Undisputed

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in this pairing carries 8 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 128-bit bus, delivering 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The boost clock sits at 2460 MHz with a base of 1830 MHz, and the card is built on TSMC's 5 nm process with 18,900 million transistors. In a sports title like Undisputed, the GPU's memory subsystem often dictates how far settings can be pushed before frame pacing degrades — and the measured data here shows a clear pattern.

At 1080p, the RTX 4060 ranges from 270.3 FPS on Low to 106.4 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is roughly 164 FPS, which suggests the GPU is operating well within its memory capacity at this resolution. The 8 GB frame buffer is not being stressed at 1080p, so the limiting factor shifts to raw shader throughput and clock speed. The 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 figure supports this interpretation: the card has enough compute headroom to push high frame rates when memory bandwidth is not the bottleneck.

Move to 1440p, and the picture changes subtly. High settings deliver 118.4 FPS, while Ultra drops to 75.7 FPS. The delta between Medium and Ultra at 1440p is 65.2 FPS, compared to 91.1 FPS at 1080p for the same settings pair. This compression of performance differences as resolution climbs indicates that memory bandwidth — not raw compute — is beginning to constrain results. The 272.0 GB/s figure becomes more relevant at 1440p, where larger render targets demand more data movement per frame.

At 4K, the trend becomes stark. Ultra settings produce 49 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many players target. High settings manage 72.7 FPS, while Low hits 125.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 4K is 76.3 FPS — narrower than at 1080p (163.9 FPS) — which strongly implies the GPU is hitting a memory or fill-rate wall rather than a compute limit. The 128-bit bus and 8 GB VRAM are the likely culprits: higher resolutions require more texture data in flight, and the RTX 4060's bandwidth cannot keep pace with its shading units' appetite.

The RTX 4060's 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores are present in the silicon, but Undisputed likely does not stress ray tracing heavily given its sports genre. The data shows a card that is compute-rich but bandwidth-constrained at higher resolutions — a classic profile for NVIDIA's 60-class parts. The pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s are impressive on paper, but the 272.0 GB/s memory bandwidth becomes the ceiling when resolution climbs past 1440p.

FAQ — 4-6 Q&A pairs answerable from FACT PACK data

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded for this combo, and at what settings?

A: The highest measured average is 270.3 FPS at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This is more than double the 106.4 FPS seen at 1080p Ultra, showing how much headroom exists when graphical load is minimized.

Q: Does the combo maintain 60 FPS at 4K Ultra settings?

A: No. The measured average at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings is 49 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS target. Dropping to High settings at 4K raises the average to 72.7 FPS, comfortably above 60.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its closest rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 4060's average benchmark score is 23181, which is 0.7% higher than the Intel Arc B580's 23021 (deltaPct 0.7). It trails the AMD Radeon RX 6600M by 0.6% (23321) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti by 0.7% (23338).

Q: What is the CPU's percentile ranking among all tested processors?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X sits in the 78th percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 20680. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT, scores 20740 — a delta of -0.3%.

Q: Is there a settings preset that delivers over 100 FPS at all three resolutions?

A: Yes. High settings produce 160.8 FPS at 1080p, 118.4 FPS at 1440p, and 72.7 FPS at 4K — but the 4K result falls below 100. Medium settings yield 197.5 FPS at 1080p, 140.9 FPS at 1440p, and 91.7 FPS at 4K. Only Low settings exceed 100 FPS at every resolution tested, with 270.3, 197, and 125.3 FPS respectively.

Q: How does the combo rank relative to all tested combos in this game?

A: The combo ranks 906th out of 1580 tested combinations, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the field. This rank reflects the RTX 4060's 66th percentile GPU standing and the CPU's 78th percentile, though in-game performance depends heavily on the resolution and settings chosen.

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

The measured data reveals a clear sweet spot: High settings at 1440p. This configuration delivers 118.4 FPS, which is above the refresh rate of most standard monitors and well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The 4K High result of 72.7 FPS is also respectable, but the 1440p High setting offers a better balance between visual fidelity and frame rate headroom.

For players prioritizing frame rate above all else, Low settings at 1080p provide 270.3 FPS — a figure that exceeds even the fastest 240 Hz displays. However, this comes at the cost of visual quality. Medium settings at 1080p (197.5 FPS) or 1440p (140.9 FPS) are likely better choices for competitive play, as they retain moderate visual detail while keeping frame rates well above 120.

Ultra settings should be avoided at 4K, where the 49 FPS average dips below playable thresholds for many users. Even at 1440p, Ultra's 75.7 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The data suggests that the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus are not sufficient to make Ultra settings a comfortable experience at higher resolutions — the card's compute power can handle the load, but memory bandwidth becomes a limiting factor.

The 1080p Ultra result of 106.4 FPS is the only Ultra configuration that clears 100 FPS, making it the only Ultra setting worth considering for high-refresh-rate displays. For most users, High settings at 1440p or Medium at 1080p offer the best compromise between visual quality and performance, based strictly on the measured rows.

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

The scaling pattern across resolutions is revealing. At High settings, frame rates move from 160.8 FPS at 1080p to 118.4 FPS at 1440p (a 26.4% drop) and then to 72.7 FPS at 4K (a 38.6% drop from 1440p). This accelerating decline suggests the GPU is being progressively more stressed as pixel count increases.

