The combo's percentile position — roughly in the 54th percentile of all tested configurations — suggests that while it is not a top-tier enthusiast setup, it provides a solid foundation for competitive play in this boxing simulator, with the measured frames per second showing distinct patterns of scaling that indicate where each component's influence begins and ends.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1284 out of 2813 tested combinations in Undisputed places it just above the median of all systems tested. This positioning is significant because it means that roughly 54% of all tested combos outperform this pairing, while 46% fall below it. The ranking reflects a balance between the CPU's 71st percentile standing among all processors and the GPU's 58th percentile among all graphics cards — the system's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU being relatively weaker in the broader hardware landscape.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals provides context for what the i5-11400F brings to this combo. The processor sits within 0.6% of the AMD EPYC 7H12 (0.3% delta), the Intel Core i5-12450H (-0.4% delta), the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (-0.6% delta), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U (0.6% delta). This clustering indicates that in synthetic CPU benchmarks, the i5-11400F is effectively performance-equivalent to a range of server, mobile, and desktop processors from different generations — evidence of its balanced architecture despite being an end-of-life product from 2021.

For the GPU, the RX 7700's nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Radeon R9 370X (a -0.1% delta, essentially a tie), the AMD Radeon RX 9060 (-1% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 (1.1% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (-1.7% delta). The narrow margins here are striking: the RX 7700 is within 1.7% of four very different graphics cards spanning multiple generations and market segments. This suggests that in synthetic workloads, the RX 7700's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 256-bit bus provide enough bandwidth to compete with cards that have different architectural strengths, though the game-specific results will tell a more nuanced story.

FAQ

Q: What is the CPU's single-threaded performance relative to its multi-threaded performance?

A: The i5-11400F scores 868 in 3DMark single-thread and 5652 in 3DMark max-threads, a ratio of roughly 1:6.5. Cinebench R23 shows a single-core score of 2024 versus a multi-core score of 14340, a ratio of about 1:7.1. This indicates strong scaling across its 6 cores and 12 threads, with the boost clock of 4.40 GHz providing respectable single-thread performance for games that rely on one or two primary threads.

Q: Does the combo maintain playable frame rates at 4K?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 4K Low, the combo averages 132 FPS; at 4K Medium, 95 FPS (with a minimum of 80 FPS); at 4K High, 78 FPS; and at 4K Ultra, 50 FPS. The 4K Medium and High presets are both playable, but 4K Ultra dips below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the combo's in-game rank compare to its component percentiles?

A: The combo ranks 1284th out of 2813 (54th percentile), while the CPU sits at the 71st percentile and the GPU at the 58th percentile among their respective categories. The combo's lower relative rank suggests that Undisputed is more demanding on the GPU than the CPU, pulling the overall system rank closer to the GPU's percentile.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K that highlights the GPU as the primary bottleneck in this combo. At 1080p Low, the system produces 288 FPS; at 1440p Low, it drops to 208 FPS (a 27.8% reduction); and at 4K Low, it falls to 132 FPS (a 36.5% reduction from 1440p). This progressive decline with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario — the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the GPU's rendering workload grows disproportionately as pixel count increases.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar but slightly steeper: 207 FPS at 1080p, 150 FPS at 1440p (a 27.5% drop), and 95 FPS at 4K (a 36.7% drop from 1440p). The High preset shows 171 FPS at 1080p, 124 FPS at 1440p (27.5% drop), and 78 FPS at 4K (37.1% drop). Ultra settings follow the same pattern: 110 FPS at 1080p, 80 FPS at 1440p (27.3% drop), and 50 FPS at 4K (37.5% drop).

The consistency of these percentage drops across all four settings presets — roughly 27-28% from 1080p to 1440p and 36-38% from 1440p to 4K — strongly indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at all resolution steps. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the percentage drops would become smaller at higher resolutions (as the GPU takes longer per frame, the CPU has more time to prepare work). Instead, the uniform scaling suggests that the RX 7700's rendering throughput is the determining factor, with the i5-11400F providing sufficient frame preparation at all tested resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate in Undisputed, the data points to the High preset at 1440p as the optimal configuration. This combination delivers an average of 124 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay while providing substantially better visual fidelity than Low or Medium presets. The 1440p High option also leaves headroom for frame rate drops during intense in-ring action, and the lack of reported minimum FPS data for this setting suggests stable performance throughout testing.

At 4K, the High preset (78 FPS average) is the best choice for users with high-resolution displays, as it maintains playable frame rates while offering significantly better visuals than the Medium preset (95 FPS average but with a lower minimum of 80 FPS). The 4K Ultra preset (50 FPS) should be avoided for competitive play, as it dips below the 60 FPS threshold.

