Doom

Benchmark data for Doom measures the Intel Core i7-12700K paired with the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT across three resolutions and four quality presets. The dataset is flagged as measured. Average FPS spans from 190.7 at 1920x1080 Low to 41.1 at 3840x2160 Ultra. In the tested-combo ranking, this pairing sits at rank 1240 out of 1681 combinations.

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

The Intel Core i7-12700K belongs to the Core 12th Gen series and uses the Alder Lake-S architecture. It has 12 cores and 20 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The chip carries a 125 W TDP, fits Intel Socket 1700, and is built on Intel's 10 nm process. Its cache layout includes 25 MB of shared L3 cache, and it includes UHD Graphics 770 as integrated graphics. The measured Doom rows, however, rely on the discrete Radeon GPU.

Standardized CPU results place this processor near the top of the general pool. Cinebench R23 scores are 29241 multi-core and 4128 single-core. Geekbench scores are 13892 multi-core and 2561 single-core. PassMark reports 34404 multithread and 4013 single-thread. The CPU sits in the 89th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35684. These numbers indicate a strong desktop part, particularly in single-threaded and multithreaded workloads.

The CPU's strength is visible in the measured Doom results because the same processor appears in every row. At 1920x1080 Low, the average FPS is 190.7. At 1920x1080 Ultra, it is 115.8. At 2560x1440 Low, it is 124.6, and at 3840x2160 Low, it is 66.7. Since the CPU does not change across these rows, the FPS movement between resolutions and settings is best explained by the Radeon RX 5700 XT's rendering load. The GPU is a Navi 10 part on RDNA 1.0, built on TSMC's 7 nm process, with 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, and 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its FP32 throughput is 9.754 TFLOPS. The GPU's own standing is lower than the CPU's: it sits in the 68th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24731.

FAQ

Q: What average FPS does this combo produce at 3840x2160 Ultra?

A: The measured average is 41.1 FPS. For context, 4K High is 50.7, 4K Medium is 60.3, and 4K Low is 66.7.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals by average benchmark score?

A: The i7-12700K has an average benchmark score of 35684.

Q: What is this combo's in-game rank?

A: The combo rank in Doom is 1240 out of 1681 tested combinations.

Settings Recommendations

At 1920x1080, the measured presets are Low 190.7, Medium 162.3, High 140.1, and Ultra 115.8. Low is the fastest measured option, but Medium and High remain high enough for image-quality-focused play. Ultra at 115.8 is still above the 2560x1440 High result of 90.7, so 1080p Ultra does not force a dramatic FPS collapse.

At 2560x1440, Low delivers 124.6, Medium 108.6, High 90.7, and Ultra 73.8. Medium is the only non-Low preset at 1440p that remains in triple digits. High's 90.7 average is usable, while Ultra's 73.8 is the lowest measured 1440p value.

At 3840x2160, Low is 66.7, Medium is 60.3, High is 50.7, and Ultra is 41.1. Low gives the highest 4K average, and Medium remains just above 60.3 while adding one step of visual quality. High and Ultra fall further below those values. Across the measured rows, the data points to 1080p High, 1440p Medium, and 4K Low as practical balanced choices: 140.1, 108.6, and 66.7 average FPS respectively.

How This Combo Ranks

The in-game combo rank is 1240 out of 1681. That places this exact CPU/GPU pairing in the lower portion of the tested field, despite the CPU's strong standalone position. The i7-12700K is in the 89th percentile among all CPUs, and the RX 5700 XT is in the 68th percentile among all GPUs. The component-level pattern is therefore consistent with a CPU that is comparatively stronger than the GPU in synthetic benchmarks.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 35684 is close to its nearest rivals: the Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 at 35802, the Core i7-13700T at 35468, the Core i5-14500HX at 35940, and the Core i7-13800H at 35416. None of these rivals differ by more than 0.8 in deltaPct. This suggests CPU performance is not the dominant factor in this combo's 1240th-place result. The GPU's nearest rivals are equally tight, but the measured Doom averages at 4K Ultra (41.1) and 4K High (50.7) put the graphics card in a mid-class position. The rank of 1240 out of 1681 reflects that pairing in an FPS where the measured data set is fully populated by real results.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS drops in a consistent pattern with each resolution increase. For High settings, the average goes from 140.1 at 1920x1080 to 90.7 at 2560x1440, then to 50.7 at 3840x2160. Low settings go from 190.7 to 124.6 to 66.7. Medium settings go from 162.3 to 108.6 to 60.3. Ultra settings go from 115.8 to 73.8 to 41.1.

| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |

| 1920x1080 | 190.7 | 162.3 | 140.1 | 115.8 |

| 2560x1440 | 124.6 | 108.6 | 90.7 | 73.8 |

| 3840x2160 | 66.7 | 60.3 | 50.7 | 41.1 |

This pattern indicates that resolution scaling is a major factor for this pairing. The CPU remains fixed at 12 cores, 20 threads, and a 5.00 GHz boost clock across all rows, while the GPU's workload expands as pixel count rises. The result is a clear FPS decline at every preset. At 1080p, the settings spread from Low to Ultra also lowers the average from 190.7 to 115.8, showing that graphics settings matter even before moving to higher resolutions. The sharper drops at 4K point to the Radeon GPU as the limiting component when the frame buffer demand increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data includes average FPS only; min and max fields are null. At 1920x1080, Low records 190.7, Medium 162.3, High 140.1, and Ultra 115.8. At 2560x1440, Low records 124.6, Medium 108.6, High 90.7, and Ultra 73.8. At 3840x2160, Low records 66.7, Medium 60.3, High 50.7, and Ultra 41.1.

The ordering is identical at every resolution: Low produces the highest average, Medium the second, High the third, and Ultra the lowest. The best measured average is 190.7 at 1080p Low, and the lowest is 41.1 at 4K Ultra. Notably, 1080p Ultra's 115.8 is higher than 1440p High's 90.7 and 4K Medium's 60.3, while 1440p Ultra's 73.8 is higher than 4K High's 50.7. These comparisons show that resolution has a stronger effect on average FPS than moving between adjacent settings at the same resolution.
