Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers exceptional frame rates in Undisputed, a sports title that clearly favors GPU throughput. The data shows a system capable of triple-digit averages at every tested resolution, with the scaling patterns revealing a predictable shift in bottleneck behavior as pixel count rises. This combination ranks in the 97th percentile of all tested hardware configurations for this game, placing it among the elite setups for boxing simulation enthusiasts.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K illustrates a classic GPU-bound scaling curve, though the magnitude of the drop is heavily influenced by the preset. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 sees average FPS fall from 437 to 264, a reduction of 173 frames or roughly 40 percent. This indicates that even at 4K with minimal graphical load, the RTX 5090 D remains the dominant force, though the CPU begins to assert its presence at lower resolutions where the GPU has less work to do.

Moving to Medium settings, the scaling becomes more pronounced. At 1080p the average is 387 FPS, dropping to 301 at 1440p and further to 190 at 4K. The step from 1440p to 4K represents a 37 percent performance hit, which is consistent with the 2.25x increase in pixel count. This suggests the system is nearing the point where the GPU is the primary limiter, as the framerate drop closely mirrors the resolution scaling factor.

High settings tell a similar but slightly steeper story. The 1080p average of 344 FPS falls to 249 at 1440p (a 28 percent drop) and then to 157 at 4K (a 37 percent drop from 1440p). The consistent ~35-40 percent penalty when moving to 4K across Medium and High presets indicates that the RTX 5090 D's raw compute is being fully utilized, with the Ryzen 5 5600F's six cores and twelve threads providing sufficient headroom at the higher resolutions.

Ultra settings exhibit the most dramatic scaling, with 1080p averaging 222 FPS, 1440p at 160 FPS, and 4K falling to 101 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 4K here is a 37 percent reduction, mirroring the other presets. However, the absolute values are significantly lower, suggesting that Ultra's additional graphical effects—likely including enhanced shadows, reflections, and particle systems—place a heavier burden on the GPU that scales super-linearly with resolution.

The limiting component analysis is clear: at 1080p and 1440p with Low or Medium settings, the CPU's single-thread performance (PassMark single-thread score of 2872) may be constraining the GPU's ability to reach even higher frame rates. At 4K, particularly on High and Ultra, the GPU's workload dominates, and the frame rates align more closely with pure GPU capability. The data shows a 157 FPS average at 4K High, which remains far above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on high-end monitors, meaning the system is rarely visibly limited by either component in practical use.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the undisputed powerhouse in this pairing, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process and containing 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is crucial for handling the high-resolution textures and detailed character models in Undisputed without any memory-related stuttering or texture pop-in.

The GPU's clock behavior, with a base of 2017 MHz and boost of 2407 MHz, contributes to its massive compute throughput. The FP32 performance of 104.8 TFLOPS, alongside 21,760 shading units and 680 TMUs, explains why the card can maintain 264 FPS at 4K Low and 437 FPS at 1080p Low. Even at Ultra settings, where the full feature set is enabled, the card still delivers 101 FPS at 4K, demonstrating that its architectural efficiency scales well with increasing graphical complexity.

The RTX 5090 D's memory subsystem deserves particular attention in this context. The 32 GB capacity is far beyond what Undisputed requires, but the bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s ensures that the GPU never waits on texture fetches, even at 4K with Ultra settings. The measured frame times at Medium settings show a maximum of 219 FPS at 4K, indicating that the GPU can burst well above its average when the scene allows, a characteristic that points to ample memory bandwidth headroom.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its elite status, with a PassMark G3D score of 44,065 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,326. In the context of nearest rivals, the RTX 5090 D sits at a 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with its average benchmark score of 77,712 placing it slightly above the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904, a 1.1 percent delta) and significantly above the NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants. This performance class is what enables the 4K Ultra average of 101 FPS, a figure that would have been unthinkable for a sports title just a few years ago.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, despite being a more modest component than its GPU counterpart, plays a critical role in ensuring the system does not leave performance on the table. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 (Vermeer) architecture, it operates at a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) provide adequate data throughput for feeding the GPU's insatiable appetite at lower resolutions.

In Undisputed, the CPU's influence is most apparent at 1080p with Low settings, where the average frame rate reaches 437 FPS. At this point, the GPU is capable of rendering frames so quickly that the CPU's single-thread performance becomes the limiting factor. The PassMark single-thread score of 2872, while respectable, is not in the top tier, and the data shows that the 1080p Low result does not scale proportionally from the 1440p Low result of 392 FPS—a 12 percent increase that is less than the 1.78x pixel reduction would suggest, indicating CPU bottlenecking.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities, evidenced by a PassMark multithread score of 19,236 and a physics score of 1,043, are sufficient for the game's simulation demands. Undisputed relies on physics calculations for punch impact and fighter movement, and the 5600F's 12 threads handle these without becoming a bottleneck at 4K, where the GPU's workload dominates. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average of 101 FPS is still well above playable thresholds, confirming that the CPU is not hampering the experience at the highest visual quality.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the 5600F holds its own. Its average benchmark score of 36,945 is nearly identical to the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (36,938, a 0 percent delta) and within 0.5 percent of the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D (37,018). This places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, a solid mid-tier position that pairs well with a top-tier GPU. The key takeaway is that while the 5600F may cost a few frames at 1080p versus a higher-end CPU, its impact at 1440p and 4K is minimal, making it a sensible partner for the RTX 5090 D in this title.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 2,813 tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of the Ryzen 5 5600F and RTX 5090 D achieves a rank of 81, placing it in the top 3 percent of all configurations. This high ranking is driven almost entirely by the GPU's dominance, as the 5600F's mid-range standing does little to detract from the overall performance ceiling.

