Overpower

The benchmark data for Overpower with the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER reveals a system that scales predictably across resolutions, with the GPU becoming the primary constraint at higher settings. This combination ranks in the 84.5th percentile of tested configs, placing it well above the median for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo delivers 113.1 FPS average. Moving to 1440p Ultra drops this to 104 FPS, a reduction of 8.1%. The jump to 4K Ultra further reduces performance to 83.9 FPS, which is 19.3% lower than the 1440p result and 25.8% below the 1080p figure.

The scaling pattern changes dramatically when examining lower settings. At Low settings, the system achieves 237.6 FPS at 1080p, 208.2 FPS at 1440p, and 178.3 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops between resolutions are 12.4% (1080p to 1440p) and 14.4% (1440p to 4K). This contrasts with the Ultra preset, where the drop-off from 1440p to 4K is more severe at 19.3%.

The data indicates that at Low settings, the CPU is doing more of the work relative to the GPU. The Ryzen 7 7700X's 8 cores and 16 threads, running at a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, are capable of sustaining high frame rates even at 4K Low (178.3 FPS). However, when settings increase to Ultra, the GPU's workload expands, and the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factor. The 4K Ultra result of 83.9 FPS suggests that the GPU is fully saturated, while the CPU still has headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 7700X and RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 271 out of 1744 tested configurations in Overpower. This places the system in the top 15.5% of all combinations evaluated for this game. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU's strong multi-threaded performance and the GPU's capable rasterization throughput.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 34313 places it just 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i5-13500 and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12800HX. It trails the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H and AMD EPYC 4244P by 0.8% each. These narrow margins indicate that the Ryzen 7 7700X is well-matched against its direct competitors, with no single rival holding a decisive advantage in synthetic benchmarks.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 42576 sits 0.2% below the NVIDIA RTX A6000 and 0.3% below the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE. It outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 1.4% and the NVIDIA Tesla M40 by 1.6%. This grouping suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER operates in a performance tier where small percentage differences translate to only a few frames per second in real-world gaming.

The combined rank of 271 out of 1744 indicates that this pairing is better than the vast majority of tested systems, but it is not at the very top. Systems with higher-end GPUs or CPUs with more cache would likely rank higher, though the data does not specify which specific components occupy the top spots.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process node from TSMC. It contains 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, with 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and boosts to 2475 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective).

The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves adequate for Overpower at all tested settings. The 4K Ultra result of 83.9 FPS demonstrates that the GPU can handle the memory demands of high-resolution textures without significant bottlenecks. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s support the 103.4 FPS average at 4K High settings.

The GPU's FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS is identical to its FP16 performance (1:1 ratio), which is characteristic of the Ada Lovelace architecture. This compute capability helps maintain consistent frame times in action-heavy scenes. The 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and DLSS, though the measured FPS data does not specify whether these features were enabled during testing.

The GPU's 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it above the median but below the top-tier cards. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (0.2% higher score) and AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (0.3% higher), which suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER is firmly in the upper-midrange segment.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for settings selection across all three resolutions. At 1080p, the Ultra preset delivers 113.1 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The High preset at 136.8 FPS offers a 20.9% improvement over Ultra, while Medium achieves 147.8 FPS and Low reaches 237.6 FPS.

For 1440p, the Ultra preset produces 104 FPS, which remains playable for most users. The High preset at 120.6 FPS provides a 16% boost over Ultra, and Medium at 133.1 FPS is 28% faster. The Low preset at 208.2 FPS is more than double the Ultra figure.

At 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 83.9 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS but may not satisfy users with high refresh rate displays. The High preset at 103.4 FPS offers a 23.2% improvement over Ultra, while Medium at 110.3 FPS is 31.5% faster. The Low preset at 178.3 FPS is more than double the Ultra result.

The data suggests that the High preset provides the best balance between visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 4K High, the system achieves 103.4 FPS, which is only 6.5% lower than the 1440p High result of 120.6 FPS. This indicates that the GPU has sufficient headroom at High settings to handle 4K without the severe performance penalty seen at Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael). It operates on the AMD Socket AM5 platform with a base clock of 4.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. The CPU has a TDP of 105 W and supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

The cache hierarchy consists of 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. This cache configuration, combined with the high boost clock, contributes to the CPU's strong single-threaded performance. The PassMark single-thread score of 4190 and Geekbench single-core score of 2985 demonstrate capable per-core performance.

For multi-threaded workloads, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 30325 and a PassMark multithread score of 35686. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 8859 is nearly identical to the max-thread score of 8852, indicating that the processor scales well with all 16 threads utilized. The 8-thread score of 7057 shows that even with half the threads active, the CPU retains 79.7% of its maximum multi-threaded performance.

In Overpower, the CPU's role varies by settings preset. At Low settings, the high frame rates (237.6 FPS at 1080p) suggest that the CPU is able to feed the GPU efficiently without becoming a bottleneck. The CPU's 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it above most processors in the database. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-13500, is only 0.4% behind in average benchmark score, indicating that the Ryzen 7 7700X holds a slight edge over its closest competitor.

The CPU's 5 nm process node and 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die contribute to its efficiency. The integrated Radeon Graphics provide a basic display output, though the discrete RTX 4070 SUPER handles all rendering workloads in this game. The PCIe Gen 5 support with 24 lanes from the CPU ensures that the GPU's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface has ample bandwidth for data transfer.
