GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and their relationship to the framerate data

The Radeon RX 7600 XT is an RDNA 3.0 GPU built on the Navi 33 chip, with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory over a 128-bit bus delivering 288.0 GB/s. In the measured records, the memory clock is listed as 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The GPU's core features include 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray accelerators. Its raw fill rate is stated as 176.3 GPixel/s for pixels and 352.6 GT/s for texture, with a FP32 throughput of 22.57 TFLOPS.

Looking at the measurements, the GPU is clearly the primary driver of framerate changes as resolution scales. At the Low preset, the average FPS halves from 149 at 1080p to 54 at 4K. A similar pattern appears for High preset (98→35 FPS). The 16 GB VRAM is likely non-limiting for a 2016 title; the smallest VRAM amount recorded in similar scenarios is 16 GB, so there is no capacity note. The memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s appears sufficient to move the necessary data, but the 128-bit bus may explain the sharper drop at 3840x2160 where memory throughput becomes more critical.

The card's core clock range (base 1980 MHz, boost 2755 MHz) and game boost specification indicate that the measured combo run at its realistic operational speeds. The FP32 TFLOPS value is 22.57, which aligns with the observed FPS at 1080p where the card has headroom. The 64 TMU count and high pixel rate are less direct to the FPS, but the Arsenal suggests for an older game with modest geometry, the GPU is not. Rather, the data shows the GPU limit is hit as resolution increases, which is consistent with normal scaling.

Resolution Scaling — what the drop from 1080p to 4K says about the limiting component

When the render resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, every preset records a substantial drop in measured FPS. With the Low preset, the average goes from 149 down to 54; Medium from 115 down to 41; High from 98 down to 35; Ultra from 77 down to 27. This means the frame rate roughly halves across the board, but the exact scaling is not linear. For example, the Low preset at 2560x1440 is 100, while at 3840x2160 it is 54 – a loss that almost exactly a quarter of the 1080p value. Such clear reduction is typical of a GPU-limited scenario, where the memory interface and pixel throughput are weighted by the number of pixels multiplied by each frame.

The presence of a significant drop at the 1440p Intermediate step for the Ultra preset (77→50) versus the High (98→64) indicates that the architecture hits a throughput ceiling earlier on for higher settings. Since the CPU is quite strong (8 cores, 16 threads, boost to 5.50 GHz), the CPU not a limitation at these resolutions; all of these drops are far from the processor's capabilities as seen in its benchmark scores. Therefore, the GPU is the limiting component at 2560x1440 and above. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset reaches 77 average FPS, illustrating that the RX 7600 XT is more than capable of handling this old title at high settings, but reaches a point where additional pixel cost directly reduces output.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution and settings

The table below parses the exact numbers from the measured rows. The Medium preset is the only one with min and max FPS data; for others, only the average is provided.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|---|---|---|---|---|

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 27 | – | – |

| 3840x2160 | High | 35 | – | – |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 41 | 35 | 47 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 54 | – | – |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 50 | – | – |

| 2560x1440 | High | 64 | – | – |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 75 | 64 | 86 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 98 | – | – |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 77 | – | – |

| 1920x1080 | High | 98 | – | – |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 115 | 98 | 132 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 149 | – | – |

The data shows a clear linear progression in the averages. At a given resolution, increasing the preset from Low to Medium costs roughly 20–30 FPS in every case (e.g., at 1080p: 115 - 74 = 41; hmm, 115-114? Actually 149 down to 115; 115 to 98; 98 to 77—the step sizes are 34, 17, 21). At 4K, the same steps are 54→41→35→27, which ends very low. Only the Medium setting has reported minimums—the 4K Medium minimum of 35 places it near the average of the High preset (35), while the 1080p Medium minimum 98 is right on the exact average of the High preset (98). Such matching suggests the Medium preset at 1080p provides a stable predictable range.

Settings Recommendations — which preset offers the best experience according to the measured rows

Choosing a preset depends on target resolution and performance expectations. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset still yields a strong average of 77 FPS, and the High preset's 98 FPS is very smooth. The Medium preset’s average of 115 with a minimum of 98 would maintain a comfortable experience. Because the game is not â very intensive, there is no need to drop below High on 1080p unless the player seeks very high refresh on a 144Hz setup, where the Low preset’s 149 FPS would be beneficial. For a balanced experience, High is recommended.

At 2560x1440, the High preset has a consistent 64 FPS average, and the 60–70 range is playable. However, the Medium preset at 75 avg with min 64 is slightly smoother but shows the same low points. For a guaranteed stutter-free experience, the Medium or High are both viable; the High preset is a bit more demanding but still above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset's 50 FPS is noticeably below typical smoothness, so it is not recommended when a fallback to High or Medium can be met.

For 3840x2160, the only settings that produce framerates above 30 are Medium (41 avg, 35 min) and Low (54 avg). The High preset at 35 avg could be acceptable on a 60Hz VRR display, but the lower preset maintains at least 47 FPS at Medium, and the maximum for Medium is only 47. Therefore, Medium is the highest setting that can be reasonably recommended at 4K, with Low providing a margin for extra stability. Ultra at 27 FPS is effectively unplayable and should be avoided.
