Doom

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination produces measured frame rates in Doom that range from 66.5 fps at 4K Ultra to 315.9 fps at 1080p Low. The combo ranks 418th out of 1,681 tested combinations, placing it in the top quartile. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $449, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 599 USD. This analysis uses the measured FPS data to recommend settings, interpret the combo's standing, and examine resolution scaling.

Settings Recommendations

At 4K, the High preset delivers 81 fps, which is above the 60 fps threshold, while Ultra drops to 66.5 fps. Medium and Low provide 96.9 and 112.3 fps respectively. For a 60 Hz display, High offers a good balance of visual quality and frame rate. At 1440p, High reaches 146.6 fps, suitable for 144 Hz monitors; Ultra still provides 119.9 fps, which is also viable. At 1080p, even Ultra achieves 189.5 fps, so any preset is playable. Based on the measured averages, the recommended preset is High for 4K, High or Ultra for 1440p, and Ultra for 1080p, depending on the display's refresh rate.

The CPU's single-thread score of 3397 in Cinebench R23 and the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 26927 indicate that the system is well balanced for these settings. The CPU's 96 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support contribute to its strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3397. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s, provides ample headroom for the game's texture and geometry demands. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (315.9) and 1440p Low (204.8) show that the system can push very high frame rates when visual fidelity is lowered, making it suitable for competitive play on high-refresh-rate displays.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 418 out of 1,681 places it in the top quartile of all tested combinations. The CPU's percentile is 83, and the GPU's percentile is 81. The CPU's average benchmark score is 26,574, with nearest rivals including the AMD EPYC 8024P (deltaPct 0.1), Intel Core i9-11900K (0.1), AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (-0.2), and Intel Core i9-12900HK (-0.4). This indicates the 5800X3D is essentially tied with the EPYC and i9-11900K, and slightly behind the Ryzen 5 7600 and i9-12900HK. The GPU's average benchmark score is 37,283, with nearest rivals being the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (-0.6), NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (-1.9), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (-2.2), and AMD Radeon RX 5300M (2.5). The GPU is within 2.5% of these rivals, showing a competitive position.

The combo's rank reflects the combined performance of these two components in Doom. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 4.50 GHz, provide strong multi-threaded capability, as seen in its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 24,063. The GPU's Ada Lovelace architecture, with 5,888 shading units and 46 ray-tracing cores, delivers a PassMark G3D score of 26,927. The combination of a high-percentile CPU and GPU results in a rank that is better than 75% of all tested combos, indicating that this pairing is well above average for Doom.

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 81 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 112.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 96.9 |

The highest measured average is 315.9 fps at 1080p Low, while the lowest is 66.5 fps at 4K Ultra. At each resolution, the ordering of presets is consistent: Low > Medium > High > Ultra, with the exception that at 4K, High (81) is lower than Medium (96.9) but still above Ultra. The data shows a clear performance hierarchy across settings. Min and max FPS are not provided, so only averages are considered.

Resolution Scaling

The measured averages show a consistent reduction from 1080p to 4K across all presets. For Low, the 4K average is 112.3 fps versus 315.9 fps at 1080p. For Medium, it is 96.9 versus 276. For High, it is 81 versus 229.6. For Ultra, it is 66.5 versus 189.5. The similarity of these reductions suggests that the scaling is primarily due to pixel count, indicating the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the high frame rates (up to 315.9) suggest the CPU is not a bottleneck, as its single-thread score of 3397 in Cinebench R23 is strong. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 26927 also supports its capability. The CPU's multi-thread score of 24,063 in Cinebench R23 further indicates that the system can handle the game's demands.

The drop from 1080p to 1440p is also notable: for High, the average falls from 229.6 to 146.6; for Ultra, from 189.5 to 119.9. These reductions are consistent with the increased pixel count at 1440p. The 4K results, while lower, remain playable even at Ultra (66.5 fps), and the High preset at 4K (81 fps) provides a comfortable margin above 60 fps. The data indicates that the RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for Doom at all tested resolutions, and the CPU's 96 MB L3 cache and 8-core/16-thread configuration prevent any obvious CPU-side limitation at 1080p.
