GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the undisputed performance driver in this configuration. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides a 1.79 TB/s bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the textures and assets in Undisputed at any resolution. The memory clock runs at 1750 MHz, with an effective data rate of 28 Gbps, and the GPU’s base and boost clocks are 2017 MHz and 2407 MHz, respectively. These specifications contribute to a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s, which are the raw metrics that dictate how quickly the card can fill frames with detailed graphics.

The benchmark results for the GPU underscore its dominance. In 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12), it scores 18,355, and in Geekbench Vulkan, it reaches 376,728. Its Passmark G3D score is 39,650. These numbers are consistent with a top-tier graphics solution. The GPU’s role in Undisputed is clear: it is the primary determinant of performance at 4K and with high or ultra settings. For instance, at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 95, while at 4K Low, it jumps to 248. This massive scaling factor of 2.6x from Low to Ultra settings is a direct result of the GPU’s workload increasing with graphical fidelity. The RTX 5090’s architecture, Blackwell 2.0, with 21,760 shading units and 170 RT cores, ensures that even the most demanding visual presets are handled with authority, though the data suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU begins to play a more significant role in limiting maximum frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of how the system scales from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p with Low settings, the average FPS is 542. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 392, a decrease of 27.7%. At 4K Low, the average is 248, which is a 54.2% drop from the 1080p figure. This scaling is typical for a system that becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution increases. The fact that 1080p Low yields over 500 FPS indicates that the CPU is the limiting factor at that point, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames faster than the CPU can feed it data.

However, the scaling pattern changes when settings are increased. At High settings, the drop from 1080p (323 FPS) to 1440p (233 FPS) is 27.9%, and from 1080p to 4K (148 FPS) is 54.2%. At Ultra settings, the drop from 1080p (208 FPS) to 1440p (150 FPS) is 27.9%, and to 4K (95 FPS) is 54.3%. This consistent percentage drop across all settings is a strong indicator that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 1440p and 4K. The CPU’s workload remains relatively constant, but the GPU’s render time increases with resolution, leading to predictable frame rate reductions. The data shows the system transitions from a CPU-limited state at 1080p Low to a GPU-limited state at 4K Ultra, with the crossover point occurring somewhere between these extremes. This is classic behavior for a high-end CPU paired with a flagship GPU, where the GPU’s raw power is only fully utilized at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS table provides a comprehensive look at performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 542 at Low settings to 208 at Ultra. The Medium preset at 1080p yields an average of 390 FPS, with a minimum of 332 and a maximum of 449. This indicates that even at 1080p Medium, the system is pushing frame rates that far exceed the refresh rate of most monitors. At High settings, the average is 323 FPS, which still provides a highly responsive experience.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high. Low settings produce an average of 392 FPS, while High settings drop to 233 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 282 FPS, with a minimum of 240 and a maximum of 324. Ultra settings at this resolution still deliver 150 FPS on average, which is more than enough for a smooth, tear-free experience on high-refresh-rate 1440p displays.

At 3840x2160, the system demonstrates its 4K capability. Low settings average 248 FPS, making it possible to play at very high frame rates even at 4K. High settings average 148 FPS, which is excellent for a 144Hz 4K monitor. The Medium preset averages 178 FPS, with a minimum of 152 and a maximum of 205, showing that even on Medium settings, the frame rate remains well above 144 FPS. The most demanding preset, Ultra, still manages an average of 95 FPS, which is playable but may not fully saturate a 120Hz or 144Hz display. The data clearly shows that for maximum visual fidelity at 4K, the Ultra preset is the only one that brings the average FPS below the 100 FPS mark, while all other presets at 4K are capable of exceeding 144 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F plays a crucial supporting role in this combination. It is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael), built on TSMC’s 5 nm process. Its base clock is 3.70 GHz, which can boost up to 4.70 GHz. The processor features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache, which is beneficial for gaming workloads that rely on fast data access. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, providing a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, which is ample for feeding the six cores.

In Cinebench R23, the CPU scores 21,765 in multi-core and 3,072 in single-core. Its Passmark multithread score is 25,645, and its single-thread score is 3,689. These benchmarks show that the 7400F is a strong performer for its class, though its multi-core score of 21,765 is not as high as higher-core-count processors. However, for Undisputed, a sports game that typically does not utilize more than a few cores heavily, the 6-core/12-thread layout is sufficient. The game’s performance is more dependent on single-core throughput and memory latency, where the 7400F’s 4.70 GHz boost clock and 32 MB L3 cache are beneficial.

The data suggests the CPU’s role becomes more important at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, where the average FPS is 542, the CPU is the bottleneck, as the GPU is capable of rendering frames much faster than the CPU can process the game logic and draw calls. The 7400F’s single-core performance, evidenced by its 3,072 score in Cinebench R23 single-core, is what allows it to push frame rates this high. As resolution and settings increase, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the CPU’s influence on the average FPS diminishes. The fact that the FPS drop from 1440p to 4K is consistent across all settings (around 35-37%) indicates that the CPU is not a limiting factor at these higher resolutions, as the GPU’s render time dominates the frame time. The 7400F provides enough headroom to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 5090 in any scenario, ensuring that the GPU’s full potential is realized.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the user's display and performance priorities. For players with a 1080p monitor, the High preset (323 FPS) or even Ultra (208 FPS) are both excellent choices, as they provide high visual quality while maintaining frame rates far above the refresh rate of any 1080p display. The Medium preset at 1080p (390 FPS) is also a strong option if the goal is to maximize frame rate for competitive play, though the visual difference between Medium and High is significant enough that High is generally recommended for most users.

For 1440p displays, the High preset (233 FPS) is the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, as it easily saturates a 240Hz monitor. The Ultra preset (150 FPS) is also viable for 144Hz displays, providing the highest image quality without dropping below the refresh rate threshold. The Medium preset (282 FPS) is not recommended over High, as the visual gains from High are substantial and the frame rate is still very high.

At 4K, the recommendations change. The High preset (148 FPS) is the ideal choice for a 144Hz display, delivering near-maximum refresh rates with excellent image quality. The Medium preset (178 FPS) is also excellent for 144Hz displays and may be preferred by users who prioritize higher frame rates over minor visual improvements. The Ultra preset (95 FPS) is the most demanding and is only recommended for users with a 60Hz to 100Hz display who want the absolute best visual quality, as it provides a playable experience but does not take full advantage of high-refresh-rate panels. The Low preset at any resolution is not recommended, as the visual downgrade is severe, and the frame rate gains are unnecessary given the high performance of the other presets. In summary, High is the best all-around preset at 1440p and 4K, while at 1080p, both High and Ultra are excellent choices, with Ultra being the pick for maximum visual quality without sacrificing the high frame rates the system can deliver.
