Best Settings per Resolution

The database records show that this system exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset combination tested. The key question is how far the settings can be pushed while maintaining playability.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 60.6 FPS. This is a narrow margin, just 0.6 FPS above the playable threshold, indicating that 4K Ultra is right at the edge of what this hardware can sustain. The High preset at this resolution averages 101.7 FPS, providing a substantial safety buffer if frame pacing becomes a concern. Medium averages 120.6 FPS, and Low reaches 151.7 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system has considerably more headroom. The Ultra preset averages 99.4 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable 39.4 FPS margin. High settings run at 161.1 FPS, Medium at 194.6 FPS, and Low at 240.6 FPS. Every preset at this resolution is not only playable but delivers a smooth experience.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 143 FPS, making it the clear choice for maximum visual quality without any playability concerns. High settings reach 226.2 FPS, Medium hits 277.7 FPS, and Low reaches 293.5 FPS. The data indicates that even at the highest settings, the system is nowhere near the performance ceiling at 1080p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database, several other components would produce broadly similar performance in Downfall.

For the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average score of 17482, which is 0.1% below the Ryzen 5 4600G's 17507. This places it as the closest match in raw compute performance. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% lower, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6% higher. The Intel Core i3-14100T completes the rival group with a score of 17648, 0.8% above the Ryzen 5 4600G. Any of these CPUs paired with the RTX 5070 would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Downfall, since the game appears to be far more GPU-bound at most settings.

For the GPU side, the AMD Radeon Pro 580 is the nearest competitor with a score of 40318, just 0.1% below the RTX 5070's 40377. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 scores 40063, 0.8% lower, and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile scores 39568, 2% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870, 1.2% higher than the RTX 5070. In practice, swapping the RTX 5070 for any of these alternatives would yield frame rates within a few percent of the recorded values, though the professional-oriented nature of these rival cards may affect real-world gaming behavior differently than their synthetic scores suggest.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: this system can run Downfall at playable frame rates across all tested configurations. The verdict by resolution confirms that every resolution and every preset combination clears the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset averages 60.6 FPS, which is technically playable but leaves almost no margin for demanding scenes or background processes. The High preset at 101.7 FPS is the safer recommendation for 4K gaming. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 99.4 FPS, offering both maximum visual quality and a comfortable performance buffer. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 143 FPS, making this resolution the sweet spot for the highest settings with substantial headroom.

The narrow margin at 4K Ultra is worth noting. While 60.6 FPS clears the playable threshold, the gap is only 0.6 FPS. Players who prefer consistent frame times might opt for High settings at 4K, which more than doubles the frame rate to 101.7 FPS. The data suggests that 1440p is the optimal resolution for this combination, balancing visual fidelity with performance stability.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling patterns across resolutions and presets reveal which component carries more weight in Downfall.

At 1920x1080, the difference between Low (293.5 FPS) and Ultra (143 FPS) is 150.5 FPS, a 51.3% reduction when moving to maximum settings. This substantial drop indicates that the GPU is heavily engaged even at lower resolutions, with the RTX 5070 doing the bulk of the rendering work. The CPU's role is more pronounced at this resolution, as lower resolution means the GPU can push more frames, which in turn demands more from the processor to keep up with draw calls and game logic.

At 2560x1440, the Low to Ultra gap narrows to 141.2 FPS (240.6 down to 99.4), a 41.3% reduction. The increasing pixel count shifts more load onto the GPU, slightly reducing the CPU bottleneck potential. The RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth become more relevant at this resolution as texture data and frame buffers grow.

At 3840x2160, the Low to Ultra difference is 91.1 FPS (151.7 down to 60.6), a 39.9% reduction. This is the smallest percentage drop, indicating that the GPU is now the clear limiting factor. The CPU has more headroom since the GPU cannot generate frames fast enough to become CPU-bound. The Ryzen 5 4600G's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, appear sufficient to feed the GPU even at 4K.

The data shows that Downfall scales primarily with GPU load. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes progressively more dominant, while at 1080p the CPU's influence is more noticeable. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with its 71st percentile CPU ranking, provides adequate processing power at all resolutions, while the RTX 5070, in the 82nd GPU percentile, is the performance driver.

How This Combo Ranks

This CPU-GPU pairing ranks 799th out of 3716 tested combinations for Downfall, placing it in the top 21.5% of all systems in the database. This rank reflects the balance between the Ryzen 5 4600G's mid-range CPU performance and the RTX 5070's high-end GPU capabilities.

The ranking context is important. The RTX 5070's 82nd percentile GPU standing is significantly higher than the CPU's 71st percentile, suggesting that the GPU is the stronger component in this pairing. In a game like Downfall, where the measured frame rates at 1080p exceed 293 FPS on Low settings, the GPU's headroom is substantial. The system's overall rank of 799 indicates that while it is not among the absolute top-tier combinations, it sits comfortably in the upper fifth of all tested systems.

The delta between CPU and GPU percentiles also hints at upgrade potential. If the CPU were upgraded to a model with a higher percentile ranking, the combo's overall rank would likely improve, since the GPU has demonstrated it can push very high frame rates when the CPU can keep up. Conversely, the current pairing already delivers playable performance at all resolutions, so the rank reflects a system that is well-matched for Downfall's demands.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of recorded measurements for this system in Downfall is as follows:

1920x1080:

• Low: average 293.5 FPS
• Medium: average 277.7 FPS
• High: average 226.2 FPS
• Ultra: average 143 FPS

2560x1440:

• Low: average 240.6 FPS
• Medium: average 194.6 FPS
• High: average 161.1 FPS
• Ultra: average 99.4 FPS

3840x2160:

• Low: average 151.7 FPS
• Medium: average 120.6 FPS
• High: average 101.7 FPS
• Ultra: average 60.6 FPS

The data shows a consistent pattern: each step up in resolution reduces frame rates across all presets, and each step up in settings reduces frame rates within each resolution. The largest absolute drop occurs when moving from 1080p to 1440p on Low settings, a decrease of 52.9 FPS. The smallest absolute drop occurs at 4K between High and Ultra, a decrease of 41.1 FPS, which reflects the GPU approaching its limits at the highest resolution and settings.

Notably, the database records no minimum or maximum FPS values for any configuration, only averages. This means the frame time consistency cannot be assessed from the available data. However, the average values across all twelve tested configurations are high enough that even with typical frame variance, the system should maintain playability in most scenarios. The narrowest margin, 4K Ultra at 60.6 FPS, leaves the least room for frame drops, while every other configuration provides at least 39 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold.
