Overpower

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F sits in a tightly contested performance band. Its average benchmark score of 25005 places it within 0.4% of several comparable processors. The closest match is the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, which scores 24964, a mere 0.2% behind. The Intel Core i7-11850H trails by 0.3% with a score of 24935, while the Intel Core i7-13620H is 0.4% behind at 24911. On the other side, the AMD EPYC 9474F leads by 0.4% with a score of 25103. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in CPU-bound scenarios, and swapping between them would not produce a measurable difference in Overpower's frame rate.

The Intel Arc B370 presents a very different picture. Its average benchmark score of 1184 places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, a very low standing. Its nearest rivals are all older or lower-tier parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, effectively identical at 0.2% ahead. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% ahead, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% ahead. The AMD FirePro M2000 trails by 1.4% with a score of 1168. The data indicates that the Arc B370 behaves like a legacy-class graphics solution; any of these near-identical GPUs would produce similar results in Overpower, meaning the frame rates recorded for this combo are representative of a very low-end graphics tier.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results across resolutions reveal a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-limited. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 65 FPS. When the resolution increases to 2560x1440 at Low, the average drops to 58 FPS, a reduction of 7 frames. Moving to 3840x2160 at Low, the average falls further to 49 FPS. This consistent decline as resolution climbs points directly at the graphics processor as the bottleneck; a CPU-limited scenario would show far less scaling with resolution.

The settings scaling reinforces this. At 1920x1080, the jump from Low to Medium reduces the average from 65 to 41 FPS, a 24-frame penalty. High drops to 38 FPS, and Ultra falls to 31 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same progression yields 58, 36, 34, and 28 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, Low produces 49 FPS, Medium 31, High 28, and Ultra 24. The gap between Low and Medium is large at every resolution, while the difference between Medium and High is small. This pattern is characteristic of a GPU that is saturated quickly as shader workload increases. The CPU, with 6 cores and 12 threads on the Zen 4 architecture, is not the limiting factor here; its single-thread and multi-thread scores are strong enough to keep up, but the GPU cannot translate that headroom into higher frame rates.

The recorded data shows that at no resolution does the GPU allow the CPU to become the primary constraint. Even at 1080p Low, where the GPU load is lightest, the frame rate only reaches 65 FPS, which is modest for a modern action title. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the 1080p Low result would be much higher, since the Ryzen 5 8400F has ample compute headroom. Therefore, users should treat the GPU as the dominant factor in all tested configurations.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Overpower, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and the Intel Arc B370 ranks 3427 out of 3713 combos. That places it in the lower portion of the field, with roughly 92% of tested systems performing better. The rank reflects the GPU's very low percentile standing more than the CPU's mid-pack score. The Ryzen 5 8400F sits in the 77th percentile among all CPUs, a respectable position, but the Arc B370's 5th percentile ranking drags the overall result down sharply.

The combo rank is consistent with the measured FPS data. A system that cannot sustain 60 FPS at 1080p on Medium settings, let alone at higher resolutions, will naturally rank low among all tested configurations. The CPU alone would not explain this; paired with a stronger GPU, the same processor would likely rank much higher. The data indicates that the Arc B370 is the deciding factor in this pairing's low standing.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Overpower? The answer depends entirely on the resolution and settings target. At 3840x2160, there is no playable setting. The best recorded result is 49 FPS at Low, which falls short of the 60 FPS playability threshold. At 2560x1440, the situation is similar: no settings reach 60 FPS, with Low producing 58 FPS, just below the threshold. At 1920x1080, the system finally achieves playability, but only at Low settings, where it averages 65 FPS. Medium falls to 41 FPS, High to 38, and Ultra to 31.

The verdict by resolution is clear. 4K and 1440p are not viable for 60 FPS gameplay at any tested preset. 1080p is viable only on Low. Users targeting higher visual quality will need to accept frame rates well below 60, or consider a different GPU. The playable threshold of 60 FPS is met only in the single configuration of 1080p Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded averages are as follows. Low settings produce 49 FPS. Medium produces 31 FPS, with a minimum of 26 and a maximum of 35. High produces 28 FPS. Ultra produces 24 FPS. The Medium result is the only one at this resolution with recorded min and max values, showing a narrow band of 26 to 35 FPS, indicating fairly consistent frame delivery but at a level far below playability.

At 2560x1440, Low produces 58 FPS. Medium produces 36 FPS, with a minimum of 31 and a maximum of 42. High produces 34 FPS. Ultra produces 28 FPS. The Medium range of 31 to 42 FPS shows some variance, but all values remain below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, Low produces 65 FPS, the only configuration in the entire dataset that clears 60 FPS. Medium produces 41 FPS, with a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 47. High produces 38 FPS. Ultra produces 31 FPS. The Medium band of 34 to 47 FPS is consistent with the pattern seen at other resolutions: the GPU simply does not have enough headroom to maintain higher frame rates when settings increase.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset meets the 60 FPS threshold. The best recorded average is 49 FPS at Low, but this is below playability, so there is no recommended setting.

At 2560x1440, no preset meets the 60 FPS threshold. The best recorded average is 58 FPS at Low, again below the playability line, so there is no recommended setting.

At 1920x1080, Low is the only playable preset, with an average of 65 FPS. This is the single configuration in the entire dataset that clears 60 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall short, with averages of 41, 38, and 31 FPS respectively. Users who prioritize smooth gameplay should run the game at 1080p with Low settings; any increase in quality will drop the frame rate below the playable threshold.
