Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination delivers a playable experience in Undisputed, but the performance curve reveals a system that scales predictably with resolution. The data shows a clear hierarchy where the 1080p results are exceptionally high, while 4K pushes the hardware to its limits, suggesting a balance that favors lower resolution gaming.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a dramatic and consistent drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 124 FPS at 1080p to 90 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 57 FPS at 4K. This represents a 54% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the RTX 2060's rendering pipeline becomes the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. The GPU's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely saturated by the 4K workload, as the game's texture and shading demands scale with resolution.

The scaling pattern is not perfectly linear, however. When moving from 1080p to 1440p, the frame rate drops by 27%, but the subsequent step from 1440p to 4K causes a 37% reduction. This steeper decline at the highest resolution points to the GPU hitting a memory bandwidth or fill-rate wall. The RTX 2060's pixel rate of 80.64 GPixel/s and texture rate of 201.6 GTexel/s are fixed hardware limits, and the 4K resolution requires processing four times the pixels of 1080p, which explains the disproportionate drop.

Interestingly, the Ultra preset at 4K yields only 37 FPS, which is below the 40 FPS threshold often considered the minimum for smooth gameplay. This suggests that the combination is not suited for maximum quality at 4K, as the GPU's compute resources are overwhelmed. The Medium preset at 4K, with 69 FPS, shows a more acceptable result, but the difference between Low (95 FPS) and Medium (69 FPS) at 4K reveals that even modest quality increases have a significant cost at this resolution.

The 1080p data tells a different story. At Low settings, the system achieves 209 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited, as the Ryzen 5 5600F's single-thread performance (Passmark score of 2872) and 6 cores are sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. The gap between Low (209 FPS) and Medium (150 FPS) at 1080p is 28%, while the gap between Medium and High (124 FPS) is 17%. This diminishing return pattern indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more involved as settings increase, but the CPU still has headroom at 1080p.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 150 FPS average with a minimum of 128 FPS and maximum of 173 FPS, ensuring consistent frame times that are well above the 60 FPS standard. This preset provides a significant improvement over Low (209 FPS) in visual fidelity while maintaining a frame rate that exceeds most high-refresh-rate monitors' capabilities.

At 2560x1440, Medium remains the optimal choice, achieving 109 FPS average with a minimum of 92 FPS. This keeps gameplay smooth even during intense boxing exchanges, where frame drops are most noticeable. The High preset at 1440p (90 FPS) is also viable, but the 19 FPS difference between High and Medium may not justify the visual upgrade, especially considering the minimum frame rate data is only available for Medium.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the only sensible option for a competitive experience. The 69 FPS average at Medium is playable, while High (57 FPS) and Ultra (37 FPS) fall below the desired threshold for smooth motion. The Low preset at 4K (95 FPS) is technically playable but sacrifices too much visual detail for a sports game where character models and arena aesthetics matter. The data suggests that players should default to Medium for most scenarios, with High reserved for 1080p displays where the GPU has ample headroom.

The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution for this combination. At 1080p, it produces 80 FPS, which is respectable, but the visual difference from High (124 FPS) is likely minimal in a game with stylized graphics. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 58 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 37 FPS, making it the worst value in the settings hierarchy. Players seeking maximum quality should consider High at 1080p as a compromise, accepting the 44 FPS loss from Medium for enhanced lighting and shadow effects.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock of 3.00 GHz can boost up to 4.00 GHz, and it features a 32 MB shared L3 cache along with 512 KB L2 and 64 KB L1 per core. The processor's Passmark single-thread score of 2872 and multithread score of 19236 place it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, indicating strong gaming performance.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 209 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame output capability for this game. The 12 threads provide sufficient parallelism for game logic and physics, while the high single-thread performance ensures that the primary game thread does not become a bottleneck. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, supported by dual-channel DDR4, ensures that data can be fed to the GPU efficiently.

The processor's nearest rivals show minimal performance differences: the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has a 0% delta, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D has -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 has -0.4%. These tiny margins suggest that the CPU is not a differentiating factor in this game's performance. The 65 W TDP and 74 mm² die size make it an efficient chip, but its production status is Active, and it was released on 2025-09-15.

The benchmark data for the CPU shows balanced performance across workloads: data compression scores 232836, data encryption scores 13839, and floating point math scores 34548. These scores indicate that the CPU can handle varied tasks without significant weaknesses. However, in Undisputed, the CPU's impact is limited by the GPU's ability to render frames, as evidenced by the 4K results where frame rates are low regardless of CPU capability.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 is built on the Turing architecture with the TU106 chip, manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It features 1920 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, along with 30 RT cores and 240 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1365 MHz and boosts to 1680 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus, providing 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth and 6 GB of GDDR6 VRAM.

The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 14111 places it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs, which is notably lower than the CPU's 85th percentile ranking. This disparity explains the combo's overall rank of 2933 out of 3718 in Undisputed. The GPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (0% difference), AMD Radeon 680M (0.1% difference), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (0.6% difference), showing that the RTX 2060 is closely matched to older and integrated solutions.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is dominant, as evidenced by the significant frame rate drops at higher resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 37 FPS highlights the GPU's limitations in pixel throughput, despite its 80.64 GPixel/s pixel rate and 201.6 GTexel/s texture rate. The 6 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for most settings, but the 336.0 GB/s bandwidth may be insufficient for 4K textures, causing the dramatic performance drop from High (57 FPS) to Ultra (37 FPS) at that resolution.

The GPU's Turing architecture provides DirectX 12 Ultimate support, which is beneficial for modern games, but its 12 nm process node results in a 160 W TDP and 445 mm² die size, making it less efficient than newer generations. The launch MSRP of 349 USD reflects its mid-range positioning at release, and its end-of-life production status indicates that it has been superseded by newer models. The GPU's FP32 performance of 6.451 TFLOPS is modest by modern standards, but sufficient for Undisputed at 1080p and 1440p with Medium settings.
