Undisputed

# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti ranks #1326 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 36% of all configurations evaluated. This is a solid mid-to-upper tier result, indicating the pairing delivers competitive performance without reaching the extreme high end of the database. The combo’s percentile standing reflects a balanced system where neither component severely bottlenecks the other in this boxing title.

Breaking down the individual components, the CPU sits at the 77th percentile among all processors tested, while the GPU lands at the 75th percentile among all graphics cards. This near-identical percentile placement suggests excellent synergy: both parts are performing at roughly the same relative tier within their respective categories. When a CPU and GPU are this closely matched in percentile terms, the system tends to deliver predictable frame rates without one component artificially capping the other’s potential. Benchmark results confirm this balance — the combo delivers consistently high frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, with the weakest result still clearing 57 FPS at 4K Ultra.

The rank of 1326 out of 3718 combos means roughly 64% of tested configurations outperform this pairing, but that figure is skewed by the inclusion of far more expensive, higher-end systems. Within its own performance class, the data shows this combo punches at or above its expected weight class.

# CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel’s 10 nm process node. It runs at a 2.50 GHz base clock and boosts up to 4.60 GHz, with a 65W TDP that keeps thermals manageable for a wide range of cooling solutions. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 20 MB shared L3, providing ample fast memory for game data that benefits from repeated access.

For Undisputed, a sports title with real-time physics and AI opponent logic, the CPU’s multi-threaded capabilities matter more than raw single-core speed. The 16 threads handle background simulation tasks, while the 10 cores distribute the workload efficiently. Synthetic benchmarks reinforce this: the CPU scores 22,604 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3,191 in single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 11,068 and single-core of 1,996. The 3DMark results show a scaling pattern from 1,880 (2 threads) to 7,314 (16 threads) and 7,307 (max threads) — indicating near-linear scaling up to 8 threads, then a plateau. This means the CPU fully utilizes its core count in multi-threaded workloads but doesn’t gain much beyond 8 threads for most gaming scenarios.

Compared to its nearest rivals in the database, the i5-13400F’s average benchmark score of 25,292 sits within a tight cluster: it is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25,284, 0% delta), trails the Intel Core 5 120 (25,362, -0.3%) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25,365, -0.3%) by negligible margins, and edges out the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25,201, +0.4%). These sub-1% differences mean the CPU is not a differentiating factor — any of these processors would deliver virtually identical frame rates in Undisputed. The practical takeaway: the i5-13400F provides more than enough compute headroom for this game, and the GPU becomes the primary performance driver.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture using Samsung’s 8 nm process, featuring the GA104 chip with 17,400 million transistors on a 392 mm² die. It operates at a 1575 MHz base clock and 1770 MHz boost clock, with memory running at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The card packs 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth — a figure that proves critical at higher resolutions where texture data demands grow.

The GPU’s compute configuration includes 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 48 RT cores, and 192 tensor cores, delivering 21.75 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. Pixel fill rate stands at 169.9 GPixel/s, and texture rate at 339.8 GTexel/s. These specs position the 3070 Ti as a high-end card from the GeForce 30-series, and the benchmark data confirms its standing: the GPU sits at the 75th percentile among all tested graphics cards.

In the rival comparison, the RTX 3070 Ti’s average benchmark score of 29,945 is remarkably close to its neighbors. It is 0.1% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (29,928), 0.5% ahead of the RTX 2080 Ti (29,783), but trails the AMD Radeon RX 6800 (30,095, -0.5%) and Radeon RX 6700 (30,433, -1.6%). The spread is tight — less than 2% separates all five cards — meaning in-game performance differences between these GPUs would be minor, often within run-to-run variance.

