How This Combo Ranks

The data places this combo at rank 1283 out of 1744 tested configurations, positioning it in the upper-middle tier of systems for Overpower. This rank suggests that while it is not a top-tier performer, it comfortably outperforms a significant portion of the tested hardware pool. The processor’s 75th percentile score among all CPUs and the graphics card’s 71st percentile ranking among all GPUs indicate a well-matched pairing that avoids a major bottleneck.

Benchmark results for the CPU show an average score of 17181, placing it in close competition with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, which scores 17189 with a 0% delta. The GPU’s average benchmark score is 27985, which puts it slightly ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (27956, 0.1% delta) and marginally behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (28238, -0.9% delta). This data suggests the combo’s ranking is driven by a balanced contribution from both components, with neither drastically holding back the other in synthetic tests.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is the primary driver of frame rates in Overpower, as evidenced by the significant FPS variations across different settings at the same resolution. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1968 MHz and a boost clock of 2589 MHz, with a game clock of 2359 MHz. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game’s demands at 1080p and 1440p, but the data shows performance scaling that is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario at higher resolutions.

The card’s 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs contribute to its rasterization capabilities. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 16461 demonstrates its DirectX 11 performance, while its DirectX 12 score of 61 suggests that the game’s API usage may not fully leverage the card’s potential. The GPU’s 71st percentile ranking among all GPUs, with a average score of 27985, places it in the same performance bracket as older high-end cards like the GTX 980 Ti. In Overpower, the GPU’s role is clear: it handles the graphical load effectively, but its 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become limiting factors when pushing 4K resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear performance hierarchy based on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers an average of 127.1 FPS on Low, 83.2 FPS on Medium, 73.6 FPS on High, and 64.8 FPS on Ultra. These numbers show that the combo can easily handle competitive play at 1080p, with even the Ultra preset maintaining a frame rate above 60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average frame rates drop to 113 FPS on Low, 73.6 FPS on Medium, 65.9 FPS on High, and 55.5 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p High setting remains playable, but the Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the system achieves 97.3 FPS on Low, 60.1 FPS on Medium, 56.7 FPS on High, and 47 FPS on Ultra. The 4K data shows a steep decline, with only the Low preset providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, the data suggests using the High preset at 1920x1080, which yields an average of 73.6 FPS. This provides a significant improvement over the Medium preset’s 83.2 FPS in visual quality while still maintaining a frame rate well above the playable threshold. At 2560x1440, the High preset is the optimal choice, delivering 65.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 55.5 FPS, which may cause noticeable stuttering in fast-paced action.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the recommended starting point, as it achieves 60.1 FPS on average. The High preset at 4K dips to 56.7 FPS, which is borderline playable, but the Medium preset offers a more consistent experience. The Low preset at 4K provides 97.3 FPS, but the visual downgrade is substantial. Users prioritizing a smooth frame rate over visuals should consider the Medium preset at 4K, while those at 1080p or 1440p can comfortably use High settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F provides the processing foundation for this combo, with its 6 cores and 12 threads handling game logic and physics. Its base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz deliver strong single-thread performance, as indicated by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2029. The CPU’s 12 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for maintaining consistent frame times.

In multi-threaded workloads, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14372 and a Passmark multithread score of 16908. These results place the CPU in the 75th percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 17181. The CPU’s performance relative to its nearest rivals—such as the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with a 0% delta and the Intel Core i7-1260P with a -0.2% delta—indicates that it is not a bottleneck in most gaming scenarios. The data shows that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU adequately at 1080p and 1440p, but its role becomes less critical at 4K where the GPU is the limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates the GPU’s dominance as the limiting component. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 73.6 FPS at 1920x1080 to 65.9 FPS at 2560x1440 (a 10.5% decrease) and then to 56.7 FPS at 3840x2160 (a 23% decrease from 1440p). This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound workload, where the increase in pixel count directly impacts the rendering load.

At Low settings, the frame rates are 127.1 FPS at 1080p, 113 FPS at 1440p, and 97.3 FPS at 4K, showing a more gradual decline. This indicates that even at the lowest settings, the GPU is still the primary bottleneck, as the CPU is able to keep up with the reduced graphical demands. The data suggests that users seeking higher frame rates at 4K would need to rely on resolution scaling or more aggressive settings reductions, as the CPU is not the constraining factor in this configuration. The 8 GB VRAM of the GPU is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K with Ultra settings, the 47 FPS average indicates that the card is struggling with the increased memory and processing demands.
