Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT combination delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Doom, with the data showing a clear 60+ FPS baseline at High settings across most resolutions. The pairing places this system in the 66th percentile of all tested combos for this title, indicating a capable configuration that handles the game’s demands without bottlenecking at common gaming resolutions. The measured frames per second reveal that this setup is best suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p or solid 1440p play, with 4K requiring careful settings adjustments to maintain playability.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running on the AM4 socket. It operates with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz, backed by a substantial 96 MB of shared L3 cache. This cache configuration is particularly relevant for gaming workloads, as it helps reduce memory latency and improves data throughput in scenarios where the same data is accessed repeatedly. The CPU’s benchmark scores reflect strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,366 and a single-core score of 3,157. In 3DMark, the 16-thread test yields 6,764 points, while the single-thread test produces 804 points, showing a healthy balance between multi-core and single-core capabilities.

In Doom, which is primarily a GPU-bound title at higher resolutions, the CPU’s role becomes more pronounced at 1080p where frame rates are higher. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 197.9 FPS, suggesting the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU efficiently at high frame rates. The 5700X3D’s 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24,673, places it slightly above the Intel Core i7-1360P by 0.2% and the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D by 0.3%. This indicates that the processor is not a limiting factor in this configuration, even when paired with a mid-range GPU like the RX 7600 XT.

This ranking suggests the system is well-matched for Doom, with no single component dragging down the overall result.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured frame rates show a clear progression across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 197.9 FPS, Medium drops to 174.4 FPS, High sits at 146.4 FPS, and Ultra is 117.8 FPS. These numbers indicate that even at the highest quality settings, the system remains comfortably above 100 FPS, making 1080p the most forgiving resolution for this combo. Moving to 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 129.4 FPS, Medium is 111.1 FPS, High is 93.8 FPS, and Ultra is 79.0 FPS. The 1440p results show a step-down in performance, but High settings still maintain a smooth experience near the 90 FPS mark. At 3840x2160, the gap narrows between presets: Low averages 69.9 FPS, Medium is 61.3 FPS, High is 49.7 FPS, and Ultra is 42.1 FPS. The 4K results are the most demanding, with only the Low preset staying above 60 FPS. Across all resolutions, the difference between Low and Ultra is consistent, with roughly a 40% performance drop at 1080p and 1440p, and a slightly smaller 30% drop at 4K.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the nature of the workload. At High settings, the system produces 146.4 FPS at 1080p, 93.8 FPS at 1440p, and 49.7 FPS at 4K. This represents a 35.9% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 47.0% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is steeper at higher resolutions, which is typical for a GPU-limited scenario. At 1080p Low, the system hits 197.9 FPS, and the CPU’s 3DMark single-thread score of 804 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,157 suggest it is not the bottleneck here. The GPU’s 128-bit memory bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, combined with its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, are sufficient for 1080p but become strained at 4K. The data points to the RX 7600 XT as the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s performance headroom remains consistent across all tested settings.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For the best overall experience, the High preset at 2560x1440 is the standout choice, delivering 93.8 FPS with a balance of visual quality and smoothness. At 1080p, the High preset at 146.4 FPS is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors, while the Ultra preset at 117.8 FPS is acceptable for players who prioritize visual fidelity over raw frame rate. At 4K, the Low preset at 69.9 FPS is the only setting that maintains a consistent 60+ FPS experience, making it the recommended choice for 4K displays. The Medium preset at 4K, at 61.3 FPS, is also viable, but it offers only a marginal visual improvement over Low with a noticeable performance cost. For players with 144Hz or higher refresh rate monitors, the 1080p High preset provides the best combination of frame rate and graphical detail, as it sits well above the 144 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 1440p, at 79.0 FPS, is less desirable for competitive play but still suitable for slower-paced exploration. Overall, the data suggests that sticking to High settings at 1080p or 1440p maximizes the system’s strengths, while 4K requires dropping to Low or Medium to maintain playability.
