# Undisputed with Intel Core i5-10400F + AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT delivers a consistently playable experience in Undisputed, but the data reveals a clear pattern: this combo is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU keeps pace admirably at 1080p. Across all measured settings, the average frame rates range from a low of 42.6 FPS at 4K Ultra to a high of 239.5 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating that the system's performance ceiling is dictated by the graphics card in every scenario tested. The combination ranks 1008th out of 1580 tested combos in this game, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database, yet the actual frame rates suggest a smooth experience for most display configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and consistent, confirming that the Radeon RX 6650 XT is the limiting component. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 142.5 at 1920x1080 to 106 at 2560x1440, then to 64.5 at 3840x2160 — a 54.7% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The pattern holds across all quality presets: Low settings drop from 239.5 to 175.7 to 110.4 FPS across the same resolutions, while Medium falls from 170.2 to 126.1 to 78.1 FPS, and Ultra declines from 91.2 to 66.2 to 42.6 FPS.

The scaling behavior indicates that the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus width become increasingly stressed as pixel count rises. The 4K Ultra result of 42.6 FPS is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that this resolution and preset combination pushes the card beyond its comfortable operating range. Interestingly, the 1080p Low result of 239.5 FPS demonstrates that when the GPU is not the bottleneck, the Intel Core i5-10400F can feed frames at a rate well beyond what most displays can show. The data shows a near-linear scaling pattern between Low and Ultra at each resolution, with Ultra consistently delivering roughly 38% of the Low-setting frame rate — a ratio that holds at 1080p (91.2 vs 239.5), 1440p (66.2 vs 175.7), and 4K (42.6 vs 110.4).

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations, this specific CPU-GPU pairing ranks 1008th out of 1580 combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 36th percentile of all tested systems. This rank reflects the mid-tier positioning of both components: the Radeon RX 6650 XT sits at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, while the Core i5-10400F holds the 73rd percentile among all CPUs. The combination's ranking is slightly below what the individual percentiles might suggest, indicating that Undisputed's engine responds better to other hardware pairings in the same performance class.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (with a delta of 0.0% in average score), the AMD Radeon RX 470 (0.1% higher), the Intel Arc A370M (0.5% lower), and the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GH (0.6% lower). These nearly identical average benchmark scores — all within 0.6% of the RX 6650 XT's 29024 average — suggest that the card performs on par with a diverse set of competitors from both desktop and mobile segments. For the CPU, the nearest rivals are the AMD EPYC 7552 (0.4% higher average score), AMD Ryzen 3 7320C (0.8% lower), Intel Core i5-8500 (1.1% lower), and AMD Ryzen Embedded V2546 (1.2% lower), all clustering around the i5-10400F's 14168 average benchmark score.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 23 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 7 nm process. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, with 32 ray tracing cores. The card's memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 280.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Clock speeds are notably high: the base clock runs at 2055 MHz, the game clock at 2410 MHz, and the boost clock reaches 2635 MHz, with memory operating at 2190 MHz (17.5 Gbps effective).

In Undisputed, the GPU's performance profile aligns closely with its compute capabilities. The card achieves a passmark G3D score of 17166 and a passmark GPU compute score of 7532, with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1859. The 4K Ultra result of 42.6 FPS is the clearest indicator of the GPU's limits — the 10.79 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 168.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming at high settings, but the 4K resolution demands more than the 8 GB frame buffer can efficiently manage at Ultra quality. The card's pixel rate of 168.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 337.3 GTexel/s explain why Medium settings at 1440p (126.1 FPS) remain fluid while 4K Ultra (42.6 FPS) struggles.

A: The measured results show 239.5 FPS at Low, 170.2 FPS at Medium, 142.5 FPS at High, and 91.2 FPS at Ultra.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Comet Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 14 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 256 KB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is limited to DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 42.7 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Undisputed, the CPU's performance characteristics align with its benchmark scores. The processor achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10297 and a single-core score of 1453, with a Geekbench multicore score of 5783 and single-core score of 1454. The 3DMark results show strong scaling from 2 threads (1350) to 16 threads (4748), indicating good multi-threaded utilization. The CPU's percentile ranking of 73 among all processors places it above average, and its passmark multithread score of 12115 reinforces this positioning.

The boost clock of 4.30 GHz is critical for Undisputed's gameplay, as the single-thread performance (Cinebench R15 single-core score of 146) directly impacts the physics and AI calculations typical of sports titles. The 12 MB of shared L3 cache helps maintain consistent frame pacing, as evidenced by the tight relationship between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p — the 239.5 FPS Low result shows the CPU can handle even the highest frame rates the GPU can produce at that resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p displays, the data shows that High settings (142.5 FPS) provide an excellent experience, while Ultra (91.2 FPS) remains fully playable and delivers the best visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. At 1440p, High settings (106 FPS) represent the sweet spot — Medium (126.1 FPS) is also viable for higher refresh rates, while Ultra (66.2 FPS) stays above 60 but with less margin. For 4K, the choice is more constrained: Medium (78.1 FPS) offers the best balance of quality and performance, with High (64.5 FPS) being acceptable for those prioritizing visuals over headroom. Low settings at any resolution produce frame rates above 110 FPS, making them suitable for competitive play or very high refresh rate displays, but the visual trade-off is substantial given the 62-65% reduction compared to Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average frame rates are: Low 239.5 FPS, Medium 170.2 FPS, High 142.5 FPS, and Ultra 91.2 FPS. The progression shows a 28.9% drop from Low to Medium, a 16.3% drop from Medium to High, and a 36.0% drop from High to Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low 175.7 FPS, Medium 126.1 FPS, High 106 FPS, and Ultra 66.2 FPS. The percentage drops from Low to Medium (28.2%) and Medium to High (15.9%) mirror the 1080p pattern, but the High to Ultra drop increases to 37.5%, reflecting the higher pixel load.

At 3840x2160, the measurements show: Low 110.4 FPS, Medium 78.1 FPS, High 64.5 FPS, and Ultra 42.6 FPS. The Low to Medium drop is 29.3%, Medium to High is 17.4%, and High to Ultra is 33.9%. The 4K Ultra result of 42.6 FPS is the only measured configuration below 60 FPS, confirming that this combo's practical ceiling is 1440p Ultra or 4K Medium for consistent 60+ FPS gameplay.
