Downfall

The Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers measured frame rates in Downfall that place this combo at rank 856 out of 3716 tested system combinations. The CPU sits in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU in the 81st percentile among all GPUs, so both components are well above average. With measured average FPS ranging from 57.1 at 4K Ultra to 311.3 at 1080p Low, the system comfortably clears the 60 FPS playability threshold at most settings, with only the single most demanding preset falling short.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured data ranks this combo 856th of 3716 tested combos in Downfall. That places it in the upper portion of the database, a position consistent with the component-level percentiles: the CPU’s average benchmark score of 25292 puts it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU’s average benchmark score of 37648 puts it in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. The CPU is a 10-core, 16-thread Raptor Lake part with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, a 20 MB shared L3 cache, and support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory. The GPU is an Ada Lovelace chip with 5888 shading units, 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, and 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

In direct benchmark numbers, the CPU produces a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22604 and a single-core score of 3191, while the GPU scores 3854 in 3DMark Steel Nomad. These figures are strong enough that the combo reaches 209.7 FPS at 1080p High, which is far above the 60 FPS threshold. The rank of 856 out of 3716 reflects a system that is clearly positioned for high-refresh gaming in this title, even though the 4K Ultra preset is the only configuration that drops below 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark score, are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25284, 0% delta), the Intel Core 5 120 (25362, -0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365, -0.3%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25201, +0.4%). All of these have average scores within 0.4% of the i5-13400F’s 25292, meaning that in Downfall, a system with any of these CPUs would produce almost identical CPU-bound performance. The difference of a few points is negligible in real gameplay.

For the GPU, the closest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628, +0.1%), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, +0.4%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135, -1.3%), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (37157, +1.3%). The RTX 4070’s score of 37648 is within 1.3% of these alternatives, so swapping in any of them would yield very similar FPS in Downfall. For instance, the Tesla P4 is only 0.1% higher, meaning the difference would be a fraction of a frame per second. The RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% higher, which could translate to a few frames, but the overall experience remains the same.

Because the combo rank is a product of both components, a user with a Ryzen 5 5600X3D instead of the i5-13400F would see essentially identical CPU behavior, and a user with a Vega 56 instead of the RTX 4070 would see nearly identical GPU performance. These alternatives are true equivalents for the purpose of running Downfall.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling across resolutions and presets shows a clear GPU‑limited pattern at higher settings. At 1920x1080 Low, the average reaches 311.3 FPS, which is far beyond typical display refresh rates and indicates that the CPU is not a limiting factor at low settings. At the same resolution, Ultra drops to 129.2 FPS, a large reduction caused by the heavier pixel and shader load on the GPU. The trend continues at 2560x1440: Low yields 224.9 FPS, while Ultra falls to 96.0 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low is 140.2 FPS, and Ultra is 57.1 FPS, the only setting below the 60 FPS threshold.

The CPU’s strong single-thread and multi-thread scores—3191 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 22604 in multi-core—provide enough headroom to maintain high FPS even at 1080p Low. The data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck at any resolution; the GPU becomes the constraint as resolution and preset increase. The 4K Ultra result of 57.1 FPS is just 2.9 FPS below the playability threshold, and the next preset down, 4K High, jumps to 93 FPS. That pattern confirms that the GPU is the primary driver of frame rate in this title, while the CPU is more than sufficient for the 2016 horror game’s engine.

The CPU’s 10 cores and 16 threads are overkill for a game of this generation, but they also help maintain stable FPS in scenes with many dynamic objects. The GPU’s 12 GB of memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are ample for the game’s textures and geometry at all tested settings.

The Verdict

The system can run Downfall at 60 FPS or higher at every resolution except 4K Ultra. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are Low (140.2 FPS), Medium (113.2 FPS), and High (93.0 FPS); Ultra is not playable because it averages 57.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four settings are playable, including Ultra at 96.0 FPS. At 1920x1080, all settings are playable, with Ultra at 129.2 FPS. Therefore, the i5-13400F + RTX 4070 combo is fully capable of running Downfall at smooth frame rates for most configurations. The only situation where a player would need to lower settings is when targeting 4K Ultra, where dropping to High restores a comfortable margin above 60 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is:

• 3840x2160: High settings — average FPS 93.0
• 2560x1440: Ultra settings — average FPS 96.0
• 1920x1080: Ultra settings — average FPS 129.2

These are the highest quality presets that meet the 60 FPS playability criterion. The 4K Ultra preset is the only one that fails, so it is not included in the recommended list.
