Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 delivers a robust performance profile in Undisputed, decisively favoring high refresh rate play at 1080p and 1440p. The data shows a system that is well-balanced for this sports title, though the 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory interface of the RTX 5060 become limiting factors at 4K Ultra settings, where frame rates dip below the playable threshold for many users.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear transition from a CPU-bound state to a GPU-bound state. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 290 FPS, which is a staggeringly high figure that indicates the Ryzen 5 5600F's six cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient to feed the GPU. This is the classic signature of a CPU-limited scenario where the graphics card has ample headroom. The jump to 1440p Low sees a drop to 209 FPS, a 28% reduction, which is a steeper decline than the pixel count increase alone would suggest, indicating that the GPU is beginning to take on more of the workload.

At 4K, the GPU's limitations become pronounced. The 4K Low setting yields 132 FPS, which is still playable, but the scaling pattern shows the RTX 5060 is working much harder. The most telling data point is the progression within the 4K resolution: Low (132 FPS) to Medium (95 FPS) to High (79 FPS) to Ultra (51 FPS). This steep drop-off, especially the 29% reduction from High to Ultra, is a strong indicator that the 8 GB VRAM buffer is being saturated at the highest settings. The 128-bit memory bus and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are not sufficient to handle the increased texture and shader complexity at 4K, making the GPU the definitive bottleneck.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings further confirms this. The drop from 125 FPS to 79 FPS is a 37% decrease, which is a massive performance hit that cannot be attributed to the CPU. The Ryzen 5 5600F, with its 3.00 GHz base and 4.00 GHz boost clock, is not the limiting component at these higher resolutions. Instead, the data indicates that the RTX 5060's rendering capabilities and memory subsystem are the primary constraints. This means that users targeting 4K should expect to use Medium or High settings to maintain a stable frame rate, as the Ultra preset is simply too demanding for the GPU's hardware configuration.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested configurations, this combo holds a solid position. The data places this pairing at rank 1214 out of 2813 combos for Undisputed, which puts it in the 57th percentile of all tested systems. This is a respectable standing, indicating that while it is not a top-tier enthusiast setup, it outranks a significant majority of other CPU-GPU pairings. This ranking confirms the balance between the Ryzen 5 5600F and the RTX 5060, as neither component is severely bottlenecking the other in the game's most common usage scenarios.

Examining the individual component rankings provides more context. The CPU sits in the 85th percentile against all CPUs, which is a very strong score, showcasing the enduring capability of the Zen 3 architecture. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 225, has a virtually identical average score, with a deltaPct of 0. The GPU, however, is in the 72nd percentile against all GPUs, which is slightly lower. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, is actually 1.2% faster in average score. This discrepancy suggests that the CPU is the stronger component of the pair, and the overall combo rank is slightly pulled down by the GPU's relative performance tier.

The deltaPct values for the CPU's rivals are extremely tight, all within -0.5% to 0% of its score. This indicates that the 5600F is in a highly competitive performance bracket, and its ranking is not due to a massive lead, but rather a consistent, strong showing across various workloads. The combo's rank of 1214 is therefore more a reflection of the GPU's mid-range positioning than any weakness in the processor. For a sports game like Undisputed, this rank suggests that the system is well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p and 1440p, which is where the measured FPS data shows the most impressive results.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a six-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, a configuration that proves highly effective for Undisputed. The game's engine appears to scale well with the available threads, as evidenced by the high frame rates at 1080p. The CPU's Passmark multi-thread score of 19,236 and single-thread score of 2,872 provide a quantitative basis for its performance. The single-thread score is particularly important for game logic and physics, and the data indicates it is not a bottleneck, even when the GPU is producing 290 FPS at 1080p Low.

The 32 MB of shared L3 cache is a significant asset for this CPU, as it helps reduce memory latency and improves performance in scenarios where data is frequently accessed. This is reflected in the CPU's 85th percentile ranking against all CPUs. The data shows that the CPU is rarely the limiting factor in this pairing. For instance, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 51 FPS, which is clearly a GPU limitation. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see a more consistent frame rate across resolutions.

The CPU's boost clock of 4.00 GHz is adequate for maintaining high frame rates, and the fact that it is a 65W TDP part means it runs efficiently. The nearest rivals for the CPU, such as the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (0.2% slower) and the Intel Core i9-12900T (0.5% slower), are all within a very narrow performance window. This suggests that the 5600F is a well-optimized part for its generation, and its performance in Undisputed is likely to be very consistent. The CPU's role here is to provide a stable, high-throughput foundation that allows the RTX 5060 to operate at its full potential, which it does admirably until the GPU's memory bandwidth and capacity are exhausted at 4K Ultra.
