Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT ranks 754th out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the upper-middle tier of all configurations. This position reflects a balanced pairing where the CPU's substantial processing power is the primary driver of the combo's standing, while the GPU dictates the visual ceiling. The data shows a system that can handle the game's demands at high refresh rates, particularly at 1080p and 1440p, but which will require settings adjustments to maintain smooth performance at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

At rank 754 out of 1580 tested combinations, this setup sits just above the midpoint of all tested hardware pairings. The ranking is a composite result of both components' capabilities, and in this case, the CPU is the stronger contributor. The i7-13700K achieves a 93rd percentile ranking against all CPUs, while the RX 6750 XT sits at the 79th percentile against all GPUs. This suggests the processor is doing more heavy lifting in establishing the combo's overall position than the graphics card.

The benchmark results show a system that is not at the bleeding edge but is far from entry-level. Within the context of Undisputed, a sports title that typically benefits from high frame rates, this rank indicates the combo can deliver a competitive experience without being top-tier. The gap between the CPU's percentile and the GPU's percentile also implies that the graphics card is the limiting factor in more demanding scenarios, such as Ultra settings or 4K resolution. For most users, this is a practical pairing that prioritizes consistency over raw extremes.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a RDNA 2.0 architecture card built on a 7 nm process, featuring 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus. Memory bandwidth is rated at 432.0 GB/s, which provides ample headroom for texture-heavy scenes. The card's game clock is 2495 MHz, with a boost clock of 2600 MHz, and it operates at a base clock of 2150 MHz. These clocks are modest by current standards but are sufficient for the card's target performance tier.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes evident when examining the frame rate scaling across settings. At 1920x1080, the card delivers 288.6 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 110.9 FPS on Ultra. The performance curve is steep, indicating that the card's 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs are stretched at higher quality presets. The card's 13.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 166.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the data shows a clear limitation at 4K, where even High settings yield only 79.6 FPS. The 12 GB VRAM is not a bottleneck at these measured settings, as the game's requirements are within the card's capacity.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to run this combo at for a high refresh rate experience?

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 on High settings delivers 171.1 FPS, while 2560x1440 on High produces 123.1 FPS. Both are suitable for high refresh rate monitors, but 1080p offers more headroom.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming?

A: Yes, but with compromises. At 3840x2160, the system achieves 79.6 FPS on High and 96.0 FPS on Medium, but drops to 52.9 FPS on Ultra. For a smooth 4K experience, Medium settings are recommended.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals?

A: The i7-13700K scores 47282 on average, which is 0.1% behind the Intel Core i7-13700KF and 0.3% ahead of the AMD EPYC 4364P. It trails the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 by 0.5%, indicating near-identical performance among these top contenders.

Q: What is the GPU's performance relative to its nearest competitors?

A: The RX 6750 XT averages 35327, which is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5600M and 1.3% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. It also lags the AMD Radeon 880M by 0.9%, showing a tightly packed group.

Q: Is there a significant difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: Yes, the gap is substantial. At 2560x1440, Low settings yield 207.7 FPS, while Ultra drops to 82.6 FPS. This represents a performance reduction of over 60% when moving to the highest preset.

Q: Which settings preset offers the best balance of visuals and performance?

A: Based on the measured data, High settings at 2560x1440 provides 123.1 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold and offers better visual fidelity than Medium without the steep cost of Ultra.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data indicates that High settings at 2560x1440 is the sweet spot for this combo. It delivers 123.1 FPS, which is smooth for most displays, and the visual upgrade over Medium (148.3 FPS) is worth the modest frame rate loss. At 1920x1080, High settings at 171.1 FPS is ideal for competitive play, as it maintains high frame rates without sacrificing too much quality.

If prioritizing frame rate above all else, Low settings at 1080p yields 288.6 FPS, which is far beyond what most monitors can display. Ultra settings are not recommended for this pairing, as the performance drop is severe: 52.9 FPS at 4K and 110.9 FPS at 1080p. The cost of Ultra is not justified by the visual gains, especially when High provides a significantly better frame rate at all resolutions. For 4K users, Medium settings at 96.0 FPS is the practical choice, as it maintains playability without the dramatic reduction seen at Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo scales from 288.6 FPS on Low to 209.7 FPS on Medium, then 171.1 FPS on High, and finally 110.9 FPS on Ultra. The step from Low to Medium costs 78.9 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 60.2 FPS, showing diminishing returns at higher settings.

At 2560x1440, performance drops across the board: 207.7 FPS on Low, 148.3 FPS on Medium, 123.1 FPS on High, and 82.6 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Medium and High is 25.2 FPS, which is smaller than the 59.4 FPS gap between Low and Medium. This suggests that Medium to High is a more efficient upgrade path at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the card struggles with higher presets: 132.2 FPS on Low, 96.0 FPS on Medium, 79.6 FPS on High, and 52.9 FPS on Ultra. The difference between High and Ultra is 26.7 FPS, which is the largest relative drop across all resolutions, highlighting the card's limitations at 4K. The data shows a consistent pattern: the combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K reserved for lower settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with 30 MB of shared L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 39000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 5505 in single-core, indicating strong multi-threaded capability and solid single-thread performance.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with enough data to maintain high frame rates. The benchmark results show that at lower settings, where the GPU is less stressed, frame rates scale dramatically—288.6 FPS at 1080p Low—which suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck in these scenarios. The 3dmark scores support this: 10717 for 16 threads and 1136 for a single thread, showing robust performance across both lightly and heavily threaded workloads.

The CPU's 93rd percentile ranking means it outperforms the vast majority of processors, providing a solid foundation for this GPU pairing. However, the measured frame rates at Ultra settings across all resolutions indicate that the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as the CPU's performance headroom is not fully utilized. The i7-13700K is more than capable of handling the game's physics and AI calculations, allowing the RX 6750 XT to operate at its intended performance level without being starved of data.
