CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, using a 5 nm process from TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. It supports DDR5 memory on a dual-channel bus with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The processor is unlocked, allowing for overclocking, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 7400F shows strong single-thread performance with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072, which is critical for Overpower's frame pacing. Its multi-threaded score of 21765 in Cinebench R23 demonstrates solid overall throughput, but the game's performance is more dependent on the GPU at higher resolutions. The Passmark multithread score of 25645 and single-thread score of 3689 confirm that the CPU is not a bottleneck in this system. Given that the CPU's nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average benchmark score, the processor is delivering exactly what its specifications suggest.

For Overpower, the 6-core/12-thread configuration is sufficient to handle the game's logic and physics without causing frame drops. The high boost clock of 4.70 GHz ensures that the CPU can keep up with the GPU at lower resolutions, where the graphics card is not the limiting factor. At 1080p, the CPU's single-thread performance becomes more relevant, and the data shows it holds up well, producing frame rates that are only slightly lower than at 1440p, indicating headroom remains.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture and uses the TU104 chip on a 12 nm process from TSMC. It has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, along with 40 ray tracing cores and 320 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, and it has a TDP of 215 W.

In terms of raw compute, the RTX 2070 SUPER delivers 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. Its Passmark G3D score of 18169 places it in the 65th percentile among all GPUs, confirming it is a mid-range performer by today's standards. The GPU's nearest rivals are all within 1.5% of its average benchmark score, which means the RTX 2070 SUPER is performing exactly as expected for its class. The card's 8 GB of VRAM is adequate for Overpower at the tested settings, though it may start to show limitations at 4K with higher texture quality.

The GPU's role in this pairing is the primary determinant of frame rates, especially at higher resolutions. The benchmark data shows that the GPU is the limiting component, as the FPS drops significantly when moving from 1080p to 4K, while the CPU remains underutilized. The RTX 2070 SUPER's boost clock of 1770 MHz allows it to maintain consistent performance, but its age is evident in the 4K Ultra results, where it struggles to maintain 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 2070 SUPER delivers strong performance across all settings. On Low settings, the average FPS is 143, which is near the top of what most displays can show. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 89 FPS with a minimum of 76 and a maximum of 102. High settings produce an average of 83 FPS, while Ultra settings yield an average of 69 FPS. At 1080p, the frame rates are consistently above 60 FPS, even on Ultra, making this resolution the most comfortable for this combo.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably. Low settings produce an average of 127 FPS, which is still excellent. Medium settings deliver an average of 79 FPS with a minimum of 67 and a maximum of 91. High settings yield 74 FPS on average, and Ultra settings drop to 61 FPS. At 1440p, the system remains playable on all presets, though Ultra settings are right at the edge of the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limitations. Low settings produce an average of 108 FPS, which is surprisingly strong for 4K. Medium settings drop to 68 FPS with a minimum of 57 and a maximum of 78, indicating that the GPU is starting to struggle. High settings yield just 63 FPS on average, and Ultra settings fall to 52 FPS. At 4K, the system can only maintain smooth gameplay on Low, while Medium and High are borderline, and Ultra is below the 60 FPS target.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound performance. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 143 FPS, which drops to 127 FPS at 1440p and 108 FPS at 4K. This represents a 24.5% decrease from 1080p to 4K on Low settings. On Medium settings, the drop is more pronounced: 89 FPS at 1080p, 79 FPS at 1440p, and 68 FPS at 4K, a 23.6% decrease. High settings show a similar trend: 83 FPS at 1080p, 74 FPS at 1440p, and 63 FPS at 4K, a 24.1% decrease. Ultra settings see the biggest relative drop: 69 FPS at 1080p, 61 FPS at 1440p, and 52 FPS at 4K, a 24.6% decrease.

The consistent drop of approximately 24% across all settings when moving from 1080p to 4K indicates that the GPU is the limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates would converge at higher resolutions, but they do not. The RTX 2070 SUPER is simply running out of pixel-pushing power as the resolution increases. The CPU, with its strong single-thread performance, has plenty of headroom to feed the GPU, but the GPU cannot keep up at 4K.

The data also shows that the drop from 1080p to 1440p is smaller than from 1440p to 4K. For example, on High settings, the FPS drops from 83 to 74 (10.8%) between 1080p and 1440p, then from 74 to 63 (14.9%) between 1440p and 4K. This suggests that the GPU is becoming increasingly strained as the resolution climbs, with the most significant performance hit occurring at the highest resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data suggests that 1080p is the sweet spot for this combo. At 1080p, even Ultra settings produce an average of 69 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. However, for users who want a higher frame rate with more headroom, Medium settings at 1080p provide 89 FPS with a minimum of 76, ensuring no dips below 60 FPS. High settings at 1080p also work well, delivering 83 FPS on average, but the minimum FPS is not recorded, so Medium is the safer choice for consistent performance.

At 1440p, the recommendation shifts to Medium or High settings. Medium settings yield 79 FPS with a minimum of 67, which is acceptable for most players. High settings at 1440p produce 74 FPS on average, which is still playable, but the lack of a minimum FPS reading makes it slightly riskier. Ultra settings at 1440p average 61 FPS, which is right at the edge of the 60 FPS target, so it is not recommended for users who dislike frame drops.

At 4K, the options are more limited. Low settings produce 108 FPS, which is excellent, but the visual quality is compromised. Medium settings at 4K average 68 FPS with a minimum of 57, meaning there are moments where the frame rate dips below 60 FPS. High settings at 4K average 63 FPS, which is borderline, and Ultra settings at 52 FPS are not recommended for smooth gameplay. For 4K users, Low settings are the only option that guarantees a consistently smooth experience, while Medium is acceptable if users can tolerate occasional dips.

Overall, the best experience per the measured rows is at 1080p with Medium settings, offering a balance of visual fidelity and performance with an average of 89 FPS and a minimum of 76. For users prioritizing frame rate over visuals, 1080p Low at 143 FPS is the clear choice. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, with 1440p being a viable secondary option at Medium settings, and 4K reserved for those who can accept Low settings.
