Overpower

The pairing of an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X with Intel Arc B370 graphics is an unusual one for gaming analysis: a 91st-percentile desktop CPU sitting alongside an integrated GPU that ranks in the 5th percentile of all graphics hardware in the database. The benchmark results for Overpower, an action title released in August 2023, reflect exactly that imbalance. The processor is never the constraint; the graphics solution is, at every resolution and every preset in the recorded data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains twelve measured configurations for this combination, spanning three resolutions and four presets, all with average FPS recorded and medium-preset entries additionally carrying minimum and maximum frame-rate figures.

At 1920x1080, the results are: Low averages 65 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS with a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 47, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 31 FPS. The 1080p Low result is the only measurement in the entire dataset that clears the 60 FPS playability threshold, and it does so narrowly, at 65 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the numbers fall off steeply: Low averages 58 FPS, Medium averages 36 FPS with a minimum of 31 and a maximum of 42, High averages 34 FPS, and Ultra averages 28 FPS. The 1440p Low preset lands just two frames short of the threshold, which places it in an awkward middle ground: close enough to feel nearly fluid, but below the formal bar.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are: Low at 49 FPS, Medium at 31 FPS with a minimum of 26 and a maximum of 35, High at 28 FPS, and Ultra at 24 FPS. No 4K configuration approaches the threshold, and the Ultra result is less than half the required frame rate.

The medium-preset min/max spreads are worth noting because they indicate frame-rate stability rather than just averages. At 1080p Medium, the spread runs from 34 to 47, meaning the worst moments dip well below the average. At 1440p Medium the range is 31 to 42, and at 4K Medium it is 26 to 35. In every case the minimum sits roughly seven to nine frames beneath the average, a consistent pattern that suggests the dips are systematic rather than sporadic.

Similar Performance Alternatives

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 9 7900X sits in a cluster of hardware with nearly identical aggregate benchmark scores. Its nearest rivals by average score are the AMD EPYC 7313P at 0.2 percent behind, the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 at 0.3 percent ahead, the Intel Xeon 634 at 0.6 percent behind, and the Intel Core i7-14700F at 0.6 percent ahead. In practical terms, a system built around any of these processors would deliver effectively indistinguishable CPU-side behavior in Overpower, since none of them would be the limiting factor anyway.

The GPU side tells the same clustering story at a much lower performance tier. The Arc B370's single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places it alongside the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (0.2 percent apart), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (0.5 percent apart), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (0.7 percent apart), and the AMD FirePro M2000, which trails by 1.4 percent. Any of these graphics solutions would be expected to produce frame rates in the same vicinity as the numbers above. The practical takeaway is stark: the Ryzen 9 7900X's 12-core, 24-thread Zen 4 configuration, with its 12536 max-thread score and 1093 single-thread score in the database's 3DMark CPU tests, is feeding a graphics component that benchmarks like decade-old entry-level hardware.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling data makes the division of labor unambiguous. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at the Low preset drops the average from 65 to 58 FPS, roughly an 11 percent decline. Moving from 1440p to 4K at the same preset drops it further from 58 to 49. When frame rate falls as resolution rises, the workload is GPU-bound, and that is precisely the pattern here across every preset.

The CPU's role is essentially invisible in these results. A processor in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29300 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 19267, would ordinarily allow a capable discrete GPU to hold flat frame rates well past 1080p. Instead, the Arc B370, with 1280 shading units, 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, and system-shared memory, saturates long before the Ryzen 9 7900X breaks a sweat. The preset scaling confirms this: at 1080p, going from Low to Ultra costs 34 frames (65 down to 31), a huge penalty that reflects shader and detail load on a 20-ROP, 40-TMU graphics unit, not on a processor with 64 MB of shared L3 cache.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Overpower? The verdict data answers with a qualified yes. At 1920x1080 on the Low preset, the system averages 65 FPS and clears the 60 FPS threshold. That is the sole playable configuration in the entire dataset. At 2560x1440, no preset qualifies: even Low, at 58 FPS, falls short. At 3840x2160, the situation is worse, with the best result being 49 FPS on Low and the worst being 24 FPS on Ultra. The formal verdict is therefore one of marginal playability: this combination runs Overpower acceptably only at 1080p with settings reduced to their minimum.

FAQ

Q: Can the Ryzen 9 7900X and Arc B370 run Overpower at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, but only in one configuration: 1920x1080 at the Low preset, where the measured average is 65 FPS. Every other resolution and preset combination falls below 60 FPS.

Q: What frame rate does this system get at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160 the averages are 49 FPS on Low, 31 on Medium, 28 on High, and 24 on Ultra. None of these are playable by the 60 FPS standard.

Q: How close is 1440p Low to being playable?

A: It averages 58 FPS, just two frames under the 60 FPS threshold, making it the nearest miss in the dataset.

Q: Is the CPU holding this system back?

A: No. The Ryzen 9 7900X ranks in the 91st percentile of all CPUs and sits within 0.6 percent of rivals like the Intel Core i7-14700F in aggregate benchmark score. The frame rate drops as resolution increases, which identifies the Arc B370, a 5th-percentile GPU, as the bottleneck.

Q: How stable are frame rates at 1080p Medium?

A: The recorded range is 34 minimum to 47 maximum around a 41 FPS average, meaning dips land well below the average during play.

Q: What graphics APIs does the Arc B370 support for this game?

A: The database lists DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 support.

How This Combo Ranks

Across all combinations tested in Overpower, this CPU and GPU pairing ranks 3427 out of 3713. That places it in the bottom tranche of tested systems for this specific game, which is consistent with the measured frame rates: a ranking in that region corresponds to hardware that only barely reaches the playability threshold at the lowest settings and the most common resolution. The ranking is a direct reflection of the GPU's 5th-percentile standing, since the CPU's own percentile is high enough that virtually any discrete graphics upgrade would move this combination dramatically up the table. As tested, however, the pairing is what it is: a very fast processor delivering frames through a very modest graphics unit.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based strictly on the recorded data, the optimal preset at each resolution is the most demanding one that holds at or above 60 FPS:

• 1920x1080: Low, 65 FPS average. This is the only qualifying combination. Medium at 41 FPS falls well short, so Low is the ceiling.
• 2560x1440: No preset qualifies. Low comes nearest at 58 FPS but does not reach 60, so no settings recommendation can be made at this resolution.
• 3840x2160: No preset qualifies. The best result is Low at 49 FPS, far below the threshold, and Ultra bottoms out the table at 24 FPS.

The summary for anyone running this hardware is simple: 1080p Low is the one workable profile, at 65 FPS. Everything else in the dataset, from 1080p Medium upward, is measured below the playability line.
