Overpower

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-13400F sits in a tightly contested performance cluster, with its nearest rivals separated by fractions of a percent. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS matches the i5-13400F's average benchmark score almost exactly, with a deltaPct of 0. The Intel Core 5 120 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D trail by just 0.3%, while the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H leads by a marginal 0.4%. For gaming workloads, the data suggests that swapping between these four CPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable results in frame pacing and average throughput. The Ryzen 5 5600X3D, in particular, is an interesting comparison because its cache-heavy design is often favored in gaming scenarios, yet its overall average score is statistically tied with the i5-13400F.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070's nearest rivals present a more varied picture. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 is virtually identical in average score (deltaPct of 0.1), though that comparison is likely driven by compute-oriented workloads rather than gaming. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 0.4% higher, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile runs 1.3% ahead and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 trails by 1.3%. For Overpower specifically, the RTX 4070's combination of 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth places it in a class where the nearest rivals either lack comparable memory capacity or are mobile variants with different power envelopes. The RTX 4080 Mobile's 1.3% lead in average score suggests it might edge out the desktop 4070 in some scenes, but the measured FPS data for this combo shows consistent performance across resolutions.

The practical implication is that if a user were building a system with similar expectations, swapping the i5-13400F for any of its four rivals would change average performance by less than half a percent. Likewise, choosing between the RTX 4070 and its nearest GPU rivals would yield at most a 1.3% difference in synthetic benchmarks. In real gameplay, these differences are within run-to-run variance. The bottleneck analysis, however, reveals the CPU is the limiting factor at lower resolutions—the RTX 4070's 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs contrasts with the CPU's 77th percentile, suggesting the processor holds back the GPU slightly at 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

Among 3,713 tested combinations for Overpower, this pairing of Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 833rd. That places it in the top 22.4% of all tested combos, which is a strong showing for a mainstream desktop platform. The rank reflects the combined capability of both components, and the data indicates the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset combination tested. The percentile positions of the individual components—77th for the CPU and 81st for the GPU—suggest the GPU is slightly more capable relative to its peers than the CPU, but neither component falls into a weak category.

The rank of 833 out of 3,713 means there are 832 combos that perform better, but those likely include higher-end configurations like RTX 4080 or 4090 class GPUs paired with flagship CPUs. Considering the RTX 4070's nearest rivals include mobile GPUs and older architectures, the 833rd rank is impressive for a desktop mid-range build. The gap between this combo and the top 10% likely comes from CPUs with more cores or GPUs with higher memory bandwidth. However, for Overpower specifically, the measured FPS at 4K Ultra (77.5 avg) shows this combo has headroom even at the most demanding settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four quality presets, with all values representing average frame rates (min and max FPS were not recorded). At 1920x1080, the system delivers 210.2 FPS on Low, 133 FPS on Medium, 123.1 FPS on High, and 104 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 50.5% performance drop, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario at 1080p. The jump from Low to Medium costs 77.2 FPS (36.7%), while the Medium-to-High transition costs only 9.9 FPS (7.4%).

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU's relative weakness becomes apparent. The i5-13400F's 77th percentile ranking, combined with the RTX 4070's 81st percentile, means the processor is the limiting factor at lower resolutions. This is evidenced by the scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p: the 50.5% performance drop is larger than at higher resolutions, suggesting the GPU has more headroom but is constrained by the CPU's ability to feed frames. The 210.2 FPS at Low settings indicates the CPU can push high frame rates, but the GPU is waiting for data at Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts toward the GPU. The FPS scaling from Low (187) to Ultra (89.8) shows a 52% reduction, which is similar to 1080p, but the absolute values suggest the GPU is now doing more work per frame. The Medium-to-High delta of 11.1% is smaller than at 1080p, indicating the CPU is less of a constraint. The 1440p results align with the GPU's 81st percentile ranking, showing the RTX 4070 can handle this resolution without CPU interference.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The Low-to-Ultra drop is 51.8%, but the absolute FPS values (160.7 to 77.5) show the GPU is working near its limits. The High-to-Ultra gap of 18.4% is the largest relative drop across all resolutions, suggesting that at 4K, the GPU's memory bandwidth and shading units are fully utilized. The CPU's role diminishes further, as the i5-13400F's 16 threads are sufficient to keep up with the GPU at 4K. The data indicates that for 1080p gaming, upgrading the CPU would yield larger gains, while for 4K, the GPU is the primary upgrade path.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 104 FPS. This is 44 FPS above the playable threshold, leaving room for background tasks or future patches. The GPU has significant headroom at 1080p, so users could potentially enable additional features like ray tracing (not tested) without dropping below 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, Ultra settings also remain viable, delivering 89.8 FPS average. This is 29.8 FPS above the threshold, providing a comfortable margin. The step down to High (107.8 FPS) offers a 20% performance increase but sacrifices visual fidelity. For users prioritizing frame rate, High would be the choice, but Ultra is playable.

At 3840x2160, Ultra settings produce 77.5 FPS average, which is 17.5 FPS above the threshold. This is the only resolution where the margin narrows noticeably. High settings (95 FPS) provide a 22.6% boost, while Medium (100.8 FPS) and Low (160.7 FPS) offer even more headroom. The verdict data confirms Ultra is the best setting at 4K, but the 77.5 FPS average means there is limited buffer for demanding scenes. For a locked 60 FPS experience, High or Medium would be safer choices.

The Verdict

This system can run Overpower with authority. The verdictByResolution data lists all four settings presets as playable at every resolution, with no exceptions. At 1920x1080, the worst-case Ultra preset averages 104 FPS, which is 73.3% above the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 89.8 FPS, 49.7% above the threshold. At 3840x2160, Ultra averages 77.5 FPS, 29.2% above the threshold.

The strongest performance comes at 1080p Low, where 210.2 FPS average exceeds the threshold by 250.3%, making this setup ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 4K, the system remains capable of Ultra settings, but the 77.5 FPS average means users should expect occasional dips in heavy scenes (min FPS data is not available, but the margin is thin). For the absolute smoothest 4K experience, High settings at 95 FPS provide a safer buffer. Overall, the i5-13400F and RTX 4070 combination ranks in the top 22.4% of all tested combos for Overpower, delivering playable frame rates at every resolution and preset tested. The CPU's 77th percentile and GPU's 81st percentile rankings indicate a balanced pairing, though the CPU becomes the bottleneck at 1080p while the GPU dominates at 4K.
