Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 delivers a broad range of performance in Undisputed, a sports title that scales dramatically with both resolution and graphical presets. Measured data reveals this combination is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p, drops significantly at 4K under heavier settings, and shows a clear balance between CPU and GPU workload depending on the chosen configuration.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a steep, but predictable, decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At the High preset, the average frame rate drops from 144 FPS at 1080p to 104 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 40 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K High sees a further drop to 66 FPS, which is a 38 FPS decrease. This pattern indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting component at higher resolutions, as the pixel count increases and the RTX 5050’s rendering workload grows substantially.

The scaling is even more pronounced at the Ultra preset. The average FPS at 1080p Ultra is 92, which falls to 67 at 1440p Ultra, and then plummets to 42 at 4K Ultra. The jump from 1440p to 4K represents a 25 FPS loss, highlighting how demanding the Ultra preset is at 4K. The data suggests that the RTX 5050’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are likely strained by the combination of high resolution and maximum settings, leading to the severe performance drop at 3840x2160.

In contrast, the Low preset shows much less dramatic scaling. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 241 FPS, dropping to 174 FPS at 1440p, and 110 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low is smaller than at High or Ultra, indicating that at lower settings, the CPU has more headroom to keep up, and the GPU is still the main bottleneck but with less absolute work to do. The gap between Low and High at 4K is 44 FPS, while at 1080p it is 97 FPS, showing that the performance penalty for higher settings widens at lower resolutions where the CPU can feed frames faster.

The Medium preset offers a middle ground, with 173 FPS at 1080p, 125 FPS at 1440p, and 79 FPS at 4K. The min FPS for Medium at 1080p is 147, at 1440p it is 107, and at 4K it is 67, showing that even the minimum frame rates remain playable at lower resolutions but approach the edge of smoothness at 4K. The data implies that this system is best suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming, with 4K requiring significant compromises in settings to maintain acceptable performance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance between visual quality and performance for this hardware combination. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 173, with a minimum of 147 FPS, ensuring a smooth experience on high refresh rate monitors. The 1440p Medium average of 125 FPS, with a minimum of 107 FPS, is also very playable, providing a solid experience for most users. The jump from Medium to High at 1080p costs 29 FPS (from 173 to 144), which is a significant loss for a modest visual improvement in a sports game.

For users prioritizing frame rate, the Low preset is clearly the best choice. At 1080p Low, the average FPS reaches 241, and even at 1440p Low it stays at 174 FPS, which is higher than the 1080p High result. This suggests that Low settings unlock the full potential of the Ryzen 5 5600F’s six cores, allowing the GPU to render frames as fast as possible. The 4K Low average of 110 FPS is also surprising, showing that even at this high resolution, the game can be played at a high frame rate if visual fidelity is sacrificed.

The Ultra preset, however, is not recommended for most scenarios. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 92, which is still playable, but the drop to 67 FPS at 1440p and 42 FPS at 4K makes it unsuitable for those resolutions. The data shows that the penalty for Ultra settings is substantial, likely due to the increased memory footprint and shader complexity that stresses the RTX 5050’s 8 GB VRAM and 2560 shading units. For a competitive sports title like Undisputed, the Medium preset at 1440p seems to provide the best compromise, delivering a high average FPS while maintaining a stable minimum frame rate.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is a 67 FPS drop (from 241 to 174), while from 1440p to 4K Low it is a 64 FPS drop (from 174 to 110). This shows that the RTX 5050’s performance scales nearly linearly with resolution at the lowest settings. In contrast, at Ultra settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 25 FPS (92 to 67), and from 1440p to 4K is another 25 FPS (67 to 42), indicating a more pronounced bottleneck at higher resolutions due to the increased load on the GPU’s memory subsystem.

The Medium preset shows the most consistent minimum FPS data, with a 147 FPS minimum at 1080p, 107 FPS at 1440p, and 67 FPS at 4K. These minimums are all above 60 FPS, which is a common threshold for smooth gameplay, but the 4K minimum of 67 suggests that frame pacing might be less stable at this resolution. The High preset does not have recorded minimum or maximum values, but its averages suggest it is a middle ground between Medium and Ultra.

Comparing the Low preset at 4K (110 FPS) to the High preset at 1080p (144 FPS) shows that the GPU can handle high frame rates even at high resolutions when settings are lowered. This suggests that players with 4K monitors could use Low settings to achieve a smooth experience, while those with 1080p monitors could use Ultra for better visuals at 92 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 is a key component in this combo, and its specifications directly relate to the measured performance. The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 320.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is likely a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 42, as the game may be exceeding the VRAM capacity or saturating the memory bus. The memory clock runs at 2500 MHz, which translates to 20 Gbps effective, and while this is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, the data suggests it struggles at 4K with heavy settings.

The GPU’s boost clock is 2572 MHz, with a base clock of 2317 MHz. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (241 FPS) indicates that the GPU can push a high number of frames when not constrained by memory or shading complexity. The shading units number 2560, with 80 TMUs and 32 ROPs, which are moderate figures for a 50-series card. The pixel rate of 82.30 GPixel/s and texture rate of 205.8 GTexel/s support the idea that the GPU is capable of high throughput at lower resolutions.

The RTX 5050 uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on a 5 nm process, with 16,900 million transistors. Its FP32 performance is 13.17 TFLOPS, which is a measure of raw compute power. In Undisputed, a sports game that typically relies on physics and character rendering, this compute power is sufficient for high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K Ultra result of 42 FPS shows that the GPU’s overall throughput is not enough to handle the maximum workload at that resolution.

The GPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL (with a deltaPct of -0.6), the AMD Radeon HD 8970M (deltaPct -1), and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (deltaPct 1.6). These rival comparisons are based on synthetic benchmarks, not game-specific results, but they position the RTX 5050 as a mid-range card. In Undisputed, the measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at high resolutions, as the CPU’s performance headroom is not fully utilized when the GPU is struggling.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. This CPU is based on the Zen 3 architecture (Vermeer) and has a 32 MB shared L3 cache. In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is evident in the Low preset results, where the average FPS at 1080p reaches 241. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to sustain very high frame rates, and the 6 cores are sufficient for the game’s physics and AI calculations.

The CPU’s boost clock of 4.00 GHz is crucial for single-threaded performance, which is often important in sports games. The measured passmark single-thread score is 2872, and the multithread score is 19236. These scores suggest that the CPU is well-balanced for gaming. When comparing the 1080p Low result (241 FPS) to the 1440p Low result (174 FPS), the drop is 67 FPS, which is primarily due to the GPU’s workload. However, at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting factor at Low settings, as the GPU is capable of rendering more than 241 FPS but is held back by the CPU’s frame generation rate.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (deltaPct 0), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (deltaPct -0.2), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (deltaPct -0.4). These rivals have similar average benchmark scores, indicating that the 5600F is a competitive mid-range CPU. In Undisputed, the CPU’s impact is most visible at 1080p, where the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 149 FPS (241 vs 92). This large gap suggests that at Low settings, the CPU can keep up with the GPU, but at Ultra settings, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and the CPU has more headroom.

The CPU’s memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This is sufficient for the game’s data streaming, and the 32 MB L3 cache helps with data locality. The CPU’s TDP is 65 W, which is low, but this does not directly impact gaming performance. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600F is a capable partner for the RTX 5050, but it is not the primary limiting factor in most scenarios, except perhaps at 1080p Low where the frame rate is exceptionally high.

How This Combo Ranks
