Overpower

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Overpower reveals a clear pattern: this combination of Intel Core i5-14400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU retains significant headroom at 1080p. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at Ultra settings, the average frame rate drops from 116.5 FPS to 105.3 FPS, a relatively modest 9.6% reduction. However, the jump from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 at Ultra is more punishing, falling to 91.4 FPS — another 13.2% decrease. This scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are being taxed progressively as pixel count rises.

At Low settings, the resolution scaling is far more dramatic. The 1920x1080 Low result of 247.7 FPS drops to 222.9 FPS at 2560x1440, then plummets to 186.8 FPS at 3840x2160. The fact that even at 4K Low the system still exceeds 180 FPS suggests that the RTX 4070 Ti is never the limiting factor at lower graphical presets — the bottleneck shifts to the CPU's 10 cores and 16 threads. Conversely, at Ultra settings, the gap between 1080p and 4K is only 25.1 FPS, showing that the GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is being saturated by the highest preset.

The data also shows an interesting anomaly at Medium settings: 3840x2160 Medium (119.2 FPS) actually outperforms 2560x1440 High (129.4 FPS) by a smaller margin than expected, suggesting that Overpower's Medium preset at 4K is less demanding than High at 1440p. This indicates that the game's settings hierarchy has a nonlinear impact on GPU load. For users targeting 4K, the difference between Low and Medium is 67.6 FPS — a massive jump that reveals how much headroom exists in the RTX 4070 Ti's 285 W TDP envelope when graphical features are reduced.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F brings a Raptor Lake architecture with 10 cores (6 performance, 4 efficient) and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosting to 4.70 GHz. In Overpower's measured results, the CPU's role becomes most evident at 1080p Low, where the system reaches 247.7 FPS — a figure that approaches the practical ceiling for many game engines. The 20 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB L2 per core provide sufficient bandwidth for the game's action-oriented workload, as evidenced by the strong scaling from 1440p to 1080p at Low settings.

Benchmark data places this CPU in the 88th percentile among all processors, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21914 and single-core score of 3093. These synthetic results translate to Overpower's real-world behavior: at 1080p Low, the frame rate is 247.7 FPS, which is 60.9 FPS higher than the 4K Low result of 186.8 FPS. This delta suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU's 10-core configuration is capable of feeding the GPU faster than the GPU can render at 4K. The PassMark single-thread score of 3723 and multi-thread score of 25783 indicate balanced performance across both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded workloads.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Core i7-12800H (deltaPct 0%) and AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 (deltaPct 0.2%), showing that the i5-14400F sits in a competitive performance tier. However, in Overpower specifically, the CPU is rarely the bottleneck — even at 1080p Ultra (116.5 FPS), the frame rate is still well above playable thresholds. The 65 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility make this a mainstream part, but its 16 threads are sufficient to avoid stuttering in action sequences. Notably, the CPU's boost clock of 4.70 GHz appears to be well-utilized in Overpower's single-threaded rendering paths, as the 1080p Low result of 247.7 FPS is only 8.3% lower than the 1440p Low result of 222.9 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, and the measured FPS data makes its influence unmistakable. With 7680 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 80 ROPs running at a boost clock of 2610 MHz, this GPU delivers 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is directly reflected in the 4K Ultra result of 91.4 FPS. This is the lowest measured frame rate in the dataset, indicating that the GPU's memory subsystem and compute resources are fully saturated at 4K with maximum settings.

The GPU's 85th percentile ranking among all graphics cards is corroborated by its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5024 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 186784. In Overpower, the RTX 4070 Ti's ray tracing capabilities (60 RT cores) and tensor cores (240) may be engaged at Ultra settings, explaining why the Ultra preset at any resolution is significantly slower than Medium. For instance, at 2560x1440, Ultra (105.3 FPS) trails Medium (135.9 FPS) by 30.6 FPS — a 22.5% penalty for the higher visual fidelity. At 3840x2160, this gap widens to 27.8 FPS between Ultra (91.4 FPS) and Medium (119.2 FPS).

The GPU's 285 W TDP and dual-slot design are consistent with its performance class, and the 1x 16-pin power connector suggests it draws substantial power under load. The 35,800 million transistors on TSMC's 5 nm process enable the high clock speeds and efficiency observed in the data. Notably, the RTX 4070 Ti's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile (deltaPct -0.6%) and AMD Radeon Pro 580 (deltaPct 1.6%), indicating that this desktop GPU outperforms some mobile and workstation parts despite being end-of-life. In Overpower, the GPU's 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is likely the key constraint at 4K, as the 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game's textures at Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a complete picture across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the results are: Low 247.7 FPS, Medium 156.2 FPS, High 142.3 FPS, and Ultra 116.5 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium is substantial at 91.5 FPS, but the step from Medium to High is only 13.9 FPS, suggesting that Medium is a sweet spot for visual quality versus raw performance at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the measured values are: Low 222.9 FPS, Medium 135.9 FPS, High 129.4 FPS, and Ultra 105.3 FPS. The pattern is similar to 1080p, with Low being dramatically faster than Medium (87 FPS difference), while High and Ultra are closer together (24.1 FPS difference). This indicates that the High preset adds significant visual features that tax the GPU without providing proportional frame rate benefits over Medium.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low 186.8 FPS, Medium 119.2 FPS, High 109.1 FPS, and Ultra 91.4 FPS. The 4K Low result is noteworthy because it still exceeds 180 FPS, demonstrating that the RTX 4070 Ti has ample compute headroom when the game's more demanding effects are disabled. The progression from Medium to High to Ultra at 4K shows a steady decline of 10.1 FPS and then 17.7 FPS, respectively, reflecting the GPU's memory bandwidth limits at higher resolutions.

Across all resolutions, the scaling from 1080p to 1440p is consistent: Low drops by 24.8 FPS, Medium by 20.3 FPS, High by 12.9 FPS, and Ultra by 11.2 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is more aggressive: Low drops by 36.1 FPS, Medium by 16.7 FPS, High by 20.3 FPS, and Ultra by 13.9 FPS. The disproportionate drop in Low settings when moving to 4K indicates that even at minimal graphical load, the GPU's pixel fill rate (208.8 GPixel/s) becomes a limiting factor.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data strongly suggests that Medium settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance for most users. At 2560x1440 Medium, the combo achieves 135.9 FPS, which is only 6.5 FPS lower than High (129.4 FPS) but 30.6 FPS higher than Ultra (105.3 FPS). The percentage increase from Medium to Low at 1440p is 64% (87 FPS), which is excessive for most gaming scenarios where visual fidelity matters.

For 4K users, High settings at 109.1 FPS is the recommended starting point, as it offers a 17.7 FPS advantage over Ultra (91.4 FPS) while maintaining significantly better visuals than Medium (119.2 FPS). The difference between High and Medium at 4K is only 10.1 FPS, making High the better choice for those who want near-maximum quality without sacrificing the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra at 4K (91.4 FPS) remains viable for competitive play, but the 19.4% reduction from High is a steep price for marginal visual gains.

At 1080p, the data indicates that Medium (156.2 FPS) is superior to High (142.3 FPS) for high-refresh-rate monitors, as the 13.9 FPS difference is unlikely to be noticeable while the Medium preset may reduce input latency. Low settings at 1080p (247.7 FPS) are only recommended for esports scenarios where maximum frame rates are paramount, as the visual degradation is substantial. The Ultra preset at any resolution is best reserved for screenshot-taking or non-competitive play, given the significant FPS penalties observed.
