Doom

The Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER combination delivers exceptional performance in Doom, with all tested settings at every resolution clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold by a wide margin. The data shows this is a system built for maximum frame rates, not one struggling to find playable settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Intel Core i7-14700F sits in a tight cluster of processors with nearly identical average benchmark scores. The closest match is the Intel Xeon 6505P, which scores 53701 against the i7-14700F's 53620 average, a delta of just -0.2%. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 is marginally behind at 53469, a 0.3% difference, while the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53288 (0.6% slower) and the AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53206 (0.8% slower). In practical terms, any of these four CPUs would produce virtually indistinguishable frame rates in Doom, since the game's engine is far more dependent on GPU throughput at the resolutions tested.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's nearest rival is the standard RTX 4080, which averages 54247 in benchmark scores versus 54209 for the SUPER model, a negligible -0.1% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is 1.1% higher at 54828, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698, +2.7%) and AMD Radeon 8060S (55757, +2.8%) both edge it out slightly in raw synthetic benchmarks. These deltas are small enough that real-world Doom performance differences would be minor, though the measured FPS data applies specifically to this exact CPU-GPU pairing.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers an average of 238.3 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and the system still produces nearly four times the playable threshold. Dropping to High yields 291.8 FPS, Medium hits 350.7 FPS, and Low reaches 400.4 FPS.

At 2560x1440, Ultra again is the best choice, averaging 155.6 FPS. High runs at 189 FPS, Medium at 228.1 FPS, and Low at 257.9 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is still more than 2.5 times the 60 FPS requirement, leaving substantial headroom for demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, Ultra remains the best setting with an average of 81.9 FPS. High produces 103.5 FPS, Medium hits 121 FPS, and Low reaches 139 FPS. Even at 4K with maximum settings, the 60 FPS threshold is cleared by nearly 22 FPS, meaning there is no scenario in this game where this hardware forces a compromise on visual quality.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling pattern across resolutions reveals a heavily GPU-bound workload. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra settings is 400.4 FPS versus 238.3 FPS, a difference of 162.1 FPS. This spread narrows at 1440p, where Low runs at 257.9 FPS and Ultra at 155.6 FPS, a 102.3 FPS gap. At 4K, the spread compresses further to 57.1 FPS, with Low at 139 FPS and Ultra at 81.9 FPS.

The resolution scaling tells a similar story. Moving from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra drops performance from 238.3 FPS to 155.6 FPS, a 34.7% reduction. Going from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra drops from 155.6 FPS to 81.9 FPS, a 47.4% reduction. These substantial drops indicate that the RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1080p Low, the system produces 400.4 FPS, which approaches the practical ceiling for many CPUs in game engines. The i7-14700F's 20 cores and 28 threads, with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, are clearly sufficient to feed the GPU at these extreme frame rates. At 4K Ultra, the CPU has far less influence, as the GPU is overwhelmed by the 8.3 million pixel workload. Benchmark results indicate the i7-14700F ranks in the 91st percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 4080 SUPER sits in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, confirming this pairing is well-balanced with the CPU slightly ahead.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Doom, and the data shows it does so with exceptional headroom at every resolution and preset combination. The verdictByResolution data lists all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — as playable at all three resolutions tested.

At 1920x1080, Ultra settings average 238.3 FPS, which is nearly four times the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 155.6 FPS, still well above the threshold. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 81.9 FPS, comfortably clearing 60 FPS with roughly 22 FPS of margin.

The most demanding scenario in the entire test matrix — 4K Ultra — still delivers 81.9 FPS. There is no resolution or preset in this game where this combination drops below 60 FPS. In fact, the lowest average FPS recorded across all twelve test configurations is 81.9, meaning every single configuration tested meets the playable threshold. For a game like Doom, which benefits from high refresh rates, this hardware is overqualified for standard 60 Hz displays but ideal for high-refresh monitors, particularly at 1080p and 1440p where frame rates exceed 155 FPS even on Ultra.

FAQ

Q: Does this system ever drop below 60 FPS in Doom?

A: No. Across all resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4K) and all presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), the lowest average FPS recorded is 81.9 at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3712 tested combinations in this database, the Intel Core i7-14700F and RTX 4080 SUPER pairing ranks 275th for Doom performance. This places it in the top 7.4% of all tested systems, which is consistent with the measured frame rates. The ranking reflects that while this is a very high-end configuration, there are 274 combinations that produce even higher average FPS in this game, likely featuring stronger GPUs or CPUs that push frame rates even further in the less demanding presets.

The rank of 275 is notable given that the CPU sits in the 91st percentile and the GPU in the 86th percentile individually. The slightly lower game-specific ranking compared to hardware percentiles suggests that Doom's engine rewards raw GPU rasterization power particularly well, and systems with even more powerful GPUs can pull ahead. However, for practical purposes, the difference between rank 275 and higher ranks is academic — this system already delivers over 80 FPS at 4K Ultra and over 238 FPS at 1080p Ultra, which exceeds the capabilities of most displays. The benchmark data confirms this is a top-tier combination for Doom, with no meaningful compromises required at any resolution.
