CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and can boost up to 4.60 GHz. This configuration is well-suited for a game like Doom, which can leverage multiple threads for game logic and rendering tasks. The CPU’s 16 MB of L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which can be beneficial for frame pacing.

In the context of this benchmark, the CPU provides a strong platform that does not appear to bottleneck the GPU at lower resolutions. The data shows that at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 259.8 FPS. This high frame rate suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to maintain performance far above the 144 Hz refresh rate common in gaming monitors. The processor’s multi-threaded capabilities are reflected in its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 points, indicating a strong ability to handle concurrent workloads.

However, the CPU's role becomes less prominent as resolution increases. At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop significantly even at Low settings (91.3 FPS), which points to the GPU becoming the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 5700G's single-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2930, is more than adequate for the game's primary simulation thread. The data suggests that the CPU is a capable partner for the RX 7700 XT, providing enough headroom to avoid limiting performance in most scenarios tested, particularly at 1080p and 1440p.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT is the dominant component in this pairing, built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture. It features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is crucial for handling high-resolution textures and the demanding effects present in Doom. The GPU operates with a boost clock of 2544 MHz and a game clock of 2171 MHz, which are the primary drivers of its raw rendering throughput.

The GPU’s performance scaling is clearly visible across the measured resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, it produces an average of 160.4 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Ultra, the average drops to 101.3 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Ultra, it falls to 52.9 FPS. This pattern shows a clear and consistent decline as the pixel count increases, which is the expected behavior for a GPU-bound workload. The RX 7700 XT's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3316 points places it in a competitive position, with its average benchmark score of 30097 being nearly identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (30109).

The GPU’s 73rd percentile ranking indicates that it is a solid mid-to-high-end performer. Its ability to maintain an average of 68.7 FPS at 4K High settings suggests it can provide a playable experience at 4K with adjusted settings, but the 52.9 FPS at 4K Ultra shows its limits. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game's requirements at the tested settings, as no memory-related performance anomalies are present in the data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates show a clear scaling pattern across the three resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance. The Low preset achieves an average of 259.8 FPS, which is 29.8% higher than the Medium preset's 229.1 FPS. The High preset is close behind at 190.8 FPS, while the Ultra preset yields 160.4 FPS. This shows that even at the highest settings, the system is capable of driving high refresh rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but begins to show the increased GPU load. The Low preset averages 168.2 FPS, which is still excellent. The Medium preset drops to 147.1 FPS, and High follows at 124.5 FPS. The Ultra preset, at 101.3 FPS, is the only setting at this resolution that dips below the 144 FPS mark, but it still provides a very smooth experience for 100 Hz displays.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The Low preset averages 91.3 FPS, which is playable but not as fluid as lower resolutions. The Medium preset averages 82.1 FPS, and High drops to 68.7 FPS. The Ultra preset, at 52.9 FPS, is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS target for fluid gameplay. The data shows a consistent delta between settings at each resolution, with the gap between Low and Ultra being 99.4 FPS at 1080p, 66.9 FPS at 1440p, and 38.4 FPS at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT achieves a rank of 758 out of 1681 tested combos in this benchmark database. This places the system in the upper-middle tier of all configurations tested for Doom. The rank reflects the system's ability to deliver high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, while its performance at 4K Ultra pulls its overall standing down.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 83rd and the GPU's 73rd percentile are both respectable, but the combined rank of 758 suggests that other combinations with higher-tier CPUs or GPUs can achieve better overall scores in this game. The data shows that the system is more competitive at lower resolutions, where the CPU and GPU can both operate near their full potential. The significant drop in performance at 4K, particularly at Ultra settings, is the main factor preventing this combo from ranking higher. The system is a capable performer, but it is not at the top of the charts for this specific title.

Settings Recommendations

For players seeking the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset at 1920x1080 is the optimal choice, delivering an average of 259.8 FPS. This setting is ideal for competitive play on high refresh rate monitors (240 Hz or higher). If visual fidelity is more important, the High preset at 1920x1080 still provides an excellent average of 190.8 FPS, which is sufficient for most high refresh rate displays.

At 2560x1440, the High preset offers a balanced experience with an average of 124.5 FPS. This is a good target for 120 Hz monitors. For those with 144 Hz displays, the Medium preset at 147.1 FPS is a better fit, providing a smoother experience while still maintaining a high level of visual quality. The Ultra preset at this resolution is playable at 101.3 FPS, but it is not recommended for fast-paced action if frame rate consistency is a priority.

At 3840x2160, the data suggests that the High preset, with an average of 68.7 FPS, is the best compromise for a 60 Hz display. The Low preset provides a slight improvement at 91.3 FPS, but the visual downgrade may be noticeable. The Ultra preset at 52.9 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold and is not recommended for a consistently smooth experience. The Medium preset at 82.1 FPS is also a viable option, offering a middle ground between visual quality and performance.
