FAQ

Q: How does the Intel Core i7-13700K compare to its closest rival, the Intel Core i7-13700KF?

A: The i7-13700K has an average benchmark score of 47282, which is effectively tied with the i7-13700KF's score of 47334. The deltaPct is -0.1%, meaning the KF variant is a negligible 0.1% faster on average across all tested benchmarks.

Q: What is the GPU's position relative to the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 has an average benchmark score of 35787, while the RX 7900 GRE scores 36101. The deltaPct of -0.9% indicates the RTX 3080 trails the RX 7900 GRE by less than one percent in aggregate GPU benchmarks.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations for Undisputed?

A: The combo of Intel Core i7-13700K + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 ranks 496th out of 1580 tested combos in this game. This places it in the 69th percentile overall, meaning roughly 31% of tested combinations deliver higher average FPS in Undisputed.

Q: What is the performance difference between the Low and Ultra presets at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces 356.3 FPS average, while the Ultra preset produces 139.9 FPS. The gap between these two settings is 216.4 FPS, with Ultra delivering approximately 39% of the frame rate achievable at Low settings.

Q: Which resolution yields the highest average frame rate for this combination?

A: The data shows the highest average FPS occurs at 1920x1080 with Low settings, reaching 356.3 FPS. At 2560x1440 Low, the average drops to 261.3 FPS, and at 3840x2160 Low it falls further to 163.2 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU or GPU have a higher percentile ranking among their respective hardware classes?

A: The CPU holds a percentile of 93 versus all CPUs, while the GPU holds a percentile of 80 versus all GPUs. The Intel Core i7-13700K is therefore more dominant within the CPU market than the RTX 3080 is within the GPU market.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 serves as the primary rendering engine in this configuration, bringing 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus. Memory bandwidth is rated at 760.3 GB/s, which is substantial enough to feed the Ampere architecture's 8704 shading units efficiently. The GPU's base clock sits at 1440 MHz with a boost clock of 1710 MHz, and it carries 68 RT cores alongside 272 tensor cores for hardware-accelerated ray tracing and DLSS workloads.

In the context of Undisputed, the GPU's memory configuration becomes critical as resolution scales. At 3840x2160 Ultra, the average FPS falls to 65.3, which is the lowest measured result across all settings. This suggests that at 4K with maximum settings, the 10 GB frame buffer and memory bandwidth are being pushed hard, though the game remains playable. The RTX 3080 posts a PassMark G3D score of 25086 and a DirectX 12 score of 100, placing it at the 80th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon Pro Duo, scores 35860 on average with a deltaPct of -0.2%, putting these two cards at near parity.

The GPU's compute potential is evident in its Geekbench OpenCL score of 167014 and Vulkan score of 145176. These figures indicate strong raw throughput, which translates to the high frame rates observed at lower resolutions and settings. The boost clock behavior under sustained load is not directly measured in this data, but the scaling from Low to Ultra settings at each resolution shows the GPU has significant headroom when graphical demands are reduced.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 achieves a rank of 496 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the setup in roughly the top 31% of all combinations tested, which is a solid mid-to-upper tier result for a game categorized as Sports. The ranking reflects the synergy between a CPU that sits at the 93rd percentile and a GPU at the 80th percentile.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the i7-13700K's average benchmark score of 47282 is within a fraction of the i7-13700KF (47334, -0.1% delta) and the AMD EPYC 4364P (47131, +0.3% delta). Against the Intel Core i9-12900F, the i7-13700K leads by 0.4% with a score difference of 201 points. These margins are extremely tight, indicating that the CPU is operating at the top of its performance class. For the GPU, the RTX 3080's 35787 average score is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon Pro Duo's 35860 (-0.2%) and the AMD Radeon 880M's 35646 (+0.4%). The RTX 3080 trails the RX 7900 GRE by 0.9% but leads the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile by 1% in aggregate benchmarks.

Within Undisputed specifically, the combo's 496th rank suggests that while the hardware is capable, there are 495 other configurations that deliver higher average FPS. This is likely influenced by the game's relatively modest requirements, where even mid-range GPUs can achieve high frame rates, compressing the performance spread among top-tier components.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results show a wide spread across settings. Low delivers 356.3 FPS average, Medium drops to 258.9 FPS, High produces 214.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 139.9 FPS. The step from Low to Medium is a reduction of 97.4 FPS, from Medium to High a further 44.6 FPS, and from High to Ultra another 74.4 FPS. This pattern indicates diminishing returns as settings increase, with Ultra costing more than double the performance of Low.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages are 261.3 FPS at Low, 189.7 FPS at Medium, 152.9 FPS at High, and 98.5 FPS at Ultra. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 162.8 FPS. Compared to 1080p, every setting sees a noticeable decline: Low drops by 95 FPS, Medium by 69.2 FPS, High by 61.4 FPS, and Ultra by 41.4 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the results compress further. Low averages 163.2 FPS, Medium 117 FPS, High 96.1 FPS, and Ultra 65.3 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 97.9 FPS, which is smaller than at 1080p or 1440p. Across all three resolutions, the data shows that Ultra settings consistently reduce frame rates by roughly half or more compared to Low, highlighting the significant GPU workload imposed by the highest preset.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck lies. At Low settings, 1080p produces 356.3 FPS, 1440p produces 261.3 FPS, and 4K produces 163.2 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 95 FPS (a 26.7% reduction), while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 98.1 FPS (a 37.5% reduction). This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at lower settings, where the CPU has ample headroom to feed the graphics card.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is less steep in absolute terms but proportionally similar. 1080p yields 139.9 FPS, 1440p yields 98.5 FPS, and 4K yields 65.3 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 41.4 FPS (29.6%), and from 1440p to 4K is 33.2 FPS (33.7%). The relatively consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the RTX 3080 remains the primary limiter throughout, as the i7-13700K's strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5505) is more than sufficient for this Sports title.

The data indicates that at 1080p Low, the CPU is likely the limiting factor, as 356.3 FPS is an extremely high frame rate that pushes against CPU scheduling limits. However, as resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows proportionally, and the RTX 3080's frame rate becomes the dominant constraint. The 4K Ultra result of 65.3 FPS shows the GPU at its most strained, while the 1080p Ultra result of 139.9 FPS still leaves headroom for higher refresh rate displays.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting the highest refresh rates, the Low preset at 1920x1080 delivers 356.3 FPS, which is well beyond what any current display can show. Even at 2560x1440, Low produces 261.3 FPS, providing ample headroom for 240 Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 1440p offers 189.7 FPS, which remains above 144 Hz thresholds and represents a reasonable balance between visual fidelity and performance.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset yields 117 FPS, which is suitable for 120 Hz displays, while High drops to 96.1 FPS and Ultra falls to 65.3 FPS. For 4K users, the data suggests Medium is the optimal choice for maintaining smooth gameplay, as it retains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while offering better visual quality than Low. The High preset at 4K remains playable at 96.1 FPS, but the step to Ultra costs nearly 31 FPS for marginal visual gains.

For 1080p and 1440p users, the High preset provides 214.3 FPS and 152.9 FPS respectively, both of which exceed 144 Hz refresh rates. The Ultra preset at these resolutions drops to 139.9 FPS and 98.5 FPS, which may still be acceptable depending on the display's native refresh rate. Given the data, the recommended balance across all resolutions is the Medium preset, which consistently offers the best frame rate-to-visual quality trade-off: 258.9 FPS at 1080p, 189.7 FPS at 1440p, and 117 FPS at 4K.
