Undisputed

The Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 5080 combination delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, but the data reveals a clear bottleneck shift as resolution increases. At 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-limited, while at 4K, the GPU becomes the primary constraint. The measured frame rates show that this combo ranks in the top 7% of all tested configurations, making it a formidable pairing for high-refresh-rate boxing action.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K follows a predictable pattern, but the magnitude of the drop reveals important performance characteristics. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 437 at 1080p to 359 at 1440p (an 18% reduction) and then to 227 at 4K (a 48% reduction from 1080p). This steep decline at 4K suggests that the RTX 5080's rendering workload is scaling significantly with pixel count, as expected for a GPU-bound scenario.

However, the scaling behavior changes dramatically when looking at Ultra settings. The average FPS at 1080p Ultra is 190, dropping to 137 at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 87 at 4K (a 54% reduction from 1080p). The larger percentage drop at higher settings indicates that the Ultra preset introduces additional GPU-intensive effects that amplify the resolution penalty. At Medium settings, the scaling is more moderate: 357 FPS at 1080p, 258 at 1440p (a 28% drop), and 163 at 4K (a 54% drop from 1080p).

The High preset shows the most balanced scaling profile: 296 FPS at 1080p, 214 at 1440p (a 28% reduction), and 135 at 4K (a 54% reduction from 1080p). This consistent 28% and 54% pattern across High, Medium, and Ultra settings suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor at resolutions above 1080p, with the CPU headroom becoming less relevant as pixel count increases.

The key insight is that at 1080p, the difference between Low (437 FPS) and Ultra (190 FPS) is a massive 247 FPS gap, indicating that the CPU is capable of driving extremely high frame rates when the GPU workload is light. At 4K, the same settings spread narrows to a 140 FPS gap (227 vs 87), which points to the GPU becoming the dominant constraint. The 4K Ultra result of 87 FPS is particularly telling—it shows that even a top-tier GPU like the RTX 5080 struggles to maintain high frame rates at maximum settings in this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 achieves a rank of 196 out of 2813 tested combinations in Undisputed. This places the combo in the top 7% of all configurations, which is a strong showing given the CPU's mid-range positioning. The data indicates that this pairing outperforms the vast majority of alternatives, though it is not at the absolute top of the leaderboard.

The rank of 196 suggests that there are 195 other combinations that deliver higher frame rates in this game. Given that the RTX 5080 is a flagship-class GPU, the limiting factor in the ranking is likely the Ryzen 5 5600F's processing power. The CPU's PassMark multithread score of 19236 and single-thread score of 2872 place it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, which is respectable but not elite. This means that faster CPUs paired with the same GPU would likely achieve higher ranks, particularly at lower resolutions where CPU overhead is more significant.

The combo's rank is particularly impressive when considering that the RTX 5080's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the AMD Radeon 8060S (0.6% higher score) and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (0.7% higher score). Yet in Undisputed, this NVIDIA GPU paired with the 5600F still manages to secure a top-200 position, demonstrating that the GPU's real-world gaming performance can exceed its synthetic benchmark standing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 brings substantial hardware to this pairing, with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is critical for Undisputed at high resolutions, as the game's detailed character models and arena environments require significant texture data. The 16 GB capacity ensures that even at 4K Ultra settings, there is ample memory headroom, which likely contributes to the consistent performance seen across all measured configurations.

The GPU's clock speeds are notably high, with a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2617 MHz. These aggressive clocks, combined with the Blackwell 2.0 architecture's 10752 shading units, allow the RTX 5080 to process the game's visual effects efficiently. The measured results confirm this: at 4K Medium, the combo achieves 163 FPS with a minimum of 139 FPS and a maximum of 188 FPS, showing that the GPU can maintain smooth performance even when frame times fluctuate.

