Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of scaling. At 1920x1080, the combo produces 234.6 FPS on Low, 149.4 FPS on Medium, 139.3 FPS on High, and 112.1 FPS on Ultra. The jump from Low to Medium is substantial (85.2 FPS), while the step from Medium to High is modest (10.1 FPS). The Ultra preset costs another 27.2 FPS over High.

At 2560x1440, the pattern is similar but compressed. Low yields 209.5 FPS, Medium 130.2 FPS, High 122.7 FPS, and Ultra 99.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 79.3 FPS, while Medium to High is only 7.5 FPS. Ultra drops another 23.2 FPS. Notably, the difference between 1080p and 1440p is minimal on Low (234.6 vs 209.5, a 25.1 FPS gap), but grows at higher settings.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates compress further. Low produces 176.4 FPS, which is still high, but Medium drops to 108.9 FPS, High to 107.1 FPS, and Ultra to 87.1 FPS. The resolution scaling is steep: moving from 1440p to 4K on High costs 15.6 FPS (122.7 to 107.1), while on Ultra it costs 12.4 FPS (99.5 to 87.1). Interestingly, Medium and High are nearly identical at 4K (108.9 vs 107.1), suggesting that the Medium preset already saturates the GPU's memory bandwidth at that resolution.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo ranks 273rd out of 1744 tested combinations in Overpower, which places it in the 84.3rd percentile of all configurations (calculated as 1 - 273/1744). This is a strong showing, meaning that roughly 84% of tested combos score lower. The ranking reflects the balance between the Ryzen 7 5800XT and the RTX 4070 SUPER; neither component is a weak link.

Given the CPU's 86th percentile and GPU's 84th percentile across all benchmarks, the combo's in-game rank is consistent with the individual component standings. The 273rd position out of 1744 means it outperforms the vast majority of systems, but there is still a meaningful gap to the top-tier configurations. The data shows that the 5800XT's nearest rivals perform within 0.3% in synthetic tests, so the ranking is largely driven by GPU performance. The RTX 4070 SUPER's position among its rivals (within 1.6% of four competitors) suggests that swapping the GPU would have a more pronounced effect on the combo's rank than changing the CPU.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

For 1920x1080, the High preset (139.3 FPS) is the recommended choice for most players. It offers a 27.2 FPS advantage over Ultra (112.1 FPS) while delivering visually similar quality. The Medium preset (149.4 FPS) is only 10.1 FPS faster than High, so High provides better value. Low (234.6 FPS) is only useful for competitive play where maximum frame rates override visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, High (122.7 FPS) is again the sweet spot. It is 23.2 FPS faster than Ultra (99.5 FPS) and only 7.5 FPS slower than Medium (130.2 FPS). The difference between Medium and High is negligible, so High is the clear choice for a balanced experience. Low (209.5 FPS) remains an option for esports-style play, but the visual downgrade is significant.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation shifts. High (107.1 FPS) and Medium (108.9 FPS) are virtually identical, with a 1.8 FPS difference. Ultra (87.1 FPS) is playable but dips below the 90 FPS threshold that many consider smooth. For 4K, Medium is the practical pick since it matches High's performance while potentially reducing load on the GPU. Low (176.4 FPS) is an outlier that suggests the game's Low preset removes most GPU-intensive effects, making it viable for high-refresh 4K monitors if you can tolerate the visual compromise.

Overall, the data indicates that High settings at 1440p provide the best balance of image quality and performance, with 122.7 FPS being comfortable for 120Hz displays. For 1080p users, High is equally strong at 139.3 FPS. The Ultra preset is only worth the frame rate cost if you have a G-Sync display and prioritize visual maxing over raw FPS.
