Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and AMD Radeon RX 570 pairing in Overpower lands near the bottom of the database, ranking 1677 out of 1744 tested combos. This is a legacy GPU matched with a modern mid-range CPU, and the benchmark results show a system that is playable only at lower resolutions and settings. The data indicates a hard ceiling imposed by the graphics card, with the processor rarely becoming the limiting factor.

FAQ

*Q: What is the overall ranking of this CPU and GPU combo in Overpower?*

A: This combination ranks 1677 out of 1744 tested combos in the database for Overpower, placing it in the bottom percentile of tested systems.

Q: What is the best average FPS this combo achieves?

A: The highest average frame rate recorded is 59.6 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with Low settings. The next best is 55 FPS at 2560x1440 with Low settings.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more likely to be the bottleneck based on the data?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck. The Radeon RX 570 has a 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 5600 has a 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs. More directly, FPS drops significantly with increased resolution and settings, which is a classic sign of GPU limitation.

A: The Ryzen 5 5600 has an average benchmark score of 21765. It is 0.6% ahead of the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, which scores 21635, but 0.9% behind the Intel Core i7-11700F, which scores 21957.

Q: What is the difference in FPS between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the average FPS drops from 59.6 on Low settings to 33.0 on Ultra settings. This represents a significant 26.6 FPS penalty for maxing out the visual fidelity.

Q: What is the GPU's memory configuration?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 570 features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the decisive component in this pairing, and the measured FPS data shows it struggling to keep up with the demands of Overpower. This GPU, built on the GCN 4.0 architecture and the Polaris 20 chip, is a 14 nm part with 5,700 million transistors. It operates at a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz. The 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, while adequate for older titles, proves to be a limiting factor in this 2023 action game. The memory runs at 1750 MHz (7 Gbps effective), delivering 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth over a 256-bit bus.

The synthetic benchmark data for the RX 570 shows an average score of 30158, placing it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. Interestingly, it sits very close to some modern cards, with a 0.2% lead over the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and a 0.2% lead over the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT. However, these are synthetic scores; the real-world game data tells a different story. The GPU's pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s and texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s are simply too low to maintain high frame rates in Overpower at higher presets. The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution and settings increase, performance collapses. At 4K, the average FPS drops below 28 on High and Medium settings, and to 26 on Ultra. This indicates that the GPU is completely overwhelmed, and the 4 GB VRAM buffer is likely being exhausted, causing severe performance degradation.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a Zen 3 (Vermeer) processor built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It provides 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This is a capable modern processor, as evidenced by its strong synthetic scores: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18309 and a single-core score of 2584. Its average benchmark score of 21765 places it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, and it sits in a tight pack with rivals like the AMD EPYC 9554P, from which it trails by just 0.6%.

In the context of Overpower, the CPU is not the primary constraint. The data shows that the FPS scales heavily with GPU-bound factors like resolution. For example, at 2560x1440 with Low settings, the combo achieves 55 FPS. Dropping to 1920x1080 with Low settings only improves this to 59.6 FPS. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect a much larger jump in FPS when reducing the resolution. The relatively small improvement suggests the GPU is already at its limit even at lower resolutions. The L3 cache of 32 MB (shared) and the dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide a solid foundation, but the Ryzen 5 5600 is effectively waiting for the RX 570 to deliver frames.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1677 out of 1744 combos is a stark indicator of its performance tier. It sits in the bottom 4% of all tested systems for Overpower. This is a direct consequence of pairing a modern, mid-range 6-core CPU with a 2017-era, end-of-life GPU. While the CPU is a strong performer, the GPU's age and 4 GB VRAM capacity hold the entire system back.

This ranking is not reflective of a balanced system. The data implies that the GPU is the sole limiting factor. The CPU's 79th percentile ranking and strong multi-threaded scores (e.g., 21541 in PassMark multithread) suggest it could drive a much more powerful graphics card. The measured FPS results confirm this imbalance. The system fails to hit 60 FPS at 1080p on any setting other than Low, and even then, it only just reaches 59.6 FPS. For a game released in 2023, this places the combo firmly in the "low-end" or "esports" territory, where players must sacrifice visual quality for acceptable frame rates. The data positions this setup as a legacy configuration that is no longer competitive for modern, demanding titles at high settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of this combo's capabilities across different resolutions and settings. All figures are average FPS.

At 1920x1080, the results are as follows:

• Low: 59.6 FPS
• Medium: 37.5 FPS
• High: 38.0 FPS
• Ultra: 33.0 FPS

The jump from Low to Medium is dramatic, a loss of 22.1 FPS. Interestingly, the drop from Medium to High is minimal (0.5 FPS), suggesting a specific setting within the Medium preset is the main performance killer.

At 2560x1440, the performance degrades further:

• Low: 55.0 FPS
• Medium: 33.5 FPS
• High: 31.5 FPS
• Ultra: 24.3 FPS

The gap between Low and Medium remains large at 21.5 FPS. The system can still manage a playable frame rate on Low, but anything above that falls below 34 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmed:

• Low: 49.4 FPS
• Medium: 27.8 FPS
• High: 27.9 FPS
• Ultra: 26.0 FPS

Even on Low settings, the system cannot maintain a solid 50 FPS. The performance is nearly flat between Medium, High, and Ultra, indicating that the system is heavily constrained by the GPU's compute and memory limits rather than the specific preset. The data shows that to achieve a consistent 60 FPS experience, the user would need to play at 1080p with Low settings, and even then, the average is just below that target.
