Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination ranks 2334 out of 2980 tested combos in Overpower, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database for this specific title. This position indicates that while the combo is far from the top of the charts, it does not fall into the bottom tier of systems either. The percentile data reinforces this positioning: the CPU sits at the 85th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU sits at the 58th percentile among all tested graphics cards. This notable gap between the two components suggests that the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing, a conclusion that becomes clearer when examining the measured frame rates across different settings and resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2334 out of 2980 means this system outperforms roughly 78% of the tested configurations but is beaten by about 22% of them. In practical terms, this places the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 2060 combination in a position where it can handle Overpower at playable frame rates, but it will not be setting any records. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking among all processors shows that the Ryzen 5 5600F is a strong performer in general computing tasks, which is consistent with its position in the nearestRivals data. Its average benchmark score of 36945 is nearly identical to the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, which scores 36938 with a deltaPct of 0. It also sits just below the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, which scores 37018 with a deltaPct of -0.2, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450, which scores 37093 with a deltaPct of -0.4. The largest gap among its closest rivals is to the Intel Core i9-12900T, which scores 37112 with a deltaPct of -0.5, meaning the Ryzen 5 5600F is essentially neck-and-neck with these alternatives.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2060’s 58th percentile ranking tells a different story. Its average benchmark score of 15290 is matched almost exactly by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, which scores 15283 with a deltaPct of 0, and the AMD Radeon 680M, which scores 15270 with a deltaPct of 0.1. The RTX 2060 edges out the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, which scores 15199 with a deltaPct of 0.6, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600, which scores 15171 with a deltaPct of 0.8. These tight margins show that the RTX 2060 is positioned in a crowded mid-range segment where small score differences translate into similar real-world performance. The data indicates that this GPU is adequate for Overpower but does not have the headroom that the CPU provides.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename, fabricated on a 7 nm process by TSMC. It features 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. This configuration is typical for a mid-range desktop processor, and the benchmark data shows it handles a variety of workloads competently. In PassMark tests, it scores 19236 in multithreaded performance, 2872 in single-thread performance, and 59339 in integer math. The floating-point math score is 34548, and the extended instructions score is 16266. These figures place the CPU well above average, consistent with its 85th percentile ranking.

For Overpower, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with enough data to keep frame rates stable. The 6-core, 12-thread design with a 4.00 GHz boost clock should be sufficient for this action game, as the measured frame rates do not show signs of CPU bottlenecking. The L3 cache is 32 MB shared, which is generous for a processor in this class and helps with game-level data access. The memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is adequate for the RTX 2060’s demands. The CPU’s benchmark scores in data compression (232836) and random string sorting (23422) suggest strong integer performance, which is often relevant in game logic and physics calculations. The nearestRivals data shows the 5600F is essentially tied with several other mid-range options, so there is no significant CPU advantage or disadvantage compared to those alternatives.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 uses the TU106 chip on the Turing architecture, fabricated on a 12 nm process by TSMC. It has 1920 shading units, 120 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units, along with 30 ray tracing cores and 240 tensor cores. The base clock is 1365 MHz with a boost clock of 1680 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective speed. The 6 GB of GDDR6 memory operates on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s. These specifications are modest by modern standards, and the GPU’s 58th percentile ranking reflects that.

In Overpower, the RTX 2060’s 6 GB VRAM capacity is the most critical specification. The measured frame rates show that at 4K resolution, the GPU struggles to maintain high settings, which is consistent with a card that has limited memory and bandwidth. The pixel rate is 80.64 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 201.6 GTexel/s, giving the card a theoretical fill rate that is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but insufficient for demanding 4K scenarios. The FP32 performance is 6.451 TFLOPS, which is a reasonable figure for a mid-range card from its generation. The nearestRivals data shows the RTX 2060 is virtually tied with the GTX 580 and Radeon 680M, meaning its raw compute power is comparable to those older or integrated solutions, which puts its gaming performance into perspective.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 118 FPS on average. Moving to 1440p with the same settings drops the average to 105 FPS, a reduction of 13 FPS. At 4K with Low settings, the average falls further to 89 FPS. This progression indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the CPU’s performance is consistent across these resolutions. Looking at High settings, the average FPS goes from 68 at 1080p to 61 at 1440p to 52 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings is 16 FPS, which is a 23.5% reduction. At Medium settings, the averages are 74 FPS at 1080p, 66 FPS at 1440p, and 56 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K at Medium is 18 FPS, a 24.3% reduction. At Ultra settings, the averages are 57 FPS at 1080p, 51 FPS at 1440p, and 43 FPS at 4K, representing a 14 FPS drop from 1080p to 4K.

The fact that the FPS drops are relatively consistent across settings when moving from 1080p to 4K suggests that the GPU is being pushed harder at higher resolutions, and its 6 GB VRAM and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting. The CPU’s 85th percentile ranking and strong benchmark scores indicate it can keep up with the GPU’s demands even at 4K, as the frame rates do not collapse unexpectedly. The data does not show any resolution where the CPU becomes a bottleneck, as the FPS scaling is smooth and predictable. This behavior is typical for a pairing where the GPU is the weaker component, and the RTX 2060’s 58th percentile ranking supports this interpretation.

At 1920x1080, the Medium setting provides an average of 74 FPS with a minimum of 63 and maximum of 85, which is a solid balance between visual quality and smoothness. The High setting at 1080p yields 68 FPS on average, which is also playable, but the Medium setting offers a more comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The Low setting at 1080p reaches 118 FPS on average, which is excellent for competitive play, but the visual quality is reduced. The Ultra setting at 1080p drops to 57 FPS on average, which is below the 60 FPS target and may result in noticeable stutter in action sequences.

At 2560x1440, the Medium setting delivers an average of 66 FPS with a minimum of 56 and maximum of 76, which is the recommended choice for this resolution. The High setting at 1440p averages 61 FPS, which is close to the Medium option but offers slightly better visuals. The Low setting at 1440p averages 105 FPS, providing a high frame rate experience for those who prioritize performance. The Ultra setting at 1440p averages 51 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced action. At 3840x2160, the Low setting is the only option that provides a comfortable frame rate, averaging 89 FPS. The Medium setting at 4K averages 56 FPS with a minimum of 47 and maximum of 64, which is borderline playable. The High setting at 4K averages 52 FPS, and the Ultra setting averages 43 FPS, both of which are below the 60 FPS target and likely to result in a less smooth experience.
