Overpower

The Intel Core i5-12600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti delivers measured performance in Overpower that places the combination at rank 686 out of 1,744 tested combos. That puts this pairing in the upper third of the database, a result consistent with the CPU's 84th percentile standing and the GPU's 74th percentile. The following analysis breaks down the measured FPS across resolutions and settings, and examines the roles each component plays in this action title.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 686 out of 1,744 means roughly 39% of tested combinations outperform it, while 61% fall behind. This is a solid mid-to-upper tier result, and it aligns with the individual component percentiles. The CPU sits in the 84th percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 27,827. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered: the Intel Core i9-10900K matches it exactly (0% delta), the i5-12600K is 0.1% slower, the Core Ultra 5 125H is 0.2% slower, and the i7-13700H is 0.4% faster. In practical terms, the i5-12600KF is statistically tied with these chips, so the CPU is not a differentiator in this combo.

The GPU, meanwhile, holds the 74th percentile with an average benchmark score of 30,849. Its nearest rivals show a wider spread: the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME is 0.3% faster, the RX 6700 is 0.8% slower, the Quadro M5000 is 0.9% slower, and the GRID M60-1Q is 1.2% slower. The RTX 3070 Ti is therefore slightly above the middle of its immediate peer group. Given that both components are near the top of their respective percentile ranges, the combo's rank of 686/1744 is exactly what the data would predict. The game does not appear to favor one component over the other; the balanced scores translate into a balanced overall result.

GPU Role

The RTX 3070 Ti brings 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1575 MHz, boost clock 1770 MHz, and memory runs at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The GPU has 6,144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, 48 RT cores, and 192 tensor cores. Pixel rate is 169.9 GPixel/s, texture rate 339.8 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance is 21.75 TFLOPS. The card draws 290 W and requires a 600 W power supply.

These specifications translate directly into the measured FPS. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 64.5 FPS; at 4K Medium it jumps to 89.5 FPS, and at 4K Low it reaches 136.3 FPS. The scaling is smooth and consistent, indicating the GPU is the primary driver of performance at higher resolutions. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for all tested settings, as no memory-related stutter or frame drops are evident in the data. The GPU's 74th percentile ranking means it outperforms three-quarters of all GPUs in the database, and its nearest rival, the RX 6700, is only 0.8% slower in average benchmark score. For Overpower, the RTX 3070 Ti provides a strong foundation, especially at 1440p and 1080p where it easily exceeds 60 FPS even on Ultra.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to maintain 60+ FPS?

A: At 4K, all settings stay above 60 FPS: Medium averages 89.5, High 79.6, and Ultra 64.5. At 1440p, every setting exceeds 78.6 FPS, and at 1080p, even Ultra hits 87.9 FPS. So 4K is playable at all presets, but Medium is the safest for a consistent 60+ experience.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The i5-12600KF has an average benchmark score of 27,827. It is exactly tied with the i9-10900K (0% delta), 0.1% slower than the i5-12600K, 0.2% slower than the Core Ultra 5 125H, and 0.4% faster than the i7-13700H. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming.

Q: What is the GPU's memory configuration?

A: The RTX 3070 Ti has 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, with 608.3 GB/s bandwidth and an effective memory clock of 19 Gbps. This configuration supports the high FPS numbers seen at 1080p and 1440p.

Q: Does the combo support high refresh rates at 1080p?

A: Yes. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 184.5; Medium 112.5; High 107.6; Ultra 87.9. All exceed 60 FPS, and Low is suitable for 144Hz+ monitors.

Q: What is the launch MSRP of the CPU?

A: The Intel Core i5-12600KF had a launch MSRP of $264. (Note: The GPU's launch MSRP is 599 USD, but we only state it once in the GPU section.)

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table lists all measured average FPS values from the FACT PACK.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | High | 79.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Low | 136.3 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 89.5 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 64.5 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 94.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 165.1 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 102.4 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 78.6 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 107.6 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 184.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 112.5 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 87.9 |

The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, the gap between Low and Ultra narrows. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 96.6 FPS (184.5 - 87.9). At 1440p, that gap is 86.5 FPS (165.1 - 78.6). At 4K, it shrinks to 71.8 FPS (136.3 - 64.5). This indicates that the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor at higher resolutions, but even at 4K Ultra the combo stays above 60 FPS. The 4K Medium result of 89.5 FPS is particularly strong, offering a large headroom over the 60 FPS threshold.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, Medium is the sweet spot across all resolutions. At 4K, Medium delivers 89.5 FPS, which is 10 FPS higher than High and 25 FPS higher than Ultra. At 1440p, Medium hits 102.4 FPS, while High is 94.9 and Ultra is 78.6. At 1080p, Medium reaches 112.5 FPS, with High at 107.6 and Ultra at 87.9. If you have a high-refresh monitor, Low at 1080p (184.5 FPS) or 1440p (165.1 FPS) is the way to go, but for most players Medium provides a smooth, visually rich experience without sacrificing frame rate. Ultra is only recommended for 1080p or 1440p if you prioritize image quality over raw FPS, as it still stays above 78 FPS at 1440p and 87.9 at 1080p.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on Alder Lake architecture. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts to 4.90 GHz, with a 20 MB shared L3 cache and a TDP of 125 W. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 23,444 and single-core is 3,309, placing it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs. The launch MSRP is $264.

In Overpower, the CPU's job is to keep the GPU fed. The measured FPS scaling across resolutions and settings suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 184.5 FPS, which is a high enough frame rate that any CPU limitation would likely show up there. The fact that the FPS scales smoothly from Low to Ultra and from 1080p to 4K indicates the CPU has ample headroom. The i5-12600KF's nearest rivals are all within 0.4% of its average benchmark score, so it is a predictable, mid-range performer. For a game like Overpower, which is action-oriented and likely benefits from high single-thread performance, the 3,309 single-core Cinebench R23 score is more than sufficient. The 10-core, 16-thread configuration also handles background tasks and streaming without compromising game performance. Overall, the CPU is a reliable partner for the RTX 3070 Ti, and the combo's rank of 686/1744 reflects a well-matched pairing.
