Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Undisputed, a sports title where the rendering load is surprisingly scalable. The data indicates a configuration that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, yet still retains enough CPU headroom to push extreme frame rates at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across the three primary resolutions and four quality presets, interpreting what the numbers reveal about the balance of this pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K illustrates a classic transition from CPU-bound to GPU-bound territory. At the High preset, the average frame rate drops from 285 FPS at 1920x1080 to 206 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 27.7%. Moving from 1440p to 3840x2160 sees a further decline to 130 FPS, a 36.9% decrease. This steepening curve is a clear indicator that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor as pixel count rises.

The Low preset shows an even more dramatic scaling pattern. The 1080p result of 479 FPS is extraordinarily high, suggesting that the CPU is doing the heavy lifting at this resolution. At 1440p, the frame rate falls to 346 FPS (a 27.8% drop), and at 4K it settles at 219 FPS (a 36.7% drop from 1440p). The fact that the 4K Low result (219 FPS) is still higher than the 4K High result (130 FPS) confirms that the RTX 4080 has ample compute headroom, and the preset is dictating the workload more than the resolution.

Comparing the Medium preset across resolutions reinforces this trend. The 1080p average is 345 FPS, dropping to 249 FPS at 1440p and 158 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are consistent with the other presets, showing a predictable scaling pattern. The Ultra preset, however, reveals a different bottleneck. At 1080p, it achieves 184 FPS, which drops to 133 FPS at 1440p and 84 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest in the entire dataset, indicating that the combination of high resolution and maximum settings places a substantial load on the GPU's shading and memory subsystems.

The scaling data suggests that at 1080p and even 1440p, the Ryzen 5 7400F's six cores with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz are sufficient to feed the RTX 4080. The frame rates are so high that any CPU limitation would likely manifest as inconsistent frame times rather than a hard average ceiling. At 4K, the GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth become the dominant factors, as the resolution scaling directly impacts the GPU's fillrate and memory throughput requirements.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the clear performance driver in this configuration, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides a substantial 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which is essential for maintaining smooth frame rates at 4K. The measured data shows that even at 4K Ultra, the GPU manages an 84 FPS average, a respectable result for a demanding scenario. This indicates that the memory subsystem is not being saturated to the point of severe frame drops, as the minimum FPS for the 4K Medium preset (134 FPS) is reasonably close to its average of 158 FPS.

The GPU's architecture, with 9,728 shading units and 112 ROPs, allows for significant scaling across presets. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is substantial: 219 FPS versus 84 FPS, a 135 FPS gap. This shows that the GPU's compute resources are heavily taxed by the Ultra preset's effects, likely including advanced lighting and shadow calculations. The boost clock of 2505 MHz provides the raw speed to push through these effects, while the base clock of 2205 MHz ensures a solid performance floor.

The RTX 4080's position relative to its nearest rivals is notably tight. The data shows it averages a 54,247 benchmark score, placing it just 0.1% behind the RTX 4080 SUPER (54,209) and 1.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54,828). This suggests that in Undisputed, the RTX 4080's performance is very much at the expected level for its class, with no anomalous behavior. The 2.6% deficit to the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55,698) is interesting, but it does not translate directly to game performance, as the measured FPS numbers are exceptionally high across all scenarios.

FAQ

*Q: Is the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F a bottleneck for the RTX 4080 in Undisputed?*

A: The data suggests minimal CPU bottlenecking. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 479 FPS, indicating the CPU can push far beyond typical display refresh rates. The bottleneck shifts to the GPU as resolution and settings increase, with 4K Ultra yielding 84 FPS, a workload heavily dependent on the GPU's 16 GB memory and 9,728 shading units.

Q: What is the best resolution for a 144Hz monitor with this hardware?

A: Based on the measured rows, 1440p High with a 206 FPS average and 1440p Ultra with a 133 FPS average are both viable. For a 144Hz display, 1440p High provides a 62 FPS buffer above the refresh rate, while 1440p Ultra sits 11 FPS below it. 4K High at 130 FPS also works if the monitor supports VRR, but 1440p High is the most consistent option.

Q: How much performance is gained by dropping from Ultra to High at 4K?

A: The average frame rate increases from 84 FPS at Ultra to 130 FPS at High, a 46 FPS improvement (a 54.8% increase). This substantial gain suggests that the Ultra preset introduces rendering features that disproportionately tax the RTX 4080, while High offers a more balanced workload.

Q: Does the 16 GB VRAM of the RTX 4080 matter for this game?

A: The measured results indicate that the 16 GB capacity is sufficient for all tested settings. At 4K Ultra, the GPU sustains an 84 FPS average without any reported minimum frame drops, implying that memory capacity is not a limiting factor. The 716.8 GB/s bandwidth is more crucial for maintaining throughput at high resolutions.

Q: How does the RTX 4080's benchmark score compare to its closest competitor?

A: The RTX 4080 scores 54,247 on average, which is 0.1% lower than the RTX 4080 SUPER's 54,209. This negligible difference implies that in Undisputed, the two GPUs would perform nearly identically, with less than a 1 FPS difference at any given resolution and preset.

