Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the Intel Arc B370 is a heavily CPU-favored combination in Overpower. The processor sits in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, while the integrated graphics solution ranks in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. Benchmark results show that this system only reaches a playable 60 FPS at 1080p with Low settings, and even then only barely (65 FPS average). At 1440p and 4K, no preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold. The following analysis breaks down the measured performance, compares the components to their nearest rivals, and explains why the GPU is the decisive bottleneck.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's average benchmark score of 69,996 places it within a narrow band of high-end desktop and mobile processors. Its nearest rivals in the database are:

• AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX: average score 69,875, which is 0.2% lower than the 9700F.
• Intel Core i7-14700KF: average score 70,163, which is 0.2% higher than the 9700F.
• AMD Ryzen 9 7950X: average score 69,515, which is 0.7% lower.
• Intel Core i7-14700K: average score 69,355, which is 0.9% lower.

For gaming workloads that rely on the CPU, the 9700F would behave almost identically to these chips. However, in this specific system, the CPU's headroom is irrelevant because the GPU is so weak.

The Intel Arc B370 has an average 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1,184. Its nearest rivals are all older or low-end parts:

• ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570: score 1,186, 0.2% higher.
• ATI Radeon HD 5770: score 1,190, 0.5% higher.
• AMD Radeon HD 7650M: score 1,192, 0.7% higher.
• AMD FirePro M2000: score 1,168, 1.4% lower.

The Arc B370's performance is effectively on par with those legacy GPUs, which explains why it cannot drive modern action titles at high frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS scaling across resolutions and presets clearly indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 65 FPS at 1080p to 58 FPS at 1440p (a 10.8% decrease) and then to 49 FPS at 4K (a 15.5% decrease from 1440p). At High settings, the corresponding numbers are 38, 34, and 28 FPS. This consistent drop with resolution is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where increasing pixel count directly reduces throughput.

The CPU, by contrast, is extremely capable. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, and a 94th percentile ranking. Its benchmark scores, such as 120,788 in integer math and 77,955 in floating-point math, are far above what any modern game would require. Even the most demanding CPU-related tasks in Overpower would leave this processor with ample headroom. The fact that the system still fails to reach 60 FPS at 1440p or 4K at any preset is entirely attributable to the Arc B370's low graphics throughput.

The GPU's memory bandwidth is "System Dependent" and its memory is shared with the system, further constraining performance. Its 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 20 ROPs are extremely low for a 2026 part, and the 5th percentile ranking confirms it sits near the bottom of the database's GPU performance distribution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists the exact average, minimum, and maximum frame rates recorded for each resolution and preset combination. Minimum and maximum values are only available for Medium settings; other presets have only average values.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS | Min FPS | Max FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 28 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 49 | - | - |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 31 | 26 | 35 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 24 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | High | 34 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 58 | - | - |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 36 | 31 | 42 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 28 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | High | 38 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 65 | - | - |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 41 | 34 | 47 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 31 | - | - |

At 4K, the best average is 49 FPS on Low, which is still far below the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1440p, Low averages 58 FPS, just 2 FPS short of the target. Only at 1080p does any preset exceed 60 FPS, and that is only the Low preset.

The Verdict

Based on the recorded data and the database's playable threshold of 60 FPS, this PC can run Overpower at 1080p with Low settings, where it averages 65 FPS. That is the only resolution and preset combination that clears 60 FPS. At 1440p and 4K, no preset reaches the playable threshold. The highest average at 1440p is 58 FPS (Low), and at 4K it is 49 FPS (Low). Ultra settings are unplayable at every resolution, with averages ranging from 24 FPS at 4K to 31 FPS at 1080p.

In short, this system is not suitable for 1440p or 4K gaming in Overpower, and even at 1080p it requires the lowest visual quality to maintain a playable frame rate.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is:

• 1920x1080: Low settings, average 65 FPS. This is the only preset at this resolution that meets the threshold.
• 2560x1440: No preset achieves 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 58 FPS.
• 3840x2160: No preset achieves 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 49 FPS.

If a user insists on playing at 1440p or 4K, the only viable option would be to lower the resolution or accept a sub-60 FPS experience.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all 3,713 CPU and GPU combinations tested in Overpower, this pairing ranks 3,427th. That places it in the bottom portion of the database, with only 286 combinations performing worse. The rank reflects the GPU's severe limitation; the CPU's strong benchmark scores do not compensate for the Arc B370's low graphics throughput. In practical terms, this combination is suitable only for low-resolution, low-detail gaming in this title.
