Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER pairing delivers exceptional performance in Doom, with every tested configuration producing playable frame rates. The data shows that even the most demanding preset at 4K resolution achieves an average of 73.7 FPS, while lower settings at 1080p push well beyond 300 FPS. This combination of an 8-core/16-thread Zen 3 processor and an Ada Lovelace GPU creates a system that is clearly GPU-bound at higher resolutions but retains enough CPU headroom to feed the graphics card effectively at competitive settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured results indicate that High settings offer the most balanced experience across all three resolutions. At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers 89.4 FPS, which comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay while maintaining visual fidelity. The step up to Ultra at 4K drops performance to 73.7 FPS, a reduction of 17.6% compared to High, which may not justify the marginal visual gains in a fast-paced FPS title.

For users prioritizing maximum frame rates, Low settings produce extraordinary results: 344 FPS at 1920x1080, 228 FPS at 2560x1440, and 121 FPS at 3840x2160. These figures suggest that esports-oriented players with high-refresh-rate monitors (240Hz or above) will find Low settings optimal for competitive play. However, the jump from Low to Medium at 1080p only costs 38.7 FPS (from 344 to 305.3), making Medium a sensible middle ground for those seeking higher visual quality without sacrificing responsiveness.

The Ultra preset remains viable at 1440p and 1080p, with averages of 139.1 FPS and 209.1 FPS respectively. At 4K, however, Ultra's 73.7 FPS average places it in a territory where frame pacing might suffer during intense combat sequences. The data suggests that High at 2560x1440 (165.6 FPS) is the sweet spot for most users, combining excellent visual quality with frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of most 144Hz monitors. Meanwhile, Medium at 4K (105.1 FPS) provides a strong alternative for 4K display owners who want to stay well above 100 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock reaches 2475 MHz, and the card houses 7168 shading units alongside 224 texture mapping units and 80 raster output pipelines. These specifications directly influence the scaling pattern visible in the measured FPS data: the performance gap between Low and Ultra settings grows as resolution increases, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K.

At 1920x1080, the spread between Low (344 FPS) and Ultra (209.1 FPS) is 134.9 FPS, while at 3840x2160 the spread narrows to 47.3 FPS (121 vs 73.7). This compression at higher resolutions occurs because the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become increasingly saturated, reducing the relative impact of settings that primarily affect shader complexity. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 198.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 554.4 GTexel/s texture rate explain why even Ultra at 4K remains playable, though the card's 220W TDP suggests it operates near its thermal limits under sustained load.

The GPU's 84th percentile ranking among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576, places it slightly below the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (42653, deltaPct -0.2) and AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (42723, deltaPct -0.3). This positioning indicates that the 4070 SUPER is a top-tier consumer card, and its performance in Doom reflects that standing. The 12 GB VRAM capacity proves sufficient for all tested configurations, as no memory-related stuttering or texture pop-in is evident from the FPS data.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this CPU-GPU combination achieves a rank of 304 out of 1681 tested combos in Doom, placing it in the top 18.1% of all configurations. This ranking is impressive given that the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a 2021 processor with a 65W TDP, while the RTX 4070 SUPER is a 2024 GPU. The combination's percentile ranking (83rd for the CPU, 84th for the GPU) suggests that both components are well-matched for this title, with neither being a significant bottleneck.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 25626 places it near the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (25706, deltaPct -0.3), Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25532, deltaPct 0.4), and Intel Core 5 210H (25490, deltaPct 0.5). This tight clustering shows that the 5700G offers competitive processing power despite its integrated graphics and lower power envelope. The combo's 304th rank among 1681 configurations indicates that roughly 1 in 5 tested systems outperform it in Doom, but those systems likely feature newer CPUs with higher boost clocks or additional cache.

Considering that the RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest GPU rivals include professional-grade cards like the RTX A6000 and AMD Radeon Pro 580X, the fact that this consumer gaming combo ranks this highly is notable. The data suggests that the 5700G's 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide sufficient feeding for the GPU at 1080p and 1440p, though at 4K the CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface (versus the GPU's PCIe 4.0) may slightly constrain data transfer.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 344 FPS, which drops to 305.3 FPS at Medium (an 11.2% reduction), 258.1 FPS at High (a 25% reduction from Low), and 209.1 FPS at Ultra (a 39.2% reduction from Low). These numbers indicate that Doom's settings scale predictably at 1080p, with each tier costing roughly 40-50 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 228 FPS at Low, 196.9 FPS at Medium, 165.6 FPS at High, and 139.1 FPS at Ultra. The performance drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is 116 FPS (from 344 to 228), representing a 33.7% reduction. At Ultra settings, the drop is 70 FPS (from 209.1 to 139.1), a 33.5% reduction. This consistent scaling suggests that the GPU is handling the increased pixel count efficiently, with no sudden bottlenecks emerging.

At 3840x2160, the combo still delivers strong results: 121 FPS at Low, 105.1 FPS at Medium, 89.4 FPS at High, and 73.7 FPS at Ultra. The transition from 1440p to 4K at Low settings costs 107 FPS (from 228 to 121), a 46.9% reduction. Interestingly, the percentage drop increases with settings: Medium loses 91.8 FPS (46.6%), High loses 76.2 FPS (46.0%), and Ultra loses 65.4 FPS (47.0%). This near-uniform scaling indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER's memory bandwidth and compute resources are being utilized proportionally across the resolution spectrum.
