Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 pairing delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Undisputed, with frame rates that scale predictably across the three tested resolutions. The data suggests a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, yet reveals the CPU’s capacity to feed the graphics card at lower settings. This combination ranks in the 1591st position out of 3718 tested combos, placing it in the upper half of all configurations, a strong showing for a mid-range pairing from the previous generation.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent pattern: performance degrades as resolution increases, but the rate of that degradation is highly dependent on the graphics preset. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 results in a drop from 308 FPS to 222 FPS, a decrease of 86 FPS. Moving further to 3840x2160 brings the average down to 141 FPS. This indicates that at 1080p Low, the system is likely not fully GPU-bound, allowing the CPU to push extremely high frame rates.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced at higher settings. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 183 FPS at 1920x1080 to 132 FPS at 2560x1440, and then to 84 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 54% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, which is a typical signature for a GPU-limited scenario. The Ultra preset shows the steepest absolute decline, starting at 118 FPS at 1080p, dropping to 85 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 54 FPS at 4K. This steep curve at Ultra strongly suggests that the RTX 3070’s compute and memory resources are the primary limiting factor, especially at 4K.

The data implies that at 1080p, particularly on Low and Medium settings, the CPU has enough headroom to prevent a bottleneck. However, the gap between 1440p and 4K at Ultra is only 31 FPS, while the gap between 1080p and 1440p is 33 FPS, showing a near-linear scaling that is typical of a GPU that is saturated at every resolution. The benchmark results indicate that the 4K Ultra experience, at an average of 54 FPS, sits right on the edge of playability, suggesting that users targeting 4K will need to adjust settings to achieve higher frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is the clear performance driver in this configuration, and its specifications align with the observed scaling. The GPU is built on the Ampere architecture and features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This bandwidth is a crucial resource at higher resolutions, where the demand for texture data and frame buffer space increases substantially. The fact that performance drops significantly when moving to 4K, especially on Ultra settings, points to the 8 GB VRAM capacity and its bandwidth being a potential constraint.

The GPU’s clock speeds are also a factor. With a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz, the RTX 3070’s performance is solidly defined. The 5888 shading units and 184 TMUs allow for substantial raw compute throughput, but the data shows that this compute power is not enough to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra. The 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are present for ray tracing and DLSS, but their impact on this specific title’s measured results is not directly visible in the average FPS numbers.

The benchmark scores for the GPU, such as a Passmark G3D score of 22214, place it in the 61st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals, according to the data, include the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, which has an average score of 17083, a slight 0.7% difference. This close competition underscores that the RTX 3070 is a capable but not top-tier card, and its performance ceiling in Undisputed is reached at 4K Ultra, where the 54 FPS average indicates the GPU is the definitive bottleneck. The 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is substantial, but the game’s demands at 4K clearly exceed what this configuration can deliver at maximum settings.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 achieves a combo rank of 1591 out of 3718 tested configurations in Undisputed. This places it in the 57th percentile of all tested combos, indicating that it outperforms the majority of systems in this game. The ranking suggests that while not a top-tier enthusiast setup, this pairing delivers a very solid and competitive level of performance that will satisfy most players.

The CPU itself, the Ryzen 5 5600, has an average benchmark score of 20468, placing it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, scores 20454, a negligible 0.1% difference, showing that the 5600 is still highly competitive in synthetic benchmarks. The GPU, with an average score of 17208, sits in the 61st percentile. The combination of a high-percentile CPU with a mid-range GPU is a classic pairing that yields a balanced system, but the in-game rank of 1591 shows that the GPU’s performance in this specific title is what ultimately anchors the overall combo’s position.

