Overpower

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Overpower with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and Intel Arc B370 covers three resolutions and four presets. Starting at 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the results are consistently below the playable threshold. At High settings, the average frame rate is 28 FPS. Low settings improve this to 49 FPS on average. Medium settings produce an average of 31 FPS, with a minimum of 26 FPS and a maximum of 35 FPS. Ultra settings yield the lowest average at 24 FPS. None of these averages approach the 60 FPS threshold, and even the best case, Low at 49 FPS, remains well short.

At 2560x1440, the picture improves but still falls short of playable. High settings average 34 FPS. Low settings reach 58 FPS, a notable improvement over the 4K result but still 2 FPS below the 60 FPS target. Medium settings average 36 FPS, with a minimum of 31 FPS and a maximum of 42 FPS. Ultra settings average 28 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at this resolution is substantial, a 22 FPS difference, while the gap between Medium and High is only 2 FPS. This suggests diminishing returns beyond Low settings.

At 1920x1080, the combination finally crosses the threshold. Low settings average 65 FPS, the only preset at any resolution to exceed 60 FPS. High settings average 38 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS with a minimum of 34 FPS and a maximum of 47 FPS, and Ultra averages 31 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium is a drop of 24 FPS, which is the largest single-preset penalty recorded across all resolutions. High and Medium sit close together, with only a 3 FPS difference, while Ultra trails Medium by 10 FPS.

The data shows a consistent pattern: Low settings are dramatically faster than Medium, while the differences between Medium, High, and Ultra are comparatively modest. This indicates that the Medium preset introduces a significant rendering cost, likely tied to effects or geometry that scale heavily with resolution. Across all resolutions, the minimum and maximum frame rates were only recorded for Medium settings, suggesting that other presets may have less variance or were not captured with those metrics.

CPU and GPU Roles

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. It carries a TDP of 65 W and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution based on Xe3-LPG architecture, fabricated on a 3 nm process, with 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. It has 10 ray tracing cores and a boost clock of 2400 MHz. Its memory is system shared, meaning bandwidth is system dependent.

In a game like Overpower, the division of labor between CPU and GPU shifts with resolution. At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The average frame rates across settings range from 24 to 49 FPS, and the gap between Low and Ultra is 25 FPS. This spread indicates that the GPU is struggling to fill the large pixel count, and CPU headroom is not being exercised. The Ryzen 7 7700, with its strong multi-threaded scores such as 18,760 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 15,371 in Geekbench multi-core, is unlikely to bottleneck at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the GPU still dominates, but the CPU begins to matter more. The Low preset reaches 58 FPS, which is close to the 60 FPS threshold. This suggests that the GPU can handle the lower shading load at this resolution, and the CPU is capable of feeding it frames quickly enough. The drop to Medium at 36 FPS is steep, indicating that the GPU is again the constraint once the preset raises the shading and texture demands.

At 1920x1080, the balance shifts. The Low preset averages 65 FPS, exceeding the threshold. The CPU, with its single-thread score of 1,930 in Cinebench R23 and 2,525 in Geekbench, has enough per-core performance to drive the frame rate above 60 FPS when the GPU is not overloaded. The Ryzen 7 7700 also holds an 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs, which places it well above average for gaming workloads. The GPU, by contrast, sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, indicating that it is a low-end part in the database's overall distribution.

The scaling between resolutions tells the same story. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p drops the average from 65 to 58 FPS, a 7 FPS penalty. Moving from 1440p to 4K drops it from 58 to 49 FPS, another 9 FPS penalty. These are relatively small penalties for a 2.25x increase in pixel count from 1080p to 4K, which suggests that at Low settings, the CPU is starting to matter and the GPU is not yet saturated. At Medium settings, the penalties are larger: 41 to 36 to 31 FPS, a 5 FPS drop each step. This indicates that at Medium and above, the GPU is the primary bottleneck, and the CPU has ample headroom.

The overall data indicates that the Ryzen 7 7700 is far more capable than the Arc B370 for this game. The CPU's benchmark scores, such as 34,470 in Passmark multi-thread and 4,063 in Passmark single-thread, place it in the upper tier of desktop processors. The GPU's only recorded benchmark, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,184, places it at the 5th percentile, meaning it is among the weaker graphics solutions in the database. For Overpower, the GPU is the deciding factor at every resolution and preset combination tested.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3,427 out of 3,713 tested combos in Overpower. This places it in the bottom portion of the database, around the 92nd percentile from the bottom, or roughly the 8th percentile from the top. The low ranking is driven almost entirely by the GPU, which sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. The CPU, by contrast, sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs.

