Overpower

Overpower’s measured frame rates for the Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination reveal a graphics-bound experience across most settings, though the scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K also exposes the CPU’s influence at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo posts 143.8 FPS, but that number drops sharply to 126.5 FPS at 1440p Low and 110.1 FPS at 4K Low. This 23.4% reduction from 1080p to 4K on the lowest preset indicates that even at lower graphical loads, the GPU is still the primary limiter, though the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to avoid a hard bottleneck. The picture changes more dramatically when moving up the quality ladder. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 85.9 FPS at 1080p to 73.1 FPS at 1440p and 61.1 FPS at 4K—a stepwise decline that tracks closely with pixel count. The Ultra preset shows the most severe scaling, with 68.2 FPS at 1080p dropping to 63.6 FPS at 1440p and 52.1 FPS at 4K. The gap between Low and Ultra grows from 75.6 FPS at 1080p to 58 FPS at 4K, confirming that the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus are being taxed heavily by the higher-detail settings.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear pattern: Overpower becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution rises, but the RTX 2070 SUPER still delivers playable results even at 4K on High settings. The 4K Ultra result of 52.1 FPS is the lowest measured value across the entire matrix, yet it remains above the 50 FPS threshold for smooth action gameplay. What is more telling is the relative performance drop between Medium and High at each resolution. At 1080p, moving from Medium (91.1 FPS) to High (85.9 FPS) costs only 5.7% performance, while the jump from High to Ultra (68.2 FPS) costs an additional 20.6%. This nonlinear scaling suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that disproportionately impact the GPU’s 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput. At 1440p, the same pattern holds: Medium delivers 80.6 FPS, High drops to 73.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 63.6 FPS. The 4K numbers compress further, with Medium at 66.3 FPS, High at 61.1 FPS, and Ultra at 52.1 FPS. The shrinking absolute differences at 4K—only 14.2 FPS separating Medium from Ultra—indicate that the GPU is approaching its memory bandwidth ceiling of 448.0 GB/s, making additional settings changes less impactful than at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting a locked 60 FPS experience, the data suggests that High settings at 4K (61.1 FPS) is the optimal balance, as it delivers the visual fidelity of the High preset while staying above the 60 FPS mark. At 1440p, Medium settings (80.6 FPS) provide ample headroom for competitive play, but High (73.1 FPS) is the better choice for those prioritizing image quality without sacrificing smoothness. The 1080p row offers the most flexibility: Medium (91.1 FPS) and High (85.9 FPS) both exceed 85 FPS, making either viable depending on the user’s preference for frame rate versus visual detail. The Ultra preset is only recommended at 1080p (68.2 FPS) for users with high-refresh displays who can tolerate dips, since the 1440p Ultra result (63.6 FPS) and 4K Ultra result (52.1 FPS) both approach or fall below the 60 FPS threshold. Low settings are generally unnecessary for this combo, as even the most demanding preset at 1080p stays above 68 FPS. The measured data shows no single “best” setting; instead, the choice hinges on resolution: High at 4K, High or Medium at 1440p, and Medium or High at 1080p.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for Overpower, a conclusion supported by both the frame rate scaling and the GPU’s specifications. The card’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which directly correlates with the 4K performance differences observed between presets. The base clock of 1605 MHz and boost clock of 1770 MHz, combined with 2560 shading units, produce 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute—a figure that aligns with the mid-range performance tier the card occupies. The GPU’s 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but not explicitly leveraged in the measured FPS data, suggesting Overpower’s rasterization workload dominates. The TU104 chip, built on TSMC’s 12 nm process with 13,600 million transistors, runs at a 215 W TDP, which is consistent with the card’s dual-slot design and 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connectors. Benchmark data places this GPU at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 22206. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307 (0.5% higher), while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 trails at 21670 (2.5% lower). The RTX 2070 SUPER’s 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for all tested presets, as evidenced by the absence of any catastrophic frame rate drops at 4K Ultra (52.1 FPS), which would typically indicate memory thrashing.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 1744 tested combos in the database, this pairing of the Intel Core i5-12400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1051st, placing it in the 39.7th percentile of all combinations. This mid-pack positioning is consistent with the component-level benchmarks: the CPU sits at the 77th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is at the 65th percentile. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 19221 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-8700K (19210, a negligible 0.1% difference), and it edges out the AMD Ryzen 5 7533HS by 0.7%. The GPU’s performance is similarly clustered, with the RTX 2070 SUPER’s 22206 average score sitting just 0.5% below the NVIDIA RTX A400 and 2.3% below the RTX 4060 Mobile. The combination’s rank reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is severely mismatched. However, the rank also indicates that a substantial number of combos—693 to be precise—achieve higher performance in Overpower, likely those with newer GPUs or higher-tier CPUs. The data does not show any specific bottleneck in this combo; rather, the 1051st rank out of 1744 suggests a solid mid-range result that prioritizes consistency over peak performance.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Overpower?

A: The data shows that 1440p High (73.1 FPS) offers the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, while 4K High (61.1 FPS) remains playable. For maximum smoothness, 1080p Medium (91.1 FPS) or High (85.9 FPS) are preferable.

Q: Does the Ultra preset provide a playable experience at 4K?

A: Yes, but barely. The measured 4K Ultra average is 52.1 FPS, which sits above the 50 FPS threshold but leaves little margin for demanding scenes. Users seeking consistent 60 FPS should use High at 4K instead.

Q: How does this combo compare to the RTX 2070 SUPER’s closest rivals?

A: The GPU’s average benchmark score of 22206 is 0.5% lower than the NVIDIA RTX A400 (22307) and 2.5% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 5700 (21670). In-game, the RTX 2070 SUPER delivers 61.1 FPS at 4K High.

Q: Is the CPU a bottleneck at any tested setting?

A: The scaling from 1080p Low (143.8 FPS) to 1440p Low (126.5 FPS) shows a 12.0% drop, indicating the GPU remains the primary limiter even at low settings. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads with a 4.40 GHz boost clock are sufficient for all presets.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Medium and High at 1440p?

A: The difference is 7.5 FPS, with Medium at 80.6 FPS and High at 73.1 FPS. This small gap suggests the High preset is worth the minor performance cost for improved visuals.

Q: How much performance is lost going from 1080p to 4K on High settings?

A: The average frame rate drops from 85.9 FPS at 1080p to 61.1 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 28.9%. This 24.8 FPS loss is consistent with the fourfold increase in pixel count that the RTX 2070 SUPER must process.
