Doom

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Doom with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti shows a clear pattern of scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo delivers 232.6 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that to 148.5 FPS, a reduction of roughly 36% from the 1080p figure. At 4K Ultra, the average falls to 79.4 FPS, which is about 66% lower than the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as pixel count rises, which is expected given the rendering demands at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern across all settings tells a similar story. At Low settings, the combo produces 384.3 FPS at 1080p, 246.8 FPS at 1440p, and 134.5 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 137.5 FPS, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 112.3 FPS. The relative percentage losses are comparable, but the absolute FPS loss is larger at lower resolutions because the frame rates are already so high. At 1080p Low, the system is clearly CPU-bound in many scenes, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames far faster than the CPU can feed them.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution decreases. At 4K, Low produces 134.5 FPS and Ultra produces 79.4 FPS, a difference of 55.1 FPS. At 1440p, the gap is 98.3 FPS (246.8 vs 148.5). At 1080p, the gap grows to 151.7 FPS (384.3 vs 232.6). This behavior confirms that at 1080p, the CPU and memory subsystem are the bottlenecks, while at 4K the GPU's rendering throughput dominates the equation. The data suggests that for high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming, this combo has substantial GPU headroom left on the table.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 Ti is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB203 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It carries 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 2295 MHz with a boost clock of 2452 MHz. Memory runs at 1750 MHz, which translates to 28 Gbps effective. These specifications position the card with 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. The pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s, figures that directly influence how quickly the card can fill pixels and sample textures in a fast-paced FPS like Doom.

The GPU's benchmark standing places it at the 87th percentile among all tested GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 52086 nearly matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, which scores 52085, a delta of 0%. The AMD Radeon RX 7700S scores 52505, which is 0.8% higher, while the NVIDIA RTX A1000 trails at 50826, a 2.5% deficit. These comparisons indicate the RTX 5070 Ti sits in a competitive tier, trading blows with previous-generation high-end cards. The measured Doom results reflect this positioning — the card delivers playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra, though it falls short of the extreme refresh rates achievable at 1080p.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is ample for Doom's demands at any of the tested settings. The game's texture and geometry workloads do not appear to exceed this allocation, as frame rates scale predictably with resolution rather than exhibiting sudden drops that would indicate VRAM swapping. The 896.0 GB/s bandwidth provides sufficient throughput for the high-resolution texture streaming that Doom's id Tech engine utilizes during fast movement and combat sequences.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Doom?

A: The data shows 1440p High delivers 182.8 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors while maintaining visual quality. At 4K High, the combo still produces 100.5 FPS, which is smooth for most displays. The choice depends on whether you prioritize frame rate or resolution, but 1440p offers the best balance of both.

Q: How does the RTX 5070 Ti compare to the RTX 4080 in overall GPU benchmarks?

A: The average benchmark scores are nearly identical: 52086 for the RTX 5070 Ti versus 52085 for the RTX 4080, a delta of 0%. This suggests the two cards perform at essentially the same level in synthetic testing, which translates to comparable gaming performance in most titles.

Q: Is the Ryzen 7 7700 a bottleneck at 1080p in Doom?

A: The FPS gap between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p is 151.7 FPS, which is larger than the gap at higher resolutions. This indicates the CPU becomes the limiting factor at 1080p Low, where the GPU could push far more frames if the CPU could keep up. At 1080p Ultra (232.6 FPS) the GPU is more engaged, but the CPU still prevents the GPU from reaching its full potential.

Q: What is the CPU's percentile ranking among all tested CPUs?

A: The Ryzen 7 7700 sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 40468, which places it just 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (40431) and 0.5% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40262). The Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40712, which is 0.6% higher.

Q: Does the combo maintain 144 FPS at 4K in Doom?

A: No. The highest 4K result is 134.5 FPS on Low settings. Ultra settings at 4K produce 79.4 FPS, which falls short of 144 FPS. For a 144 Hz 4K display, you would need to use Low settings, and even then you would not consistently hit the full refresh rate.

Q: How much faster is Medium compared to Ultra at 1440p?

