Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a playable experience in Doom at 1080p and 1440p, but falls short of the 60 FPS threshold at 4K. The measured data shows a clear performance curve, with the combo achieving its highest frame rates at 1920x1080 and scaling down predictably as resolution increases. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the playable threshold, while at lower resolutions, even the most demanding settings remain comfortably above 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces strong results across all settings. The Low preset delivers an average of 164 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded for this configuration. Medium follows at 143 FPS, with a minimum of 121 and maximum of 164. High drops to 121 FPS average, while Ultra still maintains a solid 99 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system has ample headroom, with even the Ultra preset sitting nearly 40 FPS above the playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains playable across all presets but shows a notable step down. Low averages 106 FPS, Medium averages 92 FPS (ranging from 79 to 106), High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 64 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the closest call, sitting just 4 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset's minimum of 79 FPS shows that frame pacing remains consistent even with some variation.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes dramatically. Low averages 57 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. Medium averages 50 FPS, with a minimum of 43 and maximum of 58. High averages 42 FPS, and Ultra drops to 35 FPS. None of these presets reach the 60 FPS mark, meaning the 4K resolution is effectively out of reach for this hardware combination in Doom. The gap between Low (57 FPS) and Ultra (35 FPS) at 4K is substantial, representing a 22 FPS difference between the least and most demanding settings.

The min and max FPS data available for Medium presets across all resolutions shows consistent behavior. At 1080p Medium, the range is 121 to 164; at 1440p Medium, it is 79 to 106; and at 4K Medium, it is 43 to 58. These ranges indicate that the frame rate scales proportionally with resolution, with the spread between minimum and maximum remaining roughly consistent.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2987 out of 3712 tested combos in Doom. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, meaning roughly 80 percent of all tested hardware configurations perform better in this game. The rank reflects the GPU's mid-tier positioning, as the Arc B570 sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU is at the 79th percentile among all CPUs.

The rank relative to other combos suggests that while this system can run Doom at playable frame rates in most scenarios, it is not a high-performance configuration. The 4K results pull the overall rank down, since many other combos can handle 4K in this game. At 1080p and 1440p, the performance is respectable, but the 4K failure prevents the combo from ranking higher.

Given that the data is measured rather than estimated, the rank carries the weight of actual testing. The combo's position near the 80th percentile of all combos indicates that gamers seeking high-refresh-rate 4K play would need to look at more powerful hardware, while those targeting 1080p or 1440p would find this configuration adequate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, provide context for what other processors would behave similarly. The Intel Core i5-12600K matches the Ryzen 7 5700X exactly with a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X scores 0.2 percent lower, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 0.2 percent higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H scores 0.3 percent higher. These deltas are negligible, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical results when paired with the Arc B570 in Doom.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 0.1 percent higher, and the Intel Arc A750, which scores 0.1 percent lower. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M is 0.4 percent higher, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X is 0.5 percent lower. These differences are minor, suggesting that swapping the Arc B570 for any of these GPUs would yield similar frame rates in most scenarios.

For practical purposes, a system built with the Ryzen 7 5700X and an Arc A750 would perform nearly identically to one with the Arc B570. Similarly, pairing the Arc B570 with an i5-12600K instead of the Ryzen 7 5700X would produce almost the same results. The benchmark deltas are all within 0.5 percent, which is within the margin of measurement noise.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals which component limits the system in Doom. The frame rate drops are proportionally larger when moving from 1440p to 4K than when moving from 1080p to 1440p. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 164 FPS; at 1440p Low, it drops to 106 FPS (a 35 percent reduction); and at 4K Low, it falls to 57 FPS (a 46 percent reduction from 1440p). This increasing rate of decline points to the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

At 1080p, the CPU's role is more prominent. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 65 FPS (164 versus 99), which suggests the GPU is still doing the bulk of the work even at the lowest settings. However, the fact that the combo ranks at the 79th percentile for CPU and 65th percentile for GPU indicates the CPU has more headroom relative to its peers than the GPU does.

At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus with 380.0 GB/s bandwidth appears insufficient for the demands of 4K rendering in Doom. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, is unlikely to be the constraint at this resolution, as frame rates drop to 35-57 FPS regardless of the CPU's capability.

The preset scaling at each resolution also confirms the GPU-centric nature of the workload. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 22 FPS, while at 1080p, the same preset gap is 65 FPS. This compression of the preset range at higher resolutions indicates the GPU's pixel throughput becomes the dominant factor, reducing the impact of settings changes.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 99 FPS, which is the most demanding option that stays above the 60 FPS threshold. Since all presets at this resolution exceed 60 FPS, gamers can use the highest settings without concern. The Ultra preset provides the best visual quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 64 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS threshold by a slim margin. This is the best playable setting at this resolution. While it is only 4 FPS above the threshold, the measured data confirms it stays playable. Gamers preferring a larger safety margin could drop to High at 78 FPS, but Ultra remains viable.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold. The best result is Low at 57 FPS, which falls short by 3 FPS. Since the verdict data lists no playable settings for 4K, there is no recommended preset at this resolution for the 60 FPS target.

The Verdict

This PC can run Doom at playable frame rates at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 across all settings presets. At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 99 FPS, and at 1440p, the Ultra preset delivers 64 FPS, both clearing the 60 FPS threshold. The data confirms that the best settings at these resolutions are Ultra, with average frame rates of 99 and 64 respectively.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot achieve 60 FPS on any preset. The closest is Low at 57 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The verdict data explicitly lists no playable settings at 4K, and the best settings field is null for this resolution. Gamers targeting 4K would need to consider more powerful hardware, as this combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Arc B570 is not sufficient for Doom at that resolution. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, however, this combo delivers a smooth and responsive experience with maximum settings.
