Downfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is an extreme pairing, but this benchmark data for Downfall shows it handles the game with massive headroom. The RTX 5090 is a top-tier GPU, and the Ryzen 5 7500F is a solid Zen 4 processor, and the measured frame rates reflect that combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160 (4K), the highest playable preset is Ultra, which delivers an average of 84 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, and the data confirms that even the most demanding settings are viable. High settings at this resolution push the average to 135 FPS, while Medium and Low reach 164 FPS and 201 FPS respectively.

Moving to 2560x1440 (1440p), the Ultra preset also clears the playable threshold with an average of 135 FPS. The scaling is substantial, with High at 217 FPS, Medium at 264 FPS, and Low at 323 FPS. At this resolution, the GPU still has considerable performance to spare, making Ultra the obvious choice for visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the Ultra preset achieves an average of 190 FPS. This is the best settings scenario across all tested resolutions, as the lower pixel count reduces the load on the GPU. High settings reach 303 FPS, Medium is at 370 FPS, and Low delivers 428 FPS. The data indicates that the RTX 5090 is not a bottleneck at 1080p, and the frame rates are exceptionally high across the board.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary performance driver in Downfall, but the CPU's role becomes more apparent as resolution decreases. The performance scaling between resolutions and presets shows a clear pattern.

Comparing 4K Ultra (84 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (135 FPS), the frame rate increases by roughly 60% when the resolution drops. This is a significant jump, indicating that the GPU's rendering workload is the main constraint at higher resolutions. The RTX 5090's capabilities, such as its 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth, directly influence these numbers.

At 1440p vs 1080p, the difference narrows. 1080p Ultra (190 FPS) is about 40% faster than 1440p Ultra (135 FPS). While the GPU is still heavily involved, the CPU's ability to feed frames becomes more relevant at lower resolutions. The Ryzen 5 7500F's performance, evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22799 and single-core score of 3218, helps sustain these high frame rates. The 6-core, 12-thread processor with a 5.00 GHz boost clock is sufficient to keep up with the RTX 5090, even at 1080p where 428 FPS on Low settings is achieved.

The data suggests that at 4K, the GPU is the dominant factor. Moving to 1440p and 1080p, the CPU's contribution become more noticeable, but neither component appears to be a limiting factor for achieving playable frame rates. The game is not particularly demanding on the CPU, as the Ryzen 5 7500F's scores place it in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, which is more than adequate for this title's engine.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F's nearest rivals show that its performance is closely matched by several other processors. The Intel Core i7-11850H has an average score of 24935, which is a 0.1% difference from the Ryzen's 24964 average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25005, putting it -0.2% relative to the 7500F. The Intel Core i7-13620H is at 24911 (0.2% delta), and the Intel Core 5 210H is at 24872 (0.4% delta). In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Downfall, as the differences are within a fraction of a percent.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090's nearest rivals are an interesting mix. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB has an average score of 79605, a 0.3% difference from the RTX 5090's 79842 average benchmark score. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB scores 79396 (0.6% delta), and the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT is at 78940 (1.1% delta). The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X scores 80959, which is -1.4% relative to the RTX 5090. While these GPUs may have different feature sets and power requirements, the benchmark data suggests they would produce similar frame rates in Downfall at the same settings and resolution.

It is importantly these rivals are not direct consumer equivalents, but for the purposes of this game's performance, the data shows they are statistically close. If someone were building a system with one of these alternatives, they should expect comparable FPS numbers in Downfall.

The Verdict

This PC configuration can absolutely run Downfall, and it does so with exceptional performance. According to the `verdictByResolution` data, all tested settings are playable at every resolution.

At 3840x2160, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra. The best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 84, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 2560x1440, all settings are also playable, and Ultra is the best choice with an average of 135 FPS. The same applies to 1920x1080, where Ultra delivers 190 FPS.

The data shows that the system clears the 60 FPS threshold with significant margin in every scenario. The lowest average FPS recorded is 84 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is still 40% above the playable threshold. There is no configuration in the measured data where the frame rate drops below 60 FPS. This means users can max out the settings at any resolution and enjoy a smooth experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across resolutions and settings.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 84 on Ultra to 201 on Low. Medium settings show an average of 164 FPS, with a minimum of 140 FPS and a maximum of 189 FPS. High settings average 135 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is significant, showing a 117 FPS difference, which indicates the graphical settings have a major impact at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the averages are higher. Ultra averages 135 FPS, High averages 217 FPS, Medium averages 264 FPS with a min of 225 FPS and max of 304 FPS, and Low averages 323 FPS. The jump from 4K to 1440p is substantial, with the Ultra preset gaining 51 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the performance is exceptional. Ultra averages 190 FPS, High averages 303 FPS, Medium averages 370 FPS with a min of 314 FPS and a max of 425 FPS, and Low averages 428 FPS. The min FPS values recorded for Medium settings at all resolutions stay far above the 60 FPS threshold, confirming consistent performance.

The data shows a clear trend: as resolution decreases, the average FPS increases across all settings. The RTX 5090's powerful GPU is the main reason for this, but the Ryzen 5 7500F ensures the CPU does not hold back the frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database for Downfall, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks 86th out of 3716 tested combos. This places it in the top 2.3% of all configurations tested for this game.

This ranking is a direct result of the RTX 5090's dominance in the GPU benchmarks, where it sits in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs. The CPU is not the top performer, being in the 77th percentile, but it is more than sufficient to support the GPU's performance in this title. The high rank indicates that very few other hardware combinations will deliver better frame rates in Downfall. The data confirms that this is a high-end setup that excels at running this game with maximum settings at high resolutions.
