GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for Overpower, a 2023 action title. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory is more than sufficient for the game's demands across all tested resolutions, and the 736.3 GB/s memory bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and high-resolution asset loading do not become bottlenecks. The card's Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, packs 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output pipelines.

Clock behavior directly influences the measured results. The GPU has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, with memory running at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). These clocks, combined with the 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, allow the card to push high frame rates even at 4K. The pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s are key metrics for understanding how the card handles fill-rate-heavy scenes common in action games.

The RTX 4080 SUPER's performance percentile of 86 places it well above the median GPU, and its average benchmark score of 54,209 confirms its high-end positioning. In Overpower specifically, the GPU's capabilities are evident in the frame rates achieved: even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains an average of 98 FPS. The card's 80 ray tracing cores and 320 tensor cores are present but not directly measured in the FPS data; the results reflect rasterization performance across the tested presets.

The GPU's nearest rival, the standard RTX 4080, scores nearly identically (54,247, delta -0.1%), which suggests that in this game, the SUPER variant's advantages do not translate into a measurable FPS lead. The other rivals — AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, and Radeon 8060S — all have higher average benchmark scores but are not directly compared in the Overpower FPS data. The GPU's 16 GB frame buffer is particularly relevant at 3840x2160, where memory capacity can become a limiting factor in less optimized titles; here, the data shows no such constraint.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 234 FPS at 1920x1080 to 225 FPS at 2560x1440 (a 3.8% reduction), then to 204 FPS at 3840x2160 (a further 9.3% reduction from 1440p). This relatively modest decline across the resolution range indicates that at Low settings, the CPU is playing a significant role in limiting performance — the GPU has ample headroom, and the frame rate does not scale linearly with pixel count.

At Medium settings, the pattern shifts. The average goes from 168 FPS at 1080p to 150 FPS at 1440p (down 10.7%), then to 127 FPS at 4K (down 15.3% from 1440p). The steeper drop at higher resolutions suggests the GPU begins to take on more of the workload as settings increase. The minimum FPS values at Medium settings also show this trend: 143 at 1080p, 127 at 1440p, and 108 at 4K, with maximums of 193, 172, and 147 respectively.

High settings show a similar but more pronounced scaling. From 156 FPS at 1080p, the average falls to 139 FPS at 1440p (down 10.9%) and then to 118 FPS at 4K (down 15.1% from 1440p). Ultra settings exhibit the largest relative drops: 130 FPS at 1080p, 115 FPS at 1440p (down 11.5%), and 98 FPS at 4K (down 14.8% from 1440p).

The diminishing returns at each resolution step indicate that the RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary scaling factor, but the CPU still contributes at lower settings. The fact that Low settings at 4K (204 FPS) outperform Ultra at 1080p (130 FPS) demonstrates that the GPU has substantial headroom, and the game's engine scales well with resolution changes. The limiting component shifts from CPU-bound at Low/1080p to GPU-bound at Ultra/4K, though even at the most demanding preset, the combo never falls below 98 FPS average.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 234 FPS average
• Medium: 168 FPS average (143 min, 193 max)
• High: 156 FPS average
• Ultra: 130 FPS average

At 1080p, the combo achieves its highest raw frame rates. The jump from Low to Medium is 66 FPS, while the step from Medium to High is only 12 FPS, and High to Ultra is 26 FPS. The minimum FPS at Medium (143) is higher than the average at Ultra (130), indicating that even in demanding scenes, the Medium preset maintains playable performance.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 225 FPS average
• Medium: 150 FPS average (127 min, 172 max)
• High: 139 FPS average
• Ultra: 115 FPS average

At 1440p, the averages remain high, with only Ultra dipping below 120 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 75 FPS, suggesting that the Medium preset introduces significant graphical improvements at a notable performance cost. The spread between minimum and maximum at Medium (45 FPS) is the widest across all resolutions at that setting, indicating some scene-to-scene variability.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 204 FPS average
• Medium: 127 FPS average (108 min, 147 max)
• High: 118 FPS average
• Ultra: 98 FPS average

