Overpower

The Overpower benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER reveals a system with substantial headroom at lower resolutions, but one that becomes progressively more GPU-bound as pixel count climbs. The measured frame rates across the three primary resolutions and four quality presets paint a clear picture of where this combination excels and where its limitations surface.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 and finally to 3840x2160 demonstrates a predictable scaling pattern, though the magnitude of the drops varies significantly by settings preset. At Low settings, the system delivers 218.1 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 209.4 FPS at 1440p—a modest decline of roughly 4%. However, moving to 4K at Low settings yields 180.6 FPS, representing a more substantial 17% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This suggests that even at Low settings, the GPU begins to feel the pressure of 4K rendering, though the frame rates remain exceptionally high.

The scaling behavior at Ultra settings tells a different story. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 114.9 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, that figure falls to 99.8 FPS, a 13% drop. The jump to 4K Ultra brings the average down to 88.9 FPS, which is a 23% reduction from 1080p Ultra. This steeper decline at higher settings indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER's rendering load becomes the dominant factor, with the Ryzen 7 5700G’s 8-core, 16-thread configuration providing sufficient instruction throughput to avoid becoming the bottleneck.

The Medium and High presets occupy the middle ground. At 1080p Medium, the system hits 145.7 FPS, dropping to 130.6 FPS at 1440p and 109.3 FPS at 4K. High settings follow a similar trajectory: 138 FPS at 1080p, 122.3 FPS at 1440p, and 101.9 FPS at 4K. The consistent pattern across all presets—where the 1080p to 1440p drop is smaller than the 1440p to 4K drop—points to a system that remains CPU-capable even at lower resolutions but transitions to a GPU-limited state as resolution increases. The data shows that at 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra narrows to just 91.7 FPS, compared to a 103.2 FPS gap at 1080p, further confirming that pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves adequate for Overpower’s demands across all tested settings, as evidenced by the absence of any anomalous frame rate collapses that would indicate VRAM capacity issues. The GPU’s boost clock of 2475 MHz, combined with its 7168 shading units and 224 texture mapping units, provides the raw compute necessary to drive the frame rates observed in the benchmark data.

The GPU’s role becomes more pronounced as settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the system produces 88.9 FPS, which while playable, sits notably below the 114.9 FPS achieved at 1080p Ultra. This 26 FPS difference at Ultra settings is nearly double the 13.5 FPS difference observed at Low settings between the same resolutions. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 80 ROPs are clearly being taxed more heavily at higher quality presets, where pixel shading and texture work increase substantially.

Interestingly, the GPU’s performance profile relative to its peers shows a balanced position. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s average benchmark score of 42576 places it within a tight cluster of competitors: it trails the NVIDIA RTX A6000 by 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%. This near-parity with the A6000, a professional-grade card, underscores the 4070 SUPER’s efficiency in gaming workloads like Overpower. The GPU’s 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs further contextualizes its standing, though the measured FPS data suggests it performs admirably in this specific title.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 1744 tested combinations in the Overpower database, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a rank of 289. This places it in the top 16.6% of all tested combos, a strong showing that reflects the synergy between the CPU and GPU. The Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, provides solid multi-threaded performance that complements the GPU’s capabilities.

The CPU’s benchmark scores support this ranking. Its 3DMark multi-threaded score of 6629 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 indicate robust processing power that prevents CPU bottlenecks in most gaming scenarios. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25626, places it in close competition with other processors: it sits 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, 0.4% ahead of the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core 5 210H.

The combination’s rank of 289 out of 1744 suggests that while the RTX 4070 SUPER is a high-tier GPU, the Ryzen 7 5700G holds the system back from reaching the absolute top tier of Overpower performance. Systems paired with newer or higher-clocked CPUs likely achieve better frame rates, particularly at 1080p where CPU overhead is more significant. However, at 4K Ultra, where the GPU dominates the workload, this combo’s rank would likely be more favorable relative to other pairings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on the optimal settings for various display configurations. For 4K displays, the High preset at 101.9 FPS offers the best balance between visual fidelity and smoothness, comfortably exceeding the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining quality. The Ultra preset at 88.9 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing maximum visual detail, but the 13 FPS penalty over High may not justify the additional graphical demands for most users.

At 1440p, the Medium preset at 130.6 FPS and High preset at 122.3 FPS both deliver excellent experiences, with the choice between them depending on whether visual quality or higher frame rates take precedence. The High preset’s 122.3 FPS is particularly well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors, while Medium provides additional headroom for competitive play.

For 1080p, the Ultra preset at 114.9 FPS represents the sweet spot for most users, delivering near-maximum visual quality while maintaining frame rates well above 100 FPS. The Low preset’s 218.1 FPS is available for esports-focused players seeking maximum responsiveness, but the visual downgrade from Ultra is substantial. The Medium preset at 145.7 FPS offers a middle ground, though the jump to Ultra is relatively small in cost.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce 218.1 FPS average, Medium achieves 145.7 FPS, High reaches 138 FPS, and Ultra hits 114.9 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra spans 103.2 FPS, indicating that Overpower scales significantly with quality settings at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain robust. Low settings yield 209.4 FPS, a reduction of just 8.7 FPS from 1080p. Medium drops to 130.6 FPS, a 15.1 FPS decrease. High settings produce 122.3 FPS, down 15.7 FPS, while Ultra achieves 99.8 FPS, a 15.1 FPS reduction. The consistency of these drops across presets suggests the GPU handles the additional pixel load uniformly.

At 3840x2160, the performance impact becomes more pronounced. Low settings still deliver a highly playable 180.6 FPS, but this represents a 37.5 FPS drop from 1080p Low. Medium settings produce 109.3 FPS, a 36.4 FPS decrease. High settings achieve 101.9 FPS, down 36.1 FPS from 1080p High. Ultra settings hit 88.9 FPS, a 26 FPS reduction. The smaller absolute drop at Ultra settings (26 FPS) compared to Low settings (37.5 FPS) indicates that at higher quality presets, the GPU’s workload is already substantial at 1080p, so the additional resolution increase has a proportionally smaller impact.
