Overpower

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER lands at rank 269 out of 1,744 tested combinations in Overpower. That places this system comfortably in the top 15% of all tested hardware pairings for this title. The combo outperforms roughly 85% of the field, which is a strong showing for a mainstream desktop CPU and a single-GPU setup. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 26,617 puts it nearly dead-even with its nearest rivals: it sits just 0.2% above the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and AMD EPYC 8024P, and 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i9-11900K. Meanwhile, the GPU’s average score of 42,576 trails the NVIDIA RTX A6000 by a razor-thin 0.2% and the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE by 0.3%, while leading the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 1.4% and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 1.6%. The data indicates a balanced pairing where neither component is a dramatic outlier relative to its peers, yet the combination still achieves a high in-game rank.

What stands out is the consistency of the two components’ percentile standings. The CPU ranks in the 83rd percentile among all processors, and the GPU sits in the 84th percentile among all graphics cards. This near-match in relative performance suggests the system is well-balanced for Overpower, with no single part dragging the other down. The rank of 269 also implies that the roughly 1,475 combos ahead of it are likely dominated by higher-end multi-GPU configurations or flagship CPUs, but for a single-socket AM5 build with a 12 GB graphics card, this is an exceptionally competitive position.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, alongside 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores. The card’s boost clock reaches 2,475 MHz, with a base clock of 1,980 MHz, and its memory operates at 1,313 MHz, translating to 21 Gbps effective on the GDDR6X modules. The 12 GB frame buffer sits on a 192-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. For Overpower, an action title that benefits from high frame rates and responsive rendering, this memory configuration provides ample headroom for texture streaming and geometry data at most settings.

The GPU’s raw compute capability is notable: it delivers 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, and the same figure for FP16, which indicates strong throughput for both standard rasterization and compute-heavy effects. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s further underscore its ability to handle high-resolution rendering. In the context of Overpower’s measured results, the GPU appears to be the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K. The card’s 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs reinforces that it is a top-tier performer, though not at the absolute flagship level. Its nearest rival, the RTX A6000, scores only 0.2% higher on average, which suggests that the 4070 SUPER is punching well above its class in synthetic benchmarks.

Resolution Scaling

Examining the measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear trend: the system scales strongly as resolution decreases, but the rate of improvement varies by settings preset. At 4K Ultra, the combo produces 88.4 FPS, which rises to 104.1 FPS at 1440p Ultra, and then 111.4 FPS at 1080p Ultra. That is a 26% jump from 4K to 1440p, but only a 7% additional gain from 1440p to 1080p. This pattern indicates that at Ultra settings, the GPU is heavily utilized even at 1440p, and the move to 1080p yields diminishing returns because the CPU begins to assert its influence. The Ryzen 5 7600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads boosting to 5.10 GHz, is capable, but it lacks the raw multi-threaded dominance of higher-core-count parts; its 3DMark max-thread score of 6,503 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,992 show solid but not exceptional throughput.

At Low settings, the scaling is more dramatic. The system hits 176.8 FPS at 4K, 209.6 FPS at 1440p, and 237.9 FPS at 1080p. The jump from 4K to 1440p is 18.6%, and from 1440p to 1080p is 13.5%. This steeper overall curve suggests that at Low settings, the workload is less GPU-bound, and the CPU’s single-thread performance—evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and PassMark single-thread score of 3,910—becomes more relevant. The data shows that the limiting component shifts depending on settings: at Ultra, the GPU is the bottleneck across all resolutions; at Low, the CPU starts to cap frame rates at 1080p, preventing the system from pushing well beyond 240 FPS. The 237.9 FPS at 1080p Low is the ceiling for this pairing, and it aligns with the CPU’s PassMark multithread score of 27,058, which is competitive but not class-leading.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal balance of visual fidelity and frame rate lies at the High preset. At 1440p High, the system delivers 119.6 FPS, which is well above the 100 FPS threshold that most action-game players consider smooth, while still providing a substantial visual upgrade over Medium’s 129.1 FPS. The difference between High and Medium at 1440p is only 9.5 FPS, so the visual gains from High are nearly free in performance terms. At 4K, High yields 102.3 FPS, which is just above the 100 FPS mark, making it a viable option for users with high-refresh 4K displays. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 88.4 FPS, which may be acceptable for slower-paced scenes but risks noticeable stutter in fast action sequences.

For competitive players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p offers 237.9 FPS, which is ideal for 240 Hz monitors. However, the jump from Low to Medium at 1080p only costs 87.9 FPS (from 237.9 to 150.0), which is a significant performance hit for modest fidelity gains. The data suggests that Medium is a poor middle ground at 1080p, as it sacrifices too much performance relative to Low without delivering the visual polish of High. The High preset at 1080p, at 138.3 FPS, is a reasonable compromise for those who want both quality and speed, but the 1440p High option at 119.6 FPS provides a better resolution-to-performance ratio. Overall, the recommendation is to target 1440p High for the best experience, with 4K High as a fallback for users with higher-resolution displays who can tolerate slightly lower frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system’s performance spans a wide range depending on settings. The Low preset produces 237.9 FPS, which is the highest frame rate recorded across all configurations. Medium drops to 150.0 FPS, a 37% reduction, while High delivers 138.3 FPS and Ultra falls to 111.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 126.5 FPS, indicating that Overpower’s settings have a profound impact on GPU load at this resolution. The 1080p results show that the CPU is not a limiting factor at any preset, as even the Ultra setting achieves over 110 FPS, leaving headroom for the GPU to flex its muscles.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain consistently high. Low settings produce 209.6 FPS, which is still above the 200 FPS mark, while Medium yields 129.1 FPS and High delivers 119.6 FPS. Ultra at 1440p brings the system to 104.1 FPS, just crossing the 100 FPS line. The gap between Low and Medium at 1440p is 80.5 FPS, which is substantial, but the difference between Medium and High is only 9.5 FPS, suggesting that the High preset is a more efficient use of GPU resources. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at High is a 13.5% drop (from 138.3 to 119.6), which is modest and indicates that the GPU has enough bandwidth and compute to handle the extra pixels without a dramatic penalty.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers playable frame rates across all presets. Low settings hit 176.8 FPS, which is impressive for 4K and shows the GPU’s raw power. Medium drops to 110.2 FPS, and High is close behind at 102.3 FPS. Ultra at 4K yields 88.4 FPS, which is the lowest recorded result but still above the 60 FPS baseline for smooth gameplay. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at High is a 14.5% reduction (from 119.6 to 102.3), which is consistent with the resolution increase. The data shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for 4K Ultra in Overpower, as the frame rate remains respectable despite the heavy load. The 4K Low result of 176.8 FPS is particularly notable, as it demonstrates that the GPU can drive high refresh rates even at this demanding resolution when settings are reduced. Overall, the measured FPS breakdown confirms that this combo is versatile, capable of hitting high refresh rates at 1080p and maintaining smooth 4K gameplay with judicious settings adjustments.
