Overpower

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Overpower, with the data showing playable frame rates even at 4K High settings. The measured results place this combination in the 54th percentile of all tested combos for this title, ranking 2004th out of 3713. The benchmark data confirms that this system clears the 60 FPS threshold at all three tested resolutions, though the preset ceiling varies significantly with resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 153.7 FPS, which is the peak performance recorded for this system. Moving to Medium drops the average to 94 FPS, while High yields 89.7 FPS. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding setting tested, still maintains an average of 73.9 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a performance reduction of roughly 52%, yet even the heaviest preset remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates decline but remain strong. The Low preset averages 134.4 FPS, which is still exceptionally high. Medium produces 86.5 FPS, and High drops to 78.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 68.3 FPS, which is only about 5.6 FPS below the 1080p Ultra result. This indicates that the GPU has sufficient headroom at this resolution to handle the increased pixel count without a dramatic performance collapse.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes more noticeably. The Low preset still manages a very playable 117.1 FPS, showing that the RTX 4060 can handle 4K when settings are reduced. Medium drops to 73.6 FPS, and High averages 66.3 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 54.9 FPS, which is the only measured configuration that misses the 60 FPS target. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is 11.4 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional effects impose a substantial cost at this resolution.

The data shows no min or max FPS values were recorded, so the analysis relies solely on average frame rates. The absence of frame time variance data means the consistency of these averages cannot be verified, but the averages themselves are consistent across the three resolutions.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling patterns across resolutions reveal that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence because the GPU can produce frames quickly, but the data shows the RTX 4060 still delivers 153.7 FPS at Low settings, indicating that the i5-12400F is not severely limiting the system. The 6-core, 12-thread processor has a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12380, which places it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs, suggesting it has ample compute headroom for this action title.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows a moderate frame rate drop across all presets. For example, High settings drop from 89.7 FPS at 1080p to 78.8 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 10.9 FPS. This is a smaller relative drop than the transition from 1440p to 4K, where High settings fall from 78.8 FPS to 66.3 FPS, a reduction of 12.5 FPS. The increasing pixel count places more demand on the GPU's 272.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

The 4K results clarify the GPU's dominant role. At 4K Low, the system still achieves 117.1 FPS, which is only 16.3 FPS less than the 1080p Low result. This relatively small gap at the Low preset suggests that the CPU can still feed the GPU adequately at 4K, but the GPU's limitations become apparent at higher presets. The 4K Ultra result of 54.9 FPS is the only sub-60 FPS measurement, and it falls 18.4 FPS short of the 4K High result, showing that the Ultra preset's additional rendering load (likely shadows, reflections, and post-processing) overwhelms the GPU at this resolution.

The CPU's influence is most visible in the 1080p Low result. At 153.7 FPS, the system is approaching the point where CPU-bound behavior could emerge, but the i5-12400F's passmark single-thread score of 3481 and 3DMark single-thread score of 909 indicate it can sustain high frame rates. The data does not show any anomalous dips that would suggest CPU stuttering.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are Ultra, which averages 73.9 FPS. This is the most demanding preset tested, and it clears the threshold by 13.9 FPS, providing a comfortable margin for scene-to-scene variance.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are also Ultra, averaging 68.3 FPS. This result is 8.3 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the system can handle the highest quality settings at this resolution with a modest safety margin.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are High, averaging 66.3 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K falls to 54.9 FPS, which is below the playable threshold, so High is the optimal choice for 4K gaming. The High preset provides a 6.3 FPS margin above 60 FPS, which is sufficient but leaves less headroom than the lower resolutions.

The data indicates that the system's performance headroom decreases as resolution increases. At 1080p Ultra, the margin is 13.9 FPS; at 1440p Ultra, it is 8.3 FPS; and at 4K High, it is 6.3 FPS. Users who prioritize consistent frame rates may prefer to use Medium at 4K (73.6 FPS) for a larger buffer, but High remains the highest preset that meets the 60 FPS criterion.

The Verdict

This PC can run Overpower at all three tested resolutions, but the quality ceiling varies. At 1920x1080, the system runs the Ultra preset at 73.9 FPS, clearing the 60 FPS threshold by 13.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset averages 68.3 FPS, remaining above the threshold by 8.3 FPS. At 3840x2160, the High preset averages 66.3 FPS, which is 6.3 FPS above the threshold, but the Ultra preset falls short at 54.9 FPS.

The verdict is clear: this is a 1080p and 1440p Ultra-capable system, and a 4K High-capable system. The data shows that the RTX 4060's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 15.11 TFLOPS of compute are sufficient for the game's demands at 4K High, but the Ultra preset's additional overhead pushes the frame rate below the playable mark. Users targeting 4K should use High settings for a stable experience, while 1080p and 1440p users can enable the highest quality preset without concern.

The CPU does not appear to be a limiting factor in this title, as the i5-12400F's 12 threads and 18 MB of L3 cache provide enough headroom to support the GPU's output at all tested settings. The system's overall rank of 2004 out of 3713 confirms that it is a capable but not top-tier configuration for Overpower.
