Doom

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination delivers overwhelming performance in Doom, ranking in the top 11% of all tested combos and clearing 60 FPS at every resolution and settings preset tested. The data shows this is a system built for maximum frame rates, with the weakest recorded average being 88 FPS at 4K Ultra settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 392nd out of 3712 tested combinations, placing it in the 89.4th percentile of all CPU-GPU pairings for Doom. This is a strong result, though not a top-tier ranking, which reflects the CPU's position as a mid-range processor rather than any GPU limitation. The RTX 5080 is clearly the dominant component here; the Ryzen 5 5600F's Passmark multithread score of 19236 and single-thread score of 2872 place it in the 85th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 5080's Passmark G3D score of 36565 puts it in the 87th percentile among all GPUs.

The ranking gap between this combo and the absolute top of the leaderboard is largely attributable to the CPU. The Ryzen 5 5600F's closest rivals in average benchmark score are the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 at 36938 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at 37018 (-0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at 37093 (-0.4%), and the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37112 (-0.5%). These deltas are negligible, meaning the 5600F sits in a tightly clustered performance band where no single rival offers a meaningful CPU-side advantage. The GPU's nearest rivals — the AMD Radeon 8060S at 55757 (0.6% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55698 (0.7%), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54828 (2.3%), and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE at 57367 (-2.2%) — similarly show that the RTX 5080 has no direct competitor within 2% of its average score.

In practical terms for Doom, this ranking means the combo is positioned to crush the game's requirements. The game launched in May 2016, and modern hardware of this caliber dramatically exceeds what that era expected. The measured FPS data confirms the ranking: even the most demanding preset at the highest resolution produces frame rates more than 45% above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

FAQ

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system produces staggering frame rates across all presets. Low settings average 293 FPS, Medium averages 280 FPS with a minimum of 238 and maximum of 322, High averages 263 FPS, and Ultra averages 245 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is just 48 FPS, indicating that the GPU is so far ahead of the game's demands that settings changes have diminishing returns. Even the lowest recorded minimum — 238 FPS at Medium — is nearly four times the playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains exceptionally high. Low settings average 254 FPS, Medium averages 235 FPS with minimums of 199 and maximums of 270, High averages 198 FPS, and Ultra averages 162 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces a higher average FPS than the 4K High preset, which demonstrates how resolution scaling affects this GPU. The 1440p Ultra result of 162 FPS is still 2.7 times the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system finally shows some load, though it remains comfortably above playable levels. Low settings average 146 FPS, Medium averages 127 FPS with minimums of 108 and maximums of 146, High averages 107 FPS, and Ultra averages 88 FPS. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium — 108 FPS — is still 80% above the playability threshold. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a 58 FPS drop, from 146 to 88, which is the largest settings sensitivity of any resolution tested. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is finally becoming the limiting factor, though it never approaches a point where gameplay quality suffers.

The complete dataset shows a consistent pattern: resolution scaling has a larger impact on FPS than settings changes. Going from 1080p Ultra (245 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (162 FPS) costs 83 FPS, while going from 1440p Ultra (162 FPS) to 4K Ultra (88 FPS) costs another 74 FPS. In contrast, moving from High to Ultra at any given resolution costs between 18 and 26 FPS.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Doom, and the verdict data confirms playability at every resolution and preset combination tested. The verdict by resolution lists all four settings — High, Low, Medium, and Ultra — as playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average FPS of 88 at 4K, 162 at 1440p, and 245 at 1080p.

The 60 FPS playability threshold is cleared with enormous margin across the board. The lowest average FPS in the entire dataset is the 88 FPS achieved at 4K Ultra, which is 46.7% above the threshold. Every other configuration exceeds 100 FPS average, and most exceed 200 FPS. The system never drops below 108 FPS even in the minimum FPS measurements captured at Medium settings, meaning there is no scenario in the tested data where frame pacing would become a concern.

For a game like Doom — a fast-paced FPS where consistent high frame rates directly impact gameplay smoothness — this combo is overkill in the most positive sense. The data indicates that players can max out every visual option at any resolution and still receive frame rates that exceed what high-refresh-rate monitors can display at 4K. At 1440p and 1080p, the frame rates are high enough to fully utilize 240Hz displays.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F are the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, and the Intel Core i9-12900T. All four processors deliver average benchmark scores within 0.5% of the 5600F's 36945 score. In Doom specifically, swapping the 5600F for any of these would produce nearly identical frame rates, as the GPU is the primary performance driver in this pairing. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 at 36938 (0% delta) is the closest match, while the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37112 (-0.5%) is the strongest of the group by a negligible margin.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 are the AMD Radeon 8060S, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is the only listed rival that outperforms the RTX 5080, with an average score of 57367 compared to 56083, a 2.2% advantage. The AMD Radeon 8060S at 55757 (0.6% delta) and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55698 (0.7%) are nearly identical in performance. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54828 trails by 2.3%.

Choosing any of these GPU alternatives would result in Doom performance that is virtually indistinguishable from the RTX 5080 in practical terms. The 2.2% delta between the best and worst rival translates to roughly 2-6 FPS at the frame rates this system achieves, which is imperceptible in gameplay. However, the RTX 5080's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth provide headroom that the data suggests is unnecessary for this particular game.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 245 FPS. This is the maximum quality setting available, and it delivers more than four times the playability threshold. The Medium preset at 1080p reaches a maximum FPS of 322, but Ultra's 245 FPS average is the better choice for visual quality with no meaningful performance sacrifice.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings again provide the best balance, averaging 162 FPS. This is 2.7 times the 60 FPS threshold, leaving substantial headroom for demanding scenes. The data shows no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution, as even the most conservative estimate of minimum performance stays well above playable levels.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the recommended preset, averaging 88 FPS. This is the only resolution where the system approaches the edge of its comfort zone, but 88 FPS is still 46.7% above the playability threshold. The High preset at 4K averages 107 FPS, which offers a 19 FPS improvement over Ultra for those who prioritize frame rate over maximum visual fidelity. However, the Ultra preset at 88 FPS is entirely playable and delivers the best visual experience the game can offer at 4K.
