Performance Analysis: Doom on Your System
This analysis examines the measured performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 in Doom, based on benchmark data collected across three resolutions and four quality presets. The goal is to determine not only whether this combination can run the game smoothly, but how it behaves under varying loads and where it stands relative to other tested hardware.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The dataset provides average frame rates for each resolution and settings preset, though minimum and maximum FPS values are not available. At 3840x2160, the performance envelope is tight. The High preset delivers an average of 67.1 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Dropping to Medium yields 76.7 FPS, while Low pushes the average to 91.2 FPS. The Ultra preset, however, falls below the playable threshold, with an average of 55.7 FPS.
Moving to 2560x1440, the headroom expands significantly. The Ultra preset achieves an average of 102.9 FPS, comfortably above the threshold. High reaches 124.4 FPS, Medium climbs to 146.2 FPS, and Low peaks at 167.6 FPS. The scaling from 4K to 1440p is substantial, with the Ultra preset gaining roughly 47 FPS.
At 1920x1080, the combination shows its full strength. The Low preset averages 260.2 FPS, Medium hits 224.9 FPS, and High reaches 188.6 FPS. Even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains a high average of 156.5 FPS. The data indicates that at 1080p, this hardware is rarely constrained by the game’s graphical load.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals the division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the clear bottleneck. The difference between Low and Ultra settings is 35.5 FPS (91.2 vs. 55.7), showing that pixel throughput dominates performance. The CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, are sufficient to feed the GPU at this resolution, but the RTX 3070’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factor.
At 2560x1440, the balance shifts. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 64.7 FPS (167.6 vs. 102.9), indicating that the GPU still leads the workload, but the CPU begins to contribute more meaningfully. The Ryzen 7 5800XT’s Zen 3 architecture, with its 32 MB shared L3 cache, helps maintain high frame rates even as the resolution drops.
At 1920x1080, the CPU takes on a more prominent role. The spread from Low to Ultra is 103.7 FPS (260.2 vs. 156.5), which suggests that at lower resolutions, the frame rate is increasingly influenced by how quickly the CPU can process game logic and feed draw calls. The Ryzen 7 5800XT’s single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 959, supports high frame rates here. The RTX 3070, while still essential, has more than enough pixel-pushing capability to keep up.
Best Settings per Resolution
The verdict data identifies the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS for each resolution. At 3840x2160, the High preset is the best choice, averaging 67.1 FPS. This is the only resolution where Ultra is not playable. The Medium preset at 76.7 FPS and Low at 91.2 FPS are also viable, but High provides the best visual quality without dropping below the threshold.
At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is fully playable, with an average of 102.9 FPS. This gives players access to the highest settings without sacrificing smoothness. The 1440p resolution offers a strong balance between visual fidelity and performance, with all four presets clearing 60 FPS.
At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 156.5 FPS, making it the clear recommendation. The data shows that even the most demanding settings at 1080p leave substantial headroom, which is useful for high-refresh-rate monitors or future driver updates.
How This Combo Ranks
Among all tested combinations in the database, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 1578 out of 3712 combos for Doom. This places it in the upper half of tested systems, specifically in the 57th percentile overall. The rank reflects the combination’s ability to handle the game at high resolutions and settings, though it is not near the top tier of hardware configs.
The CPU’s percentileVsAllCpus is 81, meaning it outperforms 81% of all tested CPUs in general benchmarks. The GPU’s percentileVsAllGpus is 61, indicating it is above average but not exceptional. The discrepancy between these percentiles suggests that the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU in this pairing, which aligns with the observed bottleneck behavior at lower resolutions.
Similar Performance Alternatives
Looking at the nearest rivals for each component provides insight into what other hardware would perform similarly. For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H has an average benchmark score of 29868, which is 0% different from the Ryzen 7 5800XT’s average score of 29879. This means a system with that CPU would exhibit nearly identical CPU-bound performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, a -0.3% delta, placing them just slightly ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, a 0.6% delta, meaning it is marginally behind.
For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT has an average score of 17083, which is 0.7% behind the RTX 3070’s 17208. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 scores 17037, a 1% delta, and the AMD Radeon HD 7970M scores 17019, a 1.1% delta. On the other side, the NVIDIA Tesla K40c scores 17468, which is -1.5% relative to the RTX 3070, meaning it is slightly faster in synthetic benchmarks. In practice, swapping the RTX 3070 for an RX 7600 XT would yield very similar frame rates in Doom, while the GTX 690 and HD 7970M would be close but likely show small differences in real-world gaming scenarios.
The Verdict
Can this PC run Doom? The answer is yes, with caveats at the highest resolution. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset, with the Ultra preset averaging 156.5 FPS. This is a fully playable experience at any setting. At 2560x1440, all presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 102.9 FPS. The data indicates that 1440p is the sweet spot for this combination, offering high visual quality with ample performance headroom.
At 3840x2160, the situation is more nuanced. The High preset averages 67.1 FPS, which is playable, as are Medium at 76.7 FPS and Low at 91.2 FPS. However, the Ultra preset falls to 55.7 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. Players targeting 4K will need to accept High settings for a smooth experience or drop to Medium for extra cushion. The GPU’s 8 GB memory and 256-bit bus are likely the limiting factors at this resolution, rather than the CPU.
