Overpower

The Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination produces a measured performance profile in Overpower, an action game released on 2023-08-14. The dataset includes average FPS at four resolutions and four quality presets, plus a composite rank among 1,744 tested combinations. This analysis interprets those numbers to identify the roles of the CPU and GPU, and to suggest settings that balance frame rate and visual quality.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, average FPS falls from 130.8 at 1080p to 114.6 at 1440p and 99.9 at 4K, a 23.6% reduction from 1080p to 4K. Medium settings follow a similar pattern: 80.4 to 70.1 to 60.3, a 25.0% drop. High settings go from 76.1 to 69.5 to 56.6, a 25.6% reduction. Ultra settings drop from 61.4 to 57.4 to 45.3, a 26.2% decrease. The uniformity of these percentages—all within a narrow band around 25%—indicates that the GPU's rendering capacity is the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The CPU, with its high single-thread performance, is able to maintain high frame rates at 1080p Low (130.8 FPS), but as pixel count rises, the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The fact that the FPS drop is not proportional to the 4x pixel increase suggests that the game's rendering load scales sub-linearly, or that memory bandwidth and fill rate play a role. Regardless, the data clearly shows that resolution scaling is GPU-bound for this combo.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 44557 and single-core score is 6290, placing it in the 96th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the Intel Core i7-14700K (delta 0%), AMD EPYC 9115 (0.3% higher), AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (0.4% lower), and Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 (1.3% lower). These deltas are all within 1.3%, meaning the CPU is effectively tied with the top performers in its class. In Overpower, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with frames. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 130.8 FPS, which is well above 120, indicating that the CPU is not a limiting factor at that setting. The high boost clock of 5.60 GHz likely contributes to strong per-core performance, which is critical for game logic and draw call processing. The 20 cores and 28 threads may not be fully utilized in an action game, but the CPU's headroom is evident: even at 4K Ultra, where FPS drops to 45.3, the bottleneck is clearly the GPU, not the CPU. The data suggests that the i7-14700KF is more than sufficient for Overpower, and its performance is not a differentiator in this combo's overall ranking.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a mid-range GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1470 MHz and boost clock is 1650 MHz. It has 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 2011 in 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12), 16462 in Passmark G3D, and 87670 in Geekbench OpenCL. Its percentile among all GPUs is 63, and its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (0.3% higher), RTX 2070 (0.5% higher), Quadro K5200 (0.8% higher), and Tesla K40m (1.3% higher). These deltas are small, but the RTX 2060 SUPER sits slightly below the RTX 2070. In Overpower, the GPU is the primary determinant of FPS at higher settings. At 1080p Ultra, the combo delivers 61.4 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 45.3 FPS. The 8 GB VRAM may be sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K with Ultra settings, memory capacity could become a factor, though the data does not isolate VRAM usage. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 448 GB/s is moderate for its class, and its boost clock of 1650 MHz is typical. The GPU's support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) aligns with the game's likely API usage. Overall, the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting component in this combo, as evidenced by the resolution scaling and the combo's rank.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the highest preset that maintains an average FPS above 60 at each resolution is as follows: at 1920x1080, Ultra yields 61.4 FPS, so Ultra is viable. At 2560x1440, High yields 69.5 FPS, while Medium yields 70.1; the difference is negligible, so High offers better visual quality without a meaningful FPS penalty. At 3840x2160, Medium yields 60.3 FPS, while High drops to 56.6, so Medium is the highest preset that stays above 60. Low settings provide much higher frame rates—130.8 at 1080p, 114.6 at 1440p, and 99.9 at 4K—but likely at a significant visual cost. The data does not include visual quality metrics, so the recommendation is based solely on FPS thresholds. For players prioritizing smoothness, Low at 4K (99.9 FPS) or Medium at 1440p (70.1 FPS) are strong options. For a balance of quality and performance, the aforementioned presets (Ultra at 1080p, High at 1440p, Medium at 4K) are the highest that meet the 60 FPS target.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1248th out of 1744 tested combinations in Overpower, placing it in the lower half of the database. This rank is consistent with the GPU's mid-range standing: the CPU is in the 96th percentile, while the GPU is in the 63rd percentile. The CPU's nearest rivals are all within 1.3% of its average benchmark score, so the CPU does not differentiate this combo. The GPU's nearest rivals are also close, but the RTX 2060 SUPER is slightly below the RTX 2070. The combination of a top-tier CPU with a mid-range GPU means that many other combos with stronger GPUs will outperform it. The rank of 1248 indicates that 496 combos perform better, likely those with higher-end GPUs. The data suggests that the i7-14700KF is not the limiting factor; rather, the RTX 2060 SUPER holds back the overall performance in Overpower.
