Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 delivers a broadly playable experience in Undisputed, but the data reveals a clear performance ceiling at higher resolutions and settings. This combination sits at rank 2933 out of 3718 tested combos, placing it in the lower half of the database. The measured frames per second (FPS) tell a story of a system that excels at 1080p and handles 1440p well, yet struggles to maintain smooth gameplay at 4K with maximum settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable and steep decline as resolution increases, which is typical for a system where the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck. At 1080p with High settings, the combo achieves an average of 124 FPS. Moving to 1440p with the same High settings drops the average to 90 FPS, a reduction of 34 FPS or roughly 27%. Pushing further to 4K with High settings yields an average of only 57 FPS, which is a 54% drop from the 1080p result and a 37% drop from the 1440p result.

This scaling pattern is consistent across all settings presets, but the magnitude of the drop varies. At Low settings, the system produces 209 FPS at 1080p, 151 FPS at 1440p, and 95 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is about 55%, which is nearly identical to the High settings drop. However, the absolute FPS numbers are much higher at Low settings, suggesting that the GPU is still the limiting factor even when the graphical load is reduced. The 4K Low result of 95 FPS remains above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play, indicating that the RTX 2060 has enough headroom to handle the game at lower presets even at the highest resolution.

The Medium settings row provides the only complete dataset with min and max FPS values. At 1080p Medium, the average is 150 FPS, with a minimum of 128 FPS and a maximum of 173 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 109 FPS, with a minimum of 92 FPS and a maximum of 125 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 69 FPS, with a minimum of 58 FPS and a maximum of 79 FPS. The min FPS at 4K Medium of 58 FPS is just below the 60 FPS mark, indicating that while the average is acceptable, there will be moments of noticeable stutter. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Medium is a 41 FPS drop (27%), and from 1440p to 4K it is a 40 FPS drop (37%). The consistency of these percentage drops across presets reinforces that the GPU's rendering capacity is the dominant constraint, not the CPU.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is built on the Turing architecture using a 12 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 445 mm² housing 10,800 million transistors. Its core configuration includes 1920 shading units, 120 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units. The GPU has a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz. Memory is a 6 GB pool of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, providing 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

In this game, the 6 GB VRAM capacity appears sufficient for the measured settings, as no settings preset shows a catastrophic failure that would indicate a VRAM overflow. The RTX 2060's average benchmark score is 15290, with a percentile ranking of 58 against all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (avg score 15283, delta 0%), the AMD Radeon 680M (avg score 15270, delta 0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (avg score 15199, delta 0.6%), and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 (avg score 15171, delta 0.8%). These delta percentages are minimal, indicating that the RTX 2060 performs nearly identically to these cards in synthetic benchmarks, though real-world game performance can vary.

The 4K Ultra result of 37 FPS is the lowest average in the dataset, and it highlights the GPU's limits. The jump from High (57 FPS) to Ultra (37 FPS) at 4K is a 20 FPS drop, which is a 35% reduction for what is likely a modest visual improvement. This suggests that the Ultra preset includes effects that are particularly taxing on the GPU's compute and memory subsystems. The GPU's pixel rate is 80.64 GPixel/s and texture rate is 201.6 GTexel/s, which are the raw throughput figures that govern how quickly it can fill the screen with rendered geometry. At 4K, the demand on these units increases quadratically compared to 1080p, explaining the steep FPS decline.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal balance of visual fidelity and performance is found at Medium settings for most resolutions. At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers an average of 150 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display, and it has a minimum of 128 FPS, ensuring no drops below the refresh rate of most monitors. High settings at 1080p still produce 124 FPS, which is also excellent, but the jump to Ultra at 80 FPS is still smooth and playable. For users with 1080p panels, Ultra is a viable option, as 80 FPS is well above the 60 FPS standard.

At 1440p, the Medium preset provides an average of 109 FPS with a minimum of 92 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. High settings at 1440p drop to 90 FPS, which is still playable but starts to approach the threshold where frame pacing issues might become noticeable on 144 Hz displays. Ultra at 1440p yields 58 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS ideal and is not recommended for consistent smoothness. The data indicates that Medium is the sweet spot for 1440p, as it maintains high averages and a minimum above 90 FPS.