At 4K, the combo remains highly playable across all presets. The Low setting still delivers over 200 FPS, which is exceptional for this resolution. The Medium preset shows a 39 FPS range between min and max, reflecting the increased GPU load. Ultra at 4K produces the lowest average in the dataset at 98 FPS, but this remains above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently provides the most complete dataset with min and max values, allowing for a more nuanced analysis of frame time consistency. The High and Ultra presets in the dataset lack min/max values, but the averages alone demonstrate a clear hierarchy: Low > Medium > High > Ultra at every resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a desktop processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture (codename Vermeer) using TSMC's 7 nm process. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The CPU has a 105 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 23,794, while the single-core score is 3,359. The PassMark multithread score is 28,053, and the single-thread score is 3,535. The 3DMark results show scaling from 959 (single-thread) to 7,680 (max threads), with the 16-thread test scoring 7,683 — nearly identical to the max-thread result, indicating that the 8-core/16-thread configuration is fully utilized.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 29,879 places it in the 81st percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are all mobile or lower-tier desktop parts: the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (29,868, 0% delta), Ryzen 7 8845HS (29,955, -0.3% delta), Ryzen 7 7840HS (29,955, -0.3% delta), and Ryzen 5 9600X (29,713, 0.6% delta). This clustering suggests that the 5800XT delivers performance on par with modern mobile high-end parts, despite being a desktop chip with an older architecture.

In Overpower, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 234 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited given the GPU's capacity. The fact that 1440p Low (225 FPS) and even 4K Low (204 FPS) remain close to the 1080p figure indicates that the CPU is maintaining a high frame ceiling. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's 16 threads and 4.80 GHz boost clock provide sufficient single-thread performance for game logic and draw call processing, while the 32 MB L3 cache helps with data locality in action-heavy scenes.

The CPU's 3DMark 2-thread score of 1,879 and 4-thread score of 3,603 show that it scales well with additional threads, which is beneficial for games that utilize multiple cores. However, the data does not isolate CPU vs. GPU bottleneck in Overpower; the measured FPS reflects the combined system performance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 168 FPS average with a minimum of 143 FPS, ensuring consistent frame delivery without dipping below the 144 Hz refresh rate common on gaming monitors. The 143 FPS minimum is higher than the High preset's average of 156 FPS, which suggests that Medium provides more stable frame pacing.

At 1440p, Medium achieves 150 FPS average (127 min), which is only 11 FPS lower than High (139 FPS average) in terms of average, but the minimum FPS of 127 ensures that even the most demanding scenes stay above 120 FPS. The High preset at 1440p drops to 139 FPS average, with no min/max data provided, but the lower average suggests more variability. Ultra at 1440p falls to 115 FPS average, which may be acceptable for 60 Hz displays but is less ideal for high-refresh monitors.

At 4K, Medium provides 127 FPS average (108 min), which is a significant improvement over High (118 FPS) and Ultra (98 FPS). The 108 FPS minimum at Medium ensures that gameplay remains smooth, while the 127 FPS average is well above the 60 FPS threshold for console-like experiences. For users with 4K 120 Hz displays, Medium is the only preset that consistently stays above 120 FPS in average terms.

The Low preset, while offering the highest frame rates (234 FPS at 1080p, 225 FPS at 1440p, 204 FPS at 4K), sacrifices too much visual fidelity for the marginal gains over Medium. The performance difference between Low and Medium is substantial (66 FPS at 1080p, 75 FPS at 1440p, 77 FPS at 4K), but Medium's visual improvements are likely worth the trade-off for most users. The Ultra preset, conversely, provides diminishing returns over High while costing 26 FPS at 1080p, 24 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K.

For competitive play, the Low preset at 1080p (234 FPS) or 1440p (225 FPS) maximizes frame rates and minimizes input latency. For single-player immersion, Medium at 4K (127 FPS) offers the best combination of resolution, detail, and smoothness. The High preset is a middle ground but does not provide enough of a visual upgrade over Medium to justify the frame rate loss.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 295th out of 3,713 tested combos in Overpower, placing it in the top 8% of all configurations. This percentile positioning is consistent with the individual component rankings: the CPU is in the 81st percentile among all processors, and the GPU is in the 86th percentile among all graphics cards.

The combo's rank of 295 out of 3,713 means that 3,418 other combinations perform worse in this game. This is a strong result, but the rank also indicates that there are 294 configurations that achieve higher frame rates. Given the GPU's position relative to its rivals (essentially tied with the RTX 4080), the rank is likely driven by the CPU's placement among desktop processors. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's average score of 29,879 is competitive with modern mobile chips, but it trails higher-end desktop parts that would be paired with the RTX 4080 SUPER in more expensive builds.

The data shows that this combo is well-matched for Overpower at high refresh rates, particularly at 1440p and 4K where the GPU's 16 GB VRAM and high bandwidth come into play. The rank of 295 suggests that while this is a high-performing setup, there is still headroom for improvement — likely through a newer CPU with higher single-thread performance or additional cores. However, for the vast majority of users, the 295th rank out of 3,713 represents a top-tier experience in this action title, with the ability to run Ultra settings at 1080p (130 FPS) or Medium settings at 4K (127 FPS) without compromise.
