GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications directly explain the frame rates observed. The GPU runs at a base clock of 2,310 MHz and a boost clock of 2,610 MHz, with 7,680 shading units and 60 RT cores. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for Overpower's high-resolution textures and effects. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 31,624 and average benchmark score of 44,900 (85th percentile) indicate strong raw performance.

In Overpower, the GPU's influence is most visible at 4K. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 155.7 at Low settings to 90.8 at Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 64.9 FPS, showing that the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are heavily taxed by the game's higher presets. At 1080p, the same settings produce 170 FPS (Low) and 118.4 FPS (Ultra), a difference of 51.6 FPS. The GPU's ability to maintain over 90 FPS even at 4K Ultra underscores its capability, though the drop from Low to Ultra at every resolution indicates that the GPU is the primary scaling factor.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 376 out of 1,744 places it in the upper quartile of all tested systems. The CPU's 76th percentile and GPU's 85th percentile are consistent with this ranking. The CPU's average benchmark score of 18,129 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals: the Intel Core i5-11400 (18,150, deltaPct -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS (18,101, deltaPct 0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (18,158, deltaPct -0.2%). The GPU's average score of 44,900 is 0.6% below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (45,152), 1.5% below the Intel Arc A730M (45,592), and 1.6% above the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (44,195). These deltas are small, meaning the combo's performance is tightly clustered with other mid-to-high-end parts.

The rank of 376 out of 1,744 is not a top-tier position, but it reflects a balanced system that can run Overpower smoothly at all tested settings. The GPU's high percentile compensates for the CPU's more modest standing, and the measured FPS data confirms that the combination avoids severe bottlenecks.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the FACT PACK:

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 108.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 155.7 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 118.8 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 90.8 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 127.7 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 166.2 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 134.3 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 108.1 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 139.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 170 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 140.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 118.4 |

At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 51.6 FPS (170 to 118.4). At 1440p, the spread is 58.1 FPS (166.2 to 108.1). At 4K, the spread is 64.9 FPS (155.7 to 90.8). The increasing spread with resolution indicates that the GPU's workload grows disproportionately at higher settings, while the CPU's contribution remains relatively constant.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 3600 provides 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It has 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15,045 and single-core score of 2,124, along with a PassMark single-thread score of 2,562, show that it is a capable mid-range processor.

In Overpower, the CPU's role is most apparent at low settings and high frame rates. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 170 FPS, which is the highest measured value. This suggests that the CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently at lower graphical loads. At 4K Ultra, the FPS drops to 90.8, a reduction of 79.2 FPS from the 1080p Low result. The CPU's multi-thread performance (PassMark multithread 17,700) and 12 threads help maintain consistent frame delivery, but the data shows that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution and settings increase. The CPU's launch MSRP is $199.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p, High delivers 139.9 FPS, which is 21.5 FPS higher than Ultra (118.4) and only 0.5 FPS lower than Medium (140.4). At 1440p, High yields 127.7 FPS, compared to 108.1 for Ultra and 134.3 for Medium. At 4K, High produces 108.3 FPS, while Ultra drops to 90.8 and Medium reaches 118.8. High consistently stays above 100 FPS at every resolution, making it the most reliable choice for smooth gameplay.

For users who prioritize maximum frame rate, Low at 1080p provides 170 FPS, but the visual trade-off is significant. Medium at 1440p (134.3 FPS) and 4K (118.8 FPS) also offer high frame rates, but High's combination of 127.7 FPS at 1440p and 108.3 FPS at 4K is more balanced. Ultra is playable at all resolutions (90.8 FPS at 4K), but the performance cost relative to High is substantial—a 17.5 FPS drop at 4K and a 21.5 FPS drop at 1080p.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals how the system scales with resolution. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 170 at 1080p to 166.2 at 1440p and 155.7 at 4K—a modest decline of 14.3 FPS from 1080p to 4K. At Medium, the values are 140.4, 134.3, and 118.8, a drop of 21.6 FPS. At High, they are 139.9, 127.7, and 108.3, a drop of 31.6 FPS. At Ultra, they are 118.4, 108.1, and 90.8, a drop of 27.6 FPS. The largest absolute drop occurs at High (31.6 FPS), while the smallest is at Low (14.3 FPS). This pattern indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are increasingly stressed as settings rise, but even at Ultra, the 4K result of 90.8 FPS remains well above playable thresholds. The CPU's contribution is relatively stable across resolutions, as evidenced by the smaller FPS differences at Low settings, where the GPU is less burdened. Overall, the data shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is the primary scaling factor, with the Ryzen 5 3600 providing sufficient support to avoid major CPU-induced bottlenecks.
