CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, based on the Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne). It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. The CPU's benchmark data shows a single-thread score of 836 in 3DMark and a multithreaded score of 5411 in the max-threads test, indicating solid per-core performance that scales well with additional threads.

For a sports title like Undisputed, the CPU's role is primarily to handle game logic, physics, and AI for opponent boxers. The data shows that the processor's performance is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at most settings. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 252.7 FPS, which far exceeds typical display refresh rates, suggesting the CPU can feed frames rapidly. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16429 places this chip in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, meaning it outperforms a majority of processors in general compute tasks.

The 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide adequate data throughput for the game's asset streaming. The processor's 65W TDP indicates efficient operation, and its 7nm process node from TSMC contributes to thermal headroom. In the context of Undisputed, the CPU is not the limiting factor; even at 4K Ultra where the GPU struggles with 45.9 FPS, the CPU has ample headroom to support the rendering workload.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with the TU104 chip, fabricated on a 12nm process at TSMC. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU's base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and its memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The card houses 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units, along with 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores.

The GPU's compute capabilities are substantial, with an FP32 performance of 9.062 TFLOPS and a texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s. In benchmark tests, the card scores 18169 in Passmark G3D and 98316 in Geekbench OpenCL. Its percentile ranking of 65 indicates it sits above the median of all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 22206 is slightly below the NVIDIA RTX A400's 22307, a delta of -0.5%.

In Undisputed, the GPU's VRAM capacity of 8 GB is sufficient for the game's textures at all tested resolutions. The data shows the card handles 1080p and 1440p resolutions with ease, producing 96.6 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 70.8 FPS at 1440p Ultra. The performance drop at 4K Ultra to 45.9 FPS indicates that the GPU's raw compute power becomes the limiting factor at the highest resolution and preset combination, though it still manages 70.1 FPS at 4K High, suggesting that a modest settings reduction restores smoothness.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 2070 SUPER achieves a rank of 976 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the lower-mid tier of the database, yet the actual frame rate data tells a more favorable story than the raw ranking might suggest. The rank reflects performance across all tested settings, and the system's lower-end 4K Ultra result of 45.9 FPS likely drags down its overall position.

When isolating the best-case scenario, the combo performs exceptionally well at 1080p, with the Low preset hitting 252.7 FPS and the High preset at 151 FPS. At 1440p, the system remains highly capable, with even the Ultra preset clearing 70 FPS. The ranking becomes less meaningful when considering that the majority of users will target 1080p or 1440p, where this combo outperforms many higher-ranked configurations. The CPU's average benchmark score of 20875 places it nearly level with the Intel Core i5-12500 (20897, delta -0.1%), and the GPU's score of 22206 is 2.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700, indicating balanced component pairing that avoids significant bottlenecks.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data spans three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive view of the system's performance envelope. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional results across the board: Low averages 252.7 FPS, Medium averages 181.4 FPS, High averages 151 FPS, and Ultra averages 96.6 FPS. Every preset at 1080p exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, and even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains nearly 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show a clear scaling curve. Low produces 182.5 FPS, Medium yields 129.9 FPS, High delivers 107 FPS, and Ultra drops to 70.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 111.7 FPS, demonstrating the significant impact of the Ultra preset's additional graphical effects. All presets at this resolution stay above 70 FPS, making 1440p a viable target for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the system begins to show its limits. Low averages 117.9 FPS, which is still excellent for 4K. Medium drops to 83.1 FPS, High falls to 70.1 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 45.9 FPS. The data reveals a consistent pattern: each step from Low to Ultra reduces the frame rate by roughly 30-40% at every resolution. The transition from 1080p to 4K at the same settings costs approximately 50-55% of the frame rate, highlighting the GPU's bandwidth and compute constraints at higher pixel counts.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering 96.6 FPS with maximum visual fidelity. The system has enough headroom that even the most demanding settings do not compromise playability at this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the High preset provides the best balance, achieving 107 FPS. While Ultra at 70.8 FPS is still playable, the High preset offers a significant 36.2 FPS advantage while likely maintaining similar visual quality in a fast-paced sports game. For users prioritizing maximum smoothness on high refresh rate monitors, the Medium preset at 129.9 FPS is also a strong option.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset is the only configuration that maintains a high frame rate, averaging 117.9 FPS. Medium at 83.1 FPS and High at 70.1 FPS are both playable and offer better visual quality, but Ultra at 45.9 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold. For 4K gamers, the High preset at 70.1 FPS represents the best compromise between visual fidelity and smoothness, as it stays above 60 FPS while providing more detail than Medium. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can run the highest settings with excellent frame rates, while 4K requires a reduction to High or lower settings to maintain a playable experience.
