Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold for Overpower is defined as 60 FPS average. The database records average, minimum, and maximum frame rates for each resolution and preset combination, though many entries only include the average. Based on the measured data, here is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS for each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only one that clears the threshold. It produces an average of 72 FPS, which is 12 FPS above the playable line. The Medium preset drops to 45 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 38 and maximum of 52. High settings yield 42 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 35 FPS. Since the next step up from Low is Medium, and Medium sits well below 60 FPS, Low is the best playable setting at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset again is the only playable option. It averages 64 FPS, which is just 4 FPS above the threshold. This is a narrower margin than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is struggling more as resolution increases. Medium settings average 40 FPS with a minimum of 34 and maximum of 46. High settings average 37 FPS, and Ultra settings average 31 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 24 FPS, which is a substantial drop for one quality tier.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The Low preset averages 54 FPS, which is 6 FPS short of the threshold. Medium averages 34 FPS with a minimum of 29 and maximum of 39. High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. Even the lowest possible settings fail to produce a playable experience at 4K, so the verdict for this resolution is that no preset is acceptable.

The pattern across resolutions is consistent. Low settings are the only viable option, and even then, the margin shrinks from 12 FPS at 1080p to 4 FPS at 1440p. At 4K, the system falls short entirely. The data indicates that the GPU’s performance ceiling is very low, and quality presets above Low are not feasible at any resolution for a 60 FPS target.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance data for Overpower shows a clear division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and the Intel Arc B390. The CPU is a high-end desktop part with 8 cores, 16 threads, a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, and a 65 W TDP. Its benchmark scores place it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, and its average benchmark score of 40081 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, all within 0.6% of each other. This indicates that the CPU has ample processing power for the game’s logic, physics, and AI tasks.

The GPU, on the other hand, is far weaker. It has a 9th percentile ranking among all GPUs, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482, and its nearest rivals are all older NVIDIA parts like the GeForce GT 710 and GT 520MX. The Arc B390 has 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 ROPs, with a boost clock of 2500 MHz. Its FP32 performance is 7.680 TFLOPS. These specifications are modest, and the benchmark data confirms that it is a low-end graphics solution.

The scaling of frame rates across resolutions and presets reveals where the bottleneck lies. At 1920x1080, moving from Low to Medium drops the average from 72 to 45 FPS, a 37.5% reduction. Moving from Medium to High drops from 45 to 42 FPS, and from High to Ultra drops from 42 to 35 FPS. The largest single drop occurs between Low and Medium, which suggests that the GPU is overwhelmed by even a modest increase in rendering load.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds. Low averages 64 FPS, Medium drops to 40 FPS, High to 37 FPS, and Ultra to 31 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 24 FPS, again the largest jump. At 3840x2160, Low averages 54 FPS, Medium drops to 34 FPS, High to 32 FPS, and Ultra to 26 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 20 FPS.

The resolution scaling also points to the GPU as the limiting factor. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 72 FPS at 1080p to 64 FPS at 1440p, a 11.1% reduction. Dropping from 1440p to 4K at Low settings reduces the average from 64 to 54 FPS, a 15.6% reduction. For comparison, at Medium settings, the frame rate drops from 45 FPS at 1080p to 40 FPS at 1440p, then to 34 FPS at 4K. These drops are consistent with a GPU that is running out of fill rate and memory bandwidth, especially since the Arc B390 uses System Shared memory with System Dependent bandwidth.

The CPU’s role is less visible in the frame rate data because it never becomes the primary constraint. Even at 4K with Ultra settings, where the GPU is clearly struggling at 26 FPS, the CPU has plenty of headroom. The Ryzen 7 7700’s single-threaded Geekbench score of 2525 and multi-threaded score of 15371 indicate strong per-core performance. The game’s action genre likely requires fast response to player inputs and enemy AI, and the CPU can handle those tasks without bottlenecking the frame rate. The data supports a conclusion that the GPU is the dominant factor at all resolutions and presets.

The Verdict

The recorded data provides a clear answer: this PC can run Overpower, but only under very specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 72 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable margin. At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 64 FPS, which is above the threshold but by a slim 4 FPS margin. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The highest average at 4K is 54 FPS on Low settings, which falls short of the playable threshold.

For each resolution, the verdict is as follows. At 3840x2160, the playable settings list is empty, meaning no preset delivers 60 FPS. The best possible average is 54 FPS at Low, but that is still below the threshold. At 2560x1440, the playable settings list includes only Low, with an average of 64 FPS. At 1920x1080, the playable settings list also includes only Low, with an average of 72 FPS.

