Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed with the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 shows a predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, but the rate of that degradation is revealing. Starting at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 242 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops that to 175 FPS, a 27.7% reduction. Continuing to 3840x2160 at Low yields 111 FPS, which is another 36.6% drop from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern suggests the GPU is becoming progressively more load-bound as pixel count rises, but the game remains quite playable even at 4K on Low.

The Medium settings row provides the most complete picture because it includes minimum and maximum FPS values at every resolution. At 1080p Medium, the average is 174 FPS with a 148 FPS minimum and 200 FPS maximum. At 1440p Medium, the average falls to 126 FPS with a 107 FPS minimum and 145 FPS maximum. At 4K Medium, the average drops to 80 FPS with a 68 FPS minimum and 92 FPS maximum. The consistency of the frame pacing, as evidenced by the relatively tight min-max ranges, indicates that the RTX 4060 maintains stable performance even as resolution scales upward.

The High settings curve tells a similar story with a steeper slope. From 144 FPS at 1080p High, the average drops to 104 FPS at 1440p High (a 27.8% reduction), then to 66 FPS at 4K High (a 36.5% reduction from 1440p). The near-identical percentage drops between Low and High settings across resolution steps suggest that the resolution scaling factor is largely independent of the quality preset. This is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where the rendering resolution dominates the performance equation.

Ultra settings present the most demanding profile. At 1080p Ultra, the combo manages 93 FPS average. At 1440p Ultra, that falls to 67 FPS, a 28% reduction. At 4K Ultra, the average collapses to 42 FPS, which represents a 37.3% drop from the 1440p figure. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, which is a critical finding for players targeting smooth gameplay at maximum quality.

The data indicates that the limiting component shifts as resolution increases. At 1080p, the extremely high frame rates across all settings suggest the CPU and GPU are well balanced, with neither becoming a severe bottleneck. As resolution climbs to 4K, the GPU's capabilities become the primary constraint, particularly at Ultra settings where the 42 FPS average indicates the RTX 4060 is saturated by the pixel and shading workload.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in this combo is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. The GPU contains 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die, giving it a transistor density of 118.9M per mm². The chip operates at a base clock of 1830 MHz with a boost clock of 2460 MHz, while the memory runs at 2125 MHz, translating to 17 Gbps effective. The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory sits on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

The GPU's compute resources include 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output units. It also features 24 ray tracing cores and 96 tensor cores. The pixel rate is 118.1 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 236.2 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 15.11 TFLOPS, with FP16 also rated at 15.11 TFLOPS due to a 1:1 ratio. The GPU's TDP is 115 W, and it requires a 300 W suggested power supply with a single 12-pin connector.

In the context of Undisputed's measured results, the RTX 4060's memory configuration plays a notable role. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game's needs even at 4K Ultra, as evidenced by the fact that the GPU still renders frames at all measured settings without indication of memory-related stuttering or failure. The 272.0 GB/s bandwidth appears adequate for the game's texture streaming and geometry throughput, given the consistent frame times observed in the Medium settings rows.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 61st percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17639. Its nearest rivals in synthetic testing include the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (scoring 17666, 0.2% higher), the AMD Radeon 780M (scoring 17588, 0.3% lower), the AMD Radeon Pro 560 (scoring 17551, 0.5% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 (scoring 17509, 0.7% lower). These close margins in synthetic tests suggest the RTX 4060 sits in a competitive mid-range position, though the real-world game performance in Undisputed shows it can handle 4K at medium presets comfortably.

The clock behavior of the RTX 4060 is relevant to the game's performance characteristics. The boost clock of 2460 MHz is notably higher than the base clock of 1830 MHz, a 34.4% headroom that the GPU can exploit under sustained gaming loads. The measured FPS data in Undisputed suggests the GPU is able to maintain high boost clocks during gameplay, particularly at lower resolutions where thermal and power headroom are less constrained.

High settings yield 104 FPS average. Ultra settings drop to 67 FPS average. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 108 FPS, a narrower gap than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU's workload is becoming a more significant factor.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the combo shows its limits. Low settings still manage 111 FPS average, which is playable for most users. Medium settings produce 80 FPS average, with a minimum of 68 FPS and maximum of 92 FPS. High settings deliver 66 FPS average. Ultra settings fall to 42 FPS average, which is the only measured configuration that would present noticeable stutter on typical 60 Hz displays. The range between Low and Ultra at 4K is 69 FPS, the narrowest of all resolutions, confirming that the GPU is the primary constraint at this resolution.

