FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: The measured average frame rate at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings is 107.6 FPS. This is the most demanding preset at this resolution and still provides a smooth, high-refresh-rate experience.

Q: How much of a performance gain is seen by dropping from Ultra to Low at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the average frame rate increases from 99.2 FPS on Ultra to 204.9 FPS on Low. This represents a significant jump of over 100 FPS, showing the large headroom available when graphical settings are reduced.

Q: Is the RTX 5070 more powerful than the RTX 3090?

A: Based on the average benchmark score, the RTX 5070 has a score of 41687, which is 0.6% higher than the RTX 3090's score of 41441. While the delta is small, the data suggests the newer card holds a slight performance edge in this metric.

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded in the entire data set?

A: The highest average frame rate is 226.2 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with Low settings. This is the peak performance point for this combination in the measured scenarios.

Q: How does the CPU's multi-threaded performance compare to its nearest rival?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT has an average benchmark score of 29774, which is 0.3% higher than the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H's score of 29868. In this comparison, the 5800XT is effectively on par, being only 0.3% faster.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between High and Ultra settings at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers an average of 101.4 FPS, while the Ultra preset delivers 85.2 FPS. The difference is 16.2 FPS, indicating that Ultra settings impose a meaningful additional load on the GPU at this resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the central component driving Overpower's frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus provides a memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. This substantial bandwidth is crucial for feeding the GPU's 6144 shading units at high resolutions and texture loads. The GPU's boost clock of 2512 MHz, combined with its 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power, allows it to handle the game's demanding action sequences.

The RTX 5070's performance is underscored by its benchmark scores. Its Passmark G3D score of 29137 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5077 suggest strong rasterization and modern API performance. The GPU's 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores also prepare it for any ray-traced effects or DLSS features the game might utilize. In the context of Overpower, the measured FPS data shows the GPU scales predictably with settings, with the gap between Low and Ultra presets widening as resolution increases. The GPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms it is a high-tier part, and its 0.6% lead over the RTX 3090 in average benchmark score indicates it sits at the top of the performance stack for this game.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a clear trend of diminishing frame rates as resolution increases, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 226.2 at 1080p to 204.9 at 1440p, a reduction of 21.3 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is more severe, falling from 204.9 to 171.4 FPS, a 33.5 FPS decrease. This pattern indicates that even at low graphical fidelity, the GPU is becoming the limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

The scaling behavior changes at higher settings. On Ultra, the average FPS drops from 107.6 at 1080p to 99.2 at 1440p, a modest 8.4 FPS decrease. However, the jump from 1440p to 4K Ultra results in a more significant drop to 85.2 FPS, a 14 FPS reduction. The fact that the 1080p to 1440p drop is small at Ultra, but the 1440p to 4K drop is large, suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately at 1080p and 1440p. The 4K resolution heavily taxes the GPU's fillrate and memory bandwidth, making it the definitive bottleneck. The data shows the RTX 5070 can still maintain high frame rates at 4K, but the performance cost of each resolution step is clear, especially when moving to 3840x2160.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination shows excellent performance across all presets. Low settings deliver an average of 226.2 FPS, ensuring maximum fluidity for competitive play. Medium settings produce 142.9 FPS, High yields 131.2 FPS, and Ultra remains highly playable at 107.6 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 118.6 FPS, demonstrating a wide range of performance headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong. Low settings achieve an average of 204.9 FPS, which is still exceptionally high. The Medium preset delivers 124.5 FPS, while High and Ultra produce 116.5 FPS and 99.2 FPS, respectively. The performance drop from 1080p to 1440p is most pronounced at Low settings (a 21.3 FPS decrease) and least pronounced at High settings (a 14.7 FPS decrease), showing that the GPU is still the primary driver.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to show its limits, but performance remains respectable. Low settings produce an average of 171.4 FPS, which is still a very smooth experience. Medium settings yield 108.6 FPS, and High settings are just behind at 101.4 FPS. Ultra settings drop to an average of 85.2 FPS, which is still above the 60 FPS threshold for a playable experience. The data shows that even at 4K, the RTX 5070 can handle Overpower well, though the gap between Low and Ultra presets is substantial, at 86.2 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

For players prioritizing the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset at 1080p is the clear choice, delivering an average of 226.2 FPS. This is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors or competitive scenarios where every frame counts. The Low preset at 1440p also offers an excellent experience at 204.9 FPS, making it a great option for those seeking a balance between visual clarity and speed.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the High preset is the recommended choice. At 1080p, it delivers a solid 131.2 FPS, and at 1440p, it maintains a smooth 116.5 FPS. At 4K, the High preset provides an average of 101.4 FPS, which is an excellent result for a high-fidelity gaming experience. The Medium preset offers a slight performance increase over High, but the visual fidelity trade-off is not always worth the modest FPS gain, especially at 1440p and 4K.

The Ultra preset is for users who want the absolute best visual fidelity. At 1080p, it delivers a playable 107.6 FPS, and at 1440p, it remains viable at 99.2 FPS. At 4K, the Ultra preset is the most demanding, producing an average of 85.2 FPS. While this is still playable, the data suggests that the High preset at 4K offers a better balance, with a 16.2 FPS improvement over Ultra. For most users, the High preset is the sweet spot, offering a significant upgrade in visual quality over Medium with only a moderate frame rate cost, and it remains the most versatile option across all tested resolutions.
