Overpower

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows no settings preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The closest result is Low at 54 FPS average, which falls short of the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 34 FPS, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 26 FPS. Therefore, no recommended setting exists for 4K; the game remains below playable smoothness at every quality level.

At 2560x1440, the only preset that clears 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 64 FPS. Medium drops to 40 FPS, High to 37 FPS, and Ultra to 31 FPS. The best settings choice for 1440p is Low, which provides a 4 FPS margin above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, Low is again the only preset meeting the 60 FPS requirement, averaging 72 FPS. Medium averages 45 FPS, High averages 42 FPS, and Ultra averages 35 FPS. The best settings for 1080p is Low, delivering 12 FPS of headroom over the playable mark.

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: only the Low preset achieves playable frame rates, and only at 1080p and 1440p. There is no resolution where Medium, High, or Ultra reaches 60 FPS. The delta between Low and Medium is substantial: 38 FPS at 1080p, 24 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K. This indicates that the graphics workload scales steeply with each quality tier, and the Intel Arc B390 cannot sustain playable performance beyond the most minimal settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database lists the CPU and GPU independently with nearest rivals based on aggregate benchmark scores. For the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F, the closest comparable processors are the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX with an average score of 69875 and a delta of 0.2% (slightly ahead), the Intel Core i7-14700KF at 70163 with a delta of -0.2% (slightly behind), the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X at 69515 with a delta of 0.7%, and the Intel Core i7-14700K at 69355 with a delta of 0.9%. These four chips sit within 1% of the 9700F's average benchmark score of 69996, meaning any of them would produce nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Overpower.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest GPU rivals are strikingly lower-end parts. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, just 1.3% behind the Arc B390's 1482 average. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460 (1.5% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446 (2.5% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443 (2.7% behind). These deltas are small in percentage terms, but the absolute scores are all in the same low range. The Arc B390's percentile versus all GPUs is 9, indicating it sits in the bottom tenth of tested graphics hardware. In practical terms for Overpower, a system with the Arc B390 would behave almost identically to one with any of these four rival GPUs: all would be limited to Low settings at 1080p or 1440p, and none would approach playable frame rates at 4K.

Because the CPU is far more capable than the GPU, the measured frame rates are almost entirely GPU-bound. Swapping the 9700F for any of its nearest rivals would change FPS by less than 1% in either direction. Swapping the Arc B390 for the GT 710 or GT 625 OEM would similarly produce no meaningful difference in Overpower, as all these GPUs fall in the same performance stratum.

Q: What is the highest resolution where this combo achieves 60 FPS?

A: The highest resolution with a playable preset is 2560x1440, where Low settings average 64 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS; the best is Low at 54 FPS average.

Q: How much performance drops when moving from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings?

A: At 1920x1080 Low, the average FPS is 72. At 2560x1440 Low, the average FPS is 64. This represents an 8 FPS reduction, or roughly an 11% decrease in average frame rate.

Q: What is the Ultra preset performance at each resolution?

A: At 1920x1080 Ultra, the average FPS is 35. At 2560x1440 Ultra, it is 31. At 3840x2160 Ultra, it is 26. None of these values approach the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: Is the CPU or the GPU the limiting factor for this game?

A: The GPU is the limiting factor. The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F sits at the 94th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel Arc B390 sits at the 9th percentile among all GPUs. The frame rates follow the GPU's low performance tier, with only Low settings playable.

Q: Does the game have any frame rate data for min and max at Low or High settings?

A: The database records min and max FPS only for Medium settings at each resolution: at 1080p Medium, min 38 and max 52; at 1440p Medium, min 34 and max 46; at 4K Medium, min 29 and max 39. Low and High settings have no min or max values recorded, only averages.

The Verdict

The verdict from the recorded data is clear: this combo cannot run Overpower at 60 FPS for most settings and resolutions. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS average, and the database's verdictByResolution shows that only Low settings at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 clear that bar.

At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. The best average FPS at 4K is 54 on Low, which is 6 FPS short of the target. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall well below 40 FPS. This resolution is not viable for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 64 FPS, which is 4 FPS above the threshold. This is technically playable but leaves little margin for demanding scenes. Medium drops to 40 FPS, High to 37 FPS, and Ultra to 31 FPS, all unplayable.

At 1920x1080, Low settings average 72 FPS, providing a comfortable 12 FPS cushion. Medium averages 45 FPS, High 42 FPS, and Ultra 35 FPS, none reaching the 60 FPS mark.

In summary, the system can run Overpower only at its lowest quality preset, and only at 1080p or 1440p. Users seeking Medium or higher visual quality will need a more powerful GPU. The CPU is not a bottleneck; the Arc B390's low performance tier dictates the outcome.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a stark imbalance between the CPU and GPU in this combination. The Ryzen 7 9700F is a high-end desktop processor, scoring 69996 on average and ranking in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are flagship and high-end parts like the Ryzen 9 7950X and Core i7-14700K, all within 1% of its score. In contrast, the Intel Arc B390 scores just 1482 on the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, ranking in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, with nearest rivals that are decade-old entry-level NVIDIA parts.