The RTX 5080's 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is a strong indicator of its raw capability, and this translates directly into the high frame rates observed. At 1080p High, the combo reaches 296 FPS, which is well beyond the refresh rate of most displays. The GPU's pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s ensure that the game's visual details are rendered without becoming a bottleneck, even at 4K where the pixel workload quadruples compared to 1080p.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 87th among all GPUs places it in the upper echelon of graphics cards. Its average benchmark score of 56083 is close to rivals like the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE (57367, 2.2% higher) and the AMD Radeon 8060S (55757, 0.6% lower). These small benchmark deltas suggest that the RTX 5080 is competitively positioned, though its actual in-game performance in Undisputed may vary based on driver optimization and game-specific rendering paths.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset achieves 437 FPS, which is the highest recorded frame rate in the entire dataset. The Medium preset drops to 357 FPS with a minimum of 304 FPS and a maximum of 411 FPS, demonstrating consistent performance even during intense gameplay moments. High settings reduce the average to 296 FPS, while Ultra settles at 190 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system has substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors, with even the most demanding preset exceeding 144 FPS.

Moving to 1440p, the performance remains strong but shows the expected decline. Low settings produce 359 FPS, which is still exceptionally high. Medium delivers 258 FPS with a minimum of 219 FPS and a maximum of 297 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay on 144Hz displays. High settings achieve 214 FPS, while Ultra drops to 137 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result of 137 FPS is notable because it falls just short of the 144Hz refresh rate threshold, meaning that players seeking maximum visual fidelity may need to accept slightly lower frame rates or consider a lower preset.

At 4K, the performance profile changes significantly. Low settings still deliver a playable 227 FPS, but Medium drops to 163 FPS with a minimum of 139 FPS and a maximum of 188 FPS. High settings achieve 135 FPS, while Ultra falls to 87 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that drops below 100 FPS, indicating that this setting pushes the RTX 5080 to its limits in this game. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 140 FPS, highlighting the substantial performance cost of the game's higher-quality visual effects.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. With a 65 W TDP and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, this CPU provides solid processing power for gaming workloads. Its PassMark single-thread score of 2872 and multithread score of 19236 place it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, indicating that it is a capable performer for its class.

The CPU's role in Undisputed becomes evident when examining the frame rate differences between resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 437 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame generation capability for this game. The fact that the GPU is not the limiting factor at this resolution is confirmed by the massive jump from 437 FPS at Low to 190 FPS at Ultra—a 247 FPS difference that is driven entirely by GPU workload rather than CPU constraints.

The Ryzen 5 5600F's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (0% delta), the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (-0.2% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 (-0.4% delta). These close benchmark scores suggest that the 5600F is competitively positioned in synthetic tests. However, in Undisputed, the CPU's performance is sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck at 1440p and 4K, where the GPU takes over as the primary constraint.

The CPU's 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and dual-channel DDR4 support are adequate for this game, as evidenced by the high frame rates at lower resolutions. The processor's 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die (7 nm process) provide efficient power delivery and thermal characteristics, allowing sustained performance during extended gaming sessions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and display refresh rate. For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 190 FPS offers the best visual quality while still exceeding the refresh rate of most monitors. Players with 144Hz displays can comfortably use Ultra settings at 1080p, as the 190 FPS average provides sufficient headroom for consistent frame delivery.

For 1440p displays, the Medium preset at 258 FPS is the recommended choice for players with high-refresh-rate monitors (144Hz or higher). The High preset at 214 FPS is also viable for 144Hz displays, offering better visual fidelity while maintaining a comfortable margin above the refresh threshold. The Ultra preset at 137 FPS is suitable for 120Hz displays, but may cause occasional frame drops on 144Hz panels due to the 137 FPS average being close to the refresh rate limit.

For 4K displays, the Medium preset at 163 FPS provides the best balance of performance and visual quality, easily supporting 144Hz refresh rates. The High preset at 135 FPS is recommended for 120Hz displays, offering improved visual detail while staying above the refresh threshold. The Ultra preset at 87 FPS is only suitable for 60Hz displays, where it delivers smooth gameplay but does not take advantage of higher refresh rate panels. The Low preset at 227 FPS is overkill for any current display technology and should only be used if maximum frame rates are desired regardless of visual quality.

The data clearly shows that the Medium preset offers the most consistent performance across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 357 FPS with a minimum of 304 FPS, ensuring no drops below 300 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the 258 FPS average with a 219 FPS minimum provides excellent consistency. At 4K Medium, the 163 FPS average with a 139 FPS minimum keeps frame times stable. This consistency suggests that Medium settings are the sweet spot for this hardware combination, delivering high frame rates without the performance volatility seen at other presets.
