GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is the primary driver of Undisputed's frame rates, and its specifications explain the observed performance. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is substantial for a sports title, allowing the card to handle high-resolution textures without bottlenecking.

Clock speeds play a critical role in the measured results. The GPU's base clock is 1295 MHz, but it boosts to 2430 MHz, with a game clock of 2124 MHz. The significant gap between base and boost clocks suggests the card can aggressively ramp up performance under load, which is reflected in the high FPS numbers across all settings.

The 3840 shading units and 96 ROPs provide the raw compute power needed for Undisputed's rendering. The pixel rate of 233.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 583.2 GTexel/s indicate the card can handle the game's visual effects at high resolutions. The FP32 performance of 37.32 TFLOPS is particularly relevant for a physics-based sports game where character and object interactions require substantial floating-point calculations.

The GPU's 76th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32619, confirms it is a solid performer. Its nearest rival, the AMD FirePro S9300 X2, scores 32540, a 0.2% difference, showing the RX 7800 XT sits right at the edge of its performance tier. The 263 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU indicate this is a power-hungry component, but the data shows it delivers accordingly.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 593 out of 1580 tested combinations places it in the upper-middle tier of all configurations evaluated in Undisputed. This ranking is achieved with a CPU that sits in the 82nd percentile of all processors and a GPU in the 76th percentile, suggesting the pairing works well together for this specific title.

The CPU's performance metrics provide context for this ranking. The i5-13400F achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21279 and a single-core score of 3004. Its 3DMark single-thread score of 960 and max-thread score of 7307 indicate strong multi-threaded capability, which is beneficial for a sports game that must track multiple fighters, physics interactions, and crowd animations simultaneously.

Interestingly, the combo ranking is not in the top tier despite the strong individual component percentiles. This suggests that Undisputed may have specific optimization characteristics that favor certain hardware configurations. The 1080p Ultra result of 130.6 FPS and 4K Ultra of 57.4 FPS show the system is capable but not dominating, which aligns with its mid-tier ranking.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset offers the best experience. At 1080p, the Low preset achieves 336.7 FPS, which is excessive for most displays. The Medium preset at 244.5 FPS and High at 199.2 FPS both offer excellent frame rates, while Ultra at 130.6 FPS is still well above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1440p, the pattern continues with Low at 242.1 FPS, Medium at 174.5 FPS, High at 147.4 FPS, and Ultra at 92.7 FPS. The Ultra preset here remains playable and is arguably the best balance of visual quality and performance for high-refresh-rate monitors.

For 4K, the recommendations change dramatically. The Ultra preset at 57.4 FPS falls below the 60 FPS target, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The High preset at 90.8 FPS is the recommended choice for 4K, offering a solid frame rate while maintaining reasonable visual fidelity. Medium at 112 FPS and Low at 155.9 FPS are better for competitive play where frame rate is prioritized.

The data suggests that High settings provide the most consistent experience across all resolutions, never dropping below 90.8 FPS while delivering 199.2 FPS at 1080p and 147.4 FPS at 1440p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system shows its full potential. The Low preset delivers 336.7 FPS average, which drops to 244.5 FPS at Medium, 199.2 FPS at High, and 130.6 FPS at Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 61.3% reduction in frame rate, indicating the Ultra preset imposes a significant load on the GPU.

The 2560x1440 results follow a similar pattern with lower absolute numbers. Low achieves 242.1 FPS, Medium 174.5 FPS, High 147.4 FPS, and Ultra 92.7 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at High settings reduces performance by 26.0%, from 199.2 to 147.4 FPS, which is a moderate penalty for the resolution increase.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops are more pronounced. Low hits 155.9 FPS, Medium 112 FPS, High 90.8 FPS, and Ultra 57.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS, making it the single point where the system struggles to maintain smooth gameplay.

The performance gaps between settings widen at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between High and Ultra is 68.6 FPS (34.4% drop), while at 4K the same comparison shows a 33.4 FPS difference (36.8% drop). This indicates the GPU becomes more stressed at higher resolutions, as expected.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F provides the computational foundation for this combo. With 10 cores (likely 6 performance and 4 efficiency cores based on the 16 threads) and a base clock of 2.50 GHz boosting to 4.60 GHz, this CPU offers strong single-threaded performance that is crucial for game logic and physics calculations.

The CPU's benchmark results show its capability. The Geekbench single-core score of 2301 and multi-core score of 10971 demonstrate balanced performance. The Cinebench R20 scores of 1261 single-core and 8937 multi-core further confirm this, while the R15 scores of 302 single-core and 2144 multi-core provide additional reference points.

The 20 MB of shared L3 cache is significant for a sports game like Undisputed, which may need to repeatedly access fighter data, animation states, and collision information. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25236, places it slightly above its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-13620H, which scores 25201 (0.1% lower).

The 3DMark results are particularly telling. The single-thread score of 960 and 2-thread score of 1880 indicate strong single-core performance, while the 8-thread score of 5591 and max-thread score of 7307 show good scaling across cores. The 16-thread score of 7314 is nearly identical to the max-thread score, suggesting the CPU is fully utilized at 16 threads.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals how the system scales across resolutions. From 1080p to 1440p at High settings, performance drops from 199.2 to 147.4 FPS, a 26.0% reduction. From 1440p to 4K at High, it drops from 147.4 to 90.8 FPS, a 38.4% reduction. The combined 1080p to 4K drop is 54.4%, from 199.2 to 90.8 FPS.

This scaling pattern indicates the system is GPU-limited at higher resolutions. The percentage drops between resolutions increase as resolution rises, which is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios. At 1080p, the CPU may be providing more headroom, while at 4K the GPU's rendering capabilities become the primary constraint.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling. At 1080p, the system achieves 130.6 FPS, dropping to 92.7 FPS at 1440p (29.0% reduction) and 57.4 FPS at 4K (38.1% reduction from 1440p, 56.0% from 1080p). This steep decline at Ultra settings suggests the preset's visual effects, possibly including advanced lighting or shadow rendering, place an outsized demand on the GPU.

Interestingly, the Low preset shows the least relative scaling. From 1080p at 336.7 FPS to 1440p at 242.1 FPS is a 28.1% drop, and to 4K at 155.9 FPS is a 53.7% total reduction. This indicates that at Low settings, the system is closer to CPU-limited, as the GPU has less work to do and the frame rate is constrained by the CPU's ability to feed it data.
