Overpower

# Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data for Overpower reveals a clear pattern: as resolution increases, average frame rates drop consistently across all settings presets. At Low settings, the combo delivers 225.2 FPS at 1920x1080, which falls to 215.2 FPS at 2560x1440, and further to 205.8 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a modest 8.6% performance decline from 1080p to 4K — a relatively small penalty that indicates the GPU is not being pushed to its limits at lower resolutions.

The story becomes more revealing at higher presets. With High settings, the drop from 154.7 FPS at 1080p to 140.7 FPS at 1440p to 117.6 FPS at 4K shows a steeper 24% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Ultra settings, the decline is even more pronounced: 132.1 FPS at 1080p, 115.4 FPS at 1440p, and 99 FPS at 4K — a 25% drop across the resolution spectrum. Medium settings show a similar trend, moving from 165.4 FPS at 1080p to 151 FPS at 1440p to 126.3 FPS at 4K.

The fact that Low settings produce over 200 FPS at every resolution suggests that the CPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with 6 cores and 12 threads, becomes an increasingly significant factor as the GPU load decreases. At Low settings, the GPU is not the bottleneck; the processor's single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3dmark_single_thread score of 917 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2622, likely limits the frame rate. The relatively small FPS gap between 1080p and 4K at Low settings — only 19.4 FPS — reinforces this interpretation.

The data implies that Overpower is not heavily GPU-bound at lower presets. The RTX 4080 SUPER, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth, has ample headroom. The scaling pattern suggests that players targeting high refresh rates at 1080p or 1440p will find the CPU to be the limiting component, while 4K gaming at High or Ultra settings shifts the balance toward the GPU. The 4K Ultra result of 99 FPS, while still smooth, shows the first signs of the GPU being meaningfully taxed.

# Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Benchmark results indicate that the choice of settings preset significantly shapes the overall experience, and the optimal choice depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers 225.2 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play on high-refresh monitors. However, the jump from Low to Medium costs 59.8 FPS (a 26.6% reduction), while the jump from Medium to High costs another 10.7 FPS, and High to Ultra drops a further 22.6 FPS. The data suggests that Medium at 165.4 FPS offers a strong balance between visual quality and frame rate at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low produces 215.2 FPS, Medium drops to 151 FPS, High to 140.7 FPS, and Ultra to 115.4 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is only 10.3 FPS, making High a compelling choice for 1440p users who want improved visuals without sacrificing much performance. Ultra's 115.4 FPS is still above 100, so it remains viable, but the 25.3 FPS penalty over High may not be justified unless visual fidelity is the top priority.

At 3840x2160, the recommendations change further. Low yields 205.8 FPS, Medium 126.3 FPS, High 117.6 FPS, and Ultra 99 FPS. The difference between Medium and High is just 8.7 FPS, while Ultra crosses below the 100 FPS threshold. For 4K, High appears to be the sweet spot: it maintains 117.6 FPS, which is smooth for most displays, while offering significantly better visuals than Medium. Ultra should only be considered if the display supports variable refresh rates, as the 99 FPS average is still playable but leaves less margin for frame time spikes.

Across all resolutions, the data shows that Low settings are disproportionately fast relative to Medium — the 4K Low result of 205.8 FPS is 63% higher than 4K Medium's 126.3 FPS. This suggests that the Low preset removes substantial rendering workloads. For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, Low is the clear winner. For those wanting a balance, High at 1440p or 4K delivers the most consistent experience per the measured rows.

# GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER brings substantial resources to Overpower: 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's boost clock of 2550 MHz and base clock of 2295 MHz, combined with 10240 shading units, deliver a theoretical FP32 performance of 52.22 TFLOPS. These specifications align with the measured frame rates, which remain above 99 FPS even at 4K Ultra.

The memory subsystem appears more than adequate for this game. Overpower's measured results show no signs of VRAM capacity strain; the 16 GB pool is unlikely to be fully utilized at any of the tested resolutions. The bandwidth figure of 736.3 GB/s is particularly relevant at 4K, where the 117.6 FPS High result and 99 FPS Ultra result demonstrate that the memory interface can feed the rendering pipeline without becoming a constraint. If VRAM bandwidth were limiting, the scaling from 1440p to 4K would be steeper than the observed 16-17% drops at High and Ultra settings.

The GPU's 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are part of the Ada Lovelace architecture, though the benchmark data does not indicate whether Overpower uses ray tracing. The measured FPS figures may reflect rasterized rendering only, or they may include ray-traced effects. Regardless, the RTX 4080 SUPER's percentile rank of 88 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53610, places it in the upper tier. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores 53489 with a deltaPct of 0.2% — a statistical tie. The RTX 4080 SUPER edges ahead of the Radeon Pro W6600M by 0.4% and leads the RX 7700S by 2.1%.

The pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s explain the GPU's ability to maintain high frame rates at 4K. The 112 ROPs and 320 TMUs handle the fill-rate demands of Overpower's action sequences. The data suggests that the GPU is rarely the primary bottleneck in this combo, except perhaps at 4K Ultra where the 99 FPS result approaches the limits of what the rendering workload demands.

# CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 (Vermeer) architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz boosts to 4.60 GHz, and it carries 32 MB of L3 cache. The processor's performance profile, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18578 and single-core score of 2622, indicates strong per-thread capability that matters for gaming.

The measured FPS data shows that the CPU's influence becomes most apparent at Low settings across all resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 225.2 FPS; at 1440p Low, 215.2 FPS; and at 4K Low, 205.8 FPS. The consistency of these results — all above 200 FPS — suggests that the CPU is delivering frame rates near its practical ceiling for this game. The Ryzen 5 5600X's single-thread performance, reflected in its 3dmark_single_thread score of 917 and PassMark single-thread score of 3364, appears to be the limiting factor at these settings.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its positioning. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT scores 20740 (0.3% lower), the Intel Core i7-10700 scores 20746 (0.3% lower), and the Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20794 (0.5% lower). The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20538, which is 0.7% lower. These deltas are minimal, meaning the 5600X sits in a tightly contested performance band. For Overpower, this means that swapping to a rival CPU would likely produce similar frame rates, assuming the GPU remains constant.

The processor's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Overpower's demands, as evidenced by the high frame rates at all settings. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 5582 and max threads score of 5588 suggest that the CPU's multithreaded performance scales well, but the game appears to favor single-thread speed given the relatively small FPS differences between Low and Medium at each resolution. The CPU's 65 W TDP and DDR4 memory support, with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, are adequate for this workload. The data implies that players pairing this CPU with the RTX 4080 SUPER should not expect the processor to hold back the GPU at 4K, but at 1080p, the CPU becomes the primary limiting component.

# Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers the following average FPS: Low settings produce 225.2 FPS, Medium settings produce 165.4 FPS, High settings produce 154.7 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 132.1 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 41.3% reduction from the maximum.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low at 215.2 FPS, Medium at 151 FPS, High at 140.7 FPS, and Ultra at 115.4 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 46.4%, which is steeper than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low at 205.8 FPS, Medium at 126.3 FPS, High at 117.6 FPS, and Ultra at 99 FPS. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 51.9%, the largest percentage drop among all resolutions.

Comparing across resolutions for each setting, Low shows a 8.6% decrease from 1080p to 4K (225.2 to 205.8). Medium shows a 23.6% decrease (165.4 to 126.3). High shows a 24% decrease (154.7 to 117.6). Ultra shows a 25.1% decrease (132.1 to 99). The pattern is clear: higher settings create greater resolution sensitivity.

The data also reveals interesting internal relationships. At 1080p, the gap between Medium and High is 10.7 FPS, while at 4K it narrows to 8.7 FPS. Conversely, the gap between Medium and Low grows from 59.8 FPS at 1080p to 79.5 FPS at 4K. These shifts indicate that Low settings reduce GPU load enough that the CPU becomes the consistent factor, while at Medium and above, the GPU workload scales more predictably with resolution.

# How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 126th out of 1744 tested combos in Overpower. This places it in the top 7.2% of all tested configurations, a strong result given the hardware pairing. The rank reflects the measured FPS data across all resolutions and settings, which consistently shows high performance.

The ranking can be interpreted in context: the RTX 4080 SUPER's GPU percentile of 88 means it outperforms 88% of all GPUs in the database, while the Ryzen 5 5600X's CPU percentile of 78 indicates it beats 78% of all processors. The combo's overall rank of 126 out of 1744 suggests that the pairing works synergistically in Overpower, with the GPU's strength compensating for the CPU's mid-range positioning.

The nearest GPU rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, scores within 0.2% of the RTX 4080 SUPER in average benchmarks. If a system paired the 5600X with that GPU instead, the in-game rank would likely be very similar, given the tiny performance delta. Conversely, the CPU's nearest rivals — the Ryzen 5 5600GT at -0.3%, Core i7-10700 at -0.3%, and Core i5-12490F at -0.5% — would also produce nearly identical results if swapped into this build.

The rank of 126 implies that there are 125 combos that perform better in Overpower, likely featuring higher-end CPUs (more cores, newer architectures) or top-tier GPUs. However, the measured data shows that this combo maintains over 99 FPS at 4K Ultra, which is a demanding scenario. The ranking reflects not just peak performance but consistency across settings, and this combo delivers high frame rates even in the most taxing configurations. For players considering this build, the data indicates that the 5600X does not meaningfully bottleneck the RTX 4080 SUPER in Overpower, except at Low settings where the CPU's single-thread speed caps performance around 205-225 FPS.
