Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, with the data showing that the most balanced experience is achieved at Medium settings across all tested resolutions. This combination ranks in the 85th percentile of all tested combos, placing it at rank 549 out of 3718 configurations, and the benchmark results indicate that users can prioritize visual fidelity without sacrificing competitive frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for this combo reveals a clear hierarchy in settings presets, with Medium offering the most compelling balance between visual quality and performance headroom. At 1920x1080, Medium settings produce an average of 314 FPS with a minimum of 267 FPS and a maximum of 361 FPS, which provides a substantial buffer above typical high-refresh-rate displays. The jump from Low to Medium costs roughly 123 FPS at 1080p (from 437 to 314), but the visual improvement in a sports title like Undisputed justifies this trade-off for most users.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset maintains an average of 227 FPS with a minimum of 193 FPS and a maximum of 261 FPS. This remains well above the threshold for smooth gameplay on 144Hz monitors, and the 39 FPS difference between Medium and High (227 vs 188) is a reasonable price for the additional graphical detail. The data suggests that 1440p Medium is the sweet spot for this combination, as it retains high frame rates while offering more visual richness than Low settings.

For 4K gaming at 3840x2160, Medium settings deliver an average of 144 FPS with a minimum of 122 FPS and a maximum of 165 FPS. This is particularly notable because it means even at 4K resolution, the combo can drive displays with 120Hz refresh rates without dipping below the minimum threshold. The High preset at 4K drops to 119 FPS average, which is still playable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes. Ultra settings at any resolution show significant performance degradation—77 FPS at 4K, 121 FPS at 1440p, and 167 FPS at 1080p—making them less suitable for competitive play.

The Low preset produces extraordinary frame rates—437 FPS at 1080p, 316 FPS at 1440p, and 200 FPS at 4K—but these numbers exceed the refresh rate capabilities of virtually all consumer displays, meaning the extra performance is wasted. Benchmark results indicate that Medium provides the best experience per the measured rows, as it maintains high averages while keeping minimums well above 120 FPS at every resolution tested.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications directly explain the measured performance. The GPU features 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, providing 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is more than sufficient for Undisputed at any resolution, and the data shows no evidence of memory capacity limiting performance even at 4K Ultra settings.

The GPU's clock behavior is particularly relevant to the benchmark results. The base clock runs at 1929 MHz, with a game clock of 2365 MHz and a boost clock of 2498 MHz. The measured FPS scaling across settings presets follows a pattern consistent with these clocks: as the GPU load increases with higher settings, the sustained clock rates determine the final output. The 77 FPS average at 4K Ultra versus 119 FPS at 4K High represents a 35% performance drop, which aligns with the increased shading and texture work required at Ultra.

The RX 7900 XTX's RDNA 3.0 architecture with 6144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, and 192 render output units provides the raw compute throughput needed for high frame rates. The pixel rate of 479.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 959.2 GTexel/s are directly relevant to how quickly the GPU can fill frames at 4K resolution. The FP32 performance of 61.39 TFLOPS gives this card substantial headroom for the physics and animation calculations common in sports games.

The GPU's 96 ray tracing cores are present but less relevant for Undisputed, which is primarily a rasterization-focused title based on the measured results. The 355 W TDP and dual-slot design indicate this is a high-power component, and the 750 W suggested PSU requirement reflects its electrical demands. The PCIe 4.0 x16 interface provides ample bandwidth for the 24 GB frame buffer, and the 5 nm process node from TSMC contributes to the efficiency that allows such high clock speeds.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F plays a supporting but essential role in this combo's performance. The CPU features 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This configuration provides substantial multi-threaded capability, as evidenced by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22604 and the 3DMark max threads score of 7307. The 20 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB per-core L2 cache help reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for the physics and AI calculations in Undisputed.

The CPU's single-threaded performance is equally important for this sports title. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3191 and the 3DMark single-thread score of 960 indicate strong per-core performance, which is critical for maintaining high frame rates in games that rely on a primary simulation thread. The boost clock of 4.60 GHz provides the high frequency needed for responsive gameplay, while the 65 W TDP keeps power consumption manageable.

The 10-core, 16-thread configuration (likely 6 performance cores and 4 efficiency cores based on the architecture) provides ample parallelism for background tasks and game engine threads. The PassMark multithread score of 25032 and the Geekbench multicore score of 11068 demonstrate the CPU's ability to handle concurrent workloads. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7314, which is nearly identical to the max threads score of 7307, indicates that the CPU's performance scales well with thread count up to its physical core limit.

The CPU's memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5, with dual-channel configuration, provides flexibility for system builders. The PCIe Gen 5 support with 16 lanes ensures the GPU has access to high-bandwidth connectivity, though the RX 7900 XTX uses PCIe 4.0 x16, which is fully compatible. The 10 nm process node from Intel and the Raptor Lake architecture contribute to the CPU's efficiency and performance characteristics.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to maintain consistent frame delivery by processing game logic, physics, and AI without becoming a bottleneck. The measured FPS data shows that the combo achieves high frame rates at all settings, indicating that the i5-13400F provides sufficient processing power to keep the RX 7900 XTX fully utilized. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25292, confirms that it is a capable partner for this high-end GPU.
