Overpower

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Overpower reveals a clear pattern of how this combination of the Intel Core i5-14400F and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX responds to resolution changes. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the system produces 119.7 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Ultra, the frame rate drops slightly to 106.8 FPS, a reduction of roughly 11%. Pushing further to 3840x2160 at Ultra yields 86.6 FPS, which is another 19% decline from the 1440p figure. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings represents a total drop of about 28%.

The Low settings preset tells a different story about the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 245.2 FPS. At 1440p Low, it still holds 218.7 FPS, and at 4K Low it manages 187.9 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is roughly 23%, which is smaller than the Ultra preset drop. This pattern suggests that at lower settings, the CPU has more headroom to feed the GPU, while at higher settings the GPU becomes the primary constraint.

Medium settings show a similar scaling curve to High. At 1080p Medium, the system delivers 154.9 FPS. At 1440p Medium, it drops to 138.0 FPS, and at 4K Medium it falls to 116.5 FPS. The High preset follows with 143.9 FPS at 1080p, 129.9 FPS at 1440p, and 105.9 FPS at 4K. The consistent pattern across all presets indicates that resolution scaling is fairly linear, with the GPU increasingly becoming the bottleneck as pixel count rises.

The data shows that this combination is well-balanced for high-refresh gaming at 1440p, where even Ultra settings stay above the 100 FPS threshold. At 4K, the system still delivers playable frame rates across all presets, with the lowest figure being 86.6 FPS at Ultra. This indicates that the RX 7900 XTX has sufficient headroom to handle 4K, though the margin narrows at the highest quality settings.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall database of tested combinations for Overpower, this pairing of the Intel Core i5-14400F with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX achieves rank 201 out of 1744 total combos. This places it in the top 11.5% of all tested configurations for this game. The percentile positioning is strong, but not exceptional, given the high-end nature of both components.

The GPU itself sits at the 85th percentile among all tested GPUs, while the CPU holds the 88th percentile among all tested CPUs. These percentile figures suggest that neither component is dramatically outranking the other, which contributes to the balanced performance profile seen in the resolution scaling data. When both components are in similar percentile ranges, the system tends to perform predictably across different settings and resolutions.

The rank of 201 out of 1744 combos indicates that while this is a high-performing setup, there are 200 other combinations that achieve better results in Overpower. Given that the GPU is a top-tier RDNA 3.0 part with 24 GB of GDDR6 memory, the rank is likely constrained more by the CPU's mid-range positioning than by the GPU's capabilities. The CPU's 88th percentile ranking, while respectable, does not match the absolute top-end processors that would pair with this GPU in higher-ranked combos.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F brings 10 cores and 16 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. This is a Raptor Lake Refresh architecture part built on Intel's 10 nm process, featuring 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU's benchmark scores show a strong single-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3093 and a multi-core score of 21914.

In the context of Overpower, the CPU's role becomes evident when examining the Low settings frame rates. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 245.2 FPS, which is the highest measured frame rate across any resolution and settings combination. This high frame rate at low settings indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough draw calls to exceed 240 FPS, though the GPU still has headroom at this preset.

The CPU's 88th percentile ranking among all tested CPUs places it near the top, but its nearest rivals show how close the competition is. The Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32513 in average benchmark score, which is essentially identical to the i5-14400F's 32508, a delta of 0%. The AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 comes within 0.2% of the i5's score, while the AMD Ryzen 7 250 and Intel Core i7-13705H are both 0.2% behind. This clustering indicates that the i5-14400F sits squarely in a competitive mid-to-high tier of processors.

The 10-core, 16-thread configuration with a 4.70 GHz boost clock provides sufficient compute for Overpower's action gameplay. The measured FPS at 1080p Medium (154.9 FPS) and 1080p High (143.9 FPS) suggest that the CPU can maintain high frame rates even when the GPU is not fully saturated. The PassMark multithread score of 25783 and single-thread score of 3723 reinforce this balanced performance profile.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers a full range of frame rates depending on settings. Low settings produce 245.2 FPS, Medium drops to 154.9 FPS, High achieves 143.9 FPS, and Ultra settles at 119.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is substantial at about 37%, while the gap between Medium and High is a modest 7%. The step from High to Ultra is another 17% reduction, showing that Ultra settings impose a significant load.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates compress slightly. Low settings yield 218.7 FPS, Medium produces 138.0 FPS, High reaches 129.9 FPS, and Ultra delivers 106.8 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium at this resolution is about 37%, similar to the 1080p pattern. However, the gap between High and Ultra narrows to about 18%, suggesting that the GPU is becoming a more significant factor.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the frame rates show the GPU's limits. Low settings still manage 187.9 FPS, but Medium drops to 116.5 FPS, High falls to 105.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 86.6 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium at 4K is about 38%, which is consistent with the other resolutions. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that dips below 90 FPS, though it remains comfortably playable.

The data shows that across all three resolutions, the Low to Medium transition incurs the largest percentage drop in frame rate. This suggests that the Medium preset introduces significant GPU load that scales consistently regardless of resolution. The High to Ultra transition is less punishing, indicating that the Ultra preset's additional effects have diminishing returns relative to their performance cost.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is the dominant component in this pairing, featuring 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus with 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1929 MHz, a game clock of 2365 MHz, and a boost clock of 2498 MHz. Built on TSMC's 5 nm process with RDNA 3.0 architecture, it contains 6144 shading units, 384 TMUs, and 192 ROPs.

The GPU's 85th percentile ranking among all tested GPUs places it in the upper tier, but its benchmark scores reveal interesting comparisons. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6841 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 189573 demonstrate strong compute performance. The PassMark G3D score of 31238 is particularly notable, though the nearest rivals show that this GPU is not without competition.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti has an average score of 44900, which is 2% higher than the RX 7900 XTX's 44019 average. The AMD Radeon Pro 580 scores 44195, which is 0.4% lower than the RX 7900 XTX. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile comes in at 43667, just 0.8% behind. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 trails by 1.6% with a score of 43313. This tight grouping indicates that the RX 7900 XTX is competitive but not dominant in its class.

In Overpower specifically, the GPU's role is most evident at 4K resolution. The 24 GB VRAM capacity ensures that even at Ultra settings with high-resolution textures, there is no memory bottleneck. The 960.0 GB/s bandwidth provides the throughput needed to sustain frame rates above 86 FPS at 4K Ultra. At 1080p, the GPU is often not fully utilized, as evidenced by the 245.2 FPS at Low settings, which suggests the CPU is keeping pace.
