Undisputed

# Undisputed with Intel Core i5-13400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

This combination of the Intel Core i5-13400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces remarkably high frame rates across all tested configurations in Undisputed, a sports title that appears heavily GPU-bound at higher settings. The data set covers four quality presets at three resolutions, with average FPS ranging from 101 at 4K Ultra to 567 at 1080p Low. The RTX 5090 D, which holds the 92nd percentile among all GPUs tested, drives most of the performance headroom, while the 10-core, 16-thread i5-13400F (77th percentile among CPUs) keeps pace without becoming a limiting factor at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows reveal a clear performance hierarchy across the four presets. At 1080p, the jump from Low to Medium costs 151 FPS (from 567 to 416), while the jump from Medium to High costs another 72 FPS (to 344), and High to Ultra drops to 222 FPS. This means the Ultra preset delivers 39% of the Low preset's frame rate at 1080p, yet still maintains a very playable 222 FPS average. At 1440p, the pattern holds: Low produces 418 FPS, Medium drops to 301, High to 249, and Ultra to 160 FPS. The 4K results show the steepest scaling: Low produces 264 FPS, Medium 190, High 157, and Ultra only 101 FPS.

For players seeking the best balance between visual quality and frame rate, Medium appears to be the optimal preset across all three resolutions. At 1080p, Medium's 416 FPS average is more than sufficient for any display refresh rate currently available, while at 1440p the 301 FPS average leaves substantial headroom. Even at 4K, Medium's 190 FPS average is far beyond what most monitors can display. The High preset offers diminishing returns: at 1080p it still delivers 344 FPS, but at 4K it drops to 157 FPS, which is still excellent but represents a 21% reduction from Medium. Ultra, while visually demanding, produces frame rates that are still playable — 222 FPS at 1080p, 160 FPS at 1440p, and 101 FPS at 4K — but the performance cost relative to Medium is steep.

Given that the Medium preset at 4K (190 FPS) outperforms the Ultra preset at 1080p (222 FPS) by a smaller margin than one might expect, the data suggests that Medium at a higher resolution often provides a better experience than Ultra at a lower resolution. Specifically, 4K Medium (190 FPS) exceeds 1440p Ultra (160 FPS) and comes close to 1080p Ultra (222 FPS), indicating that the RTX 5090 D has enough headroom to prioritize resolution over quality settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 92nd percentile ranking among all tested GPUs places it well above the average, and its benchmark scores confirm this: the Passmark G3D score of 44,065 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 376,915 are exceptional figures. The GPU's boost clock of 2407 MHz, combined with 21,760 shading units and 176 ROPs, provides the raw compute power necessary to drive the high frame rates observed in Undisputed.

The game's results show a clear GPU-bound pattern at higher resolutions and settings. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 101, which represents the most demanding configuration tested. The 32 GB VRAM allocation is far more than Undisputed requires at any tested setting, so capacity is never a constraint; instead, the performance differences between presets reflect the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth limitations under increasing load. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth becomes particularly relevant at 4K, where the drop from Low (264 FPS) to Ultra (101 FPS) represents a 62% reduction in frame rate.

Comparing the RTX 5090 D to its nearest rivals from the benchmark database, the data shows a tight cluster. The GPU's average benchmark score of 77,712 is 1.1% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904), 1.6% lower than the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940), 2.1% lower than the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79,396), and 2.4% lower than the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605). These deltas indicate that in synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5090 D is essentially comparable to those GPUs, though the gaming results in Undisputed would likely diverge given the architectural differences.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-13400F provides the computational foundation for this combo, featuring 10 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. This Raptor Lake-S processor, built on Intel's 10 nm process, has a 20 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory. Its benchmark results are solid: the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,604 and single-core score of 3,191 indicate strong all-around performance, while the Geekbench multi-core score of 11,068 and single-core score of 1,996 confirm the processor's capability.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU appears to be sufficient but not the primary performance driver. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 567 FPS, which is an extraordinarily high frame rate that approaches the practical limits of most display technology. At 1440p Low, the frame rate drops to 418 FPS, and at 4K Low to 264 FPS. This scaling pattern — where frame rates drop by roughly 26% from 1080p to 1440p and another 37% from 1440p to 4K at Low settings — suggests that the GPU becomes progressively more limiting as resolution increases, while the CPU maintains adequate throughput.

