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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is built on the Ampere architecture with the GA102 chip, manufactured on Samsung's 8 nm process. It houses 8,704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units, along with 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1440 MHz and a boost clock of 1710 MHz, with memory running at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The 10 GB of GDDR6X memory is connected via a 320-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s. The card's raw compute capabilities include an FP32 throughput of 29.77 TFLOPS, a texture rate of 465.1 GTexel/s, and a pixel rate of 164.2 GPixel/s. It holds a 68th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23,172, and its PassMark G3D score is 25,086.

The RTX 3080's role in Undisputed becomes increasingly dominant as resolution scales. The 10 GB VRAM buffer is sufficient for the game's texture and geometry demands across all tested settings, as evidenced by the fact that even at 4K Ultra, the combo still achieves 63 FPS. The memory bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s is a critical factor here; at 4K resolution, the data throughput required for high-resolution textures places significant stress on the memory subsystem. The GPU's nearest rivals, such as the NVIDIA P106-100 and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16, are 0.3% behind in average score, while the AMD Radeon RX 6600M and AMD Radeon R9 M290X are 0.4% behind, which shows the RTX 3080 is at the edge of a competitive cluster in synthetic benchmarks. However, in actual gameplay, the RTX 3080 demonstrates a clear ability to maintain playable frame rates even under the heaviest load, with the data showing that the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences across resolution steps.

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

The measured FPS data reveals a distinct pattern of performance scaling across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 359 FPS, while at 4K with Low settings, it drops to 164 FPS. This represents a decline of 195 FPS, or roughly 54%, when moving from 1080p to 4K. The scaling is even more pronounced at High settings: 214 FPS at 1080p falls to 98 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 116 FPS (approximately 54% as well). For Medium settings, the drop is from 258 FPS at 1080p to 118 FPS at 4K, a 140 FPS decrease (around 54%). Ultra settings show the tightest absolute spread, with 137 FPS at 1080p dropping to 63 FPS at 4K, a 74 FPS reduction (about 54%).

This consistent ~54% reduction in frame rate across all settings when moving from 1080p to 4K is a strong indicator that the GPU is the limiting component in this configuration. The CPU, with its strong single-thread and multi-thread scores, is capable of delivering 359 FPS at 1080p Low, which is far beyond what the RTX 3080 can sustain at 4K. The fact that the percentage drop is nearly identical across all settings suggests that the GPU's rendering workload scales linearly with pixel count, and the CPU is not introducing a bottleneck that would flatten the curve at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the frame rates are exceptionally high, even at Ultra (137 FPS), which indicates that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output. However, as resolution increases, the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the determining factors, as evidenced by the sharp decline in FPS. The data supports a conclusion that this pairing is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the clear performance ceiling.

The data shows a clear and consistent hierarchy: frame rates decrease as settings increase for any given resolution, and they also decrease as resolution increases for any given setting. The Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum FPS values across all resolutions, providing a fuller picture of frame time variance. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum is 78 FPS, while at 1440p Medium it is 56 FPS, and at 4K Medium it narrows to 36 FPS. This tightening of the FPS range at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU's workload becomes more consistent, with less variance in frame delivery as the rendering pipeline becomes the bottleneck. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p results in a 101 FPS drop, while the jump from High to Ultra at 4K results in a 35 FPS drop, indicating that the relative cost of each settings tier varies with resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings preset depends heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, all presets deliver playable frame rates, but the Ultra preset at 137 FPS is the best choice for users with high-refresh-rate monitors, as it provides the highest visual fidelity while still exceeding 120 FPS. For those seeking maximum smoothness at 1080p, the Low preset at 359 FPS is excessive for most displays, making the Medium preset at 258 FPS a more balanced choice that still offers significant headroom above 144 Hz. At 1440p, the High preset at 154 FPS is the recommended sweet spot, as it provides a strong balance between visual quality and performance, comfortably exceeding 144 FPS. The Ultra preset at 99 FPS is also viable for users prioritizing image quality over frame rate, but it falls below the 100 FPS threshold, which may be noticeable on high-refresh-rate panels. The Medium preset at 187 FPS is an excellent alternative for competitive play, offering a substantial FPS boost with only a modest reduction in visual fidelity.

At 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and settings choices must be made more carefully. The High preset at 98 FPS is the recommended choice for a smooth experience on 60 Hz displays, as it delivers near-100 FPS with high visual quality. The Medium preset at 118 FPS is also strong, providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS and a 20 FPS improvement over High, which could be beneficial for users with variable refresh rate monitors. The Low preset at 164 FPS is the best option for users who prioritize frame rate above all else, but the visual downgrade may be too severe for a game like Undisputed where character models and arena detail matter. The Ultra preset at 63 FPS is only recommended for users with 60 Hz displays who insist on maximum visual fidelity, as it barely meets the standard refresh rate threshold. Overall, the data indicates that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions, delivering 258 FPS at 1080p, 187 FPS at 1440p, and 118 FPS at 4K, which are all highly playable and demonstrate the combo's versatility.
