GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary driver of frame rate in Overpower, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. Its Turing architecture features 2560 shading units and 40 RT cores, with a boost clock of 1770 MHz. The GPU is equipped with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is critical for feeding the shaders at 4K, where texture and geometry data demands are highest.

The benchmark data shows the GPU's raw compute capabilities: a Passmark G3D score of 18169 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1651. This places the GPU in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307, which is only 0.5% higher, making the 2070 SUPER statistically equivalent. The RTX 2070 SUPER also holds a 2.5% advantage over the AMD Radeon RX 5700 in average benchmark score.

In practice, the GPU's performance scaling across presets reveals its limits. At 3840x2160, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is stark, with average FPS dropping from 110.3 to 49.5. This indicates that the GPU is the bottleneck at the highest settings, where the 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is fully saturated. The 14 Gbps effective memory speed helps maintain playable frame rates at High settings in 4K (61.9 FPS), but the Ultra preset demands more than the 8 GB frame buffer and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth can efficiently deliver.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 provides the processing foundation for this combo, with 6 cores and 12 threads running at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 3.90 GHz. Its Zen architecture, built on a 12 nm process, includes 16 MB of shared L3 cache. In synthetic workloads, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11186 and a single-core score of 1579, showing a balanced capability for both threaded and single-threaded tasks.

The CPU's performance percentile is 77, which is notably higher than the GPU's 65th percentile. This suggests that, in general computing tasks, the Ryzen 5 2600 is relatively stronger than the RTX 2070 SUPER is among GPUs. The closest rival in the CPU benchmark database is the Intel Core i5-1345U, which scores just 0.4% higher on average. The data shows the Ryzen 5 2600 also trails the Intel Core i5-11600KF by 0.6% but leads the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U by 0.6%.

For Overpower, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, given the FPS scaling patterns. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 142.5 FPS, which is unlikely to be CPU-bound. However, the 12 threads ensure that background tasks and game logic do not starve the GPU of frames. The 46.9 GB/s memory bandwidth of the dual-channel DDR4 controller is sufficient for this configuration, preventing a memory bottleneck that could diminish the GPU's performance in CPU-intensive scenes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 142.5 FPS on Low, 91.3 on Medium, 81.9 on High, and 69.3 on Ultra. The progression from Medium to Ultra shows a 24% drop in frame rate, indicating that the GPU begins to struggle with the highest settings even at 1080p.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS figures are 126 on Low, 77.8 on Medium, 72.9 on High, and 60.3 on Ultra. The 1440p results show a tighter spread between Medium and High (a difference of only 4.9 FPS), suggesting that the settings presets have diminishing returns at this resolution. The Ultra preset maintains a playable 60.3 FPS average, which is a key metric for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably. The Low preset yields 110.3 FPS, which drops to 68.6 on Medium, 61.9 on High, and 49.5 on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is below the 60 FPS threshold, making it unsuitable for competitive play. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 60.8 FPS, more than double the gap at 1080p (73.2 FPS difference). This scaling demonstrates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are the limiting factor at 4K, with the CPU playing a less significant role.

How This Combo Ranks

In the specific context of Overpower, this combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1073 out of 1744 tested combos. This places it in the lower-middle tier of the database, which correlates with the GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs. The CPU's higher percentile (77) does not boost the combo's rank significantly, implying that Overpower is primarily GPU-bound.

The rank of 1073 suggests that a substantial number of combinations outperform this setup in this game. Given the GPU's benchmark scores, the RTX 2070 SUPER is roughly on par with the NVIDIA RTX A400 and slightly ahead of the GTX TITAN Z, but it lags behind newer mobile parts like the RTX 4060 Mobile by 2.3%. The CPU's rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-10700F, provide similar processing power, but the combination's overall position is determined by the GPU's ability to render frames.

The measured data supports this ranking: at 1080p Ultra, the combo achieves 69.3 FPS, which is playable but not exceptional. At 4K Ultra, the 49.5 FPS result is below the standard for smooth gameplay, and this weakness is reflected in the combo's rank relative to others that may hold higher GPU percentiles.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1920x1080, the High preset at 81.9 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, as it stays well above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 69.3 FPS is also viable for players who prioritize visuals, but the 15% reduction from High may not justify the visual uplift.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 72.9 FPS, which is the recommended choice for a smooth experience. The Medium preset at 77.8 FPS offers a slightly higher frame rate, but the visual downgrade is noticeable. The Ultra preset at 60.3 FPS is borderline; it meets the 60 FPS minimum but leaves no headroom for demanding scenes.

For 3840x2160, the data suggests that the High preset at 61.9 FPS is the only viable option for consistent 60 FPS gameplay. The Medium preset at 68.6 FPS provides a safer margin, but the Low preset at 110.3 FPS is the only way to achieve a high refresh rate experience at 4K, albeit with significant visual compromises. The Ultra preset at 49.5 FPS should be avoided for action gameplay, as the frame rate dips below the playable threshold.

In summary, this combo performs best at 1080p and 1440p with High settings, where it delivers smooth frame rates. At 4K, users should stick to High settings or lower to maintain playability, recognizing that the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB of VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for this game at 4K High, but not for Ultra.
