Doom

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers a remarkable performance profile in Doom, with measured frame rates that scale predictably across resolutions and settings. This combination ranks 262nd out of 1681 tested combos in this title, placing it comfortably in the top 15.6% of all configurations evaluated. The data shows a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s capabilities become more apparent at 1080p, where frame rates approach the limits of what the processor can feed.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is the expected behavior for a system where the graphics card is the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo produces 222.2 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings drops this to 144.1 FPS, a reduction of 35.1% from the 1080p figure. At 4K Ultra, the average falls to 75.6 FPS, which is 65.9% lower than the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti’s rendering workload scales heavily with pixel count, and the CPU is not the limiting factor at these higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern shifts when examining lower settings, particularly at 1080p. At Low settings, the combo reaches 332.2 FPS at 1080p, but this drops to 240.6 FPS at 1440p and 131.2 FPS at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings is 27.6%, which is smaller than the 35.1% drop seen at Ultra settings. This suggests that at low graphical fidelity, the CPU begins to play a more significant role in limiting performance, as the GPU has less work to do per frame. The Ryzen 5 5600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, appears to cap the maximum achievable frame rate somewhere above 330 FPS, as evidenced by the 1080p Low result being the highest recorded figure across all tests.

At 4K resolution, the performance difference between settings becomes more pronounced in absolute terms. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 131.2 FPS down to 75.6 FPS, a 42.4% reduction. This wide margin indicates that the GPU’s fill rate and shading capabilities are heavily taxed at 4K, and each incremental increase in visual quality costs a substantial number of frames. The data suggests that at 4K, the RTX 4070 Ti is the definitive limiting component, with the CPU having ample headroom to spare.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 262 out of 1681 tested configurations in Doom places it in the 84.4th percentile, meaning it outperforms roughly 84% of all systems tested in this game. This is a strong result for a pairing that includes a mid-range APU with integrated graphics and a high-end discrete GPU. The ranking reflects the GPU’s dominance in this title, as Doom is known to be a well-optimized engine that scales effectively with graphics hardware.

The CPU’s benchmark data helps contextualize this ranking. The Ryzen 5 5600G has an average benchmark score of 19983 and sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11600H (deltaPct 0.2), Intel Core i7-11800H (deltaPct -0.2), and AMD EPYC 7713P (deltaPct -0.2). These extremely small deltas (all within 0.3%) indicate that the 5600G is performance-equivalent to these processors in general compute tasks. In gaming, however, the GPU’s 85th percentile standing (with an average benchmark score of 44900) dominates the equation.

The GPU’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (deltaPct -0.6), Intel Arc A730M (deltaPct -1.5), AMD Radeon Pro 580 (deltaPct 1.6), and AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (deltaPct -1.6). The fact that the RTX 4070 Ti outperforms the RTX 5090 Mobile by 0.6% in average benchmark scores is notable, as it suggests the desktop card’s thermal and power headroom translates into tangible performance advantages. This GPU strength is what propels the combo to its 262nd place ranking, despite the CPU being a mid-tier 5000-series part.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce 332.2 FPS, Medium yields 314.3 FPS, High reaches 269.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 222.2 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 110 FPS, demonstrating that even at the highest quality preset, the system maintains frame rates well above the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. The progression from Low to Medium to High to Ultra shows diminishing returns in visual quality for the performance cost, with the largest single-step drop occurring between High and Ultra (47.4 FPS, a 17.6% reduction).

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust but shows clear scaling pressures on the GPU. Low settings deliver 240.6 FPS, Medium produces 207.1 FPS, High achieves 178.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 144.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 96.5 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the 1080p spread. Notably, the 1440p Ultra result of 144.1 FPS is nearly identical to the 1080p Ultra result minus the CPU headroom, suggesting that the GPU is becoming the primary limiter at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable frame rates but with a compressed range. Low settings produce 131.2 FPS, Medium reaches 111 FPS, High achieves 95.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 75.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 55.6 FPS, which is a 42.4% reduction from Low. This compression indicates that at 4K, the GPU’s pixel throughput becomes the dominant constraint, and the CPU’s role in determining final frame rates diminishes significantly. The 4K Ultra result of 75.6 FPS is still above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, making this combo viable for high-resolution gaming.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti plays the central role in determining this combo’s gaming performance, particularly at resolutions above 1080p. The GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Doom’s texture-heavy environments at 4K. The memory clock runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective), and the GPU operates with a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. These specifications allow the card to achieve a pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s, which directly translate to the high frame rates observed in the measured data.

The GPU’s architecture, Ada Lovelace on a 5 nm process at TSMC, packs 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die. With 7680 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, the card has substantial compute resources. The FP32 performance of 40.09 TFLOPS and FP16 performance of 40.09 TFLOPS (1:1) indicate that the card is well-balanced for both rasterization and compute-heavy workloads. The 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores further extend its capabilities, though Doom’s original 2016 engine does not rely heavily on ray tracing or DLSS features.

The GPU’s benchmark scores reinforce its strong position. A PassMark G3D score of 31624 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5024 place the card at the 85th percentile among all GPUs. Its OpenCL score of 205028 and Vulkan score of 186784 in Geekbench tests show robust API performance. The card’s 285 W TDP and suggested 600 W PSU requirement indicate that it draws significant power, but the measured FPS results justify this power envelope. The GPU’s role in this combo is unambiguous: it is the primary driver of gaming performance, with the CPU providing sufficient support to avoid becoming a bottleneck until frame rates exceed 300 FPS at 1080p.
