Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti combination delivers a robust performance profile in Doom, with the data showing a clear emphasis on high refresh rate 1080p gaming and capable 1440p performance. The benchmark results reveal a system that scales predictably across resolutions, with the 4K Ultra setting being the only configuration that drops below the 60 FPS threshold. This analysis examines how the components interact, where the bottlenecks appear, and what settings provide the most balanced experience.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, operating with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This Cezanne chip, built on a 7 nm process by TSMC, carries 16 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration. The processor’s multi-threaded capabilities are evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655, while its single-thread performance registers at 2916 in the same test.

In the context of Doom, a game from 2016, the CPU's 16 threads provide ample headroom for the game's engine. The processor sits at the 84th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27220. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores 27043, placing the Ryzen 7 5700 a marginal 0.7% ahead. This close competition suggests that the AMD chip’s 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for Doom’s computational demands, allowing the GPU to become the primary determinant of frame rates rather than the processor creating a bottleneck. The high boost clock of 4.60 GHz is particularly relevant for a title like Doom, which benefits from strong per-core performance alongside the multi-threading capabilities.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with the GA104 chip, manufactured on Samsung’s 8 nm process. It features 4864 shading units, 152 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation units, alongside 38 RT cores and 152 tensor cores. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its FP32 performance is rated at 16.20 TFLOPS.

The GPU’s percentile ranking against all GPUs is 69, with an average benchmark score of 25120. Direct comparisons show it essentially neck-and-neck with the AMD Radeon RX 6700M, which scores 25180, placing the RTX 3060 Ti a mere 0.2% behind. This proximity in performance indicates that the 3060 Ti is a solid mid-range contender.

For Doom, the data suggests that the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM is adequate across all tested settings, as frame rates scale consistently with resolution changes. The boost clock of 1665 MHz, combined with the high memory bandwidth, allows the card to push significant frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. However, at 4K Ultra settings, the GPU’s limits become apparent, with the average FPS dropping to 41.2, indicating that the card’s compute and memory resources are strained at the highest visual fidelity and resolution.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti ranks 1136 out of 1681 total tested combos for Doom. This places the pairing in the lower-middle tier of all possible configurations, which is somewhat surprising given the individual component scores. The CPU’s strong 84th percentile ranking and the GPU’s respectable 69th percentile ranking do not translate directly into a higher combined ranking.

The discrepancy suggests that the combination’s performance in Doom is heavily weighted toward the GPU’s capabilities, and while the CPU is powerful, it may not be the limiting factor. The rank of 1136 out of 1681 indicates that many other pairings, likely those with more powerful GPUs, achieve higher frame rates. The data implies that for users seeking top-tier performance in Doom, this combo provides a competent but not exceptional experience, focusing more on smooth 1080p play rather than pushing extreme frame rates at higher resolutions.

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

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at how this combo performs across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from a low of 119 on Ultra settings to a high of 194.6 on Low settings. The Medium preset produces 169.6 FPS, while High settings deliver 143.6 FPS. These numbers show that at 1080p, the system easily handles the highest refresh rate monitors, with even the Ultra preset staying well above 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, frame rates remain strong but show a clear step down. The Low preset achieves 122.8 FPS, Medium hits 109.5 FPS, High reaches 90.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 78.1 FPS. All four presets at 1440p remain above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this resolution is well within the combo’s comfort zone for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the performance gap becomes more pronounced. The Low preset delivers 70.1 FPS, Medium drops to 58.1 FPS, High falls to 48.1 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 41.2 FPS. Only the Low preset manages to stay above 60 FPS at 4K, while the other presets require a sacrifice in visual quality to maintain playable frame rates.

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

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important characteristics about the system’s bottleneck. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 119 at 1080p to 78.1 at 1440p, a reduction of approximately 34%, and then further to 41.2 at 4K, a 65% drop from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline as resolution increases is a classic indicator of GPU-bound performance.

For High settings, the scaling shows 143.6 FPS at 1080p, 90.8 FPS at 1440p (a 37% drop), and 48.1 FPS at 4K (a 66% drop). The consistent pattern across settings suggests that the RTX 3060 Ti is the limiting component. The CPU’s 16 threads and high boost clock are sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but as the pixel count increases, the GPU’s raw compute and memory bandwidth become the constraining factors.

The data demonstrates that the system is heavily GPU-limited in Doom. At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to allow the GPU to reach its maximum output, but at 4K, the GPU’s resources are fully saturated. This is a typical profile for a mid-range GPU paired with a capable CPU, where the processor is not the bottleneck but rather the graphics card determines the ceiling of performance.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured data provides clear guidance on which settings preset offers the best experience for different priorities. For players with a 1920x1080 monitor seeking the highest possible frame rates, the High preset at 143.6 FPS offers a strong balance between visual quality and performance, while the Ultra preset still delivers a very playable 119 FPS. The Medium preset at 169.6 FPS is an excellent choice for those with 165 Hz or higher refresh rate displays, sacrificing some visual fidelity for a significant frame rate boost.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 90.8 FPS provides a smooth experience that takes advantage of most 144 Hz monitors, while the Ultra preset at 78.1 FPS remains viable for gamers who prioritize visual detail over maximum refresh rate. The Low preset at 122.8 FPS is the only option that fully saturates a 144 Hz display at this resolution, making it the choice for competitive play.

For 3840x2160, the data strongly recommends the Low preset at 70.1 FPS, as it is the only setting that maintains an average frame rate above 60. The Medium preset at 58.1 FPS is borderline, and both High and Ultra fall below 50 FPS, making them less suitable for smooth gameplay. The overall recommendation is to use High settings at 1080p or 1440p for the best balance, or Low settings at 4K to maintain playability, as the data shows diminishing returns in visual quality versus frame rate at the higher preset levels.
