Overpower

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Overpower shows a consistent pattern: this combination of Intel Core i5-12400F and Intel Arc B370 delivers playable frame rates only at 1080p with the Low preset. At every other resolution and settings combination, average FPS falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 65 FPS, which is the only measured configuration that exceeds the 60 FPS target. The Medium preset at the same resolution drops to 41 FPS average, with a minimum of 34 FPS and a maximum of 47 FPS. High settings at 1080p produce 38 FPS on average, while Ultra settings fall to 31 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is substantial, a 24 FPS drop, indicating that the settings scaling has a steep cost in the medium range.

Moving to 2560x1440, no preset reaches the playable threshold. Low settings deliver 58 FPS on average, just 2 FPS short of the target. Medium at 1440p averages 36 FPS (minimum 31, maximum 42), High averages 34 FPS, and Ultra averages 28 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium at this resolution is 22 FPS, similar to the 1080p gap.

At 3840x2160, performance degrades further. Low settings average 49 FPS, Medium averages 31 FPS (minimum 26, maximum 35), High averages 28 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. The resolution scaling from 1080p Low (65 FPS) to 1440p Low (58 FPS) to 4K Low (49 FPS) shows a steady decline of roughly 7 to 9 FPS per step up in resolution.

The data indicates that the Ultra preset is effectively unplayable at every resolution, with scores ranging from 24 to 31 FPS. Even the most favorable configuration, 1080p Low, only clears the 60 FPS bar by 5 FPS, leaving little headroom for demanding scenes.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 3427 out of 3713 tested combos for Overpower. That puts it in the bottom 8 percent of all recorded configurations, a position consistent with the measured FPS results. The combo outperforms only roughly 286 other combinations in the database, a narrow margin.

The ranking reflects the GPU's limitations more than the CPU's capabilities. The Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest GPU rivals, all within a 1.4 percent delta, include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, ATI Radeon HD 5770, AMD Radeon HD 7650M, and AMD FirePro M2000. This places the Arc B370 in the company of legacy and entry-level mobile graphics solutions, not modern desktop gaming hardware.

The Intel Core i5-12400F, by contrast, ranks at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19039. Its nearest CPU rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (delta 0 percent), Intel Core 3 201E (delta -0.1 percent), Intel Core i5-1335U (delta 0.3 percent), and AMD EPYC 7773X (delta 0.3 percent). The CPU is a mid-range performer, but it cannot compensate for the GPU's low standing.

The combination rank of 3427 out of 3713 aligns closely with the GPU's 5th percentile position. In Overpower, the measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the primary constraint, as even the CPU's strong single-thread and multi-thread scores (3dmark single thread 909, cinebench R23 multicore 12380) do not translate into playable frame rates beyond 1080p Low.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the Intel Core i5-12400F, the nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, Intel Core 3 201E, Intel Core i5-1335U, and AMD EPYC 7773X. All four sit within a 0.3 percent average score delta of the i5-12400F. Swapping the CPU for any of these would produce nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Overpower, assuming the same GPU. The Ryzen 5 7535HS matches the i5-12400F at 0 percent delta, meaning no measurable difference in average CPU score. The Core 3 201E trails by 0.1 percent, while the Core i5-1335U and EPYC 7773X lead by 0.3 percent. None of these differences would meaningfully change the FPS results in this game.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest GPU rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, ATI Radeon HD 5770, AMD Radeon HD 7650M, and AMD FirePro M2000. The Arc B370 scores 1184 on the 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, a 0.2 percent advantage; the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, a 0.5 percent advantage; the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, a 0.7 percent advantage; and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, a 1.4 percent deficit. Any of these GPUs would produce frame rates within roughly one FPS of the Arc B370 in Overpower, meaning the same playability profile: 1080p Low only.

A system builder seeking similar performance to this i5-12400F plus Arc B370 combination could expect equivalent results by pairing any of the listed CPUs with any of the listed GPUs. The CPU choices are modern mid-range parts, while the GPU choices are older or low-power parts, which explains why the combination ranks so low.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the dominant constraint in Overpower for this combination. The Intel Arc B370's 5th percentile GPU ranking and its 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput are far below what modern gaming demands. The CPU, with its 73rd percentile ranking, has ample headroom.

Evidence for GPU dominance comes from the resolution scaling. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo averages 65 FPS. At 2560x1440 Low, it drops to 58 FPS, a 7 FPS decline. At 3840x2160 Low, it falls to 49 FPS, another 9 FPS decline. This consistent degradation as resolution increases is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates would remain more stable across resolutions.

The settings scaling also points to the GPU. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 24 FPS (65 to 41), and from Low to Ultra costs 34 FPS (65 to 31). These are large drops for settings changes, which typically stress the GPU's shading and texture units more than the CPU. The GPU's modest 1280 shading units and 20 ROPs are insufficient for higher presets.

The CPU's role becomes apparent only in the minimum FPS data, which is sparse but available for Medium presets. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 34 FPS against an average of 41 FPS, a 7 FPS gap. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 31 FPS against an average of 36 FPS, a 5 FPS gap. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 26 FPS against an average of 31 FPS, also a 5 FPS gap. These minimums are not exceptionally low relative to averages, suggesting the CPU maintains consistent frame pacing without severe hitches.

At 1080p, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Overpower's action genre demands. The CPU's cinebench R23 multicore score of 12380 and single-core score of 1680 indicate solid performance. The bottleneck at 1080p is clearly the GPU, as even the Low preset, which should reduce GPU load, only reaches 65 FPS.

At 1440p and 4K, the GPU's limitations become more pronounced. The pixel fill rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s are low by modern standards, explaining why higher resolutions cause steep FPS declines. The CPU's performance does not change with resolution, yet FPS drops, confirming the GPU is the limiting factor.

In summary, the CPU is a capable mid-range part that is not the limiting factor at any resolution. The GPU is the sole reason this combo cannot exceed 1080p Low. Upgrading the GPU would yield significant improvements, while upgrading the CPU would yield little to no benefit in Overpower.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves the 60 FPS target. The best available option is Low, which averages 49 FPS, but this remains 11 FPS below the playability threshold. Users at 4K must accept sub-60 FPS performance regardless of settings.

At 2560x1440, the same situation applies. Low settings average 58 FPS, 2 FPS short of the target. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further behind, with averages of 36, 34, and 28 FPS respectively. There is no playable configuration at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset is the only playable option, averaging 65 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 38 FPS, and Ultra averages 31 FPS, all below the threshold.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visual quality, 1080p Low is the only viable configuration for this combination. The 5 FPS margin above 60 FPS is slim, so demanding in-game scenes may cause dips below the target, but the recorded average meets the playability standard. All other resolutions and settings require either accepting sub-60 FPS gameplay or upgrading the GPU.
