Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination delivers a broad performance envelope in Undisputed, ranging from highly playable at 4K to exceptionally fast at 1080p. The data indicates a pairing where the GPU’s capabilities are the primary driver of frame rates, though the older CPU’s influence becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and higher settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a classic inverse relationship between resolution and performance, but the scaling factors vary significantly depending on the quality preset. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 285.4 FPS at 1920x1080 to 209.3 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 76.1 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 3840x2160 drops the average to 131.6 FPS, another 77.7 FPS decrease. This linear pattern suggests that at Low settings, the rendering workload scales predictably with pixel count, indicating the GPU is the dominant limiting factor across all tested resolutions.

The scaling behavior changes markedly at High and Ultra settings. At High settings, the transition from 1080p (172.5 FPS) to 1440p (125.9 FPS) is a 46.6 FPS drop, while the move from 1440p to 4K (79.6 FPS) is a 46.3 FPS drop. This is a consistent decline, but the absolute frame rates are lower than at Low settings, showing the increased graphical load is being handled by the GPU. At Ultra settings, the pattern shifts: 1080p yields 111.5 FPS, 1440p drops to 77.7 FPS, and 4K falls to 51.4 FPS. The 4K result is particularly telling, as it is the only scenario where the average FPS dips below the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that Ultra settings at 4K push the RTX 5060 to its limits.

The frame rate deltas between 1080p and 4K are substantial across all settings, which points to the resolution being the primary variable in performance scaling. The data shows that the RTX 5060’s 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle the increased memory pressure at 4K, as the frame rate drops are consistent with pure pixel-count increases rather than sudden collapses from memory exhaustion. This indicates the limiting component at higher resolutions is the GPU’s raw rendering throughput, not its memory subsystem.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 2000 series, based on the Zen architecture and manufactured on a 12 nm process. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 3.90 GHz are modest by modern standards, and the benchmark results confirm its position in the market. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11186 and single-core score of 1579 show that this CPU is a competent performer, but the PassMark single-thread score of 2239 reveals its limitations in lightly-threaded workloads.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role appears to be secondary to the GPU in most scenarios, but its influence is detectable in the frame rate data. At 1080p Low settings, the combination achieves 285.4 FPS, which is an extremely high frame rate that approaches the realm where CPU limitations typically start to cap performance. The fact that the 1080p Low result is so much higher than the 1440p Low result (209.3 FPS) suggests that the CPU is still providing enough throughput to keep the GPU fed at lower resolutions, but the gap between 1080p and 1440p at Low settings is larger than at other settings, hinting that the CPU is beginning to become a secondary constraint.

The Ryzen 5 2600’s 16 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 46.9 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for this game’s demands, as no sudden performance cliffs are observed in the data. The CPU’s percentile ranking of 77 against all CPUs puts it ahead of the Intel Core i5-1345U by 0.6% and behind the Intel Core i7-10700F by 0.7%, indicating it sits in a tightly competitive mid-range band. However, the data shows that even with this CPU’s age, the RTX 5060 is the primary driver of the high frame rates observed in this benchmark.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the clear performance leader in this combination, and its specifications explain why. The GPU features 3840 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, paired with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The boost clock of 2497 MHz and base clock of 2280 MHz are high for a mainstream GPU, and the FP32 performance of 19.18 TFLOPS shows this is a capable compute part.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s performance is the dominant factor in the measured results. The PassMark G3D score of 20891 places it in the 73rd percentile among all GPUs, and its nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT with a delta of 0% and the AMD Radeon RX 570 with a delta of -0.2%. This indicates the RTX 5060 is performing exactly as expected for its class. The GPU’s 5 nm process node and Blackwell 2.0 architecture contribute to its efficiency, allowing it to sustain high clock speeds without excessive power draw.

The VRAM capacity of 8 GB is sufficient for the tested settings, as the frame rates at 4K Ultra (51.4 FPS) show a significant but not catastrophic drop from 1440p Ultra (77.7 FPS). This suggests the GPU is bandwidth-bound at 4K rather than capacity-bound. The 30 RT cores and 120 tensor cores provide additional capabilities that may be utilized by the game, though the measured data does not isolate their specific impact. Overall, the GPU’s specifications align with the observed performance, confirming it as the primary component determining frame rates in this test.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four quality settings. At 1920x1080, the Low setting achieves an average of 285.4 FPS, which is the highest score in the entire dataset. The Medium setting delivers 204.9 FPS, while High produces 172.5 FPS. The Ultra setting at 1080p yields 111.5 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Moving to 2560x1440, the Low setting achieves 209.3 FPS, Medium delivers 149.9 FPS, High reaches 125.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 77.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1440p shows a reduction of 131.6 FPS, which represents a 62.9% decrease. At 3840x2160, the Low setting achieves 131.6 FPS, Medium produces 97.3 FPS, High reaches 79.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 51.4 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only data point below 60 FPS, indicating that users seeking a consistent 60+ FPS experience at 4K should use High settings or lower.

The performance deltas between settings are consistent across resolutions. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 173.9 FPS; at 1440p, it is 131.6 FPS; and at 4K, it is 80.2 FPS. This diminishing absolute delta at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor, as the relative cost of Ultra settings becomes more pronounced at higher pixel counts. The data shows that the RTX 5060 can handle 1080p and 1440p with ease at any setting, while 4K requires careful setting selection to maintain high frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 achieves a rank of 778 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top half of all tested configurations, specifically in the 49.2nd percentile. This ranking is notable because it demonstrates that a mid-range CPU from 2018 paired with a modern GPU can still deliver competitive performance in this game.

The CPU’s individual percentile of 77 and the GPU’s percentile of 73 both contribute to this ranking, but the GPU’s role is more significant. The RTX 5060’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, has an identical average benchmark score, indicating that the GPU is performing at the upper end of its expected range. The Ryzen 5 2600’s nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-11600KF with a delta of -0.6% and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U with a delta of 0.6%, show that the CPU is also well-positioned within its performance class.

The rank of 778 out of 1580 suggests that this combination is a balanced pairing, where neither component is severely bottlenecking the other. The high frame rates at 1080p, particularly the 285.4 FPS Low result, indicate that the CPU is not holding back the GPU in most scenarios. The 4K Ultra result of 51.4 FPS, while the lowest in the dataset, is still respectable for a combination that sits in the middle of the overall rankings. This combo proves that a capable GPU can boost an older CPU to produce playable results across a wide range of settings and resolutions.
