Doom

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Intel Arc B370 in Doom spans three resolutions and four quality presets. At 3840x2160, the frame rates are consistently low across the board. The High preset averages 25 FPS, the Low preset reaches 34 FPS, and the Medium preset lands at 29 FPS with a recorded range between 25 FPS minimum and 34 FPS maximum. The Ultra preset drops further to 20 FPS average. None of the 4K results approach the 60 FPS playability threshold, and the gap is substantial at every setting.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers improve but remain mixed. The High preset produces an average of 46 FPS, while Low hits 62 FPS on average. Medium sits at 54 FPS with a measured spread from 46 FPS to 62 FPS. Ultra falls to 37 FPS. Only the Low preset clears the 60 FPS bar at this resolution, and it does so by a narrow margin of 2 FPS. The Medium preset is close but still 6 FPS short.

At 1920x1080, the results are much healthier. The Low preset averages 96 FPS, Medium averages 84 FPS with a range from 71 FPS to 96 FPS, and High averages 71 FPS. Ultra is the only preset that fails to reach 60 FPS, averaging 58 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 1080p is steep, especially at High, which jumps from 46 FPS to 71 FPS, a gain of 25 FPS. Medium improves from 54 FPS to 84 FPS, and Low goes from 62 FPS to 96 FPS.

The data shows a clear pattern: this combination is playable at 1080p across most settings, playable at 1440p only on Low, and not playable at 4K under any tested preset. The minimum and maximum values recorded only for the Medium presets at each resolution indicate that frame pacing is relatively stable at that setting, but the averages tell the more important story for overall playability.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset meets the 60 FPS threshold. The highest average recorded is 34 FPS on Low, which is still 26 FPS below the playability target. The database lists no playable settings and no best settings for this resolution, meaning the combination cannot sustain a smooth experience at 4K regardless of quality configuration.

At 2560x1440, the only playable setting is Low, with an average of 62 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at this resolution, and it is exactly at the threshold with a 2 FPS cushion. Medium averages 54 FPS, which falls short, so Low is the definitive choice for 1440p gameplay.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are High with an average of 71 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, and it provides an 11 FPS margin over the threshold. Medium also clears the bar at 84 FPS, and Low reaches 96 FPS, but High is the recommended ceiling since it offers the highest visual quality while remaining comfortably playable. Ultra averages 58 FPS, just 2 FPS below the target, which makes it a borderline option but not one that the data supports as a reliable choice.

The verdict by resolution confirms this hierarchy: 1080p High is the strongest configuration, 1440p Low is the only viable option, and 4K has no viable configuration.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling across resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and the Intel Arc B370. At 1080p, the average frame rates range from 58 FPS on Ultra to 96 FPS on Low. At 1440p, the same presets produce averages from 37 FPS to 62 FPS. At 4K, the range narrows to 20 FPS to 34 FPS. The progressive decline with resolution indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as pixel count increases.

The CPU has 8 cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a single-core score of 2916. Its percentile ranking against all CPUs is 78, placing it well above the median. The GPU, in contrast, ranks at the 5th percentile against all GPUs, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. This large disparity in relative standing suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenarios.

At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 38 FPS (96 FPS versus 58 FPS). At 1440p, the same gap is 25 FPS (62 FPS versus 37 FPS). At 4K, the gap shrinks to 14 FPS (34 FPS versus 20 FPS). The shrinking delta between presets as resolution increases is consistent with GPU-bound behavior: at lower resolutions, the CPU can feed frames faster, and the GPU's limits are less exposed; at higher resolutions, the GPU is saturated regardless of settings, so preset changes have less impact.

The CPU's single-thread performance, reflected in a 3DMark single-thread score of 901 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3296, is sufficient to keep up with the GPU at 1080p. The fact that the 1080p High preset reaches 71 FPS while the same preset at 1440p drops to 46 FPS points to the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth as the bottleneck. The GPU uses system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, which further ties performance to the platform rather than dedicated VRAM.

