Valorant

In Valorant, the Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers average frame rates that range from 280 FPS at 4K Ultra to 386.4 FPS at 1080p Low. The combination ranks 1294th out of 1650 tested configurations, placing it in the lower half of the database despite the high absolute frame counts. The data shows a system that is far from the top of the leaderboard in this title, yet one that still produces frame rates well above the refresh rates of most gaming monitors.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data shows that the Low preset yields the highest average frame rates at every resolution, but the High and Ultra presets remain above 280 FPS even at 4K. For competitive play, Low is the optimal choice, as it maximizes frame rate. At 1080p, Low produces 386.4 FPS, Medium 326.6, High 322.8, and Ultra 318.9. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, but even Ultra exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. At 1440p, Low reaches 364.5 FPS, Medium 315, High 305.5, and Ultra 303.7. At 4K, Low yields 338.5, Medium 289.9, High 285.4, and Ultra 280. The data indicates that players can safely select High or Ultra for a better visual experience without sacrificing playability on high-refresh-rate displays. For those who prioritize absolute frame rate, Low is the clear choice, but the difference between Low and Ultra is not large enough to justify a significant visual downgrade on a 144Hz or 240Hz monitor.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a 7 nm process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 2150 MHz, with a game clock of 2495 MHz and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. Its 2560 shading units and 160 texture mapping units contribute to a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s. The GPU's Passmark G3D score is 20700, placing it in the 79th percentile of all GPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 0.2% slower than the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, 0.3% faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, 0.9% faster than the AMD Radeon 880M, and 1.3% faster than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. The launch MSRP is 549 USD. In Valorant, the GPU's high memory bandwidth and 12 GB VRAM ensure that memory capacity is never a limiting factor, even at 4K Ultra settings. The GPU's compute capabilities are far beyond what this title requires, as evidenced by the consistently high frame rates across all tested presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 318.9 on Ultra to 386.4 on Low. Medium produces 326.6, and High 322.8. At 2560x1440, Low yields 364.5, Medium 315, High 305.5, and Ultra 303.7. At 3840x2160, Low reaches 338.5, Medium 289.9, High 285.4, and Ultra 280. The scaling from 1080p to 4K is modest; the decline is less than 50 FPS at every preset, and the lowest average across all resolutions and settings is 280 FPS at 4K Ultra. The order of settings is consistent: Low always produces the highest frame rate, followed by Medium, then High, and finally Ultra. The data shows that the GPU maintains high frame rates across all resolutions, with the difference between 1080p and 4K being relatively small. This suggests that the CPU is the primary bottleneck at lower resolutions, while the GPU remains capable of pushing high frame rates even at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1294th out of 1650 tested configurations in Valorant. This places it in the lower half of the field, despite the CPU and GPU individually sitting in the 73rd and 79th percentiles respectively. The discrepancy suggests that other CPU-GPU pairings, possibly with higher single-thread performance or different memory configurations, achieve better results in this title. The measured FPS, however, are exceptionally high, indicating that the combo is more than capable of driving high-refresh-rate displays. The rank reflects the relative performance against all tested combos, not an absolute deficiency. In absolute terms, the i5-10400F and RX 6750 XT deliver frame rates that would satisfy any competitive player, but the database shows that many other combinations outperform it in Valorant. The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the AMD EPYC 7552 and Intel Core i5-8500, have similar average benchmark scores, yet the combo's rank suggests that the pairing is not optimized for this specific game.
