Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 pairs with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti to form a balanced foundation for Undisputed, a sports title released on October 10, 2023. The CPU, built on the Zen 2 architecture with a 7 nm process, provides 6 cores and 12 threads, running at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. In synthetic benchmarks, its multi-threaded performance is represented by a Cinebench R23 score of 15045, while single-thread performance reaches 2124 in the same test. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s are adequate for feeding the GPU in this title. The processor sits at the 76th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 18129. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-11400, scores 18150, a negligible delta of -0.1%, indicating the Ryzen 5 3600 is essentially on par with that chip. Other close comparisons include the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS at 18101 (0.2% faster) and the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 at 18158 (-0.2% slower). For a game like Undisputed, which relies on consistent frame pacing rather than extreme thread counts, the 12 threads of this CPU are sufficient to keep up with the GPU without becoming a bottleneck at most settings, as the measured FPS data shows the combo delivering high frame rates across resolutions.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 5 3600’s configuration of 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, is a key factor in Undisputed’s performance. The game benefits from the CPU’s ability to handle the physics and AI calculations of boxing matches without stalling. In the 3DMark 8-thread test, the CPU scores 3844, while the max-thread score is 4603, suggesting that scaling is modest beyond 8 threads. This indicates that while the CPU has headroom for background tasks, the core workload for Undisputed likely utilizes fewer threads. The single-thread score of 696 in 3DMark and 2124 in Cinebench R23 shows that per-core performance is solid for a 3000-series chip, which is crucial for maintaining high minimum frame rates in a sports sim where quick input response matters.

The data shows that at 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 322.9 FPS, which is nearly triple the 123.8 FPS seen at Ultra settings. This spread suggests that the CPU can push very high frame rates when the GPU is less taxed, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher settings. The CPU’s percentile rank of 76 indicates it is above average, and its performance relative to the Intel Core i5-11400, with a delta of -0.1%, means users should not expect significant differences in CPU-bound scenarios. The 65 W TDP and 7 nm process node make it an efficient choice, though the actual power draw is not a factor in the measured FPS data. Overall, the CPU provides enough throughput to keep the RTX 3070 Ti fed at 1440p and 4K, where the GPU’s workload dominates, as evidenced by the frame rates at those resolutions.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Examining the measured FPS for the Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3070 Ti combo, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers an average of 190.9 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most standard monitors, while the Medium preset reaches 233.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 123.8 FPS, which is still playable but represents a significant performance hit for visual gains that may be marginal in a fast-paced sports title. For 1080p, the High preset is the best balance, as it provides a high frame rate with the visual fidelity of the High settings without the steep cost of Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the High preset produces an average of 142.1 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors. The Medium preset hits 167.2 FPS, offering even more headroom, while the Low preset reaches 234.1 FPS, which is likely overkill for most displays. The Ultra preset at 1440p yields 92.5 FPS, which is smooth but begins to approach the threshold where some users might prefer higher frame rates. At 3840x2160, the High preset averages 91.7 FPS, which is playable for 4K, while the Medium preset hits 109.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 58.6 FPS, which is borderline for a competitive title. Based on the data, the High preset at 1440p is the recommended choice for a balanced experience, offering 142.1 FPS, while the High preset at 4K provides 91.7 FPS for those prioritizing resolution over raw frame rate.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip on an 8 nm process. It features 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1575 MHz, with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and memory running at 1188 MHz, effective to 19 Gbps. With 6144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, the GPU is well-suited for rendering the detailed character models and arenas in Undisputed. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for the settings tested, as the data shows no drop-off that would indicate memory limitations, even at 4K with Ultra settings, where the average is 58.6 FPS.

The GPU’s performance in synthetic tests includes a Passmark G3D score of 23356 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 137518. Its percentile rank of 74 among all GPUs places it above the median, and its average benchmark score of 30849 is close to the AMD Radeon RX 6700, which scores 31112, a delta of -0.8%. This indicates that the RTX 3070 Ti is a strong performer for this generation. In Undisputed, the GPU’s role is dominant at higher resolutions and settings. The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern: at 1080p Low, the GPU pushes 322.9 FPS, but this drops to 123.8 FPS at Ultra, showing the impact of increased graphical load. At 4K, the GPU is the clear bottleneck, as the CPU can likely deliver higher frame rates than the 91.7 FPS seen at High settings. The 8 GB VRAM and high bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s help maintain consistent performance across the tested presets, with no anomalous dips in the average FPS figures. The GPU’s TDP of 290 W and suggested PSU of 600 W are specifications for system builders, but they do not directly affect the measured game performance.
