Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers a decisive verdict for Doom: this combination clears the 60 FPS threshold at every tested resolution and preset, including 4K Ultra with an average of 72.3 FPS. Benchmark data confirms this is a high-performing pairing, ranking in the 82nd percentile for the CPU and 82nd percentile for the GPU, with measured frame rates that leave substantial headroom even at the most demanding settings.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Doom at 4K resolution?*

A: Yes. The data shows all four tested settings at 3840x2160 — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — maintain average frame rates above 60 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, still delivers an average of 72.3 FPS.

Q: What is the best setting to use at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves an average of 205.1 FPS, making it the highest quality setting that remains well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. All presets at this resolution exceed 200 FPS.

Q: How does the combo rank compared to other tested systems?

A: This specific CPU-GPU combination ranks 675th out of 3712 tested combos for Doom, placing it in the top 18% of all configurations in the database.

Q: Which component is the bottleneck at 1440p?

A: The data indicates the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset drops to 131.4 FPS from 205.1 FPS at 1080p Ultra, a 36% reduction that points to graphics card scaling limitations rather than CPU constraints.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 5700 a strong performer for gaming?

A: The CPU scores in the 78th percentile among all processors, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a single-core score of 2916. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, performs within 0.1% overall, while the Ryzen 7 5825U is 0.3% ahead.

Q: Does the RTX 5070 outperform its nearest rivals significantly?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score of 40377 places it 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 580 and 0.8% ahead of the Radeon Pro WX 7100. However, it trails the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 by 1.2% in average score, showing tight competition among these comparable cards.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination ranks 675th out of 3712 tested combos for Doom, positioning it in the 82nd percentile of all configurations evaluated. This rank reflects a system that delivers exceptional performance in this title, with the measured frame rates confirming the pairing's strength across all resolution tiers.

The ranking becomes more meaningful when examining the actual performance deltas. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 205.1 FPS, which is more than triple the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 131.4 FPS, still more than double the threshold. Even at 4K Ultra, the 72.3 FPS average represents a 20.5% margin above the playable threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay without compromising visual quality.

The percentile scores of the individual components corroborate this ranking. The CPU's 78th percentile standing among all processors and the GPU's 82nd percentile among all graphics cards indicate both components are well above average, with the GPU slightly leading in relative performance. This balance explains why the combo ranks highly — neither component drags down the overall experience in Doom.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear choice, delivering an average of 205.1 FPS. Every preset at this resolution exceeds 290 FPS at Medium and above, with Low reaching 337.3 FPS. The GPU is so far ahead of requirements here that even the highest quality settings leave massive performance headroom.

At 2560x1440, Ultra remains the recommended setting with an average of 131.4 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a 36% reduction in frame rate at Ultra, but the result is still comfortably above 60 FPS. High settings produce 164.1 FPS, Medium 190.9 FPS, and Low 218.2 FPS, all of which are viable for high-refresh-rate displays.

At 3840x2160, Ultra is still the best playable setting, averaging 72.3 FPS. This is the only resolution where the margin above 60 FPS narrows to a single-digit percentage — 20.5% — but it remains playable. High settings offer 88.2 FPS, Medium 103.5 FPS, and Low 121.8 FPS. For users prioritizing maximum frame rates over visual fidelity, Low at 4K provides a 68.5% performance boost over Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700's average benchmark score of 25517 sits within a narrow band of comparable processors. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, a 0.1% difference, while the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, also 0.1% off. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U trails by 0.1% with 25485, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U leads by 0.3% with 25446. These four processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Doom, making them functional substitutes depending on platform availability.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070's average score of 40377 is closely matched by several rivals. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 scores 40318, a 0.1% gap, while the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40063, 0.8% lower. The NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile is 2% behind with 39568. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870, which is 1.2% higher than the RTX 5070, making it the only listed rival that would slightly outperform in synthetic benchmarks. However, these rivals are professional or mobile-class cards, so actual gaming behavior may differ from the average benchmark scores.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals a clear pattern: the GPU becomes the dominant factor as resolution increases, while the CPU's influence diminishes. At 1080p, the CPU can feed frames quickly enough that the GPU is rarely the bottleneck — the Ultra preset at 205.1 FPS versus Low at 337.3 FPS shows a 64.4% difference attributable almost entirely to GPU load. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads, with a 4.60 GHz boost clock, provide ample headroom for Doom's engine.

Moving to 1440p, the gap between presets narrows slightly. Ultra at 131.4 FPS versus Low at 218.2 FPS represents a 66.1% difference, but the absolute numbers drop across the board. This suggests the GPU is beginning to saturate, as the same preset settings require more pixel throughput. The CPU's role stays constant — its benchmark scores (Cinebench R23 multi-core 20655, single-core 2916) indicate it can sustain high frame rates without becoming the limiting factor.

At 4K, the GPU's dominance becomes unmistakable. Ultra drops to 72.3 FPS while Low still achieves 121.8 FPS, a 68.5% gap. The resolution increase from 1440p to 4K at Ultra causes a 45% frame rate reduction, while the same resolution change at Low only causes a 44.2% reduction. This consistent proportional drop across presets confirms the GPU is the primary scaling constraint, with the CPU maintaining its performance headroom throughout. The data shows no resolution or preset where the CPU's 78th percentile standing becomes a liability.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Doom at every resolution and preset tested, with all twelve combinations exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous:

At 3840x2160, all four settings are playable, but Ultra is the recommended choice with an average of 72.3 FPS. This gives a 20.5% margin above the 60 FPS threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay at maximum quality. High settings provide a more comfortable 88.2 FPS for those who want additional headroom.

At 2560x1440, Ultra is again the best option, achieving 131.4 FPS. This is more than double the playable threshold, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors. The performance headroom is substantial, and users could even cap frame rates to reduce power consumption without sacrificing visual quality.

At 1920x1080, Ultra delivers 205.1 FPS, which is 3.4 times the playable threshold. This configuration is ideal for competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays, as the RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are more than sufficient for this resolution's demands.

The combination's rank of 675th out of 3712 combos underscores its capability, and the measured data confirms it. For Doom, this pairing offers exceptional performance at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K Ultra remaining comfortably playable. The only caveat is that 4K Ultra's 72.3 FPS leaves less room for frame rate drops in intense combat scenarios, but the average remains solidly above the playable threshold.
