Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination occupies the 904th position out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it squarely in the upper-middle tier of the database. This rank is a direct reflection of the hardware's measured capabilities: the combo delivers a strong baseline for high-refresh gameplay, but it does not crack the top tier, where more expensive pairings dominate. The 82nd percentile standing of the CPU and the 66th percentile of the GPU among all components suggest a balanced pairing, though the data reveals that the graphics card is the more likely bottleneck at higher settings. For a sports title like Undisputed, where fluid animations and responsive input are critical, this rank indicates the system is more than adequate for mainstream competitive play, but it will require some settings discipline to maintain maximum frame rates in the most demanding visual modes.

How This Combo Ranks

The 904th rank out of 1,580 combos places this pairing in the 57th percentile of all tested systems for Undisputed. This is not a top-tier configuration, but it is far from a weak one. The score indicates that roughly 57% of tested combos deliver higher average frame rates, while 43% deliver lower results. The data shows a system that is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with the ability to push high frame rates at those resolutions. However, the ranking also highlights that the RTX 4060 is the limiting factor when compared to the CPU's relative strength. The i5-13400F holds an 82nd percentile rank among all CPUs, while the RTX 4060 sits at a 66th percentile among all GPUs. This disparity suggests that in many scenarios, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU's single-thread performance matters more, the GPU will be the primary constraint. The combo's rank is a practical result of this balance: it outperforms many last-generation pairings but falls behind modern high-end configurations that pair stronger GPUs with similar CPUs.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data across the four quality presets provides a clear guide for optimizing the experience. At 1080p, the High preset delivers an average of 161.9 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most standard monitors. Pushing to Ultra drops this to 106.5 FPS, still playable, but the reduction of 55.4 FPS for the visual upgrade may not be worth it in a fast-paced sports game. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 193 FPS, a significant jump from High, suggesting that the High preset includes some costly effects that do not proportionally improve the experience. The optimal balance for most users is the High preset at 1080p or 1440p. At 1440p, High delivers 119 FPS, which is excellent for a smooth competitive experience, while Ultra drops to 77.6 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS but introduces a noticeable dip in fluidity. The data indicates that choosing High over Ultra is the most sensible approach, as it maintains high frame rates without a substantial visual penalty. For users with 144Hz or 165Hz monitors, the Medium preset at 1080p offers the best chance of hitting those refresh rates consistently, with 193 FPS providing enough headroom to avoid dips.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that is heavily GPU-limited at higher resolutions. At the High preset, the average FPS drops from 161.9 at 1080p to 119 at 1440p, a 26.5% reduction. Moving to 4K at the same preset, the average further drops to 73.1 FPS, a 38.6% reduction from the 1440p figure. This steep decline is characteristic of a GPU with a 128-bit memory bus and 8 GB of VRAM, which struggles to maintain throughput as pixel count increases. The trend is even more pronounced at the Ultra preset: 106.5 FPS at 1080p falls to 77.6 FPS at 1440p and then plummets to 48.6 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this setting is not viable for a smooth experience. The data suggests that the RTX 4060 is the limiting component at 1440p and 4K, as the CPU has ample headroom. At 1080p, the scaling is less severe, with the Low preset reaching 274.1 FPS, which shows the CPU can push frames when the GPU is not saturated. The bottleneck clearly shifts from CPU-bound at 1080p Low to GPU-bound at 4K Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo shows its strongest performance. The Low preset achieves an average of 274.1 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates a CPU-bound scenario where the i5-13400F's 16 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU. The Medium preset yields 193 FPS, and High drops to 161.9 FPS. Ultra is the most demanding, with 106.5 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 31.1 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 55.4 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset introduces disproportionately heavy effects. At 1440p, the numbers scale down predictably. Low produces 197.1 FPS, Medium 140.2 FPS, High 119 FPS, and Ultra 77.6 FPS. The 1440p High result is particularly notable, as it remains above the 100 FPS mark, making it suitable for high-refresh displays. At 4K, the performance drops significantly. Low yields 122.7 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium falls to 92.5 FPS, High to 73.1 FPS, and Ultra to a sub-60 FPS 48.6 FPS. The 4K data clearly shows that the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for high-fidelity 4K gaming in this title. The measured results indicate that the optimal experience is found at 1440p High, which balances visual quality with frame rate, or at 1080p High for maximum smoothness.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is the defining component in this combo's performance profile. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s, which is a moderate figure for this class. The data shows that this bandwidth is a limiting factor at 4K, where the frame rates drop sharply compared to 1440p. The GPU's 3,072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units are arranged in a configuration that delivers solid 1080p and 1440p performance. The boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz allow the card to maintain high throughput in less demanding scenes. The RTX 4060's average benchmark score of 23,181 places it in the 66th percentile, which is lower than the CPU's standing. This is reflected in the game's measured results, where the GPU becomes the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The card's 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is sufficient for this sports title, but the memory subsystem is the primary constraint. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for 1080p and 1440p at High settings, but the 4K Ultra result of 48.6 FPS suggests that the card is running out of both memory bandwidth and capacity, causing stutters and drops. The data indicates that the RTX 4060 is best utilized at 1440p High or 1080p Ultra, where its strengths are leveraged without exposing its weaknesses.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F provides the computational backbone for this combo. With 10 cores and 16 threads based on the Raptor Lake architecture, it offers strong multi-threaded performance for a mid-range desktop processor. The boost clock of 4.60 GHz and base clock of 2.50 GHz allow it to handle both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads effectively. Its benchmark scores are robust, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,279 and a single-core score of 3,004. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all processors is reflected in the game's performance at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 274.1 FPS, which is a clear indication that the CPU is not the limiting factor at that setting. Even at 1080p Ultra, the 106.5 FPS result shows that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output. The 20 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce latency in game logic, which is beneficial for a sports title with frequent player movement and physics calculations. The CPU's dual-channel memory support for DDR4 and DDR5 provides flexibility, though the measured performance does not differentiate between memory types. The data suggests that the i5-13400F is more than capable of feeding the RTX 4060 at all tested settings, as evidenced by the frame rate scaling. The CPU's performance is consistent across resolutions, with the 4K Low result of 122.7 FPS still being high, confirming that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. For this game, the CPU is a strong partner that does not hold back the GPU, making it a reliable choice for a balanced build.
