Overpower

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti produces a compelling dataset for the action title Overpower, demonstrating a system that scales predictably with resolution and settings. This combination holds a rank of 260 out of 1744 tested combos in the game, placing it in the top 15% of all configurations. The analysis below breaks down the measured FPS results, focusing on how the components interact across the tested matrix.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear trend: performance degrades steadily as resolution increases, but the rate of degradation is heavily influenced by the selected graphics preset. At Low settings, the system delivers 196.2 FPS at 1920x1080, which only drops to 180.5 FPS at 3840x2160 — a reduction of just 8%. This minimal loss indicates that at Low settings, even at 4K, the system is not constrained by the GPU's rendering load; the frame rate remains remarkably high across all resolutions.

Moving to High settings, the scaling pattern changes significantly. The 1080p result is 146.9 FPS, which falls to 130.2 FPS at 1440p and then to 107.9 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is roughly 27%, showing that the RTX 4070 Ti is now being pushed harder, but still maintaining playable triple-digit frame rates. The Ultra preset amplifies this effect: 119.2 FPS at 1080p, 104.6 FPS at 1440p, and 91.1 FPS at 4K. Here, the 1080p to 4K drop is approximately 24%, but the absolute numbers are lower across the board.

The Medium preset shows an interesting middle ground: 157.3 FPS at 1080p, 141.2 FPS at 1440p, and 120 FPS at 4K. The uniform spacing between resolutions suggests a balanced load where neither the CPU nor GPU entirely dominates the bottleneck. The data overall indicates that at 1080p, the CPU's capabilities are more relevant, while at 4K, the GPU's 12 GB memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth become the primary factors. The fact that Low settings at 4K (180.5 FPS) outperform Ultra at 1080p (119.2 FPS) by 51% demonstrates that the RTX 4070 Ti has ample headroom when visual fidelity is reduced, making resolution scaling less punishing than typical for this class of hardware.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, and its benchmark scores confirm its position. With a percentile rank of 85 among all GPUs and an average benchmark score of 44,900, it sits close to competitors like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (45,152, a 0.6% difference) and the Intel Arc A730M (45,592, a 1.5% difference). This puts the desktop card in rarefied air, and the measured FPS reflects that.

The GPU's specifications are substantial: 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. Its boost clock of 2610 MHz, paired with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In Overpower, this translates to the ability to sustain high frame rates even at 4K Ultra, where the 91.1 FPS result is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The memory configuration proves critical: the 12 GB capacity allows the game to load high-resolution textures without stuttering, as evidenced by the 4K High result of 107.9 FPS being only 27% lower than the 1080p High result.

The GPU's compute capabilities — 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 and a pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s — explain why the Low preset at 4K hits 180.5 FPS. When the render load is minimal, the card's raw throughput shines. The data suggests that for this title, the RTX 4070 Ti is not the limiting factor until Ultra settings at 4K, where the 91.1 FPS still remains fluid. Notably, the GPU's passmark G3D score of 31,624 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5,024 align with the observed in-game performance, showing consistency between synthetic benchmarks and real-world results.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F serves as the supporting component, and its influence is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. This 6-core, 12-thread processor with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz has a percentile rank of 75 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17,181. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, scores 17,189 (a 0% difference), while the Intel Core i7-1260P is 0.2% behind at 17,212. This places the i5-11400F in a competitive mid-range tier.

The CPU's 12 MB of shared L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide adequate support for the RTX 4070 Ti. In the measured results, the gap between 1080p and 1440p at High settings is just 16.7 FPS (146.9 to 130.2), suggesting the CPU is keeping pace. However, at Low settings, the 1080p result of 196.2 FPS versus the 1440p result of 189.8 FPS shows only a 3.4% difference, indicating that the CPU is nearing its limit around the 190-200 FPS range. The 4K Low result of 180.5 FPS further supports this: as resolution increases, the gap narrows because the GPU becomes the bottleneck, but the CPU's ceiling appears to be around 196 FPS.

The processor's multi-threaded performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14,372 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 7,579, is sufficient for Overpower's action-oriented gameplay. The single-thread score of 2,029 in Cinebench R23 is more telling for gaming, as it reflects the CPU's ability to handle the primary game thread. The data shows that the i5-11400F does not prevent the GPU from reaching high frame rates, but it does cap the absolute maximum around 196 FPS at 1080p Low, which is still an excellent result.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal balance between visual quality and performance is found at High settings across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, High delivers 146.9 FPS, which is 23% faster than Ultra's 119.2 FPS while still providing significant visual improvements over Medium's 157.3 FPS. The margin between High and Medium is only 10.4 FPS, making High the sweet spot for quality without sacrificing much speed.

At 2560x1440, High produces 130.2 FPS, which is comfortably above the 104.6 FPS of Ultra. This 25.6 FPS difference is substantial, and for most users, High will provide a more consistent experience. The 4K resolution tells a similar story: High yields 107.9 FPS versus Ultra's 91.1 FPS. While both are playable, the 16.8 FPS advantage of High ensures smoother motion in fast-paced action sequences.

For players prioritizing maximum refresh rate, Low settings at 1440p (189.8 FPS) or 1080p (196.2 FPS) are viable, but the visual compromise is severe. Medium settings offer a reasonable alternative, with 157.3 FPS at 1080p and 141.2 FPS at 1440p, but the jump to High adds only 10-11 FPS of cost while likely providing notably better visuals. The data strongly suggests High as the default preset, with Ultra reserved for scenarios where the player values image quality over the extra 16-25 FPS.
