Overpower

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H paired with the AMD Radeon 760M integrated graphics delivers a strictly entry-level experience in Overpower, ranking 2970th out of 2980 tested combos. The data indicates this configuration is not capable of maintaining playable frame rates at any resolution above 1080p with quality settings, and even at 1080p, users must accept significant visual compromises to approach smoothness. The measured results consistently show the AMD Radeon 760M as the dominant bottleneck, with the CPU’s strong multi-threaded capabilities providing little benefit in this action title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured frame rate data provides a clear verdict: the Low preset is the only viable option for a playable experience in Overpower, and even then, performance is marginal. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 44 FPS. This is the only configuration across all tested resolutions and settings that breaks the 40 FPS barrier. While 44 FPS is not ideal for a fast-paced action game, it is the sole preset that offers a degree of responsiveness. The Medium preset at 1080p drops the average to 28 FPS, a 36% reduction from Low, which is a substantial loss for a visual upgrade that remains below the 30 FPS threshold typically considered the minimum for playability.

The High and Ultra presets at 1080p yield averages of 26 FPS and 21 FPS, respectively. These results are firmly in unplayable territory, with frame pacing likely to feel sluggish. The data strongly suggests that users should not attempt these settings. At 2560x1440, the situation worsens. The Low preset manages 39 FPS, which is technically the second-best result in the entire dataset, but the Medium preset falls to 25 FPS, and High and Ultra drop to 23 FPS and 19 FPS, respectively. The 4K results are uniformly poor, with even the Low preset only reaching 33 FPS.

The optimal strategy, based purely on the measured rows, is to run the game at 1920x1080 with the Low preset. This provides the highest average frame rate available from this hardware combination. For users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, the Medium preset at 1080p is the highest quality setting that remains within a measurable range of the Low preset’s performance, but the 16 FPS average difference makes it a poor trade-off. The data indicates that any attempt to run Overpower at 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 with High or Ultra settings will result in average frame rates in the teens or low twenties, which is not a functional gaming experience.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor based on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm process node. Its performance profile in Overpower reveals a component that is fundamentally constrained by its design. The GPU has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2599 MHz, but these clocks are insufficient to drive the game’s rendering workload at higher resolutions. The Radeon 760M’s average benchmark score is 6019, which places it in the 35th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Radeon RX 6400 (deltaPct of 0.3%) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M (deltaPct of 0.3%). This positioning in the lower half of the performance spectrum is directly reflected in the Overpower frame rates.

The GPU’s memory configuration is "System Shared," meaning it relies on the system’s main memory rather than dedicated VRAM. This shared memory architecture is a critical limitation for a modern game like Overpower, as it introduces latency and bandwidth contention with the CPU. The memory bandwidth is listed as "System Dependent," which underscores that the GPU’s performance is not fixed but rather tied to the capabilities of the host system’s DDR5 memory. The GPU also has a relatively low transistor count of 25,390 million and a die size of 178 mm², with 512 shading units and 16 ROPs. These specifications translate into a raw fill rate of 41.58 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 83.17 GTexel/s, which are simply not sufficient for the demands of 1440p or 4K rendering in a contemporary action title.

The evidence from Overpower is that the Radeon 760M is the primary limiting factor. The frame rate scaling between settings at a given resolution is steep, indicating that the GPU is saturated. For instance, at 1080p, moving from Low (44 FPS) to Ultra (21 FPS) represents a 52% performance loss, a clear sign that the GPU’s compute units and ROPs are overwhelmed by the increased shading and texture work. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 5.323 TFLOPS is modest, and this theoretical peak is never approached in real-world gaming scenarios. The data suggests that this GPU is suitable for e-sports titles at low settings, but Overpower pushes it beyond its capabilities.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate degradation from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent across all settings, confirming that the AMD Radeon 760M is the bottleneck. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 44 FPS at 1920x1080 to 39 FPS at 2560x1440, a 11% reduction, and then to 33 FPS at 3840x2160, a further 15% reduction from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU that is struggling with pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth. The jump from 1080p to 1440p increases the pixel count by 78%, yet the frame rate only drops by 11%, which might initially suggest a CPU limitation at 1080p. However, the subsequent drop to 4K (which is 2.25 times the pixel count of 1440p) results in a 15% frame rate decrease, indicating that the GPU is becoming progressively more strained.

The data for Medium settings shows a similar trend: 28 FPS at 1080p, 25 FPS at 1440p, and 21 FPS at 4K. The High settings follow the same pattern: 26 FPS at 1080p, 23 FPS at 1440p, and 19 FPS at 4K. The Ultra settings are consistently the lowest, with 21 FPS at 1080p, 19 FPS at 1440p, and 16 FPS at 4K. The consistent delta between settings at each resolution (e.g., roughly 5-6 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p) suggests that the GPU’s compute resources, not the CPU, are the limiting factor. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see a plateau in frame rates as resolution increases, because the CPU’s workload remains constant regardless of pixel count. Instead, the frame rates continue to fall, which is the signature of a GPU-bound scenario.

