Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a remarkably consistent performance profile across the measured resolutions in Undisputed. At 1080p, the combination is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher presets, but the CPU's single-thread capabilities become a defining factor at lower settings. The data indicates a system that can comfortably handle high refresh rates at 1440p, while 4K Ultra remains the only configuration that pushes the hardware to its limits.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is significant and follows an expected trajectory for a mid-range GPU. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 164 FPS at 1920x1080 to 118 FPS at 2560x1440, a 28% reduction, and then to 71.5 FPS at 3840x2160, a 56% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This scaling pattern suggests that the RTX 4060's 8 GB frame buffer and 128-bit memory interface are sufficient for the game's demands, but the rendering load at 4K begins to saturate the GPU's computational resources.

Interestingly, the scaling at Low settings is even steeper. The system produces 274 FPS at 1080p Low, which drops to 197.3 FPS at 1440p (a 28% decrease) and then to 123.7 FPS at 4K (a 55% decrease from 1080p). The fact that Low settings show nearly the same percentage drop as High settings indicates that the bottleneck at lower presets shifts from the GPU to the CPU. At 1080p Low, the Ryzen 5 4600G's single-thread score of 726 in 3DMark becomes the limiting factor, as the GPU is capable of rendering frames faster than the CPU can feed it.

The most demanding configuration, 4K Ultra, yields only 46.5 FPS, which is a 55% drop from 1440p Ultra's 74.4 FPS and a 55% drop from 1080p Ultra's 103.2 FPS. This consistent ~55% reduction across all presets when moving from 1440p to 4K suggests that the RTX 4060's pixel throughput, rated at 118.1 GPixel/s, is the primary constraint at 4K. The data shows that 1440p is the sweet spot for this pairing, offering 118 FPS at High, which is well above the threshold for smooth competitive play.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process, is the dominant component in this configuration. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves adequate for Undisputed at all tested settings. The GPU's boost clock of 2460 MHz and 3072 shading units deliver a FP32 performance of 15.11 TFLOPS, which translates directly into the high frame rates observed at 1080p and 1440p.

The RTX 4060's benchmark scores reinforce its mid-range positioning. Its PassMark G3D score of 19545 places it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, and it sits within 0.7% of the Intel Arc B580 (23021 vs. 23021 adjusted) and within 0.8% of the AMD Radeon 760M (22999). This proximity to rivals in synthetic benchmarks is reflected in real-world results, where the card manages 103.2 FPS at 1080p Ultra. The GPU's memory clock of 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective) is a key factor in maintaining stability at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the 4K High result of 71.5 FPS.

However, the GPU's limitations are exposed at 4K Ultra, where the 46.5 FPS result falls below the 60 FPS threshold. This is not a memory capacity issue—8 GB is sufficient for this title—but rather a raw compute limitation. The RTX 4060's 48 ROPs and 96 TMUs, combined with its 15.11 TFLOPS, are simply not enough to maintain high frame rates with Ultra settings at 4K. The data clearly indicates that this GPU is optimized for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it delivers exceptional performance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal configuration for most users is 1440p High, which delivers 118 FPS. This setting provides a 44% improvement over 4K High (71.5 FPS) while maintaining visual fidelity that is nearly indistinguishable from Ultra at typical viewing distances. For users with 1080p displays, High settings at 164 FPS offer an excellent balance, as the jump to Medium only yields 194 FPS (an 18% increase) at the cost of visual quality.

For those prioritizing maximum visual quality, 1440p Ultra at 74.4 FPS is viable, though it represents a 37% performance drop from High settings. The data suggests that Ultra settings at 1440p are the highest configuration that maintains a playable frame rate. At 4K, High settings (71.5 FPS) are recommended over Medium (89.1 FPS) if visual fidelity is paramount, but Medium offers a 25% performance boost for those who prefer smoother gameplay.

The Low preset, while achieving 274 FPS at 1080p, is only advisable for competitive scenarios where maximum refresh rate is critical. The 67% increase from High to Low at 1080p (164 to 274 FPS) comes at a significant visual cost, and the data shows that the CPU becomes the bottleneck at this setting, as evidenced by the Ryzen 5 4600G's 3DMark single-thread score of 726. For the vast majority of players, High settings at 1440p provides the best experience per the measured rows, offering a 65% higher frame rate than 4K High with minimal visual compromise.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 4K with playable frame rates?

A: Yes, but only at lower presets. At 4K High, the system achieves 71.5 FPS, which is playable. At 4K Ultra, performance drops to 46.5 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU-GPU combination?

A: The data shows 2560x1440 is optimal. At High settings, it delivers 118 FPS, which is 65% higher than 4K High (71.5 FPS) while still providing excellent visual quality.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 4060 scores 19545 in PassMark G3D, placing it in the 66th percentile. It is within 0.7% of the Intel Arc B580 (23021) and within 0.8% of the AMD Radeon 760M (22999), indicating very similar raw performance.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 4600G a bottleneck for the RTX 4060?

A: At high settings and resolutions, no. However, at 1080p Low, the CPU becomes the limiting factor, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 726. This is evident in the modest 67% frame rate increase from High to Low (164 to 274 FPS), which is less than the GPU's potential.

Q: What settings should I use for the highest frame rates?

A: For maximum frame rates, use 1080p Low, which achieves 274 FPS. For a balance of quality and performance, 1440p High at 118 FPS is recommended. The 4K Ultra preset at 46.5 FPS should be avoided for competitive play.

Q: How does the 4K Ultra performance compare to 1440p Ultra?

A: 4K Ultra delivers 46.5 FPS, which is a 37% reduction from 1440p Ultra's 74.4 FPS. This represents the largest performance penalty in the tested configurations.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, plays a supporting role in this configuration. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.20 GHz provide adequate single-thread performance for Undisputed, as evidenced by its 3DMark single-thread score of 726 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1919. However, the CPU's 8 MB of shared L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are modest by modern standards.

The CPU's influence on frame rates is most apparent at lower presets. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 274 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame delivery capability. This is corroborated by the CPU's PassMark multithread score of 15992 and its 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs. The 4600G's nearest rivals, including the Intel Core i3-13100F (17665, -1% delta) and Intel Core i3-14100T (17636, -0.8% delta), show that the CPU is competitive with modern budget processors.

At higher resolutions, the CPU's role diminishes. The difference between 1080p High (164 FPS) and 1440p High (118 FPS) is 28%, which is a GPU-driven reduction. The fact that 4K High (71.5 FPS) shows a similar percentage drop from 1440p High suggests that the CPU is not a limiting factor at these settings. The CPU's 12 threads and 6 cores are sufficient for the game's threading model, as indicated by its 3DMark max-threads score of 4889.

The integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics, while present, are irrelevant when paired with the RTX 4060. The CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface (20 lanes) is sufficient for the RTX 4060's PCIe 4.0 x8 connection, as bandwidth limitations are not apparent in the data. Overall, the Ryzen 5 4600G provides enough computational headroom for the RTX 4060 to express its full potential at 1440p and 4K, while becoming the primary bottleneck only at 1080p with Low settings, where the system's 274 FPS remains highly playable.
