Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination ranks 1079 out of 1744 tested combos in Overpower, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. This position suggests the pairing is capable of running the game, but it is not optimized for maximum performance, as it sits behind a significant portion of the field. The percentile rankings for the individual components reinforce this: the CPU sits in the 79th percentile of all processors, while the GPU is in the 65th percentile of all graphics cards, indicating the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this specific configuration.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1079 out of 1744 tested pairings places it in the 38th percentile of all tested systems in Overpower. This is a modest result, indicating that while the hardware is fully capable of running the game, it does not deliver top-tier performance. The data shows a clear gap between this combo and the higher-ranked systems, which typically feature more recent or higher-end components. The CPU’s individual percentile rank of 79 is significantly better than the GPU’s 65, suggesting that the processor has more headroom relative to its peers than the graphics card does. This imbalance is a key factor in the combo’s overall standing, as the GPU is more likely to be the bottleneck in demanding gaming scenarios. The rank implies that users should expect smooth gameplay at most settings, but should not anticipate frame rates that compete with top-tier enthusiast builds.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary driver of visual performance in this combo. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is sufficient for Overpower’s textures and assets at most settings, though the 8 GB capacity may be a limiting factor at the highest resolutions and detail levels. The GPU’s base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and it contains 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The card also includes 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores, though Overpower’s reliance on these features is not specified in the data. Benchmark results show the GPU achieves a Passmark G3D score of 18169, placing it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307, which is only 0.5% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 scores 21670, 2.5% lower. This indicates the RTX 2070 SUPER is competitive with its direct peers, but it does not have a decisive performance advantage.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers an average of 143.5 FPS at Low settings, which is the highest frame rate recorded in the entire dataset. Moving to Medium settings reduces this to 89.5 FPS, High settings to 81.9 FPS, and Ultra settings to 69.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop of 73.9 FPS, or approximately 51.5% of the Low setting performance. At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds: Low settings produce 124.8 FPS, Medium 78 FPS, High 71.8 FPS, and Ultra 61.6 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 63.2 FPS, or about 50.6%. At 3840x2160, the frame rates are lower across the board: Low settings achieve 105.4 FPS, Medium 69.3 FPS, High 62.6 FPS, and Ultra 53.3 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 52.1 FPS, or approximately 49.4%.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Low settings reduces the average frame rate from 143.5 FPS to 124.8 FPS, a drop of 18.7 FPS or about 13%. At Medium settings, the drop is from 89.5 FPS to 78 FPS, a decrease of 11.5 FPS or 12.8%. High settings fall from 81.9 FPS to 71.8 FPS, a reduction of 10.1 FPS or 12.3%. Ultra settings drop from 69.6 FPS to 61.6 FPS, a decline of 8 FPS or 11.5%. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 shows a more pronounced effect. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 124.8 FPS to 105.4 FPS, a decrease of 19.4 FPS or 15.5%. Medium settings fall from 78 FPS to 69.3 FPS, a drop of 8.7 FPS or 11.2%. High settings decline from 71.8 FPS to 62.6 FPS, a reduction of 9.2 FPS or 12.8%. Ultra settings drop from 61.6 FPS to 53.3 FPS, a decrease of 8.3 FPS or 13.5%. The relatively consistent percentage drop across settings indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the increased pixel count at 4K places a heavier load on the graphics card.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. It features 32 MB of shared L3 cache and supports dual-channel DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong for its class: it achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18309 and a single-core score of 2584, along with a Passmark multithread score of 21541 and a single-thread score of 3256. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11700F, has an average score of 21957, which is only 0.9% higher, indicating the Ryzen 5 5600 is highly competitive in general workloads. In Overpower, the CPU’s performance is sufficient to avoid being a major bottleneck at most settings, as evidenced by the smooth scaling of frame rates with GPU load. However, the CPU’s 79th percentile ranking suggests it has more headroom than the GPU, meaning that in CPU-light scenarios, the graphics card will dictate performance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1920x1080, the High preset delivers an average of 81.9 FPS, which is smooth for most players, while the Ultra preset at 69.6 FPS is still playable but offers diminishing returns. The Low preset at 143.5 FPS is ideal for competitive play where maximum frame rate is prioritized over visual fidelity. At 2560x1440, the High preset yields 71.8 FPS, which is a good balance between visual quality and performance. The Medium preset at 78 FPS offers a slight frame rate advantage with a minor reduction in visual detail, making it a viable alternative. At 3840x2160, the High preset at 62.6 FPS is playable, but the Medium preset at 69.3 FPS provides a more comfortable margin. The Ultra preset at 53.3 FPS should be avoided if a consistent 60 FPS experience is desired. Overall, the data indicates that the High preset is the best all-around choice for this combo, providing a balance of visual fidelity and frame rate across all tested resolutions. For players with high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p, the Low preset is the recommended choice to maximize frame rates.
