Overpower

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER lands at rank 1065 out of 1744 tested combos in Overpower. That places it in the lower-middle portion of the field—roughly the 39th percentile of all combinations. This is not a top-tier pairing, but the data shows it is far from an outlier; it sits in a dense cluster where many mid-range systems converge.

The CPU itself carries a percentileVsAllCpus of 83, meaning it outperforms 83% of all processors in the database. The GPU, however, holds a percentileVsAllGpus of 65, which is notably weaker. The combination's rank reflects this imbalance: the processor is capable of pushing far beyond what the graphics card can deliver. In Overpower, an action title that appears to favor raw frame throughput, the GPU becomes the bottleneck at most settings. The combo's position in the rankings suggests that users with this pairing are leaving performance on the table—the CPU has headroom that the RTX 2070 SUPER simply cannot exploit in this game.

What is striking is the gap between the components' individual standings. A CPU at the 83rd percentile paired with a GPU at the 65th percentile should theoretically rank higher than 1065th place if the game were CPU-bound. The fact that it does not indicates Overpower leans heavily on graphics processing. The measured frames per second across all resolutions and settings reinforce this: the system behaves like a GPU-limited configuration, with the CPU rarely being the constraining factor.

# FAQ

Q: Is the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D holding back the RTX 2070 SUPER in Overpower?

A: No. The CPU's benchmark scores—such as a Cinebench R23 multicore result of 24063 and a Geekbench multicore of 11061—are strong. The data shows the GPU is the limiting component, as evidenced by the modest FPS gains when lowering resolution while keeping settings constant.

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

A: At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves 142 FPS average. This is the highest measured result. At 2560x1440 Low, it drops to 130.1 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low, it still manages 109.2 FPS. The data indicates 1080p is the sweet spot for maximum frame rates.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score is 22206, which is 0.5% lower than the NVIDIA RTX A400 (22307), 0.9% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (22006), 2.3% lower than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (22729), and 2.5% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (21670). These are close margins, indicating the 2070 SUPER sits in a competitive mid-range tier.

Q: Does the 8 GB VRAM cause issues at 4K?

A: The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 256-bit bus and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the system averages 52.6 FPS. While VRAM capacity is not directly measured in the FPS data, the significant drop from High (64.5 FPS) to Ultra (52.6 FPS) at 4K suggests that higher settings place heavy demands on the memory subsystem.

Q: Can this combo achieve 60 FPS at 4K?

A: Yes, but only at High settings. The measured average at 3840x2160 High is 64.5 FPS. At Medium, it drops to 67 FPS, which is also above 60, but at Ultra it falls to 52.6 FPS. Low settings at 4K produce 109.2 FPS, though that setting is unlikely to be visually desirable for an action game.

Q: What does the combo rank of 1065 out of 1744 imply for gameplay?

A: It implies a mid-pack experience. Roughly 61% of tested combos perform better in Overpower. The system is not at the bottom, but it is far from competitive with high-end builds. For a game released in 2023-08-14, this pairing represents a previous-generation GPU with a current-generation CPU, resulting in an asymmetric performance profile.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture, fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC with 13,600 million transistors on a 545 mm² die. Its base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The 8 GB GDDR6 memory operates across a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

These specifications directly shape Overpower's results. The FP32 compute throughput is 9.062 TFLOPS, which is modest by modern standards but sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s provide the raw fill rates needed for an action game with fast-moving scenery. The 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present, but Overpower's measured FPS data does not distinguish between ray-traced and rasterized workloads; the results likely reflect standard rendering.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 22206, with a percentileVsAllGpus of 65. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307, a delta of -0.5%. The AMD Radeon RX 5700 trails at 21670, a 2.5% deficit. These numbers place the 2070 SUPER in a tightly contested tier where small architectural differences determine ranking. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result of 52.6 FPS suggests the memory bandwidth and capacity are stretched at higher resolutions and settings.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The data provides 12 measured FPS points across four resolutions and four settings levels. Each entry is an average frame rate with no minimum or maximum values recorded, so the analysis focuses on mean performance.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers 142 FPS on Low, 86.5 FPS on Medium, 84.1 FPS on High, and 66.1 FPS on Ultra. The jump from Low to Medium is substantial—a drop of 55.5 FPS—while the transition from Medium to High is marginal at 2.4 FPS. Moving to Ultra costs another 18 FPS. This pattern indicates that Low settings unlock the CPU's potential, while Medium and above increasingly tax the GPU.

