Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination produces a playable yet resolution-sensitive experience in Overpower. The data indicates a system where the GPU is the primary performance arbiter, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom to avoid bottlenecking at higher settings. This analysis breaks down the measured performance metrics, contextualizes the hardware against its nearest rivals, and provides actionable settings guidance based on the observed frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K clearly identifies the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER as the limiting component in this pairing. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 129 FPS at 1920x1080 to 115 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 14 FPS. The decline steepens dramatically when moving to 4K, where the Low preset yields 98 FPS. This pattern—a 24% decrease from 1080p to 4K at Low settings—indicates a workload that scales heavily with pixel count, a hallmark of GPU-bound scenarios.

The trend is even more pronounced at higher graphical presets. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 75 at 1080p to 67 at 1440p, and further to 57 at 2160p. The Ultra preset shows a similar trajectory, with averages of 62, 56, and 47 FPS across the three resolutions. The consistent degradation across all settings suggests that the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus are being saturated as resolution increases, with the GPU's compute units struggling to maintain frame rates. The data reveals that the CPU, a 6-core/12-thread Zen 3 part, is not the bottleneck; if it were, we would expect to see a plateau in FPS as resolution decreases, but the continuous climb from 4K to 1080p demonstrates that the GPU is the primary constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader context of tested configurations for Overpower, this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 2100 out of 2980 tested combos. This places it in the lower third of all tested systems, indicating that while the setup is capable of running the game, it does not deliver top-tier performance relative to the wider hardware ecosystem. The percentile data for the individual components reinforces this positioning: the CPU sits at the 85th percentile among all processors, while the GPU ranks at the 62nd percentile among all graphics cards.

The discrepancy between the CPU's high percentile and the GPU's more modest standing explains the combo's overall rank. The Ryzen 5 5600F is a strong processor, but it is paired with a graphics card that is only slightly above average in the current landscape. The GPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile with a deltaPct of -0.4, the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 at -0.5, and the AMD Radeon RX 460 at -1.5. These figures show that the RTX 2060 SUPER is competitive with these parts, but none of them are high-end performers. Consequently, the combo's rank of 2100 reflects a system that is balanced but not exceptional, with the GPU's mid-tier status dragging down the overall standing despite the CPU's above-average capability.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture and utilizes the TU106 chip manufactured on a 12 nm process. It features 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation units, with a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The card's FP32 performance is rated at 7.181 TFLOPS, and it includes 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores, though the game's utilization of these features is not directly measured in the provided data.

The GPU's memory configuration is particularly relevant to the Overpower results. With 8 GB of VRAM, the card can handle the game's textures at 1080p and 1440p without issue, but the drop to 57 FPS at 4K High settings suggests that memory capacity or bandwidth may be a limiting factor. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is substantial, yet the 4K resolution demands more data throughput, and the measured FPS decline indicates the card is working at its limits. The boost clock of 1650 MHz is modest by modern standards, and the benchmark results reflect this, with the card's Passmark G3D score of 16462 placing it at the 62nd percentile. The GPU's average benchmark score of 18093 is within a narrow margin of its nearest rivals, confirming that it is a mid-range part that performs adequately but lacks the headroom for high-refresh-rate 4K gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a comprehensive picture of the system's capabilities across three resolutions and four settings presets.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its best performance. The Low preset achieves an average of 129 FPS, which is the highest observed in any configuration. The Medium preset drops to 81 FPS, with a minimum of 69 and a maximum of 93. High settings yield 75 FPS, while Ultra is the most demanding at 62 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 67 FPS, indicating that the GPU has enough headroom at 1080p to accommodate significant graphical enhancements, though Ultra still maintains a playable frame rate.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS figures decrease across all presets. Low settings produce 115 FPS, a 14 FPS reduction from 1080p. Medium averages 72 FPS, with a minimum of 61 and a maximum of 83. High settings deliver 67 FPS, and Ultra drops to 56 FPS. The relative performance between presets remains consistent, with Low being the only preset that exceeds 100 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 61 FPS suggests that the system can maintain a stable experience at 1440p, but the Ultra preset's 56 FPS average indicates that the GPU is becoming a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the system's performance is significantly constrained. The Low preset averages 98 FPS, which is still playable, but the Medium preset drops to 61 FPS with a minimum of 52 and a maximum of 70. High settings average 57 FPS, and Ultra falls to 47 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 37 FPS, which is the largest difference observed at any resolution. This suggests that the Medium preset introduces a significant increase in graphical load that the GPU struggles to handle. The Ultra preset's 47 FPS average is below the 60 FPS target that many users consider ideal, but it remains technically playable.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The processor features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. Its memory support is DDR4 with a dual-channel bus, providing a theoretical bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In the context of Overpower, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU. The processor's Passmark single-thread score of 2872 and multithread score of 19236 indicate solid performance, but the measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor at all resolutions and settings. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see similar FPS figures across different resolutions or a plateau in performance as the GPU becomes less utilized. Instead, the FPS scales consistently with resolution, confirming that the GPU is the primary constraint.

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at -0.2, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at -0.4. These scores are all within a very narrow margin, indicating that the Ryzen 5 5600F is competitive with these parts. However, the CPU's 85th percentile ranking among all processors suggests that it has ample headroom for most gaming workloads, including Overpower. The 6-core configuration is sufficient for the game's demands, and the boost clock of 4.00 GHz provides adequate single-thread performance for handling game logic and physics.
