Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 ranks 58th out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed. This places the combo in the top 3.7% of all systems evaluated, a position driven almost entirely by the GPU’s raw rendering dominance rather than the CPU’s mid-range standing. The i5-11400F sits at the 75th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 4090 reaches the 91st percentile among all GPUs. That gap in percentile positioning is the defining trait of this pairing: the processor is competent but not elite, and the graphics card is among the fastest ever measured. In practical terms, the data indicates a system that can push very high frame rates in this boxing title, but one where the CPU becomes the ceiling at lower resolutions and high settings, while the GPU carries the load at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The 58th-place finish out of 1580 combos is a strong result, but it is not a top-10 placement. The ranking reflects a balance of both components, and the i5-11400F’s average benchmark score of 17181 places it in a tight cluster of rivals. The nearest competitor, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, scores 17189, a delta of 0%. The Intel Core i7-1260P and Intel Core Ultra 7 164U both score 17212 and 17215 respectively, each showing a -0.2% delta. The Intel Core i5-1240U scores 17141, a 0.2% delta. These four rivals are essentially identical in aggregate CPU performance, with the i5-11400F neither leading nor trailing by more than a fraction of a percent. This tells us that the CPU’s contribution to the combo ranking is average; it is not a bottleneck in the traditional sense, but it also does not boost the system beyond what the GPU already provides.

The GPU, by contrast, shows a wider spread against its nearest rivals. The NVIDIA Tesla T4 scores 66733, a -0.4% delta, while the Tesla P40 scores 66127, a 0.5% delta. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 67097, a -0.9% delta, and the NVIDIA Quadro P6000 scores 67320, a -1.3% delta. These deltas are small, but they indicate that the RTX 4090 is not the absolute top scorer in the database; it sits just below the Quadro P6000 in aggregate benchmarks. In Undisputed specifically, the combo’s rank of 58 suggests that the game’s engine responds favorably to the RTX 4090’s architecture, but the i5-11400F’s six cores and twelve threads are sufficient to avoid severe frame pacing issues. The data shows that the combo outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, but it is not the definitive fastest pairing—there are 57 other combos ahead, likely featuring newer or higher-clocked CPUs.

GPU Role

The RTX 4090’s 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus delivers 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, a figure that is crucial for Undisputed’s texture-heavy environments. The memory clock runs at 1313 MHz, with an effective data rate of 21 Gbps. The base clock is 2235 MHz and the boost clock reaches 2520 MHz. These clocks are high, but the real story is the memory subsystem: 24 GB is far more than this game requires at any setting, meaning there is no VRAM capacity limitation in the measured results. The GPU’s 16384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs provide the compute throughput needed to sustain high frame rates, and the 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores indicate support for advanced effects, though Undisputed’s sports genre likely does not stress ray tracing heavily.

The GPU’s FP32 throughput of 82.58 TFLOPS is the key metric for rasterization performance. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 465.5 FPS, which is a clear sign that the CPU is the limiting factor—the GPU could likely render more frames if the processor could feed it faster. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 91.7 FPS, a figure that still exceeds common display refresh rates but is far below the GPU’s potential at lower resolutions. The data suggests that in this pairing, the RTX 4090 is never fully utilized at 1080p or 1440p, but at 4K Ultra it approaches a balanced workload. The pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s are theoretical maxima that the game does not approach, given the CPU bottleneck at low resolutions. The GPU’s 450 W TDP and triple-slot cooler are not directly measured in the FPS data, but they support sustained performance without thermal throttling in the tested scenarios.

FAQ

A: The RTX 4090’s average benchmark score is 66473, which is 0.4% lower than the NVIDIA Tesla T4 (66733), 0.5% higher than the Tesla P40 (66127), 0.9% lower than the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (67097), and 1.3% lower than the NVIDIA Quadro P6000 (67320).

Q: What is the largest performance gap between settings at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the frame rate ranges from 241.7 FPS on Low to 91.7 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 150 FPS, which is the largest relative drop across all resolutions, reflecting the GPU’s workload scaling with settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 465.5 FPS, Medium drops to 385.1 FPS, High yields 316 FPS, and Ultra falls to 204.3 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline, with the largest single-step drop occurring from High to Ultra, a decrease of 111.7 FPS. This resolution is clearly CPU-bound, as the i5-11400F’s six cores are the primary constraint; the RTX 4090 is capable of far more than these numbers suggest.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show the GPU beginning to take on more work. Low settings average 382.3 FPS, Medium reaches 278.3 FPS, High comes in at 228.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 145.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 237 FPS, which is a larger absolute difference than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU’s rendering load is increasing with pixel count. The 1440p data shows a more balanced workload, with the CPU still leading in Low settings but the GPU becoming more influential at Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant factor. Low settings average 241.7 FPS, Medium drops to 173.9 FPS, High falls to 147.1 FPS, and Ultra settles at 91.7 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 150 FPS, which is smaller in absolute terms than at 1440p but represents a larger percentage drop (62% reduction from Low to Ultra). This is the only resolution where the RTX 4090’s 24 GB memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth are meaningfully exercised, and the frame rates reflect a GPU-bound scenario. Across all resolutions and settings, the data shows a consistent pattern: the CPU limits performance at 1080p, the balance shifts at 1440p, and the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component in this pairing. At Low settings, the combo drops from 465.5 FPS at 1080p to 382.3 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 17.9%, and then to 241.7 FPS at 4K, a further 36.8% reduction. This steep decline at Low settings indicates that the CPU is the primary constraint at 1080p, as the GPU has ample headroom and the frame rate is capped by the i5-11400F’s processing speed. The 4K Low figure of 241.7 FPS is still very high, but the drop from 1440p shows the GPU starting to take over.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is more pronounced in percentage terms. The combo goes from 204.3 FPS at 1080p to 145.3 FPS at 1440p, a 28.9% drop, and then to 91.7 FPS at 4K, a 36.9% drop from 1440p. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured in the entire dataset, and the percentage declines are nearly uniform across each resolution step. This suggests that at Ultra settings, the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution, with the CPU providing enough throughput to avoid becoming a bottleneck. The difference between Low and Ultra scaling is instructive: Low settings show a 48% total drop from 1080p to 4K, while Ultra shows a 55% total drop. This indicates that the RTX 4090 is more heavily taxed at higher settings, and the i5-11400F’s role diminishes as the GPU workload increases.

The medium settings show intermediate behavior, with drops from 385.1 FPS at 1080p to 278.3 FPS at 1440p (27.7% reduction) and then to 173.9 FPS at 4K (37.5% reduction). High settings follow a similar pattern, from 316 FPS at 1080p to 228.5 FPS at 1440p (27.7% reduction) and then to 147.1 FPS at 4K (35.6% reduction). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings—roughly 28% from 1080p to 1440p and 36% from 1440p to 4K—points to a GPU that scales predictably with pixel count, with the CPU providing a stable baseline. The data supports the conclusion that this combo is CPU-limited at 1080p Low and Medium, balanced at 1440p, and GPU-limited at 4K Ultra. The RTX 4090’s 24 GB memory and high bandwidth ensure that even at 4K Ultra, the frame rate remains above 90 FPS, which is a strong result for a game of this type.
