Resolution Scaling

Examining the FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 355 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops this to 262 FPS, a 26.2% reduction. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls to 163 FPS, which is 54.1% below the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at lower settings, where the pixel throughput demand increases dramatically with resolution.

The High settings row tells a similar story with slightly different magnitudes. From 246 FPS at 1080p, the average drops to 176 FPS at 1440p (a 28.5% decline) and then to 109 FPS at 4K (a 55.7% decline from 1080p). The near-linear relationship between resolution scaling and FPS reduction indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary limiting component at these settings, as the frame rate scales almost exactly with the pixel count increase.

For Medium settings, the pattern holds: 300 FPS at 1080p, 214 FPS at 1440p (28.7% lower), and 133 FPS at 4K (55.7% lower). The consistency of these percentage drops across Low, Medium, and High settings suggests the CPU is not introducing a bottleneck at any of these configurations. If the Ryzen 5 5600G were limiting performance, the FPS would plateau or show diminishing drops as resolution increases, which is not observed in the data.

Ultra settings exhibit the most pronounced scaling. The average FPS goes from 154 at 1080p to 110 at 1440p (a 28.6% drop) and then to 68 at 4K (a 55.8% drop from 1080p). The fact that even at Ultra, the resolution scaling remains consistent across all three steps indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti's rendering workload scales predictably, and the CPU maintains adequate frame delivery throughout. The data strongly suggests the GPU is the limiting factor across all tested configurations, with the 5600G providing ample headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce an average of 355 FPS. Medium settings yield 300 FPS average, with a minimum of 255 and maximum of 345 FPS. High settings reduce the average to 246 FPS. Ultra settings bring the average down to 154 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 201 FPS, indicating that the full range of settings spans from extremely high refresh rate territory to still-very-smooth gameplay.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally strong. Low settings average 262 FPS. Medium settings average 214 FPS, with a minimum of 182 and maximum of 246 FPS. High settings produce 176 FPS average. Ultra settings deliver 110 FPS average. Even at the most demanding preset, the frame rate stays well above 100 FPS, making this resolution entirely viable for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 3840x2160, the scaling becomes more apparent. Low settings still manage 163 FPS average. Medium settings drop to 133 FPS, with a minimum of 113 and maximum of 153 FPS. High settings yield 109 FPS average. Ultra settings fall to 68 FPS average. The 4K Ultra configuration is the only tested scenario where the combo dips below the 100 FPS threshold, suggesting that players targeting 4K should consider High settings for a more comfortable margin.

The Medium settings rows consistently show the widest spread between minimum and maximum FPS across all resolutions. At 1080p, the range is 90 FPS (255 to 345); at 1440p, it is 64 FPS (182 to 246); at 4K, it is 40 FPS (113 to 153). This variance indicates that Medium settings introduce more frame-time fluctuation than other presets, likely due to variable scene complexity in the horror game's environments.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves sufficient for Downfall at all tested resolutions and settings, as evidenced by the consistent FPS scaling without any anomalous drops that would indicate VRAM capacity issues or bandwidth starvation. The 12 GB capacity is ample for this 2016 horror title, even at 4K Ultra.

The GPU's clock behavior shows a base clock of 2310 MHz and a boost clock of 2610 MHz. The boost clock represents a 13% increase over base, which the Ada Lovelace architecture can sustain under load depending on thermal and power headroom. The memory operates at 1313 MHz, translating to 21 Gbps effective, which aligns with the high bandwidth figure and supports the smooth frame delivery observed in the measured results.

With 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs, the RTX 4070 Ti's raw compute capacity is substantial. The 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and DLSS, though the measured FPS data does not specify whether these features were enabled. The FP32 throughput of 40.09 TFLOPS gives the card ample horsepower for Downfall's rendering demands, which is reflected in the high frame rates even at 4K.

The GPU's synthetic benchmark results reinforce its strong position. The PassMark G3D score of 31,624 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 176,953 indicate robust general-purpose compute. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,024 provides a modern gaming workload reference. The GPU's 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44,795, confirms that the 4070 Ti sits in the upper echelon of graphics hardware, justifying its role as the primary performance driver in this combo.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. With a base clock of 3.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, this processor offers a 12.8% boost headroom. The 65W TDP indicates efficient power delivery, and the Socket AM4 platform support ensures broad compatibility. The 16 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide adequate data throughput for gaming workloads.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5600G demonstrates balanced performance. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10,551 and single-core score of 1,409 show reasonable scaling across threads. The Geekbench multicore score of 8,428 and single-core score of 1,801 align with expectations for a 6-core Zen 3 part. The PassMark multithread score of 19,717 and single-thread score of 3,177 further corroborate this processor's mid-range positioning, sitting at the 74th percentile among all CPUs.

The CPU's role in Downfall appears to be supportive rather than limiting. The measured FPS data shows no signs of CPU bottlenecking, as frame rates scale consistently with resolution changes across all settings. The 12 threads provide sufficient parallelism for the game's engine, and the single-core performance handles the primary game thread without becoming a constraint. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5,451 and max-thread score of 5,455 indicate that the processor's multi-threaded capabilities are well-utilized when needed.

The nearest rival comparisons show the 5600G is virtually tied with several other processors in average benchmark scores, with deltas of only 0.1% to 0.4%. This tight grouping suggests that for this game, any of these CPUs would likely deliver similar frame rates when paired with the same GPU. The choice of the 5600G does not introduce a measurable performance penalty in Downfall based on the data available.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting 1920x1080, the data shows that even Ultra settings at 154 FPS average provide a smooth experience on high-refresh-rate displays. However, the Medium preset at 300 FPS average offers nearly double the frame rate with a minimum of 255 FPS, making it the optimal choice for competitive or extremely high refresh rate gaming. The High preset at 246 FPS strikes a balance between visual fidelity and performance, and the Low preset's 355 FPS is best reserved for maximum frame rate scenarios.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset's 110 FPS average remains playable and smooth. Yet the High preset at 176 FPS average provides a more comfortable margin above 144 Hz refresh rates, making it the recommended choice for most users. Medium settings at 214 FPS average offer even more headroom, with a minimum of 182 FPS ensuring consistent frame delivery. Low settings at 262 FPS are only necessary for the most demanding frame rate requirements.

For 3840x2160, the Ultra preset's 68 FPS average falls below the 100 FPS threshold, which may be acceptable for slower-paced horror gameplay but is not ideal for smooth motion. The High preset at 109 FPS average is the clear recommendation for 4K, providing a solid balance of visual quality and performance. Medium settings at 133 FPS average offer additional headroom, with a minimum of 113 FPS. Low settings at 163 FPS average are available for players who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity.

The overall recommendation based on the measured data is the High preset at either 1080p or 1440p, as it consistently delivers high frame rates with substantial visual improvements over Medium. For 4K users, High is the highest viable preset, while Medium provides a safer performance buffer. The Ultra preset is only advisable at 1080p, where the 154 FPS average still clears common 144 Hz refresh rate targets.