The practical interpretation is that users seeking a 60 FPS experience must run the game at Low settings and accept either 1080p or 1440p. At 1080p, there is a 12 FPS buffer above the threshold, which provides some safety against frame drops. At 1440p, the buffer is only 4 FPS, so occasional dips below 60 FPS are more likely, especially in scenes with heavy action. The minimum frame rates recorded at Medium settings, such as 38 FPS at 1080p and 34 FPS at 1440p, suggest that the GPU’s frame pacing is not consistent. Even at Low settings, the lack of min/max data for those entries means the average could mask significant stuttering.

The verdict is that this PC is playable for Overpower, but it is not a high-quality experience. The GPU is the weak link, and users must sacrifice visual fidelity to maintain a playable frame rate. The CPU is more than capable, but it cannot compensate for the GPU’s limitations.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 are all very close in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 has a score of 40048, which is 0.1% lower than the 7700’s 40081. The Intel Core 5 221E scores 40144, 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen 9 270 scores 40246, 0.4% higher. The Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40313, 0.6% higher. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Overpower, since the game is not CPU-bound in the measured scenarios. The frame rate differences would be negligible, and the GPU would still be the limiting factor.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest rivals are all significantly older NVIDIA parts. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, which is 1.3% lower than the Arc B390’s 1482. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% lower. These deltas are all under 3%, meaning that swapping the Arc B390 for any of these GPUs would result in very similar frame rates in Overpower. None of them would meaningfully improve the playability situation, and they all sit below the 60 FPS threshold except at the lowest settings and resolutions.

The takeaway from the rival data is that neither the CPU nor the GPU has a close alternative that would change the overall verdict. The CPU is already strong enough that any of its rivals would perform the same. The GPU is weak enough that its rivals are equally weak, and none would lift the system above the Low settings ceiling. A user with this combo should expect the same behavior across a range of similar hardware.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and Intel Arc B390 combination ranks 3301 out of 3713 tested combos in Overpower. This places it in the bottom 11.1% of all tested configurations. The rank reflects the GPU’s low standing, as the CPU’s 87th percentile score would normally push a combo much higher. The combination of a strong CPU and a weak GPU results in a system that is heavily imbalanced, and the game’s performance is dictated almost entirely by the graphics card.

The rank also contextualizes the measured frame rates. A combo in the bottom 11% of the database is expected to struggle with modern action games, and Overpower is no exception. The recorded 72 FPS at 1080p Low is achievable because the game’s Low preset is not demanding, but the system cannot handle higher presets. The 4K results, with averages between 26 and 54 FPS, are consistent with a GPU that is operating far below the level required for high-resolution gaming.

The data shows that this combo is not well suited for Overpower beyond the minimum settings. Users with this hardware should temper their expectations. The CPU will not hold back the system, but the GPU will cap the experience at Low settings and lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists every recorded measurement for this combo in Overpower. All values come directly from the database.

At 1920x1080, the recorded averages are as follows. Low settings produce an average of 72 FPS, with no minimum or maximum recorded. Medium settings produce an average of 45 FPS, with a minimum of 38 and a maximum of 52. High settings produce an average of 42 FPS, with no minimum or maximum. Ultra settings produce an average of 35 FPS, with no minimum or maximum.

At 2560x1440, the recorded averages are as follows. Low settings produce an average of 64 FPS, with no minimum or maximum. Medium settings produce an average of 40 FPS, with a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 46. High settings produce an average of 37 FPS, with no minimum or maximum. Ultra settings produce an average of 31 FPS, with no minimum or maximum.

At 3840x2160, the recorded averages are as follows. Low settings produce an average of 54 FPS, with no minimum or maximum. Medium settings produce an average of 34 FPS, with a minimum of 29 and a maximum of 39. High settings produce an average of 32 FPS, with no minimum or maximum. Ultra settings produce an average of 26 FPS, with no minimum or maximum.

The data shows a consistent pattern. Every increase in resolution or settings tier reduces the average frame rate. The minimum and maximum values, where recorded, show that the frame rate can vary by roughly 20% around the average. For example, at 1080p Medium, the average is 45 FPS, with a range from 38 to 52. At 1440p Medium, the average is 40 FPS, with a range from 34 to 46. At 4K Medium, the average is 34 FPS, with a range from 29 to 39. These ranges indicate that the GPU’s performance is not stable, and dips below the average are common.

The only preset that exceeds 60 FPS is Low at 1080p and 1440p. The 1080p Low result of 72 FPS is the highest recorded value for this combo. The 1440p Low result of 64 FPS is the second highest. All other presets and resolutions fall below 60 FPS, with the lowest being 26 FPS at 4K Ultra. The measured data confirms that this combo is only playable at Low settings, and even then, only at 1080p or 1440p with a modest frame rate buffer.