When interpreting the rank, it is important to consider that it reflects the combined performance of both components. A system with a weaker CPU but a much stronger GPU might rank higher in a GPU-bound game like Undisputed at high settings. Conversely, this combo’s strength lies in its consistency; it avoids severe bottlenecks at any resolution, even if it doesn't top the charts. The 1591 rank confirms the balanced nature of the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 3070, a pairing that offers a dependable high-refresh-rate experience at 1080p and 1440p without completely falling apart at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at how the system performs across different settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system is exceptionally fast. The Low preset yields an average of 308 FPS, which is extraordinarily high and suggests the CPU is the primary driver at this point. The Medium preset delivers 221 FPS, with a minimum of 188 FPS and a maximum of 255 FPS, showing a very stable frame time. High settings produce an average of 183 FPS, and Ultra still manages a very playable 118 FPS average.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but begin to show the GPU’s workload. The Low preset averages 222 FPS, a significant drop from 1080p but still incredibly smooth. Medium settings yield 160 FPS, with a min/max of 136/184 FPS. High settings average 132 FPS, which is ideal for a 144Hz monitor. Ultra settings drop to an average of 85 FPS, which is still a good experience for most users, but it marks a clear step down from the High preset.

At 3840x2160, the performance characteristics change dramatically. The Low preset still manages an impressive 141 FPS, indicating that the CPU can keep up even at 4K when the graphical load is light. However, the Medium preset falls to 101 FPS, with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 116 FPS. High settings produce an average of 84 FPS, which is right on the cusp of high-refresh-rate gaming. The Ultra preset, at 54 FPS, is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it the most demanding setting in the data.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend entirely on the target resolution and refresh rate. For users with a 1920x1080 monitor, the High preset at 183 FPS is an excellent choice, providing a significant visual upgrade over Medium (221 FPS) while still delivering frame rates that far exceed any standard 144Hz or 240Hz display. The Ultra preset at 118 FPS is also a viable option for those with a 120Hz or 144Hz panel who prioritize maximum visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the High preset, with an average of 132 FPS, is arguably the sweet spot. It provides a high level of visual quality while maintaining frame rates above 120 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz monitors. The Ultra preset at 85 FPS is also playable and offers a more detailed image, but the 47 FPS drop from High to Ultra is significant. The Medium preset at 160 FPS is a good alternative for competitive players who want to maximize frame rates, but the visual compromise may not be worth it for a sports title.

For 3840x2160 gaming, the data suggests that users must make a trade-off. The High preset at 84 FPS is the best balance of quality and performance, offering a playable and smooth experience. The Medium preset at 101 FPS is a strong choice for those who prefer higher frame rates, and it provides a more stable minimum FPS of 86. The Ultra preset at 54 FPS should be avoided for serious play, as it falls below the 60 FPS standard. The Low preset at 141 FPS is an option for maximum performance, but it will compromise the visual experience significantly. Therefore, the recommendation is to use the High preset for 4K, as it provides the best overall experience without dipping below the playability threshold.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 plays a supporting but critical role in this configuration. With 6 cores and 12 threads, it has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This 5000-series processor, based on the Zen 3 architecture, provides a strong single-threaded performance foundation, which is often crucial for sports games that may not fully utilize many cores. Its single-thread benchmark scores, such as 2584 in Cinebench R23, are solid and help ensure that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's frame generation.

The CPU’s role becomes more evident at lower resolutions and settings. The jump from 183 FPS at 1080p High to 308 FPS at 1080p Low indicates that the CPU is capable of pushing frame rates much higher than the GPU can at higher settings. This suggests that the Ryzen 5 5600 is not a bottleneck at 1080p, even with a powerful GPU like the RTX 3070. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps with data access, and the 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth is standard for DDR4, which is more than sufficient for this game.

However, the CPU’s limitations may emerge in specific scenarios not captured in the average FPS data. While it holds up well, the 6-core/12-thread configuration is not as future-proof as higher-core-count processors. The data shows that the CPU’s performance is highly competitive, ranking in the 74th percentile, with its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G, scoring just 0.2% higher on average. This indicates that the 5600 is not holding back the RTX 3070 in any significant way, and the bottleneck in most tested scenarios is clearly the GPU, especially at higher resolutions and settings.
