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

The measured FPS rows reveal a clear and consistent scaling pattern as resolution climbs. At 1080p Low, the combo delivers 235 FPS; at 1440p Low it drops to 210.4 FPS; and at 4K Low it falls to 180.4 FPS. That is a 23% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings. The curve is not linear — the jump from 1080p to 1440p costs 24.6 FPS, while the jump from 1440p to 4K costs another 30 FPS. The gradient steepens at higher resolutions, which is the classic signature of a GPU-bound workload.

However, look at the Ultra setting: 113.5 FPS at 1080p, 98.7 FPS at 1440p, and 89 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is only 21.6% — actually smaller in percentage terms than the Low setting’s drop. This is a curious inversion. At Ultra, the settings themselves impose such heavy shading and memory pressure that resolution becomes a smaller relative factor. The data suggests that at Ultra, even 1080p is already pushing the GPU hard enough that the additional pixel count at 4K adds less incremental burden.

The Medium preset shows a similar pattern to High: 145.7 FPS at 1080p, 131.3 FPS at 1440p, and 112.8 FPS at 4K. High settings land in between: 138.1, 123.5, and 104.7 FPS respectively. In all cases, the 4K figure remains above 89 FPS, which means the RTX 4070 SUPER is never fully overwhelmed by pixel count alone in this title. The limiting component at 1080p Low is almost certainly the CPU — 235 FPS is well beyond what most scenes would demand, and the gap between Low and Medium at 1080p (89.3 FPS) is far larger than the gap between Medium and High (7.6 FPS), suggesting the GPU has headroom at the lowest settings.

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

The GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER carries 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, with a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The memory clock is listed at 1313 MHz, or 21 Gbps effective. Those specs matter for Overpower because the game’s Ultra preset likely increases texture streaming and shadow detail, which consume VRAM capacity and bandwidth. The measured results support this: at 4K Ultra, the combo still holds 89 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the 12 GB frame buffer is sufficient at that resolution — a smaller VRAM pool would likely cause stutters or texture pop-in, but the average FPS remains smooth.

The GPU’s boost clock is 2475 MHz, with a base of 1980 MHz. The architecture is Ada Lovelace, built on a 5 nm process from TSMC, with 35,800 million transistors packed into a 294 mm² die. The shading units number 7168, with 224 TMUs and 80 ROPs. The pixel rate is 198.0 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 554.4 GTexel/s. These raw throughput numbers explain why the GPU can push 180+ FPS at 4K Low — the fill-rate capabilities are substantial. The FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS is the same as FP16 (1:1 ratio), which indicates that the compute units are not artificially halved for FP16 workloads, a design choice that benefits games with compute-heavy post-processing.

The GPU’s percentile rank is 84th among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (deltaPct -0.2), the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (deltaPct -0.3), and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X (deltaPct 1.4). The RTX 4070 SUPER sits essentially neck-and-neck with the A6000 and the RX 7650 GRE, within 0.3% either way. That tells us the GPU is not a statistical outlier; it lands in a well-populated performance tier. The 220 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU are typical for this class.

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

The measured rows offer four presets at three resolutions. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 235 FPS, Medium 145.7, High 138.1, and Ultra 113.5. The step from Low to Medium is a 89.3 FPS loss — a massive drop that suggests Low is intentionally stripped-down, possibly disabling ambient occlusion and shadows. The step from Medium to High is only 7.6 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 24.6 FPS. If the goal is maximum smoothness on a 144 Hz display, Medium at 1080p is the sweet spot: it keeps 145.7 FPS, which is above 144, while offering better visuals than Low.

At 1440p, the pattern shifts: Low gives 210.4 FPS, Medium 131.3, High 123.5, and Ultra 98.7. The Medium-to-High gap narrows to 7.8 FPS, while High-to-Ultra costs 24.8 FPS. For 1440p, High is the recommended preset because it holds 123.5 FPS, which is comfortably above 100, and the visual uplift from High to Ultra (which drops to 98.7 FPS) is not worth a 20% frame rate loss. At 4K, the choices are tighter: Low 180.4, Medium 112.8, High 104.7, and Ultra 89. The Medium preset at 4K provides 112.8 FPS — the only 4K preset above 110 — which balances visual fidelity with a fluid frame rate. Ultra at 4K dips to 89 FPS, which is still playable but not ideal for fast-paced action.

The data indicates that the game’s Ultra preset is disproportionately expensive at lower resolutions. At 1080p, Ultra costs 121.5 FPS compared to Low, which is over half the Low score. This suggests Ultra enables expensive effects like ray-traced shadows or volumetric lighting that scale with pixel count. For most users, the Medium or High presets will provide the best experience per the measured rows, depending on resolution target.