At Low settings, the same pattern appears: 270.3 FPS at 1080p, 197 FPS at 1440p (27.1% drop), and 125.3 FPS at 4K (36.4% drop from 1440p). The consistency of these percentages across different settings presets is telling — it means the scaling behavior is largely resolution-driven rather than settings-driven. This points to the RTX 4060's memory bandwidth as the primary limiting factor, since the 272.0 GB/s figure does not scale with resolution in a way that matches the frame rate declines.

Ultra settings show a different pattern: 106.4 FPS at 1080p, 75.7 FPS at 1440p (28.9% drop), and 49 FPS at 4K (35.3% drop from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 49 FPS is below half of the 1080p Ultra figure, indicating that the combination of high settings and high resolution overwhelms the memory subsystem. The 8 GB VRAM capacity may also be a factor — at 4K Ultra, texture data could exceed available memory, forcing additional traffic over the 128-bit bus.

The data strongly indicates that the RTX 4060 is the bottleneck at higher resolutions, not the CPU. The Ryzen 5 5600X's strong single-thread score of 917 in 3dMark and 2622 in Cinebench R23 suggests it can feed frames faster than the GPU can render them at 4K. The near-linear scaling from 1080p to 1440p, followed by the steeper drop to 4K, is characteristic of a GPU that runs out of memory bandwidth before it runs out of compute capacity.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This pairing of AMD Ryzen 5 5600X with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 906th out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed. That places it in the 57th percentile of all combos — a middle-of-the-pack result that reflects the GPU's 66th percentile standing among all GPUs and the CPU's 78th percentile among all CPUs.

The rank suggests that while both components are individually respectable, their combination does not boost to the top tier in this game. The RTX 4060's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks — the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (0.6% higher score) and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (0.7% higher) — are similarly positioned, which means the GPU is not an outlier in its performance class.

Given the CPU's strong 78th percentile ranking, the combo's 906th rank out of 1580 is likely dragged down by the GPU's more modest 66th percentile. In a game like Undisputed where frame rates at 1080p exceed 160 FPS on High settings, the GPU is clearly the limiting component in most configurations. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads at 3.70 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost are sufficient to keep up, as evidenced by the high frame rates achieved.

The rank also implies that many other combos — 674 of them, to be exact — outperform this pairing in Undisputed. This is not surprising given the RTX 4060's position as a mid-range GPU, but the data shows that this combo can still deliver excellent experiences at 1080p and 1440p, particularly at Medium and High settings.

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X brings 6 cores and 12 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Built on TSMC's 7 nm process with Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer), the CPU has 32 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. Its 65 W TDP and 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die make it an efficient processor.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but it becomes more relevant at 1080p where frame rates are highest. The 270.3 FPS Low-settings result at 1080p requires the CPU to deliver frames at a rate of over 4.5 ms per frame — a demanding pace that the 5600X handles thanks to its strong single-thread performance. The 3dmark single-thread score of 917 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2622 indicate excellent per-core throughput, which is crucial for games that rely on a few heavily loaded threads.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities — 3dmark max-threads score of 5588 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18578 — provide headroom for background tasks and game logic threads. However, the data suggests that even at 1080p Low settings, the GPU is still the primary bottleneck, as the 5600X could likely push even higher frame rates if paired with a stronger GPU.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks are the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT (avg score 20740, delta -0.3%), Intel Core i7-10700 (20746, -0.3%), Intel Core i5-12490F (20794, -0.5%), and Intel Xeon 6325P (20538, 0.7%). These small deltas indicate that the 5600X is well-positioned among its peers, neither significantly ahead nor behind in raw processing power.

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

1920x1080: The lowest resolution tested produces the highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings deliver 270.3 FPS average, Medium settings achieve 197.5 FPS, High settings reach 160.8 FPS, and Ultra settings manage 106.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is steep — each step up in settings costs roughly 40-55 FPS at this resolution.

2560x1440: At 1440p, the frame rates remain strong but show the GPU beginning to work harder. Low settings produce 197 FPS, Medium settings hit 140.9 FPS, High settings reach 118.4 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 75.7 FPS. The gap between Medium and High narrows to 22.5 FPS (from 36.7 FPS at 1080p), suggesting diminishing returns from settings changes as resolution increases.

3840x2160: At 4K, the RTX 4060's limitations become apparent. Low settings deliver 125.3 FPS — still very playable — but Medium settings drop to 91.7 FPS, High settings fall to 72.7 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 49 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is less than half the 1080p Ultra figure, and it's the only configuration in the entire measured set that falls below 60 FPS.

Across all resolutions, Low settings consistently deliver more than double the FPS of Ultra settings. At 1080p, the ratio is 2.54x (270.3 / 106.4); at 1440p, it's 2.60x (197 / 75.7); at 4K, it's 2.56x (125.3 / 49). This consistency indicates that the performance cost of Ultra settings is relatively stable regardless of resolution, though the absolute impact at 4K is more noticeable because the baseline frame rates are already lower.

The data shows a well-rounded pairing that excels at 1080p and 1440p but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with demanding settings. The RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus are adequate for mainstream gaming, but the 272.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a constraint at higher resolutions. The Ryzen 5 5600X provides ample CPU performance to avoid bottlenecking the GPU in most scenarios, as evidenced by the high frame rates achieved even at 1080p Low settings.
