Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti combination delivers measured performance in Doom, a 2016 FPS. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $449, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 799 USD. Benchmark data shows this pairing ranks 222nd out of 1681 tested combos in this game, placing it in the upper tier of configurations. The measured FPS spans from 359.8 at 1080p Low to 77.3 at 4K Ultra, revealing a clear scaling pattern that defines the system's behavior.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS across resolutions and presets shows a steep drop as pixel count increases. At 1080p High, the average is 270.2 FPS; at 1440p High it falls to 176.3; at 4K High it reaches 92.6. The same pattern holds for every preset: Low goes from 359.8 at 1080p to 237.9 at 1440p to 127.3 at 4K; Medium from 320.6 to 207.3 to 111.2; Ultra from 223.4 to 143.2 to 77.3. The reduction from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, with the 4K values roughly one-third to one-half of their 1080p counterparts. This scaling indicates that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU's workload does not increase proportionally with pixel count. The fact that even at 4K Low the system still produces 127.3 FPS suggests the GPU has ample headroom, but the consistent drop with resolution points to the graphics card as the bottleneck in this configuration. At 1080p, the FPS values are extremely high, often exceeding 300, which implies the CPU is not holding back the GPU at lower resolutions. The data shows a classic GPU-bound scenario at 1440p and 4K, while 1080p remains CPU-limited only in the sense that the GPU is not fully utilized.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, built on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of L3 cache. Its benchmark scores reflect strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 23571, single-core 3327; Geekbench multicore 10220, single-core 2194; and Passmark multithread 27732. The CPU's average benchmark score is 27606, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (avgScore 27535, deltaPct 0.3), meaning the 5800X is 0.3% ahead in average score, and the Intel Core i5-12600KF (avgScore 27827, deltaPct -0.8), which is 0.8% behind. In Doom, the CPU's role is evident in the 1080p results: at Low settings, the system hits 359.8 FPS, a figure that far exceeds typical display refresh rates and indicates the CPU can feed the GPU without bottlenecking. The single-thread score of 3327 in Cinebench R23 suggests strong per-core performance, which is relevant for a game that relies on a few threads. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration also provides ample headroom for background tasks and modern game engines that scale across multiple cores. The CPU's 84th percentile ranking means it outperforms the majority of processors, and its 0.3% lead over the Ryzen 7 5800 shows it is a slightly higher-binned part. The data does not show any CPU-induced frame drops; even at 1080p Ultra, the FPS remains above 223, so the processor is not a limiting factor in this title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, using the AD104 chip on a 5 nm process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU has 7680 shading units, 240 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 60 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores. Its base clock is 2310 MHz, boost clock 2610 MHz, and memory clock is 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The GPU's benchmark scores include a Passmark G3D score of 31624 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 205028. Its average benchmark score is 44900, placing it in the 85th percentile of all GPUs. Nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (avgScore 45152, deltaPct -0.6), meaning the 4070 Ti is 0.6% behind, and the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (avgScore 44195, deltaPct 1.6), which is 1.6% behind the 4070 Ti. In Doom, the GPU's influence is most pronounced at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 77.3, which is still playable but shows the GPU is working hard. The 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 4K textures, as the game does not appear to be memory-limited based on the measured FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a clear GPU-bound pattern: the FPS drops by roughly 60-70% across all presets, which is typical for a graphics-heavy title. The GPU's 85th percentile ranking indicates it outperforms most graphics cards, and its 0.6% deficit to the RTX 5090 Mobile is negligible in real-world gaming. The data suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of performance in this combo, with the CPU providing sufficient support.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 4070 Ti ranks 222nd out of 1681 tested combos in Doom. This places it in the top 13% of all configurations, a strong showing for a mid-range to high-end pairing. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU: the CPU's 84th percentile and GPU's 85th percentile are closely matched, meaning neither component is drastically weaker than the other. The measured FPS at 1080p and 1440p are exceptionally high, with 1080p High at 270.2 and 1440p High at 176.3, which are well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. At 4K, the combo still delivers 92.6 FPS on High, which is above 60 and suitable for most displays. The rank of 222 out of 1681 indicates that this combo outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, though it is not at the very top, which would require a more powerful GPU or a newer CPU. The deltaPct values for the CPU and GPU relative to their nearest rivals show that both components are competitive within their respective tiers. The CPU's 0.3% lead over the Ryzen 7 5800 and the GPU's 0.6% deficit to the RTX 5090 Mobile are minor differences that do not significantly affect the overall ranking. The data shows that this combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, and it can handle 4K with adjusted settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, all presets deliver over 223 FPS, with Low at 359.8, Medium at 320.6, High at 270.2, and Ultra at 223.4. For a 144Hz or 240Hz monitor, High or Ultra are recommended to maximize visual quality while still exceeding 200 FPS. At 1440p, High provides 176.3 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz displays, while Ultra drops to 143.2, still above 120 FPS. Medium at 207.3 is also viable for those who prefer higher frame rates. At 4K, High is the best balance, delivering 92.6 FPS, which is above 60 and suitable for most 60Hz or 120Hz displays. Ultra at 77.3 is playable but may cause noticeable frame drops on high-refresh-rate monitors. Low at 4K yields 127.3 FPS, but the visual compromise is significant. The data suggests that High is the sweet spot across all resolutions, offering a strong balance between image quality and performance. For competitive play at 1080p, Low or Medium can push frame rates to 320-360 FPS, which is beneficial for esports titles, though Doom is primarily a single-player experience. The measured rows indicate that the combo can handle Ultra at 1080p and 1440p without issue, but at 4K, High is the recommended preset to maintain a smooth experience.
