Downfall

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 72 FPS. Medium also clears the threshold at 88 FPS, and Low runs at 107 FPS, but High delivers the best visual quality while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable floor. Ultra falls short at 45 FPS, so it is not viable at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, Ultra becomes the best playable setting, averaging 72 FPS. That is the same average as High at 4K, which shows how much headroom the GPU has when pixel count drops. High runs at 116 FPS, Medium at 141 FPS, and Low at 173 FPS, all well above the 60 FPS threshold. Since Ultra clears the bar, there is no reason to settle for lower presets here.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the clear choice, averaging 101 FPS. High reaches 162 FPS, Medium hits 198 FPS, and Low runs at 242 FPS. Every preset is far above 60 FPS, so the only question is whether you prefer maximum fidelity or maximum frame rates. For a horror title, the extra smoothness from High or Medium might be preferable, but Ultra remains comfortably playable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a clear pattern: this game scales primarily with resolution, and the GPU carries most of the load as pixel count increases. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, average FPS at Ultra drops from 101 to 72, a 29 FPS reduction. Going from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Ultra, the average falls from 72 to 45, another 27 FPS drop. That consistent scaling across resolutions indicates the RTX 5060 is the limiting factor at higher settings, not the Ryzen 5 4600G.

At lower resolutions, the CPU becomes relatively more important. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo hits 242 FPS, which is far beyond what a GPU-bound workload would produce if the processor were weak. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with 6 cores and 12 threads, keeps up well enough that the GPU can stretch its legs. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 141 FPS (242 vs 101), which is a massive spread and suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck even at the highest preset.

At 3840x2160, the spread between Low and Ultra narrows to 62 FPS (107 vs 45). That tighter range at 4K is typical of a GPU-bound scenario: the graphics card is doing so much work that preset changes have less relative impact on the frame rate. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution climbs, and the data supports that interpretation. The Ryzen 5 4600G's single-thread and multi-thread scores (Cinebench R23 single-core 1919, multi-core 13593) are sufficient for this title, which appears to favor GPU throughput over CPU compute.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database, this combination ranks 1642 out of 3716 tested combos for Downfall. That places it in the upper half of all systems tested, roughly the 56th percentile. For a mid-range CPU paired with a current-generation GPU, that ranking is respectable but not exceptional. The game is a 2016 horror title, so it does not demand high-end hardware, and the RTX 5060 provides enough power to push this combo ahead of many older or less balanced pairings.

The rank reflects the balance between the Ryzen 5 4600G and the RTX 5060. The GPU sits at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU is at the 71st percentile among all CPUs. Neither component is drastically weaker than the other, which helps the combo perform consistently across resolutions. If the CPU were much slower, the 1080p frame rates would suffer; if the GPU were weaker, the 4K results would collapse. As it stands, the pairing is well matched for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average benchmark score of 17482, just 0.1% below the Ryzen 5 4600G's 17507. That processor would behave nearly identically in Downfall, though it has fewer cores and threads, so multi-threaded workloads outside gaming might differ. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, which is 0.6% higher, and the Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% lower. The Intel Core i3-14100T sits 0.8% higher at 17648. All four alternatives are within 1% of the Ryzen 5 4600G in average benchmark performance, so any of them would produce virtually the same frame rates in this game.

For the GPU, the closest rivals are the AMD Radeon 860M and the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, both with average scores within 0.3% of the RTX 5060. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary is 0.8% below, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is 1.2% higher. In practical terms, swapping the RTX 5060 for any of these would change average FPS by less than 2% in most scenarios. For Downfall specifically, the RX 6750 XT might edge out the RTX 5060 by a few frames at 4K Ultra, but the difference would be minor. The MX550 and Radeon 860M are lower-power parts, yet their benchmark scores suggest they would hold up similarly in this undemanding title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a wide range of performance across presets. Low averages 242 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum. Medium averages 198 FPS, with a minimum of 168 and a maximum of 227. High averages 162 FPS, and Ultra averages 101 FPS. The lack of min/max data for Low, High, and Ultra makes it harder to assess frame-time stability, but the Medium numbers suggest consistent performance: the spread between min and max is 59 FPS, which is large but typical for a horror game with variable scene complexity.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 173 FPS, Medium averages 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 and a maximum of 162, High averages 116 FPS, and Ultra averages 72 FPS. The Medium min/max spread is 42 FPS, tighter than at 1080p, which indicates the GPU is smoothing out frame delivery as the workload becomes more consistent. The step from High to Ultra is notable: 116 to 72 FPS, a 44 FPS drop. That is the largest single-preset gap at this resolution, so Ultra carries a real cost.

At 3840x2160, Low averages 107 FPS, Medium averages 88 FPS with a minimum of 75 and a maximum of 101, High averages 72 FPS, and Ultra drops to 45 FPS. The Medium min/max spread is 26 FPS, the narrowest of any resolution, which reinforces that the GPU is fully saturated at 4K. The gap between High and Ultra is 27 FPS (72 to 45), meaning Ultra is the only preset that fails to reach 60 FPS. For players with 4K displays, High is the ceiling for smooth play.

The Verdict

This PC can run Downfall, and it does so comfortably at most resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, every preset clears 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 101 FPS. That means a 1080p player can max out the settings and still have plenty of headroom for dips during intense scenes. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 72 FPS, which also clears the threshold. High, Medium, and Low are all far above 60 FPS as well, so 1440p owners have full freedom to choose their preferred balance.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is more nuanced. High, Low, and Medium all stay above 60 FPS, with High averaging 72 FPS and Medium at 88 FPS. Ultra falls to 45 FPS, so 4K users must avoid the highest preset. For a horror game, where smooth motion is critical for atmosphere, High at 4K is the sensible choice. The 72 FPS average provides enough margin that even poorly optimized scenes should stay near the playable floor.

The Ryzen 5 4600G is not holding this system back in Downfall. The data shows the GPU dictating performance at higher resolutions, and the CPU keeping pace at 1080p. If you own this combo, the practical takeaway is simple: play at Ultra for 1080p or 1440p, and drop to High if you are on a 4K display. The game is old enough that this hardware is overkill for most settings, but the 4K Ultra case is the one exception. For a horror title that relies on tension and pacing, the frame rates here are more than sufficient.
