Downfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a playable experience in Downfall, but the headroom varies sharply across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the combo clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset, while 2560x1440 remains comfortable at High settings and 3840x2160 demands a drop to Low. The measured data shows a system that is well-balanced for 1080p gaming, with diminishing returns as pixel count climbs.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for this combination are complete for three resolutions and four quality presets, with min/max data recorded only for the Medium preset at each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the combo is never below the playable threshold. Low settings produce an average of 163 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded at any resolution in this test. Medium settings drop to 133 FPS average, with a minimum of 113 FPS and a maximum of 153 FPS. High settings average 109 FPS, while Ultra still holds at 68 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra is 95 FPS, indicating that the game scales heavily with preset quality at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the averages step down noticeably. Low settings deliver 116 FPS, which remains well above 60 FPS. Medium settings average 95 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 81 FPS and a maximum of 110 FPS. High settings produce 78 FPS average, which is still comfortably playable. Ultra settings fall to 49 FPS average, dropping below the 60 FPS threshold. The delta between Low and Ultra here is 67 FPS, a smaller absolute gap than at 1080p but a larger proportional drop.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playability at higher presets. Low settings average 72 FPS, which clears the threshold. Medium settings average 59 FPS, with a minimum of 50 FPS and a maximum of 68 FPS — the average is just one frame below the 60 FPS line. High settings drop to 49 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 30 FPS average. The spread from Low to Ultra is 42 FPS, showing that 4K resolution compresses the performance range significantly.

The Medium preset data provides the only min/max figures in the entire dataset. At 1080p the minimum of 113 FPS shows no risk of stutter, at 1440p the minimum of 81 FPS stays above the threshold, and at 4K the minimum of 50 FPS confirms that even the average of 59 FPS is accompanied by occasional dips below playable levels.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 3,716 tested combinations in this game, this CPU-GPU pairing ranks 2,988th. That places it in the lower portion of the field, roughly in the 20th percentile of all tested combos. The rank of 2,988 out of 3,716 indicates that a large majority of other hardware pairings deliver higher average FPS in Downfall.

The ranking reflects the mid-range positioning of both components. The CPU sits at the 74th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile against all GPUs. When combined, the pairing does not reach the top quartile of system performance in this title. The data suggests that the GPU is the more limiting factor for overall ranking, as its percentile is lower than the CPU's.

The rank of 2,988 out of 3,716 means there are 728 tested combos that perform worse. This is not a bottom-tier result, but it is also far from the upper echelon. In practical terms, this combo will handle Downfall at 1080p with authority but will not compete with high-end systems at 4K Ultra settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals which component drives performance in Downfall. At 1920x1080, the jump from Low to Ultra costs 95 FPS, suggesting the GPU is the primary bottleneck as settings increase. The CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, has enough headroom to feed the Arc B570 at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the performance drop across presets is 67 FPS. This smaller absolute delta indicates that the GPU is beginning to saturate, but the CPU is still keeping pace. The Medium preset minimum of 81 FPS shows no CPU-related frame time spikes.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes. The gap from Low to Ultra shrinks to 42 FPS, and even Low settings only reach 72 FPS average. This is a clear sign that the GPU is now the dominant constraint. The Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus with 380 GB/s bandwidth is being pushed to its limit at 4K, regardless of preset.

The CPU's role is more evident when comparing resolution scaling at the same preset. For Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p costs 47 FPS, and moving from 1440p to 4K costs 44 FPS. This relatively even drop suggests the GPU is the limiter even at Low settings. For Ultra settings, the drops are 19 FPS from 1080p to 1440p and 19 FPS from 1440p to 4K, which is a much shallower curve — the GPU is so overburdened at 4K Ultra that resolution scaling has diminishing impact.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the system is reasonably balanced, with the GPU handling most of the load as settings rise. At 1440p, the GPU starts to become the primary bottleneck. At 4K, the GPU is unequivocally the limiting component, and no CPU upgrade would meaningfully improve frame rates at this resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, are all within a fraction of a percent of its performance. The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20,802, which is 0.3% lower than the Ryzen 5 5600GT's 20,733 average. The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20,821, 0.4% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125U scores 20,826, also 0.4% higher. The AMD EPYC 7J13 scores 20,845, 0.5% higher. These four alternatives would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Downfall.

The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar pattern. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20,534, which is 0.1% lower than the Arc B570's 20,556. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20,582, 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20,480, 0.4% lower. The AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20,662, 0.5% higher. Any of these GPUs would produce essentially the same frame rates in this game.

For a user considering this combo, swapping to any of these rival components would not change the measured FPS figures in a meaningful way. The deltas are all under half a percent, which is within run-to-run variance for most benchmark tests. The practical takeaway is that the Ryzen 5 5600GT and Arc B570 sit in a tightly clustered performance band, and nearby hardware will behave almost identically.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the only preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, which averages 72 FPS. Medium falls one frame short at 59 FPS, so it does not qualify. The most demanding playable preset at 4K is therefore Low, with a measured average of 72 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the playable presets are High, Low, and Medium. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which averages 78 FPS. Medium averages 95 FPS and Low averages 116 FPS, but High is the best visual quality that maintains playability. Ultra drops to 49 FPS and is not viable.

At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS line. The most demanding preset is Ultra, which averages 68 FPS. High averages 109 FPS, Medium averages 133 FPS, and Low averages 163 FPS. Since Ultra stays above the threshold, it is the recommended setting for maximum visual fidelity at this resolution.

The Verdict

This PC can run Downfall, but the playable envelope is defined by resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS at every preset, including Ultra at 68 FPS average. This is the sweet spot for the combo.

At 2560x1440, the system clears 60 FPS at High, Medium, and Low settings. High averages 78 FPS, which is the best playable preset. Ultra falls to 49 FPS and is not playable.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings clear the threshold, averaging 72 FPS. Medium averages 59 FPS, just below the line, and High at 49 FPS and Ultra at 30 FPS are not playable.

The verdict by resolution confirms this: 1080p supports High, Low, Medium, and Ultra; 1440p supports High, Low, and Medium; 4K supports only Low. The 60 FPS threshold is the dividing line, and the data shows clear breaks at each resolution.
