Downfall

Downfall is a horror game from 2016. This benchmark page covers the Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600, using measured frame rates at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 13494, placing it at the 68th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 15171, placing it at the 57th percentile of all GPUs. The playable threshold is 60 FPS. The data shows that this combo clears 60 FPS at 1080p on all settings, at 1440p up to High, and at 4K only on Low and Medium.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i3-12100F has an average benchmark score of 13494. Its nearest rivals are extremely close. The Intel Core 3 N355 scores 13492 with a deltaPct of 0. The Intel Core i5-9500 scores 13452 with a deltaPct of 0.3. The Intel Core 5 120UL scores 13594 with a deltaPct of -0.7. The Intel Core i7-1250U scores 13351 with a deltaPct of 1.1. All four rivals sit within roughly one point of the i3-12100F in average benchmark score, so any of them would behave similarly in general CPU workloads. For a game like Downfall, where the CPU is not the dominant scaling factor, swapping to one of these nearby parts should produce similar CPU-side behavior.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 has an average benchmark score of 15171. Its nearest rivals are also tightly grouped. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199 with a deltaPct of -0.2. The AMD Radeon Pro 560X scores 15082 with a deltaPct of 0.6. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270 with a deltaPct of -0.7. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti scores 15063 with a deltaPct of 0.7. These deltaPct values are all within one point of the RX 7600, meaning the GPU performance envelope is nearly identical across these alternatives. In Downfall, the measured frame rates from this combo are the reference point; any of these rival GPUs would be expected to land in a similar FPS range, though exact settings behavior may vary.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data makes it clear that the GPU is the primary scaling component in Downfall. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo averages 191.2 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 138.9 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it falls to 86.3 FPS. This consistent drop with resolution indicates that the GPU is carrying most of the load as pixel count increases.

The same pattern appears on higher presets. At 1920x1080 Ultra, the average is 78.8 FPS. At 2560x1440 Ultra, it drops to 56.4 FPS. At 3840x2160 Ultra, it falls to 39.1 FPS. The CPU’s single-thread Passmark score is 3444, and its multithread score is 14015. Those numbers, combined with the CPU’s 68th percentile ranking, suggest that the i3-12100F is not the limiting factor at these frame rates. The GPU sits at the 57th percentile, which is lower than the CPU’s percentile, and the frame rate scaling tracks GPU load rather than CPU load.

At 1080p, the CPU is capable of feeding high frame rates. Low settings hit 191.2 FPS, Medium hits 160.5 FPS, High hits 126.9 FPS, and Ultra still reaches 78.8 FPS. The differences between presets are driven by GPU work. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the obvious bottleneck. For example, at 4K the progression is 86.3 FPS on Low, 71.4 on Medium, 55.9 on High, and 39.1 on Ultra. The step from Medium to High at 4K crosses below the 60 FPS threshold, which points directly at GPU rendering cost rather than CPU limitations.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Downfall at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings?

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 1080p Ultra is 78.8, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra is listed as a playable setting at this resolution.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 2560x1440?

A: High is the best playable setting at 1440p, with an average of 92.8 FPS. Low and Medium also clear 60 FPS, but Ultra drops to 56.4 FPS, which is below the threshold.

Q: Is 4K playable with this combo?

A: Only on Low and Medium. At 4K Low the average is 86.3 FPS, and at 4K Medium it is 71.4 FPS. High averages 55.9 FPS and Ultra averages 39.1 FPS, both below 60 FPS.

Q: Which component is more likely to limit performance in Downfall?

A: The GPU. The CPU sits at the 68th percentile and the GPU at the 57th percentile. Frame rates drop sharply as resolution and settings increase, which is the expected pattern when the GPU is the main constraint.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested systems for Downfall?

A: It ranks 2536 out of 3716 tested combos. That places it in the lower portion of the field, despite the CPU and GPU both having mid-range percentile scores.

The Verdict

This PC can run Downfall, but the playable settings depend heavily on resolution. The playable threshold is 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the playable settings are Low and Medium. Low averages 86.3 FPS, and Medium averages 71.4 FPS. Medium is the best setting at 4K because it stays above 60 FPS while offering higher visual quality than Low. High at 4K averages 55.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 39.1 FPS, so neither is playable.

At 2560x1440, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium. High is the best playable setting, averaging 92.8 FPS. Low averages 138.9 FPS and Medium averages 110.7 FPS. Ultra averages 56.4 FPS, just below the 60 FPS threshold, so it should be avoided for smooth play.

At 1920x1080, every setting is playable. Low averages 191.2 FPS, Medium averages 160.5 FPS, High averages 126.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 78.8 FPS. Ultra is the best setting at 1080p because it clears 60 FPS with a comfortable margin.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset includes average FPS values for each resolution and settings combination. Minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded, so only averages are shown.

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 160.5 | — | — |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 78.8 | — | — |

The data shows a clear pattern. At every resolution, Low produces the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra last. The margin between Low and Ultra shrinks as resolution increases, but the order never changes. At 4K, the gap between Medium and High is the critical one: Medium stays above 60 FPS at 71.4, while High falls to 55.9.

How This Combo Ranks

In Downfall, this Intel Core i3-12100F + AMD Radeon RX 7600 combo ranks 2536 out of 3716 tested combos. That is a mid-to-low placement in the overall field. The CPU’s 68th percentile and the GPU’s 57th percentile show that neither component is at the bottom of its respective market, but the in-game rank indicates that many other pairings deliver higher frame rates in this specific title.

The measured frame rates explain why. At 1080p, the combo is strong enough to run Ultra at 78.8 FPS. At 1440p, it can handle High at 92.8 FPS. At 4K, it is limited to Medium at 71.4 FPS. The rank of 2536 reflects that this is a capable 1080p and 1440p setup, but not a high-end 4K solution. For a horror game like Downfall, the practical takeaway is straightforward: use Ultra at 1080p, High at 1440p, and Medium at 4K to stay above the 60 FPS threshold.
