Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination delivers a highly playable experience in Undisputed, with performance scaling predictably across resolutions and settings. The data shows a system that is clearly capable of high refresh rates at 1080p but begins to show its limits as pixel count and graphical fidelity increase, landing it in the 1273rd position out of 1580 tested combos.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, revealing a system where the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 127.1 FPS at 1920x1080 to 92.2 FPS at 2560x1440, a 27% reduction. The jump to 3840x2160 is even more punishing, with the average dropping to 54.7 FPS, a further 41% decrease from the 1440p figure. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 2060’s 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are being heavily taxed as the rendering load increases.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all presets. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 209.5 FPS at 1080p to 149.5 FPS at 1440p and then to 96 FPS at 4K. This suggests that even when graphical effects are minimized, the sheer number of pixels at 4K overwhelms the GPU. The RTX 2060’s 1920 shading units and 48 ROPs are simply not enough to maintain high frame rates at that resolution. The data implies that 1440p is the practical ceiling for this combo if a player wants to stay above 60 FPS in most scenarios, while 4K is only viable at the Low preset, where the 96 FPS average is achieved by sacrificing nearly all visual quality.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows provide a clear hierarchy of presets, with Medium offering the most balanced experience. At 1920x1080, Medium settings yield 152.5 FPS, which is 25.4 FPS higher than High and 69.3 FPS higher than Ultra. This suggests that the jump from Medium to High has a moderate performance cost, while the leap to Ultra is disproportionately expensive. The difference between Medium and High at 1080p is 25.4 FPS, but the difference between High and Ultra is a much larger 43.9 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU.

At 2560x1440, Medium settings deliver 107.2 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a smooth experience. High settings at this resolution drop to 92.2 FPS, still playable but with less headroom. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 57.2 FPS, which is below the ideal refresh rate for many monitors. For 4K gaming, the choice is stark: Medium yields 69.7 FPS, which is playable, while High drops to 54.7 FPS and Ultra falls to a stutter-prone 38.7 FPS. Given the data, Medium settings are the recommended starting point, as they consistently provide the most significant frame rate headroom without a major visual compromise when compared to the High preset.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, appears to be more than sufficient for the demands of Undisputed. The CPU’s base clock of 3.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz, combined with its Zen 3 architecture, provide strong single-threaded performance that is crucial for sports titles. Its 3DMark single-thread score of 882 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2584 indicate robust processing power that prevents the CPU from becoming a limiting factor in the tested scenarios.

The evidence for this lies in the frame rate scaling. At 1080p, where the CPU has to feed the GPU with more frames, the system achieves 209.5 FPS at Low settings. This high frame rate suggests that the Ryzen 5 5600 can handle the game’s logic and physics without creating a bottleneck. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache likely helps with data access patterns in a game that tracks multiple fighters and their interactions. The processor’s 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21765, places it in a solid position, slightly ahead of the Intel Xeon D-1746TER by 0.6% and just behind the AMD EPYC 9554P by 0.6%. In this game, the data shows the CPU is not the constraint; the GPU is.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 2060 ranks 1273rd out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the lower 20th percentile of all systems tested, indicating that while it is functional, there are many more powerful configurations that achieve higher frame rates. This ranking is a reflection of the GPU’s age and tier rather than a failure of the CPU. The RTX 2060’s 58th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16074, is significantly lower than the CPU’s 79th percentile standing. This imbalance supports the conclusion that the GPU is the primary factor holding the combo back in this game.

The GPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD Radeon RX 7600S, which scores 0.5% higher, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5700, which scores 1.7% higher. These small deltas in average benchmark scores suggest that the RTX 2060 is performance-competitive with its immediate peers, but the combo’s overall rank is dragged down by the fact that many other systems feature newer or higher-tier graphics cards. The data implies that to improve this combo’s ranking, a GPU upgrade would yield far greater benefits than a CPU change.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is the decisive component in this system’s performance. With a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz, it operates at frequencies that are modest by modern standards. Its 6 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming but becomes a limitation at 4K. The GPU’s TU106 chip, built on a 12 nm process, contains 10,800 million transistors and offers 6.451 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s role is clearly demonstrated by the FPS scaling. At 4K Ultra, the average frame rate plummets to 38.7 FPS, a 54% drop from the 1080p Ultra score of 83.2 FPS. This indicates that the GPU’s memory bandwidth and processing power are exhausted by the higher resolution and demanding effects. The RTX 2060’s DirectX 12 benchmark score of 53 and PassMark G3D score of 14111 provide context for its capabilities, which are adequate for esports-level play at lower resolutions but insufficient for high-fidelity 4K experiences. The data strongly suggests that this GPU is best paired with a 1080p or 1440p display for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured frame rates offers a detailed picture of performance. At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 96 at Low settings to 69.7 at Medium, 54.7 at High, and 38.7 at Ultra. This represents a 57.3 FPS difference between the lowest and highest presets, showing the extreme cost of Ultra settings at 4K. The 4K Medium score of 69.7 FPS is the only preset above 60 FPS at this resolution, making it the only viable option for smooth 4K play.

At 2560x1440, the performance is more comfortable. The Low preset achieves 149.5 FPS, Medium hits 107.2 FPS, and High reaches 92.2 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 57.2 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS mark. The transition from High to Ultra at this resolution costs 35 FPS, a significant penalty for the extra graphical fidelity. At 1920x1080, the system shines, with Low hitting 209.5 FPS, Medium at 152.5 FPS, and High at 127.1 FPS. Even Ultra manages 83.2 FPS, which is smooth for most displays. The 1080p results show a clear progression where each preset step down from Ultra yields substantial gains, with Medium being the sweet spot for high refresh rate monitors.
