Overpower

Overpower, an Action game released on 2023-08-14, is measured with the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650. The data shows a pairing that reaches 59.9 FPS only at 1920x1080 on Low settings, while the slowest measured row is 3840x2160 Ultra at 21.3 FPS. The combo ranks 1697 out of 1744 tested combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS declines steadily as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo averages 59.9 FPS. At 2560x1440 Low, that drops to 55.6, and at 3840x2160 Low it falls to 45.6. The Medium preset follows the same path: 39.8 at 1920x1080, 36.7 at 2560x1440, and 30.3 at 3840x2160. High moves from 35.1 to 34.1 to 24.7, while Ultra moves from 29.9 to 24.5 to 21.3 across the same three resolutions.

This pattern points to the GPU as the limiting component. If the CPU were the main constraint, raising the resolution would add GPU work but would not reduce FPS so consistently across every preset. The GTX 1650's memory interface is a plausible reason: 4 GB GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus with 128.1 GB/s bandwidth. Settings also matter heavily: 3840x2160 Low at 45.6 FPS is faster than 2560x1440 Ultra at 24.5 FPS.

FAQ

Q: How does this combo rank in Overpower?

A: The combo rank in Overpower is 1697 out of 1744 tested combos. The CPU sits in the 76th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 43rd percentile of all GPUs.

Q: What are the CPU's nearest rivals?

A: Intel Core i5-11400 has avgScore 18150 and deltaPct -0.1. AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS has avgScore 18101 and deltaPct 0.2. AMD Ryzen 5 1600 has avgScore 18158 and deltaPct -0.2. AMD EPYC 9274F has avgScore 18189 and deltaPct -0.3.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 belongs to the 3000 series and the Zen 2 (Matisse) generation, built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The cache layout is 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB shared L3. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel mode, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and uses AMD Socket AM4. The CPU has a 65 W TDP.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3600 scores 4605 in 3DMark with 16 threads, 3844 with 8 threads, 2579 with 4 threads, 1361 with 2 threads, and 696 with one thread. Cinebench R23 multi-core gives 15045, and single-core gives 2124. Passmark multithread is 17700, while single-thread is 2562. These results put the CPU in the 76th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 18129.

Its nearest rivals are close. Intel Core i5-11400 has deltaPct -0.1, AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS has deltaPct 0.2, AMD Ryzen 5 1600 has deltaPct -0.2, and AMD EPYC 9274F has deltaPct -0.3. The CPU is therefore effectively in the same performance class as these parts.

In Overpower, the CPU's role can be inferred from the resolution scaling data. The highest FPS value, 59.9, occurs at 1920x1080 Low, and the same CPU supports 55.6 FPS at 2560x1440 Low. Because FPS falls as resolution climbs, the CPU is not preventing the GPU from being the limiting factor. The 6-core/12-thread layout plus 4.20 GHz boost is sufficient to push the GTX 1650 to its measured averages in this game.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS table, 1920x1080 Low is the only row that reaches 59.9 FPS. If smoothness is the priority, that is the recommended measured preset. For a higher resolution while keeping FPS in the 50s, 2560x1440 Low at 55.6 FPS is the next best row.

Among Medium presets, 1920x1080 Medium at 39.8 FPS outruns 2560x1440 Medium at 36.7 and 3840x2160 Medium at 30.3. Among High presets, 1920x1080 High at 35.1 FPS is stronger than 2560x1440 High at 34.1 and 3840x2160 High at 24.7. The Ultra preset is only viable at 1920x1080, where it averages 29.9 FPS; 2560x1440 Ultra and 3840x2160 Ultra produce 24.5 and 21.3 FPS respectively. The measured data therefore supports 1920x1080 Low for maximum frame rate, with 2560x1440 Low as the fastest scaled alternative.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in Overpower is 1697 out of 1744 tested combos, placing this pairing near the bottom of the tested field. The CPU is in the 76th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 43rd percentile of all GPUs. That split explains the low placement better than the CPU alone: the Ryzen 5 3600's average benchmark score is 18129, but the GTX 1650's average benchmark score is only 8713.

The GPU's nearest rivals also show the graphics card's positioning. The RTX 3050 A Mobile has avgScore 8746 with deltaPct -0.4, the Radeon 550X has avgScore 8749 with deltaPct -0.4, the Quadro P2200 has avgScore 8671 with deltaPct 0.5, and the Radeon Pro WX 5100 has avgScore 8761 with deltaPct -0.5. The graphics card sits below-average in the database, and the combination inherits that limitation. The measured FPS, which never exceeds 59.9, is consistent with a GPU-limited pairing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is a GeForce 10-series part with generation listed as GeForce 16. It uses the Turing architecture and the TU117 chip, built on TSMC's 12 nm process. The GPU has a base clock of 1485 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz. Its memory clock is 2001 MHz, with 8 Gbps effective. The card includes 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. Its 4 GB GDDR5 memory runs on a 128-bit bus and delivers 128.1 GB/s bandwidth. FP32 throughput is 2.984 TFLOPS. The card uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and has a 75 W TDP with no power connectors.

In database benchmarks, the GTX 1650 scores 7880 in Passmark G3D, 3048 in Passmark GPU compute, 39112 in Geekbench OpenCL, 35966 in Geekbench Vulkan, and 305 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. It is in the 43rd percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 8713. Its nearest rivals are close: the RTX 3050 A Mobile at 8746 with deltaPct -0.4, the Radeon 550X at 8749 with deltaPct -0.4, the Quadro P2200 at 8671 with deltaPct 0.5, and the Radeon Pro WX 5100 at 8761 with deltaPct -0.5.

In Overpower, the GPU's memory characteristics align with the measured results. At 1920x1080 Low, the combination reaches 59.9 FPS, but Medium drops to 39.8, High to 35.1, and Ultra to 29.9. At 3840x2160, Low averages 45.6, Medium 30.3, High 24.7, and Ultra 21.3. The 4 GB VRAM and 128.1 GB/s bandwidth are the most likely limit at the higher resolutions, because the FPS table shows the card's throughput scaling with resolution rather than the CPU's multithreaded capacity.
