GPU Role

The Radeon RX 7900 XT is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain the high frame rates observed. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1387 MHz and a boost clock of 2394 MHz, with a game clock rated at 2025 MHz. This RDNA 3.0 architecture chip, built on a 5 nm process, contains 57,700 million transistors on a 529 mm² die.

The 20 GB GDDR6 memory pool is a key asset for Undisputed. With a memory clock of 2500 MHz (20 Gbps effective) and a 320-bit bus, the 800.0 GB/s bandwidth prevents memory bottlenecks even at 4K resolution. The GPU's 5376 shading units and 192 ROPs handle the game's rendering demands effectively, producing a pixel rate of 459.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 804.4 GTexel/s.

The FP32 performance of 51.48 TFLOPS is substantial, and the GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which includes features relevant to modern sports titles. The 84 RT cores provide ray tracing capabilities, though the measured FPS data suggests the game's workload is primarily rasterization-based, given the high scores at all presets. The GPU's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface pairs with the CPU's Gen 3 support, though the benchmark results indicate this does not create a meaningful performance limitation in this title.

The relationship between clock speed and frame rate is clear in the data. The RX 7900 XT's boost behavior allows it to scale from 73 FPS at 4K Ultra to 404.9 FPS at 1080p Low. The GPU's thermal design power of 300 W and dual-slot cooler are sufficient for sustained performance, as the measured FPS values show no signs of throttling-induced variance since min and max FPS fields are null.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 5500 and RX 7900 XT achieves a rank of 324 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the upper quintile of all tested configurations, which is notable given the CPU's relatively modest specifications compared to the GPU.

The CPU's benchmark scores show it is a mid-range processor. Its 3DMark single-thread score is 836, and its multi-thread score reaches 5411 at max threads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 16429 indicates solid productivity performance, but the CPU trails the Intel Core i5-12500 by 0.1% in average benchmark score (20875 vs 20897). The 1% deltaPct values against its nearest rivals—including the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE (0.1% below) and Intel Core i5-12600T (0.2% below)—suggest the CPU is evenly matched with its direct competitors.

The GPU, by contrast, performs at a much higher level. Its average benchmark score of 38358 places it within 0.3% of the NVIDIA CMP 70HX (38225) and 0.6% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135). The PassMark G3D score of 29009 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5623 confirm its high-end positioning.

The in-game rank of 324/1580 suggests that Undisputed is more dependent on GPU performance than CPU performance. The RX 7900 XT's 82nd percentile ranking among all GPUs is reflected in the high frame rates, while the CPU's 79th percentile ranking does not drag down the combo's performance. The data indicates that this pairing avoids the common pitfall of CPU bottlenecking in this title, as the frame rates scale consistently with resolution and settings changes.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 154.4 FPS, which is well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate displays. The High preset at 242.5 FPS offers a substantial increase for competitive play, while Low at 404.9 FPS is excessive for most users.

At 2560x1440, the High preset produces 176.9 FPS, making it the best balance between visual quality and performance. The Medium preset at 212.4 FPS is also viable, but the jump from Medium to High results in a 35.5 FPS drop while providing better visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 111.7 FPS remains playable on 144Hz monitors but sacrifices some smoothness.

For 3840x2160, the High preset at 109.5 FPS is the recommended choice. The Medium preset at 135.1 FPS offers higher performance but with reduced visual quality, while Ultra at 73 FPS is borderline for 60Hz displays but may cause noticeable stutter on higher refresh rates.

The data suggests that the High preset is the sweet spot across all resolutions. It provides the most consistent experience relative to the settings hierarchy, with frame rates of 242.5, 176.9, and 109.5 FPS at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. Players prioritizing maximum frame rates should consider the Medium preset, which offers a 19.3% increase over High at 1080p (289.2 vs 242.5 FPS) but with diminishing returns at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 404.9 FPS, followed by Medium at 289.2 FPS, High at 242.5 FPS, and Ultra at 154.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 250.5 FPS, indicating the game's settings have a major impact on GPU load at this resolution.

The 2560x1440 results show a similar pattern but with lower absolute values. Low averages 293.2 FPS, Medium reaches 212.4 FPS, High hits 176.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 111.7 FPS. The relative scaling from Low to Ultra is consistent with the 1080p results, showing a 61.9% reduction in frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the performance remains strong but the settings impact becomes more pronounced. Low averages 182.7 FPS, Medium achieves 135.1 FPS, High produces 109.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 73 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration in the entire dataset that falls below 100 FPS, highlighting the GPU's limits when pushed to maximum settings at 4K resolution.

The scaling efficiency is noteworthy. From 1080p to 1440p, the frame rate drops by approximately 27-28% across all settings. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is approximately 38-40%. This non-linear scaling reflects the increasing pixel count and memory bandwidth demands at higher resolutions. The RX 7900 XT's 800.0 GB/s bandwidth appears sufficient for 4K High settings, as the 109.5 FPS average demonstrates, but the Ultra preset's 73 FPS suggests the GPU's compute resources become the limiting factor.
