Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It features a 32 MB shared L3 cache, a 65 W TDP, and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In synthetic benchmarks, the chip demonstrates strong scaling from single-thread to multi-thread workloads, with a score of 921 in 3dmark_single_thread and 6858 in 3dmark_16_threads, indicating a balanced architecture that scales effectively when more cores are engaged.

The processor’s percentile rank of 83 against all CPUs places it in the upper tier of desktop processors. Its average benchmark score of 26214 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, with a 0.1% delta over the Intel Core i9-11900KF and a 0.2% delta over the AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT. This positions the 5700X as a highly consistent performer, with its multi-threaded capabilities being particularly notable for games that leverage multiple cores. For Doom, a fast-paced FPS, the 8-core configuration ensures that background tasks and game logic do not bottleneck the rendering pipeline, even at high frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER achieves a rank of 199 out of 1681 tested combos for Doom. This places the system in the top 12% of all configurations, indicating a high level of performance for this specific title. The ranking reflects the synergy between the processor’s strong multi-threaded scores, such as 22620 in Cinebench R23 multicore, and the GPU’s substantial compute capabilities.

The combo rank suggests that while the system is not at the absolute top of the leaderboard, it delivers a level of performance that will satisfy demanding users. The data shows that the 5700X’s 8-core/16-thread layout is sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in Doom, preventing the CPU from becoming a limiting factor in most scenarios. This is a notable achievement, as the processor’s average score of 26214 is closely matched by rivals like the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X, which has a delta of -0.2%, yet the overall combo still ranks highly due to the GPU’s contribution.

Resolution Scaling

Examining the measured FPS data across resolutions reveals how the system’s performance scales and where the bottleneck lies. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system achieves 273.6 FPS, which is 129.2 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 52.8% drop in performance when moving from 1080p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, indicating that the workload shifts from CPU-bound at lower resolutions to GPU-bound at higher resolutions.

The data shows that at 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high—354.7 FPS on Low settings—which suggests the CPU and GPU are both capable of handling the load, but the GPU is likely the limiting factor even at this resolution. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 80.3 FPS, a 77.4% reduction from the 1080p Low result. This steep decline underscores the GPU’s role in rendering higher resolutions, as the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth are heavily utilized. The resolution scaling pattern indicates that users targeting 4K will see a significant performance hit, but the system remains playable, while 1440p offers a strong balance between visual fidelity and frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed view of performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the system delivers high frame rates across all settings: 354.7 FPS on Low, 324.3 FPS on Medium, 273.6 FPS on High, and 225 FPS on Ultra. These results show that even at the highest settings, the system maintains a frame rate well above the refresh rate of most monitors, ensuring a smooth experience.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust. The Low setting yields 237.6 FPS, Medium drops to 208.5 FPS, High produces 174 FPS, and Ultra still manages 145.6 FPS. The 1440p results indicate that the system is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at this resolution, with the GPU handling the increased pixel count effectively. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in an average FPS drop of approximately 36%, which is expected given the increased rendering load.

At 3840x2160, the system shows its limits. The Low setting achieves 129.2 FPS, Medium 116.2 FPS, High 95.3 FPS, and Ultra 80.3 FPS. The 4K results demonstrate that while the system can handle 4K gaming, the frame rates are lower, particularly at Ultra settings where the 80.3 FPS result is below the 100 FPS mark that many enthusiasts prefer. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, as the CPU’s performance headroom is less relevant when the rendering load is so high.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a high-end GPU based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, with a boost clock of 2610 MHz. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s. The GPU has 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs, along with 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores. Its compute capabilities are substantial, with an FP32 throughput of 44.10 TFLOPS, which is critical for rendering complex scenes in Doom.

The GPU’s benchmark scores are strong, with a passmark_g3d score of 31811 and a 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12 score of 5569. Its percentile rank of 86 against all GPUs places it in the upper echelon, though its average benchmark score of 48704 is closely matched by rivals like the NVIDIA CMP 50HX, which has a delta of -0.7%. In Doom, the GPU’s role is central to achieving high frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions and settings.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU’s performance scales predictably with resolution and settings. At 1080p, the GPU is not fully taxed, as evidenced by the 354.7 FPS on Low settings, but it still delivers excellent results. At 1440p, the GPU’s workload increases, and the frame rates remain high, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is well-matched to the CPU for this game. At 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, with the frame rate dropping to 80.3 FPS at Ultra settings, which is still playable but shows the GPU’s limits under maximum load. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for Doom, ensuring that memory is not a bottleneck even at 4K with high-resolution textures.