This mismatch is worth examining. A top-tier CPU paired with a bottom-tier GPU produces a combo that ranks near the bottom of the overall list. The CPU's strong benchmark scores do not compensate for the GPU's limited rendering capability. In Overpower, the combo's ranking reflects the GPU's dominance in determining frame rates. The measured FPS data confirms this: no resolution above 1080p reaches 60 FPS, and even at 1080p, only the Low preset clears the threshold.

The rank of 3,427 out of 3,713 means that 286 tested combos performed worse, while 3,426 performed better. This places the combo in the bottom 8% of all tested configurations. For context, the CPU's nearest rivals by average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 with an average score of 40,048 and a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Core 5 221E with a score of 40,144 and a delta of -0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 9 270 with a score of 40,246 and a delta of -0.4%, and the Intel Core i9-13905H with a score of 40,313 and a delta of -0.6%. These rivals are essentially within 0.6% of the Ryzen 7 7700's average score of 40,081, meaning the CPU's performance is well matched by several other processors.

The GPU's nearest rivals, based on the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score, include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with a score of 1,186 and a delta of -0.2%, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with a score of 1,190 and a delta of -0.5%, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with a score of 1,192 and a delta of -0.7%, and the AMD FirePro M2000 with a score of 1,168 and a delta of 1.4%. These are older, low-power parts, and the Arc B370's score of 1,184 falls squarely in this group. This reinforces the conclusion that the GPU is the limiting factor.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Overpower? The answer depends on the resolution and preset. At 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: no. No preset at this resolution reaches 60 FPS. The best result is Low at 49 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. Medium averages 31 FPS, High averages 28 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. None of these are playable.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is also no. The best result is Low at 58 FPS, which is 2 FPS short of the threshold. Medium averages 36 FPS, High averages 34 FPS, and Ultra averages 28 FPS. The Low preset is close, but it does not clear the bar.

At 1920x1080, the verdict is yes, but only for the Low preset. Low averages 65 FPS, which exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 31 FPS. The playable settings list for this resolution includes only Low, and the best settings selection is Low with an average FPS of 65.

The database's verdict by resolution confirms this: at 3840x2160, the playable settings list is empty, and at 2560x1440, the playable settings list is also empty. At 1920x1080, Low is the only playable setting. The overall picture is that this combo can run the game at 1080p with reduced visual quality, but cannot maintain 60 FPS at higher resolutions or with higher presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The database lists no playable settings at this resolution, and the best settings field is null. The highest average is Low at 49 FPS, but it remains below the playable threshold. Players who insist on 4K would need to accept frame rates in the 20s and 30s, which is not recommended based on the data.

At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS either. Low comes closest at 58 FPS, but it is still 2 FPS short. The database lists no playable settings at this resolution. Medium averages 36 FPS, High averages 34 FPS, and Ultra averages 28 FPS. None are viable for smooth play.

At 1920x1080, Low is the only playable preset, with an average of 65 FPS. This is the single configuration that clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 41 FPS, High to 38 FPS, and Ultra to 31 FPS. The best settings at 1080p are therefore Low, and the average FPS at these settings is 65.

For players prioritizing frame rate, 1080p Low is the only viable option. For those willing to sacrifice smoothness, 1440p Low at 58 FPS is marginally below the threshold, but the data does not classify it as playable. The gap between 58 and 65 FPS may be noticeable, and the 4K options are all well below acceptable levels.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have nearby alternatives in the database. For the AMD Ryzen 7 7700, the nearest rivals by average benchmark score are all within a fraction of a percent. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40,048, which is 0.1% higher than the 7700's 40,081. The Intel Core 5 221E scores 40,144, which is 0.2% lower. The AMD Ryzen 9 270 scores 40,246, which is 0.4% lower. The Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40,313, which is 0.6% lower. Any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically to the 7700 in Overpower, since the game's frame rates are constrained by the GPU.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest rivals are all much older parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1,186, which is 0.2% lower than the B370's 1,184. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1,190, which is 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1,192, which is 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1,168, which is 1.4% lower. These GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Overpower, meaning the combo's ranking would barely change if the Arc B370 were swapped for any of these parts.

The practical takeaway is that the combo's performance is dictated by the GPU tier. Upgrading the CPU to a rival within the 0.6% range would not meaningfully change Overpower's frame rates. Similarly, swapping the GPU to a rival within the 1.4% range would not change the outcome at any resolution. The bottleneck is clear, and the alternatives confirm it. The Ryzen 7 7700 is a strong processor, but it is paired with a GPU that ranks at the 5th percentile, and the measured FPS data reflects that imbalance.
