Overpower

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-13400F sits in a tightly contested performance band. Its average benchmark score of 25292 places it within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS, which scores 25284. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D are both marginally ahead at 25362 and 25365 respectively, representing a 0.3% gap. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H trails slightly with a score of 25201, a 0.4% difference. In practical terms, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical compute performance in Overpower, and swapping between them would not produce a measurable change in frame rates.

The Intel Arc B370 presents a very different story. Its single recorded benchmark score of 1184 places it at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, which indicates extremely limited graphics capability. The nearest rivals are all legacy or low-power parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168. These deltas are tiny, ranging from -0.7% to +1.4%. The Arc B370 is effectively in a class with decade-old integrated and entry-level discrete graphics solutions. For Overpower, this means the GPU will be the dominant constraint at every resolution, and any system builder considering this combo should expect performance similar to what those older parts would deliver.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data across resolutions makes the division of labor clear. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 65 FPS average. Moving to Medium settings drops the average to 41 FPS, a 37% reduction. At High settings, the average falls further to 38 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 31 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor: as the graphics load increases, frame rates collapse despite the CPU having ample headroom. The CPU's 3dmark single-thread score of 960 and passmark single-thread score of 3634 are respectable for gaming, but the Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 20 ROPs simply cannot sustain higher settings.

Scaling from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Low settings shows a drop from 65 to 58 FPS, a 10.8% reduction. At Medium settings, the drop is from 41 to 36 FPS, an 12.2% reduction. High settings go from 38 to 34 FPS, an 10.5% reduction, and Ultra goes from 31 to 28 FPS, a 9.7% reduction. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 produces steeper declines: Low settings fall from 58 to 49 FPS (15.5% reduction), Medium from 36 to 31 FPS (13.9% reduction), High from 34 to 28 FPS (17.6% reduction), and Ultra from 28 to 24 FPS (14.3% reduction). These consistent double-digit percentage drops with each resolution increase confirm that pixel throughput is the bottleneck. The CPU's role is largely passive here; it feeds the GPU adequately, but the Arc B370's 48.00 GPixel/s pixel rate and 96.00 GTexel/s texture rate cap the output.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows a narrow range of playability. Low settings produce an average of 49 FPS with no min or max recorded. Medium settings yield an average of 31 FPS, with a minimum of 26 FPS and a maximum of 35 FPS. High settings average 28 FPS, and Ultra settings average 24 FPS. None of these meet the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the Low preset falls 11 FPS short.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves slightly but remains below target. Low settings average 58 FPS, just 2 FPS shy of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 36 FPS, with a minimum of 31 and a maximum of 42 FPS. High settings average 34 FPS, and Ultra settings average 28 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is substantial, indicating that the GPU cannot handle the additional shading and texture work that Medium requires.

At 1920x1080, the combo finally crosses the threshold. Low settings average 65 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS target by 5 FPS. Medium settings drop to 41 FPS on average, with a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 47 FPS. High settings average 38 FPS, and Ultra settings average 31 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium is a 37% performance loss, which is the largest single preset transition in the entire dataset. This suggests that Medium introduces effects that the Arc B370's 1280 shading units and 40 TMUs cannot process efficiently.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this Intel Core i5-13400F with Intel Arc B370 combination at position 3427 out of 3713 tested combos for Overpower. This places it in the bottom 7.7% of all configurations. The ranking reflects the severe imbalance between a capable modern CPU and a GPU that performs at the 5th percentile of all graphics cards. The CPU alone, with its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22604 and Geekbench multi-core score of 11068, would rank far higher if paired with a competent discrete GPU. However, the Arc B370's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 drags the entire system down. The data shows that this combo is not competitive for Overpower, and the rank confirms that the vast majority of tested configurations deliver better results.

The Verdict

This PC can run Overpower, but only under very specific conditions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average frame rate is 65 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the only resolution and preset combination that achieves playable performance. At 2560x1440, the best result is 58 FPS on Low settings, which falls just short of the threshold. At 3840x2160, even Low settings only reach 49 FPS, far below playable. The verdict data confirms this: only 1920x1080 Low is listed as playable, with no playable settings at either 2560x1440 or 3840x2160. Users who insist on higher resolutions or more demanding presets will need to accept frame rates in the 24 to 49 FPS range, which is below the 60 FPS target.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 65 FPS. Medium settings at this resolution drop to 41 FPS, so they are not viable. At 2560x1440, no preset achieves 60 FPS; the closest is Low at 58 FPS, which is 2 FPS short. At 3840x2160, the best result is Low at 49 FPS, which is 11 FPS short of the threshold. The database lists no best settings for 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 because none meet the playable criterion. For users who prioritize 1080p gaming, Low settings are the only option that delivers smooth performance. For those who want higher resolutions, the data indicates that this hardware combination is not suitable for Overpower at those display sizes.