At 2560x1440, the results are 130.1 FPS on Low, 76.8 FPS on Medium, 71.6 FPS on High, and 63.6 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Medium widens to 53.3 FPS, and the drop from High to Ultra is 8 FPS. The 1440p numbers are consistently lower than 1080p, but the relative ordering remains stable.

At 3840x2160, the system averages 109.2 FPS on Low, 67 FPS on Medium, 64.5 FPS on High, and 52.6 FPS on Ultra. The Low setting still manages above 100 FPS, which is notable for 4K, but the Medium and High results cluster closely within 2.5 FPS of each other. The Ultra setting falls below 60 FPS, indicating that this resolution and setting combination is the most demanding.

# Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck lies. At Low settings, 1080p yields 142 FPS, 1440p yields 130.1 FPS, and 4K yields 109.2 FPS. That is a 23.1% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the drop is from 86.5 to 76.8 to 67 FPS—a 22.5% reduction. At High settings, it goes from 84.1 to 71.6 to 64.5 FPS, a 23.3% reduction. At Ultra, the numbers are 66.1, 63.6, and 52.6 FPS, a 20.4% reduction.

These consistent reductions of roughly 20-23% across all settings suggest the scaling is primarily GPU-driven. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain flat as resolution increases. Instead, the frame rate drops steadily, indicating the RTX 2070 SUPER's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB capacity are adequate for 1080p, but the 4K results show the GPU struggling to maintain the same efficiency.

Interestingly, the Low setting at 4K (109.2 FPS) outperforms the Ultra setting at 1080p (66.1 FPS). This implies that lowering settings has a more significant impact than lowering resolution, which is consistent with a GPU that has enough raw compute but limited memory resources. The 12 nm process and 9.062 TFLOPS FP32 performance are the likely constraints.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal experience depends on the target resolution and frame rate priority. For maximum smoothness at 1080p, Low settings deliver 142 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play in an action title. However, the jump from Low to Medium costs 55.5 FPS while presumably offering better visuals; the data suggests Medium at 86.5 FPS is a balanced choice for most users.

At 1440p, Low settings provide 130.1 FPS, which is still very playable. Medium drops to 76.8 FPS, which is acceptable but not ideal for fast-paced action. High at 71.6 FPS is close enough to Medium that the visual upgrade may be worth the small frame loss. Ultra at 63.6 FPS is borderline; it stays above 60 FPS but leaves little headroom for drops.

At 4K, Low settings achieve 109.2 FPS, which is surprisingly high for a 2070 SUPER. Medium at 67 FPS and High at 64.5 FPS are nearly identical, so High is the better choice if visuals matter. Ultra at 52.6 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it the least desirable option unless the user prioritizes image quality over frame rate.

The data implies that Medium or High settings at 1080p or 1440p provide the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. The Ultra preset consistently reduces FPS by roughly 15-20% compared to High, which may not justify the graphical gains in a fast-moving action game.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture with the Vermeer codename. It operates at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, with a TDP of 105 W. The processor features a unique 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is double the standard Zen 3 design, and supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth.

The CPU's benchmark results are robust: a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24063, a Geekbench multicore of 11061, and a Passmark multithread score of 28309. Single-thread performance is also solid, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2116 and a Cinebench R23 single-core of 3397. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7299 and max-thread score of 7285 indicate consistent scaling across threads.

In Overpower, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with enough data to maintain high frame rates. The 5800X3D's large L3 cache is particularly beneficial for gaming workloads that rely on repeated data access, but the measured FPS suggests this advantage is not fully utilized. At 1080p Low, the 142 FPS result shows the CPU can drive high frame rates, but the GPU's limits appear at higher settings. The 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for this action title, which likely does not require massive thread counts.

The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 83 places it well above average, and its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 8024P (0.1% higher), Intel Core i9-11900K (0.1% higher), AMD Ryzen 5 7600 (0.2% lower), and Intel Core i9-12900HK (0.4% lower). These are all capable processors, but the 5800X3D's 96 MB L3 cache gives it a unique edge in cache-sensitive scenarios. The data suggests that in Overpower, the CPU is not the limiting factor—the GPU's Turing architecture and 8 GB memory are. Users seeking higher frame rates would benefit more from a GPU upgrade than a CPU replacement, as the 5800X3D has demonstrated it can support frame rates well above what the RTX 2070 SUPER delivers in this game.
