Downfall

The pairing of an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is a mid-range combination by database standards: the CPU sits in the 71st percentile of all tested processors, while the GPU sits in the 58th percentile of all tested graphics cards. Downfall, a horror title released in early 2016, predates both components by several years, and the recorded data shows this hardware clears the 60 FPS playability threshold at every resolution, provided settings are chosen sensibly. Below is a step-by-step walkthrough of the measurements.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains average frame rates for twelve combinations: three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) across four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). Minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded for these runs, so the analysis below relies on average FPS as the sole indicator.

At 1920x1080, the combo is consistently fast:

• Low: 172.7 avg FPS
• Medium: 141 avg FPS
• High: 119.3 avg FPS
• Ultra: 74.7 avg FPS

Even the Ultra preset stays nearly 15 frames above the 60 FPS threshold. The spread from Low to Ultra is roughly 98 frames, which indicates meaningful headroom at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the numbers settle but remain strong:

• Low: 121.4 avg FPS
• Medium: 101.7 avg FPS
• High: 82.6 avg FPS
• Ultra: 54.6 avg FPS

The drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is about 51 frames, and Ultra falls below the 60 FPS line by 5.4 frames. High is the best preset that clears the threshold here.

At 3840x2160, the combo reaches its limits:

• Low: 78.6 avg FPS
• Medium: 61.5 avg FPS
• High: 49.4 avg FPS
• Ultra: 30.4 avg FPS

Only Low and Medium remain playable. Medium squeaks past the threshold at 61.5 FPS, while High drops 11.1 frames below it and Ultra collapses to 30.4 FPS, barely half the required rate.

Best Settings per Resolution

Using the database's 60 FPS playability threshold, the most demanding preset that holds at or above the line at each resolution is:

• 1920x1080: Ultra, at 74.7 avg FPS
• 2560x1440: High, at 82.6 avg FPS
• 3840x2160: Medium, at 61.5 avg FPS

Note the interesting inversion: 1440p High (82.6 FPS) is actually faster than 1080p Ultra (74.7 FPS). A player who values visual quality over pixel density gets a better frame rate by staying at 1440p with High than pushing 1080p at Ultra. At 4K, Medium's 61.5 FPS margin over the threshold is thin, only 1.5 frames, so Low at 78.6 FPS is the safer choice for consistent smoothness.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling pattern in the recorded data indicates this game is GPU-limited on this hardware at higher resolutions. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at the Low preset costs 51.3 FPS (172.7 to 121.4), and moving from 1440p to 4K costs a further 42.8 FPS (121.4 to 78.6). If the CPU were the bottleneck, resolution changes would have little effect on frame rate; instead, each pixel-density increase produces a large, consistent drop, which points at the RTX 2060 as the limiting component.

Preset scaling tells a similar story. At 4K, going from Low to Ultra cuts the frame rate by 48.2 FPS (78.6 to 30.4), a substantial visual-quality penalty. At 1080p, the same Low-to-Ultra transition costs 98 FPS but still lands at 74.7, well above threshold. In both cases the GPU's rendering load is what moves the number.

The Ryzen 5 4600G, a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 2 (Renoir) processor with a 3.70 GHz base and 4.20 GHz boost, is more than sufficient here. Its synthetic profile (a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593, single-core of 1919, and a 3DMark max-threads score of 4889) places it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs, and Downfall's frame rates respond to resolution and preset changes rather than stalling at a fixed ceiling. There is no evidence of a CPU-bound plateau in any of the twelve measurements.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the database lists four nearest rivals with nearly identical average benchmark scores:

• AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE: 17482 avg score, 0.1% behind the 4600G's 17507
• AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE: 17614, 0.6% ahead
• Intel Core 7 150U: 17395, 0.6% behind
• Intel Core i3-14100T: 17648, 0.8% ahead

All four sit within a fraction of a percent of the 4600G's average of 17507, so any of them would produce effectively the same behavior in Downfall, a game where the CPU is not the constraint anyway.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are a more eclectic group:

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580: 15283 avg score, 0% delta
• AMD Radeon 680M: 15270, 0.1% behind
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM: 15199, 0.6% behind
• AMD Radeon RX 7600: 15171, 0.8% behind

The RTX 2060's average is 15290, and all four rivals fall within 0.8% of it. Since the GPU is the limiting component in this pairing, swapping in any of these cards would yield nearly identical Downfall results: comfortable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, and a Medium-or-lower prescription at 4K.

FAQ

Q: Can the Ryzen 5 4600G + RTX 2060 run Downfall at 1080p on max settings?

A: Yes. Ultra at 1920x1080 averages 74.7 FPS, which is 14.7 frames above the 60 FPS playability threshold. It is the only resolution where Ultra is playable on this combo.

Q: What is the best playable preset at 4K?

A: Medium, at 61.5 avg FPS. High (49.4) and Ultra (30.4) both fall below the threshold, while Low (78.6) offers a larger safety margin.

Q: Is 1440p High or 1080p Ultra the better choice?

A: 1440p High is faster at 82.6 FPS versus 74.7 FPS for 1080p Ultra, so the data favors the higher resolution at the High preset.

Q: Does the CPU limit frame rates in Downfall?

A: No. The large, consistent frame-rate drops when resolution or preset quality increases indicate the RTX 2060 is the bottleneck, not the Ryzen 5 4600G.

Q: Which preset drops performance the most at 4K?

A: Ultra. At 30.4 avg FPS it delivers less than half the Low preset's 78.6 FPS and roughly half the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: Q: Are minimum frame rates recorded?

A: No. The database holds only average FPS for this game on this combo, so playability is judged against the 60 FPS average threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3716 hardware combinations tested in Downfall, this pairing ranks 2967th. That places it in the lower portion of the field, which makes sense given that the RTX 2060 sits in only the 58th percentile of all GPUs in the database. However, rank is a relative measure: because Downfall is an older title, even a lower-ranked combination delivers frame rates comfortably above the playability threshold at two of the three tested resolutions, and above it at the third with adjusted settings. Players comparing against top-ranked combos would see higher average FPS, but nothing in the recorded data suggests this pairing struggles with the game itself.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Downfall. The recorded data shows:

• 1920x1080: playable on every preset, from Low (172.7 FPS) through Ultra (74.7 FPS). Ultra is the recommended setting.
• 2560x1440: playable on Low (121.4), Medium (101.7), and High (82.6). Only Ultra (54.6) misses the threshold. High is the recommended setting.
• 3840x2160: playable on Low (78.6) and Medium (61.5). High (49.4) and Ultra (30.4) fall short. Medium is the recommended setting, though its 1.5-frame margin is slim.

In short, the Ryzen 5 4600G + RTX 2060 handles Downfall well at 1080p and 1440p, and remains viable at 4K with settings dialed back to Medium or Low.
