Overpower

The Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a top-tier result in Overpower, ranking 99th out of 1,744 tested combos. The CPU, a 20-core / 28-thread Raptor Lake part with a 5.60 GHz boost clock and a launch MSRP of $384, sits at the 96th percentile among all CPUs. The GPU, an Ada Lovelace AD103 with 16 GB of GDDR6X and a launch MSRP of 999 USD, holds the 88th percentile among all GPUs. Together, they produce frame rates that remain at or above 97.9 FPS even at 4K Ultra settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent pattern as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Ultra settings, the average FPS falls from 128.8 at 1080p to 117.7 at 1440p and then to 97.9 at 4K. High settings follow a similar trajectory: 154.3 at 1080p, 136.9 at 1440p, and 115.6 at 4K. Medium settings move from 166.4 to 152.1 to 127.9, and Low settings from 271.3 to 242.8 to 201.5.

The consistency of the scaling across all four presets indicates that resolution, not settings, is the dominant factor. The GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions; the CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU even at 1080p Low, where the combo reaches 271.3 FPS. The Low preset at 4K (201.5 FPS) still exceeds the Ultra preset at 1080p (128.8 FPS), confirming that the GPU's rendering load is the primary constraint as resolution climbs. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution increases, which is the expected signature of a GPU-bound configuration at higher pixel counts. This behavior is typical of a system where the CPU has ample headroom — the 5.60 GHz boost clock and 33 MB of shared L3 cache keep the pipeline fed, while the GPU's workload scales directly with pixel count.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the AD103 chip with 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory runs across a 256-bit bus, delivering 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 2295 MHz with a boost of 2550 MHz, and the memory operates at 23 Gbps effective. With 10,240 shading units, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 80 RT cores, and 320 tensor cores, the card produces 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s. Its texture rate is 816.0 GTexel/s. The card draws 320 W and requires a 700 W power supply, connecting via a single 16-pin connector.

In the benchmark database, the RTX 4080 SUPER's average score of 53,610 places it at the 88th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (0.2% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (0.4% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 7700S (2.1% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (2.9% delta). The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 6,600, and its Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores are 246,994 and 226,163, respectively. The 16 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for Overpower at 4K Ultra, where the combo still averages 97.9 FPS. The 736.3 GB/s bandwidth supports the high frame rates observed at 1440p and 4K, and the 80 RT cores provide hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The GPU's 112 ROPs and 285.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are directly relevant to the fill-rate demands of a 4K resolution, and the measured data confirms that the card handles these demands without dropping below 97.9 FPS at the highest preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 99th out of 1,744 tested configurations. This is consistent with the individual component percentiles: the CPU at the 96th percentile and the GPU at the 88th percentile. The CPU's average benchmark score of 70,104 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-14700K, which scores 70,074 (0% delta). The AMD EPYC 9115 trails by 0.3%, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X leads by 0.4% (negative delta of -0.4), and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 trails by 1.3%. On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's 53,610 average score edges out the RX 6900 XT by 0.2% and the Pro W6600M by 0.4%, while leading the RX 7700S by 2.1% and the RTX 5070 Ti by 2.9%.

The CPU's Cinebench R23 scores are 44,557 multi-core and 6,290 single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 19,287 and single-core of 2,972. Its Passmark multithread score is 52,425 and single-thread is 4,480. These figures place the CPU firmly in the top tier of desktop processors, and the GPU's Passmark G3D score of 34,245 and GPU compute score of 19,822 reinforce its high-end positioning. The CPU's 125 W TDP and the GPU's 320 W TDP together define a power envelope that is typical for a high-refresh 4K gaming system. The rank of 99 out of 1,744 indicates that this pairing is well above the median for Overpower, and the data shows that the combination of a 96th-percentile CPU and an 88th-percentile GPU produces frame rates that are competitive with the best configurations in the database.

At 1080p, the combo delivers 271.3 FPS on Low, 166.4 on Medium, 154.3 on High, and 128.8 on Ultra. Moving to 1440p, the Low preset reaches 242.8 FPS, while Ultra drops to 117.7. At 4K, Low remains at 201.5 FPS, but Ultra falls to 97.9. The ordering of presets is consistent at every resolution: Low always produces the highest frame rate, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. The margin between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution increases, which is consistent with the GPU becoming the dominant bottleneck at higher pixel counts. The 4K Ultra result of 97.9 FPS is particularly notable because it remains comfortably above the minimum threshold for smooth gameplay, and the 1440p Ultra result of 117.7 FPS is well positioned for high-refresh-rate displays.
