Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Overpower, but the data shows that 4K Ultra is where this combination begins to struggle. This pairing ranks 1069th out of 1744 tested combos in the game, placing it in the lower half of the database. The benchmark results indicate a system that is well-balanced at lower resolutions but becomes heavily GPU-limited as pixel count and visual fidelity increase.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 140.9 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that figure to 125.1 FPS, a reduction of 15.8 FPS. The jump to 4K Low brings the average down to 105.9 FPS. This progression shows that even at the lowest settings, the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the frame rate declines by roughly 11-15% with each step up in resolution.

The scaling behavior changes dramatically when settings are raised. At High settings, the frame rate falls from 84.8 FPS at 1080p to 73.7 FPS at 1440p, and then to 63 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K is 10.7 FPS, which is proportionally larger than the 11.1 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p. This suggests that the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus are being saturated at 4K, causing the frame rate to fall off more steeply at higher resolutions.

Ultra settings amplify the issue further. The combo manages 68.9 FPS at 1080p, drops to 58.8 FPS at 1440p, and falls to 54.7 FPS at 4K Ultra. The gap between 1080p and 4K Ultra is 14.2 FPS, which is the largest absolute difference across all settings. This indicates that the Turing architecture's 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is insufficient to maintain high frame rates when both resolution and graphical load are maximized. The data suggests that for smooth 4K play, users should stick to Medium or Low settings, where the combo still delivers 70.3 and 105.9 FPS respectively.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Overpower?*

A: Based on the data, 1440p offers the best balance. At Medium settings, it achieves 77.8 FPS, which is only 11.6 FPS lower than the 1080p Medium result of 89.4 FPS. The 4K Medium score of 70.3 FPS is playable, but the 1440p High result of 73.7 FPS provides a better visual experience with only a 4 FPS penalty.

Q: How does the CPU perform relative to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 5800X has an average benchmark score of 27606 and ranks in the 84th percentile among all CPUs. It is 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800, 0.4% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE, 0.4% behind the Intel Core i7-13700H, and 0.8% behind the Intel Core i5-12600KF. These deltaPct values are all within a single percentage point, indicating near-identical performance among these processors.

Q: Is the RTX 2070 SUPER a bottleneck for the 5800X?

A: The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23571 and Passmark multithread score of 27732 are strong, while the GPU's Passmark G3D score of 18169 is modest. The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a consistent decline, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming?

A: Yes, but with compromises. At 4K Low, it delivers 105.9 FPS, and at 4K Medium, it hits 70.3 FPS. However, 4K High (63 FPS) and 4K Ultra (54.7 FPS) fall below the 60 FPS threshold, making them less ideal for fast-paced action games.

Q: How does the GPU compare to its closest rivals?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 22206 and ranks in the 65th percentile among all GPUs. It is 0.5% behind the NVIDIA RTX A400, 0.9% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z, 2.3% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile, and 2.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700.

Q: What settings provide the best performance at 1080p?

A: For maximum frame rates, Low settings yield 140.9 FPS. Medium (89.4 FPS) and High (84.8 FPS) are close, while Ultra (68.9 FPS) is the most demanding. The difference between Medium and High is only 4.6 FPS, so High is recommended for better visuals without a significant performance hit.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1069 out of 1744 tested combinations places it in the bottom 40% of all pairings. This is a telling statistic for a system featuring a CPU that ranks in the 84th percentile and a GPU in the 65th percentile. The discrepancy between the component-level percentiles and the combo-level rank suggests that while each part is individually capable, their combined performance in Overpower is not exceptional.

The CPU's nearest rivals all have average scores within 1% of the 5800X, with the Intel Core i5-12600KF leading at 27827. The GPU's rivals show more variance, with the RTX 4060 Mobile being 2.3% faster and the RX 5700 being 2.5% slower. When these components are paired, the result is a system that performs adequately but does not stand out in the database.

The rank suggests that many other combinations of CPUs and GPUs produce higher frame rates in Overpower. This is likely due to the RTX 2070 SUPER's age, as it is from the Turing generation and has been succeeded by the GeForce 30 series. The GPU's 12 nm process node and 13,600 million transistors are less efficient than newer designs, which may contribute to its mid-pack positioning despite the 5800X's strong showing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 140.9 FPS on Low, 89.4 FPS on Medium, 84.8 FPS on High, and 68.9 FPS on Ultra. The jump from Low to Medium is substantial at 51.5 FPS, while the progression from Medium to High is minimal at 4.6 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs 15.9 FPS, indicating that Ultra settings impose a heavy load. The 1080p results are consistently above 60 FPS, making this resolution the most comfortable for the combo.

At 2560x1440, the scores are 125.1 FPS on Low, 77.8 FPS on Medium, 73.7 FPS on High, and 58.8 FPS on Ultra. The Low setting remains highly playable, and Medium/High are within a narrow 4.1 FPS band. Ultra drops below 60 FPS, which may cause noticeable stuttering in action sequences. The 1440p results show a similar pattern to 1080p, with a large drop from Low to Medium and a smaller difference between Medium and High.

At 3840x2160, the combo produces 105.9 FPS on Low, 70.3 FPS on Medium, 63 FPS on High, and 54.7 FPS on Ultra. This is the only resolution where even High settings fail to reach 60 FPS. The Low setting remains fluid, but the gap between Low and Medium is 35.6 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra is only 8.3 FPS, suggesting that the GPU is approaching its architectural limits at this resolution. The data shows that 4K gaming is possible but requires careful setting selection to avoid frame rate dips.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the dominant component in determining frame rates in Overpower. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but becomes strained at 4K. The GPU's base clock of 1605 MHz and boost clock of 1770 MHz are modest by modern standards, and the 12 nm process node limits efficiency.

The GPU's architecture features 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, along with 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. These specifications support DirectX 12 Ultimate, which is relevant for Overpower's modern rendering features. The pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s are adequate for the game's demands at lower resolutions but insufficient for 4K Ultra.

The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 18169 places it in the 65th percentile, which aligns with its measured performance. The FP32 compute of 9.062 TFLOPS is the key constraint at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops consistently from 140.9 FPS at 1080p Low to 54.7 FPS at 4K Ultra. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s is likely the secondary bottleneck, given the steep declines seen when moving from 1440p to 4K. The GPU's TDP of 215 W and dual-slot design suggest it is a power-hungry part, but the benchmark results focus on its computational output rather than efficiency. Overall, the RTX 2070 SUPER is a capable mid-range card that delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but it is clearly outclassed at 4K in this action title.
