Downfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a remarkably consistent performance profile in Downfall, with the data showing a clear hierarchy where resolution scaling and preset selection have predictable effects on frame rates. The combination ranks 289th out of 1741 tested combos, placing it in the top 16.6% of all configurations, a position driven primarily by the GPU's substantial compute resources and the CPU's ability to keep pace at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing, and its memory subsystem plays a critical role in the measured results. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This bandwidth is sufficient to feed the AD104 chip's 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs, allowing for high fill rates of 198.0 GPixel/s and 554.4 GTexel/s.

The clock behavior of the GPU shows a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. The data suggests that this boost clock is sustained effectively across all test scenarios, as the frame rates scale predictably with resolution changes. The FP32 compute throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS supports the high average FPS figures, particularly at lower resolutions where the GPU is less likely to be the bottleneck.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's performance percentile of 84 places it above most GPUs in the database, though its nearest rivals show how tightly grouped the top tier is. The GPU's average benchmark score of 42576 is within 1.6% of the AMD Radeon Pro 580X (41991) and only 0.2% behind the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (42653). This level of performance explains why the combo achieves playable frame rates even at 3840x2160 with High settings, where the average FPS is 105.9.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 289 out of 1741 total combinations indicates a configuration that sits comfortably in the upper quartile of tested systems. This positioning is notable because the CPU is a Ryzen 5 5600G, a processor with integrated graphics that is not typically associated with high-end gaming performance. The fact that this combo still ranks 289th underscores the RTX 4070 SUPER's ability to carry the system in Downfall.

The data indicates that the GPU's performance ceiling is the limiting factor at lower resolutions, while the CPU becomes more relevant at higher settings where frame rates drop. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS of 345.9 suggests the GPU is operating near its maximum output, and the CPU's single-thread performance of 872 (3dmark_single_thread) is sufficient to avoid creating a bottleneck. However, at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the frame rate falls to 63.3, indicating that the GPU's rendering workload dominates and the CPU's role diminishes.

This rank also reflects the balance between the two components. The CPU's average benchmark score of 19983 places it near the Intel Core i7-11600H (19949) and the AMD EPYC 7713P (20024), with deltaPct values of 0.2% and -0.2% respectively. This mid-range CPU performance is adequately matched with a high-end GPU for Downfall, as the game's horror genre likely emphasizes visual fidelity over CPU-intensive simulation.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern across all resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its highest frame rates, with Low settings producing 345.9 FPS, Medium at 288.1 FPS, High at 234.3 FPS, and Ultra at 144.7 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline, with the largest single-step drop occurring between Medium and High (53.8 FPS) and the smallest between High and Ultra (89.6 FPS).

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show a more pronounced impact from settings changes. Low settings deliver 250.6 FPS, Medium drops to 205.5 FPS, High falls to 166.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 101.5 FPS. The percentage drop from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 59.5%, compared to 58.2% at 1920x1080, indicating that the GPU's workload scales slightly faster with settings at higher resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve becomes steeper. The combo manages 152.5 FPS at Low settings, which is still highly playable, but drops to 126.3 FPS at Medium, 105.9 FPS at High, and 63.3 FPS at Ultra. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is 20.4 FPS, which is the smallest relative difference among all resolutions, suggesting that texture and shading complexity become less differentiating at this pixel count.

The data shows that the combo is capable of exceeding 100 FPS at all settings up to 2560x1440 Ultra, and only falls below 60 FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra. This indicates a system that can handle high-refresh-rate monitors at 1440p and can still deliver playable performance at 4K with adjusted settings.

Settings Recommendations

For users targeting a 60 FPS minimum, the Ultra preset at 3840x2160 is the only marginal configuration, with an average of 63.3 FPS that leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The High preset at 4K provides a more comfortable 105.9 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 4K displays. This preset offers a 67.2% improvement over Ultra while maintaining visual quality that should satisfy most players.

At 2560x1440, the data supports using Ultra settings, as the average FPS of 101.5 exceeds the 100 FPS threshold that many high-refresh-rate displays target. Users with 144Hz or 165Hz monitors could alternatively use High settings to reach 166.7 FPS, which nearly doubles the refresh rate and provides smoother motion. The Medium preset at 205.5 FPS offers diminishing returns for competitive play but is unnecessary for this game's horror genre.

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 144.7 FPS, which is sufficient for most displays. However, users with 240Hz monitors could benefit from High settings at 234.3 FPS, which is a 61.9% improvement over Ultra. The Low preset at 345.9 FPS is only relevant for extreme refresh rates and would compromise visual fidelity unnecessarily.

The optimal balance of frame rate and visual quality is achieved with High settings at 3840x2160, Ultra settings at 2560x1440, and High settings at 1920x1080 for high-refresh-rate displays. The data consistently shows that High settings provide the best compromise between the 234.3 FPS at 1080p and the 105.9 FPS at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. The CPU has a 16 MB L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. While this is a capable desktop processor, its 3dmark_single_thread score of 872 and cinebench_r23_singlecore score of 2365 indicate that it is not a top-tier performer for CPU-bound workloads.

In Downfall, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the frame rate of 345.9 FPS is likely near the GPU's maximum output, and the CPU must process a high number of frames per second. The CPU's passmark_single_thread score of 3177 suggests it can handle this workload, but the data shows diminishing returns as settings increase. At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the frame rate drops to 63.3 FPS, which is far below the CPU's potential frame generation capacity.

The CPU's multi-threaded performance, as measured by cinebench_r23_multicore at 16758, provides ample headroom for the game's background tasks and system processes. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 5451 and the geekbench_multicore score of 7693 confirm that the 12 threads are adequately utilized, though Downfall likely does not scale perfectly across all cores. The CPU's percentile of 78 versus all CPUs indicates it outperforms most processors in the database, though its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-11800H (20024) and the AMD EPYC 7713P (20024), both of which are within 0.2% of its average score.

The 65W TDP of the Ryzen 5 5600G makes it an efficient choice, and its PCIe Gen 3 interface is sufficient for the RTX 4070 SUPER, as the GPU's bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16 but the performance difference between Gen 3 and Gen 4 is minimal at these frame rates. The data indicates that the CPU does not bottleneck the GPU in this configuration, as the frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings changes.
