Undisputed

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination ranks 1,194th out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the lower-mid segment of the database. This position indicates that while the pairing is capable of running the game, it does not deliver top-tier performance relative to the broader field of tested systems. The CPU itself is a powerhouse, sitting in the 97th percentile against all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 79,102, but the GPU, which falls in the 63rd percentile against all GPUs, holds the combo back from climbing higher in the rankings. The data shows a clear imbalance: the processor is far more capable than the graphics card, and this pairing reflects a system where the CPU is not the limiting factor. In practical terms, the combo sits ahead of only 386 other tested configurations, meaning that a large portion of the database outperforms it, but it also means that the system is not a bottom-tier performer either. The benchmark results indicate that this is a workable setup for Undisputed, though users seeking higher frame rates at demanding settings will likely need to adjust expectations or consider a more balanced component pairing.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER lands at rank 1,194 out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the system in the 75th percentile of tested configurations, meaning that roughly a quarter of the tested combos perform worse, while three-quarters perform better. The CPU's individual standing is exceptional—it sits in the 97th percentile against all CPUs—but the GPU's 63rd percentile ranking against all GPUs drags the overall combo down significantly. The processor's average benchmark score of 79,102 is nearly four times the GPU's average score of 19,774, which underscores the massive performance gap between the two components.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for Undisputed reveals a clear hierarchy across settings and resolutions, and the optimal choice depends on the user's display and performance targets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers a playable experience across all settings: Low yields 228.6 FPS, Medium 166.2 FPS, High 135.1 FPS, and Ultra 85.8 FPS. For users with a 1080p 60Hz monitor, even Ultra settings provide a comfortable margin above the refresh rate, making it the best visual choice without sacrificing smoothness. However, for those with a 1080p 144Hz display, High settings at 135.1 FPS offer the best balance, as they stay close to the refresh rate while providing better visuals than Medium or Low. At 2560x1440, the situation tightens: Low gives 164.7 FPS, Medium 117.6 FPS, High 101.6 FPS, and Ultra 61.6 FPS. For 1440p 60Hz displays, Ultra is viable, but for 1440p 144Hz panels, Medium or High are the recommended presets, with High at 101.6 FPS being the most balanced option. At 3840x2160, the results are more constrained: Low achieves 103.8 FPS, Medium 74.1 FPS, High 60.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 40.1 FPS. For 4K 60Hz displays, High is the best choice, as it hits 60.8 FPS, just above the refresh rate, while Ultra falls below 60 FPS and is not recommended. The data shows that the combo scales predictably with settings, and the best experience—balancing visual quality against frame rate—is High at 1440p, which delivers 101.6 FPS, or High at 4K for those prioritizing resolution over refresh rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Undisputed spans three resolutions and four settings, providing a comprehensive view of the combo's capabilities. At 1920x1080, the results are the strongest: Low settings produce 228.6 FPS, Medium 166.2 FPS, High 135.1 FPS, and Ultra 85.8 FPS. This resolution shows the combo's ability to handle high frame rates, with even the most demanding setting staying above 85 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop but remain solid: Low yields 164.7 FPS, Medium 117.6 FPS, High 101.6 FPS, and Ultra 61.6 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 16 FPS, while the drop from High to Ultra is 40 FPS, indicating that Ultra is significantly more demanding. At 3840x2160, the results are the weakest: Low achieves 103.8 FPS, Medium 74.1 FPS, High 60.8 FPS, and Ultra 40.1 FPS. The progression from 1080p to 4K shows a consistent pattern of diminishing returns, with the most severe drop occurring between High and Ultra at each resolution. Across all resolutions, Low settings provide the highest frame rates, but the data suggests that High is the sweet spot for most users, as it maintains playable FPS at 1440p and 4K while offering better visuals. The lack of min and max FPS values means that only average frame rates are available for analysis, but the consistent averages indicate stable performance across the board. The combination of the CPU's high single-thread and multi-thread scores—7,060 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 50,009 in multi-core—does not translate to higher FPS at 4K Ultra, where the GPU's 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 performance becomes the limiting factor.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 reveals how the system scales with resolution and which component becomes the bottleneck. At Low settings, the average FPS at 1080p is 228.6, which falls to 164.7 at 1440p and then to 103.8 at 4K. This represents a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 37% drop from 1440p to 4K, showing that the GPU struggles as pixel count increases. At Medium settings, the numbers are 166.2 FPS at 1080p, 117.6 FPS at 1440p, and 74.1 FPS at 4K, with drops of 29% and 37%, respectively. High settings follow a similar trajectory: 135.1 FPS at 1080p, 101.6 FPS at 1440p, and 60.8 FPS at 4K, with drops of 25% and 40%. Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 85.8 FPS at 1080p, 61.6 FPS at 1440p, and 40.1 FPS at 4K, with drops of 28% and 35%. The consistent pattern across all settings—where the drop from 1440p to 4K is consistently larger than the drop from 1080p to 1440p—indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the increased pixel load overwhelms the GPU's 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 throughput. The CPU, with its 20 cores and 20 threads and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, is not the constraint here; its 97th percentile ranking and high benchmark scores suggest it could drive higher frame rates if paired with a more powerful GPU. The data shows that at 1080p, the combo is CPU-bound, as evidenced by the high frame rates that exceed what the GPU's raw specs might suggest, but at 4K, the GPU's limitations become apparent, with Ultra settings dropping to 40.1 FPS. This scaling behavior confirms that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary bottleneck in Undisputed, and users should target 1080p or 1440p for the best experience, as 4K Ultra is not viable with this pairing.
