GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, driving the high frame rates observed in Overpower. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, paired with a 512-bit memory bus, delivers a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. This immense bandwidth is crucial for high-resolution textures and data streaming in modern action games. The GPU’s base clock of 2017 MHz and boost clock of 2407 MHz allow it to sustain high throughput across all settings.

The RTX 5090 D’s specifications are staggering: 21760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. This hardware configuration translates to a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is rated at 104.8 TFLOPS, which is identical to its FP16 performance, indicating a 1:1 ratio. In Overpower, this power is evident—even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains an average of 119 FPS, showing the GPU is not severely bottlenecked by the CPU.

The GPU’s benchmark results reinforce its strength. It scores 14326 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 310674 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 376915 in Geekbench Vulkan. The PassMark G3D score of 44065 places it well above most competitors. Notably, its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT, has an average score of 76904, which is 1.1% lower, while the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79605, or 2.4% higher. This suggests the RTX 5090 D is a top-tier consumer GPU, with only specialized workstation cards exceeding it in raw compute benchmarks.

How This Combo Ranks

In Overpower, this combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D achieves a combo rank of 95 out of 2980 tested combos. This places it in the 95th percentile, meaning it outperforms 95% of all other CPU/GPU pairings tested in this game. The rank of 95 is exceptional, indicating that the system is capable of delivering near-flagship performance for this title.

The high rank is primarily attributable to the RTX 5090 D’s immense graphical power. While the Ryzen 7 5700X is a solid mid-range CPU, its percentile rank of 79 among all CPUs suggests it is not the limiting factor in this pairing. The combination’s ability to maintain above 119 FPS at 4K Ultra settings confirms the GPU’s headroom. It is worth remembering the combo rank of 95 is out of 2980, which implies that only 94 other combinations have produced higher scores in the database. This places the system firmly in the top 3.2% of all tested configurations, a remarkable achievement for a CPU that was released in 2022.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. The data is measured, not estimated, ensuring reliability.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 224 FPS (highest recorded)
• Medium: 187 FPS (min 159, max 215)
• High: 182 FPS
• Ultra: 157 FPS

At 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-limited. The jump from Low to Ultra costs 67 FPS, but even at Ultra, the system maintains a 157 FPS average. The 37 FPS difference between Low and Medium suggests the GPU is still powerful enough to handle the increased load without a proportional frame drop.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 216 FPS
• Medium: 180 FPS (min 153, max 207)
• High: 169 FPS
• Ultra: 140 FPS

At 1440p, the performance scales as expected. The gap between Low and Ultra is 76 FPS, which is larger than at 1080p, indicating the GPU is becoming more of a factor. The Medium setting shows a min FPS of 153, which is still well above the 144 FPS average of 4K High, showing the resolution’s impact.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 204 FPS
• Medium: 155 FPS (min 132, max 178)
• High: 144 FPS
• Ultra: 119 FPS (lowest recorded)

At 4K, the GPU is the definitive limiting factor. The 85 FPS difference between Low and Ultra is the largest of any resolution, demonstrating the GPU’s workload scaling. Even at the lowest setting, 204 FPS is achieved, which is higher than the 1080p Ultra score, highlighting the CPU’s ability to feed frames at high rates. The 4K Medium setting has a min FPS of 132, ensuring smooth gameplay even in demanding scenes.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, based on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer), is a 7 nm processor with 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The CPU has a 65 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. These specifications are typical for a mid-range desktop CPU, but its performance in Overpower is sufficient to keep up with the RTX 5090 D.

The CPU’s benchmark results show a balanced profile. It scores 13184 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 1499 in single-core. In 3DMark, it scores 6858 for 16 threads and 921 for single-thread. The PassMark multithread score is 26612, with a single-thread score of 3385. These scores place the CPU at the 79th percentile, with an average benchmark score of 27578. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12600K, has an identical average score of 27578, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is 0.2% lower (27535). This indicates the 5700X is a competitive mid-range option, though it is not a top-tier performer.

In Overpower, the CPU’s role becomes apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 224 FPS, but this is only 8 FPS higher than 1440p Low (216 FPS) and 20 FPS higher than 4K Low (204 FPS). This suggests that below 4K, the CPU is the primary bottleneck, as the GPU has ample headroom. The 16 threads and 32 MB of L3 cache are sufficient for the game’s threading model, but the 4.60 GHz boost clock is not enough to push frame rates significantly higher at 1080p.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user’s resolution and refresh rate. The data shows that the system is capable of high refresh rates at all settings, but the best experience is achieved by balancing visual quality with frame rate.

For 1080p (1920x1080): The High setting at 182 FPS is a sweet spot, offering a significant visual upgrade over Medium (187 FPS) with only a 5 FPS difference. Ultra is not recommended, as it drops to 157 FPS, a 25 FPS loss for marginal visual gains. For maximum competitive advantage, Low at 224 FPS is the best choice, but High provides a better visual experience with only a 42 FPS penalty.

For 1440p (2560x1440): The High setting at 169 FPS is the best balance. Medium (180 FPS) is only 11 FPS faster, while Ultra (140 FPS) is 29 FPS slower. The 1440p High setting provides a crisp image with a high frame rate that is suitable for most monitors. For users with 144 Hz displays, High is the clear choice, while those with 165 Hz or higher may prefer Medium.

For 4K (3840x2160): The High setting at 144 FPS is the recommended choice. Medium (155 FPS) is 11 FPS faster but offers a noticeable downgrade in visual fidelity. Ultra (119 FPS) is still playable but falls below 120 FPS, which may be a threshold for some users. The 4K High setting provides an excellent balance, achieving 144 FPS on a 144 Hz monitor, which is the ideal pairing for this resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component in this system. At Low settings, the performance drops from 224 FPS at 1080p to 204 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 20 FPS (8.9%). This small drop indicates that at Low settings, the CPU is the primary bottleneck, as the GPU has enough bandwidth and compute power to handle the 4K resolution without a significant frame rate penalty.

At Medium settings, the drop is more pronounced: 187 FPS at 1080p to 155 FPS at 4K, a decrease of 32 FPS (17.1%). This suggests the GPU is starting to become a factor, as the increased texture detail and shading load at 4K begin to tax the RTX 5090 D. At High settings, the drop is from 182 FPS to 144 FPS, a loss of 38 FPS (20.9%). The larger drop indicates that the GPU is now the primary limiting factor.

At Ultra settings, the drop is the most significant: 157 FPS at 1080p to 119 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 38 FPS (24.2%). This 38 FPS difference is consistent with the High setting, showing that the GPU is the bottleneck at these higher quality presets. The data clearly shows that while the CPU limits performance at Low settings, the GPU becomes the limiting factor as settings increase. The RTX 5090 D’s 32 GB VRAM ensures no memory-related stutters, but its raw compute power is what determines the frame rate at 4K Ultra. The system’s ability to maintain 119 FPS at 4K Ultra reflects the GPU’s strength, with the CPU providing just enough headroom to avoid being a bottleneck at this resolution.
