Overpower

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Overpower reveals a clear scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Ultra settings, the combo delivers 122.8 FPS at 1080p, drops to 107.9 FPS at 1440p, and falls further to 92.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 24.6% performance reduction from 1080p to 4K at Ultra quality, indicating that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER remains the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

The scaling behavior changes dramatically when examining Low settings. At 1080p Low, the system produces 230.7 FPS, while 1440p Low yields 218.3 FPS, and 4K Low still manages 188.1 FPS. The relatively modest drop between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings—only 5.4%—suggests that the Intel Core i5-12400 begins to limit performance at lower resolutions where the GPU has more headroom. This is classic CPU-bound behavior: when graphical load is light, the six-core processor's capabilities cap the frame rate.

Medium settings show a similar pattern to High. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 156 FPS, which drops to 138.6 FPS at 1440p and 119.8 FPS at 4K. The High preset delivers 145.2 FPS at 1080p, 127.6 FPS at 1440p, and 110.8 FPS at 4K. The gap between Medium and High narrows as resolution increases: at 1080p the difference is 10.8 FPS, but at 4K it shrinks to 9 FPS.

The data indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 672.3 GB/s bandwidth handles 4K textures without issue. The GPU's pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s scale appropriately across resolutions. The 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability shows its strength in the 4K Ultra result of 92.6 FPS, which remains highly playable.

FAQ

Q: How does the combo perform at 4K Ultra settings?

A: The system delivers an average of 92.6 FPS at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings. This is 30.2 FPS lower than the 1080p Ultra result of 122.8 FPS, showing that 4K Ultra imposes significant load on the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.

Q: Is the Intel Core i5-12400 a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: Benchmark results indicate yes. At 1080p Low, the system produces 230.7 FPS, while 1440p Low achieves 218.3 FPS—only a 12.4 FPS difference. This small gap suggests the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads limit frame rates more at lower resolutions.

Q: What is the performance difference between High and Ultra at 1440p?

A: High settings produce 127.6 FPS at 2560x1440, while Ultra delivers 107.9 FPS. The difference of 19.7 FPS represents the cost of enabling the most demanding visual features in Overpower.

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 194th out of 1,744 tested combinations in Overpower. This places it in the top 11.1% of all tested systems for this game.

Q: What frame rates can players expect at 4K with Medium settings?

A: At 3840x2160 Medium, the combo achieves 119.8 FPS average. This is notably higher than the 4K High result of 110.8 FPS, making Medium a strong choice for 4K gaming with this hardware.

Q: Does the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB VRAM help at 4K?

A: The 16 GB GDDR6X memory with 672.3 GB/s bandwidth supports the 4K results. The 4K Ultra average of 92.6 FPS indicates that VRAM capacity is sufficient for this game's highest settings at 3840x2160.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 brings 6 cores and 12 threads to this configuration, running at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosting to 4.40 GHz. This Alder Lake-S processor uses a 10 nm process and features an 18 MB shared L3 cache. The CPU's benchmark scores provide context for its gaming performance: it achieves 15,935 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,249 in single-core, while 3DMark results show 5,873 with 16 threads and 910 single-thread.

The CPU's role in Overpower becomes clear when examining the FPS data. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 230.7 FPS, which is the highest result across all tested configurations. However, the scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings (230.7 to 218.3 FPS, a 5.4% drop) suggests the CPU is near its limit at lower resolutions. The processor's passmark single-thread score of 3,456 and multithread score of 18,747 indicate solid per-core performance for game logic and physics.

The i5-12400's 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR4/DDR5 memory support provide a balanced platform. The processor's percentile ranking of 77 among all CPUs places it above the Intel Core i7-9700 (which has an average score of 19,831, a 0.1% difference) and slightly below the Intel Core i7-8700 (19,894, -0.2% delta). This puts the i5-12400 in competitive territory for gaming workloads.

At higher resolutions and settings, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as evidenced by the 4K Ultra result of 92.6 FPS. The CPU's 12 threads handle the game's action genre requirements without becoming a significant constraint at 4K, where the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's rendering workload dominates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i5-12400 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 194th out of 1,744 tested combos in Overpower. This places the system in the top 11.1% of all configurations tested for this game, a strong showing given the breadth of hardware combinations evaluated.

The GPU's performance percentile of 86 among all graphics cards indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is a high-tier component. Its average benchmark score of 48,704 places it near the NVIDIA CMP 50HX (49,071, -0.7% delta) and above the NVIDIA RTX A2000 (47,915, 1.6% delta). The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,569 and Passmark G3D score of 31,811 support its ranking.

The CPU's percentile of 77 among all processors is lower than the GPU's percentile, suggesting the i5-12400 is the weaker link in this pairing. However, the combo's 194th rank out of 1,744 demonstrates that this mismatch does not significantly harm overall gaming performance in Overpower. The data shows that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER compensates for the CPU's mid-range standing in most scenarios.

The rank reflects the measured FPS results across all resolution and settings combinations. With 4K Ultra producing 92.6 FPS and 1080p Low reaching 230.7 FPS, the system delivers playable frame rates across the entire test matrix. The combo's position relative to other tested configurations suggests that higher-ranked systems likely pair the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER with more powerful CPUs, but the i5-12400's 6 cores and 12 threads prove sufficient for Overpower's demands.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates. Low settings yield 230.7 FPS, Medium delivers 156 FPS, High reaches 145.2 FPS, and Ultra achieves 122.8 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 107.9 FPS, showing the substantial impact of quality presets on performance. The jump from Low to Medium (74.7 FPS reduction) is the largest single-step drop, indicating that Medium settings introduce significant graphical effects that burden the GPU.

At 2560x1440, performance scales downward across all settings. Low produces 218.3 FPS, Medium 138.6 FPS, High 127.6 FPS, and Ultra 107.9 FPS. The gap between Medium and High narrows to 11 FPS at this resolution, compared to 10.8 FPS at 1080p. The 1440p Ultra result of 107.9 FPS remains above the 4K High result, showing that resolution has a greater impact than quality settings at this tier.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's capabilities are fully exercised. Low settings deliver 188.1 FPS, Medium 119.8 FPS, High 110.8 FPS, and Ultra 92.6 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest across all tested combinations but remains comfortably playable. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K (95.5 FPS difference) is slightly less than at 1080p, suggesting the GPU's rendering workload becomes more uniform at higher resolutions.

Across all resolutions, the pattern holds: Medium provides the largest FPS drop from Low, while the step from High to Ultra costs between 14.8 and 18.2 FPS depending on resolution. The data shows that players seeking the highest frame rates should prioritize Low settings at any resolution, while those wanting visual quality should consider Medium at 4K (119.8 FPS) as a balanced option.
