Overpower

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 paired with the AMD Radeon 760M represents a stark contrast in performance tiers within a single system. The CPU is a high-end mobile part, while the GPU is an entry-level integrated solution. The measured frame rates in Overpower reflect this imbalance, showing a configuration that is heavily constrained by its graphics component across all tested resolutions and settings. The data indicates a system where the processor's substantial capabilities are largely held in check by the integrated graphics unit.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture (Strix Halo). Its base clock is 3.00 GHz and it boosts up to 5.10 GHz. In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU demonstrates exceptional multi-threaded prowess, scoring 35,314 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 20,992 in Geekbench multi-core. Its percentile ranking against all CPUs is the 95th, placing it in the top tier of processors. The average benchmark score of 77,740 is a strong indicator of its computational power.

When looking at its nearest rivals, the performance is tightly clustered. The data shows the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is 1.6% ahead of the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX and the AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P in average benchmark score. It also leads the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX by 2.0%. Conversely, it trails the Intel Core i9-14900K by a slim 1.7% margin. These deltas are minimal, indicating that the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a top-tier performer in the CPU landscape.

Despite this CPU power, the frame rates in Overpower are low. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 44, which is the highest measured result for this combo. If the CPU were the limiting factor, we would expect to see a significant drop in performance at lower resolutions and settings as the game becomes more CPU-bound. Instead, the frame rates remain consistently low across the board, with the 1080p Ultra preset only hitting 21 FPS. This pattern strongly suggests that the CPU is not the bottleneck; rather, it is waiting on the GPU to deliver frames. The 64 MB of shared L3 cache and high memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s are more than sufficient for gaming workloads, further confirming that the processor is not the constraint in this configuration.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon 760M is an integrated GPU based on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, featuring 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. It has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2599 MHz. The GPU's performance percentile is the 35th, indicating it sits in the lower half of all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 6,019, which is a modest figure for a graphics processor.

The nearest rivals to the Radeon 760M illustrate its position. The data shows it is a mere 0.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6400 and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M. It is also 0.4% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server. However, it trails the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 by 0.5%. These small percentage differences show that the 760M is clustered with older and low-end discrete GPUs, which are entry-level in their own right.

The GPU's memory configuration is "System Shared," meaning its performance is dependent on the system's memory bandwidth. In this case, the CPU provides a 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, which is substantial for an iGPU. However, the raw compute power of the 760M is limited. Its FP32 performance is 5.323 TFLOPS, a figure that is not suited for demanding modern titles at high settings. The measured FPS in Overpower directly reflects this limitation. The GPU is the primary bottleneck, as evidenced by the fact that even at the lowest settings (1080p Low), the average frame rate barely reaches 44 FPS, a clear sign that the GPU's shading units and ROPs are saturated.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The scaling of frame rates across resolutions provides clear evidence of where the bottleneck lies. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 44 at 1920x1080 to 39 at 2560x1440, and then to 33 at 3840x2160. This is a total drop of 11 FPS (25%) from 1080p to 4K. For the High preset, the average FPS drops from 26 at 1080p to 23 at 1440p, and finally to 19 at 4K. This is a 7 FPS (27%) decline.

The pattern is consistent across all settings. A GPU-bound scenario would typically show a more dramatic percentage drop when moving from 1080p to 4K, as the pixel count quadruples. While there is a definite decrease, the relative drop is not as steep as one might expect if the GPU were scaling with resolution. The fact that the frame rates are already very low at 1080p suggests that the GPU is operating at its absolute limit even at the lowest resolution.

If the CPU were the limiting factor, the FPS would remain relatively constant across resolutions, because the CPU's workload (draw calls, physics) does not change with resolution. The observed data shows a clear, albeit modest, decrease with resolution, which is characteristic of a system that is being limited by the GPU's fill rate and pixel processing capability. The 760M's 16 ROPs are a significant constraint, and as resolution increases, these ROPs are tasked with writing more pixels, leading to the observed FPS drops. This confirms that the Radeon 760M is the definitive performance limiter in this configuration for Overpower.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and the AMD Radeon 760M is ranked 2970 out of 2980 tested combos in Overpower. This places it in the bottom 0.3% of all configurations tested. This is a remarkably low ranking, especially when considering the CPU's top-tier 95th percentile performance. The data shows a massive disconnect between the processor's capabilities and the overall gaming performance of the combo.

This ranking is almost entirely due to the GPU. The Radeon 760M's 35th percentile ranking among all GPUs means it is a low-end part. When paired with a high-end CPU, the system's overall gaming performance is dragged down to the level of the weakest component. The 2970th rank out of 2980 indicates that this combo is only marginally better than the absolute worst configurations. This suggests that for gaming purposes, the pairing is highly inefficient. The CPU's potential is completely wasted in this context, as the GPU cannot keep up with even the most basic of rendering demands. The benchmark results indicate that this combo will struggle to provide a playable experience in most modern games, and Overpower is no exception.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data suggests that to achieve the highest possible frame rate, the Low settings preset is the only viable option. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 44. This is the only configuration that approaches a remotely playable frame rate. All other settings presets at 1080p result in average FPS below 30: Medium yields 28 FPS, High yields 26 FPS, and Ultra yields 21 FPS.

Given the GPU's limitations, using the Low preset at 1080p is the only way to get an average FPS above 40. Sacrificing visual fidelity is necessary to attain any semblance of smooth gameplay. While 44 FPS is still not ideal for a fast-paced action game, it is a significant improvement over the 19 FPS average seen at 4K High. The data shows that the performance gap between Low and Medium settings is substantial, making the Low preset the clear choice for playability. The Medium preset at 1080p offers a marginal improvement in visuals but a 36% reduction in average FPS, which is not a worthwhile trade-off for a game in the Action genre.

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

The following is the complete breakdown of measured average FPS for Overpower. Minimum and maximum FPS are only available for the Medium settings preset.

1920x1080

• Ultra: Average 21 FPS.
• High: Average 26 FPS.
• Medium: Average 28 FPS, with a minimum of 23 FPS and a maximum of 32 FPS.
• Low: Average 44 FPS.

2560x1440

• Ultra: Average 19 FPS.
• High: Average 23 FPS.
• Medium: Average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 21 FPS and a maximum of 28 FPS.
• Low: Average 39 FPS.

3840x2160

• Ultra: Average 16 FPS.
• High: Average 19 FPS.
• Medium: Average 21 FPS, with a minimum of 18 FPS and a maximum of 24 FPS.
• Low: Average 33 FPS.

The data shows a consistent and predictable degradation of performance as resolution increases. At any given setting, moving from 1080p to 1440p results in a drop of 4-5 FPS, and moving to 4K results in a further drop of 5-6 FPS. This linear scaling is a direct consequence of the GPU's limited pixel throughput. The frame times at Medium settings also show a narrow band, with the difference between minimum and maximum FPS being only 6-9 frames, indicating a stable, albeit low, performance level. The results confirm that this combo is only suitable for the lowest graphical demands.
