Downfall

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a robust performance profile in Downfall, a 2016 Horror title. The data shows a configuration that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions but reveals the CPU's limitations when frame rates climb into very high territory. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across resolutions and settings, examines the roles of the processor and graphics card, and contextualizes the combo's standing against 1,740 other tested combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data illustrates a classic scaling curve from 1080p to 4K, with the most dramatic shifts occurring at the higher preset levels. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 370.1 FPS at 1920x1080 to 263.1 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 107 FPS, and then falls further to 165.6 FPS at 3840x2160. This pattern indicates that even at the lowest graphical load, the rendering pipeline is still heavily influenced by the GPU's capabilities, though the CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 913 suggests it can feed frames at these rates.

The scaling becomes more pronounced at Ultra settings, where the average FPS falls from 153.5 at 1080p to 108.6 at 1440p, and finally to 70.4 at 4K. This represents a 54% performance drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra, compared to a 55% drop at Low settings. The similarity in these percentages suggests that Downfall's engine does not become disproportionately CPU-bound at lower resolutions; instead, the GPU remains the primary limiter across all tested configurations. The transition from Medium to High at 4K shows a smaller delta of 21.9 FPS, indicating that the GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle the increased texture loads without a catastrophic hit.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz provide the computational foundation for this combo. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17,272 and a single-core score of 2,438, which places it in the 78th percentile among all tested CPUs. This positioning is reinforced by its nearest rivals: the Intel Core i7-10700 with a deltaPct of 0, the Intel Core i5-12490F at -0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X at 0.3%.

In the context of Downfall, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low, where the average FPS of 370.1 approaches the limits of what this processor can sustain. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1,794 and 4-thread score of 3,446 indicate that the CPU has adequate single-threaded throughput for a game released in 2016, but the 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s could become bottlenecks if frame rates were pushed higher. The data shows that at 1080p Ultra, the FPS drops to 153.5, a 58% reduction from Low, which suggests that the GPU's workload is the dominant factor, not the CPU's processing limits.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the clear driver of performance in this pairing. Built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process, it features 8,448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. Its boost clock of 2,610 MHz and memory clock of 1,313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) power a 256-bit bus with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory, yielding a bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 31,811 places it in the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with its nearest rivals being the NVIDIA CMP 50HX (deltaPct -0.7), NVIDIA RTX A2000 (deltaPct 1.6), and NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile (deltaPct 2).

The GPU's FP32 performance of 44.10 TFLOPS and texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s are directly reflected in the measured FPS. At 4K Ultra, the GPU delivers 70.4 FPS, a score that indicates it is fully utilized. The transition from 1080p Ultra's 153.5 FPS to 4K Ultra's 70.4 FPS shows a scaling efficiency of 45.9%, which is typical for a GPU of this class when handling the increased pixel count. The data suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has sufficient headroom to maintain playable frame rates even at the highest settings, but the 44% drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings confirms that pixel throughput is the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 370.1 FPS on Low, 299.7 FPS on Medium, 246.1 FPS on High, and 153.5 FPS on Ultra. These figures demonstrate a steady degradation as graphical fidelity increases, with the jump from High to Ultra producing the largest single-step drop of 92.6 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 263.1 FPS on Low, 213.4 FPS on Medium, 176.8 FPS on High, and 108.6 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at each setting shows reductions of 107 FPS (Low), 86.3 FPS (Medium), 69.3 FPS (High), and 44.9 FPS (Ultra). This pattern indicates that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are being taxed more heavily at 1440p, but the CPU is still able to keep up with the demand.

At 3840x2160, the performance metrics are 165.6 FPS on Low, 132.9 FPS on Medium, 110.8 FPS on High, and 70.4 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1440p to 4K is substantial at every setting, with the Low preset falling by 97.5 FPS and the Ultra preset by 38.2 FPS. The fact that 4K Low (165.6 FPS) still outperforms 1080p Ultra (153.5 FPS) underscores the GPU's ability to maintain high frame rates when the CPU is not the primary constraint. The data shows a consistent hierarchy where higher resolutions and settings always result in lower FPS, with no anomalies suggesting a driver or thermal issue.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Downfall, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 190th out of 1,741 total combos. This places it in the top 10.9% of all tested configurations, a strong showing that reflects the GPU's high percentile ranking. The GPU's 86th percentile status is the primary driver of this position, while the CPU's 78th percentile ranking ensures that it does not hold the combo back significantly.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Core i7-10700 with an average score of 20,746 (deltaPct 0), the Intel Core i5-12490F at 20,794 (deltaPct -0.3), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X at 20,680 (deltaPct 0.3). These small deltas indicate that the 5600GT is well-matched against its peers, and the combo's rank is more a function of the GPU's capabilities than the CPU's raw processing power. The GPU's nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA CMP 50HX with a score of 49,071 (deltaPct -0.7) and the Intel Arc A550M at 49,737 (deltaPct -2.1), show that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is competitive within its class, but the 190th rank suggests that other combinations with slightly faster CPUs or GPUs edge it out in Downfall's specific workload. The data confirms that this combo is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and capable of 4K at reduced settings, with the GPU being the definitive performance anchor.
