*Q: Is this combo more CPU-limited or GPU-limited in Undisputed?*

A: The data indicates the system is heavily GPU-limited at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 84 FPS, while at 1080p Low it reaches 479 FPS. The CPU (which scores 22604 in Cinebench R23 multicore) has sufficient headroom; the RTX 4080's workload scales with resolution, showing a 36% drop from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra.

Q: What is the 4K performance like for this game?

A: At 3840x2160, the combo delivers 84 FPS on Ultra, 130 FPS on High, 158 FPS on Medium, and 219 FPS on Low. The Ultra preset is the only one that dips below 100 FPS, but it remains perfectly playable. The Medium preset provides a strong balance with 158 FPS average and a minimum of 134 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this pairing, featuring 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock of 2505 MHz and 9728 shading units provide substantial raw compute power, reflected in its 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 performance. For Undisputed, a sports title that doesn't appear to stress VRAM heavily, the 16 GB capacity is more than sufficient; the game's performance scales primarily with the GPU's rendering throughput rather than memory capacity.

The GPU's architecture (Ada Lovelace, 5 nm process) includes 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores, though the measured FPS data suggests the game doesn't heavily utilize ray tracing features. The 320 W TDP and triple-slot cooler indicate a high-power design, but the performance payoff is evident in the frame rates. At 1080p Low, the RTX 4080 pushes 479 FPS average, which suggests the GPU is not fully saturated; the CPU or game engine may be imposing a soft cap. Conversely, at 4K Ultra, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as the average drops to 84 FPS, a 65% reduction from the 1080p Low result.

The RTX 4080's benchmark scores place it at the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with a PassMark G3D score of 34457. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, is essentially identical in performance (0.1% delta), meaning users would see no practical difference in Undisputed. The GPU's memory clock of 1400 MHz (22.4 Gbps effective) and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are more than adequate for the game's visual data, and the 48.74 TFLOPS FP32 rate ensures vertex and pixel processing never becomes a bottleneck at the tested settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 achieves a rank of 246 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the system in the 93.4th percentile, meaning it outperforms 93.4% of all other configurations tested. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing: the CPU's performance percentile is 77 (vs. all CPUs), while the GPU sits at the 86th percentile (vs. all GPUs). The higher GPU percentile suggests the RTX 4080 contributes more to the game's performance than the CPU.

Examining the CPU's nearest rivals provides context. The i5-13400F's average benchmark score of 25292 is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (25284), Intel Core 5 120 (25362), AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (25365), and AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (25201). These deltas range from -0.3% to 0.4%, indicating that swapping among these CPUs would yield virtually identical FPS in Undisputed. The game appears to be more sensitive to GPU performance, as evidenced by the wide FPS swings across settings.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080's score of 54247 is within 1% of its closest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER (54209). The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54828) is 1.1% higher, while the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698) and Radeon 8060S (55757) are 2.6% and 2.7% higher, respectively. These differences are small enough to be considered noise in real-world gaming. The combo's rank is primarily driven by the GPU's strong 86th percentile standing, combined with a CPU that avoids bottlenecking at most settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 479 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the dataset. Medium settings yield 345 FPS average, with a minimum of 293 FPS and a maximum of 396 FPS. High settings drop to 285 FPS average, while Ultra maintains a strong 184 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra is 295 FPS (a 61.5% reduction), showing that the game's visual effects have a significant impact even at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains high but scales down predictably. Low settings deliver 346 FPS average, Medium produces 249 FPS (with a minimum of 212 and maximum of 286), High achieves 206 FPS, and Ultra settles at 133 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each preset is roughly 28-30%, which is consistent with the increased pixel count. The Ultra preset at 1440p still exceeds 120 FPS, making it viable for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its workload. Low settings still deliver 219 FPS average, which is impressive for 4K. Medium produces 158 FPS (minimum 134, maximum 181), High drops to 130 FPS, and Ultra falls to 84 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration in the dataset that dips below 100 FPS, but 84 FPS remains above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 4K offers a notably better experience with 158 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 4K displays.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the system's components interact under increasing load. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 479 (1080p) to 346 (1440p) to 219 (4K). This represents a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 37% drop from 1440p to 4K. The total reduction from 1080p to 4K is 54%. At Medium settings, the progression is 345 → 249 → 158, with drops of 28% and 37% respectively, totaling 54% from 1080p to 4K.

At High settings, the pattern shifts: 285 → 206 → 130, representing drops of 28% and 37%, again totaling 54%. However, at Ultra settings, the scaling steepens: 184 → 133 → 84, with drops of 28% and 37%, but the total reduction is 54% as well. This consistent scaling pattern (approximately 28% per resolution step) indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at all settings. If the CPU were limiting, the FPS would show smaller percentage drops at lower resolutions where the CPU has more work relative to the GPU.

The data suggests the i5-13400F has ample headroom. At 1080p Low, the 479 FPS average is likely near the game engine's or CPU's maximum throughput, but the scaling shows the GPU becomes the constraint as resolution increases. The RTX 4080's 16 GB VRAM and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle 4K textures without stuttering, as evidenced by the smooth scaling. The Ultra preset at 4K (84 FPS) represents the system's most demanding scenario, and the 54% total drop from 1080p aligns with the 4x pixel count increase, confirming GPU-bound behavior.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 184 FPS is the clear recommendation. This provides the best visual quality while still delivering frame rates that exceed most 1440p and even some 4K monitors' refresh rates. The High preset at 285 FPS offers diminishing returns in visual fidelity, but the 101 FPS difference may matter for 240Hz or 360Hz esports displays. For competitive play, Low settings at 479 FPS would minimize input lag, though the visual downgrade is substantial.

For 1440p displays, the High preset at 206 FPS is the optimal balance. It provides 74 FPS more than Ultra (133 FPS) while maintaining high visual quality. The Medium preset at 249 FPS is also viable for 240Hz displays, but the jump from Medium to High is modest (43 FPS) compared to the visual improvement. The Ultra preset at 133 FPS remains above 120 FPS, making it suitable for 144Hz monitors if visual fidelity is the priority.

For 4K displays, the Medium preset at 158 FPS is the standout choice. It delivers 74 FPS more than High (130 FPS) and 74 FPS more than Ultra (84 FPS), while the visual difference between Medium and High is less pronounced than the FPS gain. The Low preset at 219 FPS is unnecessary for most 4K displays (which typically max out at 144Hz), but it could be used for future high-refresh 4K monitors. The Ultra preset at 84 FPS is playable but leaves performance on the table; given that Medium provides nearly double the frame rate, there is little reason to choose Ultra unless absolute maximum visual quality is required.

Across all resolutions, the data indicates that the Medium and High presets offer the best FPS-to-visual-quality trade-offs. The Ultra preset consistently costs 35-50% performance compared to High, which is a steep price for incremental visual gains. The Low preset provides maximum FPS but should only be used for competitive advantage. For this particular combo, the GPU is strong enough that Medium or High at any resolution provides a smooth, responsive experience.
