Performance Analysis: Doom on Your System
The Intel Core i5-12400F (launch MSRP $174) paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D (launch MSRP 2,299 USD) is a combination that delivers extreme frame rates in Doom. Measured FPS data shows the system clearing 60 FPS at every resolution and setting tested, with the lowest average being 102 FPS at 4K Ultra. This analysis breaks down the performance, compares it to similar hardware, and answers common questions.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The measured FPS data covers three resolutions—1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160—each with four presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. For the Medium preset, both minimum and maximum FPS are recorded; for the other presets, only averages are provided.
| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |
|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| 3840x2160 | High | 125 | — | — |
| 3840x2160 | Low | 170 | — | — |
| 3840x2160 | Medium | 148 | 126 | 170 |
| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 102 | — | — |
| 2560x1440 | High | 231 | — | — |
| 2560x1440 | Low | 314 | — | — |
| 2560x1440 | Medium | 273 | 232 | 314 |
| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 189 | — | — |
| 1920x1080 | High | 328 | — | — |
| 1920x1080 | Low | 365 | — | — |
| 1920x1080 | Medium | 348 | 296 | 401 |
| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 292 | — | — |
At 1080p, the averages span from 292 FPS on Ultra to 365 FPS on Low. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 296 and a maximum of 401, indicating a wide but stable frame-time envelope. Moving to 1440p, the averages drop to a range of 189 (Ultra) to 314 (Low), with Medium's min/max at 232 and 314. At 4K, the spread narrows: Ultra averages 102 FPS, Low 170 FPS, and Medium sits at 148 with a minimum of 126 and a maximum of 170. The 4K High preset averages 125 FPS, which is less than half of the 1080p High average of 328.
The scaling across resolutions is steep. For example, the High preset loses 203 FPS from 1080p to 4K (328 to 125), while the Low preset loses 195 FPS (365 to 170). The Ultra preset drops from 292 at 1080p to 102 at 4K, a reduction of 190 FPS. These numbers indicate that the GPU's workload increases dramatically with resolution, and the frame rate responds accordingly.
CPU and GPU Roles
The Intel Core i5-12400F posts an average benchmark score of 19,039, placing it in the 73rd percentile among all CPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, meanwhile, scores 77,712 on average, putting it in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs. These percentiles suggest that the GPU is the stronger component in synthetic workloads, and the Doom FPS data aligns with that.
At 1080p, the system produces extremely high frame rates—over 300 FPS on Low and Medium, and 292 FPS on Ultra. This suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at these settings, but the GPU still has headroom. As resolution increases to 1440p and then 4K, the average FPS drops substantially across all presets, which points to the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck. The 4K Ultra average of 102 FPS is only about 35% of the 1080p Ultra average (292 FPS), a clear sign that the GPU's rendering load is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.
The CPU's single-thread and multi-thread performance—evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 909 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,380—is sufficient to sustain high frame rates. However, the data does not include direct CPU utilization metrics, so the exact split cannot be quantified. The scaling pattern, where FPS falls off sharply with resolution, strongly indicates that the GPU is the dominant component in this game at 1440p and 4K, while the CPU's role is more pronounced at 1080p where frame rates exceed 300.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the nearest rivals in synthetic benchmark scores are the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (average score 19,047, delta 0%), Intel Core 3 201E (19,056, delta -0.1%), Intel Core i5-1335U (18,982, delta 0.3%), and AMD EPYC 7773X (18,979, delta 0.3%). All of these processors have average scores within 0.3% of the i5-12400F, meaning they would deliver nearly identical compute performance in multi-threaded tasks. In Doom, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU at most resolutions, so any of these alternatives would likely produce similar frame rates when paired with the same GPU.
On the GPU side, the RTX 5090 D's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (average score 76,904, delta 1.1%), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, delta -1.6%), NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79,396, delta -2.1%), and NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, delta -2.4%). The RTX 5090 D's average score of 77,712 sits within 2.4% of these parts, indicating that they are closely matched in synthetic GPU benchmarks. While game-specific performance can differ, the Doom FPS results for the 5090 D—ranging from 102 FPS at 4K Ultra to 365 FPS at 1080p Low—provide a reference point for what these alternatives might achieve, assuming similar driver and thermal behavior.
How This Combo Ranks
In the database of 3,712 tested CPU-GPU combinations, this pairing ranks 68th for Doom. That places it in the top 68 of 3,712, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of configurations tested. The high rank is consistent with the GPU's strong 92nd percentile standing and the CPU's respectable 73rd percentile. The rank reflects the combined capability of the two components in this specific game, and the measured FPS data confirms that the system is at the upper echelon of performance.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC can run Doom. According to the verdict data, all four settings—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at all three resolutions, with the playable threshold set at 60 FPS. The best settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average FPS of 102 at 4K, 189 at 1440p, and 292 at 1080p. Even at the most demanding combination tested—4K Ultra—the average FPS is 102, well above the 60 FPS threshold. The system is not merely playable; it delivers a high-refresh-rate experience at every resolution and preset, making it suitable for competitive play or high-fidelity single-player sessions.
