Doom

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Doom, placing this pairing in the top tier of tested configurations. The data shows a system capable of exceeding 200 FPS at 1440p in most settings and maintaining playable performance even at 4K Ultra, where it still averages 78 FPS. This analysis breaks down the specific roles of the CPU and GPU, answers common questions, and provides a detailed look at the measured performance across resolutions and settings.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael. It operates on the AMD Socket AM5 platform and features a base clock of 3.70 GHz with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. This modern architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC, provides strong single-thread performance that is crucial for games like Doom, which rely heavily on a few primary threads for game logic and physics. The processor’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache also helps by keeping frequently accessed data close to the cores, reducing latency.

In the context of Doom’s benchmark results, the CPU’s capabilities are more than sufficient to feed the GPU. The processor scores 3,072 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 21,765 in multi-core, placing it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score include the Intel Core i5-14600T, which scores 32,707 (a 0.1% difference), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, which scores 32,697 (a 0.2% difference). The Ryzen 5 7400F’s score of 32,750 places it essentially at parity with these competitors, indicating that any of these CPUs would provide a similar baseline for gaming performance.

The high frame rates observed in this game, particularly at 1080p where the average FPS reaches 368 on Low settings, suggest that the CPU is not a bottleneck. At lower resolutions, the GPU has less work to do per frame, which typically increases the demand on the CPU to process draw calls and game state updates. The fact that the system still achieves over 220 FPS at 1080p Ultra demonstrates that the Ryzen 5 7400F’s single-threaded performance and cache design are well-matched to the demands of Doom’s engine. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier also indicate it is a versatile part, but the benchmark data confirms its primary role here is to provide a stable, high-frequency foundation without limiting the GPU.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end graphics card built on the Ada Lovelace architecture. It is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU’s core clocks are rated at 2310 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost, with memory running at an effective 21 Gbps. This substantial memory bandwidth and capacity are critical for handling the high-resolution textures and effects that Doom’s Vulkan-based engine can push, especially at 4K resolution.

Benchmark results for the GPU show it performs in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 44,795, with a Passmark G3D score of 31,624 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 176,953. The nearest rival in terms of average score is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, which scores 45,152 (a -0.8% difference), and the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT, which scores 45,384 (a -1.3% difference). This places the RTX 4070 Ti in a competitive position, performing within 1.7% of these other high-end parts.

In Doom, the GPU’s role is dominant. The measured FPS scales directly with resolution and settings, which is the typical behavior of a GPU-bound workload. At 4K Ultra, the card averages 78 FPS, while dropping settings to Low at the same resolution yields 129 FPS, a 65% increase. This scaling shows that the RTX 4070 Ti’s raw compute power (40.09 TFLOPS FP32) and memory subsystem are the primary drivers of performance. The card’s 60 RT cores and 240 Tensor cores are present, but Doom (2016) does not heavily utilize ray tracing or DLSS, so the performance is largely dependent on the traditional rasterization throughput of its 7,680 shading units. The 12 GB VRAM is also sufficient for the game’s requirements, as evidenced by stable performance even at 4K with no apparent frame drops due to memory limitations.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern across resolutions, which provides insight into the system's bottleneck characteristics. At 1080p High, the system averages 271 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the average drops to 175 FPS, a 35% reduction. Finally, at 4K High, the average falls to 95 FPS, which is a 65% drop from the 1440p figure. This consistent decline as resolution increases is the classic signature of a GPU-bound scenario.

If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates at 1080p and 1440p would be much closer, as the CPU load does not scale as steeply with resolution. Instead, the data shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is being pushed harder at higher resolutions, where the pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth become the primary constraints. The scaling is not perfectly linear—the jump from 1440p to 4K (a 2.25x increase in pixels) results in a 46% drop in FPS on High settings, from 175 to 95. This indicates that the GPU is not fully saturated at 1440p, allowing for large frame rates, but it becomes the clear limiting factor at 4K.

This pattern holds across all settings. For instance, on Low settings, the average FPS drops from 368 at 1080p to 238 at 1440p, and then to 129 at 4K. The performance difference between 1080p and 4K on Low settings is a 65% reduction, which aligns with the increased pixel count. The data strongly suggests that overclocking or upgrading the CPU would yield minimal gains in Doom, as the system is firmly GPU-limited at higher resolutions. The CPU is providing a stable, high-frequency platform, but the GPU's rendering capabilities are what ultimately dictate the final frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The following table details the exact measured average FPS for each resolution and settings preset. It shows a full sweep of performance, with minimum and maximum FPS provided for the Medium preset at each resolution.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 (4K) | | | | |

| | Ultra | 78 | - | - |

| | High | 95 | - | - |

| | Medium | 112 | 96 | 129 |

| | Low | 129 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 (1440p) | | | | |

| | Ultra | 143 | - | - |

| | High | 175 | - | - |

| | Medium | 208 | 176 | 239 |

| | Low | 238 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 (1080p) | | | | |

| | Ultra | 221 | - | - |

| | High | 271 | - | - |

| | Medium | 321 | 273 | 369 |

| | Low | 368 | - | - |

The data for the Medium preset is the most complete, showing the full range of frame times. At 1080p Medium, the system averages 321 FPS with a minimum of 273 and a maximum of 369. This indicates a stable frame pacing with no severe dips. At 1440p Medium, the average is 208 FPS, with a minimum of 176 and a maximum of 239. The variance in FPS is relatively consistent, suggesting smooth performance. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 112 FPS, with a minimum of 96 and a maximum of 129. The minimum FPS of 96 is still well above the 60 FPS threshold, ensuring a fluid experience even in demanding scenes.

Across all settings, the performance hierarchy is consistent: higher settings always result in lower FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is significant at every resolution. At 1080p, the difference is 147 FPS (368 vs 221), at 1440p it is 95 FPS (238 vs 143), and at 4K it is 51 FPS (129 vs 78). This demonstrates that the RTX 4070 Ti has ample headroom to push very high frame rates at lower presets, but it is the Ultra preset that truly tests its limits, especially at 4K where it delivers a solid but not extreme 78 FPS average.
