Overpower

This analysis examines the performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER in the game Overpower. The data presented is based on measured FPS across multiple resolutions and settings presets. The objective is to interpret these results, contextualize them against rival components, and provide actionable settings guidance for users of this specific hardware combination.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data for this combo reveals a clear performance hierarchy across the four tested presets. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 143 FPS (Low), 89 FPS (Medium), 83 FPS (High), and 69 FPS (Ultra). The jump from Low to Medium represents a substantial 54 FPS increase in performance demand, while the transition from High to Ultra costs 14 FPS. For users prioritizing smoothness on standard monitors, the Low preset provides headroom well beyond typical 60 Hz or 144 Hz displays. However, the Medium preset, with an average of 89 FPS, offers a more balanced visual upgrade while still maintaining excellent fluidity.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts slightly. The averages are 127 FPS (Low), 79 FPS (Medium), 74 FPS (High), and 61 FPS (Ultra). The difference between Medium and High is only 5 FPS, making High a surprisingly efficient step up in visual quality at this resolution. The Ultra preset dips to 61 FPS, which is just at the threshold for smooth gameplay on a 60 Hz display but leaves no margin for demanding scenes.

The 3840x2160 results show a more constrained situation. Averages here are 108 FPS (Low), 68 FPS (Medium), 63 FPS (High), and 52 FPS (Ultra). While Low remains highly playable, the Medium and High presets are both hovering in the 60-70 FPS range, suggesting that this combo is becoming GPU-limited at 4K. The Ultra preset at 52 FPS is likely to feel inconsistent.

The data suggests that the Medium preset at 1920x1080 provides the most compelling experience. It delivers 89 FPS, which is 46 FPS higher than High and 20 FPS higher than Ultra, while the visual difference between Medium and High is often less perceptible in fast-paced action games. For 1440p, the High preset is the recommended choice, as its 74 FPS average is only 5 FPS below Medium but offers superior image quality. At 4K, users should stick to Low for competitive play or Medium for a more visually rich experience, given the 68 FPS average is still acceptable for most titles.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary driver of performance in Overpower, particularly at higher resolutions. This GPU features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The memory clock is listed at 1750 MHz, with an effective data rate of 14 Gbps. The GPU’s base clock is 1605 MHz, boosting to 1770 MHz. These specifications place the card in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20282.

Comparing to its nearest rivals, the RTX 2070 SUPER sits slightly below the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (deltaPct -1), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (deltaPct -1.2), the Intel Arc B570 (deltaPct -1.3), and the Intel Arc A750 (deltaPct -1.5). The performance deltas are minimal, all within 1.5% of each other. This indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is a very consistent performer relative to its peers, with no single rival having a decisive advantage.

The GPU’s VRAM capacity appears sufficient for the tested presets. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 52, which suggests the rendering load is heavily taxing the GPU’s compute units rather than being limited by memory capacity. The measured FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K at High settings shows a drop from 83 FPS to 63 FPS, a 20 FPS reduction. This is a moderate decline, indicating that the GPU is managing the increased pixel count but is nearing its limit. The 12 nm Turing architecture, with 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs, provides a peak pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s. These figures correlate well with the observed 4K performance, where the GPU is likely fill-rate limited in heavier scenes.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Phoenix. It operates with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. This CPU is built on a 4 nm process and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, offering a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. Its benchmark scores are strong for a mainstream desktop part, achieving a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851 and a single-core score of 2943. The CPU sits in the 77th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25005.

In the context of Overpower, the CPU’s role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo achieves 143 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU efficiently, as the graphics card is not fully saturated at these settings. The Ryzen 5 8400F’s single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 951, is likely a key factor in maintaining high minimum frame rates. The 16 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB per-core L2 cache help reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for game logic and physics.

Comparing to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 8400F is nearly identical in average score to the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (deltaPct 0.2), the Intel Core i7-11850H (deltaPct 0.3), and the Intel Core i7-13620H (deltaPct 0.4). It is slightly ahead of the AMD EPYC 9474F (deltaPct -0.4). These deltas are negligible, meaning that swapping to any of these CPUs would yield virtually the same performance in Overpower. The data indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck for this GPU at any tested resolution, as the FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent with GPU-bound behavior. Even at 1080p Low, where the CPU load is highest, the 143 FPS result shows no signs of a CPU-imposed ceiling.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Overpower, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER holds a rank of 2146 out of 3713 total combos. This places it in the upper-middle portion of the field, meaning it outperforms a majority of tested systems but is not among the top performers. The percentile rank is approximately 42.2% from the top, indicating that many high-end configurations with newer GPUs or more powerful CPUs will deliver higher frame rates.

The ranking is a direct result of the hardware’s capabilities. The RTX 2070 SUPER, while competent, is an older generation card that is now outpaced by more recent mid-range offerings. The CPU, however, is modern and capable, which helps mitigate some of the GPU’s age. The combo’s position in the 2146th spot suggests that it is a balanced system for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but it will not excel at 4K Ultra settings compared to more modern hardware. The data shows that this combo is better suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p or smooth 1440p gaming, rather than pushing maximum visual fidelity at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data provides clear evidence of how this combo scales across resolutions. For the Low preset, the average FPS drops from 143 at 1920x1080 to 127 at 2560x1440, and then to 108 at 3840x2160. This is a 35 FPS reduction from 1080p to 4K, representing a 24.5% decrease. This relatively modest drop indicates that even at 4K Low, the GPU is not completely overwhelmed, and the CPU continues to provide sufficient throughput.

For the Medium preset, the averages are 89 FPS at 1080p, 79 FPS at 1440p, and 68 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 21 FPS, or 23.6%. The High preset shows 83 FPS at 1080p, 74 FPS at 1440p, and 63 FPS at 4K, a 20 FPS reduction (24.1%). The Ultra preset has the lowest absolute numbers: 69 FPS at 1080p, 61 FPS at 1440p, and 52 FPS at 4K, a 17 FPS drop (24.6%).

The consistency of the percentage drop across all presets (approximately 24%) is a strong indicator of GPU-bound scaling. The RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting component, as the frame rate decreases proportionally with the increase in pixel count. The CPU’s performance is not degrading significantly at higher resolutions because the GPU is taking longer to render each frame, giving the CPU more time to prepare the next one. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p would be much smaller than the drop from 1440p to 4Kikuha. The data shows a linear scaling, confirming that the GPU is the primary constraint in this configuration.
