Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a robust 1080p gaming experience in Doom, with the data showing a clear scaling pattern from 4K to 1080p. The CPU, an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 part based on the Cezanne architecture, operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25,626. Its nearest rivals in synthetic testing include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (0.3% slower), Intel Xeon D-2752TER (0.4% faster), Intel Core 5 210H (0.5% faster), and AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (0.6% faster). For a game like Doom, which is known for its fast-paced action, the CPU’s single-thread performance is critical; its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,930 and Geekbench single-core score of 2,016 indicate solid responsiveness that supports high frame rates.

The CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities are also substantial, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,755 and a Passmark multithread score of 24,419. While Doom does not heavily tax all 16 threads, this headroom ensures consistent frame pacing and avoids bottlenecks when background tasks are running. The 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth further contribute to smooth data flow. However, at 4K resolution, the data shows that the CPU is less of a factor; the frame rates are primarily dictated by the GPU’s rendering limits. The measured results indicate that this processor is more than adequate for pushing high frame rates at lower resolutions, where the CPU’s IPC and clock speed become more relevant to the final output.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary driver of Doom’s performance, especially at higher resolutions. This Turing-architecture GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The GPU’s 2,560 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the game’s graphical load, while its 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores provide features that are not directly utilized in this title’s measured settings. The RTX 2070 SUPER sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22,206. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX A400 (0.5% slower), NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (0.9% faster), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (2.3% slower), and AMD Radeon RX 5700 (2.5% faster).

The measured frame rates illustrate the GPU’s scaling across settings. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 46.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a fast shooter. Dropping to 4K High raises the average to 53.5 FPS, while 4K Medium yields 65.3 FPS and 4K Low reaches 72.3 FPS. The GPU’s 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this title, as Doom does not exhibit memory-related stuttering at any tested setting. At 1440p, the RTX 2070 SUPER shows its strength, with Ultra averaging 82.6 FPS, High hitting 101.1 FPS, Medium reaching 119.8 FPS, and Low peaking at 135.8 FPS. The 1080p results are where this card truly shines, with Ultra at 127.4 FPS, High at 157.3 FPS, Medium at 182.4 FPS, and Low at 213 FPS. The data shows a consistent performance hierarchy across resolutions, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K but provides ample headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1440p and 1080p.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU and GPU combo in Doom?*

A: Based on the measured data, 1440p offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. At High settings, the combo averages 101.1 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while 4K High drops to 53.5 FPS and 1080p High reaches 157.3 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to its nearest rival, the RTX 4060 Mobile?

A: The desktop RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 22,206, which is 2.3% higher than the RTX 4060 Mobile’s score of 22,729, according to the deltaPct of -2.3% from the rival’s perspective. This indicates the 2070 SUPER holds a slight edge in overall compute performance.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 5700G’s single-thread performance sufficient for high FPS gaming?

A: Yes. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score is 2,930, and its 3dmark single-thread score is 899. These results support the high frame rates seen at 1080p, where the CPU’s speed is more critical; the data shows 213 FPS at 1080p Low settings.

*Q: Does the 8 GB VRAM on the RTX 2070 SUPER cause issues at 4K in Doom?*

A: The measured data does not indicate any VRAM-related problems. The combo achieves 46.2 FPS at 4K Ultra and 72.3 FPS at 4K Low, suggesting that performance scales predictably with settings rather than hitting a memory capacity wall.

Q: What is the CPU’s percentile ranking compared to all tested CPUs?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G ranks in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25,626. This places it ahead of the majority of processors in the database for general compute tasks.

Q: How does the GPU’s memory bandwidth affect performance?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER has a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This high bandwidth helps maintain consistent frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions like 1440p and 4K, where the game engine can stream large amounts of texture data.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1034 out of 1681 tested combos in Doom. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, which is consistent with the hardware’s generation. The CPU is a strong performer, ranking in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, but the GPU, while capable, only reaches the 65th percentile of all GPUs. This imbalance suggests that the graphics card is the limiting factor for this pairing, particularly at higher resolutions. The measured data confirms this, as the frame rates drop significantly from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the RTX 2070 SUPER is struggling to maintain high FPS at 4K Ultra (46.2 FPS) compared to 1080p Ultra (127.4 FPS).

The rank of 1034 out of 1681 means that there are 647 combos that perform better in this specific game. However, this ranking should be interpreted with context; Doom is a well-optimized title that runs efficiently on a wide range of hardware. The 5700G’s integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics are not utilized in this test, but the CPU’s strong multi-threaded scores (Cinebench R23 multi-core of 20,755) ensure that it does not bottleneck the GPU. The data shows that the combo is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it delivers frame rates that exceed typical monitor refresh rates. At 4K, the experience is playable but not optimal for competitive play, as the average FPS at Ultra settings is below the 60 FPS mark. Overall, the ranking reflects a system that is balanced for mainstream gaming, with the GPU being the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For the best overall experience, the data suggests using the High preset at 1440p resolution. This setting delivers an average frame rate of 101.1 FPS, which is smooth and responsive for a fast-paced FPS. The jump from High to Ultra at 1440p results in an 18.5 FPS drop (from 101.1 to 82.6 FPS), which may not be worth the visual gain for players who prioritize frame rate. At 1080p, the High preset is the recommended choice for high-refresh-rate monitors, as it averages 157.3 FPS, leaving substantial headroom for a 144Hz display. While the Low preset at 1080p reaches 213 FPS, the visual quality reduction is significant, and High offers a better balance of fidelity and speed.

For users with a 4K display, the Medium preset is the most viable option, providing an average of 65.3 FPS. While this is playable, it is below the 72.3 FPS achieved at Low settings and the 53.5 FPS at High. The Ultra preset at 4K should be avoided for competitive play, as the 46.2 FPS average will introduce noticeable input lag and stutter in fast action sequences. The data indicates that the sweet spot for this hardware is 1440p High, which offers a 61% performance increase over 4K High (from 53.5 to 101.1 FPS) while maintaining high visual quality. At 1080p, the Medium preset (182.4 FPS) is also a strong choice for those who want to maximize frame rates without dropping to the lowest settings. Ultimately, the measured results show that this combo excels at 1080p and 1440p, with the High preset providing the most consistent and enjoyable experience across both resolutions.
