GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, and the benchmark results reflect its substantial capabilities. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with 8960 shading units. This hardware combination produces a pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s, which directly translates to the high frame rates observed.

The 16 GB of GDDR7 memory with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth proves more than sufficient for Doom at all tested settings. Even at 4K Ultra, where the game demands the most from memory subsystems, the average FPS of 78.9 indicates no critical memory bottleneck. The GPU's FP32 compute power of 43.94 TFLOPS provides ample headroom for the game's rendering workloads. The data shows that across all resolutions, the GPU is the limiting factor when moving from Low to Ultra settings, with performance scaling consistently with the increased graphical load.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU limitation. At 1080p High, the system produces 284.3 FPS, which drops to 180.6 FPS at 1440p and further to 100.2 FPS at 4K. This represents a 64.7% reduction from 1080p to 4K at High settings, indicating that the CPU has sufficient headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. The Low settings preset shows the most dramatic scaling, going from 351 FPS at 1080p to 251.9 FPS at 1440p and 133.9 FPS at 4K.

The scaling behavior suggests that at 1080p, the system is increasingly CPU-bound, particularly at lower settings where the GPU has less work to do. The Ryzen 5 5600GT's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, are capable of driving very high frame rates, but the data indicates that above 300 FPS, the CPU becomes the limiting factor. At 4K, the GPU's workload increases substantially, and the frame rates drop to levels that are more representative of pure GPU performance, ranging from 78.9 FPS at Ultra to 133.9 FPS at Low.

How This Combo Ranks

Positioning at 157 out of 1681 tested combos places this system in the top 9.3% of all configurations tested in Doom. This rank is particularly impressive given the CPU's mid-range positioning. The Ryzen 5 5600GT sits in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, while the RTX 5070 Ti ranks in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. The combination of a strong GPU with a capable CPU allows this system to outperform many configurations that might feature more expensive processors.

The CPU's nearest rivals in general benchmarks, including the Intel Core i7-10700 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, all score within 0.5% of each other, indicating that the 5600GT is well-matched to its competition. The GPU's performance is essentially tied with the RTX 4080, differing by just 0% in average benchmark scores. This suggests that the 157th rank is driven primarily by the GPU's excellent performance, with the CPU providing sufficient support without becoming a significant bottleneck in most scenarios.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the High preset at 2560x1440 provides an excellent experience with an average of 180.6 FPS. This resolution and settings combination offers a significant visual upgrade over 1080p while maintaining frame rates well above the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. At 4K, the High preset delivers 100.2 FPS, which is smooth for most gaming scenarios, while the Ultra preset drops to 78.9 FPS, which may be preferable for those prioritizing visual fidelity over maximum frame rates.

At 1080p, even the Ultra preset achieves 228.9 FPS, making this resolution ideal for competitive play where maximum frame rates matter. The Medium settings at 1080p provide 336.5 FPS, which is only slightly lower than the Low preset's 351 FPS but with considerably better visual quality. For users with high refresh rate 1440p monitors, the Medium preset at 213.5 FPS offers an excellent compromise, providing smooth gameplay with enhanced visual details compared to Low settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves 351 FPS, Medium reaches 336.5 FPS, High delivers 284.3 FPS, and Ultra maintains 228.9 FPS. The relatively small gap between Low and Medium (14.5 FPS) suggests that the CPU begins to limit performance at these high frame rates, as the GPU has ample capacity to render frames quickly.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high but show more differentiation between settings. Low produces 251.9 FPS, Medium achieves 213.5 FPS, High delivers 180.6 FPS, and Ultra maintains 150.8 FPS. The scaling here indicates a more balanced load between CPU and GPU, with each settings tier producing a meaningful change in performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. Low settings yield 133.9 FPS, Medium achieves 116 FPS, High delivers 100.2 FPS, and Ultra drops to 78.9 FPS. The performance gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 55 FPS, demonstrating the significant impact of graphical settings on GPU load at this resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This configuration, combined with 16 MB of L3 cache, delivers strong single-threaded performance as evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 913. The CPU's general benchmark performance, with an average score of 20740, places it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, making it a solid mid-range processor.

In Doom, the CPU's role becomes increasingly important at lower resolutions and settings. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 351 FPS, which appears to be near the CPU's limit for this game. The Intel Core i7-10700 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, which score nearly identically to the 5600GT in general benchmarks, would likely produce similar frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios. The CPU's 12 threads provide adequate parallelism for the game's engine, and its boost clock of 4.60 GHz ensures responsive performance in demanding scenes. However, the data clearly shows that the GPU is the primary performance driver in most tested configurations, with the CPU only becoming a limiting factor at extremely high frame rates.
