Downfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination delivers a compelling 1080p and 1440p experience in Downfall, with 4K remaining playable at most settings. The data shows a clear trend: this pairing is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions, while the CPU’s six-core design keeps pace without becoming a bottleneck. Below is a detailed breakdown of how each component contributes to the measured frame rates.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a six-core, twelve-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It runs at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and boosts up to 4.00 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. This 5000-series chip uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform and supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, offering 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache—a design that favors gaming workloads where repeated data access is common.

In Downfall, a horror title, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The benchmark results show that at 1080p with Low settings, the system reaches 313 FPS average. This figure suggests the CPU is not limiting frame generation, as the GPU is capable of far higher output. The processor’s single-thread score in synthetic tests is 2872, and its multithread score is 19236, placing it in the 85th percentile among all CPUs. Compared to close rivals, the Ryzen 5 5600F sits within a tight band: the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores 36938 (a 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018 (-0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093 (-0.4%), and the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112 (-0.5%). These margins are negligible in real-world gaming, meaning the 5600F offers performance parity with those processors in CPU-bound scenarios.

The fact that 1080p Low delivers 313 FPS while 1080p Ultra drops to 155 FPS indicates that the GPU’s workload scales with settings, not the CPU. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Downfall’s engine, as evidenced by the consistent frame rates across resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 69, a 44% drop from 4K High (110 FPS), which is a GPU-side effect rather than a CPU limitation. The processor’s L3 cache and high boost clock help maintain minimum frame stability, though the data does not list min FPS for most settings, only for Medium presets.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a GeForce 40-series card built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, using the AD103 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process. It features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2340 MHz and boosts to 2610 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). It includes 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 66 RT cores, and 264 tensor cores, providing 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The card has a 285 W TDP and requires a 600 W suggested PSU, with a triple-slot cooler and a single 16-pin power connector.

In Downfall, the GPU is the primary driver of frame rates. At 1080p Medium, the system achieves 292 FPS average, with a minimum of 248 FPS and a maximum of 335 FPS. This wide range suggests the GPU is working hard but not saturated. Moving to 1440p Medium, the average drops to 216 FPS, with min/max of 183/248 FPS—a 26% reduction from 1080p, which is consistent with the pixel count increase. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 134 FPS, with min/max of 114/154 FPS. These numbers show the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scales predictably with resolution.

The GPU’s 16 GB VRAM is ample for Downfall at any setting, as the game’s horror environments likely rely on texture detail. The data shows that 4K Ultra averages 69 FPS, a significant drop from 4K High’s 110 FPS, indicating that Ultra presets impose a heavy shading and lighting load. The GPU’s synthetic scores support its capability: a PassMark G3D score of 31811 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5569. Its nearest rivals in benchmark averages are the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31206, -0.4%), NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (31220, -0.4%), NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31532, -1.4%), and NVIDIA TITAN RTX (31676, -1.9%). The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s percentile rank of 76 among all GPUs indicates it sits above average, but its performance in Downfall is clearly strong, as even 4K High maintains 110 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the system’s bottleneck shifts across resolutions. At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high: Low averages 313 FPS, Medium 292 FPS, High 248 FPS, and Ultra 155 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 158 FPS, a 50% reduction, which indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at this resolution, as the CPU can clearly sustain over 300 FPS. At 1440p, the averages are 264 FPS (Low), 216 FPS (Medium), 177 FPS (High), and 111 FPS (Ultra). The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is roughly linear with pixel count: Low drops by 49 FPS (16%), Medium by 76 FPS (26%), High by 71 FPS (29%), and Ultra by 44 FPS (28%). This consistency points to a GPU-bound scenario where the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s rendering throughput is the primary constraint.

At 4K, the averages fall further: Low averages 164 FPS, Medium 134 FPS, High 110 FPS, and Ultra 69 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steeper: Low falls by 100 FPS (38%), Medium by 82 FPS (38%), High by 67 FPS (38%), and Ultra by 42 FPS (38%). This uniform percentage drop across all settings at the 4K step suggests the GPU’s memory bandwidth and shading units are fully utilized, while the CPU remains underutilized. The limiting component is clearly the GPU, as the CPU’s performance headroom (evidenced by 313 FPS at 1080p Low) is never approached at higher resolutions.

The data also shows that Ultra settings at 4K (69 FPS) are the only sub-100 FPS result, which indicates that while the combo is capable of 4K gaming, the highest preset pushes the GPU to its limits. For players targeting 60 FPS, the 4K Ultra result is acceptable, but High settings provide a comfortable margin at 110 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database for Downfall, this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 409th out of 2928 tested combos. This places it in the top 14% of all configurations, which is a strong showing given the hardware’s specs. The combo’s rank reflects the GPU’s high performance and the CPU’s adequate support. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s 16 GB VRAM and high bandwidth contribute to the 4K capability, while the CPU’s 6 cores prevent any notable frame pacing issues.

Compared to other combos in the database, this pairing outperforms the vast majority, but it is not at the very top. The rank of 409 suggests that more powerful CPUs (e.g., higher-core-count parts) paired with the same GPU might achieve slightly better results in CPU-bound scenarios, though the data does not provide those specific comparisons. The nearest CPU rivals in synthetic benchmarks (Intel Core Ultra 5 225, AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, etc.) have nearly identical scores, so any rank differences in Downfall would likely be minimal. The GPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks (Quadro M5000, GRID M60-1Q) are older or workstation-oriented parts, which do not match the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s gaming performance, reinforcing the combo’s strong position.

At 1080p, the system delivers over 150 FPS at every preset, with Low and Medium exceeding 290 FPS. The spread between Low (313 FPS) and Ultra (155 FPS) is 158 FPS, showing a clear GPU workload scaling. At 1440p, all presets remain above 110 FPS, with Low hitting 264 FPS and Ultra at 111 FPS—this is a comfortable range for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 4K, Low averages 164 FPS, Medium 134 FPS, and High 110 FPS, all of which are smooth for most displays. Ultra at 4K drops to 69 FPS, which is still playable but shows the GPU’s limits under maximum load.

The Medium preset is the only one with min/max data, revealing that the frame pacing is stable at all three resolutions. The minimum FPS values (248 at 1080p, 183 at 1440p, 114 at 4K) are within 15-18% of the averages, indicating consistent performance without sudden stutters. This consistency is likely due to the CPU’s 12 threads and the GPU’s ample VRAM, which prevent texture thrashing or geometry bottlenecks.

In summary, the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination excels in Downfall across all resolutions, with the GPU being the performance limiter at higher settings. The CPU’s six cores are sufficient, and the 16 GB VRAM ensures no memory-related drops. The combo’s 409th rank out of 2928 confirms its above-average standing.
