Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-12400 and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination delivers a highly playable experience in Undisputed, with benchmark results showing a clear progression from 44 FPS at 4K Ultra to 252 FPS at 1080p Low. This pairing ranks 1633rd out of 2813 tested combinations for this title, placing it in the upper-middle tier of systems evaluated. The data indicates a balanced setup where both components contribute meaningfully, though the scaling patterns reveal distinct bottlenecks depending on resolution and quality settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows that resolution has a substantial impact on performance, with average frame rates dropping by roughly 55% when moving from 1080p to 4K at the same quality preset. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 150 at 1920x1080 to 108 at 2560x1440, then to 69 at 3840x2160. This represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a further 36% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling pattern suggests that the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as pixel count rises, which is expected for a sports title with modern rendering demands.

The Low preset shows even more dramatic scaling, with average FPS dropping from 252 at 1080p to 182 at 1440p and 115 at 4K. That is a 54% decline from 1080p to 4K, indicating that even at minimal graphical load, the rendering resolution heavily taxes the Radeon RX 9060. The Medium preset follows a similar trajectory, going from 181 FPS at 1080p to 131 FPS at 1440p and 83 FPS at 4K, with the 4K result falling to 70 FPS at the minimum end.

Ultra settings present the steepest curve, with average FPS dropping from 97 at 1080p to 70 at 1440p and 44 at 4K. The 4K Ultra figure is the only measured point below 60 FPS, suggesting that this resolution and quality combination pushes the hardware to its limits. The delta between 1080p and 1440p Ultra is 27 FPS, while the delta between 1440p and 4K Ultra is 26 FPS, showing nearly linear scaling with pixel count at the highest quality setting.

These results indicate that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the high frame rates across all presets suggest the CPU can feed the GPU adequately, with the Radeon RX 9060 becoming the primary constraint as resolution increases. The 4K Ultra result of 44 FPS points to GPU-bound rendering, as the Core i5-12400’s six cores and twelve threads provide enough throughput to avoid stalling the graphics pipeline at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with a Navi 44 chip manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1700 MHz, a game clock of 2400 MHz, and a boost clock of 2990 MHz, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). These specifications place it in a competitive position, as its average benchmark score of 16014 ranks it at the 59th percentile against all GPUs.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a notable factor for Undisputed at higher resolutions. The measured results show that 4K Ultra averages 44 FPS, while 4K High averages 69 FPS, suggesting that the memory capacity and bandwidth are sufficient for the game’s textures and geometry at these settings. The 128-bit bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth appear adequate, as frame rates do not collapse entirely at 4K, but the Ultra preset’s 44 FPS average indicates the GPU’s compute resources are the limiting factor rather than memory throughput.

The GPU’s shading units total 1792, with 112 texture mapping units and 64 render output units. The pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s support the observed scaling, where higher resolutions demand more pixel throughput. The FP32 performance of 21.43 TFLOPS provides the raw compute power needed for the physics and animation systems in a boxing game, which is reflected in the consistent frame rates across medium and high presets.

The Radeon RX 9060’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which scores 16129 on average (0.7% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 7700, which scores 15852 (1% lower). This proximity in synthetic benchmarks translates to real-world performance that is competitive with these cards, though the measured FPS in Undisputed shows the RX 9060 handling 1440p High at 108 FPS and 1080p High at 150 FPS, which are strong results for a mid-range GPU.
