The pixel rate is 288.0 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 648.0 GTexel/s, which are substantial figures that directly contribute to the frame rates observed in the measured FPS data. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 48477, placing it in the 85th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A1000 Mobile, scores 47743, which is 1.5% lower, while the Intel Arc A550M scores 49737, 2.5% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 both score higher at 49957 and 50001 respectively, each about 3% above the RX 6800 XT. These deltas are small, indicating that the GPU is competitive with modern mid-to-high-end offerings in synthetic tests.

The GPU’s role in Overpower becomes clearer when examining the measured FPS at different settings. At 1080p Low, the combo hits an average of 197 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure. As settings increase to Medium, High, and Ultra at the same resolution, the averages drop to 123, 114, and 95 FPS respectively. This scaling pattern shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance changes when moving from Low to Ultra, as the CPU has ample headroom at these frame rates. The 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient for Overpower’s textures, and the 512.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that even the Ultra preset does not cause memory-related bottlenecks, as evidenced by the consistent frame delivery across resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear trend in how the combo scales from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 197, which drops to 175 at 1440p Low, a reduction of 22 FPS or roughly 11%. Moving to 4K Low, the average falls further to 149 FPS, another 26 FPS drop from 1440p. This pattern indicates that at Low settings, the system is still partially CPU-limited at 1080p, as the GPU has enough headroom to push beyond 200 FPS but is constrained by the processor’s ability to feed frames. The Ryzen 5 7400F’s boost clock of 4.70 GHz and 6 cores with 12 threads provide adequate single-thread performance, but the gap between 1080p and 1440p suggests diminishing returns as resolution increases.

For Medium settings, the averages are 123 FPS at 1080p, 110 FPS at 1440p, and 93 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 10.6% from 1080p to 1440p and 15.5% from 1440p to 4K. This shows a more balanced load distribution, where both the CPU and GPU are working harder. High settings follow a similar trajectory: 114 FPS at 1080p, 102 FPS at 1440p, and 86 FPS at 4K, with drops of 10.5% and 15.7% respectively. Ultra settings produce 95 FPS at 1080p, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 72 FPS at 4K, with reductions of 11.6% and 14.3%. The consistency of these percentage drops across settings suggests that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs, since the relative performance loss is steady rather than accelerating.

The data indicates that at 4K, the combo is heavily GPU-bound, as even the Low preset only achieves 149 FPS, which is far below the 197 FPS seen at 1080p. Conversely, at 1080p Low, the system approaches a CPU ceiling, as the 197 FPS figure is the maximum observed. This means that for players targeting high refresh rates at 1080p, the CPU is the more critical component, while for 4K gaming, the GPU’s capabilities dictate the outcome. The RX 6800 XT’s 16 GB VRAM and 512.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle 4K textures without excessive frame drops, as evidenced by the 86 FPS average at 4K High, which remains playable for this action title.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. The Low preset averages 197 FPS, which is the peak performance recorded in the entire dataset. Medium settings reduce the average to 123 FPS, with a minimum of 105 FPS and a maximum of 141 FPS, showing a tight frame window that indicates stable performance. High settings yield 114 FPS on average, while Ultra drops to 95 FPS. The transition from Low to Ultra at 1080p represents a 52% decrease in average FPS, illustrating the significant impact of graphical fidelity on this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decrease proportionally. Low settings produce 175 FPS, which is still exceptionally high and suitable for 144Hz monitors. Medium settings average 110 FPS, with a range of 93 to 126 FPS, maintaining a consistent experience. High settings drop to 102 FPS, and Ultra falls to 84 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 91 FPS, a 52% reduction, mirroring the 1080p trend. This suggests that the GPU’s shading units and TMUs are being fully utilized as resolution increases, with the 288 TMUs and 128 ROPs handling the additional pixel workload efficiently.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates remain playable but require more careful settings selection. Low settings average 149 FPS, which is impressive for 4K and indicates that the combo can handle esports-style settings at high refresh rates. Medium settings average 93 FPS, with a minimum of 79 FPS and a maximum of 107 FPS, providing a stable 60+ FPS experience. High settings average 86 FPS, and Ultra drops to 72 FPS.

This tight grouping indicates that the 7400F offers no significant advantage or disadvantage over its direct competitors in general workloads.

For Overpower, the CPU’s role is most evident at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 197 FPS average suggests the processor is nearing its limit, as the GPU could likely push higher frame rates if the CPU were faster. The single-core score of 3072 in Cinebench R23 reflects strong per-thread performance, which is crucial for games that rely on a primary thread for physics or game logic. The 32 MB of L3 cache also helps reduce memory latency, which can improve frame consistency in action scenes. However, at 1440p and 4K, the CPU’s influence diminishes as the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as seen in the resolution scaling data where frame rates drop uniformly across settings.