For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset (110 FPS average) is recommended, as it provides the highest visual quality while still maintaining frame rates well above 100 FPS. The 1080p Medium preset (207 FPS average) is overkill for most displays and offers diminishing returns unless the user has a very high refresh rate monitor. The data suggests that this combo is capable of delivering excellent experiences across all three resolutions, but the sweet spot lies at 1440p High, where the balance between GPU load and visual output is most favorable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 288 FPS, the Medium preset averages 207 FPS with a minimum of 176 FPS and a maximum of 238 FPS, the High preset averages 171 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 110 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 178 FPS, representing a 61.8% reduction in performance when moving to maximum settings. The Medium preset's minimum of 176 FPS indicates that even in the most demanding scenes, the system maintains frame rates far above typical display refresh rates.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down proportionally. The Low preset averages 208 FPS, the Medium preset averages 150 FPS (minimum 127 FPS, maximum 172 FPS), the High preset averages 124 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 80 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 128 FPS (61.5% reduction), nearly identical to the 1080p ratio. The Medium preset's minimum of 127 FPS still provides a comfortable cushion above 60 FPS, even during the most graphically intensive moments of a fight.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates remain playable but begin to stress the GPU. The Low preset averages 132 FPS, the Medium preset averages 95 FPS (minimum 80 FPS, maximum 109 FPS), the High preset averages 78 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 50 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only configuration across all resolutions and settings that falls below 60 FPS, indicating that the RX 7700's 16 GB of VRAM and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for most scenarios but are pushed to their limits at 4K with maximum settings. The Medium preset's minimum of 80 FPS shows that even at 4K, the combo can maintain smooth frame rates with moderate settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads to this combo, with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. These specifications place it in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17177. The processor's 14 nm Rocket Lake architecture, with 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 12 MB of shared L3 cache, provides solid performance for a game like Undisputed, which is primarily a sports simulation that may not heavily utilize more than a few threads.

The CPU's synthetic benchmark results show a clear scaling pattern: 3DMark scores progress from 868 (single-thread) to 1691 (2-threads), 3171 (4-threads), 4691 (8-threads), and 5652 (max-threads). This indicates that the processor gains meaningful performance up to 8 threads, with diminishing returns beyond that point. For Undisputed, which is unlikely to use more than 4-6 threads effectively, the i5-11400F's performance in the 4-thread and 8-thread benchmarks (3171 and 4691, respectively) is likely more relevant than its max-thread score.

The CPU's memory support for DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for the GPU's needs, though it is not a limiting factor in this combo — the GPU's 624.1 GB/s memory bandwidth dwarfs the CPU's memory throughput. The PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 lanes (CPU only) ensures that the RX 7700 can communicate with the processor at full PCIe 4.0 x16 bandwidth, eliminating any potential interface bottleneck. In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is to maintain consistent frame pacing and handle game logic, physics, and AI for the boxer and opponent — tasks for which its single-threaded score of 868 in 3DMark and 2024 in Cinebench R23 are more than sufficient, as evidenced by the game's ability to push frame rates above 200 FPS at lower settings.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is the dominant component in this combo, and the measured FPS data confirms that it is the primary determinant of performance in Undisputed. The GPU features the Navi 32 chip on a 5 nm process from TSMC, with 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die. Its RDNA 3.0 architecture includes 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, with 40 ray tracing cores. The boost clock of 2459 MHz (with a game clock of 2041 MHz) drives a peak FP32 throughput of 25.18 TFLOPS.

The 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a significant asset for a game like Undisputed that may load high-resolution textures for fighter models, arenas, and crowd environments. The GPU's pixel rate of 236.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 393.4 GTexel/s are well-suited for the rendering demands of a sports title, which typically involves detailed character models and dynamic lighting.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it at the 58th percentile among all graphics cards, with an average score of 15852. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon R9 370X, scores 15862 — a difference of only 0.1%, which is effectively a statistical tie. The RX 7700 also sits within 1.7% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (16129), a card that is often considered a strong 1440p performer. This positioning explains why the combo achieves playable frame rates at 4K with medium settings (95 FPS average) and excellent frame rates at 1440p with high settings (124 FPS average).

The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility ensure that it can fully utilize the modern graphics APIs that Undisputed likely employs. The 200 W TDP and suggested 550 W power supply are reasonable for a mid-range card, and the PCIe 4.0 x16 bus interface allows for maximum data transfer between the CPU and GPU. In Undisputed, the RX 7700's 16 GB VRAM capacity is particularly relevant at 4K resolution, where texture memory demands are highest — the fact that the combo maintains 78 FPS at 4K High suggests that the VRAM capacity is not a limiting factor, and the performance scaling across resolutions is consistent with a GPU that is compute-bound rather than memory-bound.
