Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti lands at rank 1139 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. That places this setup in the 72nd percentile of all combinations tested, which is a solid mid-pack result for a 1080p and 1440p-focused build. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is drastically holding back the other, though the data does reveal specific bottlenecks at higher resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

At rank 1139 of 1580, this combo sits comfortably in the upper-middle tier of tested configurations. The Ryzen 5 3600's avg benchmark score of 18129 places it at the 76th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 3060 Ti's avg score of 25120 puts it at the 69th percentile among all GPUs. The combo ranking is slightly lower than either individual component percentile, which suggests the pairing in Undisputed is modestly constrained by the interaction between the two rather than either part being a standout.

The CPU's nearest rivals show how tight the competition is at this performance level. The Intel Core i5-11400 scores 18150, a delta of just -0.1% from the 3600, making them effectively identical in overall compute. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS is 0.2% ahead at 18101, and the Ryzen 5 1600 trails by 0.2%. This cluster of CPUs within a fraction of a percent of each other means the 3600 is well-positioned for its generation, but not a leader. The GPU side shows a similar story: the RX 6700M is 0.2% ahead, the RX 6600 is 0.5% ahead, and the RX 580 2048SP is 0.7% ahead. The RTX 3060 Ti is essentially at parity with these rivals, so the combo's rank is more about how the pieces work together in this specific sports title than raw component strength.

GPU Role

The RTX 3060 Ti brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its GA104 chip runs at a base clock of 1410 MHz and boosts to 1665 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz and 14 Gbps effective. The card's 4864 shading units and 152 TMUs handle the geometry and texture work in Undisputed, while 80 ROPs manage the final pixel output at a rate of 133.2 GPixel/s.

The GPU's FP32 throughput of 16.20 TFLOPS is the raw compute that drives the physics and AI in boxing matches. In practice, the data shows the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the combo drops to 39.6 FPS. At 1080p Low, the same GPU pushes 231.4 FPS, which is well beyond what most displays can show. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for this game, as the measured FPS does not show a catastrophic drop that would indicate memory swapping at any resolution tested. The GPU's percentile rank of 69 against all GPUs means it sits above average, but its nearest rivals all score within 0.7% of it, so there is no meaningful performance gap between the 3060 Ti and its direct competition.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At High settings, the combo delivers 138.7 FPS at 1080p, drops to 97.5 FPS at 1440p (a 29.7% reduction), and falls to 61.2 FPS at 4K (a 55.9% reduction from 1080p). This scaling pattern is classic GPU-bound behavior: the framerate drops nearly proportionally with the pixel count increase, indicating the CPU has headroom to feed the GPU at all resolutions.

At Low settings, the picture changes. The combo hits 231.4 FPS at 1080p, 164.6 FPS at 1440p, and 107.6 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop is 28.9%, and the 1440p to 4K drop is 34.6%. The fact that 4K Low still produces 107.6 FPS shows the GPU is not fully saturated at lower settings, and the CPU's single-thread performance (696 in 3dmark single-thread) becomes a more visible limiter at these high framerates. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low is a 53.5% reduction, which is less severe than the High setting reduction, confirming that the RTX 3060 Ti has enough compute to handle Undisputed's simpler visual passes without being fully maxed out.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers playable framerates across all settings. Low settings produce 231.4 FPS average, which is far beyond any competitive need. Medium settings drop to 162.4 FPS, still very smooth. High settings yield 138.7 FPS, and Ultra brings the average down to 90.2 FPS. Every 1080p setting stays above 60 FPS, with the jump from Ultra to Low representing a 156.5% performance increase.

Moving to 1440p, the averages remain strong. Low settings hit 164.6 FPS, Medium delivers 116.5 FPS, and High manages 97.5 FPS. Ultra at 1440p produces 63.1 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold but not by a wide margin. The step from High to Ultra at 1440p costs 34.4 FPS, a 35.3% reduction, which is a significant visual-quality tax.

At 4K, the picture becomes more demanding. Low settings still produce 107.6 FPS, which is excellent for 4K. Medium settings drop to 79 FPS, and High falls to 61.2 FPS. Ultra at 4K is the only setting that falls below 60 FPS, with an average of 39.6 FPS. The gap between 4K Medium and 4K High is 18.2 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 21.6 FPS, showing that Ultra settings impose a steep penalty at this resolution.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Undisputed at 4K?

A: Yes, but only at lower settings. At 4K Low, the combo averages 107.6 FPS, and at 4K Medium it produces 79 FPS. At 4K High it drops to 61.2 FPS, and 4K Ultra falls to 39.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: The data shows 1440p as the sweet spot. At 1440p High, the combo delivers 97.5 FPS, and even 1440p Ultra stays above 60 FPS at 63.1 FPS. This allows for high visual quality without the performance compromise seen at 4K.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rival?

A: The Ryzen 5 3600 scores 18129 on average, which is 0.1% behind the Intel Core i5-11400's 18150 and 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS's 18101. The differences are negligible, so the 3600 is effectively tied with these competitors in overall compute.

Q: Is 8 GB of VRAM enough for this game?

A: The measured FPS does not show a sudden drop that would indicate VRAM exhaustion. At 4K Ultra, the 39.6 FPS result is more likely a compute limitation than a memory limitation, as the GPU's 448.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB capacity are sufficient for the tested settings.

Q: What is the GPU's performance relative to its rivals?

A: The RTX 3060 Ti scores 25120 on average, which is 0.2% behind the RX 6700M, 0.5% behind the RX 6600, and 0.7% behind the RX 580 2048SP. All four GPUs are within 0.7% of each other, so the 3060 Ti is at parity with its direct competition.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 1080p?

A: At 1080p Low, the combo produces 231.4 FPS, which is very high. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is a 28.9% drop, which is less than the pixel count increase, suggesting the CPU's single-thread performance (696 in 3dmark) begins to limit at these very high framerates.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosts to 4.20 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB per-core L2 cache provide the memory hierarchy needed for gaming workloads. Its 3dmark scores show a single-thread result of 696 and a max-thread result of 4603, indicating strong scaling across its cores.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 231.4 FPS, which is high enough that CPU overhead from the game logic and physics begins to matter. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15045 and single-core score of 2124 place it as a capable mid-range processor. Its PassMark multi-thread score of 17700 and single-thread score of 2562 show balanced performance. The CPU's 76th percentile ranking among all CPUs means it outperforms most processors in the database, but its nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average score, indicating it is not a class leader.

The CPU's 12 threads are more than sufficient for Undisputed's sports simulation, where the workload is primarily single-threaded for the game loop with some multi-threaded physics. The 3600's 3dmark 2-thread score of 1361 and 4-thread score of 2579 show that the processor can handle lightly-threaded workloads effectively. At 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly the bottleneck at 39.6 FPS, the CPU has plenty of headroom, as evidenced by the fact that lowering settings at 4K scales FPS significantly (from 39.6 to 107.6 FPS between Ultra and Low). This data confirms the CPU is not a constraint at higher resolutions, but it does become a secondary factor at 1080p Low where framerates exceed 200 FPS.
