Overpower

The Intel Core i5-12600KF paired with the Intel Arc B580 presents a balanced mid-range foundation for running Overpower, an Action title released on 2023-08-14. The data indicates this combo ranks 2835 out of 3713 tested configurations. The CPU holds a percentile rank of 79 against all processors, while the GPU sits at the 68th percentile against all graphics cards. In practical terms, this system is capable of delivering playable frame rates across all tested resolutions, though the settings ceiling varies significantly from 1080p to 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have nearby hardware that would behave nearly identically in Overpower. For the Intel Core i5-12600KF, whose average benchmark score is 27799, the closest rivals are separated by less than one percent. The Intel Core i9-10900K scores 27872, a delta of -0.3%, meaning the i5-12600KF is effectively tied with that older flagship. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D scores 27896, also a -0.3% delta, so gamers coming from that popular gaming chip would see nearly the same CPU-bound performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U and AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE round out the nearest group, with deltas of -0.3% and +0.3% respectively. These four alternatives bracket the i5-12600KF so tightly that no CPU upgrade within this group would change Overpower's frame rates by a measurable amount.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B580's average benchmark score is 23021. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 23061, a -0.2% delta, placing it as the closest match. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, a +0.6% delta, meaning the Arc B580 is slightly ahead of that older card. Interestingly, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172, a -0.7% delta, indicating the Arc B580 trails that high-end card by less than one percent in aggregate benchmarks. The NVIDIA P106-100 also appears nearby with a -1% delta. For Overpower specifically, swapping the Arc B580 for any of these rivals would produce nearly identical frame rates, within the margin of measurement error.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a clear pattern: the GPU is the dominant factor at higher resolutions, while the CPU's headroom becomes more relevant at 1080p. At 3840x2160, the gap between Low and Ultra settings is substantial. The Low preset averages 93 FPS, while Ultra drops to 46 FPS — a 47 FPS spread that demonstrates the GPU's workload scaling. At 2560x1440, the spread narrows slightly: Low averages 108.8 FPS, Ultra averages 54.7 FPS, a 54.1 FPS difference. At 1920x1080, the spread compresses further: Low averages 122 FPS, Ultra averages 62.2 FPS, a 59.8 FPS difference. The increasing delta from 4K to 1080p suggests that as resolution drops, the CPU begins to limit maximum frame rates, but the GPU still governs the settings scaling.

The CPU's multi-threaded strength is evident from its benchmarks: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 23391 and Passmark multi-thread scores 27575. These numbers indicate the i5-12600KF can feed the Arc B580 adequately at all tested settings. However, the data shows that even at 1080p Low, the system reaches 122 FPS, which is well below the CPU's theoretical ceiling. This implies the Arc B580 is the primary bottleneck across all resolutions and presets. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 15748, combined with its FP32 throughput of 13.67 TFLOPS, positions it as a capable mid-range part that scales predictably with resolution and settings. For Overpower, the CPU matters less at 4K, where the GPU's raw pixel throughput (213.6 GPixel/s) and texture rate (427.2 GTexel/s) determine the outcome.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains 60 FPS or higher is Medium, which averages 61.4 FPS. The Low preset averages 93 FPS, but Medium provides better visual quality while still clearing the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra at 4K averages only 46 FPS and High averages 55.8 FPS, both below playable.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is High, averaging 64.2 FPS. This is a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 68.3 FPS and Low averages 108.8 FPS, but High offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. Ultra at 1440p averages 54.7 FPS, missing the threshold.

At 1920x1080, the system can run Ultra at an average of 62.2 FPS, which is the most demanding preset available. This clears the 60 FPS line with a small margin. High averages 70.9 FPS, Medium averages 75.4 FPS, and Low averages 122 FPS, but Ultra is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality.

The Verdict

This PC can run Overpower at playable frame rates in every resolution tested, but the settings ceiling varies. The verdictByResolution data confirms that at 3840x2160, the playable settings are Low and Medium, with Medium being the best choice at 61.4 FPS average. At 2560x1440, High, Low, and Medium are all playable, with High as the best at 64.2 FPS. At 1920x1080, all four settings — High, Low, Medium, and Ultra — clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 62.2 FPS.

For a 4K display, the system is viable only with Medium settings or lower. For 1440p, High settings deliver a smooth experience. For 1080p, the full Ultra preset is accessible, making this the sweet spot for this combination. The data shows no configuration falls below 46 FPS, so even the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K remains technically playable, though not at the 60 FPS standard. Overall, the i5-12600KF and Arc B580 pair is adequate for Overpower across all resolutions, with the caveat that 4K Ultra is the only truly compromised scenario.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 93 FPS average
• Medium: 61.4 FPS average
• High: 55.8 FPS average
• Ultra: 46 FPS average

The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline of roughly 15-16 FPS per settings tier. The jump from Medium to High is particularly steep, losing 5.6 FPS, while High to Ultra loses 9.8 FPS.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 108.8 FPS average
• Medium: 68.3 FPS average
• High: 64.2 FPS average
• Ultra: 54.7 FPS average

At 1440p, the drop from Low to Medium is dramatic at 40.5 FPS, but subsequent steps are smaller: Medium to High loses 4.1 FPS, and High to Ultra loses 9.5 FPS. This suggests Medium is a significant quality step that taxes the GPU heavily.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 122 FPS average
• Medium: 75.4 FPS average
• High: 70.9 FPS average
• Ultra: 62.2 FPS average

At 1080p, Low reaches 122 FPS, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium drops to 75.4 FPS, a 46.6 FPS loss from Low. High and Ultra are closer together, with only 8.7 FPS separating them. The Ultra preset's 62.2 FPS average is just above the playable threshold.

The dataset does not include min or max FPS values, so all analysis relies on average frame rates. The measured FPS data is marked as true, indicating real-world testing rather than estimates.
