Doom

This combo pairs the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER for Doom. The data shows a configuration that delivers strong performance across all tested settings, though it ranks in the middle of the pack. The measured results indicate that the GPU is the primary driver of frame rates, especially at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides sufficient headroom at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1032 out of 1681 tested combinations in Doom. This places it in the 61st percentile, meaning roughly 39% of tested combos perform better in this specific game. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing: the RTX 2070 SUPER is a capable 1440p-class card, but the Ryzen 5 4600G’s Zen 2 architecture and 8 MB of shared L3 cache limit its ability to push into the top tier.

Benchmark data for the CPU shows an average score of 17489, placing it in the 75th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, scores 17482 (0% delta), while the Intel Core i5-12450H is just 0.1% ahead at 17475. This suggests the 4600G is competitive with modern low-power chips, but it lacks the single-thread headroom of higher-end parts. For the GPU, the RTX 2070 SUPER averages 22206 in benchmarks, sitting in the 65th percentile. Its closest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307 (-0.5% delta), while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 is 2.5% behind at 21670.

In Doom specifically, the combo’s rank is lower than the sum of its parts might suggest. This is because the game’s engine scales heavily with raw GPU throughput, and the 4600G’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient but not exceptional for feeding the GPU at high frame rates. The result is a system that is solidly mid-pack, outperforming older or lower-end combos but trailing configurations with newer CPUs or higher-tier GPUs.

GPU Role

The RTX 2070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU clock speeds are 1605 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost, with memory running at 1750 MHz (or 14 Gbps effective). These specs allow the card to handle Doom’s demanding textures and effects, but the 8 GB VRAM is adequate rather than generous for 4K Ultra settings.

In this game, the GPU’s role is clear from the FPS scaling. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 212.9 FPS, but at 4K Ultra it drops to 47.1 FPS. This steep decline is driven by the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth, not the CPU. The card’s 113.3 GPixel/s pixel rate and 283.2 GTexel/s texture rate are the limiting factors at high resolutions. The data shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER is best utilized at 1440p, where it delivers a balanced experience, while 4K pushes it to its limits even on Low settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a GPU-bound system. At 1080p High, the combo averages 155.1 FPS. Moving to 1440p High reduces that to 99.9 FPS, a 35.6% decrease. At 4K High, the average falls to 54.7 FPS, another 45.2% reduction from 1440p. This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the bottleneck, as the CPU can keep up with the lower resolution demands but the GPU cannot maintain the same frame rates as pixel count rises.

The Low settings tell a similar story: 212.9 FPS at 1080p, 136.3 FPS at 1440p, and 75.9 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are consistent across settings, confirming that resolution is the primary variable. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the FPS would plateau at lower resolutions, but the data shows continuous scaling, so the GPU is clearly the constraining component.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Here are the exact measured average FPS values:

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 212.9 FPS
• Medium: 181.8 FPS
• High: 155.1 FPS
• Ultra: 127.8 FPS

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 136.3 FPS
• Medium: 120.6 FPS
• High: 99.9 FPS
• Ultra: 83.4 FPS

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 75.9 FPS
• Medium: 62.5 FPS
• High: 54.7 FPS
• Ultra: 47.1 FPS

At 1080p, every setting is playable, with even Ultra exceeding 120 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 85.1 FPS, showing that the GPU has headroom to handle visual upgrades. At 1440p, Ultra drops below 90 FPS, but Medium and Low remain well above 100 FPS, making this the sweet spot for high refresh rate monitors. At 4K, only Low settings break 60 FPS, and Ultra falls to 47.1 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo capable of 4K gaming in Doom?

A: At 4K Low, the combo averages 75.9 FPS, which is playable. However, at 4K Ultra, it drops to 47.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many players prefer. Medium settings yield 62.5 FPS, so 4K is viable only with reduced quality.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 4600G scores 17489 on average, which is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE at 17482 (0% delta) and the Intel Core i5-12450H at 17475 (0.1% ahead). It trails the Intel Core i3-14100T by 0.8% and the Intel Core i3-13100F by 1%, indicating that the 4600G is competitive but not a leader.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: The data shows 1440p is the optimal resolution. At High settings, it delivers 99.9 FPS, and at Low it hits 136.3 FPS. This balances visual quality with high frame rates, whereas 4K requires Low settings to stay above 60 FPS.

Q: How much performance is lost going from 1080p to 1440p?

A: At High settings, the drop is from 155.1 FPS to 99.9 FPS, a 35.6% loss. At Ultra, the loss is from 127.8 FPS to 83.4 FPS, a 34.7% decrease. This shows a consistent scaling pattern across settings.

Q: Does the GPU outperform its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER scores 22206 on average. The NVIDIA RTX A400 is 0.5% faster at 22307, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z is 0.9% slower at 22006. The RTX 4060 Mobile is 2.3% faster, and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 is 2.5% slower. The 2070 SUPER holds its own against these cards.

Q: What is the weakest link in this combo?

A: The CPU’s 8 MB of shared L3 cache and 6-core/12-thread configuration limit its ability to push extremely high frame rates at 1080p. The data shows the GPU is the bottleneck at higher resolutions, but at 1080p Low, the 212.9 FPS ceiling suggests the CPU cannot fully feed the GPU beyond that point.

Settings Recommendations

For a 1080p high refresh rate display, Ultra settings are the best choice. The combo averages 127.8 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and smooth on a 144 Hz monitor. The gap between High (155.1 FPS) and Ultra (127.8 FPS) is 27.3 FPS, so the visual upgrade is worth the frame rate cost.

At 1440p, Medium settings provide the most balanced experience. The average of 120.6 FPS is excellent for competitive play, while High drops to 99.9 FPS and Ultra falls to 83.4 FPS. If you prefer visual fidelity over raw speed, High is still playable, but Medium offers a better safety margin for demanding scenes.

For 4K, Low settings are the only reliable option. The 75.9 FPS average is smooth, but Medium drops to 62.5 FPS, which is borderline. High and Ultra are not recommended for 4K, as they fall below 55 FPS, risking stutter in action-heavy moments. If you must play at 4K, stick to Low or consider lowering the resolution to 1440p for a better experience.
