Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Radeon RX 6600 XT combination lands at rank 1285 out of 1744 tested combos in Overpower. That places the pairing in the lower-mid pack of the database, with roughly 74% of tested systems posting higher average frame rates. The ranking reflects a balanced but modest duo: the CPU holds an 84th percentile standing among all processors, while the GPU sits at the 71st percentile among all graphics cards. Neither component is a weak link in absolute terms, but the combo’s overall position suggests it trails the field in this action title, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU’s mid-range positioning becomes more pronounced.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s 1285th-place finish out of 1744 combinations puts it just inside the bottom third of the tested pool. In percentile terms, that means roughly 73.7% of all tested pairings outperform it in Overpower’s average FPS. The data shows a system that can handle the game comfortably at most settings, but it is not built for chasing top-tier leaderboard positions.

The CPU’s 84th percentile rank among all processors is stronger than the GPU’s 71st percentile standing among all graphics cards. This gap hints that the graphics card is the more limiting factor of the two, a pattern that becomes clearer in the resolution scaling analysis. The processor’s nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark scores include the Intel Core i9-9900K (0.7% higher average score), Intel Core i7-12700H (0.8% higher), Intel Core i7-1370P (0.8% higher), and AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 (1.2% higher). These are tight margins—well within a couple of percentage points—so the CPU is not leaving meaningful performance on the table relative to its direct competitors.

On the GPU side, the RX 6600 XT’s nearest rivals show similarly narrow deltas: the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti is just 0.1% higher, the AMD Radeon R9 M395X is 0.4% higher, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is 0.9% lower and the AMD FirePro S7150 is 1.5% lower. The GPU sits in a crowded performance band where tiny benchmark differences translate to nearly identical real-world results. For Overpower, the combination’s rank is therefore more a function of the GPU’s mid-pack standing than any CPU deficiency.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 brings 8 cores and 16 threads to the pairing, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It is built on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) using TSMC’s 7 nm process, with 16 MB of L3 cache and 64 KB L1 plus 512 KB L2 per core. This is a desktop-oriented chip on the AM4 socket, supporting DDR4 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

For a game like Overpower, the CPU’s multi-threaded capacity is ample. Benchmark results show a 3DMark 16-thread score of 6628 and a max-thread score of 6617, indicating that the chip scales well across its full core count. Single-thread performance is solid but not exceptional, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 901 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2916. In aggregate, the CPU’s average benchmark score of 27220 places it just 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K’s 27043 average—a statistically negligible gap.

The CPU’s 84th percentile rank means it outperforms most processors in the database, but in Overpower the measured FPS figures suggest the game does not heavily stress the processor. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 127.3 FPS, which is close to what a mid-range GPU can deliver in an action title. The CPU’s 16 threads and 4.60 GHz boost clock provide enough headroom that frame rate drops at higher settings and resolutions are more attributable to the GPU’s workload than to CPU bottlenecks. The 65 W TDP and PCIe Gen 3 interface (20 lanes CPU-only) are modest, but they do not appear to constrain performance in this title based on the measured data.

FAQ

Q: How does the Ryzen 7 5700 compare to its closest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700 posts an average benchmark score of 27220, which is 0.7% higher than the Core i9-9900K’s 27043. This is a negligible difference, meaning the two CPUs perform effectively identically in aggregate benchmarks.

Q: What is the RX 6600 XT’s standing relative to the RTX 3070?

A: The RX 6600 XT has an average benchmark score of 27985, while the RTX 3070 scores 28238. The RTX 3070 is 0.9% higher, which is a small but consistent edge for the NVIDIA card across the benchmark suite.

Q: What frame rate can the combo achieve at 1080p Ultra?

A: At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the measured average FPS is 61.9. This is just above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating playable but not high-refresh performance at maximum quality.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU at high resolutions?

A: Benchmark results indicate the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 48.8, while the CPU’s strong multi-threaded scores (Cinebench R23 multicore of 20655) suggest it is not the primary constraint in this scenario.

*Q: How does the combo rank among all tested systems in Overpower?*

A: The pairing ranks 1285th out of 1744 tested combinations. This places it in the lower third of the database, with the CPU and GPU both sitting in the 70th-84th percentile ranges individually.

Q: What is the difference in FPS between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Low settings yield 115.4 FPS on average, while Ultra settings drop to 54.8 FPS. This represents a 60.6 FPS difference, or roughly a 52.5% reduction when moving from minimum to maximum quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Overpower covers three resolutions and four quality presets, with all figures representing average frame rates. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 127.3 FPS on Low, 79.6 FPS on Medium, 73.1 FPS on High, and 61.9 FPS on Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is 65.4 FPS, with the largest single drop occurring from Low to Medium (47.7 FPS). This suggests that the game’s medium preset introduces significant rendering overhead relative to Low.

Moving to 2560x1440, the figures scale down as expected. Low settings produce 115.4 FPS, Medium drops to 74.4 FPS, High lands at 65.7 FPS, and Ultra falls to 54.8 FPS. The Low-to-Medium gap here is 41.0 FPS, slightly smaller than at 1080p, indicating that resolution scaling is compressing the differences between presets. The High-to-Ultra drop is 10.9 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the 1080p behavior.

At 3840x2160, the combo starts to struggle with higher quality settings. Low still manages 96.3 FPS, but Medium drops to 64.1 FPS, High falls to 56.3 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 48.8 FPS. The Low-to-Medium drop is 32.2 FPS, the Medium-to-High drop is 7.8 FPS, and the High-to-Ultra drop is 7.5 FPS. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck: the RX 6600 XT’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth is being pushed hard, and the frame rates reflect that constraint.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K reveals how the combo balances CPU and GPU workloads. At 1080p Low, the system delivers 127.3 FPS; at 4K Low, that drops to 96.3 FPS, a reduction of 31.0 FPS or roughly 24.4%. This relatively modest decline suggests the CPU is doing more of the heavy lifting at lower resolutions, where the GPU has spare capacity. The RX 6600 XT’s 10.60 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 331.4 GTexel/s texture rate are sufficient to keep up with the CPU at 1080p.

The picture changes dramatically at Ultra settings. At 1080p Ultra, the combo hits 61.9 FPS; at 4K Ultra, it falls to 48.8 FPS, a 13.1 FPS drop or about 21.2%. The absolute decline is smaller than at Low settings, but the percentage loss is similar, indicating that the GPU is the limiting component across all presets. The GPU’s 64 ROPs and 165.7 GPixel/s pixel rate are the likely constraints at 4K, where pixel fill requirements scale quadratically with resolution.

The most telling data point is the 1440p to 4K transition at Medium settings. At 1440p Medium, the combo achieves 74.4 FPS; at 4K Medium, it drops to 64.1 FPS, a 10.3 FPS reduction. This 13.8% loss is smaller than the 1080p-to-1440p drop at the same settings (79.6 to 74.4, a 5.2 FPS or 6.5% decrease). The pattern suggests that as resolution increases, the CPU’s role diminishes and the GPU becomes the sole determinant of frame rate. The Ryzen 7 5700’s 16 threads and 4.60 GHz boost clock provide ample headroom even at 4K, so the measured FPS declines are almost entirely attributable to the RX 6600 XT’s mid-range positioning. In short, this combo is CPU-sufficient but GPU-limited, and the frame rate scales accordingly with resolution.
