Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers exceptional frame rates in Undisputed, placing this combination at rank 246 out of 3718 tested combos. This places it in the top 6.6% of all configurations tested for this title. The data reveals a setup that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU's six Zen 3 cores prove more than adequate to feed the powerful graphics card at 1080p, where the frame rates soar past what most displays can even show.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop reveals the system's bottleneck characteristics. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 sees average FPS fall from 479 to 346, a reduction of 133 FPS or roughly 27.8%. The subsequent jump to 3840x2160 brings the average down to 219 FPS, another 127 FPS drop, making the total scaling from 1080p to 4K a 260 FPS loss. This steep decline indicates that the graphics card is being pushed progressively harder.

For Medium settings, the scaling story is similar but with slightly different proportions. At 1080p, the average is 345 FPS, which drops to 249 FPS at 1440p (a 96 FPS decline) and further to 158 FPS at 4K (a 91 FPS decline). The spacing between each resolution step is remarkably consistent, suggesting that the rendering workload scales nearly linearly with pixel count. The consistent ~90-130 FPS drops at each step point squarely at the RTX 4080 as the limiting factor once the resolution increases beyond 1080p.

High settings introduce a more dramatic shift. The 1080p average of 285 FPS falls to 206 FPS at 1440p, a 79 FPS drop, but then the 4K average of 130 FPS represents a further 76 FPS decline. This pattern holds the same linear character, but the absolute numbers are lower, indicating that the increased shading and texture work is beginning to tax the GPU's compute resources more heavily. The difference between 1080p and 4K High is 155 FPS, which is substantial but represents a smaller percentage drop (54.4%) than the Low setting's 54.3% decline.

Ultra settings show the most constrained performance, with 184 FPS at 1080p dropping to 133 FPS at 1440p and finally 84 FPS at 4K. The total scaling from 1080p to 4K Ultra is exactly 100 FPS, a 54.3% reduction. This consistency across all four settings presets — with the 1080p-to-4K drop hovering around 54% — strongly suggests that the RTX 4080's rendering pipeline is the primary constraint, and the Ryzen 5 5600 is not introducing any CPU-side bottlenecks that would alter the scaling curve.

The data indicates that this pairing is well-balanced for high-refresh gaming at 1440p, where even Ultra settings maintain an average above 133 FPS. At 4K, the combination still delivers playable frame rates, but the gap between High (130 FPS) and Ultra (84 FPS) highlights where the GPU's limits begin to surface. The 4K Medium result of 158 FPS shows that dialing back just one notch from High provides significant headroom.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080's specifications align closely with the measured performance in Undisputed. The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the textures and geometry in a sports title like this. The Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, packs 45,900 million transistors into a 379 mm² die, delivering 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute.

The clock behavior is telling. The base clock sits at 2205 MHz with a boost of 2505 MHz, and the memory runs at an effective 22.4 Gbps. These clocks, combined with the 9728 shading units, 304 TMUs, and 112 ROPs, produce a texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s. For a game like Undisputed, which likely relies on heavy post-processing and shadow rendering, the 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores also contribute to the overall visual fidelity, even if ray tracing is not a primary feature.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its positioning. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields a score of 6567, while Geekbench Vulkan and OpenCL scores reach 263779 and 214739 respectively. PassMark G3D shows 34457, and GPU compute hits 20671. The RTX 4080 sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54247. Its closest rival is the RTX 4080 SUPER, which scores 54209 (a delta of only 0.1%), indicating that this is essentially the same performance tier.

The VRAM capacity of 16 GB is never likely to be a constraint in Undisputed, even at 4K Ultra. The data shows that the game's demands scale predictably with resolution, and the memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s prevents any obvious stalling. The fact that 4K Ultra still manages an average of 84 FPS suggests that the GPU's compute capacity — not its memory subsystem — is the limiting factor at the highest settings. The 320 W TDP and triple-slot cooler indicate a card designed to sustain high clocks under load, and the measured frame rates confirm it maintains performance without thermal throttling becoming evident in the numbers.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear hierarchy of experience across the four presets. At 1080p, all settings deliver over 184 FPS average, which means any choice from Low to Ultra will be smooth on standard 60 Hz or 144 Hz displays. However, the jump from High to Ultra costs 101 FPS (285 down to 184), a 35.4% performance penalty for the visual uplift. Given that both are well above refresh-rate thresholds, Ultra is the recommended choice for 1080p users who prioritize image quality.

At 1440p, the situation becomes more nuanced. High settings deliver 206 FPS, while Ultra drops to 133 FPS. For competitive play where every frame matters, High is the sweet spot, maintaining a comfortable margin above 144 Hz. Medium at 249 FPS offers even more headroom, but the visual trade-off may not be worth it for most users. The 4K resolution tells a different story. Ultra at 84 FPS is playable but leaves little room for dips, while High at 130 FPS is the clear winner for a smooth experience on 120 Hz displays.

