Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-13700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 926th out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, indicating that while this pairing is fully capable of running the game, it does not deliver the top-tier frame rates achieved by higher-end configurations. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where the CPU's substantial processing power is matched with a GPU that, while competent, represents the entry point of its generation. This is a practical setup for a sports title like Undisputed, where the focus is on consistent, playable performance rather than extreme graphical fidelity.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 926 out of 1580 places it in the 41st percentile of tested configurations. This means that roughly 59% of tested combos deliver higher average frame rates in Undisputed. The data suggests that this pairing is not optimized for chasing maximum FPS at the highest settings, but it is far from being underpowered. The ranking is a direct result of the RTX 4060's position in the GPU hierarchy; the CPU is a top-tier performer, but the GPU holds the combo back in more demanding scenarios. For a game like Undisputed, which is a sports simulation, this rank is acceptable for smooth gameplay at standard settings, though users seeking the highest refresh rate experiences at 4K will find the combo lacking.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-13700K is a 16-core, 24-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, built on a 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a 30 MB shared L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 39,000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 5,505 in single-core, which places it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score are the Intel Core i7-13700KF (delta -0.1%), the AMD EPYC 4364P (delta 0.3%), and the Intel Core i9-12900F (delta 0.4%). In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and AI. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 271.4 FPS, which is far beyond what any display can show, indicating that the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions. Even at 4K Low (123.2 FPS), the CPU provides enough headroom to keep the GPU fully utilized. This processor is more than sufficient for this game; it is the GPU that will determine the upper limits of performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture (AD107 chip) on a 5 nm process. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz. Its memory clock runs at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). It has 3072 shading units, 24 RT cores, and 96 tensor cores. In the Passmark G3D benchmark, it scores 19,545, placing it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (delta -0.6%), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (delta -0.7%), and Intel Arc B580 (delta 0.7%). In Undisputed, the GPU is the primary factor for frame rates at higher settings. The data shows a clear scaling from Low to Ultra settings; at 1080p Ultra, the combo drops to 102.7 FPS, while at 4K Ultra, it falls to 45.5 FPS. This demonstrates that the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are the limiting factors when pushing resolution and graphical fidelity. The GPU's performance is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but it struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with high settings.

FAQ

Q: Is the Intel Core i7-13700K a bottleneck for the RTX 4060 in Undisputed?

A: No. The CPU is in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, and the measured FPS at 1080p Low settings reaches 271.4 FPS. This high frame rate at low settings indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU far more data than it can process, so the GPU is the limiting component.

Q: How does this combo perform at 1440p compared to 1080p?

A: At 1440p High settings, the combo averages 119.8 FPS, which is a 25% drop from the 160.1 FPS seen at 1080p High. At 1440p Ultra, the average is 77.3 FPS, compared to 102.7 FPS at 1080p Ultra. The performance remains playable, but the frame rate decrease is notable as resolution increases.

Q: What is the best settings preset for a 60 FPS target at 4K?

A: For a 60 FPS target at 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 87.7 FPS. The High preset averages 74 FPS, while the Ultra preset falls below 60 FPS at 45.5 FPS.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its closest rival, the Intel Arc B580?

A: The RTX 4060 has an average benchmark score of 23,181, while the Intel Arc B580 has a score of 23,021. The delta percentage is 0.7%, indicating the RTX 4060 is slightly faster on average. However, in-game performance in Undisputed will vary based on drivers and optimization.

Q: Does the CPU's multi-threading capability matter for this game?

A: The CPU scores 39,000 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, showing strong multi-threaded performance. In Undisputed, the game's engine likely uses multiple threads for simulation and rendering tasks, but the high single-thread score of 5,505 also ensures responsiveness. The data indicates that the CPU has ample headroom for this title.

Q: Is the 8 GB VRAM of the RTX 4060 a concern for Undisputed?

A: The measured data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo only achieves 45.5 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 4K Medium score of 87.7 FPS. This suggests that the 8 GB VRAM capacity is being stressed at the highest settings, leading to a performance hit.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and consistent scaling pattern across resolutions. At Low settings, the combo delivers 271.4 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 198 FPS at 1440p (a 27% decrease), and further to 123.2 FPS at 4K (a 55% decrease from 1080p). At High settings, the frame rates are 160.1 FPS at 1080p, 119.8 FPS at 1440p (a 25% drop), and 74 FPS at 4K (a 54% drop). This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. The CPU's performance is sufficient across all resolutions, as evidenced by the fact that the frame rate drops are proportional to the increase in pixel count. The RTX 4060's 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth become a bottleneck at 4K, especially at higher settings. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly steep, with a 38% drop at High settings (119.8 to 74 FPS) and a 41% drop at Ultra settings (77.3 to 45.5 FPS). This suggests that 4K gaming is only viable with reduced settings for this combo.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the High preset at 1440p is the sweet spot for this combo. The data shows an average of 119.8 FPS at 2560x1440 High, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay and provides a significant visual improvement over the Medium preset. For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset is viable, delivering an average of 102.7 FPS, which is smooth and allows for maximum graphical fidelity. At 4K, the Medium preset is the highest playable option, averaging 87.7 FPS, while the High preset at 74 FPS is also playable but with less headroom. The Ultra preset at 4K should be avoided, as it drops below 60 FPS to an average of 45.5 FPS, which will be noticeable in a fast-paced sports game. For a consistent 60+ FPS experience at 4K, the Low preset at 123.2 FPS is also an option, but it sacrifices visual quality. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can handle high and ultra settings with ease.
