Performance Analysis: Doom on Your System
This system pairing, the Intel Core i7-12700K with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, is a formidable combination for running the 2016 FPS title Doom. The benchmark data indicates that this hardware delivers exceptionally high frame rates across all tested resolutions, firmly exceeding the 60 FPS playability threshold in every scenario. The results show a system that is not merely capable, but one that provides significant headroom for high-refresh-rate displays, even at 4K resolution.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The measured performance data for this configuration shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high, making this resolution ideal for competitive play or high refresh rate monitors. The lowest average FPS recorded at this resolution is 181 FPS on the Ultra preset. The High preset achieves an average of 221 FPS, while Medium delivers 262 FPS, with a minimum of 223 FPS and a maximum of 301 FPS. The Low preset pushes the average to 301 FPS, with a maximum of 301 FPS, effectively maxing out many standard 300Hz displays.
Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains stellar. The Ultra preset still delivers an average of 117 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. The High settings produce an average of 143 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 170 FPS, with a minimum of 144 FPS and a maximum of 195 FPS. The Low preset achieves an average of 195 FPS. This resolution offers an excellent balance between visual fidelity and raw speed, with all settings providing a comfortable margin above the playability threshold.
At 3840x2160, the system begins to show its limits, but it remains fully playable. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, maintains an average of 63 FPS. The High preset yields a more comfortable 78 FPS average. The Medium preset shows an average of 92 FPS, with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS. The Low preset reaches an average of 105 FPS. Even at 4K, the system can handle the game's most demanding settings, though the Ultra preset sits close to the 60 FPS line, suggesting it is the boundary for a locked 60 FPS experience.
FAQ
*Q: Can this PC run Doom at 4K resolution with the Ultra preset?*
A: Yes, it can. The data shows an average of 63 FPS at 3840x2160 with the Ultra preset, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This suggests the experience will be fluid, but with less headroom than at lower resolutions.
Q: What is the best settings preset for a 144Hz monitor at 2560x1440?
A: The Ultra preset at 2560x1440 delivers an average of 117 FPS. This is below 144 FPS, so for a full 144Hz experience, you would need to use the High preset, which averages 143 FPS, or the Medium preset, which averages 170 FPS.
Q: How does the RTX 3080 perform relative to its peers in this game?
A: The RTX 3080's average benchmark score is 23172, placing it in the 68th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA P106-100 and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16, have nearly identical average scores, with delta percentages of -0.3%. This indicates the GPU's performance is closely matched with those specific products in general compute workloads.
*Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck for this GPU in Doom?*
A: The benchmark data for the CPU shows it ranks in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 35287 is very close to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-13600T, which scores 35305 with a delta of -0.1%. Given the high frame rates achieved, the Core i7-12700K appears to provide ample processing power to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 3080 in this title.
Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1920x1080 with Medium settings?
A: The average FPS at 1920x1080 with Medium settings is 262, with a minimum of 223 FPS and a maximum of 301 FPS. This makes the pairing exceptionally well-suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming.
*Q: How does this specific combo rank compared to other tested systems for Doom?*
A: This configuration ranks 1054th out of a total of 3712 tested combos. This places it in the top third of all tested systems, indicating it provides above-average performance for this game.
Best Settings per Resolution
For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average at or above 60 FPS is the optimal choice for maximum visual quality without sacrificing playability.
- 3840x2160: The Ultra preset is the best choice, achieving an average of 63 FPS. This is the highest visual quality setting that clears the 60 FPS threshold at 4K.
- 2560x1440: The Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 117 FPS. This provides a significant performance cushion over the 60 FPS minimum and allows for smoother motion.
- 1920x1080: The Ultra preset is the best choice, with an average of 181 FPS. This ensures maximum graphical fidelity while still providing frame rates high enough for fast-paced gameplay on high refresh rate monitors.
Similar Performance Alternatives
Based on the nearest rivals for both the CPU and GPU, several other hardware combinations would yield similar performance in Doom.
- CPU Alternatives: The Intel Core i7-12700K has a very close performance profile to the Intel Core i7-12700KF, which scores 35365 with a delta of -0.2%. The Intel Core i7-13700T also performs similarly, with a score of 35403 and a delta of -0.3%. These processors would likely deliver nearly identical frame rates in gaming scenarios.
- GPU Alternatives: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080's benchmark score is closely matched by the NVIDIA P106-100 and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16, both with a delta of -0.3%. The AMD Radeon RX 6600M is also a close rival with a -0.4% delta. A system using one of these GPUs with a similar-tier CPU would produce comparable frame counts.
A system pairing one of the aforementioned rival CPUs with one of the rival GPUs would behave in a very similar manner to the Core i7-12700K + RTX 3080 combination. The data suggests that performance differences would be minimal, likely within a few percentage points.
The Verdict
This PC can absolutely run Doom, and it does so exceptionally well. The benchmark results confirm that the system clears the 60 FPS playability threshold at all tested resolutions and with all tested presets.
- 3840x2160: All presets, including Ultra, are playable. The best experience is at Ultra, with an average of 63 FPS.
- 2560x1440: All presets are playable. The Ultra preset provides an average of 117 FPS, offering a great balance of quality and speed.
- 1920x1080: All presets are playable. The Ultra preset delivers an average of 181 FPS, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate displays.
The only point of caution is the 4K Ultra preset, which, while averaging 63 FPS, has less headroom and may dip closer to the 60 FPS line in intense scenes. For a locked 60 FPS experience at 4K, the High preset is the safer choice.
