Undisputed

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT lands at rank 1951 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. That places it in the 48th percentile of all systems tested, which is a middle-of-the-pack result for a pairing that combines a 6-core Rocket Lake CPU with a RDNA 2.0 GPU. The data suggests this is not a top-tier combination for this title, but it is far from an outlier at the bottom of the pile.

Benchmark results indicate the combo sits in a crowded field where small shifts in component performance can move a system dozens of places. The CPU's own percentile rank against all processors is 71, while the GPU sits at 72, yet their combined rank in this specific game is lower than either component's individual standing. This discrepancy hints that Undisputed may not be perfectly balanced between the two components, or that the game's engine favors certain hardware characteristics over raw aggregate scores.

What stands out is how close the individual component rivals are. The i5-11400F's nearest rival, the AMD EPYC 7H12, scores nearly identically with a deltaPct of just 0.3%, meaning the CPU is essentially matched by a server-class chip in synthetic benchmarks. On the GPU side, the RX 6700 XT is within 0.5% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 in average benchmark score, a remarkable near-tie that suggests the AMD card punches well above its expected weight class in general compute tasks. However, these synthetic equivalences do not always translate to in-game performance, and the combo's rank here reflects actual measured FPS rather than theoretical averages.

The rank of 1951 out of 3718 means roughly half of all tested configurations outperform this pairing in Undisputed. This is not a condemnation, but it does frame expectations: this system will deliver playable frames, but it is not chasing leaderboard positions. The data implies that for players seeking maximum performance in this specific sports title, other combinations have proven stronger, while for those with this exact hardware, the experience remains solidly mainstream.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is the dominant component in this pairing for Undisputed, and its specifications reveal why it handles the game's demands with relative ease at most settings. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is substantial for a game released in 2023, allowing high-resolution textures and effects to be stored locally without stuttering from memory overflow.

Clock speeds are aggressive for a mid-range card: a base clock of 2321 MHz, a boost clock of 2581 MHz, and a game clock of 2424 MHz. These figures are notably high, especially the boost clock which exceeds 2.5 GHz, enabling the 2560 shading units to push pixels rapidly. The GPU's pixel rate of 165.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 413.0 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed for the fast-paced action of a boxing simulation, where character models and ring environments demand constant rendering updates.

The FP32 performance of 13.21 TFLOPS is strong for this class, and the 40 ray tracing cores, though not heavily utilized in a sports title, add future-proofing. The card's 72nd percentile ranking among all GPUs places it above the median, and its nearest rival, the RTX 3090, is virtually tied at a deltaPct of -0.5%. This near-parity in synthetic benchmarks is striking given the generational and price gap between the two cards, but in Undisputed, the RX 6700 XT's performance will be dictated more by driver optimization and the game's rendering paths than by raw compute.

At 1080p, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor only at Ultra settings, where the average FPS drops to 105. At lower presets, the frame rates climb so high that the CPU likely becomes the bottleneck, as discussed in the CPU section. The 12 GB VRAM is never threatened at any resolution in this game, given that even at 4K Ultra the card manages 48 FPS, which suggests memory capacity is not a constraint here.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, with the GPU becoming progressively more stressed. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 274 FPS, which drops to 198 FPS at 1440p Low, and further to 125 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K at the lowest settings, indicating that even at Low, the resolution increase significantly taxes the rendering pipeline.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar: 197 FPS at 1080p, 143 FPS at 1440p, and 90 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 27%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 37%, showing that the higher resolution step costs disproportionately more performance. This is typical for a GPU-bound scenario, where the number of pixels scales geometrically and the rasterization workload increases accordingly.

High settings show the same pattern with 163 FPS at 1080p, 118 FPS at 1440p, and 75 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 4K drop here is 54%, consistent with Low. However, at Ultra settings, the numbers tell a different story: 105 FPS at 1080p, 76 FPS at 1440p, and 48 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 54% again, but the absolute values are much lower, indicating that Ultra settings impose a heavy consistent overhead regardless of resolution.

What the data implies about the limiting component is subtle. At 1080p Low, the 274 FPS figure far exceeds what the CPU's single-thread performance would suggest as a hard cap, given its 3dmark single-thread score of 868. This indicates the GPU is not fully saturated at low resolutions and settings, and the CPU is doing more work than expected. Conversely, at 4K Ultra, the 48 FPS result points squarely at the GPU as the bottleneck, as the pixel throughput demand overwhelms the RDNA 2.0 architecture's capabilities. The scaling suggests that for this combo, the GPU becomes the primary limiter at resolutions above 1440p, while at 1080p, the balance is more even.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear hierarchy for optimal settings based on the desired frame rate target. For players with a 60 FPS display, the data shows that 4K Medium delivers 90 FPS, which is comfortably above the threshold and offers a good balance of visual quality and smoothness. Pushing to 4K High yields 75 FPS, still playable, but 4K Ultra drops to 48 FPS, which would introduce noticeable stutter on a standard 60 Hz monitor.

