Downfall

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 presents a compelling dataset for Downfall, a horror title released in 2016. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $299, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 549 USD. This combination ranks 554th out of 1741 tested combos, placing it in the upper third of the database. The measured FPS values span from a low of 53.9 at 4K Ultra to a high of 297.2 at 1080p Low, offering a wide operational envelope for players.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear and consistent drop in average FPS as resolution increases. At High settings, the 1080p result is 199.2 FPS, which falls to 140.7 FPS at 1440p and further to 85.9 FPS at 4K. The scaling pattern is consistent across all presets. At Low settings, the 1080p result is 297.2 FPS, which drops to 211.6 FPS at 1440p and 132.8 FPS at 4K. At Medium settings, the 1080p result is 239.9 FPS, dropping to 173 FPS at 1440p and 107.7 FPS at 4K. At Ultra settings, the 1080p result is 121.5 FPS, dropping to 91.2 FPS at 1440p and 53.9 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured value across all settings and resolutions, indicating a hard limit for this combination at maximum settings. The data suggests that the GPU is the limiting component as resolution increases, since the CPU's performance headroom is evident at 1080p where frame rates reach 297.2 FPS. The gap between 1440p and 4K is larger than the gap between 1080p and 1440p, reinforcing the notion that pixel count drives the GPU workload.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K resolution, the High preset delivers an average of 85.9 FPS, while Medium delivers 107.7 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 53.9 FPS, which is the lowest measured value across all resolutions and settings. Therefore, High is the recommended preset for 4K to maintain a smooth experience. At 1440p, Ultra achieves 91.2 FPS, making it the best choice for visual fidelity without sacrificing performance. At 1080p, Ultra reaches 121.5 FPS, allowing for maximum settings. The Low preset at 1080p reaches 297.2 FPS, which is the highest measured value, but the visual trade-off is significant. The Medium preset at 1080p offers 239.9 FPS, which is a good middle ground for high refresh rate displays. The data suggests that the Ultra preset is only viable at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K users should stick to High or Medium to avoid the steep drop to 53.9 FPS.
