The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 delivers a solid, playable experience across most settings in Undisputed, with the sweet spot clearly at 1080p Medium where the average frame rate reaches 181 FPS with a minimum of 154 FPS. This combination ranks 1633rd out of 2813 tested combos for this game, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database, and the measured data shows a system that can handle high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, though 4K Ultra pushes it to the edge of playability.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of which preset offers the best experience for this CPU-GPU pairing. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an average of 181 FPS with a minimum of 154 FPS and a maximum of 208 FPS, making it the most balanced choice for competitive play where frame consistency matters. The High preset at the same resolution reaches 150 FPS average, which is still excellent, but the Medium preset's 181 FPS average and tighter minimum frame rate give it a noticeable advantage for maintaining smooth gameplay during intense boxing exchanges.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset again stands out with an average of 131 FPS, a minimum of 111 FPS, and a maximum of 151 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a fluid experience for most players. The High preset at 1440p drops to 108 FPS average, which remains playable, but the Medium preset's higher minimum frame rate of 111 FPS compared to the unknown minimum for High suggests better frame pacing. For players with 1440p monitors, Medium is the recommended starting point, with High as a viable alternative if visual fidelity takes priority over the extra frame headroom.

At 3840x2160, the situation changes significantly. The Medium preset averages 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS, which is the only 4K preset that maintains a minimum above 60 FPS. The High preset averages 69 FPS, which is technically playable but leaves less headroom for dips. The Low preset at 4K reaches 115 FPS average, but the visual downgrade is substantial. For 4K users, Medium is the clear recommendation, as it balances the 83 FPS average with the 70 FPS minimum, ensuring the experience stays smooth even during demanding scenes.

The Ultra preset is the outlier across all resolutions. At 1080p it averages 97 FPS, at 1440p it drops to 70 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 44 FPS. While the 1080p Ultra result is playable, the diminishing returns from Medium to Ultra are significant—the jump from Medium to Ultra costs roughly 84 FPS at 1080p (from 181 to 97). Given that the minimum FPS data is only available for Medium presets in the measured rows, the recommendation is to prioritize Medium for the best combination of frame rate and visual quality, with High as the choice for those who prefer enhanced graphics over peak performance.

In the context of Undisputed, the GPU's role is evident in the resolution scaling data. Moving from 1080p to 1440p to 4K shows progressive FPS drops across all settings, indicating that the RX 9060 is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for this game's demands, as the measured FPS data shows no signs of memory-related stuttering or crashes across the tested presets. The RDNA 4.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 29,700 million transistors, provides the computational foundation for the 21.43 TFLOPS FP32 performance that drives the game's rendering.

The GPU's pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s are relevant for a sports title like Undisputed, which relies on character models and arena environments. The 64 ROPs and 112 TMUs handle the rasterization workload, while the 28 ray tracing cores support any enhanced lighting effects, though the measured data does not specify whether ray tracing is enabled in these presets. The 1792 shading units process the shader work, and the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensures sufficient bandwidth for data transfer from the CPU.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (codename Vermeer), built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and it offers 32 MB of shared L3 cache alongside 512 KB L2 and 64 KB L1 per core.

This indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600 is positioned at the top of its performance tier, essentially matching or slightly exceeding these competitors in aggregate benchmark scores.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes apparent when examining the FPS differences between resolutions. At 1080p, the Low preset achieves 252 FPS average, while the Ultra preset drops to 97 FPS. This wide spread suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor even at lower resolutions, as the CPU can push high frame rates when the GPU is not constrained by graphical load. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration is sufficient for the game's physics and AI calculations, as evidenced by the high minimum frame rates recorded at Medium presets—154 FPS at 1080p and 111 FPS at 1440p indicate that the CPU is not causing frame drops.

The boost clock of 4.40 GHz provides the single-thread performance needed for games that rely on one or two primary threads, and the 32 MB L3 cache helps with data locality. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is adequate for feeding the GPU at the tested resolutions. The processor's percentile ranking of 74 means it outperforms nearly three-quarters of CPUs in the database, which is a strong position for a mid-range chip. The measured FPS data aligns with this, as the system achieves frame rates that are consistently high across all settings, suggesting the CPU is not the bottleneck in this configuration.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling. At Low settings, the system moves from 252 FPS at 1080p to 182 FPS at 1440p (a 28% drop) and then to 115 FPS at 4K (a 37% drop from 1440p). This indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the FPS decreases proportionally with the increase in pixel count. The Low preset's high frame rates at 1080p demonstrate that the CPU can sustain very high FPS when the GPU is lightly loaded.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar but with a slightly different pattern: 181 FPS at 1080p drops to 131 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 83 FPS at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). The minimum FPS values at Medium—154 at 1080p, 111 at 1440p, and 70 at 4K—show that the system maintains a consistent frame floor across resolutions, with the 4K minimum of 70 FPS still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold.

High settings show a steeper decline: 150 FPS at 1080p falls to 108 FPS at 1440p (a 28% drop) and then to 69 FPS at 4K (a 36% drop from 1440p). The 4K High result at 69 FPS is the closest to the edge of playability, as any significant scene complexity could push it below 60 FPS. Ultra settings exhibit the most dramatic scaling: 97 FPS at 1080p drops to 70 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 44 FPS at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result at 44 FPS is not recommended for smooth gameplay, as it falls well below the 60 FPS standard.

The consistent ~28% drop from 1080p to 1440p and ~36-37% drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings indicates that the scaling is driven by pixel count rather than any specific game feature. This points to the GPU as the limiting component, as the CPU's performance does not change with resolution. The RX 9060's 8 GB VRAM and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to handle the increasing memory demands at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the fact that the FPS scaling follows the expected pixel ratio without anomalies.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The 1440p results show a similar pattern to 1080p but with proportionally lower numbers, consistent with the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 115 FPS, which is impressive for 4K but still 54% lower than the 1080p Low result. Medium averages 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS, making it the only 4K preset with a minimum above 60 FPS. High averages 69 FPS, which is borderline playable, while Ultra drops to 44 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The minimum FPS data is only available for Medium presets, but the available values (70 FPS at 4K, 111 FPS at 1440p, and 154 FPS at 1080p) show that the system maintains a stable frame delivery at this setting.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual quality, with the highest minimum FPS values recorded. The Low preset at 1080p (252 FPS) and 1440p (182 FPS) is suitable for competitive play, but the visual downgrade may not be worth the extra frames for most players. The Ultra preset is only recommended at 1080p, where it still achieves 97 FPS, but the diminishing returns from Medium to Ultra are substantial—a 84 FPS drop at 1080p, a 61 FPS drop at 1440p, and a 39 FPS drop at 4K.
