# Overpower with AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti delivers strong performance in Overpower, a 2023 action title that clearly rewards both high core counts and substantial graphics throughput. This combo ranks 451st out of 1,744 tested combinations, placing it in the upper quartile of all systems tested, with the CPU holding an 86th percentile ranking among all processors and the GPU sitting at the 83rd percentile among all graphics cards. The data reveals a system that maintains playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra settings, though the frame rate scaling suggests the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution climbs.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a clear and predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, but the magnitude of that drop varies significantly with quality settings. At Low settings, the system delivers 208.5 FPS at 1080p, which falls to 191 FPS at 1440p, and further to 162.2 FPS at 4K. That represents a 22.2% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings — a relatively modest decline that indicates the CPU is still contributing meaningfully to overall throughput at lower graphical loads.

Moving to Medium settings, the spread tightens: 129.8 FPS at 1080p, 115.7 FPS at 1440p, and 97.9 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K here is 24.6%, showing that the GPU is beginning to take on more responsibility for frame generation. At High settings, the pattern continues with 121.8 FPS at 1080p, 108.7 FPS at 1440p, and 92.3 FPS at 4K — a 24.2% reduction across the resolution scale.

Ultra settings produce the most dramatic scaling curve. The system hits 101.4 FPS at 1080p, 93.1 FPS at 1440p, and 78.9 FPS at 4K. The 22.2% drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is actually slightly less pronounced than at Medium or High settings, which suggests that at maximum quality, the graphical workload is so heavy that even 1080p is pushing the GPU near its limits. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is substantial — 208.5 FPS versus 101.4 FPS — demonstrating that Overpower's quality presets have a massive impact on rendering load.

The scaling data indicates that this combo is GPU-limited at 4K across all settings, with the RTX 3080 Ti's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 912.4 GB/s bandwidth becoming the decisive factor. At 1080p, particularly at Low settings, the Ryzen 7 5800XT's eight cores and 16 threads are able to feed frames faster than the GPU can render them, but as resolution climbs, the GPU's 34.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute becomes the bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

With a rank of 451 out of 1,744 tested combinations, this pairing sits comfortably in the top 26% of all systems tested in Overpower. The ranking reflects a balanced configuration where neither component dramatically outperforms the other, yet both are strong enough to deliver high-refresh-rate gameplay at mainstream resolutions.

The CPU's individual standing is noteworthy. The Ryzen 7 5800XT achieves an average benchmark score of 29,774, placing it in the 86th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in synthetic testing include the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE with an average score of 29,740 (0.1% behind), the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS at 29,856 (0.3% ahead), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 at 29,682 (0.1% behind), and the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H at 29,868 (0.3% ahead). These deltas are remarkably tight, indicating that the 5800XT is right at the edge of a cluster of similarly performing processors.

The GPU side shows a similar story. The RTX 3080 Ti's average benchmark score of 41,224 places it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 at 41,441 (0.5% ahead), the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 at 41,610 (0.9% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 at 41,687 (1.1% ahead), and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 at 41,897 (1.6% ahead). The 3080 Ti trails the RTX 5070 by just 1.1% in aggregate benchmarks, which is a modest gap considering the architectural differences between Ampere and newer designs.

In the context of Overpower specifically, the combo's 451st place ranking suggests that while the individual components are strong, the game's engine responds well to other configurations — likely those with more recent CPU architectures or higher-end GPUs that sit above the 3080 Ti in the performance hierarchy.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is built on the GA102 chip using Samsung's 8 nm process, packing 28,300 million transistors into a 628 mm² die. The card operates with a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, with memory running at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). These clocks, combined with the 10,240 shading units and 320 tensor cores, produce 34.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and a texture rate of 532.8 GTexel/s.

Memory configuration is a critical factor in Overpower's demanding scenes. The 12 GB GDDR6X frame buffer on a 384-bit bus delivers 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth, which helps explain why the system maintains respectable frame rates at 4K Ultra (78.9 FPS) despite the game's heavy visual load. The 80 RT cores and 112 ROPs contribute to the card's ability to handle the game's action sequences, though the data does not break down ray tracing performance separately.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 83 versus the CPU's 86 suggests that in synthetic benchmarks, the processor is slightly stronger relative to its peers than the graphics card is. However, in Overpower, the frame rate scaling across resolutions indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at higher quality settings. The card's end-of-life production status and its position between the GeForce 20 and GeForce 40 series generations place it as a mature product with well-established driver support.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 208.5 FPS, Medium achieves 129.8 FPS, High reaches 121.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 101.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution — 107.1 FPS — shows that Overpower's quality settings have a dramatic effect on rendering cost. Notably, the step from Low to Medium costs 78.7 FPS, while the step from Medium to High costs only 8 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 20.4 FPS. This suggests that Low settings remove significant graphical features that are re-enabled at Medium, while High and Ultra add progressively smaller increments of visual fidelity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong. Low settings hit 191 FPS, Medium delivers 115.7 FPS, High reaches 108.7 FPS, and Ultra produces 93.1 FPS. The 1440p results show a more even distribution of performance loss across settings — the Low to Medium drop is 75.3 FPS, Medium to High is 7 FPS, and High to Ultra is 15.6 FPS. The system remains well above 90 FPS even at Ultra, making 1440p high-refresh-rate gaming entirely feasible.

At 3840x2160, the system still holds playable frame rates across all settings. Low produces 162.2 FPS, Medium achieves 97.9 FPS, High reaches 92.3 FPS, and Ultra delivers 78.9 FPS. The 4K results indicate that the RTX 3080 Ti's memory bandwidth and compute capabilities are sufficient to keep Overpower fluid at maximum resolution, though Ultra settings dip below the 80 FPS threshold. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at each setting level shows consistent degradation: Low loses 46.3 FPS, Medium loses 31.9 FPS, High loses 29.5 FPS, and Ultra loses 22.5 FPS.
