Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a robust 1080p experience in Overpower, but the data reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings, with the CPU’s strong multi-threaded performance providing a stable foundation across all tested configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and expected decline as resolution increases, but the magnitude of that decline varies significantly by settings preset. At Low settings, the system moves from 197.3 FPS at 1920x1080 to 187.4 FPS at 2560x1440, a drop of approximately 5%, and then to 179.7 FPS at 3840x2160, another 4% reduction. This relatively flat curve at Low settings strongly indicates that the CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is the primary limiting factor; the GPU has ample headroom to render frames quickly at lower pixel counts.

The scaling pattern changes dramatically when moving to Ultra settings. At 1920x1080 Ultra, the average FPS is 110.6. Stepping up to 2560x1440 Ultra reduces the average to 99.3 FPS, a decline of about 10%. The most significant drop occurs when jumping to 3840x2160 Ultra, where the average falls to 86.4 FPS, representing a 13% reduction from the 1440p figure. This steeper curve at higher settings suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 192-bit bus are being pushed harder, and the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck at 4K Ultra.

The High settings preset offers a middle ground. The transition from 1080p High (139.4 FPS) to 1440p High (123.8 FPS) results in an 11% performance hit, while moving from 1440p to 4K High (104 FPS) costs another 16%. This indicates that High settings strike a balance where both the CPU and GPU contribute to the frame rate, but the GPU load grows more rapidly with resolution. The data suggests that for players seeking maximum frame rates, Low settings at any resolution are CPU-bound, while Ultra settings at 4K are firmly GPU-bound.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features a base clock of 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz. These clock speeds, combined with 7168 shading units and 224 texture mapping units, provide the raw compute power necessary to handle Overpower's action sequences. The GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory operates at an effective speed of 21 Gbps across a 192-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. Benchmark results place this GPU in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576.

In Overpower, the GPU’s role is most apparent at the highest resolution. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the system produces 86.4 FPS, which is a 22% reduction compared to the 1080p Ultra result of 110.6 FPS. This gap reflects the increased memory pressure and pixel throughput demands at 4K. The GPU’s 80 ROPs and pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s are sufficient to maintain playable frame rates, but the data shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER is not over-provisioned for 4K Ultra in this title. Interestingly, the GPU’s performance relative to its nearest rivals is tight; 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% in average benchmark scores.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is a Vermeer-based processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. Its defining feature is the large 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is complemented by 512 KB of L2 cache per core. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 22366 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3157 in single-core, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 24673.

The CPU’s influence on Overpower is most evident at 1080p and Low settings. The system achieves 197.3 FPS at 1080p Low, and this only drops to 179.7 FPS at 4K Low. This relatively small 9% difference across a 4x increase in pixel count demonstrates that the CPU is the bottleneck at these settings; the GPU is capable of much higher frame rates but is held back by the processor’s instruction throughput. The 5700X3D’s multi-threaded scores, such as 26318 in Passmark multithread and 10108 in Geekbench multi-core, support its ability to feed the GPU adequately in less demanding scenarios. The CPU’s nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-1360P, scores 24627, a delta of 0.2%, showing near-parity in overall processing power.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS dataset for Overpower reveals a consistent hierarchy across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 197.3 FPS on Low, 147.4 FPS on Medium, 139.4 FPS on High, and 110.6 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Medium is 49.9 FPS, indicating a significant jump in visual complexity that the GPU must process, while the drop from High to Ultra is 28.8 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset adds substantial load.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates adjust to 187.4 FPS on Low, 130.8 FPS on Medium, 123.8 FPS on High, and 99.3 FPS on Ultra. The difference between Low and Medium at 1440p is 56.6 FPS, which is larger than the 1080p gap, suggesting that the GPU is beginning to feel the pressure of higher resolution combined with medium-quality effects. The 1440p High to Ultra transition costs 24.5 FPS, a smaller absolute drop than at 1080p, but the relative percentage is similar.

At 3840x2160, the system produces 179.7 FPS on Low, 113.3 FPS on Medium, 104 FPS on High, and 86.4 FPS on Ultra. The Low setting at 4K is remarkably close to the 1080p Low result, differing by only 17.6 FPS, which reinforces the CPU-bound nature of that preset. However, the Medium preset at 4K is 34% slower than its 1080p counterpart, and Ultra at 4K is 22% slower than 1080p Ultra. The data indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER can maintain high frame rates at 4K on lower presets, but for Ultra settings, players would need to accept sub-90 FPS performance.
