This combination of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers exceptional performance in Doom, with the data showing that the graphics card is the dominant factor in determining frame rates across all tested configurations. The benchmark results place this combo at rank 1218 out of 3712 tested combinations, which puts it in the upper third of all systems tested for this game. The measured frame rates reveal a system that can handle even the most demanding settings at 4K, though the scaling patterns indicate where the CPU begins to matter. The following analysis breaks down the settings recommendations, component roles, ranking context, resolution scaling, and the exact measured performance data.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows that Ultra settings provide the most demanding test of this hardware, and the results demonstrate that this combo can handle it with playable frame rates at every resolution tested. At 1080p Ultra, the system delivers an average of 157 FPS, which is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay on high refresh rate monitors. Moving to 1440p Ultra drops the average to 108 FPS, still comfortably playable for competitive and single-player experiences alike. At 4K Ultra, the average falls to 65 FPS, which remains within the range of acceptable performance for a title like Doom, though users with 120Hz or higher displays will notice the limitation.

High settings offer a compelling middle ground for users prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity. At 1080p High, the system achieves 196 FPS on average, representing a 39 FPS improvement over Ultra. The 1440p High preset delivers 135 FPS, a 27 FPS gain over Ultra at the same resolution. At 4K High, the average is 81 FPS, which is 16 FPS higher than Ultra and provides a smoother experience on standard 60Hz displays with headroom to spare. The High preset appears to be the sweet spot for 4K gaming, as it maintains frame rates above the 60 FPS threshold while preserving most of the visual quality.

Medium settings provide the most balanced experience for users who want high frame rates without sacrificing too much visual detail. The data shows 1080p Medium averaging 227 FPS, 1440p Medium averaging 161 FPS, and 4K Medium averaging 96 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K is particularly notable, as the 96 FPS average with a minimum of 82 FPS and maximum of 111 FPS indicates consistent performance that would suit users with 100Hz displays. Low settings push frame rates to their maximum, with 1080p Low reaching 261 FPS, 1440p Low hitting 231 FPS, and 4K Low achieving 139 FPS.

For the best experience per the measured data, High settings at 1440p or 4K represent the optimal balance. At 1440p High, the 135 FPS average provides excellent fluidity for fast-paced action while maintaining visual quality. At 4K High, the 81 FPS average ensures smooth gameplay on standard displays. Users with 240Hz monitors should consider Medium at 1080p, as the 227 FPS average approaches the refresh ceiling while the minimum of 193 FPS never drops below playable thresholds. The Ultra preset is viable at 1080p and 1440p but falls below 70 FPS at 4K, making it less ideal for that resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals how the system's performance degrades as pixel count increases, providing insight into which component limits performance. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average frame rate drops from 196 FPS to 135 FPS, a reduction of 61 FPS or approximately 31 percent. This substantial drop indicates that the GPU is becoming more heavily utilized at higher resolutions, though the CPU still has headroom.

The transition from 1440p to 4K at High settings shows a further reduction from 135 FPS to 81 FPS, a decrease of 54 FPS or 40 percent. This larger percentage drop at the 4K resolution suggests the GPU is nearing its limits, as the increased pixel count demands more from the rendering pipeline. The pattern across all settings follows this trend, with 4K consistently showing the largest frame rate penalties.

At Low settings, the scaling is more pronounced. The system achieves 261 FPS at 1080p, 231 FPS at 1440p, and 139 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is only 30 FPS or 11.5 percent, suggesting the CPU may be limiting performance at these lower settings. However, the drop from 1440p to 4K is 92 FPS or 39.8 percent, indicating the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K even with minimal graphical settings.

The Medium settings show a similar pattern with 227 FPS at 1080p, 161 FPS at 1440p, and 96 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 29 percent from 1080p to 1440p and 40 percent from 1440p to 4K. The Ultra settings follow suit with 157 FPS at 1080p, 108 FPS at 1440p, and 65 FPS at 4K, representing drops of 31 percent and 40 percent respectively. This consistent 40 percent drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings indicates the GPU is the primary limiting factor at 4K, while the smaller drops at lower resolutions suggest the CPU plays a more significant role.
