Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination delivers a highly playable experience in Undisputed, with performance scaling that clearly identifies the GPU as the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The data shows a smooth transition from 1080p to 1440p, but the jump to 4K exposes the limits of this pairing, particularly at higher settings presets.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a classic GPU-bound scaling pattern. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 253.4 FPS, indicating that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well beyond typical display refresh rates. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 183 FPS, a 27.8% reduction, while 4K Low produces 114.4 FPS, a further 37.5% decline from 1440p. This progressive drop as resolution increases is the signature of a system where the graphics card is doing the heavy lifting.

The scaling becomes more dramatic at higher quality presets. At High settings, the frame rate falls from 147.3 FPS at 1080p to 109.5 FPS at 1440p (a 25.7% decrease), and then to 66.9 FPS at 4K (a 38.9% decrease from 1440p). The Ultra preset shows the steepest curve: 95.3 FPS at 1080p, 68.5 FPS at 1440p, and 41.6 FPS at 4K. The consistent pattern of larger percentage drops between 1440p and 4K compared to 1080p to 1440p indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are being saturated at the higher pixel counts.

At 4K Ultra, the 41.6 FPS result falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making this the only configuration where the experience becomes marginal. The 4K Medium result of 82.8 FPS is much more manageable, suggesting that resolution scaling is not linear and that the GPU's capabilities are best utilized with adjusted settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 provides a solid foundation for this pairing. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, the processor boosts up to 4.40 GHz from a 3.50 GHz base clock. Its benchmark results place it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21765. This is within 0.9% of the Intel Core i7-11700F, a comparable rival, and just 0.6% behind the Intel Xeon D-1746TER.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is evident from the 1080p results. At Low settings, the 253.4 FPS figure shows that the Ryzen 5 5600 is not a limiting factor at this resolution. The single-thread performance score of 882 in 3dmark_single_thread and 3256 in passmark_single_thread indicates strong per-core capability, which is important for a sports title that typically relies on a few primary threads for game logic and physics.

The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support provide adequate bandwidth for the game's data streaming. The 7 nm process node and 65 W TDP mean the processor runs efficiently, but the benchmark results show it can sustain high multi-threaded workloads when needed, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 18309. However, the data suggests that even at 1080p with a powerful GPU, the Ryzen 5 5600 does not bottleneck the RTX 2070 SUPER, as the frame rates scale consistently with GPU load.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 992nd out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the database, which is surprising given the high frame rates observed. The ranking reflects the fact that many newer and more expensive hardware combinations can achieve higher absolute performance, particularly at 4K Ultra where this combo scores only 41.6 FPS.

The rank is somewhat misleading when considering the actual gameplay experience. At 1080p, this combo outperforms most systems in the database with its 253.4 FPS Low setting result, which would place it in the top tier for competitive play. The 1440p High result of 109.5 FPS is also strong. The lower rank is largely due to the 4K Ultra result, which drags down the overall metric. The data indicates that this is a well-balanced mid-range pairing that excels at mainstream resolutions but struggles with extreme settings, which is consistent with its position near the 63rd percentile of all combos.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS across all resolutions and settings provides a complete picture of this combo's capabilities. At 1080p, the results range from 253.4 FPS at Low to 95.3 FPS at Ultra, with Medium at 182.6 FPS and High at 147.3 FPS. This shows a wide performance envelope that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS even at the most demanding preset.

At 1440p, the range narrows: Low produces 183 FPS, Medium 131.3 FPS, High 109.5 FPS, and Ultra 68.5 FPS. All four settings remain above 60 FPS, making 1440p a fully viable resolution for this combo, provided the user is willing to adjust settings from Ultra to High or Medium for smoother gameplay.

The 4K results reveal the GPU's limitations: Low yields 114.4 FPS, Medium 82.8 FPS, High 66.9 FPS, and Ultra 41.6 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra at 4K represents a 37.8% performance penalty, which is the largest single-setting gap in the entire dataset. This suggests that the Ultra preset includes effects that are particularly demanding on the RTX 2070 SUPER's 64 ROPs and 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the decisive component in this pairing, as the resolution scaling analysis clearly demonstrates. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, the GPU is well-equipped for 1080p and 1440p gaming. Its Turing architecture includes 2560 shading units and 40 RT cores, though Undisputed does not appear to leverage ray tracing based on the performance patterns.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average score of 22206. This is 0.9% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z and 2.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5700, but 0.5% behind the NVIDIA RTX A400 and 2.3% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Mobile. These comparisons show that the RTX 2070 SUPER remains competitive with newer mobile parts, but its end-of-life production status is reflected in its performance ceiling.

The GPU's clock speeds of 1605 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost, combined with a 215 W TDP, indicate a power-hungry but capable design. The 4K Ultra result of 41.6 FPS is the clearest indicator that the GPU's 8 GB memory capacity is insufficient for the highest quality textures at that resolution, while the 4K High result of 66.9 FPS is just above playable. The passmark_g3d score of 18169 confirms that the GPU is strong in traditional rasterization workloads, which aligns with the game's performance characteristics.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data suggests prioritizing 1440p with High settings. This configuration produces 109.5 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and provides a strong balance between visual fidelity and smoothness. The 1440p Medium preset at 131.3 FPS is preferable for users who want extra headroom for competitive play, while 1440p Ultra at 68.5 FPS is viable for those who prioritize visuals over frame rate.

At 1080p, the High preset at 147.3 FPS is the recommended choice, as it offers excellent performance with minimal visual compromise. The Ultra preset at 95.3 FPS is also playable and provides the best image quality at this resolution, but the performance gap to High is significant enough that most users should stick with High.

For 4K, the Medium preset at 82.8 FPS is the only sensible choice for a smooth experience. The Low preset at 114.4 FPS sacrifices too much visual quality, while the High preset at 66.9 FPS is barely acceptable and the Ultra preset at 41.6 FPS is not recommended. Users should avoid 4K Ultra entirely with this combo, as the frame rate falls below the 45 FPS minimum for comfortable gameplay.
