Undisputed

The pairing of the Intel Core i5-11400F with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a robust experience in Undisputed, with the data showing a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. The benchmark results indicate that this combination is well-balanced, though the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases to 4K. At 1080p, the system demonstrates exceptional headroom, while at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to a level that requires settings adjustments for optimal playability.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable but significant scaling pattern as resolution increases. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 172 FPS at 1920x1080 to 124 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 48 FPS, and then further down to 78 FPS at 3840x2160, which represents a drop of 94 FPS from the 1080p figure. This scaling indicates that the rendering load on the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT increases substantially with pixel count, and the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck at higher resolutions.

The scaling behavior is even more pronounced when examining the Low settings preset. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 288 FPS, which drops to 208 FPS at 1440p and then to 132 FPS at 4K. The percentage decline from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is steep, showing that even with minimal graphical demands, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are taxed heavily by the 3840x2160 resolution. This pattern strongly suggests that the processor is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions; instead, the GPU's capabilities define the performance ceiling.

Medium settings provide a more nuanced view of the scaling. The frame rate goes from 207 FPS at 1080p to 150 FPS at 1440p and then to 95 FPS at 4K. The 4K Medium result of 95 FPS is notable because it remains above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the GPU can handle high pixel counts when the graphics load is moderated. The min FPS values at Medium settings—176 FPS at 1080p, 127 FPS at 1440p, and 81 FPS at 4K—show that frame pacing remains consistent, with no severe drops that would indicate a CPU bottleneck.

Ultra settings reveal the most demanding scenario. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 110 FPS, which falls to 80 FPS at 1440p and then to 50 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 50 FPS is the only measured point below the 60 FPS standard, clearly showing that the GPU is overwhelmed when both resolution and graphical fidelity are maximized. The data indicates that the transition from 1440p to 4K is the most punishing, with a 30 FPS drop at Ultra settings, which underscores the GPU's role as the primary constraint in this configuration.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides ample processing power for Undisputed. The CPU's base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz are sufficient to keep up with the GPU across most settings, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p. The data shows that even at 1080p Low, where the CPU would be most likely to bottleneck due to the high FPS, the system reaches 288 FPS, indicating that the processor is not holding back performance.

Benchmark scores for the i5-11400F place it in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17177. Its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7H12 with a score of 17120 (0.3% delta), the Intel Core i5-12450H at 17239 (-0.4% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G at 17278 (-0.6% delta). These comparisons show that the i5-11400F is competitively positioned, though it is not a top-tier processor by synthetic benchmarks. However, in Undisputed, the CPU's 12 threads are more than adequate, as the game's sports genre typically does not exhibit extreme multi-threaded demands.

The CPU's 12 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth contribute to its ability to feed the GPU efficiently. In the measured results, the lack of min FPS data for most settings suggests that there are no significant frame hitches that would indicate CPU stalls. The consistent performance across 1080p and 1440p, where the CPU has more headroom, confirms that the processor is not the bottleneck in this pairing.

At 4K, the CPU's role diminishes further, as the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. The data shows that at 4K Low, the frame rate is 132 FPS, which is still high but significantly lower than the 288 FPS at 1080p Low. This reduction is entirely attributable to the GPU's rendering load, not CPU limitations. The i5-11400F's single-thread performance, as indicated by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2024, is strong enough to avoid becoming a constraint even at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 200 FPS.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the dominant component in this system for Undisputed, and its 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth provides substantial headroom for high-resolution textures. The GPU's boost clock of 2600 MHz and game clock of 2495 MHz contribute to its strong rasterization performance, which is evident in the measured frame rates. The GPU's 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs enable it to handle the game's rendering demands effectively.

The RX 6750 XT's benchmark results place it in the 71st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26011. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon R9 M395X at 25891 (0.5% delta), the AMD FirePro W7100 at 25856 (0.6% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Mobile at 25740 (1.1% delta). These close scores indicate that the RX 6750 XT is a mid-to-high tier GPU, and its performance in Undisputed aligns with this positioning.

The GPU's 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 166.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are key factors in its ability to maintain high frame rates. At 1080p, the GPU can push frame rates well above 200 FPS on Low and Medium settings, showing that it is not the limiting factor at this resolution. However, as resolution increases, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become more critical. The 4K Ultra result of 50 FPS suggests that the GPU is at its limits, as the combination of 3840x2160 resolution and Ultra settings requires more than the GPU can deliver.

The GPU's memory configuration is particularly relevant for higher resolutions. With 12 GB of VRAM, the RX 6750 XT can handle large texture sets without exceeding memory capacity, which is likely why the frame rates at 4K Medium and High remain playable. The 432.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture data can be streamed efficiently, but the scaling from 1080p to 4K shows that the GPU's compute resources, not memory capacity, are the primary constraint.

This suggests that the system maintains consistent frame pacing without severe stutters, which is important for a sports game where smooth animation is critical.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user's resolution and performance priorities. For 1080p users, the High settings preset at 172 FPS provides an excellent balance between visual quality and performance, with enough headroom to ensure smooth gameplay on high refresh rate monitors. The Ultra preset at 110 FPS is also viable for 1080p, offering the best visual fidelity while maintaining frame rates well above 60 FPS.

For 1440p, the Medium settings at 150 FPS is the recommended choice for most users, as it delivers a 127 FPS minimum and 172 FPS maximum, ensuring a consistently smooth experience. The High preset at 124 FPS is also acceptable and provides better visual quality. The Ultra preset at 80 FPS is playable but may not be ideal for competitive play where higher frame rates are preferred.

For 4K users, the Medium settings at 95 FPS is the clear recommendation, as it provides a good balance of visual fidelity and performance. The High preset at 78 FPS is also viable, though it may be less comfortable on displays with higher refresh rates. The Ultra preset at 50 FPS should be avoided, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold and may result in noticeable judder during fast-paced boxing action. The Low preset at 132 FPS offers the smoothest 4K experience but sacrifices visual quality significantly.

The data suggests that the Medium settings preset is the sweet spot for this hardware combination, providing the best balance between visual quality and frame rate across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 207 FPS, at 1440p it delivers 150 FPS, and at 4K it delivers 95 FPS, all of which are above the 60 FPS standard. The consistent min FPS values at Medium settings further support this recommendation, indicating stable performance without major drops. For users with high refresh rate monitors, the Low preset at 1080p offers the highest frame rate of 288 FPS, but the visual trade-off may not be worth it given the High preset's 172 FPS result.
