Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination sits in the lower-middle tier of tested hardware pairings for Undisputed, with a combo rank of 2933 out of 3718 tested configurations. This places the pairing in approximately the 21st percentile of all tested combos, meaning roughly four out of every five tested systems deliver higher average frame rates in this boxing title. The ranking reflects a fundamental imbalance: the RTX 2060's 6 GB GDDR6 memory and Turing architecture are the primary constraint, while the Ryzen 5 5600X's six Zen 3 cores provide ample processing headroom that the GPU cannot fully exploit at higher settings. The data suggests this is a pairing where the CPU consistently outperforms the GPU's capabilities, particularly as resolution and graphical fidelity increase. The combination's percentile ranking among all GPUs (58th) and CPUs (75th) reinforces this interpretation, showing the processor is notably stronger relative to its peers than the graphics card is relative to its own competitive set.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank of 2933 out of 3718 combos is a sobering assessment for this hardware pairing in Undisputed. With roughly 78.8% of tested combinations outperforming it, the Ryzen 5 5600X + RTX 2060 is positioned as an entry-level to mid-range configuration for this sports title. The ranking is particularly telling because it reflects actual measured gameplay data, not synthetic predictions, and the results show a system that is playable but far from competitive with modern mid-range offerings. The CPU's 75th percentile standing among all processors contrasts sharply with the GPU's 58th percentile, creating a scenario where the processor is significantly better than the graphics solution relative to their respective markets. This delta suggests that users upgrading from the RTX 2060 to a more powerful GPU would see substantial gains without needing to replace the Ryzen 5 5600X, which maintains strong benchmark scores including a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 11838 and a single-core score of 1541. The combination's rank also reflects the RTX 2060's position relative to its nearest rivals, where it sits nearly tied with the GTX 580 (0% delta), barely ahead of the Radeon 680M (0.1% delta), and slightly behind the RTX 3050 OEM (-0.6% delta) in average benchmark scores. This tight clustering around the 15290 average benchmark score shows the GPU is at the edge of its performance class, making the overall combo rank more dependent on the game's optimization for Turing architecture than on raw computational power.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060's role in Undisputed is defined by its 6 GB GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and its TU106 chip clocked at 1365 MHz base and 1680 MHz boost. These specifications create a GPU that performs admirably at lower settings but struggles to maintain high frame rates as texture quality and post-processing effects increase memory pressure. The 1920 shading units, 120 texture mapping units, and 48 raster output pipelines are arranged in a configuration that excels at 1080p but shows diminishing returns at higher resolutions. With 30 RT cores and 240 tensor cores, the card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, though Undisputed's sports gameplay likely doesn't leverage ray tracing heavily, meaning those cores contribute little to the measured results. The GPU's FP32 performance of 6.451 TFLOPS and texture rate of 201.6 GTexel/s provide a baseline that the data shows is sufficient for 1080p High settings at 124 FPS average, but the card's 12 nm process node and 160 W TDP indicate an older design that is increasingly outclassed by more efficient architectures. The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: the RTX 2060 delivers playable frame rates at 1080p across all settings (80 FPS at Ultra to 209 FPS at Low), but at 4K Ultra, performance drops to a barely playable 37 FPS average. The GPU's 58th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its average benchmark score of 15290 place it in the same performance tier as integrated graphics like the Radeon 680M (0.1% delta), which is a striking indicator of how the landscape has shifted since this card's 2019 release.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data from 1080p to 4K reveals how the RTX 2060 becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the combination achieves 209 FPS on Low settings, 150 FPS on Medium, 124 FPS on High, and 80 FPS on Ultra. Stepping up to 2560x1440, those numbers drop to 151, 109, 90, and 58 FPS respectively, representing reductions of 28%, 27%, 27%, and 28% across the settings spectrum. Moving to 3840x2160, the performance falls further to 95 FPS on Low, 69 FPS on Medium, 57 FPS on High, and 37 FPS on Ultra, which translates to 55% lower FPS at Low, 54% lower at Medium, 54% lower at High, and 54% lower at Ultra compared to 1080p. The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings is a strong indicator that the GPU's memory bandwidth and fill rate are the primary constraints, rather than CPU limitations or game engine bottlenecks. The scaling pattern suggests that at 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5600X's strong single-thread performance (evidenced by a 917 3DMark single-thread score and 1541 Cinebench R23 single-core score) is sufficient to feed the GPU, but as resolution increases and pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K, the RTX 2060's 6 GB memory capacity and 336.0 GB/s bandwidth become inadequate. The min FPS data points available for Medium settings further illustrate this: at 1080p Medium, the minimum FPS is 128 with a maximum of 173, while at 1440p Medium, the minimum drops to 92 with a maximum of 125, and at 4K Medium, the minimum is 58 with a maximum of 79. This narrowing of the FPS range at higher resolutions indicates the GPU is operating closer to its ceiling, with less headroom for frame time spikes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combination delivers its strongest performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 209 FPS, Medium produces 150 FPS with a minimum of 128 and maximum of 173, High produces 124 FPS, and Ultra produces 80 FPS. These figures indicate that at 1080p, the RTX 2060 has sufficient headroom to handle even the most demanding settings, though the jump from High to Ultra represents a 35% performance penalty (from 124 to 80 FPS) that may not justify the visual improvements. Moving to 2560x1440, the measured averages are 151 FPS at Low, 109 FPS at Medium (with min/max of 92/125), 90 FPS at High, and 58 FPS at Ultra. The 1440p results show a more pronounced difference between settings tiers, with Low being 61% faster than High and 160% faster than Ultra. At 3840x2160, the performance drops to 95 FPS at Low, 69 FPS at Medium (with min/max of 58/79), 57 FPS at High, and 37 FPS at Ultra. The 4K Ultra result of 37 FPS average is below the threshold for smooth gameplay, while the 4K Low result of 95 FPS shows the GPU can still perform when graphical demands are reduced. The data reveals that the RTX 2060's sweet spot is 1080p with High settings, offering 124 FPS average, which balances visual fidelity with performance. For players who prioritize frame rate above all else, 1080p Low at 209 FPS provides a competitive advantage, while 1440p Medium at 109 FPS offers a middle ground for users with 1440p monitors.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X's role in this combination is to provide robust processing power that, in Undisputed, is rarely the bottleneck. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 (Vermeer) architecture on a 7 nm process, the CPU boosts to 4.60 GHz from a 3.70 GHz base clock, delivering strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The 32 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide ample data throughput for game logic and physics calculations. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 11838 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1541 in single-core, alongside a Geekbench multi-core score of 9173 and single-core score of 1989. These results place it in the 75th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21771 that puts it in a virtual tie with the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (0.1% delta) and ahead of the Intel Core i7-11700 (-0.5% delta). In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's 3DMark scores (917 single-thread, 1793 for 2 threads, 3363 for 4 threads, 4811 for 8 threads, and 5588 for max threads) suggest that the game's core simulation benefits from the high single-thread performance, but the measured FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor well before the CPU is maximized. The CPU's 65 W TDP and 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die make it an efficient choice that pairs well with the RTX 2060's 160 W TDP, but the benchmark data indicates that this efficiency does not translate to superior gaming performance at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combination depend on the player's display resolution and performance priorities. At 1920x1080, the High preset at 124 FPS average offers the best balance between visual quality and smoothness, providing a significant improvement over Ultra's 80 FPS while maintaining the visual enhancements over Medium. For players with 1440p monitors, the Medium preset at 109 FPS average (with a minimum of 92 FPS) is the recommended choice, as it delivers playable frame rates while avoiding the steep performance drop to High at 90 FPS and the barely playable 58 FPS at Ultra. At 4K resolution, the data suggests that only Low settings at 95 FPS provide a satisfactory experience, as Medium at 69 FPS may be acceptable for some players but High at 57 FPS and Ultra at 37 FPS fall below the threshold for responsive gameplay. The measured scaling patterns indicate that the RTX 2060's 6 GB VRAM is the primary constraint at higher resolutions, so players should prioritize lower texture and shadow settings to maintain frame rates. For competitive play where frame rate is paramount, 1080p Low at 209 FPS is the clear choice, offering a 39% advantage over 1080p Medium and a 61% advantage over 1080p High. The data also shows that the Medium preset provides the most consistent frame pacing, with the min/max ranges at 1080p (128-173), 1440p (92-125), and 4K (58-79) demonstrating that this setting tier maintains a narrower FPS band than other presets, which can reduce perceived stuttering during gameplay.
