Downfall

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, this combination delivers frame rates that are far beyond what a 60 FPS display can show. The Low preset averages 296.7 FPS, which is the highest recorded value for this combo at any resolution. Medium follows at 255.8 FPS, High at 209.7 FPS, and even the demanding Ultra preset holds an average of 130.6 FPS. Every preset at 1080p clears the playable threshold by a substantial margin, with the Ultra preset still more than doubling the 60 FPS target.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. Low averages 225.2 FPS, Medium drops to 183.1 FPS, and High sits at 147.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p records an average of 90.4 FPS, which is still comfortably above 60 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable reduction in performance, but the margin to the playable threshold remains wide across all four presets.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes noticeably. The Low preset averages 137.7 FPS, Medium drops to 115 FPS, and High averages 93 FPS. These three presets all remain above the 60 FPS playable line. The Ultra preset, however, averages 59.8 FPS, which lands just below the 60 FPS threshold. This is the only measured configuration in the entire dataset that fails to reach playable frame rates. The gap between High at 93 FPS and Ultra at 59.8 FPS is a steep 33.2 FPS drop, indicating that the Ultra preset at 4K imposes a particularly heavy load.

The database records no minimum or maximum frame rate values for any resolution or preset, so the analysis relies entirely on average frame rates. The data shows a consistent pattern: resolution scaling affects all presets proportionally, but the Ultra preset at 4K is the sole point where the combination stumbles.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Downfall at 4K with High settings?

A: Yes. The measured average frame rate at 3840x2160 with High settings is 93 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with 33 FPS to spare. High is listed as the best playable setting at 4K in the database.

Q: What is the highest preset that reaches 60 FPS at 4K?

A: High is the highest preset at 3840x2160 that stays above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 59.8 FPS, which misses the playable threshold by just 0.2 FPS. Low and Medium also qualify as playable at 4K, with averages of 137.7 FPS and 115 FPS respectively.

Q: How does the Ultra preset perform at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440 with Ultra settings, the average frame rate is 90.4 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS threshold, and the database lists Ultra as the best settings option at this resolution. All four presets at 1440p are playable.

Q: Is the frame rate at 1080p high enough for a 144 Hz monitor?

A: Yes, for all presets except Ultra. At 1920x1080, Low averages 296.7 FPS, Medium averages 255.8 FPS, and High averages 209.7 FPS. Ultra averages 130.6 FPS, which still exceeds 120 FPS but falls short of 144 FPS. If the target is 144 FPS, High or lower presets are required.

Q: Which resolution offers the best balance of visual quality and headroom?

A: The data suggests 2560x1440 with Ultra settings is the strongest choice. It delivers 90.4 FPS, which is 30.4 FPS above the playable threshold, while using the highest quality preset. At 4K, the best playable preset is High at 93 FPS, but Ultra is not viable there.

Q: Does the combination ever drop below 60 FPS in the measured data?

A: Only in one case. The 3840x2160 Ultra preset averages 59.8 FPS, which is just under the 60 FPS mark. Every other resolution and preset combination in the dataset averages above 60 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The frame rate scaling across resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases, while the CPU has enough headroom to keep up at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates range from 130.6 FPS on Ultra to 296.7 FPS on Low. These high numbers suggest that the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of feeding the GeForce RTX 4070 sufficiently at this resolution. The 4600G boosts to 4.20 GHz and scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multicore, which places it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs in the database. That level of CPU performance is not a bottleneck at 1080p for this game.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates drop by roughly 25% to 30% compared to 1080p for the same presets. For example, High goes from 209.7 FPS at 1080p to 147.5 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 62.2 FPS. Medium drops from 255.8 FPS to 183.1 FPS, and Low from 296.7 FPS to 225.2 FPS. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario: the render resolution increases, the GPU workload rises, and the frame rate falls accordingly. The CPU still has ample capacity, as evidenced by the fact that even the lowest preset at 1440p stays above 225 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 77.9 FPS (137.7 FPS versus 59.8 FPS), whereas at 1080p the same gap is 166.1 FPS (296.7 FPS versus 130.6 FPS). The smaller absolute spread at 4K indicates that the GPU is hitting its ceiling across all presets, and the settings-based scaling becomes compressed. The Ultra preset at 4K falls below 60 FPS, which strongly suggests that the RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are being saturated at this resolution with the highest quality settings. The GPU's 5888 shading units and 64 ROPs are simply not enough to maintain 60 FPS under that load.

