Downfall

Downfall is a 2016 horror title, and this benchmark entry measures it with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. The measured results place the combination 1649th out of 1741 tested combos, which puts it in the lower portion of the database. The CPU sits at the 78th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 43rd percentile of all GPUs; the in-game ranking reflects that split.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1649 out of 1741 places this pairing near the bottom of the tested list in Downfall. The CPU alone is much better positioned: the Ryzen 5 5600X has a percentile vs all CPUs of 78 and an average benchmark score of 20680. The GPU is the weaker half, with a percentile vs all GPUs of 43 and an average benchmark score of 8713.

The gap between those two percentile values is large enough to explain the combo’s game rank. When the CPU is a 78th-percentile part and the GPU is a 43rd-percentile part, the final game result tends to follow the GPU’s level. In Downfall, the measured frame rates confirm this pattern: the CPU has strong benchmark scores, yet the combo still lands at 1649th. Its nearest CPU rivals are all very close in overall score, which means the processor is not the outlier in this pairing. The weak point is on the graphics side.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 uses the TU117 chip on the Turing architecture and a 12 nm process. It has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, with 128.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The base clock is 1485 MHz, the boost clock is 1665 MHz, and the memory clock is 2001 MHz, rated at 8 Gbps effective. The card has 896 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Its pixel rate is 53.28 GPixel/s, texture rate is 93.24 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 2.984 TFLOPS.

These specifications line up with the measured Downfall results. At 1920x1080, the card moves from 40.4 average FPS on Ultra to 92 average FPS on Low. At 3840x2160, the same settings span 18.9 to 44.2. The resolution scaling is steep. High preset drops from 62.3 at 1920x1080 to 26.2 at 3840x2160. Medium drops from 75 to 33.6. The 4 GB VRAM capacity and 128-bit memory interface are the parts of the spec sheet most likely to limit higher-resolution performance, though the measured data does not include VRAM usage values.

The GPU’s own benchmark position is unremarkable. Its average benchmark score is 8713, and its nearest rivals are separated by deltas of only -0.5 to 0.5. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile scores 8746 with a deltaPct of -0.4, the AMD Radeon 550X scores 8749 with -0.4, the NVIDIA Quadro P2200 scores 8671 with 0.5, and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 scores 8761 with -0.5. The GTX 1650 is not an outlier among those parts; it sits in the middle of a tight group.

A: The best measured 3840x2160 result is Low at 44.2 average FPS. Medium is 33.6, High is 26.2, and Ultra is 18.9. Low is clearly the only usable preset at that resolution based on the data.

Q: Which component is stronger in this pairing?

A: The CPU is stronger. The Ryzen 5 5600X has a percentile vs all CPUs of 78 and an average benchmark score of 20680. The GTX 1650 has a percentile vs all GPUs of 43 and an average benchmark score of 8713. The combo’s overall rank of 1649 out of 1741 indicates the GPU is the limiting side.

Q: How does the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X compare to its nearest CPU rivals?

A: Its average benchmark score is 20680. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT scores 20740 with a deltaPct of -0.3, the Intel Core i7-10700 scores 20746 with -0.3, the Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20794 with -0.5, and the Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20538 with 0.7. These are all very close results.

Q: How does the GTX 1650 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: Its average benchmark score is 8713. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile scores 8746 with -0.4, the AMD Radeon 550X scores 8749 with -0.4, the NVIDIA Quadro P2200 scores 8671 with 0.5, and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 scores 8761 with -0.5.

Q: Is the 4 GB VRAM enough for Downfall?

A: The card has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus with 128.1 GB/s bandwidth. The measured frame rates show a steep drop at higher resolutions, but the data does not report VRAM usage, so it cannot directly confirm whether VRAM capacity is the limiting factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All measured rows in the FACT PACK are average FPS values; min and max values are not reported.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

| 3840x2160 | High | 26.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 44.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 33.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 18.9 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 45.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 62.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 55 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 26 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 62.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 92 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 75 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 40.4 |

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent. Higher presets cost more frames, and resolution increases cost a large number of frames. The Low preset at 1920x1080 is the highest measured average at 92. The Ultra preset at 3840x2160 is the lowest at 18.9.

Settings Recommendations

The best measured balance in this data is 1920x1080 Medium. It produces 75 average FPS, which is well above the High preset’s 62.3 and still leaves the Low preset’s 92 as the only faster measured option. Medium also avoids the steep cost of Ultra, which drops to 40.4 at the same resolution.

At 2560x1440, Low is the only measured setting with an average above 55. Medium is exactly 55, High is 45.4, and Ultra is 26. If 2560x1440 is the target resolution, Low is the practical preset in the data. At 3840x2160, Low at 44.2 is the only measured setting above 33.6, making it the only reasonable choice for that resolution. For most systems using this combo, 1920x1080 Medium is the strongest measured compromise between preset quality and frame rate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a 6-core, 12-thread Zen 3 processor on AMD Socket AM4. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz, boost clock is 4.60 GHz, and TDP is 65 W. The L3 cache is 32 MB. The processor’s benchmark results are solid across both single-thread and multi-thread tests. Cinebench R23 multicore scores 18578, while single-core scores 2622. Passmark multithread scores 21858, and single-thread scores 3364. In 3DMark, max-threads scores 5588 and single-thread scores 917.

These numbers put the CPU at the 78th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20680. Its nearest rivals are nearly identical in overall score, confirming that the 5600X is a capable desktop processor in this database. The CPU’s effective memory bandwidth is 51.2 GB/s from dual-channel DDR4 support, and it uses PCIe Gen 4 with 20 CPU lanes.

In Downfall, the CPU role appears to be secondary to the GPU. The measured frame rates scale strongly with resolution and preset level, which are GPU-driven variables. The 1920x1080 Low result of 92 and the 3840x2160 Low result of 44.2 are the same preset at different resolutions, and the difference is large. That kind of scaling points to the GTX 1650 as the performance limit. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with its high single-thread scores, provide enough headroom that the processor is not the reason this combo ranks 1649th out of 1741.