At 1440p, the recommendations become more generous. Medium settings produce 143 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh displays up to 144 Hz. High settings at 118 FPS also clear that bar, while Ultra at 76 FPS is suitable for 60 Hz panels but may not fully utilize a 144 Hz screen. For competitive play where every frame matters, 1440p Low at 198 FPS exceeds even the fastest gaming monitors available, suggesting that players can sacrifice visual fidelity for maximum responsiveness.

The 1080p results offer the widest range of options. Low at 274 FPS is overkill for any current display, Medium at 197 FPS is ideal for 165 Hz or 240 Hz monitors, and High at 163 FPS still satisfies a 144 Hz panel. Ultra at 105 FPS, however, is the only setting at 1080p that falls below 120 FPS, making it a poor choice for high-refresh gaming but perfectly acceptable for 60 Hz play.

The best experience per the measured rows is arguably 1440p High. It delivers 118 FPS, which is smooth on most high-refresh monitors, while maintaining the visual enhancements of High over Medium. The step from Medium to High at 1440p costs 25 FPS (from 143 to 118), but the visual improvement in a sports title with detailed character models and arena environments justifies the trade-off. For those prioritizing frame rate above all, 1080p Medium at 197 FPS is the sweet spot, offering a massive FPS buffer without the steep drop to Ultra's 105 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates its strongest performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 274 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded in the entire dataset. Medium settings follow at 197 FPS, with a minimum of 168 FPS and a maximum of 227 FPS, showing a tight frame delivery with no severe dips. High settings yield 163 FPS, while Ultra drops to 105 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 169 FPS, indicating that the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution even under the heaviest presets.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decrease but remain high. Low settings deliver 198 FPS, nearly matching the 1080p Medium result. Medium settings produce 143 FPS, with a minimum of 121 FPS and a maximum of 164 FPS, showing a wider variance than at 1080p but still consistent. High settings reach 118 FPS, and Ultra falls to 76 FPS. The 1440p results show a similar proportional scaling to 1080p, with Ultra being the only setting that approaches the 60 FPS threshold, and even then it exceeds it by 26%.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low settings still manage 125 FPS, which is respectable for 4K. Medium settings drop to 90 FPS, with a minimum of 77 FPS and a maximum of 104 FPS, indicating that the game can occasionally dip below the 60 FPS mark when the action intensifies. High settings produce 75 FPS, and Ultra falls to 48 FPS, which is below the standard 60 FPS refresh rate and would be noticeable to most players. The 4K data shows that this combo is best suited for High settings at this resolution, as the step from High to Ultra costs 27 FPS, a 36% reduction that is difficult to justify without a variable refresh rate display.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Rocket Lake architecture, built on Intel's 14 nm process. Its base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz provide a solid foundation for gaming, and the 12 MB of shared L3 cache helps with data locality in games like Undisputed that have moderate thread counts. The CPU's 3dmark single-thread score of 868 and multi-thread score of 5652 indicate that it handles single-threaded tasks well, which is crucial for a sports title that may not fully utilize all 12 threads.

In this pairing, the CPU's role varies significantly depending on the resolution and settings. At 1080p Low, the 274 FPS average suggests that the CPU is not the primary limiter, as the GPU is able to render frames faster than most displays can show them. However, the 3dmark 2-thread score of 1691 and 4-thread score of 3171 reveal that the CPU's per-core strength is moderate, and in a game like Undisputed where physics and AI calculations for boxer movements occur on the CPU, these scores matter.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7H12, which scores 0.3% higher in average benchmark, and the Intel Core i5-12450H, which scores 0.4% lower. These deltas are negligible, meaning the i5-11400F performs on par with a server processor and a mobile chip in synthetic tests. For gaming, the 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Undisputed, as the game's genre does not typically require the 16+ threads of high-end desktop CPUs.

At 4K Ultra, the CPU's influence diminishes, as the GPU becomes the bottleneck with only 48 FPS. The CPU is likely idling at this setting, waiting for the GPU to complete its rendering tasks. Conversely, at 1080p Low, the CPU may be more active, but the high FPS figures suggest it is not struggling. The data implies that this CPU is well-matched to the RX 6700 XT for Undisputed, providing enough processing power to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at most settings, while the GPU handles the heavy lifting at higher resolutions.
