Overpower

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the Intel Arc B580 presents a compelling mid-range combination for action titles. In Overpower, the recorded data shows a system that is capable of delivering smooth frame rates at standard resolutions but begins to show its limits when pushed to higher pixel counts and maximum visual fidelity. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across the three primary resolutions and four graphics presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains 12 distinct measurement points for this combination, covering 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 resolutions, each with Low, Medium, High, and Ultra settings.

1920x1080 (1080p)

At Full HD, the system performs admirably across the board. The Low preset delivers an average of 125 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded for this combo at any resolution or setting. Moving up to Medium, the average drops to 78 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 66 FPS and a maximum of 90 FPS. The High preset produces an average of 72 FPS. The most demanding setting, Ultra, still manages to hold an average of 60 FPS, which exactly matches the playable threshold.

2560x1440 (1440p)

At Quad HD, the performance scaling is consistent. The Low preset delivers an average of 111 FPS, still a very high frame rate for competitive play. Medium settings yield an average of 70 FPS, with a minimum of 59 FPS and a maximum of 80 FPS. The High preset averages 65 FPS. The Ultra preset, however, falls below the playable threshold, recording an average of 54 FPS.

3840x2160 (4K)

At 4K resolution, the demands on the hardware increase substantially. The Low preset remains very playable, with an average of 95 FPS. The Medium preset averages 59 FPS, which is just one frame per second shy of the 60 FPS threshold, with a minimum of 50 FPS and a maximum of 68 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 55 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding configuration tested, producing an average of only 46 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

Analyzing the scaling between resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between the Intel Core i5-10400F and the Intel Arc B580. The CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, while the GPU features 2560 shading units and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus.

At 1080p, the frame rates are high enough that the CPU's single-thread performance becomes more relevant. The i5-10400F scores 688 in the 3dmark single-thread test and 1451 in Cinebench R23 single-core. The difference between Low (125 FPS) and Ultra (60 FPS) at this resolution shows that the GPU is still the primary bottleneck when settings are increased, but the CPU is capable of feeding the Arc B580 with enough data to reach those high averages.

The jump from 1080p to 1440p shows a moderate performance drop across all settings. The Low preset drops from 125 FPS to 111 FPS, a reduction of about 11%. The Ultra preset drops from 60 FPS to 54 FPS, a 10% reduction. This relatively mild scaling suggests that the GPU has enough headroom in its 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth to handle the extra pixels without a dramatic collapse.

At 4K, the scaling becomes more aggressive. The Low preset drops from 111 FPS at 1440p to 95 FPS at 4K, a 14% reduction. The Medium preset drops from 70 FPS to 59 FPS, a 16% reduction. The High preset drops from 65 FPS to 55 FPS, a 15% reduction. The Ultra preset goes from 54 FPS to 46 FPS, also a 15% reduction. This consistent percentage drop across presets indicates that at 4K, the GPU's compute throughput and memory subsystem are the dominant factors, and the CPU's role diminishes.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the system is balanced, with the GPU limiting performance at higher presets. At 1440p, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. At 4K, the GPU is fully saturated, and the CPU has ample headroom. The i5-10400F's multi-thread score of 10283 in Cinebench R23 and 12115 in Passmark multithread indicates it is not the constraint in this game at any resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS average at each resolution.

3840x2160: The best playable setting is Low, which delivers an average of 95 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that clears the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset comes close with 59 FPS, but it does not meet the requirement.

2560x1440: The best playable setting is High, with an average of 65 FPS. This is notable because it means 1440p users can enjoy high visual quality while staying above the playable threshold. The Medium preset also qualifies at 70 FPS, and Low at 111 FPS, but High is the most demanding option that still works.

1920x1080: The best playable setting is Ultra, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. This allows 1080p users to run the game at maximum settings while meeting the minimum playable frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's ranking of all tested CPU and GPU combinations for Overpower, this pair holds the 2788th position out of 3713 total combos. This places it in the lower third of all tested systems, which reflects the mid-range nature of both components.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals in the database provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly to this combo.

For the CPU, the Intel Xeon 6756E has an average score that is 0.2% lower than the i5-10400F, making it virtually identical in synthetic benchmarks. The AMD EPYC 7552 is 0.5% slower. On the other side, the Intel Core 7 160UL is 0.3% faster and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C is 0.6% faster. Any of these processors paired with the Arc B580 would produce frame rates in Overpower that are essentially indistinguishable from the recorded data.

For the GPU, the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP is 0.2% faster than the Arc B580, making it the closest match. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 is 0.6% slower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is 0.7% faster.