Q: Is the 4K Ultra setting playable with this combo?

A: With an 84 FPS average at 3840x2160 Ultra, the game is playable, but it is the lowest measured result. The data shows that 4K Medium offers a 158 FPS average, which is a 74 FPS improvement, indicating that a slight settings reduction yields a far more comfortable frame rate for high-refresh displays.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following data represents the exact measured average frame rates for the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 combination in Undisputed.

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: 479 FPS average
• Medium: 345 FPS average (minimum 293 FPS, maximum 396 FPS)
• High: 285 FPS average
• Ultra: 184 FPS average

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: 346 FPS average
• Medium: 249 FPS average (minimum 212 FPS, maximum 286 FPS)
• High: 206 FPS average
• Ultra: 133 FPS average

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: 219 FPS average
• Medium: 158 FPS average (minimum 134 FPS, maximum 181 FPS)
• High: 130 FPS average
• Ultra: 84 FPS average

The Medium preset is the only one with reported minimum and maximum values, providing insight into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the 293 FPS minimum is 85% of the 345 FPS average, indicating a stable experience. At 1440p Medium, the 212 FPS minimum is 85% of the 249 FPS average, and at 4K Medium, the 134 FPS minimum is 85% of the 158 FPS average. This consistent ratio suggests that the game's frame pacing is predictable, with no sudden spikes in rendering complexity.

Settings Recommendations

For the best overall experience, the High preset at 2560x1440 offers the most balanced performance. The 206 FPS average is well above any standard 144Hz monitor's refresh rate, and the visual quality is significantly better than Medium. The step from High to Ultra at 1440p costs 73 FPS (206 to 133), which is a 35.4% reduction for what is likely a marginal visual improvement in a sports game where action is fast-paced.

At 1080p, the High preset is the recommended choice as well, with a 285 FPS average. The Ultra preset at 1080p (184 FPS) is still highly playable, but the 101 FPS difference to High suggests that the Ultra settings introduce effects that are not worth the frame rate penalty on a 1080p panel. For players with 4K displays, the Medium preset is the sweet spot, delivering a 158 FPS average. This is a 74 FPS improvement over High (130 FPS) and a 74 FPS improvement over Ultra (84 FPS), making it the only 4K preset that comfortably exceeds 144 FPS.

The Low preset is only recommended for competitive play at 1080p, where the 479 FPS average could theoretically provide the lowest input latency. However, the visual degradation is severe, and the Medium preset at 345 FPS still offers an enormous performance buffer. In all cases, the Medium preset's reported minimum frame rates are solid, suggesting that it is a safe choice for maintaining consistent frame times across all resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, plays a supporting role in this configuration. The CPU's base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.70 GHz provide sufficient single-thread performance for Undisputed, which is typical for a sports title. The measured 1080p Low result of 479 FPS demonstrates that the CPU is not a limiting factor at lower resolutions, as it can feed the GPU with enough draw calls to achieve extremely high frame rates.

The CPU's benchmark scores corroborate this. A Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 21,765 and a single-core score of 3,072 indicate strong raw compute capability. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache is beneficial for game logic and physics calculations. The PassMark single-thread score of 3,689 further confirms that the CPU can handle the per-thread workloads that games often present. In terms of its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7400F's average benchmark score of 32,750 is 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i5-14600T (32,707) and 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32,697).

The CPU's role becomes more pronounced at 1080p with lower settings, where the frame rates exceed 300 FPS. At these levels, the CPU's 12 threads are likely utilized for game simulation and AI, while the GPU waits for data. The fact that the 4K Ultra result (84 FPS) is so much lower than the 1080p Low result (479 FPS) suggests that the GPU's workload scales more aggressively with resolution than the CPU's, which is expected. The CPU's 65W TDP and 5 nm process node also indicate efficient power delivery, allowing the GPU to operate without thermal throttling from a shared chassis cooler.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 246th out of 3,718 tested combos. This places it in the top 6.6% of all configurations, which is a strong result. The rank reflects the overall capability of the system, but it is heavily influenced by the GPU's performance, as the CPU's benchmark percentile is 83rd among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 86th percentile.

The rank is particularly notable given the CPU is not a flagship model. The Ryzen 5 7400F's 83rd percentile ranking is respectable, but the RTX 4080's 86th percentile ranking is what propels the combo higher. The measured FPS data supports this, showing that the combo excels at high resolutions where the GPU is the primary driver. At 4K High, the 130 FPS average is a very strong result, and at 1440p High, the 206 FPS average is exceptional.

The delta between this combo's rank and the top 246 positions is likely due to combinations with higher-end CPUs, such as those with more cores or higher boost clocks, which could push frame rates even higher at 1080p. However, the data shows that at 4K, the GPU is the limiting factor, and the RTX 4080 is already performing at a level consistent with its nearest rivals. The combo's rank of 246 out of 3,718 indicates that it is a highly capable system that will deliver a smooth experience in Undisputed across all tested settings, with the only caveat being the 4K Ultra preset, which still achieves a playable 84 FPS.
