# Overpower with Intel Core i5-13400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Overpower, with the data suggesting the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution climbs. This combination ranks in the 88.7th percentile of all tested combos, sitting at position 421 out of 3,713, which places it firmly in the upper tier of systems. The measured frame rates across all resolutions and settings reveal a consistent pattern: the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER provides enough headroom at lower resolutions to push frame rates well beyond 200 FPS, but that headroom narrows significantly at 4K, particularly under Ultra settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and tells a clear story about which component limits performance. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 145 FPS at 1920x1080 to 129 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 110 FPS at 3840x2160 — a total reduction of 35 FPS, or roughly 24%, when moving from the lowest to highest resolution. The Low settings preset shows an even steeper absolute drop: 241 FPS at 1080p, 223 FPS at 1440p, and 189 FPS at 4K, representing a 52 FPS decline. This pattern indicates the GPU is the limiting factor; if the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates would stay relatively flat across resolutions, but they do not.

The Medium preset follows the same trajectory, with 156 FPS at 1080p, 139 FPS at 1440p, and 118 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings produce the lowest absolute numbers but the smallest relative drop: 120 FPS at 1080p, 107 FPS at 1440p, and 91 FPS at 4K — a 29 FPS difference. Interestingly, the scaling between 1440p and 4K is less severe than between 1080p and 1440p for all presets, suggesting diminishing returns on resolution scaling as pixel count increases. The data implies that at 1080p, the CPU may be starting to impose some limits, since the gap between 1440p and 1080p is smaller than the gap between 4K and 1440p for most settings.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which appears sufficient for Overpower even at 4K Ultra. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2340 MHz and boosts to 2610 MHz, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s, which are the raw throughput metrics that matter for rasterizing a fast-paced action title like Overpower.

The 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power, supported by 8,448 shading units and 264 tensor cores, gives this GPU substantial headroom for modern rendering techniques. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the system still manages 91 FPS average, which suggests the GPU's 96 ROPs and 264 TMUs are being utilized effectively. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,569 and PassMark G3D score of 31,811 place this GPU in the 76th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival is the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 with a delta of -0.4%, indicating the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is competitive at its performance tier.

The VRAM capacity is worth noting: 16 GB is generous for a game from 2023, and the data shows no evidence of memory capacity limiting performance at any setting. Even at 4K Ultra, where texture memory demands are highest, the system maintains playable frame rates. The GDDR6X memory type and 672.3 GB/s bandwidth appear well-matched to the GPU's compute capabilities, as evidenced by the relatively smooth scaling between presets at each resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset offers the best experience balance. At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers 156 FPS average with a minimum of 133 FPS and maximum of 180 FPS, while the High preset drops to 145 FPS with no min/max data recorded. The Low preset reaches 241 FPS, but the visual quality trade-off is substantial. For 1080p, Medium appears to be the sweet spot: it maintains a minimum FPS above 130, which is well within high-refresh-rate monitor territory, while providing better visual fidelity than Low.

At 1440p, the Medium preset again stands out with 139 FPS average, 118 FPS minimum, and 160 FPS maximum. The High preset at 129 FPS is also viable, but the Medium's minimum frame rate of 118 FPS is more reassuring for consistent performance during intense action sequences. The Ultra preset at 107 FPS is playable but pushes the minimum below the 100 FPS threshold that many competitive players prefer. At 4K, the Medium preset provides 118 FPS average with a 101 FPS minimum and 136 FPS maximum, which is the only 4K preset with recorded min/max data — the others only have averages. This makes Medium the recommended preset at 4K, as it maintains frame rates above 100 FPS even in the worst-case measured scenario.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of Intel Core i5-13400F and RTX 4070 Ti SUPER ranks 421st out of 3,713 tested combos in Overpower, placing it in the top 11.3% of all systems tested. The percentile ranking of 88.7% indicates that this combo outperforms the vast majority of alternatives, but it is not at the absolute top tier. The CPU itself ranks in the 77th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 25,292, while the GPU ranks in the 76th percentile with an average score of 31,087.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its positioning: the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS scores 25,284 (0% delta), the Intel Core 5 120 scores 25,362 (-0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D scores 25,365 (-0.3%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25,201 (+0.4%). These deltas are all within 0.4%, indicating the i5-13400F is tightly clustered with its competitors. The GPU's nearest rivals show slightly larger deltas: the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 at -0.4%, NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q at -0.4%, NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at -1.4%, and NVIDIA TITAN RTX at -1.9%. The combination's rank of 421 suggests that while neither component is a top-10 performer individually, their pairing works well together for this game.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F contributes 10 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosting to 4.60 GHz. This Raptor Lake-S architecture chip uses a 10 nm process and supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel interface. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The 65W TDP suggests efficient operation, and the processor is built on Intel Socket 1700 with PCIe Gen 5 support offering 16 lanes from the CPU.

Benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 22,604, with a single-core score of 3,191. Geekbench multicore reaches 11,068 and single-core 1,996. PassMark multithread scores 25,032, with a single-thread score of 3,634. The 3DMark tests reveal scaling from 1,880 (2 threads) to 7,307 (max threads), indicating good thread scaling up to 8 threads (5,591) before tapering off. This behavior suggests the CPU can handle the multi-threaded workload of Overpower without becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions.

The data supports the conclusion that the CPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 241 FPS, which approaches the practical limits of many displays. The CPU's single-thread performance, as evidenced by the 960 3DMark single-thread score and 1,996 Geekbench single-core score, is sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates. However, the gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings (241 to 223 FPS) is smaller than the gap between 1440p and 4K (223 to 189 FPS), which could indicate the CPU begins to play a more significant role at very high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers 241 FPS on Low, 156 FPS on Medium (133 min, 180 max), 145 FPS on High, and 120 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset's recorded range of 133-180 FPS provides a 47 FPS spread, which is the widest of any preset at this resolution. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates are 223 FPS on Low, 139 FPS on Medium (118 min, 160 max), 129 FPS on High, and 107 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 1440p shows a 42 FPS range, slightly narrower than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops further: 189 FPS on Low, 118 FPS on Medium (101 min, 136 max), 110 FPS on High, and 91 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset's minimum of 101 FPS is notable — it is the only 4K preset with recorded min/max data, and it still maintains triple-digit performance. The step-down from Medium to High at 4K (118 to 110 FPS) is an 8 FPS difference, while the step from High to Ultra (110 to 91 FPS) is a 19 FPS drop, suggesting Ultra settings carry a disproportionate performance cost. Across all resolutions, the Low-to-Medium transition costs roughly 30-35% performance, while the Medium-to-High transition costs about 7-15%, and the High-to-Ultra transition costs 15-17%, indicating diminishing returns at the highest preset.