The best experience per the measured rows is achieved at 1440p High settings, where the 206 FPS average combines the visual fidelity of High with a frame rate that exceeds all but the most extreme high-refresh monitors. For 4K, High settings at 130 FPS provide the optimal balance, as dropping to Medium only gains 28 FPS (reaching 158) but sacrifices noticeable visual quality. Low settings are rarely worth the trade-off, as even at 4K the 219 FPS average comes at the cost of significantly reduced detail. The data suggests that Medium at 4K (158 FPS) is the floor for a premium experience, while High at 1440p (206 FPS) is the overall recommendation for this hardware combo.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extraordinarily high across the board. Low settings produce an average of 479 FPS, which is likely beyond the refresh rate of any consumer monitor. Medium settings deliver 345 FPS with a minimum of 293 FPS and a maximum of 396 FPS, showing tight frame pacing. High settings reach 285 FPS average, while Ultra still manages 184 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 295 FPS, indicating that the CPU and GPU combination has massive headroom at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers remain impressive. Low settings hit 346 FPS, Medium averages 249 FPS with a 212-286 FPS range, High delivers 206 FPS, and Ultra drops to 133 FPS. The minimum frame rate at Medium (212 FPS) is still above the maximum refresh rate of most gaming monitors, suggesting that even the lowest dips remain imperceptible in real-world play. The gap between High and Ultra at 1440p is 73 FPS, which is substantial but both remain playable.

At 3840x2160, the performance scales down as expected. Low settings average 219 FPS, Medium hits 158 FPS with a 134-181 FPS range, High reaches 130 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 84 FPS. The Medium setting's minimum of 134 FPS is notable because it stays above 120 Hz, making it a viable option for high-refresh 4K monitors. The Ultra result of 84 FPS is the only measured average below 100 FPS, indicating that this is where the RTX 4080 finally meets its match in this game.

The data across all resolutions shows a consistent pattern: Low settings are overkill for any practical display, Medium provides the best minimum frame rates, High offers the best balance of quality and speed, and Ultra is reserved for users who prioritize visual fidelity above all else. The 4K Medium result of 158 FPS average with a 134 FPS minimum is particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrates that even at 4K, this combo can comfortably drive high-refresh displays when settings are moderated.

FAQ

*Q: Can this combo run Undisputed at 4K with high refresh rates?*

A: Yes. At 4K High settings, the average FPS is 130, which comfortably exceeds 120 Hz. Even 4K Medium maintains a 158 FPS average with a 134 FPS minimum, making high-refresh 4K playable as long as Ultra settings are avoided.

Q: What is the single best resolution and settings combination for this hardware?

A: At 1080p, the drop is 101 FPS (285 to 184). At 1440p, it is 73 FPS (206 to 133). At 4K, it is 46 FPS (130 to 84). The percentage loss is roughly 35% at 1080p, 35% at 1440p, and 35% at 4K, showing a consistent cost for Ultra quality.

Q: Is the 16 GB VRAM on the RTX 4080 ever a problem in this game?

A: The measured data shows no indication of VRAM limitations. Frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings, and even at 4K Ultra (which would use the most memory), the average FPS of 84 suggests the GPU's compute capability, not memory capacity, is the limiting factor.

Q: How does this combo rank relative to other tested configurations?

A: The combo ranks 246 out of 3718 tested combos, placing it in the top 6.6% of all configurations. This indicates it is a high-end setup for Undisputed, with performance that exceeds the vast majority of systems.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 features 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and boosts up to 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB of L3 cache. This configuration, built on TSMC's 7 nm process with 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die, provides a solid foundation for gaming workloads.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong single-thread and multi-thread performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 18309 multi-core and 2584 single-core. Geekbench shows 9158 multi-core and 1936 single-core. The 3DMark tests reveal scaling from 1737 (2 threads) to 5659 (max threads), indicating the processor handles thread scaling effectively. The PassMark single-thread score of 3256 and multi-thread score of 21541 further confirm its capability.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The measured FPS at 1080p Low — 479 FPS average — demonstrates that the Ryzen 5 5600 does not bottleneck the RTX 4080 even at extreme frame rates. If the CPU were the constraint, we would expect the 1080p results to plateau regardless of settings, but instead we see a clear gradient from 479 FPS (Low) down to 184 FPS (Ultra), showing the GPU is doing the heavy lifting.

The CPU sits at the 74th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20468. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (delta 0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (delta 0.2%), and AMD EPYC 9454P (delta 0.2%). This places the Ryzen 5 5600 in a competitive position, though its 6-core/12-thread design may limit performance in heavily multi-threaded scenarios. For Undisputed, however, the data indicates the CPU's six cores are sufficient, as the game likely does not scale beyond a handful of threads.

The 32 MB of shared L3 cache is particularly beneficial for gaming, as it reduces memory latency and improves data locality. The dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provides adequate throughput, and the PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes ensures the RTX 4080 has full bandwidth available. The CPU's boost behavior, reaching 4.40 GHz, allows it to respond quickly to single-threaded game logic, which is likely how Undisputed is optimized.
