Overpower

Overpower is an action title released on August 14, 2023, and the benchmark dataset covers a system pairing the Intel Core i7-14700K (launch MSRP $409) with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (launch MSRP $1,199). Both components were tested across three resolutions and four graphics quality presets, producing twelve measured FPS averages plus three minimum/maximum frame readings. The results paint a clear picture of how this combination scales with resolution and quality, and where its strengths and limitations lie.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average FPS measured for this configuration?

A: The highest average FPS observed is 271, which occurs at 1920x1080 with the Low preset. At the same resolution, Medium averages 169, High 157, and Ultra 130 FPS.

Q: What is the only preset for which the data includes minimum and maximum FPS values?

A: Only the Medium preset rows include min/max values. At 3840x2160 Medium, the average is 128 FPS with a range of 109–147. At 2560x1440 Medium, the average is 151 FPS (128–173). At 1920x1080 Medium, the average is 169 FPS (144–194).

Q: How does the average FPS change when the resolution drops from 4K to 1080p on the same preset?

A: For the High preset, the average FPS rises from 119 at 3840x2160 to 140 at 2560x1440 and 157 at 1920x1080. For the Low preset, it goes from 205 at 4K to 241 at 1440p and 271 at 1080p. The largest absolute increase is 66 FPS (205 to 271) on Low.

Q: At 4K, which preset stays above the 120 average FPS level?

A: The Low preset averages 205 FPS and the Medium preset averages 128. The High preset drops to 119, while Ultra falls to 99. So only Low and Medium keep the average session above 120 FPS at that resolution.

A: The combo ranks 201st out of 3713 configurations in the game. This places it in the top tier of systems that have been benchmarked for Overforce.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, with a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz. Memory runs at 1400 MHz, which translates to 22.4 Gbps effective per pin, and the interface is a 256-bit bus giving a bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. VRAM is 16 GB of GDDR6X, and the card carries a TDP of 320 W. The data includes seven 3DMark results, with the highest being a Vulkan score of 263,779, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 214,739, and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 run of 6,567.

Within the measured game frame rates, the GPU sees its load increase as resolution scales. At 1920x1080, the GPU likely has more idle headroom because the CPU can feed it more frames; the corresponding average FPS falls 62% higher on Low settings compared to 2160p Low (271 vs 205). At the High preset, the drop from 1080p to 4K is 38 FPS (157–119), which demonstrates the GPU importance are at higher pixels. The 16 GB VRAM is not fully stressed by these standards, as the game's Ultra preset at 4K still achieves 99 FPS, indicating that the memory capacity does not present a hard bottleneck for these tests.

The GPU's rival ranking positions it just 0.1% above the RTX 4080 SUPER in aggregate benchmark score, but 1.1% lower than a Radeon Pro W5700X, 2.6% lower than a Radeon RX 6750 GRE, and 2.7% lower than a Radeon 8060S. None of these are direct competitors in the same price class; the W5700X is a workstation card and the RX 6750 GRE is a lower-tier product, yet the 4080's measured performance in this game still leads at 4K preset, with a 99 FPS average at Ultra.

The memory clock relationship is clear from reading the data: As the memory speed is fixed at 61.6 effective Gbps, and the bandwidth remains the same for all settings, the difference between presets at the same resolution is entirely from shader and texture work. For example, at 2560x1440, the Ultra setting yields an average 116 FPS while High yields 116, Medium 151, and Low 241. Those differences reflect the computational cost of each quality tier, and the GPU has the headroom to push a 16GB buffer even at the most demanding resolution that was measured.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data provides a clear view of how Overpower scales as render load change. At 1080p and Low settings, the CPU can deliver 271 FPS. At 1440p Low, that number falls to 241, and at 4K Low it becomes 205. That is a total reduction of 66 FPS when the pixel count quadruples. The percentage fall acceleration is not uniform, however; for Medium, the averages go from 169 (1080p) to 151 (1440p) to 128 (4K), a drop of 71 FPS total. High does 157 → 140 → 1119, an average reduction of 38 FPS over the same span. Ultra is 130 → 116 → 99, a 31 FPS decrease. So the scaling is steeper on lower presets, which is typical when the CPU is able to produce many frames and the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher quality.

