Doom

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti delivers exceptional performance in Doom, positioning this combination in the top 12.4% of all tested configurations. With frame rates ranging from 78 FPS at 4K Ultra to 368 FPS at 1080p Low, the data reveals a system capable of handling the game’s demanding Vulkan-based engine with significant headroom across all settings and resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For a balance of visual fidelity and performance, the High preset is the optimal choice at every resolution tested. At 1920x1080, High delivers 271 FPS, which is 50 FPS above the Ultra preset’s 221 FPS while providing only a marginal visual difference over the lower tiers. At 2560x1440, High produces 175 FPS, comfortably exceeding the 143 FPS of Ultra while maintaining a smooth experience on high-refresh-rate monitors. Even at 3840x2160, High holds 95 FPS, which remains playable and is 17 FPS faster than Ultra’s 78 FPS.

The Medium preset offers a compelling middle ground for users prioritizing frame rates over graphical detail. At 1080p, Medium reaches 321 FPS, which is 50 FPS higher than High and only 47 FPS below Low’s 368 FPS. At 1440p, Medium achieves 208 FPS, a 33 FPS improvement over High. At 4K, Medium hits 112 FPS with a minimum of 96 FPS, making it the only 4K preset that guarantees a frame rate above 90 FPS at all times.

Low settings are unnecessary for this hardware combination at 1080p and 1440p, as the performance gains over Medium are modest relative to the visual cost. However, at 4K, Low’s 129 FPS represents a 17 FPS advantage over Medium, which may appeal to competitive players using high-refresh 4K displays. The Ultra preset is the least recommended option; while it provides the maximum visual quality, the 4K result of 78 FPS approaches the threshold where motion smoothness degrades, and the 1080p and 1440p scores of 221 FPS and 143 FPS, respectively, show diminishing returns against lower presets.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Doom’s texture-heavy environments at all tested settings. The data shows no memory-related bottlenecks, as even the 4K Ultra preset, which would place the highest demand on VRAM, maintains a playable 78 FPS average. The GPU’s Ada Lovelace architecture, built on TSMC’s 5 nm process, operates at a base clock of 2310 MHz and boosts to 2610 MHz, delivering 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

The measured frame rates scale predictably with the GPU’s capabilities. The PassMark G3D score of 31624 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5024 indicate strong raw rasterization performance that aligns with the observed results. The GPU’s 80 ROPs and 240 TMUs provide a pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s, which are more than adequate for Doom’s dynamic lighting and particle effects. The card’s 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms its high-end positioning, though the nearestRivals data shows it closely matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (0.8% ahead) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (1.3% ahead) in aggregate benchmark scores.

At 4K resolution, the GPU becomes the primary performance determinant, as evidenced by the 17 FPS drop from Medium to High (112 FPS to 95 FPS) and the further 17 FPS drop from High to Ultra (95 FPS to 78 FPS). These stepwise reductions demonstrate that the RTX 4070 Ti’s compute resources are fully utilized at 3840x2160, with each settings tier directly translating to measurable frame rate changes. The 129 FPS result at 4K Low versus 112 FPS at Medium indicates a 13% performance headroom when reducing graphical loads, suggesting the GPU has additional capacity that higher settings consume.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F contributes a 6-core, 12-thread configuration based on Zen 4 architecture with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The processor’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provide the data throughput necessary to feed the RTX 4070 Ti at high frame rates. The 65W TDP indicates efficient power delivery, though the performance data shows the CPU is not a limiting factor in this configuration.

At 1080p, where CPU overhead typically becomes more pronounced, the frame rates scale dramatically with settings: 368 FPS at Low, 321 FPS at Medium, 271 FPS at High, and 221 FPS at Ultra. The 147 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p suggests the CPU can generate frame data quickly enough to avoid bottlenecking the GPU, as even the lowest preset exceeds 350 FPS, which would stress most CPUs. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22799 and single-core score of 3218 indicate strong per-thread performance, which is critical for Doom’s main thread workload.

The processor’s 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24964, places it slightly ahead of the Intel Core i7-11850H (0.1% delta) and Intel Core i7-13620H (0.2% delta), while trailing the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F by 0.2%. In gaming-specific scenarios, the Ryzen 5 7500F’s 5.00 GHz boost clock provides the single-thread speed that Doom’s engine leverages, and the 3DMark single-thread score of 974 confirms this capability. The data shows no evidence of CPU-induced frame drops, as the minimum FPS values recorded at Medium settings (273 FPS at 1080p, 176 FPS at 1440p, 96 FPS at 4K) remain high across all resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Ryzen 5 7500F and RTX 4070 Ti ranks 461st out of 3712 tested combos in Doom, placing it in the top 12.4% of all systems. This ranking reflects the synergistic balance between the CPU’s strong single-thread performance and the GPU’s high-end rasterization capabilities. The 3712 total combos include a wide range of hardware pairings, and this configuration’s position in the upper percentile indicates it outperforms the vast majority of alternatives.

The gap between this combo and higher-ranked configurations is likely driven by GPU performance, as the RTX 4070 Ti’s 84th percentile GPU ranking is higher than the CPU’s 77th percentile ranking. This suggests that upgrading the processor would yield diminishing returns in Doom, while a more powerful GPU would provide more substantial frame rate improvements, particularly at 4K Ultra where the current setup reaches 78 FPS. The combo’s performance is more consistent with the GPU’s capabilities than the CPU’s, as evidenced by the 4K results that scale with GPU-bound workloads.

Compared to the nearest rival GPUs in aggregate benchmarks, the RTX 4070 Ti sits within 1.7% of the Intel Arc A730M and 1.6% of the NVIDIA RTX A6000, yet the actual Doom results show the card delivering over 200 FPS at 1080p High. This indicates that Doom’s optimization favors the RTX 4070 Ti’s architecture, and the combo ranking likely benefits from this game-specific advantage. For users considering this pairing, the data suggests it is a well-matched system for Doom, with neither component consistently bottlenecking the other across the tested settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a consistent pattern of GPU-bound scaling. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 271 at 1080p to 175 at 1440p (a 35% reduction) and further to 95 at 4K (a 65% reduction from 1080p). This scaling is steeper than the pixel count increase would suggest, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti’s memory bandwidth and compute resources are increasingly saturated as resolution rises.

At Low settings, the scaling shows 368 FPS at 1080p, 238 FPS at 1440p, and 129 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop of 35% is less severe than the 1440p to 4K drop of 46%, suggesting that at lower settings, the CPU may begin to exert some influence at 1080p, while the GPU dominates at higher resolutions. The Medium preset follows a similar trajectory: 321 FPS at 1080p, 208 FPS at 1440p, and 112 FPS at 4K, with each step representing a 35% reduction.

The Ultra preset shows the most significant scaling, with 221 FPS at 1080p dropping to 143 FPS at 1440p and then to 78 FPS at 4K. The 4K result is only 35% of the 1080p frame rate, which is the largest relative drop across all settings. This indicates that Ultra settings at 4K place extreme demands on the GPU, and the 78 FPS result is the only test point that falls below the 90 FPS threshold commonly associated with smooth gameplay.

The data clearly shows that the GPU is the limiting component at 1440p and 4K, as the CPU’s performance headroom at 1080p (evidenced by 368 FPS at Low) is not the bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the CPU’s role becomes more significant, but the Ryzen 5 7500F’s strong single-thread performance keeps frame rates above 220 FPS even at Ultra, ensuring that the GPU remains the primary determinant of performance across all resolutions.
