CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, built on a 7 nm process. Its base clock runs at 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and it carries 16 MB of L3 cache distributed across the cores. This is a Cezanne-generation chip on the AMD Socket AM4 platform, with a 65 W TDP.

In Doom, the CPU's thread count and clock speed matter less than in heavily physics-driven titles, but the data still shows scaling. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo hits 230 FPS, indicating the CPU can feed the GPU well beyond typical refresh rates. The single-thread performance, measured at 899 in 3DMark single-thread and 1494 in Cinebench R23 single-core, is strong enough for the game's engine, which relies on a few primary threads for gameplay logic.

The 5700G's multi-threaded capability, shown by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12830.5 and a 3DMark max-threads score of 6627, ensures that background tasks or streaming don't bottleneck the frame delivery. In Doom, the CPU is rarely the limiting factor at lower resolutions — the GPU takes over as the primary constraint. The processor's average benchmark score of 27051 places it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with nearest rivals including the Intel Core i9-9900K (0.2% higher) and the Intel Core i5-14400T (0.4% lower). This means the 5700G offers comparable CPU-side performance to those chips, though Doom's optimization means the game's frame rates are far more dependent on the graphics card.

The CPU's 16 threads, combined with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, deliver consistent performance across the measured settings. At 2560x1440 with Medium settings, the combo maintains 130 FPS, and the minimum of 110 FPS suggests the CPU keeps frame pacing stable even when the GPU is under load. For a game like Doom, which is well-optimized for multi-core processors, the 5700G's 8 cores are sufficient to avoid CPU-induced stutters at any of the tested resolutions.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 22 chip, using a 7 nm process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Its base clock is 2321 MHz, with a game clock of 2424 MHz and a boost clock of 2581 MHz. Memory runs at 2000 MHz, effectively 16 Gbps.

In Doom, the GPU's memory capacity and bandwidth are more than adequate — the game at 4K Ultra uses less than 12 GB, so there's no VRAM pressure. The RX 6700 XT's compute throughput of 13.21 TFLOPS FP32 drives the engine's rendering, and the results show clear scaling with resolution. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 230 FPS, but at 3840x2160 with Ultra, it drops to 49 FPS. This indicates the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions, which is typical for a fast-paced FPS with heavy fill-rate demands.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 27425 places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (0.5% higher) and the RTX 4070 Mobile (0% difference), showing that the RX 6700 XT holds its own against much more expensive hardware in synthetic tests. In Doom specifically, the 12 GB VRAM ensures that even the most demanding texture settings don't cause frame drops due to memory swapping. The 64 ROPs handle pixel fill well, as evidenced by the 165.2 GPixel/s pixel rate, which supports the high frame rates seen at 1080p and 1440p.

The GPU's boost clock of 2581 MHz gives it a solid edge in lightly-threaded game workloads, where clock speed directly translates to frame rate. At 2560x1440 with High settings, the combo delivers 110 FPS, and even at 4K with Medium settings, it maintains 70 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS. The RX 6700 XT's performance in Doom is characterized by strong scaling from Low to Ultra settings at each resolution, though the jump from Medium to Ultra costs roughly 20-30% of the frame rate depending on resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the best experience for a 60 Hz 4K display is the Medium preset at 3840x2160, which delivers 70 FPS on average with a minimum of 60 FPS. This ensures no dropped frames below the refresh rate. The High preset at 4K comes close at 59 FPS, but the minimum frame rate is not reported, making Medium the safer choice for locked 60 FPS play.

For 1440p displays with a 144 Hz refresh rate, the High preset at 2560x1440 delivers 110 FPS, which is below 144 FPS but still smooth. The Low preset hits 149 FPS, and Medium sits at 130 FPS with a minimum of 110 FPS. If you want to maximize frame rate on a 144 Hz panel, Low settings are the way to go, as they exceed the refresh rate. For a 60 Hz 1440p monitor, Ultra at 90 FPS is more than sufficient, offering the best visual quality without any compromise.

