Overpower

The data for Overpower shows a clear hierarchy across the four tested presets, with the relationship between visual fidelity and frame rate following an expected pattern. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 246.6 FPS, while Medium drops to 163.7 FPS, High to 150.3 FPS, and Ultra to 122.3 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium represents a substantial 82.9 FPS reduction, indicating that Medium settings introduce significant rendering work. However, the gap between Medium and High is much smaller at 13.4 FPS, while High to Ultra costs another 28 FPS. This suggests that the Medium preset offers the most balanced trade-off between image quality and performance, as it retains a high frame rate while avoiding the steep cost of Low settings. At 1440p, the same hierarchy holds: Low produces 230.4 FPS, Medium 144.7 FPS, High 136.5 FPS, and Ultra 108.7 FPS. The Medium-to-High delta here is only 8.2 FPS, making High an attractive option at this resolution for those seeking better visuals without a major penalty. At 4K, Low hits 195 FPS, Medium 125 FPS, High 113.9 FPS, and Ultra 94.4 FPS. The Medium preset remains the most sensible starting point, as it stays well above 120 FPS across all resolutions, whereas High falls below that threshold at 4K. For users prioritizing maximum smoothness, Low is viable even at 4K with 195 FPS, but the visual compromise is likely too severe for a game of this genre. Ultra, while playable at 94.4 FPS at 4K, represents the steepest cost per frame and is only recommended for those with high-refresh-rate displays who insist on maximum detail.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain the measured frame rates. With 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, the card provides 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Overpower’s demands at any tested resolution. The GPU’s boost clock of 2452 MHz and base clock of 2295 MHz, combined with 8960 shading units, deliver 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. These figures place the card in the 87th percentile among all GPUs, with benchmark scores showing it essentially tied with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (deltaPct 0) and slightly ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 7700S (deltaPct -0.8). The RTX 5070 Ti’s memory bandwidth is particularly relevant when analyzing the 4K results, where higher resolutions demand more data throughput. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo still produces 94.4 FPS, indicating the GPU is not fully saturated even at the highest settings. The card’s 300 W TDP and PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensure it can sustain these performance levels without bottlenecking, though the 1x 16-pin power connector and 700 W suggested PSU indicate a substantial power draw. The GPU’s 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores also contribute to its overall capability, though Overpower’s measured results do not isolate ray tracing or DLSS effects. Overall, the RTX 5070 Ti provides sufficient headroom such that CPU limitations become apparent only at lower resolutions and settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck shifts between components. At Low settings, the combo delivers 246.6 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 230.4 FPS at 1440p (a 6.6% reduction) and then to 195 FPS at 4K (a 15.4% reduction from 1440p). This relatively mild scaling indicates that at Low settings, the CPU is the primary limiter even at 1080p, as the GPU has ample headroom. The Intel Core i5-14400F’s 10 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, cap the frame rate before the GPU becomes the constraint. Moving to Medium settings, the pattern shifts: 163.7 FPS at 1080p, 144.7 FPS at 1440p (an 11.6% drop), and 125 FPS at 4K (a 13.6% drop). The larger drop from 1080p to 1440p suggests the GPU is beginning to take on more work, but the CPU still influences the ceiling. At High settings, the scaling becomes more pronounced: 150.3 FPS at 1080p, 136.5 FPS at 1440p (a 9.2% drop), and 113.9 FPS at 4K (a 16.6% drop). The 4K figure shows the GPU now carries more of the load, but the frame rate remains high enough to indicate a balanced workload. At Ultra settings, the scaling is steepest: 122.3 FPS at 1080p, 108.7 FPS at 1440p (an 11.1% drop), and 94.4 FPS at 4K (a 13.2% drop). Here, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as the frame rate at 1080p Ultra is only slightly higher than at 4K Ultra, suggesting that the CPU can push more frames but the GPU’s rendering workload caps performance. The data shows that Overpower is relatively GPU-bound at higher settings, but the CPU still matters at Low and Medium presets where frame rates exceed 200 FPS.

