Undisputed

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this pairing occupy very different positions in the performance spectrum, and the nearest rivals reflect that split clearly.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, the database places it at the 81st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29879. The closest competing processors are all within a fraction of a percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868, a delta of 0% against the 5800XT, meaning the two are effectively interchangeable in synthetic workload performance. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, which is 0.3% higher than the 5800XT, a margin that would be invisible in real-world gaming. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, which is 0.6% lower than the 5800XT. For practical purposes, any of these four CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in a game like Undisputed, assuming the GPU is the limiting factor, which it will be in most scenarios given the GPU's position in the database.

The Intel Arc B390 tells a very different story. Its average benchmark score is 1482, and it sits at only the 9th percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals are all legacy NVIDIA parts. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, which is 1.3% behind the B390. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% behind, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% behind. These deltas are small, but the absolute performance level is what matters: this GPU is operating in territory where even modest settings changes produce large frame rate swings. When building a system around this combo, the GPU is the component that determines the ceiling, and the CPU has ample headroom for the workloads this GPU can actually push.

CPU and GPU Roles

Undisputed is a sports title, and the measured data shows that the GPU is the overwhelming bottleneck in this pairing. The CPU's 8 cores, 16 threads, and 4.80 GHz boost clock are far beyond what this GPU can feed, even at lower resolutions.

At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo reaches 127 FPS average. At 2560x1440 Low, that drops to 92 FPS, a 27.6% reduction. At 3840x2160 Low, it falls to 58 FPS, another 37% reduction from the 1440p figure. This pattern of steep declines as resolution rises is the signature of a GPU-bound scenario. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates would stay relatively flat across resolutions because the CPU work per frame does not scale with pixel count the way GPU work does.

The settings scaling reinforces this conclusion. At 1920x1080, moving from Low to Medium drops the average from 127 to 91 FPS, a 28.3% penalty. Medium to High drops from 91 to 76 FPS, a 16.5% penalty. High to Ultra drops from 76 to 49 FPS, a 35.5% penalty. At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds: Low at 92 FPS, Medium at 66 FPS (28.3% drop), High at 55 FPS (16.7% drop), Ultra at 35 FPS (36.4% drop). The GPU is clearly the component responding to every change in rendering load.

The CPU role is best understood as a non-factor. The Ryzen 7 5800XT scores 7683 in 3dmark_16_threads and 7680 in 3dmark_max_threads, indicating that its multi-threaded ceiling is nearly reached with 16 threads, which matches its 16-thread design. Single-thread performance, represented by the 3dmark_single_thread score of 959 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3359, is strong enough that CPU-side frame pacing should never be the cause of a stutter or frame drop in this title. The passmark physics score of 1355 and the passmark multithread score of 28053 further confirm that the CPU has substantial compute headroom. In any scenario where this combo falls below 60 FPS, the recorded data points to the GPU as the responsible component.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this pairing at 3304 out of 3718 tested combinations for Undisputed. That places it in the bottom 11.1% of all tested combos, which is consistent with the GPU's 9th percentile standing. The CPU's 81st percentile ranking does not rescue the combo because the game's performance ceiling is set by the GPU.

The rank of 3304 means there are 414 tested combinations that perform worse than this setup. That is a meaningful context: this is not the worst possible pairing, but it is far from a comfortable one. For a game like Undisputed, which appears to be moderately demanding based on the frame rate scaling, this combo will handle lower settings at 1080p and 1440p, but it cannot sustain Ultra settings at any resolution in the measured data, and it cannot reach 60 FPS at 4K on any preset.

The practical takeaway from the rank is that anyone considering this combo should treat it as a 1080p-oriented configuration with some 1440p capability at reduced settings. The CPU will not need an upgrade for this game, and pairing it with a stronger GPU would move the combo much higher in the ranking. The measured data shows the GPU is the binding constraint in every resolution and preset combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains measured frame rate data for four presets at three resolutions. Min and max values are only recorded for Medium settings, so the analysis for other presets relies on average FPS.

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its best results. Low settings average 127 FPS. Medium settings average 91 FPS, with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS. High settings average 76 FPS. Ultra settings average 49 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 78 FPS, and every step down from Low incurs a noticeable penalty. The Medium preset's minimum of 78 FPS is well above the playable threshold, which indicates stable frame delivery.

At 2560x1440, performance drops substantially across all presets. Low settings average 92 FPS. Medium settings average 66 FPS, with a minimum of 56 FPS and a maximum of 76 FPS. High settings average 55 FPS. Ultra settings average 35 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 56 FPS is below the 60 FPS line, so while the average is playable, the frame delivery is not perfectly consistent. The gap between Low and Medium is 26 FPS, and the gap between High and Ultra is 20 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the combo falls below the playable threshold on every preset. Low settings average 58 FPS, just short of 60. Medium settings average 42 FPS, with a minimum of 36 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High settings average 35 FPS. Ultra settings average 22 FPS. The Medium preset shows a 12 FPS swing between minimum and maximum, which means frame pacing is inconsistent even at these low averages. The resolution scaling from 1440p to 4K is severe: Low drops from 92 to 58 FPS, Medium drops from 66 to 42 FPS, High drops from 55 to 35 FPS, and Ultra drops from 35 to 22 FPS.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are High, with an average of 76 FPS. Ultra averages 49 FPS and is not playable by the 60 FPS standard. Medium and Low are also playable, but High provides the highest visual quality among the playable presets. The High preset's 76 FPS average gives a comfortable margin above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, the best playable settings are Medium, with an average of 66 FPS. Low is also playable at 92 FPS, but Medium offers higher quality. High averages 55 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. It is worth remembering the Medium preset has a recorded minimum of 56 FPS, so while the average is playable, there will be moments where the frame rate dips below 60.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The closest is Low at 58 FPS average, which is 2 FPS short of the threshold. Medium averages 42 FPS, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. Users who want to run this game at 4K with this combo would need to accept frame rates below the playable standard or reduce the resolution. The database's verdict confirms this: 4K has no playable settings, 1440p has Low and Medium as playable, and 1080p has High, Low, and Medium as playable.
