Doom

The data for Doom with the Intel Core i7-13700K and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT shows a combination capable of very high frame rates in this 2016 FPS. Across the measured settings, the pairing ranges from 66.1 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra up to 315 FPS at 1920x1080 Low, and it sits at rank 458 out of 1681 tested combinations in Doom.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured frame-rate drop from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 is consistent across all four settings. Low falls from 315 at 1920x1080 to 200.9 at 2560x1440 and then to 112.1 at 3840x2160. Medium falls from 272.4 to 174.4 to 95.9. High falls from 231.4 to 147.8 to 81.9. Ultra falls from 185.6 to 124 to 66.1.

The ordering is identical at every resolution: Low is fastest, then Medium, then High, then Ultra. This means the settings hierarchy holds even as resolution pushes absolute numbers downward. At 3840x2160, the GPU is doing most of the visible work: even Low setting drops to 112.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 66.1. At 1920x1080, the same settings spread spans from 315 down to 185.6, which indicates that the CPU is still able to feed very high frame rates before the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

What the resolution curve shows is that 3840x2160 is a GPU-heavy workload for this combo. The Ultra row at 3840x2160 is the only measured point below 66.1? Actually 66.1 is the lowest measured value, and it appears exactly there. Once resolution increases, the FPS advantage of Low over Ultra shrinks in absolute terms: 1920x1080 Low is 315 versus Ultra at 185.6, while 3840x2160 Low is 112.1 versus Ultra at 66.1. The same pattern appears at 2560x1440, where Low is 200.9 and Ultra is 124.

Because the fact pack contains no separate CPU-only frame data, the exact CPU/GPU split cannot be quantified. However, the shape of the resolution scaling is clear: the combo is not resolution-limited at 1920x1080, but by 3840x2160 the GPU is the dominant constraint.

FAQ

Q: What settings and resolutions were measured for this combo?

A: The measured rows are 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 at Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. That covers the full settings range at each tested resolution.

Q: Can this combo run Doom at 3840x2160?

A: Yes. At 3840x2160, High averages 81.9 FPS, Low averages 112.1, Medium averages 95.9, and Ultra averages 66.1.

Q: What is the strongest measured preset at 2560x1440?

Settings Recommendations

High is the highest setting that keeps 3840x2160 comfortably fluid at 81.9 FPS. Ultra at 3840x2160 still produces 66.1, but it costs a meaningful amount of frame rate compared to High. For users who want more 4K headroom, Medium raises the average to 95.9, and Low pushes it to 112.1.

At 2560x1440, Medium and High are both strong options. Medium delivers 174.4 FPS, while High delivers 147.8. Ultra remains playable at 124, but the drop from High to Ultra is larger than the drop from Medium to High. At 1920x1080, Ultra is already 185.6, High reaches 231.4, Medium reaches 272.4, and Low reaches 315. The best measured balance across the whole range is High: it keeps 1080p above 230 FPS, 1440p near 148, and 4K above 80.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| Resolution | Settings | Average FPS |

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

| 3840x2160 | High | 81.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 112.1 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 95.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 66.1 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 147.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 200.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 174.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 124 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 231.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 315 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 272.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 185.6 |

The pattern at each resolution is identical: Low produces the highest measured average, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. The 1920x1080 rows show the largest absolute spread, from 315 down to 185.6. The 3840x2160 rows compress that spread to a range of 66.1 to 112.1, again pointing to GPU-bound behavior at high resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT uses the Navi 48 chip on a 4 nm TSMC process, with 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die. It has 4096 shading units, 256 texture units, 128 ROPs, and 64 ray-tracing cores. The base clock is 1660 MHz, the game clock is 2400 MHz, and the boost clock is 2970 MHz. Memory runs at 2518 MHz, listed as 20.1 Gbps effective, on a 256-bit bus for 644.6 GB/s of bandwidth.

That 16 GB GDDR6 configuration is directly relevant to the 3840x2160 results. The bandwidth and memory capacity support High at 81.9 FPS and even Ultra at 66.1. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 39647 places it at the 82nd percentile against all GPUs, and its closest rival scores are extremely tight: the AMD Radeon Pro 575 is 39703, the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile is 39568, the AMD Radeon Pro 575X is 39836, and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 is 39879. The deltaPct values range from -0.6 to +0.2, so the RX 9070 XT sits in a closely packed GPU tier.

In Doom specifically, the GPU role becomes more important as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, even Ultra stays at 185.6, meaning the GPU is not the main obstacle. At 3840x2160, the same Ultra setting drops to 66.1, and Low drops to 112.1. That transition is the clearest sign of the GPU taking over as the limiting component.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a Raptor Lake-S desktop processor built on Intel’s 10 nm process. It has 16 cores and 24 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The CPU has 30 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB of L2 cache per core, with a TDP of 125 W.

Its benchmark results show both strong multi-thread and strong single-thread capability. Cinebench R23 multi-core is 39000 and single-core is 5505. Geekbench multi-core is 17731 and single-core is 2850. 3dmark max threads is 12412 and single-thread is 1136. Passmark multithread is 45887 and single-thread is 4333. These scores sit at the 93rd percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 47282. The nearest rival i7-13700KF scores 47334 with a deltaPct of -0.1, while the AMD EPYC 4364P scores 47131 with +0.3, the Intel Core i9-12900F scores 47081 with +0.4, and the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 scores 47527 with -0.5.

In Doom, the CPU is most visible at 1920x1080. Low setting reaches 315 FPS, and High reaches 231.4. Frame rates that high require a CPU capable of feeding frames quickly. The single-thread benchmarks support that interpretation: Cinebench R23 single-core 5505, Geekbench single-core 2850, and 3dmark single-thread 1136 all indicate strong per-core performance. The CPU is not the limiting factor in the 4K rows; it has the headroom to keep the GPU supplied at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The Doom-specific rank for this combination is 458 out of 1681 tested combos. That places the i7-13700K + RX 9070 XT in the upper part of the tested field. The CPU sits at the 93rd percentile against all CPUs, and the GPU sits at the 82nd percentile against all GPUs, so the in-game rank is consistent with a high-tier CPU and an upper-tier GPU.

The CPU’s synthetic average is 47282, and its nearest rivals are all within a 0.5% deltaPct band: the Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 is 0.5% higher, the i7-13700KF is 0.1% higher, the EPYC 4364P is 0.3% lower, and the i9-12900F is 0.4% lower. The GPU’s closest rivals are similarly tight, with deltaPct values of -0.1, +0.2, -0.5, and -0.6. Those close synthetic scores do not prevent the combo from reaching a strong Doom rank, because the game-specific FPS rows are what determine the final placement of 458 out of 1681.
