Downfall

The pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 in Downfall produces a wide spread of frame rates that heavily favor the graphics card. The data shows a system capable of high refresh rate play at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K Ultra presents a significant challenge. This configuration relies almost entirely on the RTX 5070 to carry the load, with the Ryzen 5 4600G’s six Zen 2 cores providing just enough support to avoid holding back the GPU at most settings. The measured results reveal a clear hierarchy where resolution and preset choice dictate whether the experience is silky smooth or borderline unplayable.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the undisputed performance driver in this combo. Its Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process, operates at a base clock of 2325 MHz and boosts to 2512 MHz. The card’s 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Downfall’s demands at the tested resolutions. The GPU’s raw compute capabilities are substantial, with 6144 shading units and a FP32 throughput of 30.87 TFLOPS, allowing it to push very high frame rates in this horror title.

The frame rates scale almost linearly with the GPU’s workload. At 1080p, the RTX 5070 is clearly the bottleneck, as even the most demanding preset, Ultra, hits 143 FPS, while lower presets exceed 277 FPS. This indicates that the GPU has headroom to spare at lower resolutions. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is never a limiting factor in the measured data, as even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 60.6 suggests the GPU’s compute limits are hit before memory capacity becomes an issue. The high boost clock of 2512 MHz ensures that the card maintains peak performance across all settings, though the gap between Low and Ultra presets shows how much the GPU’s shading and texture units are stressed by higher visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The data provides a clear path for optimal playability. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an outstanding average of 277.7 FPS, which is only slightly below the Low preset’s 293.5 FPS but with significantly better visual quality. The High preset still offers a very smooth 226.2 FPS, making it a viable choice for those prioritizing visuals over raw speed. Ultra at 1080p drops to 143 FPS, which is still playable but represents a substantial performance cost for the highest fidelity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the High preset shines with an average of 161.1 FPS, offering a balanced experience that exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors. The Medium preset is also excellent at 194.6 FPS, while Low reaches 240.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU has plenty of headroom. At this resolution, Ultra is the only preset that falls below the 100 FPS mark, hitting 99.4 FPS. For 4K, the situation changes dramatically. The High preset at 3840x2160 produces 101.7 FPS, which is surprisingly good, but the Medium preset’s 120.6 FPS is the sweet spot for 4K play. Ultra at 4K is the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS, averaging just 60.6 FPS, which may feel inconsistent in a horror game where frame pacing matters. The best overall experience per the measured rows is the High preset at 1440p, offering a strong balance of visual fidelity and performance.

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

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all combinations. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 293.5 FPS, Medium averages 277.7 FPS, High averages 226.2 FPS, and Ultra averages 143 FPS. This shows a steep drop-off from Medium to High, a 51.5 FPS difference, and a further 83.2 FPS drop from High to Ultra. The scaling is not perfectly linear, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 240.6 FPS, Medium averages 194.6 FPS, High averages 161.1 FPS, and Ultra averages 99.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 46 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 61.7 FPS. This suggests that the Ultra preset’s additional features hit the GPU harder at this resolution than at 1080p. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 151.7 FPS, Medium averages 120.6 FPS, High averages 101.7 FPS, and Ultra averages 60.6 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a consistent decline of roughly 30 FPS per preset step, with the final step from High to Ultra being a 41.1 FPS drop. This data confirms that the RTX 5070 is the primary performance driver, with the CPU’s influence becoming more apparent only at lower resolutions and higher frame rates.

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

The resolution scaling reveals a clear GPU-bound workload. At the Low preset, moving from 1080p to 1440p results in a 52.9 FPS drop (from 293.5 to 240.6), and moving from 1440p to 4K results in an 88.9 FPS drop (from 240.6 to 151.7). This is a 48.3% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K. At the Medium preset, the drops are 83.1 FPS from 1080p to 1440p (277.7 to 194.6) and 74 FPS from 1440p to 4K (194.6 to 120.6), a total reduction of 56.5%.

The High preset shows a similar pattern: 65.1 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p (226.2 to 161.1) and 59.4 FPS drop from 1440p to 4K (161.1 to 101.7), totaling a 55.1% reduction. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with a 43.6 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p (143 to 99.4) and a 38.8 FPS drop from 1440p to 4K (99.4 to 60.6), a total reduction of 57.6%. These consistent drops indicate that the RTX 5070 is the limiting factor at all resolutions, as the scaling is directly proportional to the pixel count increase. The CPU’s impact is minimal, as the frame rates remain high even at 1080p, suggesting that the Ryzen 5 4600G with its 6 cores and 12 threads is sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck in this title.
