Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 pairing in Undisputed presents a fascinating study in bottleneck dynamics. The CPU, a 6-core/12-thread Zen 3 part with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost of 4.60 GHz, sits in the 78th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, posts an almost identical average benchmark score (20746 vs. 20740), while the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X is a scant 0.3% ahead. This places the 5600GT in a performance tier where its multi-threaded capabilities are solid but not exceptional, a factor that becomes crucial when analyzing the high-refresh-rate results in this sports title.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Ryzen 5 5600GT’s 6 cores and 12 threads are the architectural foundation here. In Undisputed, the data shows a clear pattern: at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 357.3 FPS, a figure so high that it almost certainly exceeds the CPU’s capacity to feed frames. The benchmark results indicate a significant scaling wall. When moving from 1080p Low to 1080p Ultra, the average FPS drops by over 60%, from 357.3 to 137.7. This dramatic falloff suggests that while the CPU can handle the lower graphical loads, it becomes the limiting factor once the GPU is forced to work harder, though the GPU still has ample headroom.

The CPU’s single-thread performance, reflected in a 3dmark_single_thread score of 913 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2438, is adequate for gaming. However, the data implies that in lighter scenes, the 5600GT’s 4.60 GHz boost clock is what allows it to push those extremely high frame rates. The L3 cache of 16 MB is a moderate amount, and the dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while standard, does not provide the same headroom as newer platforms. The game’s reliance on the CPU is evident in the 1440p results: the gap between Low (258.3 FPS) and High (158.1 FPS) is 100 FPS, indicating that the CPU is still able to drive the engine efficiently even when the GPU load increases.

What is curious is the absence of a clear CPU bottleneck at lower settings. The jump from 1080p Low to 1440p Low sees a drop of 99 FPS (357.3 to 258.3). If the CPU were the sole constraint, that drop would be smaller. This indicates that the RTX 3080 is still the primary driver of performance, even at 1440p Low. The CPU’s role becomes more pronounced at 4K, where the Ultra preset yields only 61.1 FPS. Here, the 12-thread workload is likely being saturated, as the GPU is having to render nearly four times the pixels of 1080p, and the CPU is struggling to keep up with the draw calls and physics calculations at such a high resolution. The data suggests a balanced pairing, but with the CPU as the firm ceiling for maximum frame rates in less demanding scenarios.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling data reveals a classic pattern of GPU-bound performance, with the CPU becoming increasingly relevant at the extremes. From 1080p Low (357.3 FPS) to 1440p Low (258.3 FPS), the performance drop is 99 FPS, or approximately 28%. This is a significant reduction, but it is less than the pixel count increase would suggest (1440p has 1.78x the pixels of 1080p). This indicates that the RTX 3080 is still operating well within its capabilities at 1440p Low, and the CPU is able to maintain a high frame delivery rate.

The scaling becomes more telling at higher settings. Moving from 1080p High (215.3 FPS) to 1440p High (158.1 FPS) results in a 57.2 FPS drop. The percentage drop here is also around 27%, similar to the Low preset. This consistency suggests that the GPU is the primary limiter across these resolutions and settings, as the relative performance scales predictably with pixel count. The CPU’s 12 threads are sufficient to keep up with the increased GPU load without introducing a significant bottleneck.

However, the 4K results tell a different story. At 4K Low, the average FPS is 167.5, which is 90.8 FPS lower than 1440p Low. This is a 35% drop, which is higher than the 27% drop seen between 1080p and 1440p. This steeper decline at 4K indicates that the GPU is becoming more stressed, but it also suggests that the CPU is starting to struggle to feed the GPU with enough data. The 4K Ultra result of 61.1 FPS is a 63% drop from 1440p Ultra (101.7 FPS). This massive plunge points to a combined bottleneck where both the CPU’s processing power and the GPU’s rendering capacity are being pushed to their absolute limits. The data implies that for the smoothest experience, this combo is best suited for 1440p gaming, where the balance between CPU and GPU is most optimal.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The comboRankInGame of 481 out of 1580 combos is a critical data point. It means that this specific CPU-GPU pairing outperforms more than two-thirds of all configurations tested in Undisputed. This is a commendable result, especially considering the CPU is not a top-tier part. The ranking suggests that the RTX 3080’s raw power is able to compensate for the 5600GT’s more modest capabilities in this particular game engine.

