Downfall

FAQ

Q: What is the highest quality preset that maintains at least 60 FPS at 1920x1080?

A: The High preset achieves an average of 62.3 FPS at 1920x1080, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Low preset reaches 89.8 FPS and Medium reaches 74.4 FPS, but High is the most demanding of the playable settings at this resolution.

Q: Is this combination capable of running Downfall at 4K?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the best recorded average is 41.6 FPS on Low settings, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The High preset averages 27.8 FPS, Medium averages 32.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 17.6 FPS, so no 4K preset is playable.

Q: How does the Intel Core i5-14600KF compare to its closest rivals in synthetic workloads?

A: The database shows the i5-14600KF has an average benchmark score of 49394. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 scores 49228, placing it 0.3% behind. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G scores 49196, 0.4% behind. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 scores 48995, 0.8% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 scores 49796, which is 0.8% ahead of the i5-14600KF.

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

A: Only the Low preset clears 60 FPS at 2560x1440, with an average of 65.9 FPS. Medium averages 55.6 FPS, High averages 46 FPS, and Ultra averages 26.2 FPS, so none of those reach the playable threshold.

Q: How does the AMD Radeon RX 570 rank among all GPUs in the database?

A: The RX 570 sits at the 74th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 28766. Its closest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 6800M with a score of 28874, which is 0.4% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 470 scores 28996, 0.8% higher, while the AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28580, 0.7% lower, and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 scores 28421, 1.2% lower.

Q: What overall ranking does this CPU and GPU combination achieve in Downfall?

A: The combination ranks 3543rd out of 3716 tested combinations in the database for this game. This places it in the lower portion of tested hardware configurations, which aligns with the 4K results showing no playable presets at that resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 62.3 FPS. The database records the Low preset at 89.8 FPS and Medium at 74.4 FPS, but High is the highest visual quality option that remains playable. The Ultra preset drops to 39.4 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the only preset that clears 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 65.9 FPS. Medium falls to 55.6 FPS, High drops to 46 FPS, and Ultra averages 26.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at this resolution is 10.3 FPS, which is a significant step down in performance for one tier of visual quality.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the playable threshold. The strongest result is Low at 41.6 FPS, followed by Medium at 32.4 FPS, High at 27.8 FPS, and Ultra at 17.6 FPS. Since the playable threshold is 60 FPS, the database does not assign a best settings value for 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU side first, the Intel Core i5-14600KF has an average benchmark score of 49394, with a 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 is nearby at 49228, just 0.3% lower. A user swapping to the Ryzen 9 7900 would see nearly identical synthetic performance in general workloads. The AMD Ryzen 9 7900 and the Intel Core i5-14600KF are close enough that differences in Downfall performance should be minimal. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G sits at 49196, 0.4% lower, making it effectively equivalent in terms of overall CPU capability in the database's measurements. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245 at 48995 is 0.8% lower, still a small gap from the i5-14600KF. On the other side, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 at 49796 represents a 0.8% lead over the i5-14600KF, making it the nearest rival that would outperform this CPU by a small margin.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 570 has an average score of 28876 in the database and ranks at the 74th percentile among all GPUs. The AMD Radeon RX 6800M at 28874 is 0.4% behind, which is the closest rival. The AMD Radeon RX 470 at 28996 is 0.8% higher, meaning a system with the RX 470 would behave nearly identically to the RX 570 in this game. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X at 28580 is 0.7% lower, offering a very similar gaming experience, while the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 at 28421 is 1.2% lower, still within a small performance window of the RX 570. Users considering any of these alternatives should expect comparable FPS in Downfall, as the delta in average benchmark scores is under 1.2% for all four listed rivals.

The database shows that both the CPU and GPU have rivals within 1% of their average scores, meaning the performance envelope around this hardware combination is tight. The measured FPS results for Downfall, such as 62.3 FPS at 1920x1080 High and 65.9 FPS at 2560x1440 Low, should be representative of what these nearby alternatives would produce.

The Verdict

The database data is clear on whether this PC can run Downfall. At 1920x1080 resolution, the answer is yes for multiple presets. The High preset averages 62.3 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Low preset averages 89.8 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 74.4 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 39.4 FPS, below the threshold. At 2560x1440, only the Low preset clears 60 FPS, with an average of 65.9 FPS. Medium at 55.6 FPS, High at 46 FPS, and Ultra at 26.2 FPS all miss the playable threshold. At 3840x2160, no preset is playable. The best result at 4K is Low averaging 41.6 FPS, which is well below the 60 FPS threshold.

The verdict by resolution is straightforward. At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is High at 62.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Low at 65.9 FPS. At 3840x2160, there is no playable setting. Users targeting a 60 FPS experience should stay at 1920x1080 with High settings. Users at 2560x1440 should accept Low settings. 4K users will need to lower resolution expectations considerably.

The measured FPS values from the database confirm that the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 570, is the limiting factor for higher presets at higher resolutions. With the CPU ranking at the 90th percentile and GPU at the 74th percentile, the data shows a clear gap from Low to Ultra at each resolution, and the 4K results all sit below the playable threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

At 1920x1080, the performance scaling from Low to High is substantial, with Low at 89.8 FPS and High at 62.3 FPS. This shows a 27.5 FPS drop from Low to High at 1080p. The High preset still holds 62.3 FPS, and the Medium preset at 74.4 FPS sits between them. The large gap from Medium to Ultra, 74.4 FPS to 39.4 FPS, indicates that the GPU workload increases sharply at Ultra, and the RX 570 becomes the primary constraint. At 1080p, the CPU, the Intel Core i5-14600KF, with its 14 cores and 20 threads, has enough headroom to handle game logic, and the GPU workload scaling dominates the FPS scaling pattern.

At 2560x1440, the scaling from Low to Medium at 65.9 FPS to 55.6 FPS is a 10.3 FPS drop, and from Medium to High to Ultra at 46 FPS to 26.2 FPS is a 19.8 FPS drop. The Low to High at 65.9 FPS to 46 FPS is 19.9 FPS drop, showing that the GPU load increases consistently as the pixel count increases. At 1440p, the GPU workload increases more heavily, and the RX 570's performance at 1440p is weaker relative to 1080p. The Low preset at 1440p averages 65.9 FPS, which is 24.1 FPS lower than Low at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is the dominant factor for 1440p performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes overwhelming. Low at 4K averages 41.6 FPS, Medium at 32.4 FPS, High at 27.8 FPS, and Ultra at 17.6 FPS. The Low to High from 41.6 FPS to 27.8 FPS is a 13.8 FPS drop, and the Low to Ultra at 41.6 FPS to 17.6 FPS is a 24 FPS drop. The GPU, with its 4 GB GDDR5 memory and 256-bit bus, and the RX 570's architecture, has limited 4K capability. The CPU, the i5-14600KF, at 1080p and 1440p, has enough CPU capability to push the GPU-bound workloads, and at 4K, the GPU is the clear bottleneck. The data shows the scaling between resolutions shows that the GPU, the RX 570, is the component that matters more at 4K, and the CPU, the i5-14600KF, matters less at higher resolutions.
