Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-12600KF paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT delivers a dominant performance profile in Undisputed, with benchmark results indicating the combination is heavily GPU-limited at higher resolutions but exceptionally capable of high refresh rates at 1080p. The data shows a clear hierarchy where settings and resolution dictates whether this combo pushes well beyond 200 FPS or struggles to maintain a locked 60 FPS at 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. In Undisputed, a sports title that is not typically thread-hungry, this CPU provides substantial headroom. The measured results across all resolutions and settings reveal that the processor is rarely the limiting factor; the FPS scaling from Low to Ultra settings at any given resolution follows the GPU's workload curve almost exactly, which indicates the CPU can feed frames without bottlenecking.

Benchmark data reinforces this. The processor’s Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,444 and single-core score of 3,309 place it in the 84th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-10900K, shows a deltaPct of 0, meaning the i5-12600KF statistically matches it in average benchmark score (27,827 vs. 27,829). In practical gaming terms for Undisputed, the 16 threads and high boost clock ensure that even the lowest 1080p Low preset, which hits 287.9 FPS, is not artificially capped by CPU limitations. The processor's 20 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel memory support (DDR4 and DDR5) provide ample bandwidth for the GPU to operate at full potential. The data suggests that in this configuration, the CPU is a silent partner, enabling the GPU to be the sole determinant of performance across the board.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the performance driver in this pairing. With 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus delivering 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, the GPU has the resources to handle Undisputed’s textures and effects without memory capacity constraints. Its boost clock of 2600 MHz and game clock of 2495 MHz, paired with 2560 shading units, produce a measured FP32 throughput of 13.31 TFLOPS. This positions the GPU in the 79th percentile among all GPUs, with its nearest rival being the AMD Radeon RX 5600M, which shows a deltaPct of 0.2, indicating the RX 6750 XT is statistically comparable to that mobile part in average score.

The GPU's role is clearly visible in the FPS scaling. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 287.9 FPS, but dropping to 4K Ultra yields only 51.7 FPS. This 5.5x reduction in frame rate corresponds to the increase in pixel count and graphical load, demonstrating that the RX 6750 XT is the bottleneck at higher settings. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for 4K High settings (76.9 FPS), but the Ultra preset at 4K appears to push the GPU's compute limits rather than memory, as the performance cliff from High to Ultra is steep (76.9 to 51.7 FPS). The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 20,700 confirms its position as a strong mid-to-high-range part, but not one that can brute-force max settings at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo starts at 287.9 FPS on Low, drops to 205.6 FPS on Medium, 172.2 FPS on High, and bottoms out at 109.8 FPS on Ultra. This indicates a smooth, predictable scaling curve where each preset step costs roughly 30-40 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers shift downward significantly. Low settings produce 206.7 FPS, Medium drops to 148.4 FPS, High to 125.3 FPS, and Ultra to 80.5 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 1440p (23.1 FPS) is narrower than at 1080p (33.4 FPS), suggesting the GPU is beginning to feel the resolution load.

At 3840x2160, the curve steepens. Low settings yield 129.6 FPS, Medium drops to 97 FPS, High to 76.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that dips below 60 FPS, representing the worst-case scenario for this hardware. The data shows a clear pattern: this combo is a 1080p/1440p powerhouse, with 4K viability only at Medium or High settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component clearly. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p (287.9 FPS) to 1440p (206.7 FPS) is a 28.2% reduction, and then to 4K (129.6 FPS) is an additional 37.3% reduction. This is a classic GPU-bound signature, as the CPU's load remains constant while the GPU's pixel output quadruples.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is even more pronounced: 1080p yields 109.8 FPS, 1440p drops to 80.5 FPS (26.7% reduction), and 4K falls to 51.7 FPS (35.8% reduction from 1440p). The fact that the frame rate halves from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra (109.8 to 51.7) indicates the GPU is being overwhelmed by the 4x pixel count combined with maxed-out effects. The resolution scaling data confirms that the RX 6750 XT's 13.31 TFLOPS of compute power is the primary constraint, while the i5-12600KF's 16 threads remain underutilized. For players targeting 4K, dropping to Medium settings (97 FPS) recovers most of the performance lost at Ultra, demonstrating that the GPU's memory bandwidth (432.0 GB/s) is sufficient, but its shading units are not for max settings.

Settings Recommendations

The best experience per the measured rows is the High preset at 2560x1440, which delivers 125.3 FPS. This strikes an optimal balance between visual fidelity and frame rate, providing a smooth, responsive experience for a sports title where timing matters. At 1080p, High settings (172.2 FPS) are the recommended choice for competitive play, as they offer a significant visual upgrade over Medium (205.6 FPS) while still maintaining a frame rate far above the refresh rate of most monitors.

For 4K users, the Medium preset is the sweet spot, yielding 97 FPS. While High (76.9 FPS) is playable, the 20.1 FPS gain from dropping to Medium is substantial and does not visibly compromise the gameplay experience. The Ultra preset should be avoided at all resolutions except 1080p, where it still achieves 109.8 FPS. At 1440p Ultra (80.5 FPS) and 4K Ultra (51.7 FPS), the visual gains do not justify the performance cost, as the measured data shows these presets push the GPU beyond its comfortable operating range. The data suggests that the High preset is the default recommendation, with Medium as the fallback for higher resolutions.
