Overpower

The pairing of an AMD Ryzen 9 7900X with an Intel Arc B390 is an unusual one for gaming analysis, and the recorded data for Overpower reflects that imbalance sharply. The Ryzen 9 7900X sits in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database, a twelve-core, twenty-four-thread Zen 4 processor with strong multi-threaded credentials. The Arc B390, by contrast, is an integrated graphics solution built on Intel's Xe3-LPG architecture with 1536 shading units, and it lands in just the 9th percentile of all GPUs. Overpower, an action title released in August 2023, was benchmarked across three resolutions and four presets, and the results show a build that is heavily graphics-limited at every setting tier.

FAQ

Q: Can the Ryzen 9 7900X + Arc B390 run Overpower at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, but only at reduced settings. At 1920x1080 the combo averages 72 FPS on the Low preset, and at 2560x1440 it averages 64 FPS on Low. No other preset at any resolution reaches the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, even the Low preset falls short at 54 FPS average.

Q: What is the strongest component in this pairing?

A: The CPU, decisively. The Ryzen 9 7900X ranks in the 91st percentile versus all CPUs in the database with an average benchmark score of 53288. The Arc B390 ranks in the 9th percentile versus all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 1482. The graphics side is the clear bottleneck for Overpower.

Q: How does this combo rank against other tested combinations in Overpower?

A: It ranks 3301 out of 3713 tested combos in the database for this game. That places it in the bottom tier of recorded configurations, a direct consequence of the integrated graphics solution rather than the processor.

Q: What frame rate does this build deliver at 4K in Overpower?

A: Between 26 and 54 FPS depending on preset. Ultra averages 26 FPS, High 32 FPS, Medium 34 FPS with a minimum of 29 and maximum of 39, and Low 54 FPS. None of these are playable by the database's 60 FPS standard.

Q: Which CPUs perform similarly to the Ryzen 9 7900X?

A: The recorded rival data shows the AMD EPYC 7313P within 0.2 percent, the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 within 0.3 percent, the Intel Xeon 634 within 0.6 percent, and the Intel Core i7-14700F within 0.6 percent on average benchmark score. Any of these processors would deliver comparable CPU-side performance.

Q: How demanding is Overpower on this hardware?

A: Moderately to heavily demanding on the GPU side. Moving from Low to Ultra at 1080p drops the average from 72 FPS to 35 FPS, a steep decline that indicates the Arc B390 is being pushed well past its comfort zone at higher quality presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database defines the best settings as the most demanding preset that holds at or above 60 FPS average at a given resolution.

At 1920x1080, the answer is the Low preset, which averages 72 FPS. Medium falls to 45 FPS average, well below the threshold, so Low is the ceiling.

At 2560x1440, Low again is the only preset that qualifies, averaging 64 FPS. Medium drops to 40 FPS average with a minimum of 34 FPS, which is not close to playable by the 60 FPS standard.

At 3840x2160, there is no best setting. No preset reaches 60 FPS. The highest recorded average is 54 FPS on Low, followed by 34 FPS on Medium, 32 FPS on High, and 26 FPS on Ultra. The verdict data confirms this explicitly: the playable settings list for 4K is empty.

The pattern is consistent and easy to summarize. Low settings are mandatory at 1080p and 1440p, and 4K is out of reach entirely for this configuration in Overpower.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling data tells a clear story about which component governs performance in Overpower on this build.

Consider the resolution scaling on the Low preset: 72 FPS at 1080p, 64 FPS at 1440p, and 54 FPS at 4K. That is a modest decline across a quadrupling of pixel count, which normally suggests a CPU ceiling. But the absolute frame rates are low, and the preset scaling at 1080p is severe: 72 FPS on Low collapses to 45 FPS on Medium, 42 FPS on High, and 35 FPS on Ultra. When quality settings alone nearly halve the frame rate, the GPU is doing the limiting.

Preset scaling at 1440p and 4K shows the same signature. At 1440p, Low delivers 64 FPS while Ultra delivers 31 FPS. At 4K, Low manages 54 FPS while Ultra manages 26 FPS. In each case, raising visual quality cuts performance roughly in half. A CPU-bound configuration would show nearly flat performance across presets, and that is not what the data shows.