A: At 1440p, Medium produces 214.4 FPS while Ultra produces 148.5 FPS. That is a difference of 65.9 FPS, meaning Medium is approximately 44% faster than Ultra. The visual quality trade-off may be worth it if you have a high-refresh-rate 1440p monitor.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 147th out of 1681 tested combos in Doom. This places it in the top 8.7% of all configurations tested for this game. The rank reflects a system that can handle Doom at high frame rates across all resolutions, but it is not at the very top of the leaderboard — there are 146 combos that produce higher average frame rates in this title.

The combination of a 91st-percentile CPU and an 87th-percentile GPU yields a result that is stronger than either component's individual percentile might suggest. This is because Doom's engine scales well with both CPU and GPU resources, and this pairing avoids severe bottlenecks at most settings. The 147th rank out of 1681 combos indicates that while this system is well above average, it is not in the absolute elite tier for Doom specifically. Enthusiasts chasing the highest possible frame rates in this game would need to look at combos with more powerful CPUs and GPUs, though the gains would be marginal at 4K where the GPU is already the limiting factor.

The measured FPS data confirms this ranking is justified. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 384.3 FPS, which is exceptional for competitive play. At 4K Ultra, the 79.4 FPS result is still smooth for a single-player experience. The system's flexibility across resolutions and settings makes it a versatile choice for Doom players who may switch between competitive and visual-quality-focused play sessions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 384.3 FPS average. Medium settings yield 334.9 FPS. High settings achieve 282.4 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 232.6 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra represents a 151.7 FPS range, demonstrating significant headroom at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain highly playable. Low settings average 246.8 FPS. Medium settings reach 214.4 FPS. High settings produce 182.8 FPS. Ultra settings fall to 148.5 FPS. The range from Low to Ultra is 98.3 FPS, showing that settings choices have a substantial impact on performance at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low settings average 134.5 FPS. Medium settings achieve 116 FPS. High settings deliver 100.5 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 79.4 FPS. The range from Low to Ultra narrows to 55.1 FPS, indicating that resolution, rather than settings, is the dominant factor at 4K. The minimum FPS values are not provided in the data, so the consistency of frame delivery cannot be assessed from these measurements alone.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each step up in settings costs a similar percentage of performance regardless of resolution. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium reduces FPS by 49.4, from Medium to High by 52.5, and from High to Ultra by 49.8. At 4K, the corresponding drops are 18.5, 15.5, and 21.1. The absolute reductions are smaller at 4K because the baseline frame rates are lower, but the relative impact of settings remains fairly consistent.

Settings Recommendations

For players with a 144 Hz monitor, the data supports using High settings at 1440p, which delivers 182.8 FPS, comfortably above the refresh rate. Ultra at 1440p produces 148.5 FPS, which still exceeds 144 Hz but leaves less margin for demanding scenes. Medium at 1440p at 214.4 FPS is optimal if you want maximum headroom for competitive play, as the extra FPS reduces input latency even if your display cannot show all of them.

At 4K, the recommendation depends on your tolerance for visual compromises. High settings at 100.5 FPS provide a good balance of image quality and smoothness for most displays. If you have a 120 Hz 4K panel, High is the closest match, though it will not fully saturate the refresh rate. Medium at 116 FPS gets closer to 120 Hz but with reduced visual fidelity. Ultra at 79.4 FPS is playable but may feel less responsive in fast-paced combat. Low at 134.5 FPS is the only 4K option that exceeds 120 Hz, but the visual downgrade is significant.

At 1080p, all settings deliver frame rates well above 144 Hz. Ultra at 232.6 FPS is the recommended choice for visual quality, as the GPU has ample headroom to maintain high frame rates even with maxed-out settings. Low at 384.3 FPS is only necessary for esports-style play on a 360 Hz or higher refresh rate display. Medium and High at 334.9 and 282.4 FPS respectively are excellent middle grounds.

The best overall experience from the measured rows is 1440p High. It delivers 182.8 FPS, which is smooth on any display, while maintaining high visual quality. If you prioritize frame rate above all else, 1080p Low or Medium maximizes performance. If you prioritize resolution, 4K High at 100.5 FPS is the strongest visual option that remains playable. The data suggests that this combo is versatile enough to adapt to different player preferences, but the sweet spot lies at 1440p with High or Ultra settings.
