Overpower

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a remarkably balanced 1080p and 1440p experience in Overpower, with the data showing a clear performance ceiling at 4K Ultra. This combination ranks in the 57th percentile of all tested combos, suggesting it is a dependable mid-range contender rather than a high-end outlier, and the measured frames per second reveal a system where the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution increases.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 2146 out of 3713 tested combinations positions it in the 57.8th percentile of all systems tested in Overpower. This is not a top-tier configuration, but it is comfortably above the median, indicating that it handles the game's demands well for a mid-range setup. The rank suggests that while it will not dominate high-refresh-rate 4K gaming, it is a solid choice for mainstream resolutions.

Examining the components individually provides context for this placement. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all processors shows it is a strong performer, while the GPU's 65th percentile is slightly lower but still respectable. The gap between these two percentiles hints that the graphics card is the more limiting factor in this pairing, which is consistent with the measured FPS data showing a steeper drop at higher resolutions.

The nearest CPU rivals all score within a 0.4% delta of the i5-13400F, meaning that swapping to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS or Ryzen 7 6800H would likely yield nearly identical frame rates in Overpower. Similarly, the GPU's closest competitors, such as the Intel Arc A750 and RTX 3070 Mobile, are within 1.5% performance, so the combo's rank would not shift dramatically with those alternatives. This stability reinforces that the 2146 rank is a reliable indicator of the combo's mid-pack position.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is significant for Overpower, as the game's texture-heavy scenes at high resolutions can quickly consume available VRAM. The 8 GB capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the data shows a clear performance degradation at 4K, suggesting that memory bandwidth or capacity may become a bottleneck at that resolution.

The GPU's base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and it features 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s, which are adequate for the game's action-oriented visuals. The FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS is a modest figure by modern standards, but it is sufficient for the measured frame rates.

At 1080p, the GPU's role is less dominant, with the CPU able to keep up well, as evidenced by the high FPS on Low settings. However, at 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 52, indicating that the GPU is struggling to process the increased pixel count and graphical details. The presence of 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores suggests ray tracing and DLSS capabilities, though the measured data does not include those features, so their impact on performance is not quantified here.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how this combo performs across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its best results: 143 FPS on Low, 89 FPS on Medium, 83 FPS on High, and 69 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset shows a minimum FPS of 76 and a maximum of 102, indicating a stable frame delivery with some variance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops but remains playable: 127 FPS on Low, 79 FPS on Medium, 74 FPS on High, and 61 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at this resolution shows a minimum of 67 and a maximum of 91, suggesting a slightly wider frame time distribution than at 1080p. The Ultra preset at 61 FPS is right at the edge of the 60 FPS target, making it viable for most players.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. The Low preset still delivers a solid 108 FPS, but Medium drops to 68 FPS, High to 63 FPS, and Ultra to 52 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K has a minimum of 57 FPS and a maximum of 78, indicating that occasional dips below 60 FPS are possible. This data suggests that 4K is only truly playable at Low settings, where the frame rate remains high.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 20 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample capacity for game logic and asset streaming. The CPU's 65 W TDP indicates efficient power draw, though it requires a discrete GPU due to the lack of integrated graphics.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU shows strong multi-threaded performance: it scores 22,604 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 7,314 in 3DMark's 16-thread test. Single-thread performance is also respectable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,191 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 960. These numbers suggest that the CPU can handle both the game's main thread and background tasks without becoming a bottleneck.

The CPU's role in Overpower is most evident at lower resolutions and settings, where the GPU is not fully taxed. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 143 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's limit for this game. At 4K Ultra, however, the CPU is less of a factor, as the GPU's 52 FPS average indicates that the graphics card is the primary constraint. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking versus the GPU's 65th percentile supports this interpretation, showing that the processor has more headroom than the graphics card in this pairing.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p, the High preset offers a strong balance, delivering 83 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a visual upgrade over Medium's 89 FPS at a minor cost. The Ultra preset at 69 FPS is also viable, though the drop from High is noticeable without a proportional visual gain.

At 1440p, the High preset at 74 FPS is the recommended choice, as it maintains a smooth experience while staying above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 79 FPS is slightly faster, but the visual difference is minimal, making High the better value for the small FPS trade-off. The Ultra preset at 61 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes, so it is only advisable for players who prioritize visual fidelity over stability.

For 4K, the Low preset at 108 FPS is the only setting that provides a consistently high frame rate, making it the clear recommendation for competitive play or smooth performance. The Medium preset at 68 FPS is acceptable for casual play, though the minimum of 57 FPS indicates potential stutter in heavy moments. The High and Ultra presets at 63 and 52 FPS, respectively, are not recommended for most players, as they fall below or near the 60 FPS target.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear trend as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 143 FPS, which drops to 127 FPS at 1440p Low and 108 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a decline of 11.2% from 1080p to 1440p and a further 15% from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, suggesting that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are becoming more strained at higher pixel counts.

At the High preset, the drop is more pronounced: 83 FPS at 1080p, 74 FPS at 1440p, and 63 FPS at 4K. This is a 10.8% decrease from 1080p to 1440p and a 14.9% decrease from 1440p to 4K. The pattern is similar for Medium, where 89 FPS at 1080p falls to 79 FPS at 1440p and 68 FPS at 4K, and for Ultra, where 69 FPS at 1080p drops to 61 FPS at 1440p and 52 FPS at 4K.

The consistent percentage drops across settings indicate that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU's performance does not scale with resolution. The 4K Ultra result of 52 FPS is 24.6% lower than the 1080p Ultra result, highlighting the GPU's difficulty with high-resolution rendering. This data suggests that players targeting 4K should either reduce settings to Low or consider a more powerful GPU, while those at 1080p or 1440p can enjoy higher presets without significant frame rate penalties.
