Overpower

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Overpower shows a clear and consistent pattern as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the combo delivers 65.6 average FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Ultra drops that to 60.9 average FPS, a reduction of 4.7 frames. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average falls further to 54.3 FPS. This scaling behavior — a 17% reduction from 1080p to 4K at the highest settings — indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, though the drop is not severe enough to suggest a complete bottleneck.

At Low settings, the resolution scaling is more dramatic. The combo achieves 146.2 FPS at 1080p, 130 FPS at 1440p, and 110.6 FPS at 4K. This 35.6 FPS difference between 1080p and 4K at Low settings reveals that the GPU's raw throughput is being taxed heavily when pixel count rises, but the CPU still has headroom to push higher frame rates at lower resolutions. The data suggests that at Low settings, the i5-14600K can feed the GPU adequately at 1080p, but at 4K the GPU's 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 9.062 TFLOPS FP32 performance become the ceiling.

The Medium settings curve tells a similar story. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces 87.6 FPS; at 1440p Medium, 78 FPS; at 4K Medium, 70.4 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K here is a 17.2 FPS drop, which is proportionally smaller than the Low settings drop. This implies that as graphical load increases, the GPU's workload grows more uniformly across resolutions, and the frame rate difference narrows because the GPU is already near its saturation point even at 1080p with Medium settings.

High settings show the least resolution sensitivity in absolute terms. The combo delivers 85.7 FPS at 1080p, 76.2 FPS at 1440p, and 63.4 FPS at 4K — a total drop of 22.3 FPS across the three steps. This relatively modest scaling, combined with the fact that Ultra settings at 4K still exceed 54 FPS, suggests that Overpower is not an exceptionally demanding title for this hardware pairing. The limiting component shifts from CPU-bound at 1080p Low (146.2 FPS) to GPU-bound at 4K Ultra (54.3 FPS), with the crossover occurring somewhere between Medium and High settings.

FAQ

A: At 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, the combo produces 54.3 average FPS. This is above the 60 FPS threshold only at High settings (63.4 FPS) and Medium settings (70.4 FPS), meaning Ultra at 4K requires a frame rate compromise.

Q: Is the Intel Core i5-14600K a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 146.2 FPS, and at 1080p Medium it hits 87.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium (58.6 FPS) suggests the GPU becomes the limiting factor quickly, while the CPU's 14 cores and 5.30 GHz boost clock provide ample headroom for the game's logic.

Q: What is the combo's rank among all tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 1046 out of 1744 tested combinations in Overpower. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, which aligns with the RTX 2070 SUPER's 65th percentile among all GPUs.

Q: How much FPS is gained by lowering settings from Ultra to Low at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the difference between Ultra (60.9 FPS) and Low (130 FPS) is 69.1 FPS. This is the largest settings-based gap at any resolution, indicating that Overpower's Ultra preset imposes a substantial GPU workload.

Q: Does the combo maintain playable frame rates at 4K across all settings?

A: Yes. The lowest 4K average is 54.3 FPS at Ultra, while Low reaches 110.6 FPS, Medium 70.4 FPS, and High 63.4 FPS. All settings remain above 50 FPS, so 4K is viable with adjusted quality.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the dominant component in determining Overpower's frame rates at higher resolutions and settings. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which directly impacts texture streaming and memory-intensive scenes. The GPU's 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs operate at a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost clock of 1770 MHz, yielding 9.062 TFLOPS FP32 performance. These specifications place the card at the 65th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 22206.

The benchmark results show that the GPU's performance ceiling is reached first at Ultra settings. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 65.6 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 54.3 FPS — only an 11.3 FPS difference. This narrow gap suggests that Ultra settings saturate the GPU's compute and memory subsystems even at 1080p, and additional resolution has diminishing returns. In contrast, at Low settings, the 1080p to 4K drop is 35.6 FPS, indicating the GPU has more headroom when the workload is lighter but still becomes the bottleneck as pixel count rises.

The RTX 2070 SUPER's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA RTX A400 (average score 22307, delta -0.5%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z (average score 22006, delta 0.9%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile (average score 22729, delta -2.3%). These close deltas — all within 2.5% — mean the 2070 SUPER's performance in Overpower is representative of a mid-range GPU tier that can handle 1440p comfortably but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with maximum quality.

