Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a high-refresh-rate experience in Overpower across all tested resolutions, with the data indicating that the GPU becomes the primary scaling bottleneck as resolution increases. This combination ranks 203rd out of 2,980 tested combos in the game, placing it in the 93rd percentile of all configurations, and the measured frame rates confirm its capability to handle both competitive and visually demanding scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the Low preset, the average frame rate drops from 243 FPS at 1080p to 234 FPS at 1440p, a modest 3.7% reduction, and then to 204 FPS at 4K, representing a further 12.8% drop from the 1440p figure. This translates to an overall 16.0% decrease from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, which suggests that at lower graphical loads, the system still has substantial headroom, and the scaling is relatively gentle.

The Medium preset shows a steeper decline. Starting at 168 FPS in 1080p, it falls to 150 FPS at 1440p (a 10.7% reduction) and then to 127 FPS at 4K (a 15.3% reduction from 1440p). The overall drop from 1080p to 4K is 24.4%. Similarly, the High preset begins at 156 FPS in 1080p, drops to 139 FPS at 1440p (10.9% less), and then to 118 FPS at 4K (15.1% less than 1440p), for a total reduction of 24.4%. The Ultra preset follows the same trend, with 130 FPS at 1080p, 115 FPS at 1440p (11.5% drop), and 98 FPS at 4K (14.8% drop from 1440p), totaling 24.6% lower from 1080p to 4K.

These scaling patterns indicate that the RTX 4080 SUPER is the limiting component at higher resolutions. The consistent 24-25% performance penalty from 1080p to 4K across Medium, High, and Ultra presets points to the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth being fully utilized as the pixel count quadruples. The smaller penalty observed at Low settings—only 16%—suggests that at minimal graphical complexity, the CPU can still feed the GPU adequately, but the GPU's workload does not scale as steeply. The data supports a conclusion that Overpower is heavily GPU-bound at 4K, while at 1080p, the system is capable of exceeding 240 FPS on Low, indicating that the CPU (with 6 cores and 12 threads) is not a significant constraint at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear hierarchy for optimizing the balance between visual quality and frame rate. For players targeting the highest refresh rates, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 243 FPS, which is the maximum measured average across all configurations. However, this comes at the cost of visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 1080p offers 168 FPS, which is 75 FPS lower than Low but still comfortably above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on high-end monitors.

At 1440p, the Medium preset produces 150 FPS, while High yields 139 FPS. The difference of 11 FPS is marginal, but the visual uplift from Medium to High is typically substantial. Given that both exceed 130 FPS, the High preset at 1440p appears to be the sweet spot for a high-refresh-rate experience without sacrificing too much detail. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 115 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 17.3% reduction from High, a noticeable penalty for the incremental visual gains.

For 4K gaming, the High preset achieves 118 FPS, which is the recommended choice for a smooth experience on a 120 Hz display. The Ultra preset falls to 98 FPS, which is below the 100 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for a fluid action game. The Medium preset at 4K offers 127 FPS, which is higher than High, but the visual downgrade is more pronounced. The data suggests that High at 4K provides the best compromise, as it maintains a frame rate above 115 FPS while preserving most of the game's graphical features. The Low preset at 4K, at 204 FPS, is only relevant for competitive play where frame rate trumps all visual considerations.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently shows the smallest gap to High (e.g., 168 vs 156 FPS at 1080p), indicating that the step from Medium to High is relatively inexpensive in performance terms, whereas the step from High to Ultra costs roughly 16-17% in average FPS. Therefore, for the best experience per the measured rows, the High preset is the recommended default, with Medium as a fallback for those prioritizing higher frame rates, and Ultra reserved for scenarios where visual fidelity is paramount and the frame rate drop is acceptable.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this configuration, as evidenced by the resolution scaling data. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. This substantial bandwidth is crucial for feeding the 10,240 shading units and 112 ROPs at high resolutions, and it explains why the 4K performance remains playable even at Ultra settings. The GPU's boost clock of 2550 MHz, with a base clock of 2295 MHz, allows it to maintain high throughput across the 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 54,209, placing it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080, scores 54,247, a negligible 0.1% difference, confirming that the SUPER variant offers nearly identical raw performance in synthetic tests. The data shows a larger gap to the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, which scores 55,698 (2.7% higher), and the AMD Radeon 8060S, which scores 55,757 (2.8% higher). In Overpower, the GPU's 16 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor, as even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 98 indicates that the memory capacity is sufficient. The pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s are directly reflected in the 4K performance, where the GPU's fill rate becomes the primary constraint, leading to the ~24% performance drop from 1080p to 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F provides the processing foundation for this combo, with 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.70 GHz, combined with 32 MB of shared L3 cache, deliver strong single-threaded performance. The CPU's Cinebench R23 single-core score is 3,072, and its multi-core score is 21,765, indicating a balanced profile. The Passmark single-thread score of 3,689 and multithread score of 25,645 further corroborate this.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 32,750, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-14600T (32,707, delta 0.1%), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32,697, delta 0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (32,812, delta -0.2%). These tight margins (all within 0.3%) suggest that the 7400F is competitively positioned within its performance class. In Overpower, the CPU's role is evident at lower resolutions: at 1080p Low, the system achieves 243 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame output limit. The fact that 4K Low (204 FPS) is only 16% lower than 1080p Low, while 4K Ultra (98 FPS) is 24.6% lower than 1080p Ultra, suggests that at Low settings, the CPU is more involved in frame generation, whereas at Ultra settings, the GPU's workload dominates. The CPU's 12 threads are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1440p and 4K, but the data does not indicate that the CPU is over-provisioned for this game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 203rd out of 2,980 tested combos in Overpower. This places it in the top 6.8% of all configurations, which is a strong result for a pairing that features a mid-range CPU with a high-end GPU. The rank is primarily driven by the GPU's performance, as the CPU's 83rd percentile standing is below the GPU's 86th percentile, suggesting that the GPU is the star of this combo.

The benchmark data shows that the combo is capable of exceeding 200 FPS at 1080p Low and 1440p Low, and it stays above 115 FPS at 1440p High and 4K High. The rank of 203 implies that there are 202 other combos that deliver higher average frame rates in this game, likely featuring more powerful CPUs (e.g., higher-core-count parts) or top-tier GPUs like the RTX 4090. However, the 7400F's performance is not a significant drag, as its nearest CPU rivals are within 0.3% of its average score, meaning that swapping to a different CPU in the same performance bracket would yield minimal changes in the final rank. The combo's ability to maintain 98 FPS at 4K Ultra reflects the RTX 4080 SUPER's capabilities, and the overall rank of 203 out of 2,980 confirms that this is a high-performance pairing suitable for demanding action games at high resolutions. The data does not show any scenario where the CPU's 6 cores become a limiting factor, as even the most CPU-sensitive Low preset at 1080p produces 243 FPS, which is far beyond typical display refresh rates.
