Overpower

Overpower is an action title released on 2023-08-14, and this entry measures the Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070. The dataset contains measured average FPS for four presets at three resolutions, and the combination ranks 555th out of 1744 tested in the database. The broad conclusion is that this setup is strong enough for 4K, but the CPU begins to cap frames at Low settings while the GPU defines the frame-rate curve as settings climb.

Resolution Scaling

At Low preset, resolution changes barely move the result: 1080p averages 170.1 fps, 1440p averages 163.6 fps, and 4K averages 153.8 fps. The modest spread is a sign that the i5-10400F, not the RTX 4070, is the limiting component when rendering load is low. At Medium, the spread is wider: 129.8 fps at 1080p, 117.2 fps at 1440p, and 100.9 fps at 4K. High moves from 121.4 fps at 1080p to 108.1 fps at 1440p to 92.2 fps at 4K, and Ultra goes from 99.4 fps at 1080p to 89.6 fps at 1440p to 75.6 fps at 4K.

The 4K Ultra result shows the largest resolution penalty, which means the GPU becomes the dominant force as settings increase. Every preset remains playable at 4K in the measured data, but the shape of the scaling is different: Low is almost flat across resolutions, while Ultra drops sharply. That contrast is the core finding. In low-load scenes, the CPU is the constraint; in high-load scenes, the RTX 4070 is the component doing the heavy lifting.

How This Combo Ranks

Within Overpower, this combo is 555th of 1744 tested combinations. That places it in the upper portion of the field, though not among the leading outliers.

Looking at component-level aggregate benchmarks, the i5-10400F has an average score of 14168 and sits at the 73rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate database are the AMD EPYC 7552 at 14115 with a delta of 0.4, the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C at 14277 with a delta of -0.8, the Intel Core i5-8500 at 14332 with a delta of -1.1, and the AMD Ryzen Embedded V2546 at 14336 with a delta of -1.2. In other words, the i5-10400F lands within a narrow band around these processors, slightly ahead of the EPYC 7552 and slightly behind the other three.

The RTX 4070 has an aggregate average score of 37283 and sits at the 81st percentile. It is 0.6 behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, which scores 37507, and 1.9 behind the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A, which scores 38008. It is also 2.2 behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile, which scores 38135, while leading the AMD Radeon RX 5300M by 2.5; that rival scores 36371. These aggregate standings are general, while the measured FPS in Overpower shows how the two parts behave together.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, High is the best preset for this combo in Overpower. At 1080p High produces 121.4 fps, at 1440p it produces 108.1 fps, and at 4K it produces 92.2 fps. Medium is faster, returning 129.8 fps at 1080p, 117.2 fps at 1440p, and 100.9 fps at 4K, but High is the highest visual tier that still keeps a clear frame-rate advantage over Ultra’s 4K average of 75.6.

Low produces the highest raw frame rates: 170.1 fps at 1080p, 163.6 fps at 1440p, and 153.8 fps at 4K. But because the Low results compress tightly across resolutions, it is the CPU ceiling, not the GPU, that defines them; the RTX 4070’s rendering headroom is left unused. Ultra is not the best choice for smoothness. It returns 99.4 fps at 1080p, 89.6 fps at 1440p, and 75.6 fps at 4K. These are playable numbers, but High outperforms Ultra at every resolution, so the frame-rate penalty of Ultra is not rewarded by the measured data.

For maximum frame rate with lower visual impact, Medium is a reasonable alternative. At 4K it reaches 100.9 fps, versus 92.2 fps for High and 75.6 fps for Ultra. The data therefore supports High as the default recommendation, Medium as the smoother alternative, and Ultra only when visual load is prioritized over the measured frame-rate loss.

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 89.6 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 121.4 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 170.1 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 129.8 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 99.4 |

The table makes the ordering clear: Low is fastest at every resolution, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. The lowest measured average in the entire dataset is 75.6 fps at 4K Ultra, which is still a solid result for an action game.

