Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a formidable Doom experience, securing the 311th position out of 1681 tested combinations. This places the combo in the top 18.5% of all tested configurations, a strong result that underscores the balance between the Zen 2 CPU and the Ada Lovelace GPU. The data shows a system that is clearly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the 3700X’s 8-core, 16-thread architecture provides ample headroom to keep frame rates exceptionally high at 1080p. The overall percentile rankings reinforce this: the CPU sits in the 85th percentile against all processors, while the GPU ranks in the 86th percentile against all graphics cards, indicating both components perform near the top of their respective classes.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame of 311 out of 1681 is a decisive indicator of elite-tier performance for this title. This ranking places the configuration ahead of roughly 81.5% of all tested combinations, a feat that is particularly impressive given the age of the Ryzen 7 3700X. The CPU’s standing among its nearest rivals is remarkably tight; the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT is only 0.1% ahead, while the Intel Core i5-12600 and i5-12600H trail by a mere 0.1%. This clustering of scores suggests that in Doom, the CPU is not the bottleneck, as even a 0.2% difference from the AMD EPYC 7203P is negligible for gameplay. The GPU, meanwhile, sits in a similar competitive bracket, with the NVIDIA RTX A2000 trailing by 1.6% and the Intel Arc A550M leading by 2.1%, confirming that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a top-tier performer that boosts this combo’s standing.

Benchmark results indicate that the synergy between the 3700X and the 4070 Ti SUPER is exceptional for this specific workload. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 28631 is nearly identical to that of the Intel Core i5-12600 at 28654, yet the real-world Doom results show the combo outperforming expectations, suggesting the GPU’s massive compute resources are being fully utilized. The data implies that this pairing is not merely about raw component power but about effective cooperation; the 3700X’s 32 MB of L3 cache and 16 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU’s 8448 shading units without creating a significant pipeline stall. This is why the combo achieves a rank that many newer, more expensive CPUs might struggle to match when paired with lesser graphics cards.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER plays the dominant role in this configuration, and its specifications explain the high frame rates observed. With 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, the card provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for Doom’s texture-heavy environments at any resolution. The GPU’s boost clock of 2610 MHz, combined with 66 RT cores and 264 Tensor cores, allows for substantial headroom even when the game’s Ultra settings demand heavy shader work. The data shows the GPU’s percentile ranking at 86, which aligns with its ability to push 96.8 FPS at 4K High settings, a figure that would be impossible for lower-tier cards.

The card’s compute capabilities, measured at 44.10 TFLOPS for FP32, directly correlate with the measured FPS deltas across settings. At 1080p, the GPU is so powerful that even Ultra settings produce 222.4 FPS, while Low settings hit 279 FPS, indicating the card is not the limiting factor at this resolution. However, at 1440p and 4K, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced. The transition from 1440p High (176 FPS) to 4K High (96.8 FPS) shows a 45% performance drop, which is a direct consequence of the GPU’s pixel throughput limits. The memory clock of 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) ensures that the 16 GB frame buffer is never starved, allowing the card to maintain stable frame pacing even when the game engine demands rapid texture streaming.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern that highlights the GPU as the primary performance driver. At 1080p, the combo is effectively CPU-limited at Low settings, with 279 FPS, but the gap between settings is narrow: from Low to Ultra, the drop is only 20.3% (279 to 222.4 FPS). This suggests the CPU is keeping pace with the GPU’s output, and the game is not fully taxing the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s capabilities. Moving to 1440p, the scaling becomes more pronounced, with Ultra settings yielding 145.3 FPS versus 238.8 FPS at Low, a 39.1% reduction. This indicates the GPU is now the central constraint, as the increased pixel count demands more from the shading units and ROPs.

At 4K, the trend accelerates dramatically. High settings produce 96.8 FPS, while Low settings hit 130.8 FPS, a 26% difference, but the real story is the Ultra setting, which falls to 76.2 FPS. The jump from 1440p Ultra (145.3 FPS) to 4K Ultra (76.2 FPS) represents a 47.5% drop, which is consistent with the 2.25x increase in pixel count from 1440p to 4K (3,686,400 to 8,294,400 pixels). This scaling confirms that the GPU’s 96 ROPs and 250.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are the ultimate limiters at 4K, while the CPU’s role diminishes. The data suggests that for competitive play, 1080p or 1440p is optimal, while 4K Ultra is only viable for slower-paced, visually driven sessions.
