Downfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G pairs with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER in a configuration that leans heavily on the GPU for gaming performance. This 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 4000 series operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its architecture is Zen 2, built on a 7 nm process, and it features 8 MB of shared L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 13,593 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1,919 in single-core, placing it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs. The data shows that while this processor is capable, its performance characteristics are more aligned with mainstream workloads than with pushing extreme frame rates in a horror title like Downfall.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 5 4600G provides a solid foundation with its 6 cores and 12 threads, which is generally sufficient for modern game engines. The 3.70 GHz base and 4.20 GHz boost clocks are moderate, and the processor's average benchmark score of 17,489 reflects a mid-range standing. Compared to its nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE sits at a 0% delta, meaning performance parity, while the Intel Core i5-12450H is 0.1% ahead, and the Intel Core i3-14100T is 0.8% behind. This indicates the CPU is not a bottleneck in most scenarios, but its single-threaded score of 1,919 in Cinebench R23 suggests that frame pacing in CPU-light scenes could occasionally lag behind the GPU's output. For a horror game that often relies on atmospheric tension rather than complex simulations, the CPU's 12 threads handle background tasks without issue, but the modest clock speeds mean that at lower resolutions, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor in determining performance.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the powerhouse here, equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock runs at 2610 MHz, and the card is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 8,448 shading units. The GPU scores 31,811 in Passmark G3D and sits in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 48,704. Compared to its nearest rivals, it is 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A2000 and 2% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile, while the NVIDIA CMP 50HX is 0.7% faster and the Intel Arc A550M is 2.1% faster. In Downfall, this GPU's high memory capacity and bandwidth ensure that texture streaming and high-resolution assets are handled with ease. The 16 GB VRAM is more than enough for any settings at 4K, and the 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute provides the raw power needed for the game's visual effects. The data confirms that the GPU is the primary driver of frame rates across all tested resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K, revealing the balance between CPU and GPU load. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 295.9 FPS, which is the highest recorded value. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 264.6 FPS, a reduction of 31.3 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls further to 161.7 FPS. This 134.2 FPS difference from 1080p to 4K at Low settings indicates that the GPU is being progressively more taxed as resolution increases, but the CPU still keeps up. At Ultra settings, the pattern is steeper: 152.7 FPS at 1080p, 111.8 FPS at 1440p, and 68 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is 84.7 FPS, which is a 55.4% reduction, showing that the GPU's limits are reached at higher settings. The fact that 1080p Low hits nearly 300 FPS suggests the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower resolutions, but the diminishing returns at 4K Ultra point to the GPU as the limiting component, as the CPU's clock speeds are not the primary constraint here.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the database of tested combinations, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 5 4600G and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 269th out of 1,741 combos for Downfall. This places it in the top 15.5% of all tested configurations, which is a strong showing given the CPU's mid-range standing. The high rank is almost entirely attributable to the GPU's performance, as the CPU's percentile of 75 is below the GPU's 86. The data suggests that while the CPU does not hold the combo back significantly, it also does not boost it beyond what the GPU alone can deliver. For context, the GPU's nearest rivals show deltas of around 2%, but the combo rank benefits from the GPU's strong absolute scores. In practical terms, this rank means that in a pool of 1,741 combinations, only 268 are faster, which is a solid position for a system that pairs a budget-oriented processor with a high-end graphics card.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 295.9 FPS on Low, 276.1 FPS on Medium, 249.6 FPS on High, and 152.7 FPS on Ultra. The jump from High to Ultra at 1080p is significant, with a drop of 96.9 FPS, indicating that Ultra settings introduce heavy graphical effects that strain the GPU. Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers are 264.6 FPS on Low, 218.5 FPS on Medium, 175.7 FPS on High, and 111.8 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p shows a 152.8 FPS reduction, which is a 57.8% decrease. At 3840x2160, the results are 161.7 FPS on Low, 132.9 FPS on Medium, 110.7 FPS on High, and 68 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra figure of 68 FPS is the lowest recorded, but it remains playable for a horror title. Across all resolutions, the Medium settings offer a balanced compromise, with 276.1 FPS at 1080p, 218.5 FPS at 1440p, and 132.9 FPS at 4K. These numbers show that the combo is capable of high refresh rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K is best suited for High settings or lower to maintain smooth frame rates.
