Overpower

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a high-performance foundation for Overpower, an action title released on 2023-08-14. Benchmark data shows this combination ranks 630th out of 3713 tested combos, placing it in the top tier of systems analyzed. The measured frame rates across resolutions and settings reveal a configuration that excels at high refresh rate gaming, though the data also exposes where each component carries the workload.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 214 FPS at 1080p to 178 FPS at 4K, representing a 16.8% reduction. This relatively modest decline suggests the system is not severely constrained by the GPU at lower settings, even at 4K resolution.

Moving to Medium settings, the scaling becomes more pronounced. At 1080p, the average is 147 FPS, dropping to 131 FPS at 1440p (a 10.9% decline) and then to 112 FPS at 4K (a 14.5% decline from 1440p). The min FPS values for Medium settings also decline from 125 FPS at 1080p to 111 FPS at 1440p and 95 FPS at 4K. This progressive drop indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER begins to feel the pixel count pressure as resolution climbs, but the frame rates remain highly playable throughout.

High settings tell a similar story. The average FPS goes from 137 at 1080p to 122 at 1440p (11% lower) and then to 103 at 4K (15.6% lower from 1440p). The scaling between 1440p and 4K is steeper than between 1080p and 1440p, which is expected given the 2.25x pixel increase at 4K compared to 1440p.

Ultra settings show the largest resolution sensitivity. The average FPS falls from 113 at 1080p to 101 at 1440p (10.6% drop) and then to 86 at 4K (14.9% drop from 1440p). At 4K Ultra, the system still manages 86 FPS average, indicating that even the most demanding preset remains playable on this hardware.

The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the system is often CPU-limited or at least balanced, because the FPS differences between settings are relatively small. For example, at 1440p, Low hits 206 FPS while High reaches 122 FPS — a 68% gap. At 4K, the same settings gap is 178 FPS versus 103 FPS, a 73% difference. This widening gap at higher resolutions points to the GPU becoming the primary limiter at 4K, while at lower resolutions the CPU's capability allows higher headroom.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz. The processor integrates 96 MB of shared L3 cache, a distinctive feature for this chip, alongside 64 KB L1 and 512 KB L2 per core. Its 7 nm process node and 8,850 million transistors contribute to a 105 W TDP.

Benchmark results for the 5800X3D show strong multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 14,317 multicore and 1,452 singlecore. Geekbench results are 11,765 multicore and 2,017 singlecore. PassMark multithread score reaches 28,309, while single-thread hits 3,234. The 3DMark tests show a scaling pattern from 1,746 for 2 threads to 7,299 for 16 threads, indicating efficient thread utilization.

The processor's percentile rank is 80 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27,896. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (avg score 27,887, delta 0%), Intel Core i9-10900K (avg score 27,872, delta 0.1%), AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (avg score 27,932, delta -0.1%), and Intel Core i5-12600KF (avg score 27,799, delta 0.3%). These deltas are extremely tight — within 0.3% — showing the 5800X3D sits at a performance parity point with several other processors.

In Overpower, the CPU's role appears significant at lower resolutions. The jump from 1080p Low (214 FPS) to 1440p Low (206 FPS) is only 3.7%, suggesting the CPU can feed frames quickly and the GPU has spare capacity at these settings. Even at 1080p Ultra, the system reaches 113 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. The 96 MB L3 cache likely helps with game data locality, reducing memory latency in a fast-paced action title.

However, the data also shows that at 4K, the CPU is less of a bottleneck. The FPS differences between 4K settings (86 to 178 FPS) are larger in absolute terms than at 1080p, implying the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The 5800X3D's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to keep up with the RTX 4070 SUPER across all tested settings, as evidenced by the absence of any sub-60 FPS averages even at 4K Ultra.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip on a 5 nm process from TSMC. It features 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The 12 GB GDDR6X memory sits on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The card's FP32 performance is 35.48 TFLOPS, with a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s.

The GPU's benchmark scores include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4,627, Geekbench OpenCL of 172,795, and Vulkan of 205,624. PassMark G3D reaches 29,995, while G2D is 1,184. The GPU compute score is 17,108. With a percentile rank of 83 among all GPUs and an average benchmark score of 43,223, the RTX 4070 SUPER sits slightly below the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (avg score 43,262, delta -0.1%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268, delta -0.1%), and NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43,301, delta -0.2%). The nearest rival above it is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile with an avg score of 43,667 and a delta of -1%.

In Overpower, the GPU's role is most evident at 4K and Ultra settings. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the tested presets, as no texture-related stutters or min FPS anomalies appear in the data. The min FPS values for Medium settings — 95 FPS at 4K, 111 FPS at 1440p, and 125 FPS at 1080p — show consistent frame delivery without major dips.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s appears adequate for this game. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 86 is still smooth, and the boost clock of 2475 MHz helps maintain performance. The data shows the GPU is the primary scaling factor from 1440p to 4K, where pixel count increases dramatically. The difference between 1440p High (122 FPS) and 4K High (103 FPS) is 15.6%, which aligns with the increased pixel workload.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience depends on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p displays with high refresh rates (144Hz or higher), Ultra settings at 113 FPS average provide the best visual quality while still exceeding 100 FPS. For 1440p displays, High settings at 122 FPS average offer an excellent balance, as Ultra drops to 101 FPS but remains smooth. For 4K displays, High settings at 103 FPS average deliver the best combination of visual fidelity and performance, since Ultra at 86 FPS is playable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes.

The Medium preset provides the most consistent frame pacing, as evidenced by the min/max data. At 1080p Medium, the range is 125-169 FPS, at 1440p Medium it is 111-151 FPS, and at 4K Medium it is 95-128 FPS. If frame time consistency is a priority, Medium is the safest choice. However, the High preset at 1440p (122 FPS) and 4K (103 FPS) offers superior visuals with only marginal FPS losses compared to Medium.

For competitive play where frame rate is paramount, Low settings at 1080p (214 FPS) or 1440p (206 FPS) maximize responsiveness. The data shows that Low settings at 1080p achieve the highest average FPS, and even at 4K Low, the system maintains 178 FPS. Given that the system never drops below 86 FPS average at any setting, users can prioritize visual quality without sacrificing playability. The recommended path is High settings at 1440p for the best overall experience, or Ultra at 1080p for maximum detail with high frame rates.
