Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination ranks at 784 out of 1580 tested combos for Undisputed, placing it in the upper-middle tier of all tested systems. This ranking indicates a balanced pairing that delivers a consistently smooth experience at mainstream resolutions, though it is not at the top of the leaderboard. The combo’s position reflects a system capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and solid performance at higher resolutions, with the primary bottleneck shifting as graphical load increases.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 784 out of 1580, this system sits just above the median mark, confirming that the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 5060 form a capable but not class-leading pair for Undisputed. The CPU alone holds a percentile rank of 79 against all tested processors, while the GPU holds a percentile rank of 73 against all tested graphics cards. These similar percentile positions suggest a well-matched setup where neither component drastically overshadows the other in this specific title. The rank indicates that while many high-end combos will outperform it, a substantial portion of tested systems—roughly half—will be slower or comparable. In practice, this means the combo is well-suited for players targeting high refresh rates at 1080p, but it will not dominate at ultra settings on high-resolution displays.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the clear driver of performance in Undisputed when graphical settings are raised. It features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 2280 MHz with a boost clock of 2497 MHz, and it has a pixel rate of 119.9 GPixel/s alongside a texture rate of 299.6 GTexel/s. These specifications translate directly into measurable frame rate differences: at 1080p, the jump from Low to Ultra settings costs roughly 175 FPS, which highlights how substantial the GPU’s workload becomes at higher presets. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game’s needs at 1080p and 1440p, but the data shows a steep performance cliff at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 48.4. This suggests that while the GPU has enough memory bandwidth for most scenarios, the sheer computational load at 4K Ultra exceeds what this mid-range card can sustain smoothly.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 208.4 FPS, which is nearly double the 111.2 FPS seen at Ultra, while still providing a substantial upgrade over the 287 FPS of Low. The pattern holds at 1440p, where Medium hits 149.3 FPS compared to 79.1 FPS at Ultra. Even at 4K, Medium maintains a playable 96.2 FPS, whereas Ultra falls to 48.4 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. For players with high refresh rate monitors at 1080p, High is also viable at 169.8 FPS, but Medium provides a larger safety margin. The data strongly suggests that Ultra is not worth the performance cost for this combo, as it sacrifices roughly half the frame rate for marginal visual gains in a sports title where responsiveness matters.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured results show a clear scaling pattern across settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the combo produces 287 FPS on Low, 208.4 FPS on Medium, 169.8 FPS on High, and 111.2 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the figures drop to 210.3 FPS on Low, 149.3 FPS on Medium, 127.2 FPS on High, and 79.1 FPS on Ultra. At 3840x2160, the performance falls further to 129.5 FPS on Low, 96.2 FPS on Medium, 78.9 FPS on High, and 48.4 FPS on Ultra. The data reveals that the gap between Medium and High narrows as resolution increases, but the gap between High and Ultra widens significantly. For instance, at 1080p, the difference between High and Ultra is 58.6 FPS, while at 4K, that difference shrinks to 30.5 FPS. This indicates that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed by the Ultra preset’s additional effects, which disproportionately impact higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals the limiting component. At Ultra settings, performance falls from 111.2 FPS at 1080p to 48.4 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 56.5 percent. At Medium settings, the drop is from 208.4 FPS to 96.2 FPS, a reduction of 53.8 percent. Even at Low settings, the drop from 287 FPS to 129.5 FPS represents a 54.9 percent decrease. This consistent halving of frame rates from 1080p to 4K across all settings indicates that the RTX 5060 is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions. The GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are being saturated by the increased pixel count and texture detail at 4K. Conversely, the relatively small FPS differences between 1080p and 1440p at Medium settings (208.4 FPS vs 149.3 FPS) suggest that the Ryzen 5 5600 provides ample headroom at lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, based on the Zen 3 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU’s benchmark scores show strong single-thread performance, with a 3dmark_single_thread score of 882 and a cinebench_r23_singlecore score of 2584. This is crucial for Undisputed, which is a sports title that typically relies on strong single-core performance for game logic and physics. The CPU’s multi-thread performance is also solid, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 18309, ensuring that background tasks and game threads do not cause stutters. In the measured FPS data, the CPU’s influence is most evident at 1080p Low, where the 287 FPS result is likely near the CPU’s maximum frame output for this game. At higher resolutions, the GPU takes over as the bottleneck, but the CPU’s consistent performance ensures that frame times remain stable, as evidenced by the smooth scaling from 1080p to 1440p across all settings.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combo for this system?

A: The data shows that 1080p Medium provides 208.4 FPS, which is the most balanced for high refresh rates. For 1440p, Medium at 149.3 FPS offers a good experience, while 4K is best limited to Medium at 96.2 FPS for playable performance.

Q: How does the RTX 5060 compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The RTX 5060’s average benchmark score is 30109, which is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT at 30097, with a deltaPct of 0. It is also 0.5 percent ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla M60 and 0.6 percent ahead of the RTX 5070 Mobile.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 5600 a bottleneck for this game?

A: At 1080p Low, the system hits 287 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited. However, at higher resolutions and settings, the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The CPU’s single-thread score of 882 in 3dmark suggests it is sufficient for this title’s demands.

Q: Why does performance drop so significantly at 4K Ultra?

A: The 4K Ultra result of 48.4 FPS shows that the RTX 5060’s 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for the maximum preset at this resolution. The GPU is the limiting factor, as even Medium at 4K maintains 96.2 FPS.

Q: How does the CPU’s multi-thread performance affect gameplay?

A: The Ryzen 5 5600’s cinebench_r23_multicore score of 18309 ensures that all 12 threads can handle background processes, preventing frame drops. The 3dmark_max_threads score of 5659 indicates adequate multi-thread headroom for a sports title.

Q: What is the significance of the combo’s rank of 784 out of 1580?

A: This rank places the system in the upper-middle tier, meaning it outperforms roughly half of all tested combos while being slower than the top performers. It confirms that this is a balanced mid-range setup for Undisputed, not a high-end enthusiast rig.