The i5-13400F's 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it comfortably in the upper tier of processors. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (avg score 25,284, 0% delta), Intel Core 5 120 (avg score 25,362, -0.3% delta), AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D (avg score 25,365, -0.3% delta), and AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (avg score 25,201, 0.4% delta). These tiny deltas — all within 0.4% — indicate that the i5-13400F performs essentially identically to these rivals in synthetic CPU benchmarks, so any performance differences in Undisputed would stem from other system characteristics.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D combination holds the 36th rank out of 2,813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 1.3% of all configurations evaluated. This ranking reflects the high frame rates achieved across all tested settings, with the combo delivering playable performance even at the most demanding configuration of 4K Ultra (101 FPS). The top-36 placement out of 2,813 combos indicates that this pairing is exceptionally well-suited for Undisputed, though the CPU's 77th percentile ranking suggests that other processors in the database might offer slightly more headroom in CPU-bound scenarios.

Given that the GPU ranks in the 92nd percentile and the CPU in the 77th percentile, the combo's 36th overall rank in this game suggests that Undisputed's performance characteristics favor the GPU more heavily. The 4K Ultra result of 101 FPS is particularly notable, as it indicates the combo can handle maximum quality at 4K with playable frame rates, while the 1080p Low result of 567 FPS demonstrates extreme headroom for high-refresh-rate displays. The combo's ranking also implies that very few other tested configurations produce higher frame rates in this title, which aligns with the RTX 5090 D's position near the top of the GPU hierarchy.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce 567 FPS average, Medium produces 416 FPS average with a minimum of 354 and maximum of 478, High produces 344 FPS average, and Ultra produces 222 FPS average. The spread from Low to Ultra is 345 FPS, or 61% of the Low value. The Medium preset's min-max range of 354-478 FPS shows relatively consistent frame pacing, with the minimum staying well above the 300 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high but begin to show more resolution pressure. Low settings produce 418 FPS average, Medium produces 301 FPS average with a minimum of 256 and maximum of 346, High produces 249 FPS average, and Ultra produces 160 FPS average. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each preset is consistent: Low loses 149 FPS (26%), Medium loses 115 FPS (28%), High loses 95 FPS (28%), and Ultra loses 62 FPS (28%). This uniform percentage drop suggests a consistent scaling factor with resolution rather than a sudden bottleneck.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop more significantly, though they remain playable at all presets. Low settings produce 264 FPS average, Medium produces 190 FPS average with a minimum of 162 and maximum of 219, High produces 157 FPS average, and Ultra produces 101 FPS average. The transition from 1440p to 4K shows steeper percentage drops: Low loses 154 FPS (37%), Medium loses 111 FPS (37%), High loses 92 FPS (37%), and Ultra loses 59 FPS (37%). This consistent 37% drop from 1440p to 4K, compared to the 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p, indicates that the additional pixel count at 4K places proportionally more demand on the GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data reveals a consistent pattern across all four settings presets. Moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by approximately 28% at every preset, while moving from 1440p to 4K reduces frame rates by approximately 37% at every preset. This uniformity suggests that the limiting component scales predictably with pixel count, which typically indicates a GPU-bound scenario. The RTX 5090 D's 32 GB of VRAM and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth are sufficient to avoid memory capacity or bandwidth bottlenecks at any tested resolution, so the frame rate drops reflect the GPU's compute throughput limits.

The fact that the percentage drops are nearly identical at Low settings (26% for 1080p to 1440p, 37% for 1440p to 4K) and at Ultra settings (28% and 37%, respectively) is telling. If the CPU were a significant limiting factor, the percentage drops at Low settings would be smaller, since the CPU would dominate the frame time at lower GPU loads. Instead, the data shows that even at Low settings, where the CPU has the least graphics work to feed, the frame rates scale with resolution in a way that points to GPU-bound performance throughout.

The 4K Ultra result of 101 FPS, while the lowest in the data set, still represents a playable frame rate for a sports title. The scaling from 1080p Ultra (222 FPS) to 4K Ultra (101 FPS) represents a 55% reduction, which is larger than the 37% reduction seen from 1440p to 4K at other presets, suggesting that the Ultra preset at 4K pushes the GPU to its limits. Overall, the resolution scaling analysis indicates that this combo is GPU-limited in Undisputed, with the RTX 5090 D providing the performance ceiling while the i5-13400F supplies sufficient CPU throughput to avoid becoming a bottleneck at any tested configuration.