In practical terms, the data indicates that the CPU matters more at 1080p, where the frame rates are highest and the GPU is less stressed, while the GPU matters more at 1440p and 4K, where the resolution demands exceed what the Arc B370 can deliver. The 4K results, with a maximum average of just 34 FPS, show that no amount of CPU headroom can compensate for the GPU's limitations at that resolution.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Doom, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the combination clears 60 FPS on High (71 FPS), Medium (84 FPS), and Low (96 FPS), with only Ultra falling short at 58 FPS. At 2560x1440, the only playable setting is Low, which averages 62 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS, and the best average is 34 FPS on Low.

For a smooth 60 FPS experience, the recommended configuration is 1080p High, which offers the highest quality among the playable settings while maintaining an 11 FPS margin above the threshold. Players willing to accept a lower visual quality bar can use 1440p Low, but the margin shrinks to just 2 FPS, which leaves little room for demanding scenes. The 4K resolution is not viable for playable frame rates under any tested preset.

The playable threshold of 60 FPS is met at three of the twelve tested configurations. The combination ranks 3425 out of 3712 tested combos in this game, placing it in the lower portion of the overall distribution. This low standing is consistent with the GPU's 5th percentile ranking, reinforcing that the system is capable at mainstream resolutions but not at high-end ones.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3712 tested combinations, this pairing ranks 3425th in Doom. The GPU's average benchmark score is 1184, and its nearest rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with a score of 1186 and a delta of -0.2%, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with a score of 1190 and a delta of -0.5%, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with a score of 1190 and a delta of -0.7%. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 with a delta of 1.4%. These deltas are all within 1.4% of the Arc B370's score, indicating that the GPU's performance tier is closely clustered around these older parts.

The CPU, meanwhile, has an average benchmark score of 25517, with nearest rivals including the Intel Xeon D-2752TER with a score of 25530 and a delta of -0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U with a score of 25485 and a delta of 0.1%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 6600U with a score of 25550 and a delta of 0.3%. The CPU's percentile rank of 78 against all CPUs places it comfortably above most processors, but the GPU's percentile rank of 5 pulls the overall combo down significantly.

The combination's rank in the lower 92% of all tested combinations in Doom reflects the GPU's dominant role in determining playability at higher resolutions. The CPU alone would not be the limiting factor, as its benchmark scores are far above the median, but the system's overall capability is constrained by the GPU's performance ceiling.

The 1080p results, which clear 60 FPS on three presets, show that the combo still delivers playable performance in mainstream scenarios. The 4K results, which fail to reach 60 FPS at any preset, show the hard limit of the system. This combination ranks 3425th overall, and the data suggests that gamers seeking smoother high-resolution playability would need to look elsewhere in the database for a GPU with higher relative standing.

The gap between the GPU and CPU percentiles, 5 versus 78, is the key takeaway. The CPU's benchmark scores reinforce this, with the GPU's 1184 score in Steel Nomad score standing against rivals within a 1.4% delta. The CPU's benchmark scores, 20655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, place it in a tight cluster around 25517 average. The system runs the game at 1080p High with 71 FPS, which is the best playable setting at that resolution.

Comparable frame rates at 1440p Low and 1440p Low alone at 62 FPS, and 4K remains out of reach. The overall rank of 3425 out of 3712 combos places this system in the lower third of the tested pool.

The GPU's nearest rivals, ATI Radeon HD 5770 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, both score within 1% of the Arc B370 in GPU benchmarks, but neither appears in the CPU's rival list, where the closest CPU rival is the Intel Xeon D-2752TER and AMD Ryzen 5 7640U, both within 0.1% of the Ryzen 7 5700's average. The system is a 1080p machine, and the data says so clearly.

The 3425th rank out of 3712 is the bottom line for anyone considering high refresh rate 4K playability.
