Overpower

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Overpower shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop reveals important information about where the bottleneck lies in this system. At 1080p Low settings, the combo delivers 236 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 208.8 FPS, a reduction of roughly 11.5%. The further step to 4K Low yields 179.1 FPS, which is another 14.2% decline from the 1440p figure. This relatively gentle slope at Low settings suggests the CPU is still doing substantial work even at higher resolutions, because a purely GPU-bound scenario would show a much steeper falloff.

The scaling story changes dramatically when examining Ultra settings. At 1080p Ultra, the system produces 113.5 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, that falls to 101.4 FPS, a 10.7% drop. However, the jump to 4K Ultra brings the average down to 87.4 FPS, which is a 13.8% reduction from the 1440p result and a 23% decline from the 1080p baseline. This steeper degradation at higher quality presets indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as both resolution and graphical load increase. The data suggests that at 1080p, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with its 8 cores and 16 threads has ample headroom, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary limiter even at lower resolutions, but the gap narrows as pixel count rises.

Comparing the Low and Ultra scaling curves reinforces this interpretation. From 1080p to 4K at Low settings, the FPS drops by 24.1% (from 236 to 179.1). At Ultra settings, the same resolution sweep produces a 23% decline (from 113.5 to 87.4). The similarity in these percentages is notable—it implies that the ratio of CPU to GPU workload does not shift as dramatically as one might expect when toggling quality presets. The game appears to maintain a consistent balance where the GPU is always at least partially constrained, but the CPU is never fully idle. The 4K Ultra result of 87.4 FPS remains well above playable thresholds, indicating this combination handles even the most demanding configuration without dropping into marginal territory.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The memory clock is rated at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed. These specifications are directly relevant to Overpower's performance at 4K, where the higher pixel throughput demands substantial memory bandwidth. The 12 GB capacity appears sufficient for the tested scenarios, as the data does not indicate any memory-related stutter or catastrophic frame drops, even at 4K Ultra where the average remains at 87.4 FPS.

The GPU's clock behavior shows a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. With 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines, the RTX 4070 SUPER delivers 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed for Overpower's action-oriented rendering. The fact that 4K High (102.6 FPS) outperforms 4K Medium (109.7 FPS) by a small margin is curious—the data shows High is actually slower than Medium, which could indicate that the Medium preset applies different render paths or that the gap between 109.7 and 102.6 is within run-to-run variance. Regardless, the GPU demonstrates consistent scaling across the settings spectrum.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores are present but Overpower's measured results do not isolate ray tracing or DLSS performance. The benchmark data reflects standard rasterization workloads. Given the GPU's 220 W TDP and dual-slot design with a single 16-pin power connector, the power delivery is adequate for sustained performance. The suggested 550 W PSU indicates the system-level power envelope is moderate. In the context of Overpower, the GPU's role is clearly dominant at 4K, but the 7800X3D's 96 MB of shared L3 cache helps maintain high minimum frame rates by reducing memory latency, which is crucial for action game responsiveness.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 276 out of 1744 tested combos in Overpower. This places the system in the top 15.8% of all configurations tested in this game, which is a strong showing given the breadth of hardware combinations in the database. The rank reflects the synergy between the CPU and GPU—neither component is the absolute fastest in its class, but together they deliver a balanced experience that outperforms the vast majority of alternatives.

The CPU's percentile ranking of 87 against all CPUs indicates that the 7800X3D outperforms 87% of processors in general benchmark workloads. Its average benchmark score of 31580 places it just 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700F (31543) and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX (31495). The nearest rivals are all within 0.6% of the 7800X3D's average score, suggesting that the CPU's contribution to Overpower's performance is competitive with a tight cluster of high-end processors. However, the 3D V-Cache technology—96 MB of shared L3 cache—likely provides a specific advantage in gaming workloads that the general benchmarks may not fully capture.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER holds an 84th percentile ranking against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA RTX A6000 at 42653, which is 0.2% higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE at 42723, which is 0.3% higher. The deltaPct values are all negative for the RTX 4070 SUPER when compared to these rivals, meaning it trails by fractions of a percent. The RTX 4070 SUPER is also 1.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 580X and 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla M40. This grouping suggests the GPU sits in a performance tier where minor architectural differences translate to negligible FPS changes in actual games.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete FPS dataset for Overpower spans three resolutions and four quality presets, providing 12 distinct data points. At 1080p, the Low preset achieves 236 FPS, which is the highest result in the entire dataset. Medium produces 147.5 FPS, High yields 139.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 113.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is substantial—88.5 FPS—while the step from Medium to High is only 8 FPS, and High to Ultra is 26 FPS. This pattern indicates that the Medium preset is where the most significant graphical features are enabled, while High and Ultra add progressively more demanding effects.

At 1440p, the results follow a similar shape but with reduced absolute values. Low delivers 208.8 FPS, Medium 130.4 FPS, High 119.9 FPS, and Ultra 101.4 FPS. The delta between Low and Medium here is 78.4 FPS, slightly smaller than at 1080p, which aligns with the GPU becoming more of a limiting factor. The High-to-Ultra gap is 18.5 FPS, again narrower than at 1080p. Notably, the 1440p Ultra result of 101.4 FPS is remarkably close to the 4K High result of 102.6 FPS, suggesting that at these settings, the resolution increase from 1440p to 4K is roughly offset by the quality reduction from Ultra to High.

At 4K, the dataset shows Low at 179.1 FPS, Medium at 109.7 FPS, High at 102.6 FPS, and Ultra at 87.4 FPS. This is the only resolution where Ultra falls below 90 FPS, and the Low preset still exceeds 170 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU has enough headroom for high-refresh-rate 4K gaming at lower quality settings. The spread across settings is 91.7 FPS (from 87.4 to 179.1), which is the largest of any resolution, reinforcing the idea that 4K is where the GPU's capabilities are most stretched. Overall, the dataset shows no anomalies—every higher resolution at the same setting yields lower FPS, and every higher setting at the same resolution yields lower FPS, with no inversions except the minor High/Medium discrepancy at 4K.
