Overpower

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded measurements for Overpower with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Intel Arc B390 combination show a clear pattern: this system struggles to maintain fluid frame rates at higher quality presets, and only the Low preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold, and only at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. Across all three tested resolutions, the average frame rates decline steadily as graphical settings increase, and the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the data shows a narrow band of performance. The Low preset delivers an average of 54 FPS, which is close to playable but still below the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 34 FPS on average, with minimum and maximum readings of 29 and 39 FPS respectively. High settings yield 32 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 26 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 28 FPS, indicating that the graphics card is the dominant bottleneck at this resolution, as the CPU overhead from lower settings cannot compensate for the pixel throughput demands.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly. Low settings reach an average of 64 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 40 FPS with a recorded range of 34 to 46 FPS. High settings produce 37 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 31 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra here is 33 FPS, a wider gap than at 4K, which suggests that the CPU begins to contribute more meaningfully at this intermediate resolution. The minimum frame rates at Medium, 34 FPS, indicate that even moderate settings can produce noticeable stutter during busy scenes.

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the numbers are the strongest but still limited. Low settings average 72 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 45 FPS with a range of 38 to 52 FPS. High settings yield 42 FPS average, and Ultra produces 35 FPS. The gap from Low to Ultra is 37 FPS, the largest of any resolution, which reinforces that at 1080p the CPU has more headroom to push frame rates when the GPU load is reduced, but the GPU still cannot sustain high presets.

The minimum FPS data is only available for the Medium preset at each resolution: 29 FPS at 4K, 34 FPS at 1440p, and 38 FPS at 1080p. These lows are significantly below the averages, suggesting that frame time consistency is poor even at Medium, which would manifest as visible hitches during combat or traversal. The maximum FPS values, also only recorded for Medium, are 39, 46, and 52 FPS respectively, meaning that even the best-case frame delivery at Medium never approaches the 60 FPS target.

Overall, the measured FPS data indicates that this combination is only viable for Low settings, and even then only at 1440p and 1080p. The 4K resolution fails to reach 60 FPS on any preset, with the best case being 54 FPS at Low. The recorded numbers also show that the jump from Low to Medium costs between 20 and 27 FPS depending on resolution, which is a steep penalty for a single tier of graphical improvement.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific CPU and GPU pairing at rank 3301 out of 3713 tested combinations for Overpower. This places the combo in the bottom 11 percent of all tested systems, meaning that approximately 89 percent of recorded configurations deliver higher average frame rates in this game. The rank is computed across all tested CPU and GPU pairings, not just similar hardware, so it reflects the overall competitive landscape of the database.

The GPU is the primary factor dragging this rank down. The Intel Arc B390 sits at the 9th percentile among all GPUs in the database based on its average benchmark score of 1482. Its nearest rivals in the GPU database are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, which scores 1463 and is 1.3 percent slower, the NVIDIA GeForce 800M at 1460 and 1.5 percent slower, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM at 1446 and 2.5 percent slower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 at 1443 and 2.7 percent slower. These are all entry-level or legacy mobile and desktop parts, which contextualizes the Arc B390 as a very low-performance graphics solution.

The CPU, by contrast, is a strong component. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29879. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H at 29868 and 0 percent delta, the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both at 29955 and 0.3 percent faster, and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X at 29713 and 0.6 percent slower. This means the CPU is capable of feeding a much faster GPU, but in this pairing, the GPU cannot translate that CPU headroom into frame rate.

The combination rank of 3301 out of 3713 suggests that the database has recorded over 400 combinations that perform worse than this system, but also over 3300 that perform better. Given the GPU percentile of 9, it is expected that most of the better-performing combinations pair this CPU with a more capable graphics card. The data indicates that the combo rank is essentially GPU-bound: swapping the Arc B390 for even a mid-range discrete GPU would likely shift the rank substantially higher, while swapping the CPU would have a minimal effect because the GPU is already saturated at most settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU in Overpower, and the bottleneck shifts depending on resolution and preset. At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the limiting factor. The average frame rate at Low is 54 FPS, and at Ultra it drops to 26 FPS, a 52 percent reduction. The CPU, which is in the 81st percentile, has ample headroom to feed the GPU, but the Arc B390 cannot process the pixel load at 4K. The fact that Low at 4K still falls short of 60 FPS confirms that even the lowest graphical load exceeds what this GPU can deliver at that resolution.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. Low settings reach 64 FPS, which is 10 FPS higher than at 4K Low. Medium drops to 40 FPS, and Ultra to 31 FPS. The improvement from 4K to 1440p at Low is 10 FPS, and at Medium it is 6 FPS, while at High it is 5 FPS and at Ultra it is also 5 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU still dominates, but the reduced pixel count gives the CPU more room to influence frame pacing. The minimum FPS at 1440p Medium is 34, compared to 29 at 4K Medium, which further shows that the CPU is helping to maintain more consistent frame delivery at lower resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the CPU contribution becomes more apparent. Low settings reach 72 FPS, which is 8 FPS higher than at 1440p Low and 18 FPS higher than at 4K Low. The scaling from 1440p to 1080p at Low is 12.5 percent, which is larger than the scaling at Medium (5 FPS, or 12.5 percent) but smaller than the scaling at High (5 FPS, or 13.5 percent) and Ultra (4 FPS, or 12.9 percent). The fact that the Low preset gains more absolute FPS from resolution reduction suggests that at Low, the CPU is able to push the GPU harder, whereas at higher presets the GPU workload still dominates.

