CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This Alder Lake-S chip, built on Intel's 10 nm process, is a locked multiplier part with 18 MB of shared L3 cache. Its 65 W TDP classifies it as a mainstream desktop processor, and the benchmark results confirm it punches well above its modest power envelope in Overpower.

Single-thread performance is a key indicator for this action game. The CPU scores 909 in 3dmark_single_thread and 1680 in Cinebench R23 single-core. These numbers suggest the i5-12400F handles the primary game thread without bottlenecking the GPU. Multi-threaded results are equally solid: 12380 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 19433 in Passmark multithread. The 12-thread configuration provides enough parallel throughput for background tasks and physics calculations while maintaining consistent frame delivery.

The CPU's percentile ranking at 73 among all processors means it outperforms roughly three-quarters of the CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, scores nearly identically — a 0% delta — which places the i5-12400F in a performance tier where small architectural differences yield negligible real-world impact. The Intel Core 3 201E trails by 0.1%, while the Intel Core i5-1335U and AMD EPYC 7773X both lead by 0.3%. This clustering suggests the i5-12400F delivers consistent, predictable performance relative to its immediate competition.

In Overpower specifically, the CPU's role becomes apparent when examining the 1080p Low preset, which averages 231 FPS. At such high frame rates, the CPU's single-thread speed and cache hierarchy directly influence the ceiling. The 18 MB shared L3 cache helps maintain low-latency access to frequently used game data, while the 4.40 GHz boost clock ensures the primary thread gets maximum throughput. The Cinebench R15 single-core score of 244 and Geekbench single-core score of 1964 further corroborate that this processor has ample headroom for the game's core logic.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC's 5 nm process, with a die size of 294 mm² and 35,800 million transistors. It operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and boosts to 2475 MHz, paired with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus. Memory bandwidth measures 504.2 GB/s, which proves critical for high-resolution texture streaming in Overpower.

The GPU's compute specifications are substantial: 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. It also carries 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores, enabling hardware-accelerated ray tracing and DLSS features where the game supports them. The FP32 throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS positions this card as a high-end performer, and the pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s ensures efficient rasterization at 4K resolutions.

Benchmark results place the RTX 4070 SUPER at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 43223. Its nearest rivals cluster tightly: the Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262 (-0.1%), the RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268 (-0.1%), and the RTX 4090 Mobile leads by 1% at 43667. This narrow spread indicates the desktop 4070 SUPER delivers performance comparable to mobile flagship parts, which is notable given its 220 W TDP and dual-slot form factor.

In Overpower, the GPU's VRAM capacity becomes a differentiator at higher settings. The 12 GB GDDR6X buffer handles 4K textures without excessive swapping, as evidenced by the 86 FPS average at 3840x2160 Ultra. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth supports the data throughput required for action sequences with multiple on-screen effects. The boost clock of 2475 MHz provides the raw compute headroom needed to maintain high frame rates even when the game engine pushes complex shader workloads.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-12400F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 610th out of 3713 tested combinations in Overpower. That places it in the top 16.4% of all configurations evaluated, a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The rank reflects the balance between the two components — the CPU does not starve the GPU at lower resolutions, and the GPU scales well when resolution increases.

The combo's position becomes more meaningful when considered against the CPU and GPU percentile rankings independently. The CPU sits at the 73rd percentile, while the GPU holds the 83rd percentile. The combined rank of 610 out of 3713 suggests the pairing extracts near-optimal performance from both components in this game. If the CPU were significantly weaker, the rank would likely drop as frame rates at 1080p would be limited by processor throughput. Conversely, if the GPU were the constraint, higher resolutions would show more pronounced frame drops.

The data indicates this combo is well-matched for Overpower's demands. At 1080p High, the average FPS of 137 exceeds the refresh rate of most standard monitors, while at 4K Ultra, the 86 FPS average remains playable on high-refresh-rate panels. The rank of 610 reflects this versatility — the combo handles a wide range of settings and resolutions without a significant weak link.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS across resolutions reveals how the system scales from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the average FPS moves from 137 at 1920x1080 to 122 at 2560x1440, then drops to 103 at 3840x2160. This represents a 25% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases.

Low settings show a similar trend but with higher absolute numbers: 231 FPS at 1080p, 210 FPS at 1440p, and 178 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is 23%, slightly less than High settings. This suggests that at Low settings, the CPU still contributes meaningfully to frame rate, as the GPU has less work to do per frame.

Medium settings provide the most complete picture with min and max FPS data. At 1080p, the average is 147 FPS with a min of 125 and max of 169. At 1440p, the average drops to 131 FPS with a min of 111 and max of 151. At 4K, the average falls to 112 FPS with a min of 95 and max of 128. The spread between min and max FPS narrows as resolution increases — from 44 FPS at 1080p to 33 FPS at 4K — which indicates more consistent frame pacing at higher resolutions where the GPU is fully utilized.

Ultra settings show the steepest scaling curve: 113 FPS at 1080p, 101 FPS at 1440p, and 86 FPS at 4K. The 24% drop from 1080p to 4K is consistent with the other presets, reinforcing that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, but the i5-12400F still provides enough throughput to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at 4K Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings average 231 FPS, making this the absolute ceiling for the pairing. Medium settings average 147 FPS with a minimum of 125 and maximum of 169, providing a smooth experience for competitive play. High settings average 137 FPS, while Ultra settings bring the average down to 113 FPS. All presets at 1080p exceed 100 FPS, confirming that the CPU-GPU balance favors high refresh rates at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the expected drop. Low settings average 210 FPS, still well above 144 Hz displays. Medium settings average 131 FPS with a minimum of 111 and maximum of 151, keeping frame times consistent. High settings average 122 FPS, while Ultra settings average 101 FPS. The minimum FPS of 111 at Medium settings indicates the combo maintains playable frame rates even during intense action sequences.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload becomes the dominant factor. Low settings average 178 FPS, which is remarkable for 4K and suggests the game is well-optimized for lower presets. Medium settings average 112 FPS with a minimum of 95 and maximum of 128, ensuring a stable experience on standard 60 Hz displays. High settings average 103 FPS, while Ultra settings average 86 FPS. The minimum FPS of 95 at Medium settings confirms that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate stays above 90 FPS.

The Ultra preset at 4K delivers 86 FPS, which is a 24% reduction from the 113 FPS at 1080p Ultra. This scaling pattern shows the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's highest settings, while the i5-12400F continues to provide adequate CPU support. The measured data indicates this combo is capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and smooth 4K gameplay across all presets.
