Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination targets 1080p and 1440p gaming in Overpower, an action title released in 2023. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $170, and the GPU has a launch MSRP of 299 USD. Benchmark results show a mid-pack combo ranking, with the CPU sitting in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs and the GPU in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. Measured frame rates range from 57.1 FPS at 4K Ultra to 163.3 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating a system that can handle high refresh rates at lower resolutions but struggles to maintain 60 FPS at 4K with maximum settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 861 out of 1744 places it in the upper half of tested configurations, though not by a wide margin. The CPU's average benchmark score of 25064 and the GPU's average benchmark score of 30109 are both above the median for their respective component pools, but the game-specific ranking is lower than either component's percentile would suggest. This indicates that Overpower's performance is influenced by factors beyond raw compute, such as memory bandwidth, cache behavior, or specific engine optimizations. The CPU's nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, has an identical average score (deltaPct 0), while the GPU's nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, also shows a deltaPct of 0. These close matches suggest that the combo's performance in Overpower is consistent with its general benchmark standing, but the rank of 861 out of 1744 shows that many other combinations deliver higher frame rates in this particular title.

The CPU's 3DMark scores further contextualize its role. Its single-thread score of 951 and multi-thread score of 6091 indicate a balanced processor that can handle both lightly threaded and heavily threaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851 and single-core score of 2943 reinforce this picture. The CPU's boost clock of 4.70 GHz and base clock of 4.20 GHz, combined with a 65 W TDP, make it a power-efficient choice for gaming. However, the combo's rank in Overpower suggests that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck; the GPU's performance at higher resolutions is more decisive.

Resolution Scaling

Resolution scaling in Overpower shows a consistent decline in average FPS as resolution increases, across all four settings presets. At High settings, the average FPS is 96.2 at 1080p, 84.8 at 1440p, and 70.6 at 4K. At Low settings, the values are 163.3, 147, and 124.2. Medium settings produce 99.7, 88.9, and 77.3, while Ultra settings yield 78.4, 68.9, and 57.1. The pattern is uniform: each step up in resolution reduces frame rate, and the drop from 1440p to 4K is more pronounced than the drop from 1080p to 1440p in absolute terms. This behavior is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, where the graphics card's memory bandwidth and compute throughput become the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 163.3 FPS, indicating that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions. The fact that the 4K Ultra result falls to 57.1 FPS suggests that the GPU's 8 GB memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are stressed at that configuration.

The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by a 3DMark single-thread score of 951, is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking at 1080p, where the GPU is the primary constraint. The multi-thread score of 6091 also shows headroom for background tasks. The scaling pattern across resolutions is consistent with a mid-range GPU that delivers strong 1080p performance but cannot maintain high frame rates at 4K with maximum settings. The difference between Medium and High at 1080p is notable: Medium yields 99.7 FPS while High yields 96.2 FPS, a small but measurable gap that may reflect specific in-game settings. At 1440p, the same pattern holds, with Medium at 88.9 FPS and High at 84.8 FPS. At 4K, Medium (77.3 FPS) and High (70.6 FPS) both remain above 60 FPS, but Ultra drops below that threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 70.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 124.2 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 77.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 57.1 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 84.8 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 147 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 88.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 68.9 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 96.2 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 163.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 99.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 78.4 |

At 1080p, the system delivers playable frame rates across all settings, with the lowest being 78.4 FPS at Ultra and the highest 163.3 FPS at Low. At 1440p, the range narrows slightly, from 68.9 at Ultra to 147 at Low. At 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 57.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold often considered smooth for action games, while Low still manages 124.2 FPS. The data shows that the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K playable only at lower settings. The High preset at 1080p (96.2 FPS) is slightly lower than Medium (99.7 FPS), a quirk that may be due to specific graphical effects. At 1440p, the same relationship holds: High (84.8) is lower than Medium (88.9). At 4K, High (70.6) is also lower than Medium (77.3). This consistent pattern suggests that the High preset includes a setting that disproportionately impacts performance, though the exact cause is not identified in the data.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 brings 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 2280 MHz and boost clock is 2497 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). These specifications are reflected in the GPU's benchmark scores: a PassMark G3D score of 20891 and a PassMark GPU Compute score of 10899. The GPU's percentile ranking is 73, and its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, has a deltaPct of 0, indicating essentially identical average performance. In Overpower, the GPU's role is evident in the resolution scaling: the frame rate drops as resolution increases, and the 4K Ultra result of 57.1 FPS suggests that the 8 GB memory capacity and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but become a limiting factor at 4K. The boost clock of 2497 MHz allows the GPU to maintain high throughput in less demanding scenes, but the overall performance is consistent with its mid-range positioning.

The GPU's memory bus width of 128 bit, combined with GDDR7, achieves a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is adequate for the frame rates observed. The 8 GB capacity is a common configuration for this class, and the data shows that it does not cause a hard cap at 1080p or 1440p, as evidenced by the high FPS at Low settings. At 4K Ultra, the combination of higher memory pressure and increased compute load pushes the GPU to its limit, resulting in 57.1 FPS. The GPU's PassMark DirectX 12 score of 77 and DirectX 11 score of 200 are not directly comparable to the game's engine, but they indicate that the card supports modern APIs. The GPU's transistor count of 21,900 million and die size of 181 mm², built on a 5 nm process, are consistent with its performance tier. The 145 W TDP and suggested PSU of 300 W are modest, making this a power-efficient option for the observed performance.