The preset scaling within each resolution also reveals the GPU bottleneck. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 37 FPS. At 1440p, it is 33 FPS. At 4K, it is 28 FPS. This inverse relationship between resolution and preset delta means that at higher resolutions, the GPU is so saturated that even lowering settings cannot fully compensate, whereas at 1080p the GPU has enough spare throughput to respond to preset changes. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is never the limiting factor in this game, as even the most demanding preset at 1080p still only yields 35 FPS, which is a GPU-bound result.

In summary, the CPU role is to provide a stable foundation that never bottlenecks, while the GPU role is to determine the ceiling. The data shows that the Arc B390 is the sole reason this combination fails to reach 60 FPS at high and ultra presets at any resolution. If the GPU were replaced with a faster model, the CPU would likely support significantly higher frame rates, but with the current GPU, the system is inherently limited.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the database records no playable settings for this system. The best average FPS at this resolution is 54 FPS on the Low preset, which still falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Medium preset averages 34 FPS, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. There is no setting combination that achieves 60 FPS at 4K, so the recommendation is to avoid this resolution for Overpower with the current hardware.

At 2560x1440, the only playable preset is Low, with an average of 64 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by 4 FPS, which is a narrow margin. The Medium preset averages 40 FPS, High averages 37 FPS, and Ultra averages 31 FPS, all of which are below the playable threshold. The minimum FPS at Medium is 34, indicating that even the playable Low preset may experience occasional dips below 60 FPS during intense scenes, although the average remains above the threshold.

At 1920x1080, the only playable preset is also Low, with an average of 72 FPS. This is 12 FPS above the threshold and represents the best overall performance for this system. The Medium preset averages 45 FPS, High averages 42 FPS, and Ultra averages 35 FPS. The minimum FPS at Medium is 38, and the maximum is 52, which further confirms that Medium and above are not viable for smooth gameplay.

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: Low settings are the only option that reaches 60 FPS, and only at 1080p and 1440p. The margin at 1080p (12 FPS) is more comfortable than at 1440p (4 FPS). For users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, the Medium preset at 1080p offers 45 FPS average, which may be acceptable for slower-paced sections, but it will not provide a consistently smooth experience.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Overpower? The answer depends on the resolution and preset, and the database verdict is unambiguous. At 3840x2160, the system cannot run the game at a playable frame rate on any preset. The best case is Low at 54 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The recorded data lists no playable settings for 4K, and the verdict confirms this with an empty list of playable settings.

At 2560x1440, the system can run the game, but only on the Low preset. The average FPS at Low is 64, which clears the threshold by 4 FPS. The verdict designates Low as the best setting at this resolution, with an average FPS of 64. This is a marginal pass, and users should expect frame rate fluctuations near the threshold during demanding scenes, given that the Medium preset shows a minimum of 34 FPS and the system has no headroom at Low beyond the 4 FPS margin.

At 1920x1080, the system can run the game on the Low preset with an average of 72 FPS. This is the strongest result for this hardware, clearing the threshold by 12 FPS. The verdict lists Low as the best setting at this resolution, with an average FPS of 72. While still limited to Low settings, this provides a more comfortable margin above the 60 FPS target.

The overall verdict is that this PC is only capable of running Overpower at Low settings, and only at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. At 4K, it fails entirely. The CPU is not the issue, as it ranks at the 81st percentile and would support much higher frame rates with a faster GPU. The Intel Arc B390, at the 9th percentile, is the definitive bottleneck. For users who already own this CPU, upgrading the GPU would yield substantial improvements in Overpower, as the data shows the CPU has headroom to drive higher frame rates. For users considering this exact combination for Overpower, the measured results indicate that it is only suitable for low-fidelity, 1080p or 1440p gaming in this title, and any preference for Medium or higher settings would require a more capable graphics card. The system ranks 3301 out of 3713 tested combinations, which places it in the bottom 11 percent, and that ranking accurately reflects its limited playability profile in this game.
