Overpower

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 in this combo carries 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. Those are the headline numbers for a card that is built to handle heavy rasterization and ray tracing workloads at high resolutions. The memory size alone is notable: 24 GB is far beyond what most current games need, so capacity is not a limiting factor in Overpower at any of the tested settings. The bandwidth figure matters more in practice, because Overpower appears to scale with memory throughput when you push resolution and detail levels simultaneously.

The GPU’s base clock is 2235 MHz with a boost clock of 2520 MHz. Those clocks are high for a large chip, and the card’s 16384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs give it an enormous amount of raw compute to work with. The FP32 throughput is 82.58 TFLOPS, which is the kind of number that shows up in synthetic benchmarks like 3DMark Steel Nomad (score 9223) and Geekbench Vulkan (score 271631). In Overpower, those compute resources translate into frame rates that are consistently above 100 FPS even at 4K Ultra, which is a strong indicator that the GPU is doing the heavy lifting in most scenarios.

The RTX 4090 also has 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores. Overpower is an action game, not a ray tracing showcase, but the presence of those cores means the card can handle any optional ray-traced effects without a significant frame rate penalty. The API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6, so the card is fully compatible with modern rendering paths. The GPU’s pixel rate is 443.5 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 1,290.2 GTexel/s. Those figures explain why the card maintains high minimums in the Medium settings runs, where the measured min FPS at 4K is 120 and at 1440p is 142.

The GPU’s average benchmark score is 60347, and it sits in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival in the database is the Intel Arc Pro A60 with an average score of 60326 and a deltaPct of 0, meaning the RTX 4090 is essentially tied with that card in aggregate performance. That is a strange pairing—the Arc Pro A60 is a workstation card, not a gaming part—but the data shows what it shows. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (score 60140, deltaPct 0.3) and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 (score 58657, deltaPct 2.9) are also close, which suggests the RTX 4090’s synthetic averages are not as dominant as its gaming frame rates would imply. In Overpower specifically, the measured FPS tells a more useful story than those aggregate scores.

The GPU is a triple-slot card, 304 mm long, 137 mm tall, and 61 mm wide. It uses a single 16-pin power connector and has a TDP of 450 W, with a suggested PSU of 850 W. Those are physical and power constraints that matter for system building, but they do not affect the benchmark results. The card’s production status is end-of-life, and its successor is the GeForce 50 series, so this is a last-generation flagship that still performs at a very high level in Overpower.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 4 architecture (codename Raphael), built on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The cache layout is 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3. That L3 pool is important for gaming because it allows frequently accessed data to stay closer to the cores, reducing latency. The CPU’s TDP is 65 W, which is low for a desktop part, and it supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s.

In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 21765 in multi-core and 3072 in single-core. The multi-core score is solid for a 6-core part, but it is not exceptional—the single-core score is more relevant for gaming. In PassMark, the single-thread score is 3689, and the multithread score is 25645. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 32750, putting it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i5-14600T (avgScore 32707, deltaPct 0.1), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (avgScore 32697, deltaPct 0.2), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (avgScore 32812, deltaPct -0.2). Those deltas are all under a percent, meaning the 7400F is effectively tied with those parts in aggregate CPU performance.

For Overpower, the CPU’s role is to feed the RTX 4090 with enough draw calls and game logic updates to keep frame rates high. The data suggests it does that well at high resolutions, but the gap between 1080p and 4K frame rates reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At 1080p High, the combo averages 173 FPS. At 4K High, it averages 131 FPS. That 42 FPS drop is primarily due to the GPU being pushed harder at higher pixel counts, not the CPU holding back. The CPU’s single-thread performance is strong enough that it does not become the limiting factor until frame rates get very high, like the 243 FPS seen at 1080p Low.

The CPU uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform with PCIe Gen 5 (24 lanes from the CPU). It has no integrated graphics, so the RTX 4090 is the only display output. The CPU’s multiplier is unlocked, which means it can be overclocked if the motherboard and cooling allow it, but the benchmark data reflects stock operation. The 7400F was released on 2025-01-08 with a launch MSRP of $229. That price point is modest, but this page does not discuss value.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, average frame rates drop, but the drop is not uniform across settings. At Low settings, the combo goes from 243 FPS at 1080p to 234 FPS at 1440p to 222 FPS at 4K. That is a 21 FPS drop from 1080p to 4K, which is only about 8.6%—very small. At Low settings, the GPU is not stressed much, so the CPU becomes the limiting factor even at 1080p, and the frame rate stays high because the RTX 4090 has plenty of headroom.

At Medium settings, the frame rates are 187 FPS at 1080p, 167 FPS at 1440p, and 142 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 45 FPS, or about 24%. That is a larger percentage drop than Low, indicating that the GPU is starting to become more involved. The measured min FPS at Medium is 159 at 1080p, 142 at 1440p, and 120 at 4K, with max FPS at 215, 192, and 163 respectively. Those min and max numbers show that the frame pacing holds up well even as resolution climbs.

