Doom

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers a remarkably fluid experience in Doom across all tested configurations, with the data showing that even the most demanding preset at 4K remains comfortably playable. The measured frame rates indicate this combination has ample headroom for high-refresh-rate displays at lower resolutions, while still providing a smooth experience at 4K Ultra settings. The benchmark results place this combo at rank 495 out of 1681 tested combinations, placing it in the upper third of all systems tested in this title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data shows a clear hierarchy across the four available presets at each resolution. At 1080p, the Low preset achieves an average of 279.8 FPS, while Medium reaches 266.3 FPS, High delivers 231.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 187.9 FPS. The relatively modest gap between Low and Medium—just 13.5 FPS—suggests that Medium offers an excellent balance of visual fidelity and performance. At 1440p, the pattern shifts slightly: Low produces 202.5 FPS, Medium hits 174.6 FPS, High reaches 149.7 FPS, and Ultra falls to 120.6 FPS. The step from Medium to High costs 24.9 FPS, which is a more significant penalty than the 5.4 FPS difference between Low and Medium at this resolution.

At 4K, the choices become more consequential. The Low preset delivers 112.1 FPS, Medium provides 93.4 FPS, High achieves 80.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 67.9 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra represents an 12.9 FPS decrease, while the difference between Medium and High is 12.6 FPS. Given that all presets remain above the 60 FPS threshold at 4K, the High preset emerges as the recommended choice for this resolution, offering a substantial visual upgrade over Medium while staying comfortably ahead of the 67.9 FPS floor of Ultra. For 1440p, the High preset at 149.7 FPS is the sweet spot, as it maintains a high refresh rate experience while the Ultra preset at 120.6 FPS still provides excellent motion clarity for most displays. At 1080p, the High preset at 231.4 FPS is recommended for competitive play, though the Ultra preset at 187.9 FPS remains well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate monitors.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G brings six cores and twelve threads based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This processor features an 8 MB shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU demonstrates solid multi-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593 and a single-core score of 1919. The PassMark multithread score of 15992 further confirms its capability, while the 3DMark 16-thread score of 4863 and max-threads score of 4889 show consistent scaling across thread counts.

The processor's percentile ranking places it at 75th among all CPUs, indicating it outperforms three-quarters of tested processors. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 4600G sits within a tight performance band: it matches the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE with a 0% delta, edges out the Intel Core i5-12450H by 0.1%, and trails the Intel Core i3-14100T by 0.8% and the Intel Core i3-13100F by 1%. In Doom, the data shows that this CPU does not bottleneck the RTX 3080 Ti at 1080p, where the High preset achieves 231.4 FPS. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration appears sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates, as evidenced by the strong scaling from 1080p to 1440p. The single-thread performance, reflected in the 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and Geekbench single-core score of 1575, is adequate for Doom's game logic and physics, though the CPU's overall performance is modest compared to the GPU's capabilities.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is a formidable graphics card built on the Ampere architecture with 10240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units. It carries 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 384-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 912.4 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1365 MHz with a boost clock of 1665 MHz, and its memory runs at 1188 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed. The card's compute capabilities include 34.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 532.8 GTexel/s texture rate, while its 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI workloads.

In GPU benchmarks, the RTX 3080 Ti achieves a PassMark G3D score of 26896 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 191309. Its percentile ranking of 83rd among all GPUs places it well above average, and it sits close to its nearest rivals: it trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 by 0.5%, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 by 0.9%, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 by 1.1%, and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 1.6% in average benchmark scores. The GPU's role in Doom is clearly dominant, as evidenced by the frame rate scaling across resolutions. At 1080p High, the system produces 231.4 FPS, which drops to 149.7 FPS at 1440p and 80.8 FPS at 4K. This pattern indicates that the RTX 3080 Ti is the primary driver of performance, with the CPU providing adequate support. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for Doom's textures at all presets, and the memory bandwidth of 912.4 GB/s ensures that texture streaming does not become a bottleneck even at 4K Ultra settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RTX 3080 Ti achieves a rank of 495 out of 1681 tested combinations in Doom. This places the system in the 29.5th percentile of all tested combos, meaning it outperforms roughly 70% of the configurations tested. The ranking reflects a slight imbalance between the CPU and GPU components, as the GPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs is notably higher than the CPU's 75th percentile among all CPUs. This mismatch suggests that the processor is the limiting factor in this pairing, particularly at lower resolutions where the GPU has more headroom to operate.

Despite this imbalance, the measured frame rates are exceptional. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 231.4 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any current display technology. The 1440p High result of 149.7 FPS remains well above the 120 FPS threshold that many high-refresh-rate monitors target. Even at 4K Ultra, the 67.9 FPS average keeps the experience smooth, though it does not fully utilize the potential of the RTX 3080 Ti. The data indicates that this combo would benefit from a more powerful CPU to fully unlock the GPU's capabilities at 1080p, where the frame rates are already extremely high but could potentially be higher with a stronger processor. The ranking also shows that while this pairing is not among the top configurations, it delivers a consistently excellent experience across all tested settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the frame rate drops from 231.4 FPS to 149.7 FPS, a decrease of 81.7 FPS or roughly 35%. The transition from 1440p to 4K at High settings sees a further drop from 149.7 FPS to 80.8 FPS, a reduction of 68.9 FPS or approximately 46%. This accelerating decline with each resolution step is typical of a system where the GPU is the primary performance constraint, as the pixel count increases more dramatically at higher resolutions.

At Ultra settings, the scaling shows a similar trend: 1080p delivers 187.9 FPS, 1440p produces 120.6 FPS, and 4K drops to 67.9 FPS. The percentage drops are 35.8% from 1080p to 1440p and 43.7% from 1440p to 4K. These consistent patterns across presets indicate that the RTX 3080 Ti's rendering throughput is the determining factor, with the CPU's influence diminishing as resolution increases. The fact that the frame rate does not plateau at 1080p—where the CPU would typically become the bottleneck—suggests that the Ryzen 5 4600G is still able to keep up with the GPU's demands at this resolution, though the gap between the CPU and GPU performance levels implies that the processor may be nearing its limit. The data shows that this combo is best suited for 1440p gaming, where it delivers excellent frame rates that take advantage of high-refresh-rate displays, while still providing a playable 4K experience at all presets.
