Performance Analysis: Downfall on Your System
The Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers measured average frame rates above the 60 FPS playable threshold in Downfall at every resolution and preset tested. The data set includes average FPS for three resolutions (1920×1080, 2560×1440, 3840×2160) and four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), with minimum and maximum frame rates not reported. The combo ranks 662nd out of 3,716 tested configurations, placing it in the upper tier of systems for this title.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The measured average FPS for each resolution and preset is as follows:
| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |
|------------|----------|---------|
| 1920×1080 | Low | 345.8 |
| 1920×1080 | Medium | 284.4 |
| 1920×1080 | High | 231.6 |
| 1920×1080 | Ultra | 145.1 |
| 2560×1440 | Low | 245.3 |
| 2560×1440 | Medium | 202.8 |
| 2560×1440 | High | 166.6 |
| 2560×1440 | Ultra | 106.9 |
| 3840×2160 | Low | 153.6 |
| 3840×2160 | Medium | 126.3 |
| 3840×2160 | High | 103.2 |
| 3840×2160 | Ultra | 64.8 |
At 1080p, the system is never below 145 FPS even at Ultra, and the Low preset reaches 345.8 FPS. The step from Low to Ultra at 1080p reduces average FPS by more than half, yet still remains far above the 60 FPS target. Moving to 1440p, the Ultra preset still holds 106.9 FPS, while the Low preset exceeds 245 FPS. At 4K, the Ultra preset is the only one that approaches the playable threshold, landing at 64.8 FPS; all other presets at 4K stay above 103 FPS. The data shows a clear and consistent scaling: each increase in resolution or preset quality reduces average FPS, but no combination tested falls below 64.8 FPS.
Best Settings per Resolution
The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Ultra at all three resolutions. The average FPS at Ultra is:
- 1920×1080 Ultra: 145.1 FPS
- 2560×1440 Ultra: 106.9 FPS
- 3840×2160 Ultra: 64.8 FPS
Since Ultra is the highest preset in the data, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold at every resolution, the system can run the game with maximum visual quality at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the closest to the threshold, but still 4.8 FPS above it, meaning no setting needs to be reduced for a playable experience.
How This Combo Ranks
The combination of the Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 662nd out of 3,716 tested combos in Downfall, according to the combo rank data. This places the pair in the upper quintile of all systems tested for this game.
The CPU alone holds an 85th percentile rank among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 35,365. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i7-13700T (average score 35,403, delta -0.1%), the Intel Core i5-13600T (35,305, delta +0.2%), the Intel Core 5 213PE (35,428, delta -0.2%), and the Intel Core i7-12700K (35,287, delta +0.2%). The delta percentages show that the i7-12700KF is effectively performance-equivalent to these peers, with differences below 0.3%.
The GPU holds an 83rd percentile rank, with an average benchmark score of 43,223. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43,262, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43,301, delta -0.2%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43,667, delta -1%). The RTX 4070 SUPER sits within 1% of these cards, with the RTX 4090 Mobile being the only one to pull ahead by a full percentage point.
The combo rank of 662 out of 3,716 reflects the combined strength of both components. Given the CPU and GPU percentiles of 85 and 83, respectively, the pairing is consistent with a high-end system that can handle demanding titles, and Downfall is no exception.
FAQ
Q: Can this PC run Downfall at 4K Ultra settings?
A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840×2160 Ultra is 64.8 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold.
Q: What is the highest preset that stays above 60 FPS at 1440p?
A: Ultra is the highest preset tested and it delivers 106.9 FPS at 2560×1440, well above 60 FPS.
Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals?
A: The i7-12700KF has an average benchmark score of 35,365, which is within 0.2% of the i7-13700T, i5-13600T, Core 5 213PE, and i7-12700K. Its percentile rank is 85.
Q: Is the GPU more important than the CPU at 4K?
A: The data shows a large drop in FPS from 1080p to 4K across all presets. For example, the Low preset drops from 345.8 FPS at 1080p to 153.6 FPS at 4K, indicating the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck at higher resolutions.
Q: Are minimum and maximum FPS values available?
A: No. The measured FPS data only includes average frame rates; minimum and maximum values were not recorded.
Q: How many tested combos does this PC rank above?
A: The combo ranks 662nd out of 3,716 total tested combos, meaning it outperforms more than 3,000 other system configurations.
CPU and GPU Roles
The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals the balance between CPU and GPU contribution. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 345.8, which is likely near the CPU’s limit for this game. Moving to 4K Low, the average drops to 153.6 FPS, a reduction of 192.2 FPS. This steep decline as resolution increases points to the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 145.1 FPS, which is nearly identical to the 4K Low result of 153.6 FPS. That similarity suggests that when the GPU load is low (1080p Ultra) and when the GPU load is moderate (4K Low), the system delivers similar frame rates, indicating the CPU can keep up.
At 4K Ultra, the average is 64.8 FPS, which is less than half of the 1440p Ultra result (106.9 FPS) and about a third of the 1080p Ultra result (145.1 FPS). The GPU’s raw performance, as shown by its 83rd percentile rank, is sufficient for 4K, but the scaling shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution. The CPU’s 85th percentile rank and high single-thread scores (e.g., Cinebench R23 single-core of 4,071) indicate that it is not the constraint at lower resolutions, where the frame rates are extremely high.
The data suggests that in Downfall, the GPU is the dominant factor at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough to reach very high frame rates. The fact that the Ultra preset at 4K still clears 60 FPS demonstrates that the RTX 4070 SUPER has enough performance headroom for this 2016 title, even at maximum settings.
The Verdict
The Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER can run Downfall at a playable frame rate at all tested resolutions and presets. The verdict data lists all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) as playable at each resolution, with the best preset being Ultra at every resolution. The measured average FPS at Ultra is 145.1 at 1080p, 106.9 at 1440p, and 64.8 at 4K. Since the playable threshold is 60 FPS, this system exceeds it by a comfortable margin at 1080p and 1440p, and by a small but definite margin at 4K. Users can expect a smooth experience with maximum visual quality across all tested configurations.