How This Combo Ranks

In Overpower, this particular combination of the Intel Core i5-14600K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 1046 out of 1744 tested combos. This places it in the 40th percentile of all configurations — meaning roughly 60% of tested combos perform better. The rank is primarily dragged down by the GPU's age and tier; the CPU is powerful enough to support much faster graphics cards. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 146.2 FPS, which is higher than many CPU-limited combos but still below the top performers that likely feature stronger GPUs.

The combo's position in the database reflects a mismatch between the i5-14600K's capabilities and the RTX 2070 SUPER's output. The CPU ranks at the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49166, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile with a score of 22206. This 28-percentile gap indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenarios. In Overpower, the frame rates align with this analysis: the GPU constrains performance at 4K and Ultra settings, while the CPU's headroom is only visible at 1080p Low where the game becomes less GPU-bound.

Compared to other combos in the database, this pairing is not a top-tier performer but is far from the bottom. The 1744-combo pool includes both older and newer hardware, and the 1046 rank suggests that the RTX 2070 SUPER, despite being end-of-life, still delivers competent frame rates in this title. The closest GPU rival in terms of average benchmark score is the RTX A400, which is only 0.5% slower on aggregate, yet the 2070 SUPER's specific Overpower results are what define its rank — not the synthetic average.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600K provides the computational foundation for this combo, and its influence on Overpower's frame rates is most evident at lower resolutions and settings. With 14 cores and 20 threads, the CPU can handle the game's background tasks, physics, and AI without becoming a bottleneck. Its base clock of 3.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz ensure single-threaded performance is strong, which is critical for game logic. The CPU's benchmark results include a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 32881 and a single-core score of 4642, along with a Geekbench single-core score of 2803.

At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 146.2 FPS, which is the highest frame rate in the measured data. This suggests the CPU can drive frame rates well above 144 FPS when the GPU is not the limiting factor. However, the drop to 87.6 FPS at 1080p Medium reveals that the GPU begins to throttle performance once more graphical work is introduced. The CPU's 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide sufficient memory hierarchy for the game's data access patterns, but the game does not appear to require extreme CPU throughput given the frame rate patterns.

The i5-14600K's nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark scores include the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X (delta 0.2%), the Intel Core i5-14600KF (delta -0.4%), and the AMD EPYC 4345P (delta -0.9%). These deltas are all under 1%, meaning the CPU's performance is comparable to several other high-end processors. In Overpower, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU; the data shows that even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains 54.3 FPS, which is more dependent on the GPU's 448.0 GB/s bandwidth and 9.062 TFLOPS than on the CPU's raw compute power.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings levels, yielding 12 distinct configurations. At 1920x1080, the combo produces 85.7 FPS at High, 146.2 FPS at Low, 87.6 FPS at Medium, and 65.6 FPS at Ultra. The Low setting is the standout, offering nearly double the frame rate of Ultra. The gap between Medium (87.6) and High (85.7) is minimal — only 1.9 FPS — indicating that these two presets impose similar GPU loads at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are 76.2 FPS at High, 130 FPS at Low, 78 FPS at Medium, and 60.9 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset actually delivers slightly higher FPS than High (78 vs 76.2), which is a 1.8 FPS difference. The Low setting at 1440p (130 FPS) remains well above the 60 FPS threshold, making it a viable option for high refresh rate monitors. The Ultra preset drops to 60.9 FPS, just above the 60 FPS mark.

At 3840x2160, the results are 63.4 FPS at High, 110.6 FPS at Low, 70.4 FPS at Medium, and 54.3 FPS at Ultra. Only the Low and Medium settings exceed 60 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset falls below 60 FPS, while High sits marginally above at 63.4 FPS. Across all resolutions, the Low setting provides the most consistent performance, with a maximum of 146.2 FPS at 1080p and a minimum of 110.6 FPS at 4K — a spread of 35.6 FPS. The Ultra setting, by contrast, ranges from 65.6 FPS at 1080p down to 54.3 FPS at 4K, a spread of 11.3 FPS. These patterns confirm that the GPU is the dominant factor in this game, with the CPU providing adequate support across all tested configurations.
