Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data strongly favors the Low preset for this combo. At 1920x1080, Low yields an average of 72 FPS, which is the only setting that achieves a frame rate above 60 for this resolution. Medium produces 45 FPS, High produces 42 FPS, and Ultra produces 35 FPS. The gap between Low and the next tier is substantial: 27 FPS over Medium. For users prioritizing smooth gameplay, Low at 1080p is the clear recommendation.

At 2560x1440, Low delivers 64 FPS average, which remains playable, but Medium drops to 40 FPS, High to 37 FPS, and Ultra to 31 FPS. The 24 FPS difference between Low and Medium at this resolution mirrors the 1080p pattern. At 3840x2160, Low produces 54 FPS, but Medium falls to 34 FPS, High to 32 FPS, and Ultra to 26 FPS. The 20 FPS gap between Low and Medium at 4K confirms that the Low preset is the only one that keeps this system near acceptable frame rates.

The data indicates that Medium settings provide a balanced option with measured minimums of 38 FPS at 1080p, 34 FPS at 1440p, and 29 FPS at 4K. However, these minimums are below the 30 FPS threshold at 4K, making Medium a risky choice at that resolution. For the best experience, users should select Low at any resolution, but if visual quality is a priority, Medium at 1080p offers a minimum of 38 FPS and a maximum of 52 FPS, which is the most consistent Medium result in the dataset. High and Ultra settings are not recommended due to average FPS values that fall below 45 at all resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename. It operates with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The CPU has a 65 W TDP and uses the AMD Socket AM4. Its cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The processor supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel architecture and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. It also supports ECC memory and provides PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU.

The CPU’s benchmark results show a multithread score of 19236 and a single-thread score of 2872. Its floating point math score is 34548, integer math score is 59339, and data compression score is 232836. In the context of Overpower, the 5600F’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for the game’s demands, as evidenced by the 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs. However, the measured FPS data shows that the CPU is not the bottleneck. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo achieves 72 FPS, but at 3840x2160 Low, it drops to 54 FPS. This 18 FPS reduction across resolutions indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor, since the CPU workload does not scale significantly with resolution.

The Ryzen 5 5600F’s nearest rivals in CPU benchmarks include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (avgScore 36938, deltaPct 0), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (avgScore 37018, deltaPct -0.2), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (avgScore 37093, deltaPct -0.4), and the Intel Core i9-12900T (avgScore 37112, deltaPct -0.5). The 5600F’s average benchmark score of 36945 is nearly identical to these rivals, with deltas within 0.5%. This suggests that the CPU is competitive with these alternatives for Overpower, but the overall combo performance is dragged down by the GPU. The boost clock of 4.00 GHz and the 32 MB L3 cache provide adequate processing power for the game, but the measured FPS results show that the system’s ceiling is determined by the graphics solution.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 2638 out of 2980 tested combinations places it in the 11.5th percentile of all tested systems in Overpower. This is a low ranking, indicating that over 88% of tested combos perform better. The data shows that the CPU itself is not the cause of this low rank, as it sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. Instead, the GPU’s 9th percentile ranking pulls the combo down significantly.

The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482 is the only GPU benchmark available. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (score 1463, deltaPct 1.3), NVIDIA GeForce 800M (score 1460, deltaPct 1.5), NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM (score 1446, deltaPct 2.5), and NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (score 1443, deltaPct 2.7). These rivals are all older, low-end GPUs, and the Arc B390 only leads them by 1.3% to 2.7%. This places the GPU in a performance tier that is far below what Overpower requires for high frame rates, as evidenced by the measured FPS.

