GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications make that clear. With 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, the card delivers 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. This is crucial for Overpower, an action game that pushes high-resolution textures and effects. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,326 and a Passmark G3D score of 44,065 confirm the GPU’s compute strength.

Clock speeds are set at a base of 2017 MHz with a boost of 2407 MHz, while memory runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate mean the card can handle even the most demanding scenes without becoming the bottleneck. In the measured FPS data, the GPU’s role is evident: at 3840x2160 Ultra, the combo still manages 119 FPS average, which is only possible due to the RTX 5090 D’s 176 ROPs and 21760 shading units.

The processor, a 6-core 12-thread Ryzen 5 7500X3D, provides 96 MB of shared L3 cache, a key feature for gaming. Its Passmark single-thread score of 3494 and multithread score of 25,047 show it can feed the GPU effectively. However, the data suggests the GPU is the star: moving from Low to Ultra at the same resolution causes a much larger FPS drop than moving between resolutions at the same settings. This indicates the RTX 5090 D’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are the deciding factors in Overpower.

The GPU’s 92nd percentile ranking versus all GPUs, combined with the CPU’s 89th percentile, shows a balanced system where the GPU slightly outpaces the CPU in relative standing. Yet the RTX 5090 D’s 1.79 TB/s bandwidth and 32 GB frame buffer mean it never starves for data, even at 4K Ultra. The measured results confirm this: the FPS at 3840x2160 High (144) is still well above 60, and the graph of scores across settings shows a smooth degradation rather than a cliff.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data from 1080p to 4K reveals how the system scales with pixel count, and the pattern is consistent across all settings. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 232 at 1920x1080 to 223 at 2560x1440 (a 3.9% drop) and then to 211 at 3840x2160 (a 9.1% drop from 1440p). This shallow curve indicates that at Low settings, the CPU still has significant headroom, and the GPU is handling the load comfortably.

At High settings, the scaling is steeper. The average FPS drops from 188 at 1080p to 169 at 1440p (10.1% drop) and then to 144 at 4K (14.8% drop from 1440p). The total reduction from 1080p to 4K is 23.4%, which is larger than the Low setting’s 9.1% reduction. This suggests that as settings increase, the GPU becomes more stressed, but the CPU is still keeping up.

The Medium settings show a similar trend, with averages of 193 FPS at 1080p, 182 at 1440p, and 155 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 19.7%. Notably, the minimum FPS at Medium also scales: 164 at 1080p, 155 at 1440p, and 132 at 4K. This indicates that even the worst-case frame times improve at lower resolutions, reinforcing that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

At Ultra settings, the averages are 157 FPS at 1080p, 140 at 1440p, and 119 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 24.2%, the largest percentage decrease of any setting. This is expected, as Ultra settings increase both shading complexity and memory pressure. The fact that 4K Ultra still holds 119 FPS shows the RTX 5090 D’s 32 GB buffer and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are sufficient, but the trend confirms that resolution scaling is the primary variable.

The limiting component is clearly the GPU. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see similar FPS numbers across resolutions at the same settings, since the CPU workload per frame is roughly constant regardless of resolution. Instead, the data shows a 20-24% reduction from 1080p to 4K at High, Medium, and Ultra, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. The only exception is Low settings, where the FPS remains high enough that even the CPU’s capabilities are not fully taxed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 232 FPS, which is the single best result across all tested configurations. Medium settings average 193 FPS with a minimum of 164 and a maximum of 222. High settings average 188 FPS, while Ultra settings average 157 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 75 FPS, or 32.3% of the Low value, showing that settings have a moderate impact at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 223 FPS at Low, 182 FPS at Medium (with min 155 and max 209), 169 FPS at High, and 140 FPS at Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is 83 FPS, or 37.2%. The Medium settings show that the minimum FPS of 155 is still very playable, and the maximum of 209 indicates that the system can burst well above average when scenes allow.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 211 FPS at Low, 155 FPS at Medium (min 132, max 178), 144 FPS at High, and 119 FPS at Ultra. The Low to Ultra drop is 92 FPS, or 43.6%. This is the largest percentage drop, confirming that Ultra settings at 4K put the most strain on the GPU. The Medium minimum of 132 FPS is still above 60, but the drop from 1080p Medium’s 164 FPS minimum shows how resolution affects worst-case performance.

The data shows a clear hierarchy: Low > Medium > High > Ultra at every resolution. The differences between settings are consistent, with Medium typically being 9-14% slower than Low, High being 3-7% slower than Medium, and Ultra being 17-24% slower than High. This pattern suggests that each settings tier adds a predictable workload increase, and the RTX 5090 D handles it gracefully without sudden collapses.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7500X3D and RTX 5090 D ranks 78th out of 2980 tested combos in Overpower. This places it in the top 2.6% of all systems, which is an exceptional result given the processor’s mid-range positioning. The CPU itself ranks 89th percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU ranks 92nd, so the combo outperforms what either component would suggest on its own.

The relative CPU performance against rivals is tight. The 7500X3D’s average score of 44,573 is nearly identical to the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (44,466, +0.2%), the Intel Core i9-13950HX (44,342, +0.5%), and the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 (44,309, +0.6%). The Intel Core i5-14600 leads by 0.7% with a score of 44,889. These are all within a 1.3% band, meaning the CPU is not a differentiator in this ranking.

On the GPU side, the RTX 5090 D’s average score of 77,712 places it just 1.1% above the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904) and 1.6% below the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940). The NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants trail by 2.1% and 2.4%. This indicates that the GPU’s performance is competitive but not dominant over its direct rivals.

The 78th rank out of 2980 is surprising for a combo with a 6-core CPU. Many higher-ranking combos likely pair the RTX 5090 D with more powerful CPUs, but the 7500X3D’s 96 MB L3 cache compensates for its lower core count. The fact that this combo outperforms 97.4% of all tested systems shows that the CPU’s cache architecture is well-suited for Overpower’s workload, even if benchmark scores alone would not predict this.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for the best experience in Overpower. For players targeting the highest possible refresh rates, 1920x1080 Low settings deliver 232 FPS average, which is ideal for 240Hz monitors. However, this comes at the cost of visual fidelity, and the 32 GB GPU is underutilized at such low settings.

For a balanced experience at 1440p, Medium settings offer 182 FPS average with a 155 FPS minimum. This is the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate gaming (165Hz or 180Hz displays), as the minimum FPS stays above 144 Hz. The 2560x1440 Medium configuration also outperforms the 4K High settings (144 FPS) and comes close to the 1080p High results (188 FPS), making it a strong choice for competitive play without sacrificing too much detail.

At 4K, High settings provide 144 FPS average, which is excellent for 120Hz or 144Hz displays. The drop to 119 FPS at Ultra is noticeable but still playable, and the minimum FPS at 4K Medium (132) is higher than the average at 4K Ultra. For the best visual experience on a 4K display, High settings are recommended, as they offer a 20.8% improvement over Ultra while maintaining a higher frame rate than most monitors can display.

The data suggests avoiding Ultra settings at 4K if frame rate consistency is a priority, as the 119 FPS average is the lowest recorded. Instead, 4K High offers nearly 25 more FPS with only a modest reduction in visual quality. For 1080p users, Ultra settings at 157 FPS are viable, but Medium provides 36 more FPS and a minimum that is 7 FPS higher, making it the better choice for competitive play.

In summary, the best experience per the measured rows is 2560x1440 Medium for high refresh rates, 3840x2160 High for 4K gaming, and 1920x1080 Medium for maximum frame rate consistency. Low settings should only be used for benchmark chasing, as the visual trade-off is not worth the FPS gain above 200.
