GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain why it delivers such high framerates in Undisputed. Built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB202 chip, this GPU packs 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output units. The 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores provide substantial compute resources for modern game effects, even if Undisputed's sports presentation may not fully utilize ray tracing.

Clock speeds are notably high, with a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz. These frequencies, combined with the massive 32 GB GDDR7 memory pool, deliver pixel rates of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rates of 1,636.8 GTexel/s. The GPU's FP32 performance reaches 104.8 TFLOPS, with FP16 also at 104.8 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), indicating exceptional raw compute capability.

Memory bandwidth is a critical factor for high-resolution gaming, and the RTX 5090 D delivers 1.79 TB/s across a 512-bit bus. This bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and large frame buffers do not become bottlenecks at 4K resolutions. The measured results support this: at 3840x2160, the combo averages 157 FPS on High settings, 190 FPS on Medium, 264 FPS on Low, and 101 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 163 FPS, demonstrating how much headroom the GPU has even with demanding settings.

The GPU's 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs places it well above average, and its aggregate benchmark scores reflect its capabilities. The 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,326, Geekbench OpenCL score of 310,674, and Vulkan score of 376,915 all indicate strong performance across different API workloads. PassMark G3D score of 44,065 further confirms the GPU's proficiency in graphics-intensive tasks.

For Undisputed specifically, the data shows that the RTX 5090 D is rarely the limiting factor. Even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains an average of 101 FPS, which is playable on high-refresh-rate displays. The GPU's power envelope is substantial at 575 W TDP, requiring a 950 W suggested PSU, but the performance payoff is evident in the measured framerates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo spans three resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive picture of performance scaling. At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, framerates range from 222 FPS on Ultra to 508 FPS on Low. The Medium preset averages 416 FPS with minimum and maximum readings of 354 and 478 FPS respectively, while High averages 344 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the GPU is heavily underutilized, and the CPU's performance becomes more relevant.

Moving to 2560x1440, the framerates remain exceptionally high but show a predictable decline from 1080p. Low settings average 418 FPS, Medium averages 301 FPS (min 256, max 346), High averages 249 FPS, and Ultra averages 160 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces average framerates by roughly 18-28% depending on the preset, which is consistent with the increased pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, the combo still delivers impressive results. Low settings average 264 FPS, Medium averages 190 FPS (min 162, max 219), High averages 157 FPS, and Ultra averages 101 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is particularly noteworthy because it stays above 100 FPS despite the demanding combination of high resolution and maximum settings.

The data reveals interesting scaling patterns. From 1080p Low (508 FPS) to 4K Low (264 FPS), the framerate drops by 48%, reflecting the fourfold increase in pixel count. From 1080p Ultra (222 FPS) to 4K Ultra (101 FPS), the drop is 54.5%, showing that Ultra settings amplify the resolution penalty. The Medium preset provides the only complete min/max data across all resolutions, with 1080p ranging from 354 to 478 FPS, 1440p from 256 to 346 FPS, and 4K from 162 to 219 FPS.

These measured results demonstrate that this combo delivers playable framerates at every tested configuration. Even the most demanding scenario—4K Ultra—stays above 100 FPS average, while the least demanding—1080p Low—approaches 500 FPS, which is far beyond the refresh rate capabilities of most monitors.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the user's display resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver well above 200 FPS, so the choice between them comes down to visual quality versus framerate headroom. The Ultra preset at 222 FPS provides the best visual experience while still exceeding 200 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 1080p displays. Players with 240 Hz or higher refresh rate monitors could consider High at 344 FPS or Medium at 416 FPS for additional smoothness.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset at 160 FPS is sufficient for most high-refresh-rate displays, though those with 165 Hz or 240 Hz panels might prefer High at 249 FPS. The Medium preset at 301 FPS offers even more headroom for competitive play, while Low at 418 FPS is excessive for virtually all 1440p monitors. Given that the visual difference between High and Ultra is often subtle in sports games, High at 249 FPS represents a strong balance of quality and performance at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation becomes more nuanced. Ultra at 101 FPS is playable on 60 Hz and even some 120 Hz displays, but it leaves little margin for framerate drops. High at 157 FPS provides a more comfortable experience for 120 Hz or 144 Hz 4K monitors, with only a modest visual downgrade from Ultra. Medium at 190 FPS is the best choice for players who prioritize smoothness above all else, while Low at 264 FPS exceeds the refresh rate of virtually all 4K displays. For most 4K users, High settings at 157 FPS offer the best combination of visual fidelity and performance headroom.

The Medium preset's measured min/max values across all resolutions provide insight into framerate stability. At 4K, Medium ranges from 162 to 219 FPS, indicating a 57 FPS spread. At 1440p, the range is 256 to 346 FPS (90 FPS spread). At 1080p, the range is 354 to 478 FPS (124 FPS spread). These spreads suggest that lower resolutions produce more variable framerates, likely due to CPU involvement, while 4K keeps the GPU as the primary bottleneck and delivers more consistent performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 serves as the processor in this combo, bringing 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture codenamed Vermeer. This 7 nm chip from TSMC features a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and it connects via PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core provide adequate data locality for gaming workloads.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 5600 demonstrates balanced performance. Cinebench R23 scores are 18,309 multi-core and 2,584 single-core, while Cinebench R20 shows 7,689 multi-core and 1,085 single-core. Geekbench results are 9,158 multi-core and 1,936 single-core. The 3dmark tests reveal scaling from 882 single-thread to 5,659 max-threads, with intermediate scores of 1,737 for 2 threads, 3,313 for 4 threads, and 4,798 for 8 threads. PassMark results include 21,541 multithread and 3,256 single-thread scores.

The CPU's 74th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it above average but not at the top tier. Its nearest rivals in aggregate CPU benchmarks are all within 0.5% of its average score of 20,468, indicating that the Ryzen 5 5600 performs on par with a wide range of competing processors. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, AMD Ryzen 5 8500G, AMD EPYC 9454P, and AMD EPYC 7713 all cluster within a narrow performance band around this CPU.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU has excess capacity. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 508 FPS, which likely approaches the CPU's maximum framerate ceiling for this game. The scaling from 1080p Low (508 FPS) to 1080p Ultra (222 FPS) shows a 56% reduction, suggesting that the GPU becomes more dominant as settings increase. However, even at 1080p Low, the framerate remains extremely high, indicating that the Ryzen 5 5600 does not severely bottleneck the RTX 5090 D.

The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for Undisputed's sports gameplay, which typically does not scale beyond a handful of threads. The strong single-thread performance (882 in 3dmark single-thread, 2,584 in Cinebench R23 single-core) ensures that the game's main simulation thread runs efficiently. While a higher-end CPU might squeeze out additional framerates at 1080p, the measured data shows that this combo already delivers near-500 FPS at the lowest settings, well beyond what most displays can show.

The L3 cache configuration of 32 MB shared across all cores provides a reasonable amount of fast memory for game data, and the 7 nm process node keeps power consumption modest at 65 W TDP. The CPU's launch MSRP of $199 positions it as a mid-range option, but its performance in this pairing demonstrates that it can support a flagship-class GPU without becoming a significant liability in this particular game.
