Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a compelling 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, but the data reveals a clear ceiling at 4K Ultra. This combination sits at rank 905 out of 1580 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database, yet its frame rates suggest it is well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors at mainstream resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a dramatic and consistent drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 164.9 FPS at 1080p to 114.5 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 75.8 FPS at 4K. This represents a 54% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU is progressively becoming the limiting factor as pixel count rises.

The scaling pattern is even more pronounced at Ultra settings. The combo delivers 103.2 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 78.2 FPS at 1440p and plummets to 46.1 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only sub-60 FPS figure in the entire dataset, suggesting that this resolution and settings combination pushes the RTX 4060 beyond its comfortable operating range. The gap between 1440p and 4K at Ultra is a 41% performance loss, which is steeper than the 24% loss observed between 1080p and 1440p.

At Low settings, the scaling behavior reveals where the CPU begins to matter. The jump from 274.5 FPS at 1080p to 199 FPS at 1440p is a 27.5% drop, but moving to 4K Low yields 122.8 FPS, a further 38% reduction. The fact that 4K Low still produces over 120 FPS indicates that the GPU has ample headroom when visual effects are minimized, and the bottleneck shifts more toward the Ryzen 5 2600's six cores and twelve threads. The data suggests that 1440p is the sweet spot for this pairing, as it maintains high frame rates across all settings while 4K requires dropping to Medium or Low for smooth gameplay.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Undisputed at most settings but becomes strained at 4K Ultra. The GPU's boost clock of 2460 MHz and base clock of 1830 MHz are moderate for the 40-series, yet the 3072 shading units and 24 RT cores demonstrate that this is a mainstream part rather than a flagship.

The GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 236.2 GTexel/s texture rate are adequate for the boxing game's rendering demands. The measured results show that the RTX 4060 handles 1080p and 1440p with ease, but the 4K Ultra result of 46.1 FPS highlights a fundamental limitation. The 8 GB VRAM capacity appears to be a contributing factor at 4K with high-detail textures, as the frame rate drops disproportionately compared to the resolution scaling seen at lower settings.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its mid-range positioning. Its Passmark G3D score of 19545 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302 place it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 23321, a mere 0.6% difference, while the Intel Arc B580 trails by 0.7% with a score of 23021. This tight clustering indicates that the RTX 4060 is competitive within its direct peer group, though none of these rivals would change the fundamental 4K Ultra outcome.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a 2018-era processor built on the Zen+ architecture at 12 nm. Its six cores and twelve threads run at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost to 3.90 GHz, with 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU's 65 W TDP and 46.9 GB/s dual-channel memory bandwidth are unremarkable by modern standards, yet the benchmark results show it can keep pace with the RTX 4060 in Undisputed at lower resolutions.

The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11186 and single-core score of 1579 place it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. Its Passmark multithread score of 13160 and single-thread score of 2239 indicate a balanced performer that does not heavily favor either workload. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-1345U, scores 19691 on average, just 0.4% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U trails by 0.6% with a score of 19508.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes most apparent at 1080p Low, where the combo achieves 274.5 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the Ryzen 5 2600 can feed the GPU effectively when graphical load is minimal. However, the relatively modest single-thread performance compared to newer parts means that frame rates above 200 FPS may fluctuate in CPU-intensive scenes. The data shows that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at 1440p or 4K, as the GPU's workload dominates, but at 1080p with lowered settings, the processor's limits become more relevant.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers excellent performance across all settings. Low settings produce 274.5 FPS, Medium yields 197.2 FPS, High reaches 164.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains 103.2 FPS. All of these figures are well above the 60 FPS threshold, and even the demanding Ultra preset provides a smooth experience for competitive play. The spread from Low to Ultra is 62.4%, indicating that graphical settings have a substantial impact on frame rate at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results remain strong. Low settings hit 199 FPS, Medium produces 139.4 FPS, High maintains 114.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 78.2 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is still comfortably above 60 FPS, making this resolution viable for high-refresh-rate monitors. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 60.7%, similar to the 1080p spread, suggesting that the GPU's workload scales predictably with settings.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings still produce a respectable 122.8 FPS, and Medium maintains 90.3 FPS, but High falls to 75.8 FPS and Ultra drops to 46.1 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only sub-60 FPS figure in the entire dataset, and it falls 21% below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider minimum for smooth gameplay. The 62.5% drop from Low to Ultra at 4K is the largest relative spread across all resolutions, indicating that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute resources are saturated at the highest settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 905 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 57th percentile of all configurations. This rank reflects a mid-tier position that is consistent with the individual components' benchmark standings. The CPU's 77th percentile ranking is higher than the GPU's 66th percentile, suggesting that the processor is relatively stronger within its peer group than the graphics card.

The rank of 905 indicates that while this combo performs admirably at 1080p and 1440p, there are many configurations in the database that achieve higher frame rates, particularly at 4K. The data shows that the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are limiting factors at extreme resolutions, while the Ryzen 5 2600's aging architecture prevents it from matching newer CPUs in frame rate consistency at very high FPS levels.

Despite the mid-pack ranking, the measured FPS data tells a more favorable story. The combo delivers over 100 FPS at 1080p Ultra and over 75 FPS at 1440p Ultra, which are the settings most players would use with this hardware tier. The 4K Ultra result of 46.1 FPS is the only weak point, and it is a predictable outcome given the GPU's specifications. For players targeting 1080p or 1440p, this rank understates the actual gaming experience, as the frame rates are consistently smooth and responsive across the tested settings.
