CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a desktop processor in the Ryzen 5 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the codename Vermeer. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a 3.50 GHz base clock and 4.40 GHz boost clock. The CPU is manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC and uses AMD Socket AM4. Cache is listed as 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. Memory support is DDR4 over a dual-channel interface, and memory bandwidth is listed at 51.2 GB/s.

Synthetic benchmark results show the shape of the CPU's performance. In 3DMark, it scores 882 in single-thread, 1,737 in 2-thread, 4,798 in 8-thread, 5,641 in 16-thread, and 5,659 in max-thread. Cinebench R23 scores are 2,584 for single-core and 18,309 for multi-core. PassMark shows 3,256 for single-thread and 21,541 for multi-thread. The processor lands in the 79th percentile of all CPUs.

These numbers help explain the measured Downfall results. The CPU has a high boost clock for a 6-core part, and its single-thread scores are strong enough to keep an older game moving at high frame rates. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo reaches 364.6 fps, and at 1920x1080 High it still reaches 296.6 fps. The multi-thread score of 18,309 in Cinebench R23 indicates that the 12 threads are capable of handling the game's background load while the GPU pushes high frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank in Downfall is 55 out of 1,741 tested combos. That places it very high in the database, ahead of the vast majority of configurations. The data is measured, not projected, which makes the rank more meaningful. The CPU itself sits in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 91st percentile of all GPUs. In Downfall specifically, the pairing finishes 55th overall, showing that the combination of a strong single-threaded CPU and a top-tier GPU produces a high placing in this game's results.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured rows cover three resolutions and four setting levels. Only average FPS values are present.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|---|---|---|

| 3840x2160 | Low | 197.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 160.6 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 131.9 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 84.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 316.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 256.5 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 212.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 132.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 364.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 336.3 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 296.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 184.5 |

The pattern is consistent: at every resolution, Low produces the highest average, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. At 3840x2160, the spread goes from 197.5 on Low to 84.1 on Ultra. At 2560x1440, Low is 316.5 fps and Ultra is 132.7 fps. At 1920x1080, Low is 364.6 fps and Ultra is 184.5 fps. The resolution scaling is also clear. High averages 296.6 at 1080p, 212.2 at 1440p, and 131.9 at 4K. Medium averages 336.3, 256.5, and 160.6 across the same resolution order.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is an Ada Lovelace GPU based on the AD102 chip, built by TSMC on a 5 nm process. It has 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, with 1.01 TB/s memory bandwidth. The GPU has a 2,235 MHz base clock and 2,520 MHz boost clock. Its core configuration includes 16,384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, 176 ROPs, 128 RT cores, and 512 tensor cores.

Benchmark results show the GPU's position. It scores 38,194 in PassMark G3D, 317,684 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 270,615 in Geekbench Vulkan. The GPU sits in the 91st percentile of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 66,473 is 0.4% below the NVIDIA Tesla T4's 66,733, 0.5% above the NVIDIA Tesla P40's 66,127, 0.9% below the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56's 67,097, and 1.3% below the NVIDIA Quadro P6000's 67,320.

The 24 GB frame buffer and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth sit behind the measured frame rates. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the pair averages 84.1 fps. At 3840x2160 High, it averages 131.9 fps. Dropping resolution raises the averages sharply: Ultra goes from 84.1 at 4K to 132.7 at 1440p to 184.5 at 1080p. That pattern is consistent with the GPU taking on more work as resolution and preset level increase.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a direct way to choose a preset. At 4K, Medium and High both deliver strong averages: 160.6 fps and 131.9 fps respectively. Ultra drops to 84.1 fps, which is the lowest measured result in the entire dataset. For 4K play, High is the better balance, with Ultra available if visual quality matters more than frame rate.

At 1440p, High averages 212.2 fps and Ultra still averages 132.7 fps. Low and Medium reach 316.5 and 256.5 fps respectively. The practical pick for 1440p is High, since it keeps a high average while leaving Ultra as an option. At 1080p, even Ultra averages 184.5 fps, so the preset can be set aggressively without hurting frame rate. Medium and High produce 336.3 and 296.6 fps, giving plenty of headroom for high-refresh displays. If one preset is needed across all resolutions, High is the strongest measured choice: 131.9 fps at 4K, 212.2 fps at 1440p, and 296.6 fps at 1080p.
