How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is placed at rank 360 out of 3718 tested combos in the database for Undisputed. This places the system comfortably within the top 10% of all configurations tested for this game, a strong showing that underscores the overall capability of the pairing. The high rank is primarily driven by the GPU's substantial compute resources, as the RTX 4080 sits in the 86th percentile of all GPUs.

However, the rank also reflects the significant headroom left on the table by the CPU. The Ryzen 5 4600G only reaches the 71st percentile among all CPUs tested. The delta between the GPU's high percentile and the CPU's more modest one suggests that while the combo is fast, its overall standing is held back from being even higher due to the processor's limitations. The data indicates that the system is exceptionally well-suited for high-resolution gaming where the GPU works harder, but its rank could potentially improve with a more balanced processor that allows the RTX 4080 to stretch its legs further at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, codenamed Renoir, and built on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its cache structure includes 64 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2 per core, with a shared 8 MB of L3 cache. This specification profile is typical of a solid mid-range desktop CPU.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role appears to be sufficient to maintain high frame rates, but it does not enable the absolute maximum performance of the system. The benchmark scores for the CPU show a single-thread score of 726 in 3dmark, which is a critical metric for game logic and physics. The multi-threaded score of 4889 in 3dmark_max_threads indicates that the 12 threads are available for processing. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 4863 is nearly identical to the max threads score, suggesting the CPU's scaling plateaus beyond its physical core count.

The data shows that even at 1080p with Low settings, where the CPU load is typically highest relative to the GPU, the combo still achieves an average of 413 FPS. This suggests the 4600G is not a hard bottleneck in this title, as it can feed the RTX 4080 enough data to generate these very high frame rates. However, when comparing the 1080p Low score of 413 FPS to the 4K Low score of 219 FPS, the frame rate drops significantly, indicating that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. The CPU's performance is adequate, but the system's overall speed is driven by the GPU's power.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo's performance across three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance. The Low preset achieves an average of 413 FPS, which is the highest score recorded. Moving to Medium drops the average to 345 FPS, with a minimum of 293 and a maximum of 396 FPS. The High preset still yields a very high 285 FPS average, while the Ultra preset, the most demanding setting at this resolution, produces an average of 184 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains extremely high. The Low preset averages 346 FPS. The Medium preset sees an average of 249 FPS, with a range between 212 and 286 FPS. High settings maintain an average of 206 FPS, which is still excellent for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 133 FPS, demonstrating that the system can handle the highest settings at this resolution comfortably.

At 3840x2160, the system's performance is impressive but shows a more pronounced impact of the GPU's workload. The Low preset averages 219 FPS, which is a substantial drop from the 1080p Low score. The Medium preset averages 158 FPS, with a minimum of 134 and a maximum of 181 FPS. High settings yield an average of 130 FPS, still very playable. The Ultra preset at 4K is the most demanding configuration tested, resulting in an average of 84 FPS. The data shows a clear and consistent scaling of performance across all settings and resolutions, with the system remaining capable of delivering high frame rates even at the most extreme settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this pairing, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and utilizing the AD103 chip on a 5 nm process. It boasts 9728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, along with 76 RT cores and 304 Tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz. Its memory subsystem is substantial, with 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s.

The GPU's role in Undisputed is to provide the raw rendering power, and the data confirms that it does so effectively. The RTX 4080's benchmark scores are stellar, with a 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6567 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 263779. These scores place the GPU in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, showcasing its high-end positioning.

The influence of the GPU becomes increasingly apparent as resolution scales. At 1080p, the frame rates are extremely high, but the difference between the Low and Ultra presets (413 FPS vs 184 FPS) shows the GPU's workload is already significant. This workload grows exponentially at 4K, where the Ultra preset drops to 84 FPS. The GPU is clearly the component that dictates the performance ceiling at higher resolutions and settings. The data indicates that in this configuration, the RTX 4080 is working as intended, providing a massive performance uplift, but its full potential is somewhat constrained by the CPU at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data suggests that the optimal experience for this combo depends heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. For players using a 1080p display, the High preset is the clear choice. It delivers an average of 285 FPS, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor, and it offers a significant visual upgrade over the Medium preset's 345 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p, while still excellent at 184 FPS, may not be necessary for competitive play and could be used for a more visually rich experience.

At 1440p, the High preset is again the recommended setting. The average of 206 FPS is ideal for high-refresh-rate gaming at this resolution, and it strikes a good balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Medium preset provides a higher frame rate of 249 FPS for those prioritizing frame rate above all else, but the visual difference is often less noticeable in a fast-paced sports game. The Ultra preset at 1440p, with an average of 133 FPS, is also a very playable option for those who want maximum visual quality.

For 4K gaming, the High preset is the sweet spot. The average of 130 FPS is excellent for a 4K display, and it provides a much better experience than the Medium preset's 158 FPS in terms of visual quality. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 84 FPS, which is playable but may not be ideal for all players, especially those on high-refresh-rate 4K monitors. The Low preset at any resolution offers the highest frame rates, but sacrifices too much visual quality for a game like Undisputed. The data suggests that the High preset offers the best overall experience across all resolutions, providing a high frame rate while maintaining a high level of graphical fidelity.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling of performance from 1080p to 4K provides clear evidence of where the bottleneck lies in this system. For the Low preset, the average FPS drops from 413 at 1080p to 346 at 1440p, a decrease of 16.2%. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the average drops further to 219 FPS, a 36.7% decrease from 1440p. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is becoming increasingly stressed as the pixel count rises.

The scaling pattern is similar for the High preset. The average FPS drops from 285 at 1080p to 206 at 1440p, a 27.7% decrease. From 1440p to 4K, the average drops to 130 FPS, a 36.9% decrease. This consistent pattern of significant frame rate drops with each resolution increase is a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario. The RTX 4080 is working harder and harder to fill the additional pixels.

However, the data also reveals the CPU's impact. The fact that the system can achieve 413 FPS at 1080p Low suggests that the CPU is capable of high instruction throughput. Yet, the frame rate differences between resolutions are not perfectly linear, and the CPU's influence is most likely seen at the lower resolutions where the GPU has more headroom. The 1080p High score of 285 FPS is lower than the 1440p Low score of 346 FPS, which highlights how much the settings preset impacts the GPU workload. The analysis of this scaling confirms that the RTX 4080 is the primary limiting factor in this configuration at higher resolutions, while the Ryzen 5 4600G is sufficient to support high frame rates but prevents the system from reaching the absolute peak potential of the GPU at lower resolutions.
