Doom

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers a decisively playable experience in Doom at every tested resolution and preset. At 4K, the lowest average frame rate recorded is 88 FPS on the Ultra preset, which is well above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The data confirms this pairing is not merely capable, but provides substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1440p and 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured performance data for Doom reveals a system that scales gracefully across all configurations. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates range from 250 FPS on Ultra to 409 FPS on Low. The Medium preset at this resolution produces an average of 363 FPS, with a minimum of 308 FPS and a maximum of 417 FPS. The High preset yields 306 FPS average. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 5080 is the dominant force, pushing frame rates far beyond the capabilities of typical displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains exceptional. The Ultra preset averages 162 FPS, while High delivers 198 FPS. Low settings reach an average of 269 FPS, and Medium produces 235 FPS with a minimum of 199 FPS and a maximum of 270 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p reduces average frame rates by roughly 35-40% across presets, which is a typical scaling factor for a GPU-bound title at these settings.

At 3840x2160, the system still maintains high playability. The Ultra preset averages 88 FPS, which is 28 FPS above the playable threshold. High settings average 107 FPS, Medium averages 127 FPS with a minimum of 108 FPS and maximum of 146 FPS, and Low reaches 146 FPS. The 4K results show a more pronounced performance drop compared to 1440p, with Ultra being 46% slower than at 1440p. This indicates that 4K Ultra is the most demanding scenario tested, yet it still clears the 60 FPS bar by a comfortable margin.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU in this configuration offer insight into what other hardware would behave similarly. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 has an average benchmark score of 26324, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. Its closest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS, which scores 26402, a delta of -0.3% relative to the 7600. This means the 7435HS would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Doom. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX scores 26274, a 0.2% delta, making it another near-identical alternative. The Intel Core i9-11900KF scores 26212, a 0.4% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U scores 26187, a 0.5% delta. All four rivals are within half a percent of the 7600's average score, so any of them would yield statistically indistinguishable frame rates in this game.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 has an average benchmark score of 56083, ranking in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57367, which is 2.2% higher, making it a slightly faster alternative. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, a 0.6% delta, and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, a 0.7% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, a 2.3% delta. In practical terms, the 8060S and RX 6750 GRE 12 GB would produce nearly the same frame rates as the RTX 5080 in Doom, while the RX 9070 GRE would be marginally faster and the Pro W5700X slightly slower.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data shows that the GPU is the primary performance driver in Doom for this configuration, but the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extraordinarily high, ranging from 250 to 409 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 39% reduction in average FPS, which is entirely attributable to GPU workload. However, the fact that even the Ultra preset exceeds 250 FPS suggests that the Ryzen 5 7600 is not a bottleneck at this resolution, as the GPU is still able to push massive frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high, but the GPU's load increases. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 107 FPS, or a 40% reduction. This is consistent with the 1080p scaling, indicating that the GPU is still the dominant factor. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, provide enough single-thread performance to keep up with the GPU's output, as evidenced by the 269 FPS Low preset result.

The 4K results reveal a shift toward GPU saturation. The difference between Low and Ultra at 3840x2160 is 58 FPS, or a 40% reduction, which mirrors the other resolutions. This consistency suggests that the CPU is not becoming a limiting factor even at 4K, as the frame rates scale predictably with GPU load. The Ryzen 5 7600's single-thread performance, demonstrated by its 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1852, is sufficient to feed the RTX 5080 across all tested scenarios.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Doom, and the data shows it clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution and preset combination tested. At 3840x2160, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable, with the Ultra preset averaging 88 FPS. This is the most demanding scenario, and it still provides a 28 FPS margin over the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 162 FPS, which is more than double the threshold, and at 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 250 FPS.

The verdict by resolution confirms that every setting is playable. For 3840x2160, the best settings are Ultra with an average of 88 FPS. For 2560x1440, Ultra is also the best, averaging 162 FPS. For 1920x1080, Ultra averages 250 FPS. No preset at any resolution dips below the 60 FPS threshold, making this a universally playable configuration for Doom.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 ranks 190th out of 3712 tested combinations in Doom. This places it in the top 5.1% of all tested systems, which is a strong result given the game's release date of 2016-05-12 and the modern hardware used. The high rank is driven primarily by the GPU's 87th percentile standing among all GPUs, while the CPU's 78th percentile ranking provides sufficient support. The 190th rank out of 3712 combos indicates that most tested systems are slower, but there are still 189 combinations that outperform this one, likely featuring higher-end GPUs or more recent CPU flagships.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 250 FPS. This is the highest visual quality setting available, and it performs exceptionally well. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 162 FPS, again the most demanding option and well above the threshold. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 88 FPS, which is the most demanding setting tested and still maintains a 28 FPS buffer above the 60 FPS minimum. In all three resolutions, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice, as it provides maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing playability. The data shows no scenario where the user must compromise on settings to achieve a smooth experience.
