GPU Role

The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves critical for Undisputed's high-resolution rendering. The GPU's boost clock of 2550 MHz and 10240 shading units deliver the raw compute needed for the game's physics-based boxing animations. At 4K Ultra settings, the combo produces 83.2 FPS, showing the GPU is handling substantial rendering loads. The 88th percentile GPU ranking indicates this card sits well above average, and its 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 performance provides ample headroom for the game's dynamic lighting and character detail. The 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores, while not directly benchmarked in this title's measured FPS, contribute to the Ada Lovelace architecture's efficiency. The GPU's 816.0 GTexel/s texture rate and 285.6 GPixel/s pixel rate explain why higher resolutions maintain playable frame rates. The 16 GB VRAM capacity ensures no memory-related bottlenecks at 4K, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from 132.3 FPS at High to 83.2 FPS at Ultra.

Resolution Scaling

Frame rates scale predictably across resolutions, but the patterns reveal where bottlenecks emerge. At Low settings, the combo delivers 474.5 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 347.7 FPS at 1440p (a 26.7% reduction), and further to 218.5 FPS at 4K (a 37.2% reduction from 1440p). This scaling pattern indicates the GPU becomes progressively more loaded as pixel count increases. At Ultra settings, the drop from 1080p (180.3 FPS) to 1440p (129.5 FPS) represents a 28.2% decrease, while moving to 4K Ultra (83.2 FPS) costs another 35.8%. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU effectively, as evidenced by the 474.5 FPS Low-setting result. However, the GPU's workload dominates at 4K, where even Medium settings (154.6 FPS) cannot match the 1080p High result (282.9 FPS). The scaling from Medium to High at 4K shows a 14.4% FPS drop (154.6 to 132.3), while High to Ultra costs another 37.1% (132.3 to 83.2), indicating the Ultra preset imposes significant additional GPU load.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 474.5 FPS on Low, 343.9 FPS on Medium, 282.9 FPS on High, and 180.3 FPS on Ultra. These results show the RTX 4080 SUPER is never the limiting factor at this resolution; even Ultra settings maintain triple-digit frame rates. The gap between Low and Medium (130.6 FPS) is larger than between Medium and High (61 FPS), suggesting diminishing returns as settings increase.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results remain robust: 347.7 FPS on Low, 249.1 FPS on Medium, 208.1 FPS on High, and 129.5 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p Ultra figure represents a 28.2% drop from 1080p Ultra, highlighting the increased pixel workload. At 3840x2160, performance becomes more moderate: 218.5 FPS on Low, 154.6 FPS on Medium, 132.3 FPS on High, and 83.2 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result, while still playable, marks the first time the combo dips below 100 FPS in this title. The measured data shows consistent scaling: Low to Medium costs roughly 29% of FPS at each resolution (1080p: 27.5%, 1440p: 28.4%, 4K: 29.2%), and the High-to-Ultra transition is consistently the most expensive jump.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p and 1440p displays, Ultra settings provide the best experience without sacrificing playability. At 1080p, Ultra delivers 180.3 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of all but the most extreme gaming monitors. At 1440p, Ultra's 129.5 FPS remains well above the 120 Hz threshold, making it the recommended preset for high-refresh displays. At 4K, the choice depends on the display's refresh rate. High settings produce 132.3 FPS, which comfortably drives a 120 Hz panel, while Ultra's 83.2 FPS suits 60 Hz displays. The data shows that Medium settings at 4K (154.6 FPS) offer a 16.9% improvement over High, but the visual fidelity difference between High and Ultra is likely more noticeable in a sports title with detailed character models. For competitive play at any resolution, Low settings at 4K (218.5 FPS) or 1440p (347.7 FPS) provide maximum responsiveness, but the combination's raw power means even Ultra at 1440p offers excellent performance. The optimal balance for most users is High at 4K or Ultra at 1440p.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5500's 6 cores and 12 threads, based on the Zen 3 Cezanne architecture, provide the foundation for this combo's performance. With a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost up to 4.20 GHz, the CPU delivers strong single-thread performance as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2319. The 16 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth support the GPU effectively, particularly at 1080p where the 474.5 FPS Low-setting result demonstrates the CPU's ability to feed frames rapidly. The CPU's 79th percentile ranking among all processors places it above average, though its nearest rival comparisons show it trading blows with mainstream options. The 3DMark results show scaling from 1645 (2 threads) to 5411 (max threads), indicating the 12-thread configuration handles multi-threaded workloads well. In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at resolutions above 1080p, as frame rates scale more with resolution than with settings changes. The PassMark multithread score of 19330 and single-thread score of 3058 confirm balanced performance. The CPU's PCIe Gen 3 interface, while not the latest standard, does not appear to bottleneck the GPU, given the high frame rates achieved.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 112 out of 1580 tested combinations, this pairing sits in the 93rd percentile, meaning it outperforms 93% of all tested configurations in Undisputed. This ranking reflects the RTX 4080 SUPER's dominance, as the GPU's 88th percentile ranking is the primary driver. The CPU's 79th percentile ranking is respectable but not top-tier, yet the combo's overall performance suggests the Ryzen 5 5500 does not significantly hold back the GPU in this title. The gap between the CPU's and GPU's percentile rankings (79 vs 88) indicates some potential imbalance, but the measured FPS data shows this only manifests at 1080p Low settings, where the 474.5 FPS result likely approaches the CPU's frame-generation ceiling. At 4K Ultra, the combo's 83.2 FPS places it well ahead of the vast majority of tested systems. The combo's rank relative to its 1580 total combinations means it outperforms approximately 1468 other configurations, establishing this as a high-end pairing suitable for the most demanding display setups. The data indicates that users with 1440p 144 Hz or 4K 120 Hz displays will fully utilize this combo's capabilities, while those with 1080p 60 Hz monitors are significantly over-spec'd.
