Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and AMD Radeon RX 9070 combination delivers a decisive performance tier in Doom, anchored by a GPU that consistently dictates the frame rate across all tested settings. The data shows a system capable of exceptional 1080p and 1440p play, with 4K remaining viable depending on the preset chosen.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G brings 8 cores and 16 threads to the test bench, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. As a Zen 3 part on the Cezanne architecture, its processing power is substantial, yet in this specific Doom configuration, the CPU’s role is secondary to the graphics card. The benchmark results demonstrate this hierarchy clearly: the frame rates scale dramatically with resolution and graphical settings, which are GPU-bound variables, rather than showing the consistency typical of a CPU-limited scenario.

Examining the CPU’s synthetic performance, its multithreaded capabilities are strong, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 and a Geekbench multicore score of 8970. However, the game’s engine, while capable of using multiple threads, does not appear to stress the 5700G to its limits in this pairing. The CPU’s single-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2930 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3283, is more than adequate for the game's logic and draw-call processing. In this context, the 5700G acts as a stable foundation that allows the RX 9070 to operate without introducing a bottleneck, but the evidence points to the GPU as the primary driver of the measured performance differences.

The GPU, however, sits in the 79th percentile with an average benchmark score of 34780, placing it ahead of a majority of the competition. The combined rank of 567 out of 1681 suggests that while the CPU is a solid mid-range performer, the pairing’s high placement is largely attributable to the RX 9070’s ability to push high frame rates in Doom.

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

The measured frame rates reveal a clear and expected pattern of performance scaling from 1080p to 4K, which confirms the GPU as the limiting component. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 294.5 FPS. This figure drops to 194.2 FPS at 1440p and further to 102.9 FPS at 4K. This steep decline as resolution increases is a hallmark of GPU-bound performance; the CPU is capable of feeding the graphics card with data, but the GPU’s rendering workload grows exponentially with pixel count.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly telling. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 142.4 FPS at 1440p to 76 FPS at 4K, a reduction of approximately 47%. This is a substantial drop that cannot be attributed to CPU limitations, as the CPU’s workload remains relatively constant across resolutions. Instead, it points directly to the RX 9070’s fill rate and shading capacity being saturated by the 4K resolution. The data suggests that for the highest refresh rate monitors, 1080p and 1440p are the sweet spots, while 4K demands a compromise on settings to maintain fluid gameplay.

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

Based on the measured FPS values, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution. For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear choice for the best experience, delivering an average of 176.2 FPS. While the High preset offers 216.5 FPS and Medium offers 260.4 FPS, the visual fidelity gains from Ultra are significant, and the frame rate remains far above any competitive threshold. The Low preset at 294.5 FPS offers no practical benefit over Ultra for most users, as the frame rate is already so high.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the recommended setting based on the data. It produces an average of 142.4 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate gaming. The Ultra preset drops to 116.8 FPS, which is still playable but sacrifices some smoothness for marginal visual gains. The Medium preset at 167.8 FPS is an alternative for those seeking maximum smoothness, but High provides the best balance of image quality and performance. For 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the most sensible choice, yielding 88.6 FPS. The High preset at 76 FPS is also viable, but Medium offers a more comfortable margin above 60 FPS, ensuring consistent gameplay without dipping into lower frame rates. The Ultra preset at 60.5 FPS is borderline and should be avoided for a consistently smooth experience.

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

The measured FPS data is comprehensive, covering three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 294.5 FPS on Low, 260.4 FPS on Medium, 216.5 FPS on High, and 176.2 FPS on Ultra. These figures show a clear step-down in performance as graphical fidelity increases, but all settings deliver frame rates that are exceptionally high and suitable for any display.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 194.2 FPS on Low, 167.8 FPS on Medium, 142.4 FPS on High, and 116.8 FPS on Ultra. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a performance hit of approximately 34% on High settings, from 216.5 FPS to 142.4 FPS, which is a substantial but expected reduction given the increased pixel count. The system remains highly capable at this resolution across all presets.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 102.9 FPS on Low, 88.6 FPS on Medium, 76 FPS on High, and 60.5 FPS on Ultra. This resolution is the most demanding, and the data shows a significant drop from 1440p. The difference between Low and Ultra settings at 4K is 42.4 FPS, highlighting the GPU’s sensitivity to the increased shading and texture work required by higher presets. While the frame rates are lower, the system still manages to stay above 60 FPS for all settings except Ultra, which lands precisely at 60.5 FPS. This breakdown confirms the RX 9070’s strength at 1440p and its capability at 4K, with the understanding that settings must be tuned to achieve the desired frame rate targets.
