Downfall

Downfall is a horror title released on 2016-02-28, and this page covers the measured performance of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. The database marks every FPS row as measured rather than estimated, with results spanning three resolutions and four presets. The combo ranks 2035th out of 3716 tested combinations in Downfall, a middle-of-the-field result even though the CPU sits at the 95th percentile of all CPUs and the GPU at the 81st percentile of all GPUs.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution has a clear, monotonic effect on every preset in this dataset. At High settings, the average frame rate moves from 152 fps at 1920x1080 to 108 fps at 2560x1440, and then to 67 fps at 3840x2160. At Low settings, the same progression is 226 fps, 162 fps, and 101 fps. Medium moves from 185 fps to 132 fps to 82 fps, while Ultra moves from 95 fps to 68 fps to 42 fps. In no row does a higher resolution produce a higher average frame rate.

The shape of those numbers points to a workload that becomes more GPU-limited as pixel count rises. The lowest average in the entire measured set is 42 fps at 4K Ultra. The highest is 226 fps at 1080p Low. Even the Low preset falls from 226 fps at 1080p to 101 fps at 4K, which suggests that the RTX 4070 is handling a much heavier rendering load at 4K regardless of how simple the preset is.

At 1080p, all four presets keep averages at 95 fps or above. The 1080p Ultra result of 95 fps is the weakest 1080p row, but it is still higher than the 4K High average of 67 fps. That comparison underlines how much impact resolution has: moving from 1080p Ultra to 4K High yields a lower frame rate even though the preset quality is reduced. Similarly, the 1440p Ultra average of 68 fps is nearly identical to the 4K High average of 67 fps, showing that the resolution increase roughly cancels out the preset difference.

The only row in the dataset with an average below 50 is 4K Ultra at 42 fps. This is the point where the GPU is most saturated, and it makes sense that the most demanding resolution and preset combination would produce the lowest measured result. The Medium preset rows also provide the only min/max values in the dataset, and they follow the same resolution trend: 1080p Medium is 185 fps with a 157-to-213 range, 1440p Medium is 132 fps with a 112-to-152 range, and 4K Medium is 82 fps with a 70-to-95 range.

Settings Recommendations

Using the measured rows as the basis, the Medium preset offers the most complete and balanced experience. It is the only preset with min and max values at every resolution, which makes it the only preset where the database shows a frame rate window rather than just an average. At 1080p Medium, the average is 185 fps, the minimum is 157 fps, and the maximum is 213 fps. At 1440p Medium, the average is 132 fps, the minimum is 112 fps, and the maximum is 152 fps. At 4K Medium, the average is 82 fps, the minimum is 70 fps, and the maximum is 95 fps.

At 1080p, Medium is the recommended preset in this data. Its documented minimum of 157 fps is higher than the High preset’s average of 152 fps, meaning the slowest recorded Medium frame is faster than the typical High frame on average. Low reaches 226 fps, but it has no min/max data and would require accepting the lowest settings tier. High at 152 fps is still a strong result, but Ultra drops to 95 fps, which is the lowest 1080p row.

At 1440p, Medium again stands out. The Medium average is 132 fps, and its minimum is 112 fps. Both are higher than the High preset’s average of 108 fps. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 68 fps, which is below the Medium minimum of 112 fps, so Ultra is more likely to produce visible dips than Medium. Low is the fastest preset at 162 fps, but it lacks a min/max range in the data.

At 4K, the preset trade-off is tighter. Low averages 101 fps, Medium averages 82 fps, High averages 67 fps, and Ultra averages 42 fps. Notably, High’s average of 67 fps is lower than Medium’s recorded minimum of 70 fps. That means selecting High does not provide a smoother measured result than Medium; it simply lowers the average while increasing the preset quality. Medium is therefore the highest 4K preset that remains above the 70 fps mark in the recorded minimum. Low is the only 4K preset with a higher average, and Ultra is the only row in the entire set with an average below 50.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 powers this measured configuration. Its launch MSRP is 599 USD. The card is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture at 5 nm on TSMC, using the AD104 chip with 35,800 million transistors and a 294 mm² die. It is part of the GeForce 40-series, was released on 2023-04-11, is listed as end-of-life, and has the GeForce 50 line as its successor.

The RTX 4070 has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, with 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is 1313 MHz, quoted as 21 Gbps effective. The base clock is 1920 MHz and the boost clock is 2475 MHz. The card includes 5888 shading units, 184 texture units, 64 ROPs, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores. Its pixel rate is 158.4 GPixel/s, texture rate is 455.4 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 29.15 TFLOPS. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16, matching the CPU’s Gen 4, 16-lane PCIe support.

How do these specifications relate to Downfall’s measured results? The 4K Ultra average of 42 fps is the lowest number in the dataset, which is consistent with the card being heavily loaded at that preset and resolution. The 4K Medium row, at 82 fps with a 70 fps minimum, shows the same GPU producing a more comfortable result once the preset is dialed back. At 1080p Low, the same card reaches 226 fps, demonstrating that the RTX 4070 has ample headroom when the rendering workload is small.

The CPU in this page, the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, is a Zen 5 Strix Halo processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, a base clock of 3.00 GHz, a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, 64 MB of shared L3 cache, and 256.0 GB/s of LPDDR5X quad-channel memory. It also includes Radeon 8060S integrated graphics, but the measured rows are for the discrete RTX 4070. The CPU’s specifications are constant across every FPS row, so the performance differences in the table come from resolution and preset changes rather than CPU variation.

The CPU and GPU memory systems are separate in this combo: the CPU has 256.0 GB/s of LPDDR5X bandwidth, while the GPU has 504.2 GB/s of GDDR6X bandwidth. The measured frame rates, particularly the large drop from 1080p to 4K, indicate that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute resources are the more likely limiting factor at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame field places this pairing at 2035th out of 3716 tested combinations in Downfall. That is a middle-of-the-table result, and it means the majority of tested combos rank above it. This is notable because the hardware itself has strong aggregate positions: the CPU is in the 95th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 81st percentile of all GPUs.

The CPU’s average benchmark score is 77740. In its nearest-rival list, it sits 1.6% above the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX, which has an average score of 76513, and 1.6% above the AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P, which has an average score of 76492. It is 2% above the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX, with an average score of 76212, and 1.7% below the Intel Core i9-14900K, with an average score of 79097. These are narrow aggregate gaps, which suggests the CPU is competitive with its immediate rivals but not dramatically ahead of them.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 37648. It is 0.1% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla P4, which scores 37628, and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, which scores 37507. It is 1.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon PRO W6400, which scores 37157, and 1.3% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile, which scores 38135. Again, the aggregate spread is small, so the game-specific rank of 2035 is not contradicted by these benchmark positions.

The CPU’s Cinebench R23 multicore score is 35314, with a single-core score of 2044. Its Geekbench scores are 20992 multicore and 2464 single-core. Passmark multithread is 54934 and single-thread is 4147. These numbers support the CPU’s high all-CPU percentile, but Downfall’s rank shows that a strong processor does not automatically translate into an elite game-specific slot. The game-specific rank is a separate measurement, tied to the measured FPS rows for this combination of CPU, GPU, resolution, and preset.

The table lists all 12 measured rows from the dataset. Medium is the only preset with min and max values at every resolution, and those three rows are the only ones with a frame range in the source data. The remaining Low, High, and Ultra rows have null min/max values, meaning the database records only their averages for Downfall.