This places it in the top 8.4% of all tested configurations, indicating strong overall performance for the game. The rank reflects the synergy between the components, where the CPU’s 88th percentile standing (with an average benchmark score of 32508) and the GPU’s 87th percentile standing (with an average score of 52086) combine to produce competitive frame rates. The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-12800H with a deltaPct of 0, meaning they perform identically in synthetic benchmarks, while the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 trails by 0.2% and the AMD Ryzen 7 250 leads by 0.2%. On the GPU side, the RTX 5070 Ti is essentially tied with the RTX 4080 (deltaPct 0), while the AMD Radeon RX 7700S is 0.8% ahead and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% behind. Despite these near-identical synthetic scores, the real-world Overpower results show that this combo delivers playable frame rates across all settings, with the lowest measured average being 94.4 FPS at 4K Ultra. The rank of 147 suggests that while many higher-end combinations exist (such as those with more powerful CPUs), this pairing offers a well-balanced experience that avoids severe bottlenecks in either direction.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F, based on the Raptor Lake architecture, contributes significantly to the measured results, particularly at lower settings and resolutions. With 10 cores and 16 threads, the processor provides a mix of performance and efficiency cores, running at a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boosting up to 4.70 GHz. The 20 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache help reduce memory latency, which is crucial for maintaining high frame rates in an action game like Overpower. The CPU’s benchmark results show strong single-threaded performance (3093 in Cinebench R23 single-core) and robust multi-threaded capabilities (21914 in Cinebench R23 multi-core), placing it in the 88th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-12800H, scores identically on average benchmark scores, while the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 is 0.2% behind. In Overpower, the CPU’s role becomes evident when examining the Low preset across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 246.6 FPS, which is 51.6 FPS higher than the 4K Low result of 195 FPS. This gap narrows as settings increase, indicating that the CPU is less of a constraint when the GPU is heavily loaded. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory allow it to pair well with the RTX 5070 Ti without creating a power or bandwidth bottleneck. The processor’s PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes ensures the GPU has full bandwidth access, which is particularly relevant for the 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on the graphics card. For users targeting high refresh rates at 1080p or 1440p, the CPU’s single-threaded performance is sufficient to avoid limiting the GPU, as evidenced by the 230.4 FPS result at 1440p Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 246.6 FPS, which represents the maximum throughput of this pairing at this resolution. Medium settings reduce the average to 163.7 FPS, a 33.6% reduction from Low, indicating the significant cost of enabling additional visual effects. High settings yield 150.3 FPS, only 13.4 FPS below Medium, suggesting that the step from Medium to High is relatively efficient. Ultra settings produce 122.3 FPS, which is 28 FPS below High and represents the most demanding preset at this resolution. All 1080p results remain above 120 FPS, making this resolution suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors even at Ultra settings.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down proportionally. Low settings achieve 230.4 FPS, which is 16.2 FPS lower than the 1080p Low result, showing that the GPU is still not the primary bottleneck at this preset. Medium produces 144.7 FPS, a 19 FPS drop from the 1080p Medium figure. High settings reach 136.5 FPS, only 8.2 FPS below Medium, continuing the trend of a small Medium-to-High gap. Ultra delivers 108.7 FPS, which is 13.6 FPS lower than the 1080p Ultra result and falls below the 120 FPS threshold. At this resolution, the combo remains highly playable across all settings, with even Ultra maintaining a frame rate above 100 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU takes on the majority of the rendering workload. Low settings produce 195 FPS, which is 35.4 FPS lower than the 1440p Low result, indicating that the GPU is now the limiting factor. Medium achieves 125 FPS, a 19.7 FPS drop from 1440p Medium. High settings yield 113.9 FPS, which is 22.6 FPS below the 1440p High result and just barely above the 4K Ultra figure of 94.4 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is 19.5 FPS, which is larger than the 15.6 FPS gap at 1440p, showing that Ultra settings impose a heavier penalty at higher resolutions. All 4K results remain above 90 FPS, meaning the combo can handle 4K gaming, though users targeting 120+ FPS will need to use Medium settings or lower. Overall, the measured data shows a consistent pattern: the CPU supports high frame rates at lower settings and resolutions, while the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher settings and 4K, with no single configuration falling below 90 FPS.
