Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination lands at rank 783 out of 1744 tested combos in Overpower, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. This is a measured configuration, meaning the frame rates below are actual recorded results rather than estimates. The pairing of an 8-core Zen 3 processor with an Ampere-generation GPU produces a balanced platform that keeps average frame rates playable across all tested settings, though the data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution increases.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s position at 783 out of 1744 represents a solid mid-pack finish, with roughly 55% of tested configurations ranking above it and 45% below. This placement is driven by the individual component scores: the CPU sits in the 84th percentile among all processors, while the GPU ranks in the 72nd percentile among all graphics cards. The gap between these percentiles suggests the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing, particularly at higher resolutions where GPU workload dominates. In the context of the database, this combo outperforms many older or lower-tier pairings but does not challenge the top configurations that combine flagship GPUs with high-end CPUs. The rank reflects a machine that is genuinely capable for this action title, but the measured FPS data shows that it is not a top-tier performer at maximum settings, especially when pushing 4K Ultra. The fact that the CPU’s percentile ranking is notably higher than the GPU’s indicates the processor has headroom to spare, while the RTX 3070 is doing the heavy lifting in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture using Samsung’s 8 nm process, with a GA104 chip containing 17,400 million transistors. Its memory configuration is 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is a critical asset for Overpower’s texture-heavy scenes. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz, while the memory runs at 1750 MHz, effectively 14 Gbps. These clocks, combined with 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units, deliver a peak FP32 throughput of 20.31 TFLOPS. In benchmark results, the GPU scores 22214 in Passmark G3D and 28238 in average benchmark score, placing it in the 72nd percentile. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which is 0.9% behind, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which is 1% behind, while the AMD FirePro S7150 is 0.6% ahead and the AMD Radeon R9 M295X is 1.1% ahead. These small deltas indicate the RTX 3070 sits in a tightly contested performance band. In Overpower specifically, the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at all settings, but at 4K Ultra the frame rate drops to 65 FPS, suggesting the memory capacity and bandwidth are being pushed near their limits.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 part on the Cezanne codename, fabricated on TSMC’s 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors. It provides 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache, which is modest by modern standards but adequate for gaming workloads. The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong: it achieves 20655 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2916 in single-core, while its average benchmark score is 27220, placing it in the 84th percentile. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K, which is 0.7% behind, and the Intel Core i7-12700H, which is 0.8% behind, along with the Intel Core i7-1370P at 0.8% behind and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 at 1.2% behind. These minimal deltas show the Ryzen 7 5700 is competitive with previous-generation high-end desktop and current mobile parts. In Overpower, the CPU’s 16 threads provide ample headroom, as evidenced by the fact that frame rates scale more with resolution than with core utilization. The processor’s single-thread score of 901 in 3DMark is particularly relevant for this action game, which likely relies on a few primary threads for game logic.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers its highest frame rates, with Low settings hitting 175.5 FPS, Medium at 112.1 FPS, High at 101 FPS, and Ultra at 84.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is substantial at 63.4 FPS, indicating that medium-level effects impose a significant load. The drop from Medium to High is only 11.1 FPS, while High to Ultra is 16.9 FPS, showing a steady performance degradation as settings increase. At 1440p, the numbers shift: Low produces 154 FPS, Medium 97.9 FPS, High 92.1 FPS, and Ultra 74.7 FPS. The step from Low to Medium at this resolution is 56.1 FPS, similar to the 1080p pattern, but the High to Ultra gap narrows to 17.4 FPS. At 4K, the results reveal the GPU’s strain: Low hits 129.4 FPS, Medium 85.8 FPS, High 77.2 FPS, and Ultra 65 FPS. The 4K Low result is notably strong, showing that even at this resolution, the GPU can maintain high frame rates when visual effects are reduced. However, the 4K Ultra figure of 65 FPS is the lowest in the entire dataset, suggesting that the combination of resolution and maximum settings creates a bottleneck that neither component can fully overcome.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear pattern of frame rate decline as resolution increases, but the rate of decline varies by settings level. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 21.5 FPS (from 175.5 to 154), and from 1440p to 4K is 24.6 FPS (from 154 to 129.4). This represents a total decrease of 46.1 FPS from 1080p to 4K, or roughly a 26% reduction. At Medium settings, the decline is steeper: 1080p to 1440p drops 14.2 FPS (from 112.1 to 97.9), and 1440p to 4K drops 12.1 FPS (from 97.9 to 85.8), totaling 26.3 FPS or about 23%. At High settings, the pattern is similar: 1080p to 1440p drops 8.9 FPS (from 101 to 92.1), and 1440p to 4K drops 14.9 FPS (from 92.1 to 77.2), totaling 23.8 FPS or about 24%. At Ultra settings, the decline is most pronounced: 1080p to 1440p drops 9.4 FPS (from 84.1 to 74.7), and 1440p to 4K drops 9.7 FPS (from 74.7 to 65), totaling 19.1 FPS or about 23%. These percentage reductions are relatively consistent across settings, indicating that the limiting component is the GPU, which must process more pixels at higher resolutions regardless of graphical complexity. The fact that the CPU’s percentile ranking (84th) is higher than the GPU’s (72nd) supports this interpretation: the Ryzen 7 5700 has sufficient compute headroom, while the RTX 3070’s memory bandwidth and shading capacity determine the frame rate ceiling. The 4K Ultra result of 65 FPS, while playable, is close to the edge of what would be considered smooth, and the 4K Low result of 129.4 FPS shows that the GPU can deliver high refresh rates when the load is reduced, confirming that resolution scaling is the primary performance factor in this pairing.