At High settings, the frame rates are 173 FPS at 1080p, 155 FPS at 1440p, and 131 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 42 FPS, or about 24.3%. This is almost the same percentage drop as Medium, which suggests the GPU is the primary limiter at these settings. The delta between 1440p and 4K is 24 FPS, while the delta between 1080p and 1440p is 18 FPS. That is a slightly larger drop at the higher resolution step, which is consistent with the GPU being pushed harder as pixel count increases.

At Ultra settings, the frame rates are 144 FPS at 1080p, 128 FPS at 1440p, and 109 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 35 FPS, or about 24.3%. That is the same percentage drop as High and Medium, which is a strong signal that the GPU is the bottleneck at all three of those settings. The 4K Ultra result of 109 FPS is still very playable, and the fact that the percentage drop is consistent across Medium, High, and Ultra suggests that Overpower scales predictably with resolution.

The low settings results are the outlier. The 21 FPS drop from 1080p to 4K at Low is much smaller in percentage terms than the other settings, which indicates the CPU is the limiting factor there. At 1080p Low, the frame rate is 243 FPS, which is very high. The RTX 4090 could likely render even more frames, but the CPU cannot supply them fast enough. This is a classic CPU-bound scenario. Once you move to Medium or higher, the GPU takes over as the limiting component, and the frame rates drop in a controlled, predictable manner.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data includes measured average FPS for four settings (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) at three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160). Medium is the only setting with min and max FPS recorded, which provides additional insight into frame pacing.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 243 FPS average
• Medium: 187 FPS average, 159 min, 215 max
• High: 173 FPS average
• Ultra: 144 FPS average

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 234 FPS average
• Medium: 167 FPS average, 142 min, 192 max
• High: 155 FPS average
• Ultra: 128 FPS average

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 222 FPS average
• Medium: 142 FPS average, 120 min, 163 max
• High: 131 FPS average
• Ultra: 109 FPS average

The Medium settings numbers are the most detailed. At 1080p, the average is 187 FPS with a min of 159 and a max of 215. That is a spread of 56 FPS between min and max, which is normal for a game with variable scene complexity. At 1440p, the average drops to 167 FPS, with a min of 142 and a max of 192—a spread of 50 FPS. At 4K, the average is 142 FPS, with a min of 120 and a max of 163—a spread of 43 FPS. The shrinking spread at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU is becoming more consistently loaded, which reduces frame time variance.

The Low settings results are notable for how close they are across resolutions. The 1080p Low result is 243 FPS, the 1440p Low result is 234 FPS, and the 4K Low result is 222 FPS. That is only a 21 FPS difference between 1080p and 4K, which is far smaller than the differences seen at other settings. This suggests that at Low settings, the CPU is the primary bottleneck, and the GPU has enough headroom to render even at 4K with minimal frame rate loss.

The Ultra settings results are the lowest of all, but they are still high in absolute terms. The 4K Ultra average of 109 FPS is well above the 60 FPS threshold that most players consider smooth. The 1440p Ultra average of 128 FPS and the 1080p Ultra average of 144 FPS are both strong results. The progression from Ultra to High to Medium to Low at each resolution shows a consistent scaling pattern: each step down in settings yields a corresponding increase in average FPS, with the largest jumps occurring between Medium and Low.

# How This Combo Ranks

In Overpower, this combo (Ryzen 5 7400F + RTX 4090) ranks 115 out of 2980 tested combinations. That puts it in the top 3.9% of all combos in the database for this game. The rank is based on measured FPS data, not synthetic benchmarks, so it reflects actual gaming performance. Being 115th out of 2980 means there are 114 combos that perform better, but the vast majority of tested systems—2865 of them—perform worse.

The high rank is somewhat surprising given that the CPU is a mid-range 6-core part. The RTX 4090 is a top-tier GPU, and in a game like Overpower, the GPU has a large influence on overall frame rates. The combo’s rank suggests that the CPU is not holding the GPU back enough to push the combo down the list. At 4K Ultra, the combo still manages 109 FPS, which is a very strong result. The fact that the combo ranks this high despite a relatively modest CPU indicates that Overpower is not a CPU-heavy game, or that the 7400F’s single-thread performance is sufficient for the game’s demands.

The CPU’s percentile rank among all CPUs is 83, and its average benchmark score is 32750. The GPU’s percentile rank among all GPUs is 88, with an average benchmark score of 60347. Both components are above average, but the GPU is more clearly in the upper echelon. The combo’s in-game rank of 115 out of 2980 is better than what you might expect from combining an 83rd-percentile CPU with an 88th-percentile GPU, which suggests that Overpower rewards GPU performance more heavily than CPU performance.

The nearest rival combos in the database are not listed, so it is not possible to compare directly to specific other pairings. However, the rank itself is meaningful: 115th out of 2980 puts this combo in the top few percent of all systems tested for Overpower. The delta between this combo and the top-ranked combos is not quantified, but the rank implies that the RTX 4090 is doing most of the work to achieve those frame rates.
