Overpower

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 148th out of 1,744 tested combos in Overpower, placing it in the top 8.5% of all configurations. That is a strong result for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU, and the data suggests the combo is well-balanced for this title, though not at the absolute top tier where the most extreme processors live. The combo’s position reflects a system that can push high frame rates at every resolution tested, with the GPU shouldering most of the load as resolution climbs.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 148 out of 1,744 is notable because it puts this pairing ahead of the vast majority of systems tested, but it also reveals that the CPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios. The Core i5-13400F sits at the 82nd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25,236. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-13620H (0.1% ahead), the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (0.5% behind), and the AMD EPYC 9474F (0.5% ahead), meaning the processor is essentially neck-and-neck with a range of other chips in raw compute. The RTX 5070 Ti, meanwhile, holds the 87th percentile among GPUs with an average score of 52,086, trailing the RTX 4080 by a razor-thin 0% delta and beating the AMD Radeon RX 7700S by 0.8%.

The practical takeaway is that this rank is driven by the GPU’s strength. The CPU’s multi-threaded scores are solid—Cinebench R23 multi-core hits 21,279, and 3DMark max threads reaches 7,307—but they are not class-leading. In Overpower, an action game that scales well with graphics hardware, the combination lands in the top decile because the RTX 5070 Ti can push frame rates high enough that the CPU rarely becomes a bottleneck, especially at 1440p and 4K. Relative to the 1744 combos, this system is a high performer, though systems with flagship CPUs and the same GPU would likely rank higher due to better frame pacing at 1080p.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 Ti is the star of this pairing, and its specifications explain why Overpower runs so smoothly. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory capacity is ample for Overpower’s high-resolution textures and effects, and the bandwidth ensures the GPU can feed its 8,960 shading units without stalling. The chip, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). Those clocks translate to a pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s, which are strong figures for rasterizing a fast-paced action game.

The GPU’s benchmark results confirm its capability: it scores 6,604 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 231,226 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 227,554 in Geekbench Vulkan. Its PassMark G3D score is 32,974, with a compute score of 20,203. These numbers place it firmly in the upper tier, and the data shows it outperforms the RTX 4080 by 0% on average, meaning it is effectively a peer. For Overpower specifically, the GPU’s role is to maintain high frame rates at demanding settings; the measured FPS data shows that even at 4K Ultra, the system averages 94.8 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The 16 GB VRAM is particularly relevant—Overpower’s Ultra settings at 4K will consume significant memory, and the available headroom prevents stutter from texture swapping.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear trend: Overpower’s performance scales predictably as resolution increases, and the GPU becomes the primary limiter at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system averages 242 FPS; at 1440p Low, that drops to 231.8 FPS, and at 4K Low, it falls to 193.6 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is modest (about 4%), but the jump to 4K causes a more significant 20% reduction from 1440p. This pattern indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU can feed frames quickly enough, but the GPU’s workload grows disproportionately at 4K.

The same pattern holds across settings. At High settings, 1080p yields 148 FPS, 1440p yields 135.3 FPS, and 4K yields 112.3 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at High is a 24% drop, which is less severe than the Low setting’s 20% drop from 1440p to 4K—suggesting that at High settings, the GPU is already more stressed at 1080p, so the incremental load from resolution is relatively smaller. At Ultra settings, the system averages 124.1 FPS at 1080p, 113.3 FPS at 1440p, and 94.8 FPS at 4K, representing a 23.6% drop from 1080p to 4K. The data indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti remains capable at 4K Ultra, but the frame rate is approaching the point where high-refresh-rate monitors (240 Hz) would go unused. The limiting component shifts from CPU at 1080p Low (where the i5-13400F’s single-thread score of 960 in 3DMark might cap frame rates) to GPU at 4K Ultra, where the GPU’s raw throughput is the deciding factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four quality settings, providing a complete picture of performance in Overpower.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 242 FPS, Medium settings yield 162.6 FPS, High settings reach 148 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 124.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is substantial (32.8%), while the difference between Medium and High is smaller (8.9%), and High to Ultra is a 16.1% reduction. This indicates that the GPU handles the initial quality jump easily, but Ultra settings impose a heavier load.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but slightly lower. Low settings average 231.8 FPS, Medium settings average 142.5 FPS, High settings average 135.3 FPS, and Ultra settings average 113.3 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is modest at Low settings (4.2% drop), but at Medium settings the drop is 12.4%, at High settings it is 8.6%, and at Ultra settings it is 8.7%. The data shows that 1440p is a sweet spot for this combo, as even Ultra settings remain above 110 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limits become apparent. Low settings average 193.6 FPS, Medium settings average 125.9 FPS, High settings average 112.3 FPS, and Ultra settings average 94.8 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is significant across all settings: 16.5% at Low, 11.6% at Medium, 17% at High, and 16.3% at Ultra. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate dips below 100 FPS, but it remains playable on high-refresh-rate displays. The data indicates that the RTX 5070 Ti is the primary driver of performance at this resolution, with the i5-13400F providing sufficient CPU throughput to avoid bottlenecking.
