Overpower

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti ranks 462nd out of 1,744 tested combinations in Overpower. This places the combo in the top 26.5% of all tested systems, a strong position that reflects a balanced pairing of a capable 10-core processor with a high-end Ampere graphics card. The ranking suggests that while this is not an absolute top-tier configuration, it sits comfortably in the upper quartile, indicating that the system will deliver consistently high frame rates without significant bottlenecking in this action title.

How This Combo Ranks

The 462nd position out of 1,744 combos places this system well within the top third of all tested configurations. This percentile ranking is notably higher than what either component achieves individually, with the CPU sitting at the 82nd percentile and the GPU at the 83rd percentile among their respective peers. The combination appears to leverage the strengths of both components effectively, as the ranking in this specific game exceeds what a simple average of the two percentiles would suggest. The data shows a well-matched system where neither component is severely limiting the other, allowing the hardware to perform near its collective potential in Overpower's demanding action sequences. This rank also implies that the system outperforms a significant majority of tested builds, making it a formidable configuration for this title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 912.4 GB/s. This memory configuration is particularly relevant for Overpower, as the action genre often benefits from high texture throughput and rapid asset streaming. The GPU's boost clock of 1665 MHz, combined with its 10,240 shading units, provides substantial raw compute power, evidenced by its 34.10 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The card's 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores also suggest readiness for advanced rendering features, though the measured FPS data does not specify whether ray tracing or DLSS is enabled. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is ample for the resolutions tested, and the high bandwidth ensures that the GPU is rarely starved for data. Benchmark results show the GPU achieving a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,077 and a Passmark G3D score of 26,896, placing it at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rival being the RTX 3090 at just 0.5% higher average score.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling across resolutions reveals a clear pattern of GPU limitation at higher settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 212.8 FPS, which drops to 186 FPS at 1440p Low (a 12.6% reduction) and further to 158.2 FPS at 4K Low (a 25.7% reduction from 1080p). This scaling is relatively gentle, suggesting that at Low settings the CPU maintains a strong frame pacing role. However, at Ultra settings, the scaling becomes more pronounced: from 102.6 FPS at 1080p to 89.4 FPS at 1440p (a 12.9% drop) and then to 77.4 FPS at 4K (a 24.6% drop from 1080p). The transition from 1440p to 4K at Ultra shows a 13.4% decrease, indicating that the GPU is becoming the primary constraint as pixel count rises. Notably, the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution: at 1080p the difference is 110.2 FPS, while at 4K it narrows to 80.8 FPS. This narrowing gap suggests that at 4K, the GPU is saturated regardless of settings, making the resolution the dominant factor in performance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the system delivers 131.2 FPS, which is only 6.4% lower than High settings (123.3 FPS) but provides a substantial 28% uplift over Ultra (102.6 FPS). At 1440p, Medium produces 115.8 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and only 6.7% below High settings at 108.6 FPS. Even at 4K, Medium maintains 103 FPS, which is 33% higher than Ultra's 77.4 FPS while being only 13.2% lower than High's 91 FPS. The data indicates that Medium provides the most efficient use of GPU resources, as the performance gain from dropping to Low is significant (158.2 FPS at 4K) but comes at a substantial visual cost. For players prioritizing smooth gameplay over maximum fidelity, Medium is the clear choice, offering frame rates that are 25-30% higher than Ultra while maintaining respectable visual quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the system demonstrates remarkable versatility. Low settings produce 212.8 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates that the CPU is capable of driving very high frame rates. Medium settings yield 131.2 FPS, High delivers 123.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 102.6 FPS. The step from Medium to High is modest (6.0% reduction), while the jump from High to Ultra is slightly larger (16.8% reduction). This suggests that Ultra settings introduce effects that are disproportionately expensive.

At 1440p, the frame rates remain highly playable across all settings. Low produces 186 FPS, Medium reaches 115.8 FPS, High achieves 108.6 FPS, and Ultra maintains 89.4 FPS. The relative scaling between settings is consistent with 1080p, with Medium being 37.7% lower than Low but only 6.2% higher than High. The 1440p data shows that even at the highest settings, the system stays above 85 FPS, providing a smooth experience on high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 4K, the GPU load becomes more apparent. Low settings deliver 158.2 FPS, which is still excellent for 4K gaming. Medium drops to 103 FPS, High reaches 91 FPS, and Ultra falls to 77.4 FPS. The performance gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 34.9%, which is larger than the 29.6% gap observed at 1080p. This indicates that at 4K, the GPU is working harder to fill the additional pixels, making the settings selection more impactful. The 4K Ultra result of 77.4 FPS remains above 60 FPS, but the headroom is significantly reduced compared to lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F features 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This 13th-generation Raptor Lake processor, built on a 10 nm process, demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21,279 and a single-core score of 3,004. The CPU's 20 MB of shared L3 cache is substantial for gaming workloads, and its Passmark multithread score of 25,032 places it at the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. The data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p Low (212.8 FPS). However, the CPU's influence becomes more apparent when comparing the scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings, where the FPS drops by only 12.6% (from 212.8 to 186). This relatively small drop suggests that at Low settings, the CPU is beginning to reach its limits in terms of frame generation, whereas at Ultra settings, the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck. The CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-13620H, scores nearly identically with a delta of 0.1%, confirming that the i5-13400F is well-positioned within the mid-range desktop segment. The processor's 65W TDP indicates efficient operation, and its support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory provides flexibility, though the measured FPS data does not specify which memory type was used.
