CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12400 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Alder Lake architecture using Intel's 10 nm process. It operates with a 2.50 GHz base clock and a 4.40 GHz boost clock, with a 65 W TDP. The chip includes 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 18 MB of shared L3 cache, supporting DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode.

Benchmark data indicates this CPU is a solid mid-range performer. In Cinebench R23, it scores 15935 in multi-core and 2249 in single-core. The 3DMark results show scaling from 910 in single-thread to 1692 in 2-thread, 3012 in 4-thread, 4745 in 8-thread, and 5890 in max-thread tests. PassMark scores include 3456 in single-thread and 18747 in multithread, with a physics score of 1105. The average benchmark score of 19850 places it at the 77th percentile of all CPUs.

For Undisputed, a sports title, the CPU's thread scaling matters less than sustained single-core throughput. The 12 threads handle game logic and AI without bottlenecking the GPU in most scenarios. The 4.40 GHz boost clock provides strong per-core performance, which is reflected in the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2249. This is adequate for maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions where CPU overhead is more visible.

The nearest rival comparisons show the i5-12400 sits in a narrow band with older Intel parts. It is essentially tied with the Core i7-9700 (0.1% faster) and the Core i7-8700 (0.2% slower). The delta against the Threadripper PRO 5995WX is negligible at 0.4% slower, which highlights that raw core count does not translate to average benchmark dominance. The 0.4% lead over the Core i5-11600K confirms this is a mature, well-balanced design for gaming workloads.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 23 chip on TSMC's 7 nm process. It packs 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray accelerators. The GPU runs at a 1968 MHz base clock, a 2359 MHz game clock, and a 2589 MHz boost clock. Memory consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth at 2000 MHz (16 Gbps effective). The card's FP32 throughput is 10.60 TFLOPS, with a texture rate of 331.4 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 165.7 GPixel/s. It draws up to 160 W and requires a 450 W suggested PSU, using a single 8-pin connector.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 27985 places it at the 71st percentile of all GPUs. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 1804. PassMark results show a G3D score of 16461, a G2D score of 912, and a compute score of 7520. API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

In Undisputed, the RX 6600 XT shows clear resolution scaling limits. At 1920x1080, the card is rarely stressed, producing 226.4 FPS on Low and still 87.2 FPS on Ultra. At 2560x1440, the Ultra setting drops to 64.1 FPS, indicating the GPU is becoming the primary constraint. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset falls to 39.9 FPS, which is below smooth-playability thresholds for a fast-paced sports sim.

The nearest rival data positions this GPU close to older high-end cards. The 0.1% advantage over the GTX 980 Ti and 0.4% over the R9 M395X reflects the RX 6600 XT's modern feature set, while the 0.9% deficit to the RTX 3070 shows the performance gap to a higher-tier part. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this title at the tested settings, as evidenced by the measured frame rates, though the 128-bit bus limits bandwidth at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400 and the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT ranks 1169 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the 74th percentile of all tested configurations, which is notably below what the individual component percentiles might suggest. The CPU sits at the 77th percentile and the GPU at the 71st, so the combo's rank is dragged down by the pairing's overall balance rather than any single weak point.

The rank of 1169 indicates that most other combos in the database achieve higher frame rates in this title. This is partly a function of resolution: at 1080p, the combo delivers excellent results, with 226.4 FPS on Low and 133.8 FPS on High. However, the database likely includes many higher-end GPU pairings that push well beyond these numbers. The rank reflects the mid-range positioning of both parts.

At 1440p, the combo remains competitive, with 96.6 FPS on High and 64.1 FPS on Ultra. These are playable frame rates for a sports game. At 4K, the Ultra preset's 39.9 FPS is a clear sign of limitation, and even High at 65.5 FPS is borderline for smooth motion. The data shows that this combo is best suited to 1080p and 1440p gaming, with diminishing returns at 4K.

The rank relative to the combo's component percentiles suggests that Undisputed is not particularly CPU-sensitive. The i5-12400's 77th percentile CPU standing is wasted at higher resolutions where the GPU dominates. Conversely, the GPU's 71st percentile is the limiting factor at 4K, as evidenced by the sharp drop from 105.4 FPS on Low to 39.9 FPS on Ultra at 3840x2160.

Settings Recommendations

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 87.2 FPS, which is smooth for most displays. The High preset at 133.8 FPS provides additional headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors, while Medium at 166.2 FPS and Low at 226.4 FPS exceed the refresh rates of all but the fastest gaming panels. For 1080p users, Ultra is the recommended choice because it maintains a comfortable frame rate while maximizing visual quality.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset drops to 64.1 FPS, which is acceptable for a sports title but not ideal for fast action. The High preset at 96.6 FPS offers a better balance, retaining most visual fidelity while keeping frame rates well above 60. Medium at 122 FPS is a strong option for those prioritizing smoothness, and Low at 166.1 FPS is reserved for competitive play. The recommendation is High for 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. The Ultra preset's 39.9 FPS is below the playability threshold for a sports game, and even High at 65.5 FPS is marginal. Medium at 73.4 FPS is the most viable setting for 4K, providing a playable experience without the severe compromises of Low, which still yields 105.4 FPS. For 4K owners, Medium is the recommended preset, as it balances the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth against the demands of the resolution.

Across all resolutions, the Low preset consistently delivers the highest frame rates, but the visual cost is substantial for a sports title where player models and arena details matter. The measured data shows that the RX 6600 XT handles Medium and High presets well up to 1440p, with Ultra being viable only at 1080p. The 39.9 FPS at 4K Ultra is a clear outlier, suggesting that this combination is not intended for maximum settings at that resolution. Users with 4K displays should prioritize Medium to maintain smooth gameplay, while 1080p and 1440p users can safely select Ultra or High, respectively.
