Downfall

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination in Downfall shows a steep drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 252 at 1080p to 180 at 2560x1440, then down to 112 at 2160p. The 4K value is less than half of the 1080p value, indicating that the graphics card is the primary factor limiting performance at higher resolutions. The pattern repeats for Low, Medium, and Ultra presets: at Low settings, 1080p reaches 376 FPS, 1440p drops to 269, and 2160p falls to 167; Medium goes from 308 to 220 to 137, and Ultra moves from 158 down to 113 at 1440p and finally 70 at 4K. In every preset, the decline from 1440p to 2160p is larger than the drop from 1080p to 1440p, a signature of a GPU-bound workload where the renderer is being pushed beyond its pixel throughput capacity. The smallest relative decline occurs in the Low preset, where 4K still maintains 167 average FPS — a strong indicator that the CPU can feed the GPU well at high frame rates, but the RTX 5070 Ti's compute is the bottleneck across all settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the game Downfall, which is a Horror title, the Ryzen 5 7600 + RTX 5070 Ti pairing is ranked 384th out of 3716 tested combinations. This is the 88th percentile (mathematically, 384/3716 ≈ 10.3% of all combos rank above it), meaning that the majority of builds tested in this database outperform this specific pairing. The rank reflects the overall FPS measured across the resolution and settings matrix, and it suggests that while the RTX 5070 Ti is a strong GPU on paper, many other tested systems — likely those paired with higher-end CPUs or in lower-resolution scenarios — achieve greater average performance. Notably, the CPU itself ranks 78th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU ranks 86th percentile among all GPUs, but their combined ranking is lower than each component's individual percentile. This indicates that the CPU and GPU do not operate perfectly in tandem for this game, perhaps due to the GPU being the limiting factor at higher presets and not fully utilising the CPU's available headroom.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 Ti packs 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s — a figure that is crucial for high‑resolutions textures and large frame buffers in a horror title. The GPU's boost clock is 2452 MHz, based on a 2295 MHz base clock. With 8960 shading units and 280 texture mapping units, the pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s. These figures indicate that the card is built for high–detail scenes, and the measured FPS data supports this, because even at 4K High the average sits at 112 FPS, which is already above a typical 60 FPS threshold. The GPU's overall benchmark performance places it at average 49957 (avgBenchmarkScore), and its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (deltaPct -2.0) and AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (deltaPct +3.1). In terms of raw score, the RTX 5070 Ti is 2% behind the RX 6900 XT and 3.1% ahead of the RX 6800 XT; these small deltas indicate that the GPU sits in a competitive band. In Downfall, the GPU's role as the limiting component is marked: at 1080p Low the scene reaches 376 FPS, but by 4K Ultra it drops to 70 FPS, a drop that would be even more extreme if the CPU were not feeding enough geometry. The 16 GB memory is not pushed to its limit, but high resolution demanding assets can cause the frame rate to scale downward.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The exact measured averages, and the minima/maxima where recorded, are shown in the table below.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 112 | – | – |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 167 | – | – |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 137 | 116 | 157 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 70 | – | – |

| 2560x1440 | High | 180 | – | – |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 269 | – | – |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 220 | 187 | 253 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 113 | – | – |

| 1920x1080 | High | 252 | – | – |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 376 | – | – |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 308 | 262 | 354 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 158 | – | – |

For only the Medium settings, the minimum and maximum FPS are recorded: at 1080p the range is 262–354, at 1440p it is 187–253, and at 4K it is 116–157. The spread suggests that the game can produce frame spikes, notably at 1080p where there is a 92 FPS gap between the low and high frames. This variability is typical for a horror title that may load large assets during gameplay. The 4K Ultra value of 70 FPS is the lowest average on the table, just below the typically desirable 60 FPS line, so while playable, it would be considered one of the least consistent settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6‑core/12-thread processor from the 7000 series, operating at a base of 3.80 GHz and a boost of 5.10 GHz. It has 6 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB the entire L3 cache. In the game data, the high CPU headroom is not effectively used because the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenes. At low detail and 1080p, the CPU is still capable of generating 376 FPS, which demonstrates that it can keep up with the graphics card’s appetite at lower render loads. The CPU's own benchmark scores are: Cinebench R23 multi‑core 12735 and single‑core 1852; Geekbench multi‑core 13413 and single‑core 2521; a PassMark multi‑threaded score of 27058 and single‑thread 3910. These place it at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, with the nearest rival being the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (average 26402, deltaPct -0.3%) and Intel Core i9‑11900KF (avg 26212, deltaPct +0.4). The difference between rivals is tiny, but the CPU is mid‑high end, so it can feed a 300 W GPU like the RTX 5070 Ti without impeding. However, in Downfall, the CPU’s influence shrinks as the resolution increases: at 1080p the FPS climbs from 158 (Ultra) to 376 (Low) while at 4K it only moves from 70 to 167. This shows that the graphics load is far more significant than the CPU’s thread count, and the 6 cores are not a bottleneck anywhere in the tested range.

FAQ

Q: What is the FPS at 1440p with Ultra settings?

A: The measured average FPS is 113 at 2560x1440 with the Ultra preset.

Q: Does the combo deliver a stable 60 FPS at room‐typical 4K resolution?

A: While High settings at 4K reach 112 FPS, the 4K Ultra preset only averages 70 FPS, and the Low preset hits 167 FPS, so the game can exceed that threshold.

Q: Which settings produce the largest minimum frames recorded?

A: The recorded minima are provided for Medium: 1080p 262, 1440p 187, and 2160p 116. Neither High nor Low/Ultra has min/max data in the dataset.

Q: How does the CPU perform compared to its nearest rivals in the overall benchmark?

A: The Ryzen 5 7600 has a deltaPct of +0.4% against the Intel Core i9‑11900KF (avg score 26212) and -0.3% versus the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (avg 26402).

Q: What is the best FPS observed on this combo?

A: The peak average FPS is 376 at 1920x1080 with Low settings; this is the highest number among all measured rows.

Q: At which resolution does the GPU bottleneck become apparent?

A: The data shows that moving from 1440p to 2160p cuts the average FPS by roughly 40%, so the warp in the numbers is major at 2160p especially on High.

Settings Recommendations

Looking at the measured FPS, the most balanced experience depends on the target display. For a 60 Hz 4K display, the High preset delivers 112 FPS, well above the refresh rate, allowing for smooth gameplay; Ultra at 4K yields only 70 FPS, which is still playable but might puncture a 75‑70 acceptance. On a 1440p panel, Ultra’s 113 FPS is also excellent, while Medium reaches 220 and Low up to 269—these framerates support high refresh monitors up to 240 Hz with Medium settings. At 1080p, all presets exceed 150 FPS, including Low at 376, so to maximise performance the user can choose Ultra at 158 FPS and have a great visual quality with frame speeds above 60. Overall, the datasheet suggests that for the best visual quality/ performance trade‑off, one should use High at 2160p, Ultra at 1440p, and any preset at 1080p because even the Ultra setting cannot drop below 158 average; the only caveat being the GPU is underutilised at 1080p Medium/Low in this game, but the resolution scaling is pronounced. In practice, leaning toward the High preset at 4K or Ultra at 1440p gives an excellent gameplay feel, while avoiding the Ultra preset across 4K since it barely clears 70 FPS and might attack the frame time. The data also shows that the combination is exceptionally fast in a 1080p environment, making it a solid choice for esports usage, though Downfall is a horror title with no competitive aspect to consider.
