Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER pairing delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Overpower, but struggles to maintain smooth frame rates at 4K with higher settings. This combination ranks in the 70th percentile of tested hardware configurations, indicating a balanced setup where neither component becomes a consistent bottleneck across the board.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Overpower?

A: The data shows the strongest performance at 1920x1080, where the average FPS ranges from 60.1 at Ultra settings to 131.3 at Low settings. At 2560x1440, the range drops to 52.5–117.5 FPS, while 3840x2160 yields only 45.9–100.9 FPS depending on settings.

Q: Can this setup handle Ultra settings in Overpower?

A: Yes, but only at 1080p with acceptable smoothness. At 1920x1080 Ultra, the measured average is 60.1 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 Ultra drops to 52.5 FPS, and 3840x2160 Ultra falls to 45.9 FPS, which may feel less fluid for fast-paced action.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 5500 compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 5500 has an average benchmark score of 20875, placing it within 0.2% of the Intel Core i5-12500 (20897, -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE (20900, -0.1%), and Intel Core i5-12600T (20917, -0.2%). It also edges out the AMD EPYC 7J13 (20845, 0.1%).

Q: What is the GPU's performance position relative to similar cards?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER scores 19774 on average, sitting 0.3% above the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (19706) and 0.5% above the RTX 2070 (19680). It trails the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 (19623) by 0.8% and the NVIDIA Tesla K40m (19519) by 1.3%.

Q: Is 8 GB of VRAM sufficient for Overpower?

A: The benchmark results indicate yes, as the 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth supports frame rates up to 131.3 FPS at 1080p Low. The memory configuration appears adequate for the tested resolutions and settings.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: The pairing ranks 1222nd out of 1744 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. This suggests it outperforms roughly 30% of tested systems but falls behind many higher-end configurations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU106 chip manufactured on a 12 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz, paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. The memory runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Overpower, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average FPS drops to 45.9, indicating the graphics card is the limiting factor. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs handle the pixel workload, but the 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 performance is stretched thin at 4K. Even at 2560x1440 Ultra, the 52.5 FPS average suggests the GPU is working near its capacity.

The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs reflects its mid-range position. The measured results show that at 1080p, the RTX 2060 SUPER provides headroom for higher settings, but at 4K, users must drop to Low settings to achieve 100.9 FPS. The 0.5% lead over the RTX 2070 in synthetic benchmarks translates to a modest real-world advantage in this game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 2060 SUPER achieves a rank of 1222 out of 1744 tested combos in Overpower. This position places it in the 70th percentile of all configurations, meaning roughly 522 tested combos perform worse. The ranking reflects a system that can deliver playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p but falls behind in 4K scenarios.

The CPU's 79th percentile ranking among all processors is notably higher than the GPU's 63rd percentile. This discrepancy indicates the graphics card is more likely to be the performance ceiling in this pairing. The Ryzen 5 5500's nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12500, scores nearly identically, but the GPU's closest competitors like the GTX TITAN and RTX 2070 are similarly matched, reinforcing the balanced nature of this setup.

The combo's mid-pack ranking suggests it is neither a high-end enthusiast build nor a budget compromise. For Overpower specifically, the data shows this system excels at 1080p, where it can push beyond 130 FPS on Low settings, but the 4K Ultra result of 45.9 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold many players prefer.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 2060 SUPER delivers an average of 75.4 FPS on High settings, 84 FPS on Medium, 131.3 FPS on Low, and 60.1 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show a clear scaling pattern: dropping from Ultra to Low nearly doubles the frame rate, indicating that settings have a significant impact on performance at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages become 69.5 FPS on High, 72 FPS on Medium, 117.5 FPS on Low, and 52.5 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Medium and High narrows to just 2.5 FPS, suggesting that at 1440p, the GPU is beginning to equalize those settings' demands. The Low setting still provides a substantial boost, with 117.5 FPS being the only result above 100 FPS at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops more steeply: 55.8 FPS on High, 61.1 FPS on Medium, 100.9 FPS on Low, and 45.9 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Low result remains playable, but every other setting falls below 62 FPS. The difference between 1080p Ultra and 4K Ultra is 14.2 FPS, a 23.6% reduction, while the same resolution change on Low settings drops from 131.3 to 100.9 FPS, a 23.1% reduction.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K follows a consistent pattern across settings. At Ultra, the average falls from 60.1 FPS at 1080p to 52.5 FPS at 1440p, then to 45.9 FPS at 4K—a total reduction of 23.6% from the starting point. On Low settings, the decline is steeper in absolute terms: 131.3 FPS at 1080p, 117.5 FPS at 1440p, and 100.9 FPS at 4K, representing a 23.1% drop.

This scaling behavior indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 448.0 GB/s bandwidth and 7.181 TFLOPS compute capacity are insufficient to maintain 60+ FPS at 4K on anything above Low settings. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, since the pixel workload grows faster than the draw-call overhead.

The data shows that the gap between 1440p and 4K is smaller than the gap between 1080p and 1440p in percentage terms. For example, on High settings, the drop from 1080p (75.4 FPS) to 1440p (69.5 FPS) is 7.8%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K (55.8 FPS) is 19.7%. This suggests the GPU's memory bandwidth becomes more critical at 4K, where the 256-bit bus and 8 GB capacity are pushed harder.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 brings 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. This CPU scores 16429 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2319 in single-core tests, placing it in the 79th percentile of all processors. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12500, scores 20897 on average, just 0.1% higher.

In Overpower, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the 131.3 FPS result suggests the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently, with the 16 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support providing adequate bandwidth. The Ryzen 5 5500's 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is sufficient for this game's demands.

However, the CPU's influence wanes as resolution increases. At 4K Ultra, the 45.9 FPS result is clearly GPU-bound, as the CPU has ample headroom to process game logic and physics. The 12 threads handle multi-threaded workloads well, but Overpower appears to scale more with GPU performance. The CPU's 65W TDP and AM4 socket compatibility make it a reasonable pairing, though the data shows the GPU is the more critical component for achieving higher frame rates in this title.