At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 141 FPS (271 to 130). At 1440p, that gap narrows to 125 FPS (241 to 116). At 4K, the gap is 106 FPS (205 to 99). This suggests that at 4K the GPU has even less raw processing room, pushing the CPU to a share in the frame time. The minimum FPS that is recorded only on Medium helps identify frame delivery: at 4K Medium, the minimum is 109 FPS, which is still above the 60 target for many displays. At 1440p Medium, the minimum is 128 FPS, and at 1080p it's 144.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data allows us to evaluate each preset in terms of absolute FPS and whether it maintains consistency. If a user prioritizes frame rate above all, the Low preset at each resolution delivers the highest average numbers. However, Low sacrifices most of the visual quality which is not quantified in the data, so it is not a universal recommendation.

For a single preset that works well at all three rated resolutions, Medium stands out. It is the only preset with recorded minimum/maximum ranges, and it consistently exceeds 60 FPS at every setting: 169 FPS at 1080p, 151 FPS at 1440p, and 128 FPS at 4K. The gap between Medium and High at the same resolution is relative small at 1080p (High:157 vs Medium:169) and at 1440p (140 vs 151), but larger at 4K (119 vs 128). Ultra is the heaviest, and still holds 99 FPS at 4K, which is playable for many. High setting is a middle ground: single on average better than Ultra by 20% at 4K (169 vs 99) and 10% at 1080p (157 vs 130). Based purely on measured FPS, Medium is the sweet spot because it offers the strongest combination of average FPS and consistency range, especially at 4K where the min 109 FPS is still high.

From the table, the minimum average FPS anywhere is 97 at 4K Ultra, while the maximum average Mid is 271 at 1080p Low. The minimum recorded frame across all data is 109 on 4KpK Medium, which is the same row as the 4K min 109. The best Min are that no fight ends below 109 at Medium on every resolution, no lower than 144 at 1080p, 128 at 1440p, and 109 at 4K.

CPU Role

The Core i7-14700K is a 20-core / 28-thread desktop CPU based on Raptor Lake-R, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It sits on LGA1700 and contains 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2, and 33 MB shared L3. The TDP is rated at 125W, and its memory support is dual-channel DDR4/DDR5. The CPU's integrated graphics is UHD 770, but it is not used in this game benchmark.

In a game workload, the CPU's performance dictates how high the frame rate can go when the GPU is not the limiting factor. The measured 1080p Low result of 271 FPS indicates the CPU is able to maintain such a high rate when the GPU workload is light. At all presets, the resolution-induced drop is consistent: for Low, 271 → 241 → 205; for High, 157 → 140 → 119; for Medium, 169 → 151 → 128; for Ultra, 130 → 116 → 99. These patterns show that the CPU contributes to the entire scaling curve, holds a solid floor at even 4K.

The CPU's standalone benchmark results underline that strength. Its multi-core CineBench R15 score is 5035, R20-score 18544, and R23 score 33440.5. Single-core scores are 313.5 (R15), 2615 (R20), and 2160 (R23). The core motion also means that in games that support many threads, the 20/28 configuration provides plentiful resource. The Passmark multi-thread score is 52395, and the single-thread score is 4472. Its aggregate benchmark score of 69355 placesslightly higher than the EPYC 9115 and only slightly lower than the mainstream Ryzen 7940HX. Overpower does not stress the higher thread counts, but the 1080p Low frame rate shows that a single-core performance is enough to keep up with the RTX 4080's full output at that resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

In the Overpower benchmark ranking, this configuration is placed at position 201 out of 3713 tested combos. That is well within the top tier of game build. By comparison, the CPU's own average benchmark score (69355) sits slightly above its nearest rival, the EPYC 9115, and within .2% of the Ryzen 7950X (69515). The GPU's benchmark average (54247) is slightly above that of the RTX 4080 SUPER (54209) but lower than the Radeon Pro W5700X (54828), RX 6750 GRE (55698 / 8000). However, the GPU performance in-game, particularly at 4K, is high: it preserves a 99 FPS average on Ultra at 4K, which is inside a relevant range for high-refresh monitors.

The combination of a 20/28 CPU and a 16 GB GDDR6X GPU with 256-bit bus ensures it can hit high refresh rates at 1080p and silky-smooth gameplay at 4K with Medium settings. It also outranks more than 3,500 tested setups in this game, as evidenced by its 201/3713 ranking. The data confirms that the pair is appropriately matched: at 1080p Low, the CPU becomes the producer, while at 4K Ultra the GPU takes the lead, but neither component becomes a hard ceiling. The measured minimums, all sitting above 100 FPS at 4K Medium, further validate the claim that this combo is well suited for high-quality action gameplay at high refresh rates.
