Overpower

Overpower is an action title, and the measured results for the Intel Core i5-12400 + AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT describe a system that is strong at 1080p, workable at 1440p with high settings, and noticeably strained at 4K on heavier presets. The CPU carries a 77th-percentile aggregate score, the GPU sits at the 63rd percentile, and the pairing ranks 1090th out of 1744 tested combos in this game. The frame-rate pattern is consistent with a balanced setup that becomes GPU-limited as resolution and preset quality increase.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS rows for this combo are:

| Preset | 1920x1080 | 2560x1440 | 3840x2160 |

| Low | 132.5 | 121.2 | 104.8 |

| Medium | 82.4 | 77.8 | 64 |

| High | 79.5 | 72.5 | 58.1 |

| Ultra | 67 | 59.1 | 49.7 |

The scaling from 1080p to 4K is present at every preset, but the size of the penalty changes with the preset. On Low, the combo goes from 132.5 at 1080p to 121.2 at 1440p and then to 104.8 at 4K; those are all workable frame rates. On High, the progression is 79.5 to 72.5 to 58.1. On Ultra, it falls from 67 to 59.1 to 49.7.

What this says about the limiting component is fairly clear. The CPU is capable of delivering 132.5 FPS at 1080p Low, so the low-resolution end of the dataset is not being held back by the i5-12400. As the pixel count rises, the frame-rate drop becomes larger in absolute terms, and the 4K Ultra result of 49.7 is the lowest measured value in the dataset. That points to the Radeon RX 7600 XT as the main constraint when both resolution and preset quality are pushed upward.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 and a boost clock of 4.40. Its aggregate benchmark score is 19850, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. The single-thread results are strong: Cinebench R23 single-core is 2249 and Passmark single-thread is 3456. Multi-thread performance is also healthy, with Cinebench R23 multi-core at 15935 and Passmark multithread at 18747.

The nearest CPU rivals in the data are extremely close. The Intel Core i7-9700 scores 19831 with a delta of 0.1, the i7-8700 scores 19894 with a delta of -0.2, the Threadripper PRO 5995WX scores 19928 with a delta of -0.4, and the i5-11600K scores 19771 with a delta of 0.4. That places the i5-12400 in a very tight aggregate-performance band around those four chips, which is notable because the i5-12400 is a 6-core/12-thread desktop part rather than a high-core-count workstation chip.

In Overpower, the CPU is not the bottleneck at the low end. The 1080p Low row at 132.5 FPS is the highest score in the entire measured set, so the game is getting enough CPU throughput to keep frame rates high when the GPU is lightly loaded. The strong single-core result aligns with the action genre, where per-core performance often sets the ceiling for high-FPS scenarios.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with 16 GB GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. Its clocks are 1980 MHz base, 2470 MHz game, and 2755 MHz boost. The GPU has 2048 shading units, 128 texture units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray accelerators. In aggregate benchmarks, it scores 20146 on average and ranks in the 63rd percentile of all GPUs.

The nearest GPU rivals show a close cluster. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 20088 with a delta of 0.3, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 20258 with a delta of -0.6, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER scores 19774 with a delta of 1.9, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534 with a delta of -1.9. In other words, the RX 7600 XT is essentially on par with the RX 7600 in aggregate GPU benchmark score, while being slightly ahead of the RX 460 and the RTX 2060 SUPER.

The game data reflects that mid-range positioning. At 1080p High, the combo achieves 79.5 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 72.5. At 4K High, it falls to 58.1. The Ultra preset shows the same trend: 67 at 1080p, 59.1 at 1440p, and 49.7 at 4K. The 16 GB frame buffer is not the apparent limiting factor in these rows, since the frame-rate decline tracks preset quality rather than showing a sudden cliff tied to memory capacity. The GPU becomes the deciding component at 4K Ultra, where the measured value is the lowest in the entire dataset.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows point to High at 1440p as the best combination of preset quality and frame rate for this combo. At 2560x1440 with High settings, the average is 72.5 FPS, which sits above the 1440p Ultra result of 59.1 and only slightly below the 1440p Medium result of 77.8. That makes High the reasonable target for a 1440p display.

For 1080p, the data favors High as well. The difference between Medium and High at 1080p is small: 82.4 versus 79.5. The drop from High to Ultra is larger, falling to 67, so there is little reason to go past High if the goal is to preserve a comfortable frame-rate margin. Low settings are unnecessary at 1080p because even High keeps the average well above the 1080p Ultra row.

For 4K, the best measured row is Medium at 64 FPS. The 4K High row drops to 58.1, and 4K Ultra falls to 49.7. If the target is the highest visual quality that still stays ahead of the lower 4K presets, Medium is the measured sweet spot. The 4K Low row is 104.8, but it is the least demanding visual tier and not the best experience for an action game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank in Overpower is 1090 out of 1744 tested combinations. That places this pairing in the thick of the database rather than near the top. The component-level data tells a slightly different story: the CPU is at the 77th percentile and the GPU is at the 63rd percentile, both above their respective midpoints. Yet the combined result in this game is in the latter portion of the tested list.

This suggests that aggregate component benchmarks do not translate directly into a high Overpower ranking. The measured FPS at 1080p High is 79.5 and at 1440p High is 72.5, which are solid results, but the rank indicates that many other tested CPU-GPU combinations produce higher frame rates in this specific title. The GPU’s average benchmark score is close to the RX 7600, and its nearest rivals are all within a tight band; the game data reflects that mid-range competitiveness rather than top-tier performance. For a builder looking at this pairing, the rank is a useful caution that this combo is competent but not exceptional in Overpower.

FAQ

Q: How does this combo perform at 1080p High in Overpower?

A: The measured average is 79.5 FPS. The surrounding 1080p rows are 132.5 on Low, 82.4 on Medium, and 67 on Ultra.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K?

A: At 4K Low it averages 104.8 FPS, but at 4K High it drops to 58.1 and at 4K Ultra to 49.7. The 4K Medium row is 64, which is better than High or Ultra at that resolution.
