GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the primary driver of frame rates in Doom, and its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is sufficient for the game's textures and geometry at all tested settings, as evidenced by the consistent scaling from Low to Ultra presets. The GPU's 3072 shading units and 48 ROPs work with a boost clock of 2460 MHz to deliver the raw pixel throughput that Doom's fast-paced rendering demands.

The RTX 4060's architecture, Ada Lovelace, includes 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores, though Doom (released in 2016) does not utilize ray tracing or DLSS in these measurements. The 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the theoretical ceiling for compute, but the game's workload is more dependent on texture rate (236.2 GTexel/s) and pixel rate (118.1 GPixel/s), both of which are strong for a card with a 115 W TDP. The data shows that the GPU's performance is the bottleneck at 4K, where even the Medium preset only averages 70 FPS, while Low manages 80 FPS.

At 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to push beyond 200 FPS at Low (228 FPS) and nearly 200 at Medium (198 FPS), indicating that the card is not fully saturated at lower resolutions. The measured results show a clear GPU-bound scenario at 4K, as the FPS differences between presets narrow compared to lower resolutions. For instance, the gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 32 FPS (80 vs 48), while at 1080p the gap is 91 FPS (228 vs 137), suggesting that at higher resolutions the GPU's compute and memory resources are the limiting factor, not the game's settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the RTX 4060 handles increasing pixel counts. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 167 at 1920x1080 to 108 at 2560x1440, a 35% reduction, and then to 59 at 3840x2160, a further 45% reduction. This pattern is consistent across all presets: the drop from 1440p to 4K is always steeper than from 1080p to 1440p, which is typical for a GPU with 8 GB of VRAM and a 128-bit memory interface.

The scaling ratio between resolutions is nearly linear in terms of pixel count. Moving from 1080p to 1440p increases pixels by 78%, yet the FPS drops by only 35% at High settings, indicating that the GPU has some overhead at 1080p. However, moving from 1440p to 4K increases pixels by 125%, and the FPS drops by 45%, which shows the card is becoming more strained. The Low preset at 4K still manages 80 FPS, which suggests that the GPU's raw pixel throughput is adequate for the game even at 4K, but the higher presets demand more memory bandwidth and shading power than the card can deliver.

The data implies that the RTX 4060 is capable of 4K gaming in Doom only at lower settings, and even then it does not hit 60 FPS at Medium (70 FPS) or Ultra (48 FPS). The 1440p resolution is the sweet spot for this combo, where all presets exceed 89 FPS (Ultra), and the Medium preset hits 128 FPS with a minimum of 109 FPS. At 1080p, the card is clearly not the limiting factor, as even Low settings produce 228 FPS, which is well beyond most display refresh rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 2001 out of 3712 tested combos in Doom, placing it in the 54th percentile. This is a mid-pack ranking, suggesting that while the combo performs adequately, there are many faster configurations. The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU, where the RTX 4060's 61st percentile GPU score outpaces the CPU's 79th percentile, but the game's engine seems to benefit more from GPU throughput than CPU speed.

Given that Doom is a 2016 title with a well-optimized Vulkan engine, the rank suggests that the RTX 4060 is the limiting factor, as its 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance is modest by modern standards. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads at a boost clock of 4.60 GHz provide ample processing power, but the combo's rank of 2001 indicates that other combinations with stronger GPUs would achieve higher frame rates. The data implies that this pairing is better suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the GPU's strengths are utilized without hitting the 4K wall.

The nearest rival GPUs in the database, such as the AMD Radeon 780M (0.3% higher score), suggest that the RTX 4060's performance is closely matched by integrated graphics, which is surprising given the dedicated card's 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth. However, in Doom, the RTX 4060's measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (137 FPS) demonstrates that it can handle the game's demands, and the combo's rank reflects the overall system balance rather than just the GPU's raw score.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the combo produces an average of 59 FPS at High, 70 FPS at Medium (with a min of 59 and max of 80), 80 FPS at Low, and 48 FPS at Ultra. These numbers show that the GPU struggles to maintain 60 FPS at 4K on higher presets, with only Low settings providing a comfortable margin. The Medium preset's min FPS of 59 is notably close to the average, indicating some frame-time consistency issues, while the max of 80 FPS shows there is headroom in less demanding scenes.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS improves significantly: 89 at Ultra, 108 at High, 128 at Medium (min 109, max 148), and 147 at Low. All presets exceed 60 FPS, with the Medium preset offering a strong balance of visual quality and performance. The gap between Low and Ultra is 58 FPS, showing that the GPU is less bottlenecked at this resolution, and the min FPS of 109 at Medium suggests smooth gameplay even in intense moments.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 137 FPS at Ultra, 167 at High, 198 at Medium (min 168, max 228), and 228 at Low. These are excellent numbers for a 2016 FPS, with even the most demanding preset clearing 120 FPS. The Low preset's 228 FPS is the highest recorded in the entire dataset, indicating that the CPU and GPU are capable of extreme frame rates when settings are reduced. The Medium preset's min FPS of 168 is above the 144 Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for high-refresh monitors.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset at 2560x1440 offers the best experience, with an average of 128 FPS and a minimum of 109 FPS. This preset provides a 45% increase over Ultra (89 FPS) while maintaining a minimum FPS that stays above 100, which is crucial for smooth gameplay in a fast-paced shooter like Doom. The min FPS of 109 ensures that there are no significant frame drops, even during intense combat sequences.

At 1920x1080, the Medium preset is also recommended, delivering 198 FPS average with a min of 168 FPS. This is more than sufficient for any 144 Hz or 240 Hz display, and the 30 FPS gain over High (167 FPS) is noticeable without sacrificing much visual quality. For players prioritizing visual fidelity, Ultra at 1080p (137 FPS) is still viable, but the data shows that Medium offers the best performance-to-quality ratio.

For 4K gaming, the Low preset (80 FPS) is the only option that consistently exceeds 60 FPS, but the Medium preset's 70 FPS average with a 59 FPS min is borderline. Given that the game is from 2016, the visual difference between Medium and High at 4K may be less critical, but the measured data suggests that Medium is the highest playable setting. The Ultra preset at 4K (48 FPS) is not recommended, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold that is generally considered necessary for smooth gameplay.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides a solid foundation for Doom's CPU demands. The processor's Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz, delivers strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 899 and cinebench_r23_singlecore score of 1494. Doom is known for being well-optimized across multiple threads, and the CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache is sufficient for the game's data streams.

The CPU's benchmark results show a 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27051. This places it just 0.2% behind the Intel Core i9-9900K and 0.4% above the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, indicating that it competes well with older high-end desktop processors. The passmark_multithread score of 24419 and passmark_single_thread score of 3283 further confirm that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data at all resolutions.

In the context of Doom, the CPU is likely not the bottleneck, as the FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a GPU-bound scenario. At 1080p, the CPU's 16 threads can handle the game's simulation and AI, allowing the GPU to push 228 FPS at Low settings. The data implies that the 5700G's integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, which is not used in this configuration, is irrelevant, but the CPU's processing power is more than adequate for the game. The measured results show that even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, the CPU still maintains an average of 48 FPS, suggesting that there is no CPU-induced frame pacing issues.