The conclusion is that Overpower is GPU-limited on this combination at every resolution. The Ryzen 9 7900X, with a single-thread score of 2016.5 in Cinebench R23 and 2617 in Geekbench, has ample headroom for an action title of this kind, and its 91st percentile ranking means it is not the constraint. The Arc B390, at the 9th percentile, is. Its sole recorded synthetic result, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482, sits in entry-level territory, and the game data bears that out. Any performance uplift for this build would come from a stronger discrete GPU, not a processor change.

Similar Performance Alternatives

On the CPU side, the recorded rival data identifies four processors with nearly identical aggregate performance. The AMD EPYC 7313P averages 53206, just 0.2 percent below the Ryzen 9 7900X. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 averages 53469, 0.3 percent above. The Intel Xeon 634 averages 52974, 0.6 percent below. The Intel Core i7-14700F averages 53620, 0.6 percent above. Swapping any of these in would not meaningfully change the Overpower results, because the game is graphics-limited on this pairing.

On the GPU side, the nearest recorded rivals to the Arc B390 are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX at an average score of 1463 (1.3 percent below), the NVIDIA GeForce 800M at 1460 (1.5 percent below), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM at 1446 (2.5 percent below), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 at 1443 (2.7 percent below). These are all modest, older-class graphics solutions, and the tight clustering of scores indicates the B390's performance bracket is well established in the database. A system built around any of these GPUs would be expected to produce broadly similar Overpower frame rates to the ones recorded here, with the same conclusion: Low settings, sub-4K resolutions, and 60 FPS only barely achieved.

The practical takeaway for a reader with a similar GPU is straightforward. If your graphics solution scores in this range, expect Overpower to run at the Low preset for 60 FPS gameplay, and expect 4K to be off the table.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Overpower? Yes, with significant compromises.

At 1920x1080, the build clears the 60 FPS bar on the Low preset at 72 FPS average. That is a genuinely playable result, though the margin above the threshold is not large, and the Medium preset's 45 FPS average shows there is no room to raise quality.

At 2560x1440, the build again clears 60 FPS on Low, at 64 FPS average. This is a thinner margin, and the Medium result of 40 FPS average with dips to 34 FPS confirms that quality settings cannot be increased.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is negative. The playable settings list is empty. The best result is 54 FPS on Low, six frames short of the threshold, and the Medium, High, and Ultra presets deliver 34, 32, and 26 FPS respectively.

In plain terms: this combination runs Overpower acceptably at 1080p and 1440p on Low settings only. It cannot run the game at 4K to the database's playable standard under any preset. The ranking of 3301 out of 3713 tested combos in this game places the configuration near the bottom of the recorded field, and the cause is unambiguous. The Ryzen 9 7900X is a top-tier processor, but the Arc B390's entry-level graphics performance caps the entire experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are recorded measurements from the database for Overpower on the Ryzen 9 7900X and Arc B390 combination.

At 3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 54 FPS average. Minimum and maximum not recorded.
• Medium: 34 FPS average, with a minimum of 29 FPS and a maximum of 39 FPS. This is the only 4K result with full frame-time spread data, and the tight 29 to 39 range indicates consistently low performance rather than intermittent stutter around a higher average.
• High: 32 FPS average. Minimum and maximum not recorded.
• Ultra: 26 FPS average, the lowest result in the entire dataset. Minimum and maximum not recorded.

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 64 FPS average, the only 1440p result above the 60 FPS threshold. Minimum and maximum not recorded.
• Medium: 40 FPS average, with a minimum of 34 FPS and a maximum of 46 FPS.
• High: 37 FPS average. Minimum and maximum not recorded.
• Ultra: 31 FPS average. Minimum and maximum not recorded.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 72 FPS average, the best result in the dataset and a clear pass against the 60 FPS threshold. Minimum and maximum not recorded.
• Medium: 45 FPS average, with a minimum of 38 FPS and a maximum of 52 FPS. Even at 1080p, the Medium floor sits well below 60.
• High: 42 FPS average. Minimum and maximum not recorded.
• Ultra: 35 FPS average. Minimum and maximum not recorded.

Read across resolutions, the data shows a consistent degradation. The Low preset slides from 72 to 64 to 54 FPS as resolution climbs from 1080p to 1440p to 4K. Medium slides from 45 to 40 to 34. High slides from 42 to 37 to 32. Ultra slides from 35 to 31 to 26. Every preset-resolution combination follows the same downward curve, and only two cells in the entire grid, 1080p Low and 1440p Low, meet the playable standard. For a game in the action genre where sustained frame rates matter, the recorded data supports Low-preset gameplay at 1080p or 1440p and nothing more on this hardware.