The ranking implies that there are 80 configurations that outperform this one, likely featuring newer or higher-end CPUs such as Ryzen 7000/9000 series parts or Intel Core i7/i9 variants that can better feed the RTX 5090 D at 1080p. However, the gap between rank 81 and the top spot is unlikely to be substantial in Undisputed, given the game's relatively light CPU demands compared to GPU-intensive titles.

The combo's position becomes more impressive when considering the CPU's modest specifications. A 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 5000 series, released in 2025, combined with a flagship 2025 GPU, still lands in the 97th percentile for this game. This speaks to the GPU's ability to carry the workload at higher resolutions, where the combo rank is effectively determined by the RTX 5090 D's raw performance.

The data suggests that for users targeting 4K gaming, this combination offers near-top-tier performance, with the 4K High average of 157 FPS comfortably exceeding the requirements of high-refresh-rate 4K displays. At 1440p, the combo is equally formidable, with the High preset delivering 249 FPS, making it a viable choice for 240 Hz monitors. The rank of 81 out of 2,813 is a strong endorsement of this pairing's suitability for Undisputed, despite the CPU not being the absolute best available.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system shows its peak performance potential. Low settings produce an average of 437 FPS, while Medium settings yield 387 FPS with a minimum of 329 and maximum of 445. High settings average 344 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 222 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra represents a 49 percent reduction in average frame rate, highlighting the significant cost of Ultra's enhanced visuals at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the averages remain exceptionally high. Low settings hit 392 FPS, Medium settings average 301 FPS with a range of 256 to 346, High settings deliver 249 FPS, and Ultra settings maintain 160 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by 10-28 percent across presets, with the smallest penalty at Low settings (10 percent) and the largest at Ultra (28 percent), indicating that Ultra's effects scale more aggressively with resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system still delivers triple-digit averages across all presets. Low settings average 264 FPS, Medium settings average 190 FPS with a minimum of 162 and maximum of 219, High settings achieve 157 FPS, and Ultra settings settle at 101 FPS. The 4K results are particularly noteworthy for the Medium preset's consistency—the 162 minimum frame rate suggests that even in demanding scenes, the system rarely drops below the 144 Hz threshold.

The data reveals that the most significant performance gap occurs between High and Ultra settings at every resolution. At 1080p, the drop from High to Ultra is 122 FPS (35 percent); at 1440p, it is 89 FPS (36 percent); and at 4K, it is 56 FPS (36 percent). This consistent percentage suggests that Ultra introduces a fixed set of additional GPU workloads that scale uniformly across resolutions, making it the most demanding preset in terms of per-frame cost.

Settings Recommendations

For users with 4K displays, the High preset at an average of 157 FPS offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. The 4K Ultra preset, while playable at 101 FPS, represents a 36 percent performance hit for what is likely an imperceptible visual improvement in a sports title. The High preset maintains a comfortable margin above 144 Hz, ensuring smooth gameplay without compromising on graphical quality.

At 1440p, the Medium preset's average of 301 FPS is compelling for high-refresh-rate monitors, but the High preset at 249 FPS is the recommended choice for most users. The 52 FPS difference between High and Ultra (160 FPS) is substantial, and the High preset's 249 FPS already exceeds the refresh rate of all but the most extreme 360 Hz panels. For competitive play, the Low preset at 392 FPS offers the highest possible frame rate, though the visual trade-off may not be worth it outside of esports contexts.

At 1080p, the data suggests that High settings at 344 FPS are the sweet spot. The Medium preset's 387 FPS offers a marginal 12 percent improvement, while the Ultra preset's 222 FPS is a 35 percent reduction from High. Given that Undisputed is a sports simulation where visual detail enhances the experience, High settings provide the best combination of smoothness and graphical quality. The Low preset's 437 FPS is only relevant for users seeking the absolute maximum frame rate, which is unnecessary given the game's non-reflex-based gameplay.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently offers the most consistent frame times, as evidenced by the minimum FPS data at 1080p (329), 1440p (256), and 4K (162). This stability makes Medium a safe choice for users who prioritize consistent performance over peak frame rates. However, for the vast majority of users, the High preset delivers the best overall experience, with frame rates that are both high and sufficiently stable for a smooth, responsive boxing game.
