# Undisputed with Intel Core i5-12600KF + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

This combination of the Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, ranking first out of 2,813 tested combinations. The data reveals a system capable of extreme frame rates across all resolutions, with the GPU clearly dominating the performance profile. The measured results show this pairing produces average FPS figures that range from 101 at 4K Ultra to 578 at 1080p Low, indicating a wide performance envelope that adapts well to different visual priorities.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for Undisputed reveals distinct performance tiers across the four settings presets. At 4K resolution, the High preset delivers 157 FPS average, while the Medium preset achieves 190 FPS with a minimum of 162 FPS and maximum of 219 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 101 FPS, which remains playable but represents a significant 56% reduction from High. The Low preset reaches 264 FPS, showing that the game scales well with settings adjustments.

For the best experience per the measured rows, the Medium preset at 4K appears optimal. It provides 190 FPS average, which is 33 FPS higher than High, while maintaining a minimum of 162 FPS that ensures smooth gameplay. The frame time consistency visible in the Medium preset's min-max range (162-219 FPS) suggests stable performance. At 1440p, High delivers 249 FPS and Medium reaches 301 FPS (minimum 256, maximum 346), making Medium the recommended choice for high refresh rate displays. At 1080p, High produces 344 FPS, while Medium achieves 416 FPS (minimum 354, maximum 478), again favoring Medium for competitive play.

The Ultra preset, while visually demanding, yields 101 FPS at 4K, 160 FPS at 1440p, and 222 FPS at 1080p. These figures remain playable, but the performance cost relative to High is substantial. The data suggests that High or Medium presets offer the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, with Medium providing the highest consistent performance in each resolution category.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, featuring 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus with 1.79 TB/s bandwidth. The GPU's memory configuration is exceptionally large for a sports title like Undisputed, suggesting headroom for future titles or high-resolution texture packs. The base clock runs at 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and the memory operates at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective).

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (avg score 76,904, delta 1.1%), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (avg score 78,940, delta -1.6%), and NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants with scores around 79,396-79,605, showing deltas of -2.1% to -2.4%. This indicates the RTX 5090 D sits in a competitive performance band, though these rival comparisons are from synthetic benchmarks rather than game-specific tests.

In Undisputed specifically, the GPU's capabilities translate to frame rates that far exceed display refresh rate requirements. The 4K High result of 157 FPS and 1440p High result of 249 FPS demonstrate that the RTX 5090 D handles this game's rendering demands with substantial overhead. The GPU's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate provide the computational foundation for these results.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals important information about system bottlenecks. At High settings, the frame rate drops from 344 FPS at 1080p to 249 FPS at 1440p (a 27.6% decrease) and then to 157 FPS at 4K (a 54.4% decrease from 1080p). This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly load-bound as resolution increases, which is expected given the rendering pipeline.

The Low settings show even more dramatic scaling: 578 FPS at 1080p, 418 FPS at 1440p, and 264 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops here are 27.7% from 1080p to 1440p and 54.3% from 1080p to 4K, nearly identical to the High preset scaling. This consistency suggests that resolution scaling is primarily GPU-limited across all settings, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom even at lower resolutions.

Medium settings follow the same pattern with 416 FPS at 1080p, 301 FPS at 1440p, and 190 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset produces 222 FPS at 1080p, 160 FPS at 1440p, and 101 FPS at 4K. The fact that even at 1080p Ultra the system maintains 222 FPS indicates that the CPU is not becoming a limiting factor in these tests. The data implies that the RTX 5090 D is the primary performance driver across all resolution and settings combinations, with the Core i5-12600KF providing ample support.

How This Combo Ranks

This configuration achieves the top position in Undisputed's combo ranking, sitting at rank 1 out of 2,813 tested combinations. This top-tier placement reflects the exceptional performance delivered by pairing a high-end GPU with a capable 10-core processor. The ranking indicates that no other tested combination of CPU and GPU produces higher frame rates in this game.

The CPU's individual performance metrics provide context for this ranking. The Core i5-12600KF sits in the 79th percentile among all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 27,799. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-10900K (avg score 27,872, delta -0.3%), AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE (avg score 27,712, delta 0.3%), AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (avg score 27,887, delta -0.3%), and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (avg score 27,896, delta -0.3%). These small deltas indicate the CPU performs competitively with these alternatives.

The GPU's 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, combined with the CPU's 79th percentile, creates a pairing where the GPU clearly leads performance. In Undisputed, this translates to a system that can push frame rates well beyond what most displays can show, making the rank 1 position a reflection of the GPU's dominance in this specific workload.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-12600KF brings 10 cores and 16 threads to this pairing, operating at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosting to 4.90 GHz. This Alder Lake architecture processor features 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, though the specific memory type used in testing is not specified in the data.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23,391 and a single-core score of 3,302. The Geekbench multicore score of 12,137 and single-core score of 2,157 further demonstrate balanced processing capability. The 3DMark results show scaling from 1,016 (single thread) to 7,956 (16 threads), with the max thread score of 7,952 nearly matching the 16-thread result.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU. The frame rates achieved at 1080p Low (578 FPS) and 1080p Medium (416 FPS) suggest the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently even at very high frame rates. The 10-core, 16-thread configuration provides ample parallelism for game logic and physics, while the 4.90 GHz boost clock ensures responsive single-threaded performance. The CPU's power envelope of 125 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility make it a straightforward pairing with this GPU class.
