Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the Intel Arc B580 ranks 1312th out of 1681 tested combos in Doom, placing it in the lower third of the database. This position reflects a pairing where the CPU, while strong in general compute, does not boost the overall result. The combo’s standing is largely dictated by the GPU, which itself sits at the 66th percentile among all GPUs, and the CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs does not compensate for the graphics bottleneck. Benchmark results indicate that this is not a top-tier configuration for the game, but it is far from the bottom, offering a playable experience across most settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The 1312th rank out of 1681 combos places this system in the 22nd percentile of tested configurations for Doom. This is a modest result, and the data suggests the pairing is balanced toward the lower end of mid-range performance. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 25626 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which scores 25706, a delta of -0.3%. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER trails by a mere 0.4%, and the Intel Core 5 210H is 0.5% behind. This clustering shows the Ryzen 7 5700G is squarely in a competitive pack, but its individual strength does not translate into a high game rank because the Arc B580’s own score of 23021 is just 0.1% above the AMD Radeon 760M and 0.3% above the NVIDIA P106-100. The GeForce RTX 4060, a direct rival, scores 23181, outpacing the Arc B580 by -0.7%, meaning the Intel GPU is slightly behind a mainstream competitor. Consequently, the combo rank is a reflection of both components being adequate but not exceptional, with the game’s performance being limited by the GPU in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is the primary driver of frame rates in Doom, and its specifications are crucial to understanding the measured results. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is generous for a game from 2016, ensuring that texture-heavy scenes do not suffer from capacity or throughput limitations. The GPU’s boost clock is fixed at 2670 MHz, with no separate game clock listed, and this consistent frequency helps maintain predictable performance. The pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s are the theoretical limits, but the actual frame rates indicate that the GPU is not reaching those ceilings in Doom. The FP32 compute of 13.67 TFLOPS is moderate, and in a game like Doom, which favors raw rasterization, the GPU’s 2560 shading units and 80 ROPs are more relevant. The GPU’s benchmark percentile of 66 places it above average, but its nearest rivals, including the RTX 4060, are within a 1.3% delta, showing that the Arc B580 is not a performance outlier. In practice, the GPU’s role is to provide playable frame rates up to 1440p, but at 4K, the data shows it struggles to maintain high averages, indicating that the GPU’s compute and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors at that resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. At 1080p, the combo achieves an average of 182.2 FPS on Low settings, which is the highest recorded value. Moving to 1440p, the same settings yield 118.1 FPS, a drop of 35.2%. At 4K, the Low preset average falls to 62.9 FPS, which is a 65.5% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the limiting component, as the CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads are more than capable of handling the game’s logic at lower resolutions. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a 35.2% reduction in FPS, while the jump from 1440p to 4K results in a 46.8% drop, suggesting that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and fill rate are being saturated at higher pixel counts. For Ultra settings, the trend is similar but more pronounced: 109.4 FPS at 1080p, 73.8 FPS at 1440p, and 40.8 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest in the entire dataset, confirming that the Arc B580 cannot sustain high detail at that resolution. The data implies that for a smooth experience at 4K, the user must compromise on settings, while 1080p and 1440p offer more headroom.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, all presets exceed 100 FPS, with High averaging 134.4 FPS and Ultra at 109.4 FPS. For a 60 Hz display, even Ultra is sufficient, but for high-refresh-rate monitors, the High preset offers a 22.9% improvement over Ultra, making it the better choice for competitive play. At 1440p, the High preset delivers 89.4 FPS, which is close to the 90 FPS threshold, while Medium hits 103 FPS, providing a 15.2% advantage over High. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 73.8 FPS, which is still playable but not ideal for fast-paced action. For 1440p, Medium is the recommended preset, as it balances visual quality with a frame rate that comfortably exceeds 100 FPS. At 4K, the situation is more constrained: High averages 49.9 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target, while Medium achieves 54.9 FPS, still short but more acceptable. Low at 4K reaches 62.9 FPS, which is the only preset that hits a playable threshold. For 4K, the Low preset is the only viable option for smooth gameplay, as the higher presets fall below 55 FPS. The data suggests that the combo is best utilized at 1080p or 1440p, where it can maintain high frame rates without sacrificing too much visual fidelity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset yields 182.2 FPS, Medium produces 157.9 FPS, High averages 134.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 109.4 FPS. These numbers show a consistent 14-16% reduction in frame rate for each step up in settings, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the CPU’s single-thread score of 899 in 3DMark is sufficient for this game’s engine. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 118.1 FPS, a 35.2% drop from 1080p Low. Medium at 1440p hits 103 FPS, High averages 89.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 73.8 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 37.5%, which is slightly larger than the 39.8% delta at 1080p, suggesting that the GPU’s memory bandwidth is becoming a limiting factor. At 3840x2160, the results are significantly lower: Low averages 62.9 FPS, Medium 54.9 FPS, High 49.9 FPS, and Ultra 40.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 35.1%, which is smaller than at lower resolutions, indicating that the GPU is nearing its maximum throughput. The 4K High result of 49.9 FPS is just below the 50 FPS mark, while Ultra at 40.8 FPS is the worst-case scenario. These measurements show that the combo is capable of 60 FPS at 4K only with Low settings, and for higher presets, the user must accept frame rates in the 40-55 FPS range. Overall, the data confirms that the Arc B580’s 12 GB of memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the GPU’s compute and ROP throughput are insufficient for high-detail settings.