For Undisputed specifically, the 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient at all tested settings, even 4K Ultra. The game is not VRAM-hungry based on the measured results, and the high memory bandwidth ensures smooth texture streaming during gameplay. The 3070 Ti’s balanced compute-to-memory ratio makes it well-suited to a title like this that demands consistent frame delivery rather than extreme peak throughput.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data covers three resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4K) across four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), with average, minimum, and maximum frame rates recorded for Medium at each resolution.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 323 FPS average — an exceptionally high ceiling that exceeds most 144Hz monitors’ refresh rates.
• Medium: 233 FPS average, with a minimum of 198 FPS and maximum of 268 FPS. The 35 FPS variance between min and max suggests some scene complexity swings, but the floor remains above 200 FPS.
• High: 193 FPS average — still far above competitive thresholds.
• Ultra: 124 FPS average — the first setting where the frame rate drops below 144 FPS, but still comfortably smooth.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 234 FPS average — nearly identical to 1080p Medium, showing the GPU has ample headroom at this resolution.
• Medium: 168 FPS average, with a minimum of 143 FPS and maximum of 193 FPS. The 50 FPS spread indicates more pronounced scene-dependent fluctuations.
• High: 139 FPS average — right at the 144Hz sweet spot, making this an excellent choice for high-refresh 1440p monitors.
• Ultra: 90 FPS average — still very playable, suitable for 90Hz+ displays.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 148 FPS average — surprisingly high for 4K, indicating the game is well-optimized at lower settings.
• Medium: 106 FPS average, with a minimum of 90 FPS and maximum of 122 FPS. The 32 FPS range is the tightest of any medium preset across resolutions, suggesting consistent performance.
• High: 88 FPS average — a very playable 4K experience, though not hitting 120 FPS.
• Ultra: 57 FPS average — the most demanding configuration, dipping below 60 FPS but still within the range of adaptive-sync monitors.

The scaling pattern across resolutions is linear and predictable: dropping from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 25-30%, and from 1440p to 4K another 35-40%. This consistent scaling indicates neither the CPU nor GPU introduces unexpected bottlenecks at any tested configuration.

# Settings Recommendations

The optimal settings preset depends on the target display and desired frame rate consistency. Benchmark data provides clear guidance for each resolution class.

For 1080p displays (1920x1080): The Ultra preset at 124 FPS average is sufficient for most monitors, but if the display supports 144Hz or higher, the Medium preset at 233 FPS average (min 198 FPS) is the best choice. The gap between High (193 FPS) and Medium (233 FPS) represents a 40 FPS improvement with only a modest visual downgrade. For competitive play where maximum frame rates matter, Low settings at 323 FPS far exceed any display’s refresh capabilities, but Medium provides the best balance of visual quality and headroom above 200 FPS.

For 1440p displays (2560x1440): The High preset at 139 FPS average is the sweet spot for 144Hz monitors, as it sits just below the refresh ceiling while maintaining substantial visual fidelity. For those with 165Hz or 240Hz displays, the Medium preset at 168 FPS average (min 143 FPS) ensures the frame rate never dips below the 144Hz threshold, making it the most reliable choice for high-refresh gaming. The Ultra preset at 90 FPS is acceptable for 90Hz or 100Hz displays, but the 49 FPS drop from High to Ultra is significant for marginal visual gains.

For 4K displays (3840x2160): The High preset at 88 FPS average is the recommended choice, as it clears 60 FPS with a 28 FPS buffer for scene complexity spikes. The Medium preset at 106 FPS average (min 90 FPS) is superior for 120Hz-capable 4K displays, providing a comfortable margin above 90 FPS at all times. Ultra at 57 FPS is only suitable for 60Hz displays and leaves no headroom, making it the least desirable option despite offering the best visuals. The Low preset at 148 FPS is overkill for most 4K displays and sacrifices too much visual quality.

Overall verdict: The Medium preset across all resolutions provides the most consistent frame delivery, with the narrowest min-to-max spreads (35 FPS at 1080p, 50 FPS at 1440p, 32 FPS at 4K). This consistency is more valuable than peak frame rates, as it prevents stutter and judder during intense gameplay moments. For the best experience balancing quality and performance, select Medium at 1080p or 1440p, and High at 4K unless the display supports 120Hz, in which case Medium is preferable.
