Undisputed

The pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 in Undisputed produces a benchmark profile that is decisively limited by the CPU at lower resolutions, while the GPU's immense power only becomes the primary constraint at 4K. The data shows a system capable of excellent frame rates across the board, but the performance scaling reveals a significant bottleneck that prevents the RTX 5090 from reaching its full potential until the resolution is pushed to its maximum. This combination ranks in the 70.5th percentile of all tested combos for this game, indicating that while it outperforms many systems, it leaves substantial performance on the table due to the processor's limitations.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K in Undisputed clearly demonstrates where the performance ceiling lies for this specific combination. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves an average of 282 FPS, but this drops to 243 FPS at 1440p and further to 151 FPS at 4K. This pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases is a classic indicator of a CPU bottleneck at the lower resolutions. The RTX 5090 is capable of far higher frame rates than the Ryzen 5 5600G can feed it, so at 1080p and 1440p, the processor's single-thread and multi-thread capabilities are the limiting factor, not the graphics card.

The scaling becomes more dramatic when examining the High settings preset. At 1080p High, the system produces 230 FPS, which drops to 164 FPS at 1440p (a 28.7% reduction) and then to 87 FPS at 4K (a 46.9% reduction from 1440p). This steep decline at 4K signals a transition where the GPU finally becomes the dominant constraint. The RTX 5090's raw compute power, with its 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 32 GB of GDDR7 memory, is being fully utilized at 3840x2160, whereas at lower resolutions, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are unable to keep up with the GPU's frame generation capability.

The Ultra preset shows a similar trend but with lower absolute numbers. At 1080p Ultra, the system manages 174 FPS, dropping to 111 FPS at 1440p and just 58 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is particularly telling; it is less than half the frame rate of the 1080p Ultra result, showing that the combination of high settings and high resolution places a massive load on the GPU. The data indicates that this pairing is most balanced at 4K, where the RTX 5090's workload is heavy enough to mask the CPU's deficiencies. At 1080p and 1440p, the frame rates are high, but they are artificially capped by the processor's performance, meaning the RTX 5090 is not being fully utilized in those scenarios.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, plays a critical role in determining the overall performance of this combination in Undisputed. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz provide solid single-thread performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1409 and Geekbench single-core score of 1801. However, the game's engine appears to be sensitive to the CPU's multi-threaded capabilities, and the processor's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are modest by modern standards.

Benchmark results for the CPU show a 3DMark single-thread score of 872 and a multi-thread score of 5455, placing it in the 74th percentile against all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i3-1220P with a 0.1% higher average score, the Intel Core Ultra 7 256V with a 0.1% lower score, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U with a 0.2% lower score. This indicates that the 5600G is a mid-range processor that can hold its own against similar chips but lacks the high-end multi-core performance needed to fully unlock a flagship GPU like the RTX 5090.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes evident when comparing the frame rates at 1080p versus 4K. At 1080p Low, the system hits 282 FPS, but this is likely a CPU-imposed limit, as the RTX 5090 could theoretically render many more frames per second in a lighter workload. The processor's PassMark multi-thread score of 19717 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10551 suggest it has enough computational power for most games, but the RTX 5090's enormous throughput potential exceeds what the 5600G can feed it. This is a classic pairing of a high-end GPU with a mid-range CPU, and the benchmark data confirms that the CPU is the bottleneck in all scenarios except the most demanding 4K Ultra settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the most balanced experience for this combination in Undisputed is achieved at the High settings preset, particularly at 1440p. At this resolution, the High preset delivers an average of 164 FPS, which is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 1440p offers a higher average of 219 FPS with a minimum of 186 FPS, but the increase in frame rate comes at the cost of visual fidelity. For players prioritizing frame rate above all else, the Low preset at 1440p yields an impressive 243 FPS average, but the visual quality reduction is substantial.

At 1080p, the High preset produces 230 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display, and the Medium preset bumps this to 256 FPS with a minimum of 218 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p still delivers a very playable 174 FPS, but the jump from High to Ultra provides diminishing returns in visual quality relative to the performance hit. For 4K gaming, the situation is different; the High preset is the only viable option, delivering 87 FPS, while the Medium preset drops to 116 FPS but the Ultra preset falls to a less desirable 58 FPS. The data suggests that High settings at 4K provide the best compromise, offering a playable frame rate without sacrificing too much detail.

The measured results clearly show that the Ultra preset is the most demanding, with the 4K Ultra result of 58 FPS being the lowest of all tested configurations. For a consistently smooth experience across all resolutions, the High preset is the recommended choice, as it provides a 230 FPS average at 1080p, 164 FPS at 1440p, and 87 FPS at 4K. The Medium preset is a viable alternative for those who want higher frame rates and are willing to sacrifice some visual quality, but the gains are modest compared to the reduction in settings quality.

How This Combo Ranks

In the overall ranking for Undisputed, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 holds the 1097th position out of 3718 tested combos, placing it in the 70.5th percentile. This ranking indicates that the system outperforms a majority of the tested configurations, but it also suggests that there is significant room for improvement. The RTX 5090, which ranks in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 79842, is clearly a top-tier component, but its performance is hampered by the Ryzen 5 5600G, which only ranks in the 74th percentile of CPUs.

The GPU's nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (0.3% higher score) and the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (1.1% higher score), but in Undisputed, the actual frame rates are dictated by the combination's overall balance. The combo's rank of 1097 out of 3718 suggests that many other pairings with more powerful CPUs achieve higher frame rates in this game, even if their GPUs are less capable. This is a direct consequence of the CPU bottleneck observed in the resolution scaling data.

The data indicates that this combo is not optimal for Undisputed, as the processor's limitations prevent the GPU from delivering its full potential. A CPU with higher multi-thread performance would likely push this combo significantly higher in the rankings, as the RTX 5090's raw power is more than sufficient for this game's demands. The 70.5th percentile ranking is respectable, but it does not reflect the GPU's capability, underscoring the importance of pairing high-end graphics cards with equally capable processors.

The data reveals a clear performance hierarchy, with the Low preset at 1080p offering the highest frame rates and the Ultra preset at 4K offering the lowest. The Medium preset consistently provides higher frame rates than High across all resolutions, with the gap widening as resolution decreases. The minimum FPS values for the Medium preset show that even at 4K, the system maintains a minimum of 98 FPS, indicating good frame pacing, while the maximum FPS at 1080p Medium reaches 294 FPS. These measurements confirm that the combination is capable of delivering high frame rates across most configurations, but the CPU bottleneck is apparent in the relatively modest differences between Low and Medium presets at lower resolutions, where the GPU is not the limiting factor.
