CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Downfall shows the GPU is the dominant component for determining which settings are playable at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low settings at 96 FPS and Ultra at 40 FPS is 56 FPS, while High settings reach 64 FPS and Medium reach 78 FPS. The 1080p results show a clear pattern: the GPU handles the rendering load at lower resolutions, and the CPU provides enough performance to keep frame rates above 60 FPS for High settings. At 2560x1440, Low settings average 68 FPS, High settings average 46 FPS, and Medium averages 56 FPS, with Ultra falling to 29 FPS. The 1440p results show the GPU becomes a bottleneck as rendering load increases, and High settings drop below 60 FPS at 46 FPS.

At 3840x2160, Low settings average 43 FPS, High settings average 29 FPS, Medium averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 18 FPS. The 4K results show that no setting reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold, with the GPU being the limiting factor. The CPU has a 105 W TDP, 6 cores, and 12 threads, and its passmark single-thread score of 2941 and passmark multithread score of 20363 indicate it provides enough performance for the game's horror genre workloads. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, 20 ROPs, and 10 RT cores, with a 300 MHz base clock and 2400 MHz boost clock, and these specifications align with the GPU being the primary constraint in Downfall at higher resolutions.

The measured FPS data shows that at 1920x1080, the difference between Low and High settings is 32 FPS, which indicates the GPU is handling the resolution scaling well. At 2560x1440, the difference between Low and High is 22 FPS, and at 3840x2160, the difference between Low and High is 14 FPS. This shows that the GPU is the primary factor in determining playability, with the CPU providing sufficient performance. The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU and GPU can maintain 60 FPS at High settings, at 64 FPS, Medium at 78 FPS, Low at 96 FPS, and Ultra at 40 FPS, with the GPU being the bottleneck at 4K Ultra settings.