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

At 1920x1080, the measurements are: Low 235 FPS, Medium 145.7 FPS, High 138.1 FPS, and Ultra 113.5 FPS. The spread from lowest to highest is 121.5 FPS, which shows the GPU’s headroom at this resolution. The Low preset nearly doubles the Medium score, revealing that Low likely disables significant rendering features.

At 2560x1440, the scores are: Low 210.4 FPS, Medium 131.3 FPS, High 123.5 FPS, and Ultra 98.7 FPS. The spread narrows to 111.7 FPS. The Low-to-Medium drop is 79.1 FPS, slightly less than at 1080p, which is consistent with the GPU becoming more of a bottleneck at higher pixel counts.

At 3840x2160, the scores are: Low 180.4 FPS, Medium 112.8 FPS, High 104.7 FPS, and Ultra 89 FPS. The spread is 91.4 FPS, the smallest of the three resolutions. The Low preset still delivers 180.4 FPS, which is remarkable for 4K and indicates the game is not particularly demanding when settings are minimized. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only measured row below 90 FPS, making it the most demanding configuration in the entire dataset.

Comparing across resolutions for the same preset: Low goes from 235 to 210.4 to 180.4; Medium from 145.7 to 131.3 to 112.8; High from 138.1 to 123.5 to 104.7; Ultra from 113.5 to 98.7 to 89. The High preset loses 33.4 FPS from 1080p to 4K, while Ultra loses only 24.5 FPS. This suggests that Ultra settings are so demanding that the GPU is already near its limits at 1080p, leaving less room for resolution to matter.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, built on a 5 nm process from TSMC. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz and boost clock is 5.00 GHz. The CPU has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. The TDP is 65 W, which is low for a desktop part, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5.

The benchmark scores show strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore is 22799, single-core is 3218; Geekbench multicore is 12686, single-core is 2759. The 3DMark scores scale from 1902 at 2 threads to 6379 at max threads, indicating good scaling up to the 12 threads. The single-thread score of 974 in 3DMark is notable because games like Overpower often rely heavily on single-thread performance for physics and game logic.

The CPU’s percentile rank is 82nd among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24993. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i7-11850H (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (deltaPct -0.3), AMD Ryzen 5 8400F (deltaPct -0.3), and AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (deltaPct 0.4). The 7500F is statistically tied with all four, within 0.4% either way. This suggests that in Overpower, the CPU is not a differentiator — the game is likely GPU-bound at most settings. The evidence is that at 1080p Low, the combo hits 235 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s frame rate ceiling for this game. If the CPU were weaker, we might see a plateau at lower FPS; but 235 FPS is high enough to indicate the CPU is keeping up.

The boost clock of 5.00 GHz is high, and the 6 cores with 12 threads provide enough parallelism for modern game engines. The L3 cache of 32 MB is shared across all cores, which helps with data reuse in game scenes. The memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s is modest compared to the GPU’s 504.2 GB/s, but the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics data, not to move textures.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combo ranks 263rd out of 1744 tested combinations in Overpower. That places it in the top 15.1% of all combos in the database. The rank is a composite measure that accounts for both CPU and GPU performance in this specific game. Given the GPU’s 84th percentile and the CPU’s 82nd percentile, a rank of 263 out of 1744 is consistent — the combo is above average but not at the very top, because there are many combos with higher-end CPUs (like Ryzen 9 or Core i9 parts) and GPUs (like RTX 4080 or 4090) that would score higher.

The rank of 263 means there are 262 combos that perform better, and 1481 that perform worse. This is a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The fact that the combo sits in the top 15% suggests that the 7500F is not bottlenecking the 4070 SUPER in Overpower. If the CPU were a limiting factor, the rank would be lower because the GPU’s potential would be wasted. The data supports the interpretation that the RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of performance, with the 7500F providing adequate support.

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU individually are all within 1.6% deltaPct, which indicates that this combo is in a tightly packed performance tier. The CPU’s rivals range from the Intel Core i7-11850H to the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, and the GPU’s rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A6000 and AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE. If a user swapped the CPU for any of these rivals, the in-game rank would likely change by only a few positions. This suggests that Overpower is not particularly sensitive to CPU choice among these mid-range and high-end parts — the GPU does the heavy lifting. The rank of 263 out of 1744 is therefore a reliable indicator of what this combo delivers: solid 4K gaming with frame rates above 89 FPS at Ultra, and excellent 1080p performance with 235 FPS at Low.
