Overpower

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a playable experience in Overpower, but the margin for error is thin at higher settings. The data shows a clear pattern: this combo excels at 1080p and 1440p with adjusted settings, while 4K demands significant compromises. The benchmark results indicate that the Arc B570’s performance profile, which sits near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile in the database, is the primary driver of frame rates, while the i5-10400F’s 68th percentile standing among all CPUs ensures the processor is not a bottleneck in most scenarios.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-10400F’s average benchmark score of 14185 places it in close company with several other processors. The nearest rival is the Intel Core 7 160UL, which scores 14232, a difference of only 0.3% (the i5 is slightly faster). The Intel Xeon 6756E trails by a razor-thin 0.2% with a score of 14163, meaning the i5-10400F and that Xeon are effectively interchangeable in terms of raw compute for Overpower. On the AMD side, the EPYC 7552 scores 14115, putting it 0.5% behind the i5, while the Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, which is 0.6% ahead of the i5. These deltas are all within noise for gaming workloads, so any of these four CPUs would produce nearly identical frame pacing in Overpower when paired with the same GPU.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570’s average benchmark score of 20556 places it directly alongside several established cards. The closest competitor is the Intel Arc A750, which scores 20582, a 0.1% difference favoring the A750. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, just 0.1% behind the B570, making these two effectively equivalent in raw throughput. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, which is 0.4% behind, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, which is 0.5% ahead. In practical terms, a system with the B570 and any of these GPUs would deliver very similar frame rates in Overpower at the same settings, assuming the CPU is not a limiting factor.

FAQ

*Q: Can the Intel Core i5-10400F and Intel Arc B570 run Overpower at 1920x1080?*

A: Yes, the combo runs the game at 1080p with playable frame rates on High, Medium, and Low settings. At High settings the average FPS is 64, at Medium it is 69, and at Low it reaches 110 FPS. Ultra settings fall below the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 53 FPS.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 2560x1440 resolution?

A: The best playable setting at 1440p is Medium, which produces an average of 62 FPS with a minimum of 52 FPS and a maximum of 71 FPS. Low settings are also playable, averaging 98 FPS, but High and Ultra settings do not maintain 60 FPS averages (57 FPS and 47 FPS, respectively).

Q: Is 3840x2160 (4K) playable with this hardware?

A: Only at Low settings. The 4K Low preset averages 84 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 52 FPS, High averages 49 FPS, and Ultra averages 40 FPS, all of which are below the playable threshold.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B570 compare to the Intel Arc A750 in the database?

A: The two GPUs are nearly identical in performance. The B570 has an average benchmark score of 20556, while the A750 scores 20582. The A750 is 0.1% faster, a difference that would not produce a noticeable change in Overpower frame rates.

Q: What is the FPS range for the Medium preset at 1920x1080?

A: The average FPS is 69, with a minimum of 59 and a maximum of 79. The minimum dips just below the 60 FPS threshold, but the average remains comfortably playable.

*Q: Does the Intel Core i5-10400F bottleneck the Intel Arc B570 in Overpower?*

A: The benchmark data suggests no significant bottleneck. The i5-10400F scores 14185 on average, placing it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core 7 160UL (14232) and AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (14277), are within 0.6% of its score, so processor performance is sufficient to feed the GPU in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a wide spread across settings. The Low preset delivers the highest average at 110 FPS. Medium follows with an average of 69 FPS, a minimum of 59 FPS, and a maximum of 79 FPS. High settings produce an average of 64 FPS. Ultra is the only preset that fails to reach the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 53 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts downward. Low settings average 98 FPS, making it the only preset with a large margin above 60 FPS. Medium averages 62 FPS, with a minimum of 52 FPS and a maximum of 71 FPS, which is just enough to qualify as playable. High settings drop to an average of 57 FPS, and Ultra falls to 47 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly under heavy load. Low settings average 84 FPS, which is the only playable option at this resolution. Medium averages 52 FPS, with a minimum of 44 FPS and a maximum of 60 FPS. High settings average 49 FPS, and Ultra averages 40 FPS. The 4K Medium preset’s maximum of 60 FPS shows that even at its peak, the combo cannot sustain a steady 60 FPS at that quality level.

The recorded data indicates that the Intel Arc B570’s 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for Overpower at all tested resolutions, but the GPU’s raw compute (11.52 TFLOPS FP32) limits high-end settings at 4K.

The Verdict

This PC can run Overpower at 60 FPS or higher, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the verdict is clear: High, Medium, and Low presets all average above 60 FPS, with High at 64 FPS and Medium at 69 FPS. Ultra is not playable, averaging 53 FPS. At 2560x1440, the system clears the threshold on Medium (62 FPS) and Low (98 FPS), but High (57 FPS) and Ultra (47 FPS) fall short. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset is playable, averaging 84 FPS. The best settings per resolution, as defined by the highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, are: High at 1080p (64 FPS), Medium at 1440p (62 FPS), and Low at 4K (84 FPS). Users who prioritize visual fidelity at 4K will need to accept a frame rate below 60 FPS, as the Ultra preset averages only 40 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2987th out of 3713 tested combos in the database for Overpower. This places the system in the lower portion of the overall ranking, but the percentile data for the individual components tells a more nuanced story. The CPU sits in the 68th percentile of all CPUs, which is respectable, while the GPU sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. The rank of 2987 suggests that many other combos in the database have either stronger GPUs or a better CPU-GPU balance for this specific title. However, the measured FPS data shows that the combo is still capable of hitting 60 FPS at 1080p High and 1440p Medium, so the low rank reflects the competitive field rather than an unplayable experience. The gap between the CPU’s percentile (68th) and the GPU’s percentile (65th) is small, indicating a balanced pairing.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of 60 FPS or higher is High, with an average of 64 FPS. Medium also qualifies at 69 FPS, but High offers better visual quality without dropping below the threshold.

For 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Medium, averaging 62 FPS. Low settings also work (98 FPS), but Medium provides a better balance of quality and performance. The minimum FPS at Medium is 52, so there may be brief dips below 60 FPS in heavy scenes.

For 3840x2160, the only preset that clears 60 FPS is Low, averaging 84 FPS. This is the recommended choice for 4K play, as all other presets (Medium at 52 FPS, High at 49 FPS, Ultra at 40 FPS) fall below the playable threshold. The 4K Low setting offers a substantial performance margin, making it the safest option for consistent frame rates at that resolution.
