The GPU's role in Overpower becomes evident when examining the measured FPS data. At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 63.2 FPS, suggesting that the GPU is being pushed hard at the highest settings. The 12 GB VRAM buffer is likely sufficient for this game's textures, as the frame rate scales consistently with resolution changes. The 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth helps maintain throughput at higher resolutions, where memory bandwidth often becomes a limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the combo achieves 179.7 FPS at 1080p, 157 FPS at 1440p, and 132.8 FPS at 4K. This represents a drop of 12.6% from 1080p to 1440p and a further 15.4% drop from 1440p to 4K. The overall drop from 1080p Low to 4K Low is 26.1%.

At Medium settings, the FPS values are 109.1 (1080p), 100 (1440p), and 86.9 (4K). The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 8.3%, and from 1440p to 4K is 13.1%, for a total drop of 20.3%. High settings show 101.5 FPS at 1080p, 92.7 at 1440p, and 79 at 4K, representing drops of 8.7% and 14.8% respectively, for a total of 22.2%.

Ultra settings show the largest absolute drop: 87.5 FPS at 1080p, 79.1 at 1440p, and 63.2 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 9.6%, and from 1440p to 4K is 20.1%, for a total of 27.8%. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, particularly at Ultra settings. The CPU's performance headroom, demonstrated by the high FPS at 1080p Low (179.7 FPS), suggests it is not constraining the system in this game. The scaling behavior is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario, where pixel count and shading complexity drive the frame rate.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset at 1440p offers the most balanced experience. At this setting, the combo achieves 100 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, while still providing a visual upgrade over Low settings. At 1080p, Medium also performs admirably at 109.1 FPS, making it a strong choice for competitive play where higher frame rates are prioritized.

For users with 4K displays, the Low preset at 132.8 FPS is the only setting that maintains triple-digit frame rates. High at 4K drops to 79 FPS, which is still playable but may feel less responsive in fast-paced action sequences. Ultra at 4K falls to 63.2 FPS, which is near the playability threshold but may introduce noticeable dips during intense scenes.

Given the data, the Medium preset at 1440p provides the best combination of visual fidelity and performance, offering a 27.3% higher frame rate than High at the same resolution (100 vs 92.7). At 1080p, Medium also outperforms High by 7.5% (109.1 vs 101.5), making it a superior choice for users who prioritize frame rate over maximum visual quality. The Low preset is recommended only for users seeking the absolute highest frame rates, as it sacrifices significant visual quality for a 64.7% improvement over Medium at 1080p (179.7 vs 109.1).

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The largest performance gap between consecutive settings occurs at 1080p between Low and Medium, where the frame rate drops by 70.6 FPS (39.3%). At 4K, the gap between Low and Medium is 45.9 FPS (34.6%), while the gap between High and Ultra is 15.8 FPS (20%). These figures indicate that the Low preset is dramatically faster than all other presets, while the differences between Medium, High, and Ultra are more moderate.

Across all resolutions, the Ultra preset delivers the lowest frame rates, with the 4K Ultra result of 63.2 FPS being the minimum in the dataset. The 1080p Low result of 179.7 FPS is the maximum. The data shows a consistent trend: each step up in settings costs roughly 10-20% performance, with the Low-to-Medium step being the most expensive in relative terms. This suggests that users should carefully consider whether the visual improvements of Medium over Low are worth the significant frame rate reduction.