The combo rank of 2638 is consistent with the measured FPS data. At the most common gaming resolution of 1920x1080, the best average FPS is 72 at Low settings, which is acceptable but not exceptional. At Ultra settings, the average drops to 35 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target most players expect. The rank reflects this reality: the combo is not competitive with higher-end systems, but it is not the absolute worst either, as 342 combos rank below it. The data shows that this pairing is suitable for low-settings gaming at 1080p, but it cannot handle higher presets or higher resolutions without significant frame rate sacrifices.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, with the chip codenamed Panther Lake. It is manufactured on a 3 nm process by Intel. The GPU has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. Its memory is listed as "System Shared," meaning it uses the system’s main memory rather than dedicated VRAM, with a bus width of "System Shared" and bandwidth that is "System Dependent." The GPU features 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 24 raster operation units, and 12 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 60.00 GPixel/s, texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance is 7.680 TFLOPS. The TDP is 80 W, and it has no power connectors, as it is an IGP with a slot width of "IGP."

The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482 places it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs. This low percentile is directly reflected in the Overpower FPS data. At 3840x2160, the highest average FPS is 54 at Low settings, but this drops to 26 at Ultra. At 2560x1440, the range is 64 FPS at Low down to 31 FPS at Ultra. At 1920x1080, the range is 72 FPS at Low down to 35 FPS at Ultra. The GPU’s boost clock of 2500 MHz and 7.680 TFLOPS of FP32 performance are insufficient for high-demand settings, as the data shows that even at 1080p, Ultra settings average only 35 FPS.

The shared memory architecture is a key factor. Since the GPU uses system memory, its bandwidth is "System Dependent," which means performance can vary based on the CPU’s DDR4 memory configuration. The Ryzen 5 5600F supports dual-channel DDR4 with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth, but the GPU’s access to this memory is shared with the CPU, creating potential bottlenecks. The measured FPS data shows that this setup struggles with higher resolutions and settings, which is consistent with the GPU’s low benchmark percentile and its position relative to older NVIDIA GPUs like the GT 710 and GT 520MX. The GPU’s nearest rivals all have scores within 2.7% of the Arc B390, indicating that this is a very low-end graphics solution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are as follows: Low settings produce 72 FPS, Medium produces 45 FPS, High produces 42 FPS, and Ultra produces 35 FPS. The Medium preset has additional data points: a minimum FPS of 38 and a maximum FPS of 52. The difference between Low and Medium is 27 FPS, while the difference between Medium and High is only 3 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 7 FPS. This pattern shows that the Low preset is a significant outlier, providing a much higher frame rate than any other setting. The 35 FPS at Ultra highlights the GPU’s limitations, as even at the lowest resolution, it cannot reach 60 FPS on the highest preset.

At 2560x1440, the measured average FPS values are: 64 FPS at Low, 40 FPS at Medium, 37 FPS at High, and 31 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 34 FPS and a maximum of 46 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 24 FPS, which is similar to the 1080p gap. However, the absolute values are lower, with Ultra falling to 31 FPS, which is just above the 30 FPS threshold. The data shows that 1440p is playable only at Low settings, as Medium and above produce average FPS below 40.

At 3840x2160, the measured average FPS values are: 54 FPS at Low, 34 FPS at Medium, 32 FPS at High, and 26 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset has a minimum of 29 FPS and a maximum of 39 FPS. The Low preset is the only one that stays above 30 FPS on average, but even it drops from 72 FPS at 1080p to 54 FPS at 4K, a 25% reduction. The Ultra preset averages 26 FPS, which is below the playable threshold, and the Medium minimum of 29 FPS also falls below 30. This resolution is not recommended for this combo, as the GPU’s shared memory and low compute capacity cannot handle the pixel workload.

Across all resolutions, the Low preset provides the highest FPS, and the performance degradation from 1080p to 4K is consistent: Low drops from 72 to 54, Medium from 45 to 34, High from 42 to 32, and Ultra from 35 to 26. These measured values confirm that the combo’s sweet spot is 1080p Low, with 1440p Low being a secondary option. Higher settings and higher resolutions produce frame rates that are below 45 FPS, making them unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The data shows no min or max FPS values for Low, High, or Ultra presets, only for Medium, which provides a complete picture of the frame time variance at that setting.