For 4K, the choices are more constrained. Low settings produce 95 FPS, which is playable, but the visual quality is significantly reduced. Medium settings produce an average of 69 FPS, but the minimum of 58 FPS means there will be occasional dips below the 60 FPS threshold. High settings at 4K average 57 FPS, which is borderline, and Ultra at 37 FPS is not recommended for any serious gameplay. The best experience at 4K is Medium, as it offers a playable average and only rare dips into the 50s, making it the only preset that balances quality and performance adequately.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset includes twelve measured configurations, spanning four resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 209 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p records an average of 150 FPS, with a minimum of 128 FPS and a maximum of 173 FPS. High settings at 1080p produce an average of 124 FPS. Ultra settings at 1080p reduce the average to 80 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers an average of 151 FPS. Medium settings at 1440p show an average of 109 FPS, with a minimum of 92 FPS and a maximum of 125 FPS. High settings at 1440p yield an average of 90 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p drop to an average of 58 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset reaches an average of 95 FPS. Medium settings at 4K provide an average of 69 FPS, with a minimum of 58 FPS and a maximum of 79 FPS. High settings at 4K produce an average of 57 FPS. Ultra settings at 4K are the lowest in the entire dataset, with an average of 37 FPS.

The progression across resolutions is linear for each preset. For example, High settings go from 124 FPS at 1080p, to 90 FPS at 1440p, to 57 FPS at 4K. Low settings go from 209 FPS, to 151 FPS, to 95 FPS. The medium preset, which has the most complete data, shows a clear step-down from 150 to 109 to 69. This data confirms that the system is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but 4K performance is only acceptable at Low or Medium settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Matisse, and manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

The CPU's benchmark scores indicate a balanced performer. In Cinebench R23, it scores 15045 in multicore and 2124 in singlecore. In Geekbench, it scores 7372 in multicore and 1536 in singlecore. The 3DMark tests show scaling from 696 in single-thread to 4605 in 16-thread and 4603 in max-thread tests. The PassMark multithread score is 17700 with a single-thread score of 2562.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU appears to be sufficient for the task. The game is a sports title that does not appear to be heavily CPU-bound based on the FPS scaling data. The fact that FPS drops consistently with resolution, rather than plateauing at a CPU limit, suggests that the Ryzen 5 3600 is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the system hits 209 FPS, which is a high frame rate that would stress even capable CPUs, but the fact that it scales down to 95 FPS at 4K Low indicates the GPU is taking over the workload. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 4605 and Cinebench R20 multicore score of 6318 show that it has enough multi-threaded throughput to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic without causing a frame rate ceiling at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination is ranked 2933 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 21st percentile of all systems. This is a below-average ranking, but the absolute FPS numbers show that the combo is perfectly capable of running the game smoothly at 1080p and 1440p. The low ranking is likely influenced by the large number of newer and higher-end GPUs in the database that produce much higher frame rates at 4K.

The CPU's percentile ranking against all CPUs is 71, which is above average. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i7-1260P (avg score 17007, delta 0.2%), the Intel Core i5-11400 (avg score 17067, delta -0.2%), the AMD EPYC 7573X (avg score 17070, delta -0.2%), and the AMD EPYC 7742 (avg score 16998, delta 0.2%). These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the Ryzen 5 3600 is statistically tied with these very different processors in average benchmark score.

The GPU's percentile ranking against all GPUs is 58, which is also above average. Its nearest rivals are the GTX 580 (delta 0%), the Radeon 680M (delta 0.1%), the RTX 3050 OEM (delta 0.6%), and the RX 7600 (delta 0.8%). The RTX 2060 edges out all of these cards in average score, but the differences are negligible. Despite this, the combo's overall rank of 2933 is dragged down by the fact that many other systems have significantly more powerful GPUs that can push higher frame rates at 4K Ultra. The data shows that this combo is a solid mid-range performer, capable of delivering high frame rates at mainstream resolutions, but it is not designed to compete with high-end systems at maximum settings and 4K resolution.
