Downfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a mid-range result in Downfall, ranking 1246th out of 1741 tested combos. The CPU sits in the 78th percentile of all processors, while the GPU is in the 63rd percentile. Measured frame rates range from 192.3 FPS at 1080p Low to 36.1 FPS at 4K Ultra, indicating a GPU-bound configuration at higher resolutions. The combo’s performance is consistent with its component-level benchmarks, which place both parts within a few tenths of a percent of their nearest rivals.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings. At Low, the average FPS falls from 192.3 at 1080p to 82.5 at 4K, a 57% reduction. At High, it drops from 128.3 to 59.9, a 53% reduction. At Ultra, the decline is from 80.5 to 36.1, a 55% reduction. These near-uniform percentages—roughly half the performance when pixel count quadruples—point to the GPU as the primary limiter. The scaling pattern holds across the entire settings range: the relative gap between Low and Ultra is similar at each resolution. At 1080p, Low is 192.3 FPS and Ultra is 80.5 FPS, a 58% drop; at 1440p, Low is 135.4 and Ultra is 55.7, a 59% drop; at 4K, Low is 82.5 and Ultra is 36.1, a 56% drop. This consistency indicates that the GPU’s workload dominates as resolution increases, while the CPU’s contribution remains relatively constant. The game, released in 2016, does not appear to stress the CPU heavily, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p Low, where the CPU would be more likely to bottleneck if it were a limiting factor.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It features 16 MB of L3 cache and a 7 nm process, with a TDP of 65 W. Its benchmark scores are solid: Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 16758, single-core 2365; Geekbench multi-core is 7693, single-core 1933. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 19983, placing it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals—Intel Core i7-11600H, i7-11800H, AMD EPYC 7713P, and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5995WX—are all within 0.3% of its score, with deltas of 0.2% to -0.2%. This means the 5600G is effectively on par with those parts in synthetic workloads. In Downfall, the CPU’s role appears secondary. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 192.3 FPS, a figure that suggests the CPU can feed the GPU without becoming a bottleneck. The boost clock of 4.40 GHz and 6 cores are more than adequate for a 2016 horror title, which likely relies on single-thread performance. The CPU’s launch MSRP is $259, but its performance in this game is not a differentiator; the measured FPS scaling with resolution is clearly GPU-driven.

GPU Role

The RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock is 1650 MHz, and it packs 2176 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The GPU’s benchmark results include a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2011, Geekbench OpenCL 87670, Vulkan 83503, and Passmark G3D 16462. Its average benchmark score is 19774, placing it in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals—NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, RTX 2070, Quadro K5200, and Tesla K40m—are within 1.3% of its score, with deltas of 0.3% to 1.3%. The GPU is the clear bottleneck in Downfall at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 36.1, well below the 60 FPS threshold. Even at 4K High, it only reaches 59.9 FPS. The 8 GB VRAM is likely sufficient for this game, but the GPU’s raw compute power limits performance. The launch MSRP of the RTX 2060 SUPER is 399 USD, and its performance in this title is consistent with its mid-range positioning. The measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (80.5) shows the GPU can handle the game at lower resolutions, but the steep drop at 4K confirms that the GPU is the limiting component.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1246th out of 1741 tested combinations, placing it in the lower half of the field. Specifically, it is better than 495 combos and worse than 1245. This rank is lower than the individual component percentiles might suggest—the CPU is in the 78th percentile and the GPU in the 63rd—but the game’s performance is heavily GPU-bound, and the GPU’s percentile is the more relevant factor. The CPU’s nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score, and the GPU’s nearest rivals are within 1.3%, so the combo’s performance is consistent with what those components deliver in isolation. The rank indicates that many other CPU/GPU pairings achieve higher frame rates in Downfall, likely due to more powerful GPUs. The data shows that this combo is not a top-tier performer in this title, but it is not at the bottom either.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for each resolution. At 1080p, all presets exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra delivering 80.5 FPS. This makes Ultra the highest preset that maintains a playable frame rate, offering the best visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. At 1440p, High averages 93 FPS, while Ultra drops to 55.7 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. Therefore, High is the recommended preset for 1440p, as it provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while retaining higher visual fidelity than Medium or Low. At 4K, Medium averages 70 FPS, while High is 59.9 FPS—just under 60—and Ultra is 36.1 FPS. Medium is the highest preset that stays above 60 FPS, making it the optimal choice for 4K. These recommendations are based solely on the measured average FPS values; the data shows that the combo can handle 1080p Ultra, 1440p High, and 4K Medium without dropping below the 60 FPS target.
