# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for Doom. Built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process at TSMC, the GPU contains 35,800 million transistors across a 294 mm² die. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory operates at 21 Gbps effective, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth across a 192-bit interface. This memory configuration proves ample for Doom's needs at all tested resolutions, as even the highest settings at 4K do not appear to hit a VRAM ceiling.

The GPU's clock behavior is noteworthy. With a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, the card maintains substantial headroom under load. The shading units number 7,168, paired with 224 texture mapping units and 80 raster output pipelines. Compute throughput reaches 35.48 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 operations, indicating a balanced design that handles both rasterization and compute-heavy workloads effectively.

In Doom specifically, the GPU's performance scaling follows a predictable pattern. At 3840x2160, dropping from High to Low settings yields a jump from 91.6 FPS to 119.7 FPS, a 30.7% improvement. The gap between Medium (105 FPS) and Ultra (75.2 FPS) is even more pronounced, with Ultra representing a 28.4% reduction from Medium. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU's shading and memory subsystems.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it solidly in the upper tier. Its average benchmark score of 42,576 sits within 0.2% of the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (42,653) and 0.3% of the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (42,723), while outpacing the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 1.4% (41,991) and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 1.6% (41,897). This narrow band of scores indicates that the card competes at a professional-grade level despite its consumer positioning.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F provides the processing foundation for this combo. As a 7000-series chip built on Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael), it features 6 cores and 12 threads operating at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The 65 W TDP keeps thermal demands modest, while the 5 nm process from TSMC houses 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die.

The cache hierarchy is generous for a mainstream desktop CPU: 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB of L3 cache. Memory support includes dual-channel DDR5 with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth and ECC capability. The PCIe Gen 5 interface with 24 lanes (CPU only) ensures the GPU has ample bandwidth for data transfer.

In Doom, the CPU's influence is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU is less likely to be the bottleneck. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Medium settings is 44 FPS (346.5 vs 302.5), while the gap between Medium and High is 47.1 FPS. These substantial differences indicate that at 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance plays a meaningful role in driving frame rates upward.

Benchmark results show the CPU's single-thread strength. The 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,218 demonstrate solid IPC. Multi-threaded performance is equally capable, with Cinebench R23 multicore reaching 22,799 and Geekbench multicore at 12,686. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs reflects its position as a strong mid-range option.

The nearest rival scores reinforce this assessment. The Ryzen 5 7500F's average of 24,993 is virtually tied with the Intel Core i7-11850H (24,974, +0.1%) and AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (25,057, -0.3%). The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F (25,064, -0.3%) and AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (24,897, +0.4%) round out a tight cluster. This indicates that while the CPU is not class-leading, it provides consistent, predictable performance that pairs well with the GPU.

# How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7500F and RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a rank of 306 out of 1,681 tested combos in Doom. This places the system in the top 18.2% of all configurations tested, a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with an upper-mid-range GPU.

The ranking reflects a balanced pairing. The GPU's 84th percentile standing and the CPU's 82nd percentile standing are closely matched, suggesting neither component significantly bottlenecks the other in this workload. This equilibrium is visible in the measured frame rates across resolutions. At 2560x1440, the system delivers 164.5 FPS on High settings, which drops to 136.2 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the same settings yield 91.6 FPS and 75.2 FPS respectively. The consistent scaling from 1080p to 4K indicates that the system scales predictably as resolution increases, without hitting a sudden wall.

Compared to the broader field of 1,681 combos, the 306th position represents a system that handles Doom with substantial headroom. The frame rates at every resolution exceed the 60 FPS threshold, and even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K maintains 75.2 FPS. This suggests that the combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate displays at 1440p and solid 4K performance at high settings.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce 346.5 FPS, Medium yields 302.5 FPS, High achieves 255.4 FPS, and Ultra maintains 210.5 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 136 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset's additional effects cost roughly 39% of the Low-settings frame rate.

At 2560x1440, performance remains robust. Low settings deliver 227.4 FPS, Medium drops to 196.8 FPS, High reaches 164.5 FPS, and Ultra settles at 136.2 FPS. The resolution jump from 1080p to 1440p costs approximately 34% of frame rate at each settings level, consistent with the 2.25x pixel count increase.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable frame rates. Low settings produce 119.7 FPS, Medium hits 105 FPS, High achieves 91.6 FPS, and Ultra dips to 75.2 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K incurs a further 47-48% reduction in frame rates, again matching the pixel count scaling.

The settings scaling at each resolution follows a consistent pattern. The difference between Medium and High is roughly 10-15 FPS at 4K, 32-33 FPS at 1440p, and 47 FPS at 1080p. The gap between High and Ultra is larger: 16.4 FPS at 4K, 28.3 FPS at 1440p, and 44.9 FPS at 1080p. This suggests the Ultra preset's marginal visual improvements come at a significant performance cost across all resolutions.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the High preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. At 1440p, High settings deliver 164.5 FPS, well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate monitors while maintaining substantial visual quality. At 4K, High settings produce 91.6 FPS, comfortably exceeding the 60 FPS standard for smooth gameplay.

For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p yields 346.5 FPS, which is suitable for competitive play on 360 Hz displays. The Medium preset at 1440p provides 196.8 FPS, which serves as a strong middle ground between visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset, while offering the highest visual quality, drops to 75.2 FPS at 4K and 136.2 FPS at 1440p. These figures remain playable, but the performance cost relative to High is substantial.

The data suggests that High settings at 1440p is the optimal configuration for this combo. It provides a 28.3 FPS advantage over Ultra while maintaining a 164.5 FPS average, which exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. For 4K users, High settings at 91.6 FPS is the recommended choice, as it avoids the notable frame rate drop to 75.2 FPS that Ultra incurs while still delivering a high-quality visual experience.
