How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2987 out of 3713 places this pairing in the bottom quintile of tested configurations for Overpower. The CPU alone sits in the 89th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 65th percentile. That discrepancy suggests the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU's average benchmark score is 46881, which is nearly identical to its nearest rivals (within 0.5%), while the GPU's average score of 20556 is also within 0.5% of its nearest rivals. Yet in this game, the combination only reaches playable frame rates at lower settings. The data indicates that the Arc B570, despite being a mid-range GPU, cannot sustain high preset quality at higher resolutions. The CPU's strong multi-threaded performance—Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30745—does not compensate for the GPU's limitations in this title. The CPU also delivers a single-core score of 2116 in Cinebench R23, which is ample for game logic, but the GPU's 65th percentile standing is the primary constraint. The rank reflects that this is not a high-performing combo for Overpower, even though the CPU is a top-tier part.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals—AMD Ryzen 9 5900, AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375, AMD Ryzen 9 7845HX, and Intel Xeon w3-2535—all score within 0.5% of the i7-13700K. In Overpower, swapping the CPU for any of these would yield essentially identical CPU-bound behavior. On the GPU side, the Arc B570 is matched within 0.5% by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, Intel Arc A750, NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, and AMD Radeon R9 M390X. A system using any of those GPUs with the same CPU would produce very similar frame rates in this game. The Arc A750 is particularly relevant as a direct Intel alternative with nearly identical average benchmark scores (20582 vs 20556, delta -0.1%). For users considering a change, these alternatives represent the closest performance envelope; any of them would shift the measured FPS by less than a single percentage point, given the same CPU and game settings.

The Verdict

According to the verdict data, this PC can run Overpower at 60 FPS or higher at 1080p on High settings (64 FPS average), at 1440p on Medium (62 FPS), and at 4K only on Low (84 FPS). The playable settings per resolution are: 4K – Low; 1440p – Low and Medium; 1080p – High, Low, and Medium. Ultra is not playable at any resolution, with the best Ultra result being 53 FPS at 1080p. Therefore, the system is capable of smooth gameplay, but only if the user is willing to lower settings at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the user can enjoy High quality with a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. At 1440p, Medium is the ceiling, and at 4K, only Low settings deliver the required frame rate. This is a clear indication that the GPU is the binding constraint for this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

Examining the scaling between resolutions and presets reveals that the GPU dominates the performance profile. At Medium settings, the average frame rate drops from 69 FPS at 1080p to 62 at 1440p and 52 at 4K—a 25% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the drop is from 64 to 57 to 49. This consistent decline with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload. The CPU's high percentile (89th) and its multi-core score of 30745 in Cinebench R23 indicate it is not the bottleneck. Furthermore, the CPU's single-thread performance (2116 in Cinebench R23 single-core) is strong enough for typical game logic. The data suggests that the Arc B570's 65th percentile standing is the primary constraint; even at 1080p Low, where the CPU could potentially push higher frame rates, the GPU caps the output at 110 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at each resolution further emphasizes GPU dominance: at 1080p, Low delivers 110 FPS while Ultra drops to 53; at 1440p, 98 to 47; at 4K, 84 to 40. The GPU's limited headroom is evident in the min/max figures for Medium—at 4K, the range is 44–60 FPS, which straddles the playable threshold. In summary, for Overpower, the GPU matters more at every resolution, and the CPU's headroom is not fully utilized.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 84 FPS. At 2560x1440, Medium is the best, averaging 62 FPS. At 1920x1080, High is the best, averaging 64 FPS. These are the highest settings that maintain the 60 FPS playable threshold according to the verdict data. The choice of best settings directly reflects the GPU's scaling: at 4K, even Medium falls to 52 FPS, so only Low remains viable; at 1440p, Medium clears 60 FPS with a slim margin; at 1080p, High offers a 4 FPS buffer over the threshold. Users seeking higher visual fidelity would need to accept sub-60 FPS performance, as Ultra is not playable at any resolution.

The measured FPS data show that only the Medium preset at each resolution includes min/max values; all other presets report only the average. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 59 FPS is just 1 FPS below the playable threshold, indicating occasional dips below 60 FPS despite an average of 69. At 1440p Medium, the min is 52 FPS, which is more pronounced, and at 4K Medium, the min of 44 FPS is well below the threshold. These variations reinforce the GPU-bound nature of the game, as the frame time consistency degrades with increasing resolution and settings. The highest average frame rate recorded is 110 FPS at 1080p Low, while the lowest is 40 FPS at 4K Ultra. This spread of 70 FPS across the tested configurations underscores the sensitivity of Overpower to GPU load.