The data shows that this combo is not at the absolute top, but it is comfortably in the upper echelon. The 481st rank out of 1580 places it in the 70th percentile of tested combos, which is higher than the CPU’s individual 78th percentile and the GPU’s 80th percentile might suggest. This indicates that the pairing is synergistic in Undisputed and that the game is not heavily favoring one component over the other. The performance is likely limited by the CPU in high-FPS scenarios, but the overall ranking is strong enough to deliver an excellent experience. The fact that it ranks higher than many combos with theoretically stronger CPUs implies that the RTX 3080 is able to carry the load effectively, making this a well-balanced system for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo’s capabilities. At 1920x1080, the results are exceptional. With Low settings, the average FPS is 357.3. Moving to Medium yields 258.5 FPS, a drop of 98.8 FPS. High settings produce 215.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 137.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 219.6 FPS difference, demonstrating the massive impact of graphical fidelity on performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains high but shows clear signs of increased GPU load. Low settings average 258.3 FPS, which is nearly identical to the 1080p Medium result. Medium settings drop to 185.4 FPS, while High averages 158.1 FPS. Ultra is the most demanding, with an average of 101.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 156.6 FPS, a smaller gap than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint. Low settings yield 167.5 FPS, which is still very playable. Medium drops to 119.6 FPS, and High averages 101 FPS. Ultra is the most taxing, with an average of 61.1 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is 106.4 FPS. The data shows that 4K Ultra is the only configuration where the frame rate dips below 100 FPS, making it the most demanding scenario for this combo. The consistency of the data across all settings and resolutions confirms that this is a robust and well-measured set of results.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For players with a 1080p 144Hz monitor, the High preset at 215.3 FPS is the best choice. It provides a smooth and detailed experience that easily exceeds refresh rate requirements. The Ultra preset at 137.7 FPS is also viable for 120Hz displays, but the 77.6 FPS drop from High to Ultra is significant, and the visual gains may not justify the performance loss.

For 1440p, the Medium preset at 185.4 FPS offers the best balance for high-refresh-rate displays. High settings at 158.1 FPS are also excellent and are recommended for those prioritizing visual quality over raw frame counts. The Ultra preset at 101.7 FPS is still highly playable and is ideal for 100Hz monitors. At 1440p, the data indicates that High is the sweet spot, providing a substantial frame rate cushion while maintaining a high level of graphical detail.

At 4K, the situation is different. The Low preset at 167.5 FPS is the only one that provides a high-refresh-rate experience. For those with a 120Hz 4K display, Low is the only viable option. The Medium preset at 119.6 FPS is excellent for 60Hz displays and provides a significant visual upgrade over Low. High at 101 FPS is also great for 60Hz, but Ultra at 61.1 FPS is right on the border of 60Hz and may present occasional dips. The data suggests that for 4K, Medium is the best recommendation for a solid 60 FPS experience with good visual fidelity, while High is also acceptable.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080’s role in this combo is to provide the raw rendering power, and its specifications are directly reflected in the measured FPS. The GPU has 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s. This large memory bandwidth is crucial for high-resolution textures and explains why the combo can maintain high frame rates at 1440p and even 4K, where memory bandwidth is often a bottleneck. The 10 GB capacity is sufficient for Undisputed at all tested settings, as the game does not appear to exceed this limit based on the performance scaling.

The GPU’s clock speeds are a base of 1440 MHz and a boost of 1710 MHz. These clocks, combined with the 8704 shading units, deliver a FP32 performance of 29.77 TFLOPS. This raw compute power is what drives the high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. The boost clock of 1710 MHz is the key factor in the GPU’s ability to sustain performance under load. The data shows that the RTX 3080 is not the primary bottleneck until 4K Ultra, where its compute and memory resources are fully saturated, resulting in the 61.1 FPS figure.

The GPU’s 80th percentile ranking and its performance relative to rivals, such as being 0.9% faster than the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE, indicate that it is a high-end part. In Undisputed, the RTX 3080’s role is to provide the headroom that allows the Ryzen 5 5600GT to reach its maximum frame delivery capability. The data implies that in most scenarios, the GPU is waiting for the CPU to send frames, but at 4K Ultra, the tables turn, and the GPU becomes the limiting factor. This dynamic shows that the RTX 3080 is a powerful partner that can handle the game’s demands up to very high resolutions, with 4K Ultra being the only configuration where it truly struggles to keep up.
