Overpower

Overpower, an action title released on August 14, 2023, was benchmarked with an Intel Core i5-13400F and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080. The CPU has a launch MSRP of $196; the GPU has a launch MSRP of $999. This combination ranks 197th among 3,713 tested combinations, placing it in the top 5% of all configurations on record. Measured frame rates range from 241 fps at 1080p Low down to 102 fps at 4K Ultra, with the data revealing distinct scaling patterns that point to where each component assumes control.

Resolution Scaling

The drop from 1080p to 4K is not uniform across presets. For High settings, average FPS goes from 163 at 1080p to 145 at 1440p, and finally to 123 at 4K — a total decrease of 40 FPS, or about 24.5%. Ultra follows a similar path: 135 at 1080p, 120 at 1440p, and 102 at 4K, representing a 24.4% loss. The Medium preset shows a 175→156→133 sequence, a 24.0% drop. In contrast, Low settings drop only 241→232→213, a modest 11.6% fall. This asymmetry is telling.

The large percentage drop for High, Medium, and Ultra indicates that at these quality levels, the workload becomes heavily GPU-limited as pixel count increases. The 4K frame rates for those presets are still above 100 FPS, but the card is clearly working harder. The relatively flat scaling of Low, however, implies that the CPU—not the GPU—is the binding constraint at 1080p Low. With a 241 FPS average at 1080p, the game engine likely reaches a CPU-mundane limit; the RTX 5080 has plenty of headroom to render more frames if the processor could supply them.

The consistency across Medium, High, and Ultra suggests that the GPU’s internal pipeline is the most dominant factor between those presets. When the resolution goes from 1080p to 1440p, the drop is roughly half of the total 1080p-to-4K loss, which is a typical linear scaling for GPU-bound tasks. The medium preset also includes min/max data: at 1080p Medium the range is 149–202 FPS, at 1440p Medium only 133–180, and at 4K Medium the extremes tighten to 133–153. This narrowing variability further emphasizes that at higher resolutions, the frame rate becomes more fixed by GPU compute rather than fluctuating with score.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread part built on Raptor Lake, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost of 4.60 GHz. It uses dual memory channels and has a 20 MB L3 cache. In benchmark suites, the CPU achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,604 and a single-core score of 3,191; Geekbench returns 11,068 and 1,996 for multi and single, respectively. Its overall benchmark average is 25,292, placing it at the 77th percentile among all CPUs. The nearest rival list shows the i5-13400F sits within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS and within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, while essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D.

In Overpower, the CPU’s role is most visible at the lowest resolution and lowest preset. At 1080p Low, the average frame rate hits 241 FPS, which is exactly the sort of ceiling that a high-frequency processor can generate. Because the GPU’s benchmark scores are far above most other cards, it is unlikely the GPU is limiting at such a low preset. The relatively small scaling drop for Low — from 241 at 1080p to 213 at 4K — indicates that even at 4K there is a consistent ~200 FPS, which is immediate to 240Hz. However, at Medium and above, the scaling drop jumps to ~24%, suggesting that the GPU is now the primary bottleneck.

The i5’s hybrid design — 10 performance, efficient cores combined to reach 16 threads — is well suited to the game’s multi-threading patterns. Its 3DMark 16-thread score of 7,314 and PassMark multi‑thread score of 25,032 demonstrate strong throughput across a range of tasks. Even at the highest settings, the CPU still allows 4K Ultra to hold 102 FPS, so it is not a severe drag on the 5080. The L3 cache of 20 MB and boost clock 4.6 GHz likely assist in preventing stutters in crowded actions, though we have no min FPS data for most presets.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average FPS measured for this combo?

A: The 1920x1080 Low preset yields an average of 241 FPS, the highest of all twelve tested configurations.

Q: At 4K Ultra, what is the average FPS and is it playable?

A: 4K Ultra averages 102 FPS, which is smooth even well above the typical 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the CPU’s multi‑segment performance relative to peer chips?

A: The i5-13400F runs Cinebench R23 multi‑core at 22,604 points, and its average score of 25,292 puts it within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25,201) and within 0.4% of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25,365). This indicates it is a very solid mid‑range processor.

Q: How does the GPU compare on overall benchmark score to its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 5080 scores 56,083 average; it trails the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE (57,367) by 2.2% but leads the AMD Radeon 8060S (55,757) by 0.6% and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698) by 0.7%.

Q: Is there a configuration that hits 133 FPS at 1440p?

A: Yes — 1440p Medium averages 156 FPS with a range of 133–180 FPS. The 133 is also the minimum frame observed at 1440p.

Q: What is the total number of tested combos and this combo’s rank?

A: The combination is ranked 197 out of 3,713, representing the top 5.3% of all tested combos.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data across all three resolutions favors the Medium preset as the optimal balance between performance and visual quality. At 1080p, Medium averages 175 FPS, which is 10.7% higher than High (163) and 30% higher than Ultra (135). At 1440p, Medium reaches 156 FPS, compared to 145 for High and 120 for Ultra. At 4K, the Medium preset still provides 133 FPS, while High delivers 123 and Ultra 102 — again, Medium is 8.1% faster than High and nearly 30% faster than Ultra.

The Low preset always gives the highest number (241 at 1080p, 232 at 1440p, 213 at 4k), but it sacrifices visual effects that may alter the action-game experience. The fact that Medium outperforms High may suggest a particular graphics option in the High scheme that weighs a lower frame rate, but we cannot analyze further from the data. For users who demand the absolute maximum visual fidelity, Ultra is still playable — it never drops below 102 FPS. However, for the best trade‑off of smoothness and visual quality, the data indicates to choose Medium, since it offers the highest average FPS among all non‑Low, non‑Ultra presets and consistently gives more than 130 FPS even at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The 197th rank among 0 3,713 combinations places this system in the top 5% of all tested. That implies that only 196 other combinations produce a higher aggregate frame rate across all the standard configurations. This does not necessarily make it the top‑tier system, but it is far above the median. The ranking is influenced by the GPU’s high end — the RTX 5080 is in the 87th percentile among GPUs. However, the CPU is a mid‑level chip with a 77th percentile rank; this hybrid result suggests the GPU carries overall performance. It also indicates that the pairing is well balanced: the CPU does not cripple the GPU, and the GPU’s strength is efficiently utilized in Overpower.

When seen in the context of all 3,713 combos, a rank of 197 demonstrates that the combination of a 13th‑gen Intel and a GeForce 50 series card is among the top 5% for this title. The closest competitors in benchmark scores on the CPU side are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS and Ryzen 5 5600X3D, which are nearly identical in CPU performance, yet the GPU difference (the 5080 vs a top desktop GPU) presumably explains why this ranking is so high within the combo list.

Settings (Duplicate) - I have to remove this because we already did. Wait, we need to include the sections only once. Actually in the prompt we have 7 sections: we have all. The above includes them. But the last one is GPU Role. So we need to write that.

Now we have measured FPS breakdown as section 6. Now section 7: GPU Role.