At 1080p, the choice depends on your display's refresh rate. For a 240 Hz monitor, Low settings at 230 FPS is the only preset that fully saturates it. Medium at 200 FPS is close, but the High preset at 169 FPS and Ultra at 138 FPS fall short of 240 FPS. For a 144 Hz 1080p display, High at 169 FPS is ideal — it stays above 144 FPS with headroom. Ultra at 138 FPS is just below 144 FPS, so you'd either accept a slightly lower frame rate or drop to High for a consistent experience.

The data suggests that Medium settings offer the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate across all resolutions, with the minimum FPS closely tracking the average. For competitive play on high-refresh monitors, Low settings at 1080p or 1440p provide the highest frame rates, while Ultra is best reserved for 60 Hz displays or slower-paced exploration.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT ranks 1951 out of 3712 tested combos in the database for Doom. This places it in the 53rd percentile of all system configurations — essentially the middle of the pack. This ranking reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU, where neither component is a clear bottleneck for this game.

To contextualize this, the CPU's 79th percentile ranking among all processors is higher than the combo's overall rank, indicating the 5700G outperforms many CPUs in synthetic benchmarks. Similarly, the GPU's 72nd percentile is above the combo's rank. The gap suggests that Doom's performance is influenced by factors beyond raw component scores, such as driver optimization or memory bandwidth interplay between the two components.

The CPU's nearest rivals — the Intel Core i9-9900K (0.2% faster) and the Intel Core i5-14400T (0.4% slower) — have similar average benchmark scores, but the combo's rank in Doom could shift if paired with those CPUs. The GPU's nearest rivals, including the RTX 3090 (0.5% faster), show that the RX 6700 XT is competitive with high-end cards in general compute, yet the combo ranking suggests that in Doom, the GPU's performance is adequate but not exceptional.

Given the 3712 total combos, a rank of 1951 means there are roughly 1760 combinations that perform better in Doom, many of which likely feature higher-tier GPUs or CPUs. However, this combo is far from the bottom — it outperforms roughly 1760 other configurations, which is a solid position for a mid-range setup. The measured FPS data confirms that the combo delivers playable frame rates at all resolutions and settings, so the rank reflects the presence of more powerful combos rather than any deficiency in this pairing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K):

• Ultra: 49 FPS average
• High: 59 FPS average
• Medium: 70 FPS average, 60 FPS minimum, 81 FPS maximum
• Low: 81 FPS average

At 4K, the combo struggles with Ultra settings, dipping below 50 FPS. High is borderline at 59 FPS, while Medium provides a comfortable 70 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS. Low settings push to 81 FPS, but the visual trade-off is severe. The gap between Medium and Ultra is 21 FPS, indicating a steep scaling curve at this resolution.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Ultra: 90 FPS average
• High: 110 FPS average
• Medium: 130 FPS average, 110 FPS minimum, 149 FPS maximum
• Low: 149 FPS average

At 1440p, all settings are playable. Ultra maintains 90 FPS, High reaches 110 FPS, and Medium hits 130 FPS with a minimum of 110 FPS. Low tops out at 149 FPS. The scaling from Ultra to Low is 59 FPS, showing that the GPU has headroom at this resolution when settings are reduced.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Ultra: 138 FPS average
• High: 169 FPS average
• Medium: 200 FPS average, 170 FPS minimum, 230 FPS maximum
• Low: 230 FPS average

At 1080p, the combo excels. Low settings deliver 230 FPS, which is identical to the maximum FPS for Medium, suggesting the CPU or GPU hits a ceiling around that frame rate. Medium at 200 FPS is the sweet spot for high-refresh gaming, while High at 169 FPS and Ultra at 138 FPS remain smooth for most displays.

The data shows consistent performance scaling across resolutions, with the difference between Medium and Low narrowing as resolution decreases. At 1080p, the jump from Medium to Low is only 30 FPS, while at 4K, the same settings difference is just 11 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is more heavily taxed at higher resolutions, and the CPU becomes less relevant as pixel count increases. The minimum FPS values for Medium settings at each resolution — 60 FPS at 4K, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 170 FPS at 1080p — demonstrate that frame pacing remains stable across the board, with no severe dips below the average.
