Settings Recommendations

The measured data across all three resolutions consistently shows that Medium settings offer the most balanced experience. At 1920x1080, Medium produces 103.2 FPS, which is only 7.3 FPS lower than High (95.9 FPS) but 57.7 FPS below Low (160.9 FPS). The jump from Medium to Ultra at 1080p costs 22.5 FPS, dropping to 80.7 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the pattern holds: Medium delivers 92 FPS, which remains comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. High settings at 1440p yield 86.3 FPS, a loss of only 5.7 FPS from Medium, while Ultra drops to 72.2 FPS — still playable but with diminishing returns. Low at 1440p hits 146.2 FPS, but the visual sacrifice is likely too steep for most users.

At 3840x2160, Medium produces 76.2 FPS, which is the only preset besides Low that stays above 60 FPS. High dips to 69.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 57.7 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target. Given that Low at 4K reaches 120.7 FPS, the GPU has ample headroom, but the visual quality trade-off at Low is severe. For 4K users, Medium is the sweet spot, offering a 19 FPS advantage over High while maintaining visual fidelity.

Across all resolutions, Medium is the recommended preset for this combo. It consistently delivers between 76.2 and 103.2 FPS, staying above 60 FPS even at 4K. The data suggests that the performance curve flattens between Medium and High, making High a less efficient choice, while Ultra provides only marginal visual gains for a significant FPS penalty.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals how the workload shifts with pixel count. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 95.9 at 1080p to 86.3 at 1440p (a 10% reduction), then to 69.2 at 4K (a 20% reduction from 1440p). The total drop from 1080p to 4K at High is 26.7 FPS, or roughly 28%.

At Low settings, the scaling is more dramatic: 160.9 FPS at 1080p, 146.2 at 1440p, and 120.7 at 4K. That is a 25% reduction from 1080p to 4K, but the absolute numbers remain high, indicating the GPU is not the primary limiter at low settings — the CPU's single-thread performance (311 in Cinebench R15 single-core) likely caps the frame rate.

At Medium settings, the drop is from 103.2 FPS at 1080p to 92 at 1440p (11% down), then to 76.2 at 4K (17% down from 1440p). The total reduction from 1080p to 4K is 26.1%, nearly identical to the Low setting's 25% drop. This consistency suggests that the scaling is primarily resolution-driven rather than settings-driven.

Ultra settings show the steepest relative decline: 80.7 FPS at 1080p, 72.2 at 1440p, and 57.7 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 28.5%, slightly higher than other presets. This indicates that at Ultra, the GPU's 13.31 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth become the bottleneck, as the pixel fill rate (166.4 GPixel/s) struggles with 4K resolution under heavy shading loads.

The data implies that the limiting component shifts with settings. At Low and Medium, the CPU's 10 cores and 16 threads (boost clock 4.70 GHz) can feed the GPU sufficiently, so resolution scaling is moderate. At High and Ultra, the GPU's shading units (2560) and texture units (160) become saturated, leading to larger FPS penalties at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full spectrum of settings yields: Low at 160.9 FPS, Medium at 103.2 FPS, High at 95.9 FPS, and Ultra at 80.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 57.7 FPS, which is the largest single-step jump across all settings and resolutions. Between Medium and High, the difference narrows to 7.3 FPS, and between High and Ultra it expands slightly to 15.2 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the measured values are: Low at 146.2 FPS, Medium at 92 FPS, High at 86.3 FPS, and Ultra at 72.2 FPS. The Low-to-Medium gap is 54.2 FPS, while Medium-to-High is only 5.7 FPS. Ultra costs 14.1 FPS over High, a proportionally larger penalty than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low at 120.7 FPS, Medium at 76.2 FPS, High at 69.2 FPS, and Ultra at 57.7 FPS. The Low-to-Medium gap is 44.5 FPS, and Medium-to-High is 7 FPS. The High-to-Ultra drop is 11.5 FPS, which is the smallest absolute penalty across any resolution for that settings step, but it pushes Ultra below 60 FPS.

