# Undisputed with Intel Core i5-11400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a broad performance envelope in Undisputed, a sports title that scales strongly across resolutions and presets. This combination ranks 967th out of 1580 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. The measured frame rates reveal a system that can drive high refresh rates at 1080p, remains comfortable at 1440p, but requires careful settings management at 4K. The data shows a balanced pairing where neither component becomes a consistent bottleneck, though the performance gap between Low and Ultra presets widens dramatically as resolution increases.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial across all settings, but the rate of decline reveals important characteristics about this pairing. At Low settings, the system delivers 249.9 FPS at 1920x1080, dropping to 182.6 FPS at 2560x1440, and further to 113.4 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 54.7% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating that even at Low settings the GPU is being progressively taxed as pixel count rises. The 1440p to 4K transition alone cuts performance by 37.9%, suggesting the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate but not overflowing at lower presets.

At High settings, the scaling pattern shifts. The system produces 151.3 FPS at 1080p, 108.8 FPS at 1440p, and 70.9 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 53.1%, slightly less severe than at Low, which indicates the CPU begins to play a larger role at higher frame rates. The 1440p to 4K reduction of 34.8% is more moderate, showing that the GPU's compute resources — 2560 shading units and 9.062 TFLOPS FP32 — are being utilized more efficiently at higher resolutions.

Ultra settings present the most challenging scenario. At 1080p, the system manages 97.8 FPS, dropping to 69.4 FPS at 1440p, and collapsing to 46.1 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 4K reduction is 52.9%, remarkably consistent with the High preset. However, the absolute values tell the story: at 4K Ultra, the system barely maintains playable frame rates, suggesting the GPU is the limiting component at this resolution. The 1440p Ultra result of 69.4 FPS shows that even at the second-highest resolution, Ultra presets push the RTX 2070 SUPER near its practical limits for smooth gameplay.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 2.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This Rocket Lake processor, built on a 14 nm process, shows strong synthetic performance with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 14372 and single-core score of 2029. The 3DMark results indicate scaling from 1691 at 2 threads to 5652 at max threads, demonstrating efficient multi-threaded utilization. This processor's 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs suggests it has ample headroom for gaming workloads.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes most apparent at lower resolutions where frame rates are highest. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 249.9 FPS, a figure that approaches the practical limits of many displays. The data shows the i5-11400F can feed the RTX 2070 SUPER adequately at these high frame rates, as the GPU remains the performance limiter. However, the 3DMark 16-thread score of 5619 and max-thread score of 5652 indicate near-perfect scaling across 12 threads, which aligns with a sports title that likely uses multiple cores for physics and AI.

The processor's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with a delta of 0%, and the Intel Core i7-1260P at -0.2%. These comparisons show the i5-11400F is competitively positioned for its generation, though newer mobile processors match its output. The 75th percentile ranking means this CPU outperforms three-quarters of all processors tested, reinforcing that it is not likely to bottleneck in Undisputed at standard gaming resolutions. At 4K Ultra where frame rates drop to 46.1 FPS, the CPU is clearly not the constraint — the GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs becomes the dominant factor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system shows remarkable headroom across all presets. Low settings produce 249.9 FPS, Medium delivers 183.4 FPS, High achieves 151.3 FPS, and Ultra manages 97.8 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra represents a 60.9% reduction in performance, reflecting the increasing GPU load from more demanding effects and geometry. Even at Ultra, the frame rate exceeds 60 FPS, making 1080p the most forgiving resolution for this combination.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance envelope tightens. Low settings yield 182.6 FPS, Medium produces 133.8 FPS, High reaches 108.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 69.4 FPS. The Low to Ultra reduction is 62.0%, slightly more pronounced than at 1080p. This resolution represents a sweet spot for the RTX 2070 SUPER, as High settings maintain triple-digit frame rates while Ultra remains playable.

At 3840x2160, the system's limits become clear. Low settings still deliver 113.4 FPS, which is respectable, but Medium falls to 84.5 FPS, High drops to 70.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 46.1 FPS. The Low to Ultra reduction is 59.3%, showing that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are stretched thinly at this resolution. The 4K Low result demonstrates that the 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth can handle lower presets, but Ultra's demands exceed what this GPU can comfortably sustain.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, based on the TU104 chip and Turing architecture, brings 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs to the task. Its base clock of 1605 MHz boosts to 1770 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus. The 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves adequate for most Undisputed scenarios but becomes a limiting factor at 4K Ultra.

The GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 22206, places it in the mid-range tier. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A400, scores 22307 with a -0.5% delta, while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 trails at 21670 with a 2.5% delta. These comparisons show the RTX 2070 SUPER is competitively positioned within its generation, though newer mobile parts like the RTX 4060 Mobile (22729, -2.3% delta) have surpassed it.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is most evident at 4K and at Ultra presets. The drop from 97.8 FPS at 1080p Ultra to 46.1 FPS at 4K Ultra represents a 52.9% reduction, directly attributable to the increased pixel count overwhelming the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity. The pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s are sufficient for lower resolutions but become strained at 4K. The 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores, while useful for other workloads, do not provide direct benefits in this non-ray-traced sports title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data suggests that High settings at 2560x1440 provides the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. At 108.8 FPS, this configuration exceeds the refresh rate of most standard monitors while maintaining the higher visual quality that High presets offer over Medium. For users with 144 Hz displays, this is the recommended combination. At 1080p, High settings at 151.3 FPS offer an even more comfortable margin, allowing the system to handle demanding scenes without dropping below display refresh rates.

For those prioritizing maximum visual quality, 1440p Ultra at 69.4 FPS remains viable for 60 Hz displays, though the 46.1 FPS result at 4K Ultra suggests this preset is only suitable for slower-paced viewing or non-competitive play. The 4K High setting at 70.9 FPS is a better choice for 4K displays, providing 60+ FPS with substantially better visuals than Medium. At 1080p, Ultra at 97.8 FPS is perfectly playable and offers the best experience for users who value image quality over raw frame rates.

The Low preset at any resolution provides excessive frame rates — 249.9 FPS at 1080p, 182.6 FPS at 1440p, and 113.4 FPS at 4K — but the visual compromise is significant. Medium settings at 1440p (133.8 FPS) and 1080p (183.4 FPS) offer good performance for high refresh rate displays, but High settings provide a more noticeable visual improvement at a modest frame rate cost. Given the data, High at 1440p is the recommended default, with Ultra at 1080p as the alternative for users who prefer maximum detail at lower resolutions.
