Overpower

FAQ

Q: What is the best settings preset for this CPU and GPU combo at 1920x1080?

A: The recorded data shows High settings produce the highest playable average FPS at 1080p. High delivers 69.2 FPS, while Medium averages 72.7 FPS and Low averages 117.4 FPS. Ultra falls below the 60 FPS threshold at 55.5 FPS.

Q: Can this system run Overpower at 2560x1440?

A: Yes, three presets clear the 60 FPS playable threshold at 1440p. High settings average 62 FPS, Medium averages 65 FPS, and Low averages 105.3 FPS. Ultra settings miss the mark at 51.4 FPS.

Q: Is 4K gaming viable with the RTX 2060 in this title?

A: Only at Low settings. The 3840x2160 Low preset averages 88.7 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 58.1 FPS, High to 49.6 FPS, and Ultra to 44.5 FPS, all below playable.

Q: How does the CPU's multi-core performance compare to nearby alternatives?

A: The i7-14700F scores 35,122 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. It sits 0.6% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, which scores 53,288 in average benchmark score, and 0.8% behind the AMD EPYC 7313P. It is effectively tied with the Intel Xeon 6505P, which trails by 0.2%.

Q: What GPU performance tier does the RTX 2060 occupy?

A: The RTX 2060 ranks in the 58th percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 15,290, nearly identical to the GTX 580 (0% delta), the AMD Radeon 680M (0.1% ahead), and the RTX 3050 OEM (0.6% ahead).

Q: Which bottleneck is more likely for this game at 1080p?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at higher presets. At 1080p, dropping from Ultra (55.5 FPS) to Low (117.4 FPS) more than doubles the frame rate, showing heavy reliance on GPU settings rather than CPU throughput.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i7-14700F's nearest rivals in the database are all within 0.8% of its average benchmark score. The Intel Xeon 6505P is effectively a statistical tie at -0.2% delta, meaning systems using that Xeon should deliver nearly identical CPU-bound behavior in Overpower. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 sits 0.3% ahead, while the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and AMD EPYC 7313P lead by 0.6% and 0.8% respectively. For practical purposes, any of these four CPUs would produce indistinguishable frame pacing in this game when paired with the same GPU.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2060's nearest rivals are clustered even tighter. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 matches the RTX 2060 exactly with a 0% delta. The AMD Radeon 680M is 0.1% faster, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM is 0.6% faster, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 is 0.8% faster. These deltas are small enough that gamers would not notice a difference in average FPS for Overpower. A system with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would land within a few frames of the numbers recorded here.

It is worth noting the database considers this GPU a 58th percentile part. That means roughly 42% of all tested GPUs are faster, but also that a large majority of gaming PCs fall into this performance bracket. The CPU, by contrast, sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, so it is a much higher-end part relative to the rest of the field. This pairing is therefore CPU-heavy in terms of overall component ranking, though the game itself may not fully exploit that advantage.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded average FPS climbs steadily as settings drop. Ultra averages 55.5 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS playable threshold. High settings improve to 69.2 FPS, a 24.7% gain over Ultra. Medium reaches 72.7 FPS, roughly 31% above Ultra and 5% above High. Low settings jump to 117.4 FPS, which is 111.5% higher than Ultra and 69.7% higher than High. The scaling from Ultra to Low is dramatic, indicating that Overpower's preset levels have a substantial impact on GPU load.

At 2560x1440, the pattern repeats with a similar shape but lower absolute numbers. Ultra averages 51.4 FPS, falling short of the 60 FPS threshold by 8.6 FPS. High settings deliver 62 FPS, just clearing the threshold. Medium averages 65 FPS, 3 FPS above High. Low settings produce 105.3 FPS, which is 104.9% above Ultra and 69.8% above High. The gap between Medium and High at 1440p is only 3 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns when moving from High to Medium.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2060 struggles at most presets. Ultra averages 44.5 FPS, High averages 49.6 FPS, and Medium averages 58.1 FPS. Only Low settings break the 60 FPS barrier, hitting 88.7 FPS. The jump from Medium to Low at 4K is 52.7%, which is larger than the equivalent jump at 1080p (61.5%) but smaller than at 1440p (62%). This suggests the GPU is heavily taxed at 4K and only the lowest preset offers headroom.