Comparing across resolutions, the 1080p Low result (160.9 FPS) is 33% higher than the 1440p Low (146.2 FPS), and the 1440p Low is 21% higher than the 4K Low (120.7 FPS). For Ultra, the 1080p result (80.7 FPS) is 12% higher than 1440p (72.2 FPS), and 1440p is 25% higher than 4K (57.7 FPS). This shows that the resolution penalty is not linear, with 4K exacting a disproportionately heavy toll on Ultra settings.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is built on the Navi 22 chip with RDNA 2.0 architecture, using a 7 nm process from TSMC. It packs 17,200 million transistors on a 335 mm² die, with a transistor density of 51.3 million per mm². The GPU's shading units number 2560, paired with 160 texture mapping units and 64 render output units, along with 40 ray tracing cores.

The clock profile shows a base clock of 2150 MHz, a game clock of 2495 MHz, and a boost clock of 2600 MHz. The memory runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective data rate. This configuration yields a pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 416.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute at 13.31 TFLOPS.

In Overpower, the GPU's role becomes evident in the 4K Ultra result of 57.7 FPS. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game's demands at all settings, as no VRAM-related stutter is indicated by the consistent FPS numbers. The 432.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for 1440p and below, where the performance is more CPU-bound at low settings.

The GPU's 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns with its measured performance in this game. At 1080p Medium, the GPU achieves 103.2 FPS, which is close to double the 4K Ultra result. This indicates that the GPU's compute resources scale well with resolution until the 4K Ultra setting, where the 64 ROPs become the limiting factor for pixel throughput.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F features 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. It uses the Raptor Lake architecture on a 10 nm process, with a 215 mm² die size. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 20 MB shared L3 cache.

The CPU's synthetic benchmarks show strong single-thread performance: 311 in Cinebench R15 single-core, 1299 in R20, and 3093 in R23. Multi-core scores are 2208 (R15), 9203 (R20), and 21914 (R23). The PassMark single-thread score is 3723, and the multithread score is 25783.

In Overpower, the CPU's influence is most visible at Low settings. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 160.9 FPS, but at 1440p Low it only drops to 146.2 FPS (9% reduction). This relatively small drop suggests the CPU is the limiting factor at these settings, as the GPU has enough headroom to maintain high frame rates. The 4K Low result of 120.7 FPS still shows a 17% drop from 1440p, indicating the GPU begins to take over the bottleneck at 4K.

The CPU's 88th percentile ranking among all processors is higher than the GPU's 79th percentile, yet the combo's game rank is only 834th of 1744. This suggests that Overpower may not scale perfectly with the CPU's 20 MB L3 cache or 16 threads. The 65 W TDP and locked multiplier (not unlocked) mean the CPU runs at stock clocks, but the boost clock of 4.70 GHz provides sufficient frequency for the game's single-threaded aspects.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 834th out of 1744 tested combinations in Overpower, placing it in the 48th percentile of all combos. This is a notable underperformance relative to the individual components' standings: the CPU is in the 88th percentile of all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 79th percentile of all GPUs.

The discrepancy suggests that Overpower's engine does not fully utilize the strengths of either component. The CPU's nearest rivals — the Intel Core i7-12800H, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645, AMD Ryzen 7 250, and Intel Core i7-13705H — all score within 0.2% of the i5-14400F in average benchmarks. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rivals — the Radeon RX 5600M, GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile, and Radeon 880M — are all within 1.3% of the RX 6750 XT's average score. Yet the combo's game rank falls well below the midpoint, indicating that the pairing's combined performance in this specific title is weaker than either component's synthetic benchmark standing.

The measured FPS data confirms this: at 1080p High, the combo achieves 95.9 FPS, which is solid but not exceptional for a GPU in the 79th percentile. The 4K Ultra result of 57.7 FPS, while playable, is below the 60 FPS target. These results imply that while the hardware is capable in isolation, Overpower's rendering pipeline may be bottlenecked by something other than raw compute — possibly the CPU's memory bandwidth or the GPU's 192-bit bus width.

The rank of 834 out of 1744 means there are 910 combos that perform worse and 833 that perform better. The median position suggests that many combinations with lower-tier components may outperform this pairing in this game, but the wide distribution (from 57.7 FPS at 4K Ultra to 160.9 FPS at 1080p Low) shows the combo's versatility across settings and resolutions.