The Medium settings rows provide the only complete min-max data across all three resolutions. At 1080p, the 52 FPS spread between minimum and maximum indicates some variance but no severe frame drops. At 1440p, the 38 FPS spread shows improved consistency. At 4K, the 24 FPS spread is the tightest, suggesting that at higher resolutions the GPU maintains more uniform frame pacing despite the lower overall performance. This pattern is typical of a GPU that reaches a steady-state workload at high resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a mobile processor from the Core Ultra Series 1, built on Intel's 7 nm Meteor Lake architecture. It features 16 cores and 22 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The TDP is 28 W, and it uses the Intel BGA 2049 socket. The cache hierarchy includes 112 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU shows strong multi-threaded performance with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15028 and a single-core score of 1743. The PassMark multi-thread score is 24873, with a single-thread score of 3468. The CPU's average benchmark score is 32697, placing it in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-14600T (scoring 32707, 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (scoring 32662, 0.1% higher), the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F (scoring 32750, 0.2% lower), and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H (scoring 32812, 0.4% lower).

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions where frame rates are highest. At 1080p Low, the 242 FPS average suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high rates. The 22 threads provide ample parallelism for game logic and physics, which is typical for a sports title that must track multiple athletes and ball physics simultaneously. The 4.80 GHz boost clock ensures strong single-thread performance for the main game loop, which is often the bottleneck in sports simulations.

The CPU's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth and dual-channel DDR5 support are sufficient for the game's data throughput requirements. The 24 MB of L3 cache is shared across all cores, which helps with frequently accessed game data. At higher resolutions where frame rates drop below 100 FPS, the CPU has ample headroom, as evidenced by the fact that the performance scaling from 1080p to 1440p to 4K follows the GPU's expected workload increase rather than showing CPU-related plateaus.

The 83rd percentile ranking indicates the CPU is above average compared to all tested CPUs, which aligns with its performance in the measured FPS data. The close margins to its nearest rivals (all within 0.4%) suggest that the Ultra 7 155H is competitively positioned in the mobile CPU landscape, though these synthetic benchmark differences do not translate to meaningful gameplay differences in Undisputed given the GPU-bound nature of higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces 174 FPS average with a 148 FPS minimum, ensuring smooth gameplay on any display. At 1440p Medium, the 126 FPS average and 107 FPS minimum keep the experience well above the 60 FPS threshold. At 4K Medium, the 80 FPS average and 68 FPS minimum provide a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, making this the only preset that maintains playability at the highest resolution without dipping below 60 FPS.

For players targeting 1080p or 1440p gaming, the High preset is a viable choice. At 1080p High, the 144 FPS average still delivers a high refresh rate experience. At 1440p High, the 104 FPS average is above 100 FPS, which is suitable for most high-refresh displays. However, at 4K High, the 66 FPS average is close to the 60 FPS threshold, and while it technically stays above it, there is less headroom for demanding scenes.

The Ultra preset is only recommended for players with 1080p displays who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate. At 1080p Ultra, the 93 FPS average remains playable and is still above 60 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, the 67 FPS average is borderline, and at 4K Ultra, the 42 FPS average is too low for smooth gameplay. The Low preset, while producing the highest frame rates (242 FPS at 1080p, 175 FPS at 1440p, 111 FPS at 4K), sacrifices too much visual quality for the minor benefit of frame rates that exceed most display refresh rates.

The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for this combo. It provides the only configuration where all three resolutions maintain minimum FPS above 60, and the min-max ranges show consistent frame pacing. For a sports game like Undisputed, where smooth animation is critical for gameplay responsiveness, the Medium preset's combination of visual quality and performance makes it the recommended choice for most users. Players with high-refresh 1080p or 1440p monitors may prefer High, but they should be aware that 4K High does not provide the same safety margin.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1704 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the bottom half of the distribution. This ranking reflects the fact that the RTX 4060, while a capable mobile GPU, is positioned in the mid-range segment. The GPU's 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs and the CPU's 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs show a slight imbalance, with the CPU being relatively stronger than the GPU.

The combo's position in the 1704th spot out of 2813 means there are 1109 combos that perform worse and 1703 that perform better. This places it in the 39.4th percentile of combos tested for this game, which is below the average. The ranking is influenced by the fact that Undisputed appears to be a GPU-bound title at higher resolutions, which means the RTX 4060's mid-range performance limits the combo's overall standing.

In the context of the GPU's nearest rivals, the RTX 4060's synthetic benchmark scores are tightly clustered, with all rivals within 0.7% of its score. This suggests that the GPU's performance is competitive within its segment, but the combo ranking in Undisputed is determined by the actual game performance, which shows the GPU's limitations at 4K Ultra settings. The CPU's stronger relative standing does not compensate for the GPU's mid-range position in this game.

Despite the below-average combo ranking, the measured FPS data shows that this combo is capable of delivering a good experience in Undisputed for most use cases. The ability to maintain above 60 FPS at 4K Medium, above 100 FPS at 1440p High, and above 140 FPS at 1080p High means that the combo can handle the game well across a variety of settings and resolutions. The low combo rank is more a reflection of the competitive field, which includes many higher-end desktop and mobile configurations, than a condemnation of this specific pairing's capabilities.
