The Verdict

The data clearly indicates that this PC can run Downfall exceptionally well. The verdict by resolution confirms that all three tested resolutions — 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080 — are fully playable at every settings preset tested.

At 4K, the system achieves playable performance at all settings, with the Ultra preset averaging 60.8 FPS. This is a notable achievement, as it means users with 4K displays can enjoy maximum visual quality without compromising on frame rate. The High preset at 92.5 FPS offers even more headroom for those who prefer higher frame rates over maximum fidelity.

At 1440p, the system excels, with the Ultra preset delivering 96 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate displays in the 100-144 Hz range. The High preset at 147.4 FPS even supports 144 Hz monitors at near-maximum settings.

At 1080p, the system is overkill for most displays, with the Ultra preset achieving 132.8 FPS. The Low preset at 315 FPS demonstrates the combo's ability to push frame rates far beyond typical display refresh rates. This makes the system well-suited for competitive gaming where high frame rates are prioritized.

The combo's rank of 842 out of 3716 tested configurations further validates its capability, placing it in the top 23% of all systems tested. Given the consistent performance across all resolution and settings combinations, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is a reliable choice for running Downfall at maximum quality with playable frame rates.
