Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Overpower, with the data showing a clear transition from CPU-bound to GPU-bound behavior as resolution increases. This combination ranks in the top 16% of all tested configurations, proving that a mid-range processor can effectively support a high-end graphics card in this specific action title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates reveal a predictable yet instructive scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 224.4 FPS, which drops to 211.8 FPS at 1440p and further to 178.9 FPS at 4K. This represents a 20.3% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that even at the lowest graphical preset, the resolution increase from 1080p to 4K costs roughly one-fifth of the frame rate.

The scaling behavior changes dramatically when examining higher settings. At Ultra settings, the frame rate falls from 114.1 FPS at 1080p to 100.5 FPS at 1440p, then to 84.2 FPS at 4K — a cumulative 26.2% drop from 1080p to 4K. The High preset shows similar characteristics: 136.6 FPS at 1080p, 120.8 FPS at 1440p, and 105.4 FPS at 4K, representing a 22.8% total reduction.

The pattern becomes clearer when comparing the 1440p-to-4K transition specifically. For Low settings, moving from 1440p to 4K costs 32.9 FPS (211.8 to 178.9). For Ultra settings, the same transition costs 16.3 FPS (100.5 to 84.2). This disparity suggests that at lower settings, the system has ample headroom and the resolution scaling is more pronounced, while at Ultra settings, the GPU is already working closer to its limits, making the additional pixel count less impactful in absolute terms.

The data shows that the 1080p-to-1440p step at Low settings costs only 12.6 FPS (224.4 to 211.8), while the 1440p-to-4K step costs 32.9 FPS. This non-linear scaling indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER handles the pixel count increase from 1080p to 1440p with relative ease, but the jump to 4K places significantly more strain on the rendering pipeline.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER serves as the primary performance driver in this configuration, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for the texture and geometry demands of Overpower at 4K Ultra, where the measured 84.2 FPS remains well above playable thresholds.

Clock speeds for the GPU are listed at a base of 1980 MHz and boost up to 2475 MHz. These frequencies, combined with the Ada Lovelace architecture's 7168 shading units and 224 texture mapping units, produce a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s. The FP32 compute throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS provides the raw processing power needed for the game's particle effects and lighting calculations.

The GPU's benchmark performance places it in the 84th percentile of all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, scores 42653, representing a 0.2% difference, while the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE trails by 0.3% with a score of 42723. These margins are statistically negligible, indicating that the RTX 4070 SUPER sits in a well-populated performance tier.

The 4K High result of 105.4 FPS demonstrates that the GPU has sufficient headroom to maintain high refresh rates even at the most demanding resolution tested. However, the 4K Ultra result of 84.2 FPS shows that enabling the highest preset does incur a measurable cost, with the gap between High and Ultra at 4K being 21.2 FPS — a larger difference than the 10.4 FPS gap seen at 1080p (136.6 to 114.1).

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 281st out of 1744 tested combos in Overpower. This places the configuration in the top 16.1% of all tested pairings, a strong result that reflects the balance between the CPU's 78th percentile performance and the GPU's 84th percentile standing.

The ranking suggests that the combo outperforms a majority of tested systems, though it does not reach the top tier. The data indicates that this pairing is well-matched for Overpower's requirements, as the CPU does not appear to bottleneck the GPU in most scenarios — evidenced by the strong scaling from 1080p through 4K.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 20740 places it in close competition with several rivals. The Intel Core i7-10700 scores 20746 (a 0% difference), the Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20794 (0.3% faster), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X scores 20680 (0.3% slower). These near-identical scores suggest that the 5600GT provides comparable processing power to its direct competitors, making the GPU the differentiating factor in this combo's ranking.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the RTX 4070 SUPER paired with the 5600GT delivers a wide range of performance depending on settings. Low settings produce 224.4 FPS, Medium drops to 148.4 FPS, High yields 136.6 FPS, and Ultra settles at 114.1 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 76 FPS — a substantial 33.9% reduction — while the progression from Medium to High and High to Ultra costs 11.8 FPS and 22.5 FPS respectively.

Moving to 1440p, the same settings ladder shows 211.8 FPS at Low, 133.6 FPS at Medium, 120.8 FPS at High, and 100.5 FPS at Ultra. The Low-to-Medium gap here is 78.2 FPS, slightly larger than at 1080p, while the High-to-Ultra gap narrows to 20.3 FPS. The 1440p results demonstrate that the combo maintains playable frame rates across all presets, with even the lowest result (100.5 FPS at Ultra) comfortably exceeding 60 FPS.

At 4K, the performance envelope tightens considerably. Low settings yield 178.9 FPS, Medium produces 114 FPS, High delivers 105.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 84.2 FPS. The Low-to-Medium transition costs 64.9 FPS, while the Medium-to-High step costs 8.6 FPS and the High-to-Ultra step costs 21.2 FPS. The 4K Low result remains high enough for competitive play, while 4K Ultra's 84.2 FPS still provides a smooth experience for most users.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently offers the most balanced performance. At 1080p, Medium's 148.4 FPS represents a 51.5% improvement over Ultra's 114.1 FPS, while at 4K, Medium's 114 FPS is 35.4% faster than Ultra's 84.2 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT provides six cores and twelve threads based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename), manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. With a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost up to 4.60 GHz, the processor delivers single-thread performance that is well-suited for Overpower's game logic and physics calculations.

The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s of dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth provide adequate data throughput for feeding the GPU. Benchmark results show a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17272 and a single-core score of 2438, with Geekbench scores of 7986 multicore and 2035 single-core. The 3DMark scores range from 913 single-thread to 5554 max-threads, indicating strong scaling across thread counts.

The CPU's 78th percentile standing among all processors aligns closely with the GPU's 84th percentile, creating a balanced pairing. The passmark multithread score of 20325 and single-thread score of 3348 confirm that the 5600GT handles both multi-threaded workloads and single-thread-intensive tasks competently, which is critical for maintaining high frame rates in action games.

At 1080p Low settings, the 224.4 FPS result suggests that the CPU can drive frame rates well above 200 FPS when the GPU is not the limiting factor. The fact that 4K Low still produces 178.9 FPS indicates that even at high resolutions with low graphical demands, the CPU does not become a bottleneck — the GPU's rendering capabilities remain the primary constraint.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 224.4 FPS, which provides a significant competitive advantage in fast-paced action scenarios. The 1440p Low result of 211.8 FPS remains excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors, while 4K Low's 178.9 FPS is still far above typical display refresh rates.

The Medium preset offers the best balance between visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium's 148.4 FPS is 34.3 FPS higher than High, while at 1440p, the 133.6 FPS result keeps the experience smooth on high-refresh displays. The 4K Medium result of 114 FPS represents the most sensible choice for 4K users who want both visual fidelity and performance.

High settings provide a moderate improvement in visual quality over Medium, but the measured data shows the cost is 11.8 FPS at 1080p, 12.8 FPS at 1440p, and 8.6 FPS at 4K. These are relatively small penalties, making High a viable option for users with 120 Hz displays at 1080p or 1440p.

The Ultra preset should be reserved for users who prioritize image quality above all else. The 114.1 FPS at 1080p and 100.5 FPS at 1440p remain playable, but the 84.2 FPS at 4K approaches the threshold where some users might notice reduced smoothness. Given that High at 4K delivers 105.4 FPS — a 25.2% improvement over Ultra — the High preset appears to be the more prudent choice for 4K gaming with this combo.
