Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a formidable performance profile in Undisputed, demonstrating a clear GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions while retaining exceptional headroom for high-refresh-rate play at 1080p. The benchmark data reveals that this combination ranks in the 69th percentile of all tested combos, occupying the 486th position out of 1580 total configurations. The system excels at delivering smooth, competitive framerates across the board, with the most demanding Ultra preset still maintaining playable performance even at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K underscores the RTX 3080's role as the primary bottleneck in this configuration. At High settings, the average framerate drops from 213.1 FPS at 1920x1080 to 153.7 FPS at 2560x1440, representing a 27.9% reduction, before settling at 97.5 FPS at 3840x2160. This trajectory indicates that the GPU is being progressively saturated as pixel count increases, with the 4K figure being less than half of the 1080p result.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced when examining the Ultra preset, where the 4K average of 60.9 FPS is less than half the 138.2 FPS achieved at 1080p. This stark difference confirms that the RTX 3080's 10 GB GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are being fully exercised at higher resolutions. The Low preset tells a different story: the 357 FPS at 1080p versus 165.7 FPS at 4K shows a 53.6% drop, suggesting that at lower graphical loads, the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration begins to influence results more significantly.

The data suggests that for players targeting 4K, the GPU is the definitive limiting component, with the framerate scaling closely tracking resolution increases. Conversely, at 1080p Low settings, the system approaches the practical limits of the CPU's capability, as evidenced by the relatively smaller gains from Medium to Low presets at that resolution.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, built on the Ampere architecture with a GA102 chip, provides the computational backbone for this configuration. Its boost clock of 1710 MHz and 8704 shading units deliver the raw processing power necessary for high-fidelity sports simulations. The 10 GB GDDR6X memory operates at 19 Gbps effective speed across a 320-bit bus, yielding 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth — a critical asset for handling the detailed textures and physics calculations inherent to Undisputed.

The GPU's performance percentile of 80 places it ahead of most competing graphics cards, with its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon Pro Duo, scoring only 0.2% higher in aggregate benchmarks. The data shows that the RTX 3080's memory subsystem is particularly well-suited to this game, as evidenced by the consistent framerate deltas between resolution steps.

At 1080p Medium settings, the system achieves 260.7 FPS, while the jump to High settings yields 213.1 FPS — a 18.3% reduction that reflects the increased GPU workload from enhanced shading and texture filtering. The Ultra preset's 138.2 FPS at 1080p demonstrates that even at maximum settings, the RTX 3080 maintains headroom for high refresh rate displays, though the 4K Ultra result of 60.9 FPS indicates that 60 Hz panels remain the realistic ceiling for the most demanding configuration.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of 1580 tested combinations, this pairing of the Ryzen 5 5600X and RTX 3080 secures the 486th position, placing it in the upper echelon of configurations. This ranking reflects a balanced system where neither component severely bottlenecks the other across typical gaming scenarios. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking among all processors complements the GPU's 80th percentile standing, creating a synergistic pairing that performs admirably in Undisputed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 3080 delivers exceptional performance: Low settings produce 357 FPS, Medium achieves 260.7 FPS, High reaches 213.1 FPS, and Ultra sustains 138.2 FPS. These figures demonstrate that at 1080p, the system has ample headroom for even the most demanding competitive scenarios.

Moving to 2560x1440, the framerates remain robust: Low hits 262.1 FPS, Medium delivers 188.9 FPS, High maintains 153.7 FPS, and Ultra still achieves 103.1 FPS. The 1440p results show a more pronounced separation between presets, with Ultra being 60.7% lower than Low, reflecting the increased GPU workload.

At 3840x2160, the scaling becomes more pronounced: Low produces 165.7 FPS, Medium yields 119.1 FPS, High reaches 97.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 60.9 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is particularly notable, as it represents the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, though it still achieves a playable average.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, based on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm process, provides the processing foundation for this system. Its 6 cores and 12 threads operate at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost up to 4.60 GHz, with a 32 MB L3 cache facilitating efficient data access for game logic and physics calculations. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18578 and single-core result of 2622 indicate strong performance for both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and settings. The transition from 1080p Low (357 FPS) to Medium (260.7 FPS) represents a 27% reduction, which is less severe than the 33% drop observed between Medium and High at the same resolution. This pattern suggests that at lower settings, the CPU's 12 threads are adequately feeding the GPU, but as graphical complexity increases, the GPU becomes the limiting factor.

The CPU's 78th percentile ranking places it near rivals like the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT (-0.3%) and Intel Core i7-10700 (-0.3%), confirming its competitive position. The processor's 65 W TDP and DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth ensure it does not bottleneck the RTX 3080's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface, which is essential for maintaining high framerates.

Settings Recommendations

For players prioritizing maximum framerate, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 357 FPS, making it ideal for ultra-high refresh rate displays. However, the Medium preset at 260.7 FPS provides a better balance of visual quality and performance for most users, as the 27% framerate reduction yields noticeably improved graphics.

At 1440p, the High preset at 153.7 FPS offers the best combination of visual fidelity and smoothness for high-refresh gaming. The Medium preset at 188.9 FPS is also viable for players who prefer higher framerates, while the Ultra preset at 103.1 FPS remains fully playable for those prioritizing image quality.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset at 119.1 FPS provides the best experience, offering a 22% improvement over High settings while maintaining visual quality that exceeds Low. The High preset at 97.5 FPS is also excellent for 4K displays, while the Ultra preset at 60.9 FPS is suitable for 60 Hz panels but leaves minimal headroom. The data indicates that the Medium or High presets at 4K represent the optimal balance for this configuration.
