Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces a formidable gaming platform, and the measured FPS data for Overpower (an Action title) reveals a system that is heavily skewed toward GPU dominance. Across all resolutions, the combination of a six-core Zen 4 processor and a flagship Blackwell GPU delivers exceptional frame rates, with the data showing a clear hierarchy where the graphics card is the primary performance driver. The benchmark results indicate that this pairing is not only capable of high refresh rate gaming at 1440p but also sustains very high performance at 4K, making it a high-end option for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Overpower shows a clear and predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, but the scale of that degradation is notably less severe than typical for lower-tier hardware. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system produces an average of 189 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same preset yields 169 FPS, a reduction of roughly 10.6%. Further scaling to 3840x2160 brings the average down to 144 FPS, another drop of approximately 14.8% from the 1440p result. This progression indicates that while the GPU is still the limiting factor, the RTX 5090 D possesses enough headroom to mitigate the traditional drastic FPS loss often seen at higher resolutions.

The pattern becomes even more telling when examining the Low preset. At 1080p Low, the system hits an average of 253 FPS, which is remarkably high. At 1440p Low, it maintains 244 FPS, and at 4K Low, it still produces 231 FPS. The delta between 1080p and 4K at Low settings is only about 8.7%. This small difference strongly suggests that at lower graphical loads, the CPU's performance ceiling is beginning to approach the GPU's output, yet the RTX 5090 D is so powerful that it still pushes frame rates well beyond 200 FPS even at 4K. This data implies that for Overpower, the GPU is the dominant bottleneck across all tested configurations, but the CPU is sufficient to feed it adequately at lower settings.

The scaling behavior points to a system that is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate gaming. The gap between 1080p and 4K at Ultra settings is more pronounced: 157 FPS down to 119 FPS, a 24.2% decrease. This larger drop at the highest preset suggests that the game's Ultra settings introduce effects that are heavily pixel-bound, placing more strain on the GPU's compute and memory subsystems. Even so, the absolute numbers remain high, indicating that the RTX 5090 D's massive bandwidth and compute throughput are handling the load efficiently. The data shows that users can expect playable frame rates at 4K even with all settings maxed out, which reflects the GPU's raw power.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the undisputed performance leader in this configuration, as evidenced by the FPS data. The GPU's specifications from the pack, including 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus with 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, provide the necessary resources for high-resolution texture streaming and complex shading. In Overpower, the difference between the Low and Ultra presets at 4K is 112 FPS (231 vs 119), which directly correlates with the increased load on the GPU's shading units and texture mapping units. The card's boost clock of 2407 MHz and its 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are the engines driving these scores.

The GPU's role becomes clearer when comparing the Medium preset across resolutions. At 4K Medium, the average FPS is 155, with a minimum of 132 and a maximum of 178. At 1440p Medium, it rises to 182 FPS with a min/max of 155/209. At 1080p Medium, it reaches 204 FPS. This data indicates a consistent performance scaling that is almost entirely dependent on pixel count. The RTX 5090 D's performance in this game is not limited by VRAM capacity, as even the 4K Ultra preset, which is most likely to demand high memory usage, shows no signs of frame rate instability or stuttering that would indicate a memory bottleneck. The 32 GB frame buffer is more than ample for this title.

The benchmark results for the GPU itself, such as a Passmark G3D score of 44065 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14326, position it in the top percentile of all GPUs (92nd percentile). This raw compute capability translates directly to the high frame rates observed. The data suggests that the RTX 5090 D is so powerful that in Overpower, the CPU is rarely the bottleneck, even at 1080p with Low settings where the frame rate is capped by the processor's ability to issue draw calls. The GPU's memory clocks of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) and its 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth ensure that data can be fed to the cores without delay, making it the ideal component for this demanding scenario.

Q: What is the best preset for a 144Hz monitor at 4K?

A: For a 144Hz display at 3840x2160, the High preset, which produces an average of 144 FPS, is the only setting that meets this target. The Ultra preset falls short at 119 FPS, while the Medium and Low presets exceed it but with lower visual quality.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal preset depends heavily on the target refresh rate and resolution. For users with a 4K (3840x2160) display, the High preset is the most balanced choice, delivering an average of 144 FPS. This is the only 4K setting that meets the 144Hz refresh rate threshold commonly found in high-end monitors. While the Ultra preset offers the best visual fidelity, its 119 FPS average is below the 144Hz target, making High the superior choice for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the High preset yields 169 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz and even 165Hz monitors. The Ultra preset provides 140 FPS, which is also suitable for a standard 144Hz display, but the High setting offers a higher frame rate with only a minor reduction in visual quality. For competitive play where frame rate is paramount, the Low preset at 1440p achieves 244 FPS, which is beneficial for high-refresh-rate panels (240Hz+), though it sacrifices visual fidelity.

