Doom

Benchmark results for Doom pair the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER in a configuration that is clearly GPU-limited at higher resolutions. Measured frame rates fall sharply as resolution climbs from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 on every preset, and the combo's overall rank of 1042 out of 1681 tested combinations places it toward the lower part of the field. The CPU sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, and that mismatch is visible in the frame rate data.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS pattern makes the limiting component clear. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo produces 211.7 FPS; at 2560x1440 Low it produces 136.4 FPS; at 3840x2160 Low it produces 74.8 FPS. The Medium setting follows the same arc: 182.2 FPS, then 117.4 FPS, then 63.2 FPS. High starts at 157.1 FPS, drops to 99.9 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 55.8 FPS at 3840x2160. Ultra starts at 124.9 FPS, drops to 84.4 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 45.3 FPS at 3840x2160.

The consistency of the drop across all four presets is the key observation. The frame rate penalty appears at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra alike, which indicates that the rendering workload is scaling with pixel count. If the CPU were the primary bottleneck, changing resolution would have a much smaller effect on the average frame rate. Instead, the sharp reductions from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 point directly to the GPU as the component setting the ceiling.

How This Combo Ranks

Across all tested combinations in Doom, this pairing ranks 1042nd out of 1681. The CPU alone sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, so the combo's placement aligns more closely with the GPU's percentile than with the CPU's.

The Ryzen 5 9600X's average benchmark score is 28,246. That is 0.3% above the Intel Core i5-13490F's 28,173 and 0.3% above the AMD Ryzen 5 230's 28,164, while it is 0.4% below the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS's 28,369 and 0.5% below the Intel Core i5-14500T's 28,377. The RTX 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score is 22,206. That is 0.5% below the NVIDIA RTX A400's 22,307, 0.9% above the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z's 22,006, 2.3% below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile's 22,729, and 2.5% above the AMD Radeon RX 5700's 21,670.

These component-level comparisons show a CPU that is highly competitive with its nearest peers and a GPU that is also closely matched. The game's measured FPS, however, is constrained more by the graphics card, which is consistent with the lower GPU percentile and the strong resolution scaling seen in the measured rows.

FAQ

Q: Which component limits performance in Doom with this pairing?

A: The GPU is the limiting component. The CPU ranks in the 85th percentile while the GPU ranks in the 65th percentile, and the measured FPS drops from 211.7 at 1920x1080 Low to 74.8 at 3840x2160 Low, with similar drops on Medium, High, and Ultra.

A: Low averages 211.7 FPS, Medium averages 182.2 FPS, High averages 157.1 FPS, and Ultra averages 124.9 FPS.

Q: What are the measured 2560x1440 results?

A: Low averages 136.4 FPS, Medium averages 117.4 FPS, High averages 99.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 84.4 FPS.

Q: What are the measured 3840x2160 results?

A: Low averages 74.8 FPS, Medium averages 63.2 FPS, High averages 55.8 FPS, and Ultra averages 45.3 FPS.

Q: How close is this combo to its nearest rivals?

A: The CPU's average score is within 0.5% of its nearest rivals in either direction, and the GPU's average score is within 2.5% of its nearest rivals. The nearest CPU scores are 28,173, 28,164, 28,369, and 28,377, while the nearest GPU scores are 22,307, 22,006, 22,729, and 21,670.

Q: What does the combo's rank mean?

A: The rank of 1042 out of 1681 places it in the lower part of the tested field. The GPU's lower percentile relative to the CPU explains why the combined result does not match the CPU's strong individual standing.

Settings Recommendations

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset still averages 124.9 FPS, so the highest quality setting is usable without needing to drop to a lower preset. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 84.4 FPS and remains the strongest quality option, while High at 99.9 FPS offers more headroom if smoothness matters more than maximum quality.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes. Ultra averages 45.3 FPS and High averages 55.8 FPS, while Medium averages 63.2 FPS and Low averages 74.8 FPS. Medium is the recommended preset for 3840x2160: it delivers a higher average than High and Ultra, while Low offers the highest average for users who prioritize smoothness over visual quality. The measured rows do not point to one universal setting, but they show a clear tradeoff between quality and frame rate at each resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Its cache layout includes 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration at 89.6 GB/s, uses the AMD Socket AM5, and belongs to the Zen 5 Granite Ridge generation. Its launch MSRP was $279.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 3,603 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 25,525 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 1,513 in Cinebench R20 single-core, and 1,253 in 3dmark single-thread. The CPU's average benchmark score is 28,246 with an 85th percentile standing. In Doom, this single-thread performance allows the measured frame rate at 1920x1080 Low to reach 211.7 FPS, but the sharp drop at higher resolutions indicates the CPU is not the factor holding the combo back in this game.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER uses the Turing architecture, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus and 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth. Its base clock is 1605 MHz, its boost clock is 1770 MHz, and its memory is listed at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective. Its launch MSRP was 499 USD.

In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 18,169 in Passmark G3D and 7,557 in Passmark GPU compute, with an average benchmark score of 22,206 and a 65th percentile ranking. This GPU is the component whose performance correlates with the resolution scaling seen in Doom: the 3840x2160 Ultra result of 45.3 FPS and the 3840x2160 High result of 55.8 FPS are well below the 1920x1080 Ultra result of 124.9 FPS. The GPU's nearest rivals are close in average score, with values between 21,670 and 22,729, reinforcing that the RTX 2070 SUPER sits in the middle of the tested GPU field.