All recorded FPS values are averages; the database does not include separate minimum or maximum frame measurements for this configuration. The verdict relies entirely on average FPS against the 60 FPS playable threshold.

The Verdict

This PC can run Overpower, but the playable envelope depends heavily on resolution and preset selection. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on High, Medium, and Low settings. The best playable preset is High, with an average of 69.2 FPS, which leaves a 9.2 FPS margin above the threshold. Ultra settings are not viable at 1080p, as 55.5 FPS falls short.

At 2560x1440, the same three presets remain playable: High at 62 FPS, Medium at 65 FPS, and Low at 105.3 FPS. High is the best playable preset here too, but the margin is thinner at only 2 FPS above the threshold. Players who want more headroom should step down to Medium for an extra 3 FPS. Ultra is not playable at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, averaging 88.7 FPS. That is the single best playable preset across all resolutions in terms of absolute headroom, but it comes at the cost of visual fidelity. Medium, High, and Ultra all fail the 60 FPS test at 4K, with Medium closest at 58.1 FPS. The verdict is clear: this combo is a 1080p and 1440p machine for Overpower, and a 4K machine only on minimal settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling reveals that the GPU is the dominant constraint in Overpower for this pairing. Consider the 1080p data: moving from Ultra to Low increases average FPS from 55.5 to 117.4, a 111.5% improvement. If the CPU were the bottleneck, lowering GPU settings would not produce such a massive frame rate gain. The fact that it does means the RTX 2060's rendering throughput is the limiting factor at every preset except possibly Low.

At 1440p, the same pattern emerges. The spread from Ultra (51.4 FPS) to Low (105.3 FPS) is 104.9%, again pointing to GPU-side limits. The CPU's 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs means it is unlikely to stall even at 1080p Low, where the GPU is producing 117.4 FPS. The i7-14700F's 20 cores and 28 threads provide ample headroom for the game's Action genre demands, which typically favor single-thread responsiveness over raw multi-core throughput.

The resolution scaling further confirms the GPU's role. At High settings, dropping from 1080p (69.2 FPS) to 1440p (62 FPS) costs 10.4% performance, and dropping to 4K (49.6 FPS) costs 28.3% relative to 1080p. This is consistent with GPU-bound behavior, where pixel count directly drives frame time. If the CPU were the bottleneck, resolution changes would have a smaller effect on FPS. The 4K Medium result (58.1 FPS) versus 1440p Medium (65 FPS) shows a 10.6% drop, while 1080p Medium (72.7 FPS) to 1440p Medium shows a 10.6% drop as well. These consistent percentage losses across resolutions indicate the GPU is doing the heavy lifting.

The CPU does matter for maintaining those higher FPS floors. At 1080p Low, the system hits 117.4 FPS, which requires sufficient single-thread performance to feed the GPU. The i7-14700F's single-core scores (4,958 in Cinebench R23, 4,257 in Passmark) are strong enough to avoid holding back the RTX 2060. A weaker CPU might cap frame rates below 117 FPS in that scenario, but this pairing does not show that limitation.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combos for Overpower, this pairing ranks 2,960 out of 3,713 combinations. That places it in the bottom 20.3% of all tested systems. The percentile position is driven primarily by the GPU, which sits at the 58th percentile among all GPUs. The CPU's 91st percentile ranking does not rescue the overall combo rank because the game's performance is GPU-limited at the presets that matter.

The rank of 2,960 means there are 753 tested combos that perform worse and 2,960 that perform better. For a system with a high-end 14th-gen Core i7 and an entry-level Turing GPU, this result is expected. The RTX 2060's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus width are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the data shows it cannot sustain Ultra settings at any resolution in this title.

What this rank does not mean is that the combo is a poor choice for Overpower specifically. The recorded FPS values show playable performance at 1080p and 1440p on multiple presets. The rank simply reflects that many other tested combinations achieve higher average FPS, usually because they pair stronger GPUs with comparable CPUs. If the goal is to play Overpower at High settings with 60+ FPS, this combo delivers. If the goal is to max out Ultra at 4K, the data says look elsewhere. The combination ranks low because the GPU is below the median, not because the CPU is weak. Upgrading the GPU alone would move this combo up the rankings substantially, assuming the CPU can continue to keep pace.
