The CPU alone reaches the 87th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU reaches the 61st percentile of all GPUs, but the in-game combo placement is below the middle of the database. The measured rows show a capable 1080p performer that remains strong at 1440p and can hold a 60 average at 4K High, while the 4K Ultra preset falls to 38.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in Downfall is 2270 out of 3716 tested combinations, with the data marked as measured. A ranking at that position places this pairing in the lower portion of the field for this specific horror game, despite the CPU’s strong standalone standing.

The CPU’s percentile among all CPUs is 87, and its average benchmark score is 40518. The GPU’s percentile among all GPUs is 61, with an average benchmark score of 17639. The in-game rank is lower than either of those standalone positions would suggest by itself. This indicates that the pairing, while competitive in general compute terms, is only a mid-tier combination in Downfall’s measured results.

The CPU has a tight cluster of nearest rivals in aggregate average score: the Intel Core 7 253PE scores 40557 with a deltaPct of -0.1, the Intel Core 5 223PE scores 40585 with a deltaPct of -0.2, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40431 with a deltaPct of 0.2, and the Intel Xeon 6507P scores 40426 with a deltaPct of 0.2. Those differences are small, which reinforces that the CPU is not the weak link in this combo.

The GPU’s nearest rivals by average score are similarly close: the AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666 with a deltaPct of -0.2, the AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588 with a deltaPct of 0.3, the AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551 with a deltaPct of 0.5, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509 with a deltaPct of 0.7. This places the RTX 4060 near the middle of a tightly packed group in aggregate GPU benchmarks.

In aggregate benchmarks, the RTX 4060 records a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 95057, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 48643. Passmark results include a G3D score of 19545, a G2D score of 1037, and a GPU compute score of 9213. DirectX-specific Passmark scores are 236 for DirectX 9, 175 for DirectX 11, 103 for DirectX 10, and 76 for DirectX 12.

In Downfall, the GPU’s role is clear from the measured frame rates. At 3840x2160, Low averages 90 fps, Medium averages 73 fps, High averages 60 fps, and Ultra averages 38 fps. The 8 GB frame buffer and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth support playable averages at Low, Medium, and High at 4K, while Ultra is the only 4K preset with a sub-60 average. The 128-bit bus does not prevent the card from reaching those numbers in this game.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS pattern across resolutions shows a consistent downward slope as pixel count increases. At Low, the average goes from 202 at 1920x1080 to 144 at 2560x1440 to 90 at 3840x2160. At Medium, it goes from 165 at 1080p to 118 at 1440p to 73 at 4K. At High, it goes from 135 at 1080p to 97 at 1440p to 60 at 4K. At Ultra, it goes from 85 at 1080p to 60 at 1440p to 38 at 4K.

Every preset follows the same shape: 1080p is the fastest, 1440p is the intermediate step, and 4K is the slowest. The uniformity of that scaling points toward the GPU as the limiting component at higher resolutions. If the CPU were the primary constraint, the frame rate would not drop so systematically as the resolution rises. The fact that 1080p Low reaches 202 avg fps, while 4K Low falls to 90 avg fps, reinforces that the heavier pixel workload is the main factor in the measured decline.

The Medium preset is the only one with reported minimum and maximum values. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 140 and the maximum is 190. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 100 and the maximum is 136. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 62 and the maximum is 84. These documented floors show that even the slower Medium result maintains a minimum above 60.

A: At 1920x1080 Ultra, the average is 85. At 2560x1440 Ultra, the average is exactly 60. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average drops to 38. The 1440p Ultra row is the only Ultra result at the 60 mark, and no Ultra row reports a minimum.

Q: What do the measured Medium rows say about frame stability?

A: The Medium preset is the only setting with min and max values. At 1080p, Medium averages 165 with a 140 minimum and 190 maximum. At 1440p, Medium averages 118 with a 100 minimum and 136 maximum. At 4K, Medium averages 73 with a 62 minimum and 84 maximum. Every reported Medium minimum is above 60.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows offer a clear path for each resolution. For 1920x1080, Medium provides 165 avg fps with a documented minimum of 140, which is a high frame rate with an explicit stability floor. High is also strong at 135 avg fps, but it lacks a reported minimum. Low at 202 is the fastest option, while Ultra at 85 is the slowest 1080p preset.

At 2560x1440, Medium again stands out: 118 avg fps, 100 minimum, and 136 maximum. High at 97 has no min/max data, and Low at 144 is faster but carries no reported minimum. Ultra at 1440p averages exactly 60, but without a min/max row its frame-time consistency is undocumented. Medium is the better recommendation among the measured rows because it combines a high average with a confirmed minimum above 100.

At 3840x2160, Medium is the safest measured option: 73 avg fps with a 62 minimum. High averages 60 but has no min/max data, so a drop below 60 cannot be ruled out from the measured information. Low averages 90 and is the fastest 4K preset, while Ultra averages 38 and is the only 4K preset below 60. For a smoother 4K experience, Medium is the recommended preset based on the available measurements.

CPU Role

The CPU in this combo is the Intel Core Ultra X7 368H, a mobile processor in the Core Ultra Series 3 lineup. It is built on Panther Lake at a 3 nm process node. The chip has 16 cores and 16 threads, so thread count matches core count. Base clock is 2.00 GHz and boost clock is 5.00 GHz. The CPU carries 192 KB of L1 cache per core, 2.5 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is dual-channel LPDDR5X with 153.6 GB/s bandwidth. The CPU also includes an Arc B390 integrated GPU, though the measured FPS rows on this page are for the RTX 4060 combo.

The CPU’s compute benchmarks show a strong balance of single-thread and multi-thread performance. Cinebench R23 multicore score is 28221 and single-core is 3984. Cinebench R20 multicore is 11852 and single-core is 1673. Cinebench R15 multicore is 2844 and single-core is 401. Passmark multithread score is 32956 and single-thread score is 4005. Other Passmark results include data compression 312927, data encryption 25228, extended instructions 25669, floating point math 105681, integer math 88083, physics 2857, random string sorting 38093, and find prime numbers 321.

In Downfall, the CPU is unlikely to be the main limiter at higher resolutions. The measured FPS falls consistently from 1080p to 1440p to 4K, and the 1080p Low average reaches 202 fps. That high result shows the CPU can feed the GPU with enough work at lower resolution. The game’s release date of 2016-02-28 also points to a title that may not need all 16 cores, but the data does not include per-core utilization. What the measured rows show is a pairing whose frame rates scale with graphics load, not one that stalls on the CPU side.
