CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark results show strong multi-threaded capability, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 and a Passmark multi-thread score of 24419. This CPU’s performance percentile of 83 among all CPUs confirms it as a solid mid-to-high-end part, though its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (0.3% lower) and the Intel Core 5 210H (0.5% higher), showing it sits in a competitive performance band.

In Doom, the CPU’s role becomes apparent when examining the 1080p results. At 1920x1080, the frame rates range from 268.5 FPS at Ultra to 345.4 FPS at Low. The 22.3% difference between these two settings at the same resolution indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is handling a significant portion of the workload, as the GPU has less pixel-pushing to do. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample parallelism for the game’s engine, and the 16 MB of L3 cache helps with data locality. The data shows that even with a top-tier GPU, this CPU can sustain frame rates well above 240 FPS at 1080p, meaning it is not a bottleneck for standard high-refresh-rate monitors (144Hz–165Hz). However, the gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p (345.4 vs 268.5 FPS) suggests that the CPU’s single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2930) is the limiting factor when trying to push beyond 300 FPS, rather than the GPU.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant force in this pairing. With 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus delivering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, and a boost clock of 2520 MHz, it provides the massive throughput needed for high-resolution gaming. Its benchmark scores are equally imposing, with a Passmark G3D score of 38194 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 9223, placing it in the 91st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the NVIDIA Tesla T4 (0.4% lower) and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (0.9% lower), highlighting its professional-grade compute capability.

In Doom, the GPU’s role is clearly demonstrated by the scaling from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the frame rate drops from 308.6 FPS at 1080p to 214.3 FPS at 1440p, and then to 113.1 FPS at 4K. This indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at 1440p and 4K, as the increased pixel count directly taxes the RTX 4090’s 16,384 shading units and 176 ROPs. The 24 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for Doom’s textures, ensuring no memory-related stutters. The results show that at 4K Low, the combo still achieves 157.1 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it maintains 97.1 FPS, proving the GPU can handle the most demanding settings while remaining playable. The RTX 4090’s raw compute power (82.58 TFLOPS FP32) is what allows this combo to achieve such high frame rates, even when paired with a mid-range CPU like the 5700G.

Settings Recommendations

For the best overall experience, the High preset at 2560x1440 is the standout choice. The data shows 214.3 FPS at this setting, which is both visually rich and well above the 144Hz refresh rate common on high-end monitors. If a higher refresh rate is the priority, dropping to Medium at 1440p yields 250.7 FPS, a 17% increase with a modest visual trade-off.

For 4K displays, the High preset at 3840x2160 is recommended, delivering 113.1 FPS. This is above the 97.1 FPS of Ultra, which is still playable, but High provides a smoother experience. The Medium preset at 4K (135.9 FPS) is the best choice for those who want to maximize frame rate without sacrificing too much detail. The Low preset at any resolution is not recommended, as the visual degradation is significant, and the performance gains are marginal at 4K (157.1 FPS vs 113.1 FPS for High). At 1080p, the Ultra preset (268.5 FPS) is the best choice because the GPU has enough headroom to run the most demanding settings while still maintaining frame rates far above any display’s refresh rate.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 74th out of 1681 tested combos in Doom, placing it in the top 4.4% of all configurations. This ranking is remarkably high given that the CPU is not a top-tier enthusiast part; the CPU’s percentile rank is 83, while the GPU’s is 91. The data shows that the RTX 4090’s sheer performance can boost a mid-range CPU to near-flagship status in GPU-bound scenarios. The combination outperforms 95.6% of all tested systems, meaning it is only beaten by systems with even faster CPUs (such as latest-generation flagship processors) paired with the same or similar GPU. The ranking suggests that for Doom, the GPU is the dominant factor in overall performance, and the 5700G’s Zen 3 architecture is sufficient to avoid being a significant drag on the system’s potential.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces extremely high frame rates across all settings. Low settings yield 345.4 FPS, Medium yields 326.1 FPS, High yields 308.6 FPS, and Ultra yields 268.5 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 76.9 FPS, showing that even at 1080p, the visual settings have a measurable impact.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. Low settings hit 288.4 FPS, Medium achieves 250.7 FPS, High reaches 214.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 170.9 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 117.5 FPS, which is larger than at 1080p, indicating the GPU is starting to become more stressed.

At 3840x2160, the performance is still strong but shows clear scaling. Low settings produce 157.1 FPS, Medium yields 135.9 FPS, High delivers 113.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 97.1 FPS. The 60 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K demonstrates that the RTX 4090’s workload at this resolution is substantial, but it remains capable of delivering playable frame rates even at the highest settings.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear pattern of frame rate reduction as resolution increases. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the frame rate drops from 308.6 FPS to 214.3 FPS, a 30.6% decrease. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings, the frame rate drops from 214.3 FPS to 113.1 FPS, a 47.2% decrease. This steeper decline at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at 4K.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is similar: 268.5 FPS at 1080p, 170.9 FPS at 1440p (a 36.3% drop), and 97.1 FPS at 4K (a 43.2% drop from 1440p). The consistency of these drops across settings suggests that the RTX 4090 is the bottleneck at 4K, while the CPU’s influence is more pronounced at 1080p. The fact that the frame rate at 1080p Low (345.4 FPS) is only 29.9% higher than at 4K Low (157.1 FPS) shows that even at Low settings, the GPU’s pixel throughput limits performance at higher resolutions. This analysis points to the GPU as the dominant component in this pairing for Doom, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom for all but the most extreme 1080p scenarios.