The CPU's role is more pronounced at 1080p, where the frame rates are high enough that the 4600G's single-thread performance (1919 in Cinebench R23 single-core) becomes relevant. However, even at 1080p Ultra, the 130.6 FPS average indicates that the CPU is not a severe bottleneck. The database shows no stutter or minimum FPS data, so the analysis cannot speak to frame pacing, but the average frame rates across all resolutions point to a GPU-centric performance profile for this title.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are all within a narrow performance band. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average benchmark score of 17482, which is just 0.1% below the 4600G's 17507. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, a 0.6% difference, and the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, which is 0.6% faster. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, putting it 0.8% ahead. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Downfall, as the performance deltas are within the margin of measurement noise. Builders who cannot find the 4600G in stock could swap in any of these four chips without expecting a meaningful change in game performance.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070's nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628, which is 0.1% below the RTX 4070's 37648 average. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507, a 0.4% deficit, and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 scores 37157, which is 1.3% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile scores 38135, putting it 1.3% ahead. These deltas are all small enough that the gaming experience in Downfall would be essentially indistinguishable. The RTX 4080 Mobile might offer a slight edge in the most demanding scenario (4K Ultra), but the 1.3% difference would not push the 59.8 FPS average above 60 FPS in a meaningful way. Conversely, the RX Vega 56 and PRO W6400 would likely produce marginally lower frame rates, but none of these alternatives would change the overall verdict for this game.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at 1005 out of 3716 tested combos for Downfall. That places it in the top 27% of all systems tested, which is a solid position for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The rank reflects the fact that the RTX 4070 carries most of the performance weight, while the 4600G is adequate but not exceptional. The combo's percentile position suggests that a significant number of tested systems achieve higher frame rates, likely those pairing the RTX 4070 with stronger CPUs or those using higher-end GPUs altogether.

The rank of 1005 out of 3716 is consistent with the measured frame rates. At 1080p, the system delivers over 200 FPS on High settings, which is excellent for competitive play. At 1440p, it stays above 90 FPS on Ultra, which is a strong result for a high-refresh monitor. At 4K, it only misses the 60 FPS mark on Ultra, which is a minor shortcoming. The rank would be higher if the CPU were stronger, but the 4600G's 71st percentile standing among all CPUs holds the combo back from the top tier. For a builder prioritizing GPU performance over CPU headroom, this rank is reassuring: the system is far from the bottom and delivers playable frame rates in the vast majority of scenarios.

The Verdict

This PC can run Downfall, and it does so impressively well in most configurations. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold with enormous headroom. The Ultra preset averages 130.6 FPS, which means even the most demanding settings at 1080p are more than playable. At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra averaging 90.4 FPS and High at 147.5 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is the standout configuration: it offers the best visual quality while maintaining a comfortable 30.4 FPS margin above the playable line.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is mixed. High, Medium, and Low presets all average above 60 FPS, with High at 93 FPS being the best playable option. The Ultra preset averages 59.8 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS threshold by a razor-thin 0.2 FPS. The database lists High as the best settings at 4K, and that recommendation is sound: 93 FPS at 4K High is a strong result, and the drop to Ultra is not worth the visual gain given the frame rate penalty. For users with a 4K display, the system should be configured with High settings to maintain a smooth experience. For 1080p or 1440p displays, the system can be run at Ultra without any concerns. The only configuration to avoid is 4K Ultra, where the frame rate falls just short of playable.
