Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination delivers exceptional performance in Doom, with the data showing a system capable of extreme frame rates across all tested resolutions. This pairing of a Zen 3 octa-core processor with an Ada Lovelace GPU places it in the top tier of tested configurations, ranking 179th out of 1681 combos. The measured results indicate a well-balanced system where the GPU becomes the primary scaling factor as resolution increases.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound scaling pattern. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 275.1 FPS, which drops to 175.2 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 96.3 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 65% performance reduction from 1080p to 4K at High settings, demonstrating that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The data shows that the CPU headroom becomes apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 362.9 FPS, while at 1440p Low it reaches 242.4 FPS, and at 4K Low it still manages 133.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens significantly as resolution increases: at 1080p the difference between Low (362.9 FPS) and Ultra (226.1 FPS) is 136.8 FPS, while at 4K the difference narrows to 53.3 FPS (133.1 vs 79.8 FPS). This compression indicates that at 4K, the GPU's rendering workload dominates, and settings adjustments have less relative impact on the final frame rate.

The 1440p results show the sweet spot for this combination. At Medium settings, the system delivers 208.1 FPS, which is 76.9 FPS higher than the 4K Medium result of 110.4 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Medium settings shows a 47% performance drop, while the drop from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings is only 36%. This non-linear scaling confirms that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 1440p but become more strained at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K gaming, the data suggests that High settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance. The measured 96.3 FPS at 4K High is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while the Ultra preset drops to 79.8 FPS — a 17% reduction that may not justify the additional visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 4K offers 110.4 FPS, but the visual downgrade from High to Medium is typically more noticeable than the 14.1 FPS gain.

At 1440p, the Ultra preset becomes viable with 142.6 FPS, but the Medium setting at 208.1 FPS provides a significant frame rate cushion for high-refresh-rate monitors. The data shows diminishing returns beyond Medium at this resolution: moving from Medium to High costs 32.9 FPS (208.1 to 175.2), while moving from High to Ultra costs another 32.6 FPS (175.2 to 142.6). For competitive play, the Low preset at 1440p delivers 242.4 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most gaming monitors.

For 1080p, all settings produce triple-digit frame rates, with even the Ultra preset reaching 226.1 FPS. The Medium setting at 324.7 FPS provides an optimal balance, as the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads have sufficient headroom to maintain high frame rates without bottlenecking the GPU. The data indicates that this combo can handle any settings configuration at 1080p without dropping below 226 FPS.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER plays the dominant role in determining Doom's frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the game's texture-heavy environments at 4K. The 8448 shading units and 96 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s, enabling the measured 96.3 FPS at 4K High.

The clock speeds of 2340 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost, combined with the Ada Lovelace architecture's efficiency, allow the GPU to maintain high utilization across all settings. The FP32 performance of 44.10 TFLOPS explains why the card performs strongly in Doom's Vulkan-rendered scenes. The 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores contribute to the card's overall compute capability, though Doom's traditional rasterization workload primarily benefits from the shading units and texture units.

The GPU's 285 W TDP and triple-slot design suggest substantial cooling requirements, but the measured performance justifies this power draw. The data shows that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K, as evidenced by the smaller frame rate differences between settings at this resolution compared to 1080p. At 1080p, the GPU's performance headroom allows the CPU to push frame rates to 362.9 FPS at Low settings, but at 4K, the rendering workload limits the system to 133.1 FPS even at Low.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5800X provides ample processing power to support the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in Doom. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, the CPU has sufficient multi-threading capability to handle the game's engine overhead without bottlenecking the GPU. The measured 3dmark scores of 7586 for 16 threads and 7578 for max threads indicate strong multi-core performance, while the single-thread score of 943 shows solid per-core efficiency.

The CPU's 32 MB of L3 cache and 4.70 GHz boost clock help maintain high frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios, particularly at 1080p where the system achieves 362.9 FPS at Low settings. The data shows that even at 1080p Ultra, the CPU can sustain 226.1 FPS, demonstrating that it is not the limiting factor at any resolution. The 7 nm process node and 105 W TDP contribute to the CPU's efficiency, though the data focuses on gaming performance rather than power consumption.

The CPU's benchmark results, including Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23571 and single-core score of 3327, place it in the 84th percentile versus all CPUs. The nearest rivals show a tight grouping, with the Ryzen 7 5800 scoring 0.3% lower and the Intel Core i5-12600KF scoring 0.8% higher on average. This indicates that the CPU's gaming performance is well-matched to the GPU's capabilities, allowing the combo to achieve its 179th ranking out of 1681 configurations.
