Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the Intel Arc B370 is a combination that struggles with Overpower, a 2023 action title. Benchmark data from the database shows that this system can only reach a playable 60 FPS at 1080p with Low settings, and even then it barely clears the threshold. At higher resolutions or more demanding presets, the frame rate falls well short of smooth play.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded FPS figures for this combo reveal a clear pattern: performance degrades sharply as resolution and graphical preset increase. At 3840x2160, the game runs at an average of 28 FPS on High, 49 FPS on Low, 31 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 26 and maximum of 35), and 24 FPS on Ultra. None of these averages approach the 60 FPS playable threshold. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is substantial: 49 FPS versus 31 FPS, a 58% drop when moving from the lowest to the middle preset.

At 2560x1440, the results are similarly disappointing. High settings average 34 FPS, Low averages 58 FPS, Medium averages 36 FPS (minimum 31, maximum 42), and Ultra averages 28 FPS. The Low preset at 1440p comes close to 60 FPS but still falls short by 2 FPS. The step from Low to Medium again costs a large portion of performance, dropping from 58 to 36 FPS, a 38% reduction.

At 1920x1080, the picture improves only marginally. High settings average 38 FPS, Low averages 65 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS (minimum 34, maximum 47), and Ultra averages 31 FPS. The only configuration that exceeds 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 65 FPS. Even at 1080p, the jump from Low to Medium is drastic: from 65 to 41 FPS, a 37% loss. The recorded data indicates that the Intel Arc B370 simply cannot sustain high frame rates beyond the lowest quality level.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is as follows. At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The highest average is 49 FPS on Low, which is still below the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, again no preset reaches 60 FPS; the best is Low at 58 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only option that clears 60 FPS, with an average of 65 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60, with averages of 41, 38, and 31 FPS respectively. Therefore, the best settings per resolution are: 1080p Low (65 FPS), 1440p none (Low is 58 FPS), and 4K none (Low is 49 FPS). The database shows that this combination cannot provide a smooth experience at any resolution other than 1080p with the lowest graphical preset.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Overpower at 60 FPS on a 1440p monitor?

A: No. The recorded data shows that at 2560x1440, even the Low preset averages only 58 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra are all significantly lower, at 36, 34, and 28 FPS respectively.

Q: What is the highest graphical preset that maintains 60 FPS at 1080p?

A: Only the Low preset achieves 60 FPS at 1920x1080, with an average of 65 FPS. The next step up, Medium, drops to 41 FPS, so no other preset is playable.

Q: Why is the frame rate so much higher on Low compared to Medium?

A: The performance gap between Low and Medium is large across all resolutions. At 1080p, the average FPS falls from 65 to 41, a 37% drop. This indicates that the Intel Arc B370 is heavily stressed by the additional graphical workload of the Medium preset, making Low the only viable setting for smooth gameplay.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this combination?

A: The data strongly suggests the GPU is the bottleneck. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 ranks in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel Arc B370 ranks in the 5th percentile among all GPUs. The GPU's average benchmark score is 1184, while the CPU's average benchmark score is 20468. The frame rate scales with resolution and preset changes in a way that is typical of a GPU-bound system.

Q: How does this combo compare to other tested configurations in Overpower?

A: It ranks 3427th out of 3713 tested combos, placing it in the bottom 8% of the database. This indicates that most other CPU and GPU pairings deliver better performance in this game.

Q: Can the system handle 4K gaming in Overpower?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest average FPS is 49 on Low, which is far below the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 31 FPS, High 28 FPS, and Ultra 24 FPS. None of these are playable.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers the question directly: this PC can run Overpower, but only under very specific conditions. The verdict by resolution shows that at 3840x2160 and 2560x1440, there are no playable settings (none reach 60 FPS). At 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only playable option, with an average of 65 FPS. This means that the system can deliver a smooth experience only at 1080p with the lowest graphical quality. For anyone expecting to play at 1440p or 4K, or with higher visual fidelity, this combination will not meet the 60 FPS standard. The Intel Arc B370, with its 5th percentile GPU ranking, is clearly the limiting factor, and even the strong Ryzen 5 5600 CPU cannot compensate for that weakness.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results make it evident that the GPU is the dominant constraint in this pairing. Consider the scaling across resolutions at the Low preset: 1080p yields 65 FPS, 1440p yields 58 FPS, and 4K yields 49 FPS. This steady decline with increasing resolution is a classic sign of GPU-bound performance. Similarly, the transition from Low to Medium at any resolution causes a disproportionate drop in FPS, far larger than what a CPU limitation would produce. For example, at 1080p, moving from Low to Medium reduces the average from 65 to 41 FPS, a 37% loss, while the CPU workload changes little. The CPU itself is not the problem: the Ryzen 5 5600 ranks in the 74th percentile of all CPUs, and its multi-core and single-core scores (such as Cinebench R23 multicore 18309 and singlecore 2584) are solid. But the GPU's 5th percentile ranking and its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 indicate that it is an entry-level integrated part, far too weak for demanding action games at higher settings. At 1080p Low, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, but as soon as the preset rises, the GPU becomes the ceiling. At 1440p and 4K, even the lowest settings overwhelm the GPU, and the CPU cannot help.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Overpower, this pairing sits at rank 3427 out of 3713. That places it in the bottom 8% of all configurations, meaning the vast majority of other CPU and GPU combinations deliver better performance. The CPU's individual standing is much higher, ranking in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, but the GPU's 5th percentile ranking drags the overall combo down. The nearest rivals to the Intel Arc B370, such as the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (with a delta of -0.2%) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (delta -0.5%), have benchmark scores within 1% of the B370, reinforcing that this GPU is on par with very old, low-end hardware. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600, by contrast, is competitive with modern processors like the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (delta 0.1%) and the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (delta 0.2%). The stark contrast between the two components explains why this combo ranks so poorly: a capable CPU paired with a severely underpowered GPU. For Overpower, this is not a recommended configuration for anything beyond 1080p Low.
