GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain why. Built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process at TSMC, the GPU packs 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units. The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves more than sufficient for Undisputed's texture-heavy ring environments and fighter models. The memory clock runs at 1438 MHz, translating to 23 Gbps effective, while the GPU core operates between a 2295 MHz base and 2550 MHz boost clock.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes evident in the scaling between settings presets. At 4K, moving from High (130 FPS average) to Ultra (83 FPS average) represents a 36% performance drop, while at 1440p the same settings transition sees a 36% reduction from 205 FPS to 132 FPS. This consistent scaling indicates the game is primarily GPU-limited at these resolutions. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 285.6 GPixel/s pixel rate provide the computational muscle needed to maintain high frame rates even with maximum detail.

The GPU's 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but less relevant for a sports title like Undisputed, which does not heavily leverage ray tracing or DLSS in the measured results. The 16 GB VRAM capacity ensures no memory-related stuttering at 4K Ultra, where the average frame rate of 83 FPS still represents a playable experience, though it falls short of the high-refresh-rate territory that the card easily achieves at lower settings. The GPU's benchmark percentile of 86 places it well above the median, and its nearest rival, the RTX 4080, shows a negligible -0.1% delta, confirming that the SUPER variant offers only a marginal synthetic improvement.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F provides the computational foundation for this combo, featuring 10 cores and 16 threads based on the Raptor Lake architecture. With a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, the processor operates within a 65 W TDP envelope. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 20 MB of shared L3 cache. This configuration supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory through a dual-channel interface, though the benchmark data does not specify which memory type was used in testing.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is less about raw frame rate generation and more about maintaining consistent frame pacing and handling the game's simulation logic. The measured data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 476 FPS average, which is a 40% increase over the 1080p Medium result of 343 FPS. This scaling suggests that at lower settings, the CPU can feed frames quickly enough to expose the GPU's full potential, but the game engine or driver overhead begins to limit performance at the highest frame rates.

The i5-13400F's benchmark results show strong multithreaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22,604 and a 3DMark max-threads score of 7,307. Single-thread performance is also respectable, with a Geekbench single-core score of 1,996 and a 3DMark single-thread score of 960. These figures indicate that the CPU can handle both the lightly threaded aspects of game logic and the more demanding physics calculations that boxing games require. The 77th percentile ranking against all CPUs, with a 0% delta to the Ryzen 9 6900HS and a -0.3% delta to the Core 5 120, confirms that this processor is a solid mid-range performer that does not bottleneck the RTX 4080 SUPER in most scenarios.

Low settings produce 476 FPS average, Medium produces 343 FPS (with a minimum of 291 FPS and maximum of 394 FPS), High produces 284 FPS, and Ultra produces 183 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is capable of driving even the fastest high-refresh-rate monitors well beyond their limits, with the gap between Low and Ultra representing a 62% performance difference.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results remain impressive but show the expected scaling. Low settings deliver 344 FPS average, Medium delivers 248 FPS (min 211 FPS, max 285 FPS), High delivers 205 FPS, and Ultra delivers 132 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a 28% performance drop at Low settings, a 28% drop at Medium, a 28% drop at High, and a 28% drop at Ultra. This consistent scaling suggests a well-balanced workload distribution between CPU and GPU at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance begins to show the GPU's limits. Low settings still achieve 218 FPS average, Medium achieves 157 FPS (min 133 FPS, max 180 FPS), High achieves 130 FPS, and Ultra drops to 83 FPS. The 4K to 1080p ratio shows a 54% reduction in frame rate at Low settings, a 54% reduction at Medium, a 54% reduction at High, and a 55% reduction at Ultra. This indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER scales predictably with resolution, with the 16 GB VRAM and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth proving sufficient to avoid any memory bandwidth bottlenecks.

The minimum FPS data is only available for Medium settings across all resolutions, providing a glimpse into frame pacing. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 133 FPS against an average of 157 FPS shows a 15% variance, while at 1440p Medium, the minimum of 211 FPS against an average of 248 FPS shows a 15% variance, and at 1080p Medium, the minimum of 291 FPS against an average of 343 FPS shows a 15% variance. This consistent variance suggests stable frame delivery without significant stuttering or dips.

Settings Recommendations

For players with high-refresh-rate monitors at 1440p, the High preset provides the best measured experience, delivering 205 FPS average with no minimum FPS data suggesting potential dips. This setting offers a substantial improvement over Ultra (132 FPS) while maintaining visual quality that should satisfy most players. The Medium preset at 1440p (248 FPS average, 211 FPS minimum) is the optimal choice for competitive play where maximum frame rates are prioritized, though the visual difference from High is worth considering.

At 4K, the High preset at 130 FPS average represents the best balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Ultra preset drops to 83 FPS average, which, while playable, falls below the 100 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 157 FPS average (133 FPS minimum) offers a safer margin for maintaining high frame rates, and players with 120 Hz or 144 Hz 4K displays may prefer this setting to ensure consistent performance.

For 1080p users, all presets deliver frame rates well above any typical display refresh rate. The Ultra preset at 183 FPS average is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality, as the GPU has ample headroom to maintain high performance. The data does not indicate any scenarios where lowering settings below High provides a necessary performance benefit at this resolution, given that even Ultra exceeds 180 FPS average.

The Medium preset across all resolutions shows the most complete data with minimum and maximum FPS values, indicating stable frame delivery. Based on the measured rows, players seeking the most consistent experience should consider Medium, while those prioritizing visual quality can confidently select High at any resolution. The Ultra preset should only be used at 1080p or 1440p, where average frame rates remain above 130 FPS, as the 4K Ultra result of 83 FPS represents the only measured scenario that falls below the 100 FPS threshold.