In Overpower, the GPU's role dominates at every resolution. The frame rates scale almost entirely with the GPU's low compute capacity. Moving from 1080p Low (72 FPS) to 1440p Low (64 FPS) to 4K Low (54 FPS) shows a steady decline of roughly 8 to 10 FPS per resolution step, which is consistent with a GPU-bound workload where pixel fill rate and shading throughput are the limiting factors. The CPU, with 8 cores and 16 threads at up to 5.50 GHz boost, would have no trouble feeding frames at these rates; its PassMark single-thread score of 4691 and multithread score of 36470 are far beyond what a 72 FPS game requires.

The settings scaling further confirms the GPU bottleneck. At 1080p, dropping from Low to Medium reduces average FPS from 72 to 45, a 27 FPS loss. From Medium to High, it drops to 42, and from High to Ultra, to 35. This steep degradation with each quality tier is characteristic of a GPU that is already near its limit at Low settings; the additional shading work at higher presets overwhelms the Arc B390's 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 1536 shading units.

At higher resolutions, the GPU's role becomes even more pronounced. At 4K, the difference between Low (54 FPS) and Medium (34 FPS) is 20 FPS, and between Medium and High (32 FPS) is just 2 FPS, showing that the GPU is saturated. The CPU's performance, meanwhile, remains constant across all settings and resolutions; the database shows no CPU-specific scaling data for this game, but given the GPU's low percentile, any CPU bottleneck is negligible. Users should treat this as a GPU-limited configuration where upgrading the graphics card would yield far larger gains than any CPU change.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination in Overpower at position 3301 out of 3713 tested combos. This places it in the bottom 11% of all configurations tested for this game. With a rank of 3301, only 412 combos perform worse, meaning the vast majority of tested systems achieve higher frame rates.

This low ranking aligns with the GPU's 9th percentile standing. The CPU's high percentile (94th) does not compensate for the GPU's weakness in a graphics-intensive action game like Overpower. The combo rank reflects the overall playability: only Low settings at 1080p and 1440p clear 60 FPS, which is a narrow performance envelope compared to typical gaming systems.

The rank also implies that most other tested combinations, including those with mid-range GPUs and weaker CPUs, outperform this setup in Overpower. Since the game is GPU-bound, any combo with a GPU that scores higher than the Arc B390's 1482 on the Steel Nomad test would likely deliver better frame rates, regardless of the CPU. The 9700F's strong CPU scores do not boost the rank because the game does not stress the processor meaningfully at the frame rates achieved here.

For context, the nearest GPU rivals (GT 710, GT 625 OEM, GeForce 800M, GT 520MX) all have similar or slightly lower scores, so combos using those GPUs would rank similarly. The combo rank of 3301 is a direct consequence of the GPU's low absolute performance, and it firmly positions this system as an entry-level gaming setup for Overpower, capable of only the most basic settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following data points are recorded for each resolution and settings preset.

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: average 54 FPS, no min or max recorded
• Medium: average 34 FPS, min 29, max 39
• High: average 32 FPS, no min or max recorded
• Ultra: average 26 FPS, no min or max recorded

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: average 64 FPS, no min or max recorded
• Medium: average 40 FPS, min 34, max 46
• High: average 37 FPS, no min or max recorded
• Ultra: average 31 FPS, no min or max recorded

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: average 72 FPS, no min or max recorded
• Medium: average 45 FPS, min 38, max 52
• High: average 42 FPS, no min or max recorded
• Ultra: average 35 FPS, no min or max recorded

The Medium preset is the only one with min and max values in the database. At 1080p Medium, the range is 38 to 52 FPS, indicating noticeable frame variance but staying within a 14 FPS window. At 1440p Medium, the range narrows to 34 to 46 FPS, a 12 FPS window. At 4K Medium, the range is 29 to 39 FPS, a 10 FPS window. These min-max ranges suggest that while Medium is never smooth, it also does not experience catastrophic frame drops; the performance is consistently mediocre.

The average FPS deltas between resolutions at the same settings are as follows. For Low: 1080p at 72, 1440p at 64, 4K at 54, a drop of 8 FPS from 1080p to 1440p and another 10 FPS from 1440p to 4K. For Medium: 45, 40, and 34, drops of 5 and 6 FPS respectively. For High: 42, 37, and 32, drops of 5 and 5 FPS. For Ultra: 35, 31, and 26, drops of 4 and 5 FPS. The Low preset shows the largest absolute resolution scaling, while the higher presets show smaller absolute drops because they are already running at low frame rates.

The data confirms that no combination of resolution and preset beyond 1080p Low or 1440p Low reaches 60 FPS. The best absolute performance is 72 FPS average at 1080p Low, and the worst is 26 FPS at 4K Ultra. For players prioritizing frame rate, 1080p Low is the only setting that provides a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. For those willing to accept slightly lower smoothness, 1440p Low at 64 FPS is also viable, but the 4K resolution is entirely unsuitable for this game with this hardware.
