Undisputed

Settings Recommendations

For this pairing of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 in Undisputed, the measured data clearly shows that High settings at 1440p delivers the most balanced experience, with 236.5 FPS average. This sits comfortably above the 144Hz refresh rate common on modern displays while maintaining visual fidelity far beyond Low settings. At 4K, High settings still produce 149.1 FPS, which is competitive with high-refresh 4K monitors. The Ultra preset, while visually richest, drops to 151.2 FPS at 1440p and 96.7 FPS at 4K, making it the first setting tier where frame pacing becomes a concern for 144Hz displays. Medium settings at 1440p hit 283.3 FPS, but the jump from Medium to High costs only about 47 FPS while providing substantially better image quality. The data suggests that High is the sweet spot: it offers 57% more performance than Ultra at 1440p while staying within 17% of Medium's frame rate. At 1080p, High produces 327.3 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of virtually any monitor on the market, making higher settings more attractive at that resolution.

FAQ

*Q: Does the RTX 5090 bottleneck the Ryzen 5 5600GT in Undisputed?*

A: The measured frame rates indicate that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU becomes the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 524.9 FPS, while at 4K Low it drops to 255 FPS—a 51% reduction that shows the GPU is not the primary constraint at lower resolutions. The Ryzen 5 5600GT's 6 cores and 12 threads with a 4.60 GHz boost clock appear sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p, but the scaling pattern suggests CPU limits emerge above 400 FPS.

*Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Undisputed?*

A: The data shows 1440p as the optimal resolution. At High settings, the combo produces 236.5 FPS at 1440p, which is 59% higher than the 4K result of 149.1 FPS but only 28% lower than the 1080p result of 327.3 FPS. The 1440p High configuration balances the GPU's capabilities with the CPU's throughput, avoiding the extreme CPU bottleneck visible at 1080p while maintaining frame rates far above competitive thresholds.

Q: How does the Ultra preset compare to High in terms of frame rate cost?

A: At every resolution, Ultra costs roughly 35-40% of the High preset's performance. At 1080p, High yields 327.3 FPS versus Ultra's 207.6 FPS, a 36% reduction. At 1440p, the drop is from 236.5 to 151.2 FPS (36% reduction), and at 4K, from 149.1 to 96.7 FPS (35% reduction). The consistent percentage suggests the Ultra preset imposes a uniform rendering overhead across resolutions.

*Q: Is the RTX 5090's 32 GB VRAM utilized in Undisputed?*

A: The measured data does not report VRAM usage, but the GPU's 32 GB GDDR7 memory with 1.79 TB/s bandwidth and 512-bit bus provides far more capacity than a sports title like Undisputed requires. The benchmark results show that even at 4K Ultra, the combo maintains 96.7 FPS, indicating the GPU's memory subsystem is not a limiting factor in this game.

*Q: Can this combo drive a 240Hz monitor in Undisputed?*

A: At 1080p, yes—all settings except Ultra exceed 240 FPS (Low: 524.9, Medium: 392.6, High: 327.3). At 1440p, only Low (395.6 FPS) and Medium (283.3 FPS) break 240 FPS, while High falls just short at 236.5 FPS. At 4K, no preset reaches 240 FPS, with Low topping out at 255 FPS and High at 149.1 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that becomes progressively more GPU-bound as resolution increases, but with notable CPU limitations at lower resolutions. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p (524.9 FPS) to 1440p (395.6 FPS) represents a 25% reduction, while the 1440p to 4K drop (395.6 to 255 FPS) is a 36% reduction. This pattern—where the percentage loss increases with resolution—is unusual and indicates that at 1080p Low, the Ryzen 5 5600GT is severely limiting the RTX 5090. The CPU's 3.60 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost clocks with 6 Zen 3 cores simply cannot feed the GPU fast enough to scale properly at low resolutions.

At High settings, the scaling is more linear: 1080p (327.3 FPS) to 1440p (236.5 FPS) is a 28% drop, and 1440p to 4K (149.1 FPS) is a 37% drop. The similar percentage losses suggest that High settings distribute the load more evenly between CPU and GPU. At Ultra settings, the 1080p to 1440p drop (207.6 to 151.2 FPS) is 27%, while 1440p to 4K (151.2 to 96.7 FPS) is 36%. The consistent ~27-28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p across all settings, followed by a larger ~36-37% reduction from 1440p to 4K, indicates that the 4K transition places significant stress on the GPU while the 1080p to 1440p transition is more CPU-influenced.