For 1920x1080, the data shows that even the Ultra preset achieves 157 FPS, making it viable for 144Hz gaming. However, the High preset reaches 189 FPS, which provides more headroom and is better suited for 165Hz or 180Hz monitors. The Medium preset offers a good balance at 204 FPS, but the High preset is recommended as it provides a significant FPS boost over Ultra (32 FPS) with a minimal visual impact. The Low preset's 253 FPS is excessive for most displays and should only be used for extreme competitive scenarios.

How This Combo Ranks

In the comprehensive benchmark database, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D ranks 36th out of 2980 tested combos in Overpower. This places the configuration in the top 1.2% of all systems tested, which is an exceptional result. The high ranking is primarily attributable to the RTX 5090 D, which sits in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU is in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. This pairing of a top-tier GPU with a mid-range-to-high-end CPU proves to be highly effective for this title.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Core i7-11850H, which has a score of 24935 (0.1% higher than the 7500F's 24964), and the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, which scores 25005 (0.2% higher). These deltas are negligible, indicating that the 7500F is competitively positioned within its class. For the GPU, the nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT, which scores 76904 (1.1% higher than the 5090 D's 77712), while the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78940 (1.6% higher). The differences are minor, and in real-world gaming, the RTX 5090 D's performance in Overpower is clearly sufficient to secure a top-36 spot.

The rank of 36 out of 2980 is a strong indicator of overall system balance. While there are 35 other combinations that outperform it, these typically involve even higher-end CPUs. The data suggests that for Overpower, the GPU is the dominant factor, and the 7500F does not significantly hold back the RTX 5090 D, allowing the combo to achieve a very high ranking. This confirms the efficiency of the Zen 4 architecture in feeding the GPU with data.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table details the exact measured average FPS for each resolution and settings combination:

• 3840x2160 (4K): Low preset averages 231 FPS. Medium preset averages 155 FPS, with a minimum of 132 and a maximum of 178. High preset averages 144 FPS. Ultra preset averages 119 FPS.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): Low preset averages 244 FPS. Medium preset averages 182 FPS, with a minimum of 155 and a maximum of 209. High preset averages 169 FPS. Ultra preset averages 140 FPS.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): Low preset averages 253 FPS. Medium preset averages 204 FPS, with a minimum of 174 and a maximum of 235. High preset averages 189 FPS. Ultra preset averages 157 FPS.

The data shows a consistent trend where the Medium preset provides a substantial boost over High, and the Low preset offers the highest frame rates. The minimum FPS values for the Medium preset across all resolutions (132 at 4K, 155 at 1440p, and 174 at 1080p) indicate that frame pacing is stable, with no severe dips that would cause noticeable stuttering. This suggests that the system maintains a smooth experience even when the GPU is under heavy load.

The scaling from Low to Ultra is consistent across resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 96 FPS (253 vs 157). At 1440p, it is 104 FPS (244 vs 140). At 4K, it is 112 FPS (231 vs 119). This widening gap at higher resolutions confirms that the Ultra preset's additional graphical effects (such as advanced lighting and shadows) are more demanding at higher pixel counts, placing increasingly heavy loads on the GPU's compute units and memory subsystem.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, plays a supporting role in this configuration. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.00 GHz, combined with 32 MB of shared L3 cache, provide sufficient single-thread performance to handle game logic and draw calls. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 3218 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 22799 in multi-core, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. This level of performance ensures that it does not become a significant bottleneck in most gaming scenarios.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent when analyzing the FPS differences at low resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 253 FPS, which is a very high frame rate. If the CPU were severely limiting, we would expect to see a plateau in FPS across different resolutions at the Low preset. However, the data shows a slight decrease from 253 FPS at 1080p to 244 FPS at 1440p, and then to 231 FPS at 4K. This indicates that the GPU is still the main driver of performance, but the CPU's 6 cores are capable of keeping up with the GPU's output without introducing a hard frame rate cap.

The nearest CPU rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-13620H (0.2% higher average score) and the Intel Core 5 210H (0.4% higher), show that the 7500F is competitive with other mid-range options. In the context of Overpower, the CPU's 12 threads are more than adequate for this action title, which is unlikely to utilize more than a few cores. The data confirms that the Ryzen 5 7500F is a suitable partner for the RTX 5090 D, as it provides enough processing power to avoid being the primary limitation, even at lower graphical settings where the GPU has more headroom.