The 4K results are particularly telling. Even the best 4K result (Low settings at 33 FPS) is below the 35 FPS mark, and the worst (Ultra at 16 FPS) is a slideshow. The scaling between 1080p and 4K at Low settings (44 FPS to 33 FPS, a 25% drop) is less severe than the scaling between 1080p and 4K at Ultra settings (21 FPS to 16 FPS, a 24% drop), but the absolute numbers are abysmal. The data indicates that this combo is not designed for 4K gaming in Overpower; the integrated GPU simply lacks the pixel throughput and memory bandwidth to maintain acceptable frame rates. The limiting component is unequivocally the GPU, as evidenced by the monotonic decrease in performance with increasing resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and the AMD Radeon 760M ranks 2970th out of 2980 tested combos in Overpower. This places it in the bottom 0.3% of all tested hardware configurations, a position that confirms its status as a low-end solution for this specific game. The data shows that this combo is not merely below average; it is at the absolute bottom of the performance spectrum. This ranking is consistent with the individual component benchmarks. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 27507, placing it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (deltaPct of -0.1%) and the Intel Core i5-12600K (deltaPct of -0.3%). In contrast, the GPU’s average benchmark score is 6019, placing it in the 35th percentile, which is a much lower standing.

The stark difference in component percentiles (79th for CPU vs. 35th for GPU) is the primary reason for the combo’s poor ranking. The CPU is a capable mobile processor, but it is paired with an integrated GPU that is far below the performance level of the discrete graphics cards that would be necessary for a high ranking in Overpower. The comboRankInGame of 2970 out of 2980 means that only 10 other tested combinations perform worse. This is a damning statistic for anyone hoping to play Overpower with this hardware. The ranking is not a reflection of the CPU’s capabilities, but rather a direct consequence of the GPU’s limitations.

The benchmark results indicate that this combo is functionally inadequate for Overpower. While the CPU could handle the game’s logic and physics, the GPU cannot keep up with the rendering demands. The 2970th place ranking is a verdict: this is a hardware configuration for basic productivity tasks or very light gaming, not for a modern action title. The data suggests that users with this combo would need to drastically lower their expectations or consider an external GPU solution, if supported, to achieve a playable experience.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is a 14-core, 18-thread processor based on the Meteor Lake architecture, built on a 7 nm process node. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, with a TDP of 28 W. In terms of raw processing power, the CPU is a strong performer. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 12804.5, and its Passmark multi-thread score is 21100. These scores place it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rival being the AMD Ryzen 7 5800, which has a deltaPct of -0.1%. This indicates that the CPU is not the bottleneck in Overpower; it has ample headroom to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic.

The CPU’s cache configuration includes 112 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache. This cache hierarchy is designed to reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for gaming. However, in Overpower, the measured frame rates show no signs of CPU limitation. The frame rate scaling between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p (44 FPS vs. 21 FPS) is a 52% drop, which is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates would be similar across different quality settings, because the CPU’s workload (e.g., physics, AI) is largely independent of resolution and graphics settings.

The CPU’s performance in synthetic benchmarks, such as the Passmark single-thread score of 3399, confirms that it is more than capable of handling the single-threaded workloads that are common in game engines. The data suggests that the CPU is "waiting" for the GPU in most frames. The fact that the combo ranks so poorly (2970th) despite having a strong CPU is definitive proof that the GPU is the limiting component. The CPU’s 18 threads and 4.5 GHz boost clock are irrelevant when the GPU can only produce 44 FPS at the lowest settings. The CPU role in this combo is to provide a solid foundation, but it cannot compensate for the GPU’s lack of rasterization power.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Overpower is presented below, showing the exact average frame rates for each resolution and settings combination. Minimum and maximum frame rates were only recorded for the Medium settings at each resolution.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: Average 44 FPS. This is the highest average frame rate achieved by this combo in any configuration.
• Medium: Average 28 FPS, with a minimum of 23 FPS and a maximum of 32 FPS. The frame time variance is notable, indicating potential stuttering.
• High: Average 26 FPS. A modest drop from Medium, suggesting the GPU is already near its limits.
• Ultra: Average 21 FPS. This is the lowest 1080p result, rendering the game nearly unplayable.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: Average 39 FPS. The only 1440p result above 30 FPS, but still a 11% drop from the 1080p Low result.
• Medium: Average 25 FPS, with a minimum of 21 FPS and a maximum of 28 FPS. The minimum frame rate of 21 FPS indicates significant dips below the average.
• High: Average 23 FPS. A 12% drop from the 1080p High result.
• Ultra: Average 19 FPS. This is below the 20 FPS threshold, making the game feel like a slideshow.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: Average 33 FPS. The best 4K result, but still below the 35 FPS mark.
• Medium: Average 21 FPS, with a minimum of 18 FPS and a maximum of 24 FPS. The minimum frame rate of 18 FPS is critically low.
• High: Average 19 FPS. A 15% drop from the 1440p High result.
• Ultra: Average 16 FPS. The worst result in the entire dataset, confirming that 4K Ultra is not a viable option.

The data shows a clear and consistent pattern: frame rates decrease as resolution and settings increase. The only configuration that approaches playability is 1080p Low at 44 FPS. All other configurations fall below the 30 FPS threshold, with many falling into the low 20s or teens. The measured FPS breakdown provides concrete evidence that this combo is unsuitable for Overpower beyond the most minimal settings, and users should expect a sub-30 FPS experience at any resolution above 1080p.