How This Combo Ranks

Among 1,580 tested combinations in Undisputed, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 holds rank 27, placing it in the top 1.7% of all tested configurations. This ranking is remarkable given the CPU's mid-range positioning. The Ryzen 5 5600GT sits at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 5090 ranks at the 94th percentile among all GPUs. The combo's top-27 finish suggests that Undisputed is not exceptionally CPU-demanding, allowing the GPU's massive compute resources to dominate the ranking. The CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-10700, has a nearly identical average benchmark score (20,746 vs 20,740, a 0% delta), yet the combo ranking shows that pairing the 5600GT with the 5090 produces elite-level results in this specific title. The GPU's nearest rival, the RTX 5090 D, scores 84,241 versus 84,306 (0.1% higher), but this negligible difference does not affect the combo's top-tier positioning.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 5600GT's specifications—6 cores, 12 threads, 3.60 GHz base clock, 4.60 GHz boost—place it as a solid mid-range processor with a 65W TDP. Its Zen 3 architecture on TSMC's 7 nm process delivers strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2,438 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2,035. For Undisputed, a sports title that typically relies on a few primary threads for game logic and physics, the 5600GT's single-thread capabilities are more relevant than its multi-thread throughput.

The measured FPS data reveals the CPU's influence most clearly at 1080p Low, where the combo hits 524.9 FPS. This extreme frame rate suggests the CPU can maintain high instruction throughput, but the scaling pattern—where 4K Low still achieves 255 FPS—indicates that the GPU is not the bottleneck even at 4K with minimal settings. The CPU's 16 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide adequate data feeding for the RTX 5090 in this game. However, the 0.3% delta to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (average score 20,680 vs 20,740) and the -0.3% delta to the Intel Core i5-12490F show that the 5600GT is competitively positioned among its peers, making the top-27 combo ranking largely attributable to the GPU's dominance rather than exceptional CPU performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the RTX 5090 paired with the 5600GT delivers extraordinary frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 524.9 FPS, Medium 392.6 FPS, High 327.3 FPS, and Ultra 207.6 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 60% reduction in performance, with each settings tier costing roughly 20-25% of the previous tier's frame rate. These numbers far exceed any practical display refresh rate, suggesting that even at 1080p, the CPU begins to limit the GPU's potential—the 524.9 FPS Low result is likely near the effective ceiling for this processor in this game.

At 1440p, the results remain exceptionally high: Low hits 395.6 FPS, Medium 283.3 FPS, High 236.5 FPS, and Ultra 151.2 FPS. The 1440p High result of 236.5 FPS is particularly noteworthy, as it exceeds 240Hz-class monitor refresh rates by a small margin. The 1440p Ultra result of 151.2 FPS is still above 144Hz displays, making this resolution viable for competitive play at maximum settings.

At 4K (3840x2160), the GPU's workload becomes substantial. Low settings yield 255 FPS, Medium 179.3 FPS, High 149.1 FPS, and Ultra 96.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra result falls below 100 FPS for the first time in this dataset, indicating that even the RTX 5090 with its 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth faces challenges at maximum settings in 4K. The 4K High result of 149.1 FPS remains playable on high-refresh 4K monitors, while 4K Low's 255 FPS shows the GPU's raw capability when rendering load is minimized.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the dominant component in this pairing, and the measured data confirms its overwhelming influence on Undisputed's performance. With 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus delivering 1.79 TB/s bandwidth, the GPU has more than sufficient memory resources for any resolution or settings combination in this game. Its 21,760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs provide massive rasterization throughput, reflected in the 4K Low result of 255 FPS—a figure that exceeds what many GPUs achieve at 1080p.

The GPU's 2,407 MHz boost clock and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance allow it to maintain high frame rates even when the CPU is not fully saturating its pipeline. At 4K Ultra, the combo still manages 96.7 FPS, demonstrating that the 5090 can handle the most demanding preset at the highest resolution, albeit just below the 100 FPS threshold. The scaling from High to Ultra at 4K (149.1 to 96.7 FPS) represents a 35% performance cost, which is significant but not prohibitive for users prioritizing visual quality.

The GPU's 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 84,306, places it firmly in enthusiast territory. Its nearest rival, the RTX 5090 D, scores nearly identically (84,241, 0.1% higher), while the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 trails by 1.3% (83,209). The GPU's performance in Undisputed aligns with its benchmark positioning—it delivers top-tier frame rates that are only constrained by the CPU at lower resolutions. For users seeking maximum performance in this title, the 5090's capabilities are the primary driver of the combo's rank 27 finish, with the 5600GT serving as a competent but not exceptional supporting component.