FAQ

Q: What is the best preset for this CPU and GPU combo in Overpower?

A: High. It delivers 121.4 fps at 1080p, 108.1 fps at 1440p, and 92.2 fps at 4K. Medium is faster, but High is the highest preset with a clear measured margin over the Ultra results.

Q: Is Ultra worth using?

A: The data says no if frame rate is the priority. Ultra averages 99.4 fps at 1080p, 89.6 fps at 1440p, and 75.6 fps at 4K. High instead averages 121.4 fps, 108.1 fps, and 92.2 fps, making High a better measured choice at each resolution.

Q: What is limiting performance in this game?

A: It depends on the preset. At Low, the resolution spread is small, from 170.1 fps at 1080p to 153.8 fps at 4K, which points to CPU limitation. At Ultra, the spread is larger, from 99.4 fps at 1080p to 75.6 fps at 4K, which shows the GPU taking over as the limiter.

Q: How does this combo rank in Overpower?

A: It ranks 555th out of 1744 tested combinations. The CPU sits at the 73rd percentile and the GPU at the 81st percentile in their aggregate benchmark databases.

Q: Does the RTX 4070’s 12 GB VRAM matter here?

A: The measured data shows 4K Ultra still averages 75.6 fps, so the 12 GB GDDR6X frame buffer and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for Overpower at 4K. No VRAM-related collapse appears in the results.

Q: Is the i5-10400F overclockable?

A: No. The multiplier is not unlocked, so it relies on its 2.90 GHz base clock and 4.30 GHz boost clock across 6 cores and 12 threads.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F is a Comet Lake desktop processor on Intel Socket 1200 with 6 cores and 12 threads. It operates at 2.90 GHz base and 4.30 GHz boost, with a 65 W TDP and 12 MB shared L3 cache. The memory interface is dual-channel DDR4 with 42.7 GB/s bandwidth, and the CPU connects through PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes.

Benchmark results explain how this CPU behaves in Overpower. In 3DMark, the CPU scores 688 for single-thread, 1350 for two threads, 2560 for four threads, 3929 for eight threads, and 4748 for sixteen threads. The scaling from two to sixteen threads is strong, which means the 12 threads can be used by modern engines. PassMark single-thread is 2541 and multithread is 12115; Cinebench R23 multi is 10297 and single is 1453.

These scores line up with the measured Low-preset performance. At 1080p Low, average FPS is 170.1; at 1440p Low it is 163.6; at 4K Low it is 153.8. The frame rate stays high even when resolution grows, which indicates that the CPU’s thread delivery and single-core strength are the main factors setting the ceiling in low-load scenes. The aggregate ranking places this processor at the 73rd percentile, and it sits within 1.2 of its closest rivals in the benchmark database.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is based on the AD104 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, manufactured on 5 nm by TSMC. It has 5888 shading units, 184 texture units, 64 ROPs, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores. The base clock is 1920 MHz, boost is 2475 MHz, and memory is 12 GB GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus running at 1313 MHz, or 21 Gbps effective, yielding 504.2 GB/s. Its launch MSRP was 599 USD.

The GPU’s computational rates include 29.15 TFLOPS FP32, 455.4 GTexel/s, and 158.4 GPixel/s. These figures indicate high fillrate and compute capacity, which the Overpower data confirm. Moving from Medium to Ultra at 4K drops average FPS from 100.9 to 75.6, whereas moving from 1080p to 4K at Low drops only from 170.1 to 153.8. That contrast shows the GPU workload becomes dominant when settings rise.

At Ultra, the measured resolution scaling is consistent: 1080p hits 99.4 fps, 1440p hits 89.6 fps, and 4K hits 75.6 fps. This is not a memory-capacity failure; the 12 GB frame buffer has room for Overpower’s 4K assets, as evidenced by a stable average. The aggregate GPU benchmark places the RTX 4070 at the 81st percentile and within 2.2 of the RTX 4080 Mobile in the aggregate database.
