Overpower

Best Settings per Resolution

The measured frame rates for this configuration establish clear boundaries for playable settings at each resolution. The playable threshold is set at 60 FPS, and the data shows which settings presets can consistently reach that mark.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the only preset that clears the 60 FPS bar is Low, which delivers an average of 84 FPS. Medium drops to 52 FPS, High falls to 49 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 40 FPS. The jump from Medium to Low is substantial, representing a 32 FPS improvement, which suggests the game's rendering load at 4K scales heavily with preset complexity.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves considerably. Medium settings average 62 FPS, edging just past the 60 FPS threshold, while Low runs at 98 FPS. High sits at 57 FPS, just below the playable line, and Ultra trails at 47 FPS. The Medium preset is the most demanding option that remains playable here, but it leaves only a 2 FPS margin above the threshold, making it a borderline choice for scenes with variable complexity.

At 1920x1080, the configuration has more headroom. High settings average 64 FPS, clearing the threshold by 4 FPS. Medium runs at 69 FPS, and Low reaches 110 FPS. Ultra remains unplayable at 53 FPS. The best playable preset at 1080p is High, though the margin is modest; Medium offers a more comfortable 9 FPS cushion if visual fidelity can be slightly reduced.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling pattern across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU share responsibility in this title. The data shows a pronounced difference between 1080p and 4K performance, particularly when comparing the Low preset at each resolution.

At 1920x1080 Low, the system achieves 110 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 98 FPS, a 12 FPS reduction. At 3840x2160 Low, the figure falls to 84 FPS, another 14 FPS decline. This steady degradation as resolution increases points to the GPU becoming progressively more dominant in determining performance, since the CPU workload remains roughly constant across resolutions while the pixel rendering load grows.

The Medium preset tells a similar story: 69 FPS at 1080p, 62 FPS at 1440p, and 52 FPS at 4K. The performance loss between 1080p and 1440p is 7 FPS, and between 1440p and 4K it is 10 FPS. These reductions are consistent with GPU-bound scaling, where higher pixel counts demand more from the graphics card.

However, the CPU still matters for the High and Ultra presets, where the gap between resolutions shrinks. High settings produce 64 FPS at 1080p, 57 FPS at 1440p, and 49 FPS at 4K. The deltas here are smaller (7 FPS and 8 FPS respectively), which suggests that at higher preset levels, the additional graphics workload compresses the resolution scaling effect, implying a different balance of CPU and GPU involvement.

The Intel Core i5-11400F, with 6 cores and 12 threads, posts a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14340 and a single-core score of 2024. These figures indicate a capable mid-range CPU that is unlikely to bottleneck the Intel Arc B570 at lower resolutions, but the benchmark results show that the GPU's 10 GB memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors as resolution climbs. The GPU's 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are sufficient for 1080p High, but at 4K Ultra the rendering demands exceed what this combination can deliver.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Overpower, this pairing of the Intel Core i5-11400F and Intel Arc B570 holds position 2987 out of 3713 total combos. That places it in the lower portion of the ranking, roughly at the 20th percentile of all tested systems.

This ranking is consistent with the measured frame rates. The configuration can handle 1080p High and 1440p Medium, but it cannot manage 4K at any preset above Low, and Ultra settings are unplayable at every resolution. Many other combinations in the database clearly outperform it, particularly those with higher-end GPUs that can sustain 60 FPS at 4K Medium or better.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 65 indicates it sits above the median for all tested graphics cards, while the CPU's percentile of 71 is similarly mid-to-upper range. Yet the combined result in this specific game falls short of what those individual rankings might suggest, because Overpower appears to place heavy demands on the graphics subsystem at higher resolutions and preset levels.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Examining the nearest rivals for both components provides context for what other hardware would behave similarly in this configuration.

For the CPU, the closest matches in average benchmark score are the AMD EPYC 7H12 at 17120 (0.3% ahead), the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U at 17074 (0.6% behind), the Intel Core i5-12450H at 17239 (0.4% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G at 17278 (0.6% behind). These processors all deliver within a percentage point of the i5-11400F's average score of 17177, so swapping to any of them would produce nearly identical CPU performance in Overpower.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570's average score of 20556 is closely matched by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 (0.1% ahead), the Intel Arc A750 at 20582 (0.1% behind), the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20480 (0.4% ahead), and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X at 20662 (0.5% behind). Any of these graphics cards would be expected to deliver frame rates within a fraction of a percent of the Arc B570 in this game.

A system built with the i5-11400F and any of the listed GPU alternatives would land at essentially the same performance tier. The Intel Arc A750 is particularly notable as a direct same-vendor comparison, given it is the closest rival in score. The RTX 3070 Mobile, despite being a laptop part, shows that mobile variants of higher-tier desktop GPUs can match this desktop card's performance in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data provides exact average, minimum, and maximum frame rates for each resolution and preset combination. Minimum and maximum values were only captured for Medium settings, so those are the only points where the full range is known.

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 84 FPS average, no min/max recorded
• Medium: 52 FPS average, 44 FPS minimum, 60 FPS maximum
• High: 49 FPS average, no min/max recorded
• Ultra: 40 FPS average, no min/max recorded

The Medium preset at 4K shows a 16 FPS spread between minimum and maximum, indicating considerable frame time variance. The maximum of 60 FPS confirms that the system occasionally touches the playable threshold even at this resolution, but the average and minimum both fall well below it.

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 98 FPS average, no min/max recorded
• Medium: 62 FPS average, 52 FPS minimum, 71 FPS maximum
• High: 57 FPS average, no min/max recorded
• Ultra: 47 FPS average, no min/max recorded

The 1440p Medium preset has a 19 FPS range, the widest of any recorded setting. The 52 FPS minimum means there are moments where the frame rate dips below the playable threshold, even though the average clears it. This suggests that the 62 FPS average at Medium may not feel consistently smooth during intense sequences.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 110 FPS average, no min/max recorded
• Medium: 69 FPS average, 59 FPS minimum, 79 FPS maximum
• High: 64 FPS average, no min/max recorded
• Ultra: 53 FPS average, no min/max recorded

At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 59 FPS is just 1 FPS below the playable threshold. The High preset, which is the best playable option per the verdict data, has no recorded minimum, so its worst-case behavior is unknown. The 110 FPS average at Low makes that preset the only one with substantial headroom above 60 FPS.

The Verdict

This configuration can run Overpower, but the playable range is restricted. At 3840x2160, only the Low preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 84 FPS. At 2560x1440, both Low and Medium are playable, with Medium at 62 FPS being the best option. At 1920x1080, High, Medium, and Low all exceed 60 FPS on average, with High at 64 FPS being the most demanding playable preset.

The system cannot handle Ultra settings at any resolution. The highest average achieved on Ultra is 53 FPS at 1080p, which falls short of the playable threshold. Similarly, High settings at 4K and 1440p remain below 60 FPS, with averages of 49 FPS and 57 FPS respectively.

For users seeking a stable 60 FPS experience, 1080p High or 1440p Medium are the practical targets. The 1080p High preset averages 64 FPS, but the margin is thin; 1440p Medium offers a 62 FPS average with a recorded minimum of 52 FPS, so players who prioritize consistency over visual quality may prefer 1080p Medium at 69 FPS. The 4K Low preset at 84 FPS is the only way to enjoy this game at that resolution, and it requires accepting substantial graphical compromises.
