Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER pairing delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, with benchmark results indicating that the system is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher settings. The data shows a clear hierarchy: at 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 476 FPS, while at 4K with Ultra settings, it drops to 83 FPS. This range confirms that the RTX 4080 SUPER, with its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth, is the primary driver of frame rates, while the 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 5 7500F provides ample headroom to avoid CPU bottlenecks in this sports title.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a steep performance curve that is characteristic of a GPU-limited workload. At 1080p with High settings, the system produces 284 FPS, which rises to 205 FPS at 1440p and further falls to 130 FPS at 4K. This represents a 54% drop in average frame rate from 1080p to 4K at the High preset, a pattern that holds across all settings tiers. The scaling is nearly linear with pixel count, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER's rendering pipeline is the limiting factor rather than the CPU or memory subsystem.

The most dramatic scaling appears at the Low preset, where the system leaps from 218 FPS at 4K to 476 FPS at 1080p—a 118% increase. This wide spread suggests that Undisputed's low preset removes significant GPU load, allowing the RTX 4080 SUPER to operate far below its saturation point. Conversely, the Ultra preset shows the tightest scaling: 83 FPS at 4K, 132 FPS at 1440p, and 183 FPS at 1080p, with a 55% increase from 4K to 1080p. The narrowing gap at Ultra indicates that the game's highest settings impose a fixed cost that scales with resolution, but the absolute frame rates remain playable even at 4K.

At 1080p, the system is clearly not CPU-limited. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz and a 3DMark single-thread score of 974, can feed frames faster than the RTX 4080 SUPER can render them at lower resolutions. Evidence for this comes from the 1080p Low result of 476 FPS, which is nearly double the 4K High result of 130 FPS. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the 1080p and 1440p results to converge more closely. Instead, the consistent scaling across all three resolutions points to the GPU as the sole performance gate, even at the lowest settings.

The 4K Ultra result of 83 FPS is notable because it is the only measured point below 100 FPS. This indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER, despite its 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 285.6 GPixel/s pixel rate, reaches its practical limit when the game's full visual feature set is enabled at 3840x2160. The 4K Medium result of 157 FPS, with a minimum of 133 FPS and maximum of 180 FPS, shows that stepping down one tier from Ultra recovers 74 FPS, or 89% more performance. This suggests that the Ultra preset includes effects that are disproportionately expensive at high resolutions.

For competitive play, the 1440p Medium result of 248 FPS (min 211, max 285) and the 1080p High result of 284 FPS offer the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate headroom. The 4K High result of 130 FPS, while smooth for single-player, may not satisfy players targeting 144 Hz displays. The data indicates that resolution scaling in Undisputed is predictable and GPU-bound, with no unexpected cliffs or CPU-induced plateaus across the tested range.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data points to the High preset as the optimal choice for most players, regardless of resolution. At 1080p, High delivers 284 FPS, which is 83 FPS lower than Medium's 343 FPS but still vastly above any display refresh rate. At 1440p, High produces 205 FPS, providing a 45 FPS margin over Medium's 248 FPS while maintaining visual quality. At 4K, High achieves 130 FPS, which is 47 FPS higher than Ultra's 83 FPS and 27 FPS lower than Medium's 157 FPS—a reasonable trade-off for the visual uplift.

For players with 144 Hz monitors, the Medium preset is the safest recommendation at 4K. The 157 FPS average at 3840x2160 Medium, with a minimum of 133 FPS, ensures the display stays within its refresh window even during demanding scenes. At 1440p, Medium's 248 FPS (min 211) comfortably exceeds 240 Hz displays, making it ideal for high-refresh competitive play. The 1080p Medium result of 343 FPS (min 291) is similarly overkill for any current monitor.

The Ultra preset is only advisable for players prioritizing image quality over frame rate, and only at 1080p or 1440p. At 1080p Ultra, the system produces 183 FPS, which is still smooth on most displays. At 1440p Ultra, 132 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for drops. At 4K, Ultra's 83 FPS is borderline for fast-paced sports gameplay, where input latency and frame consistency matter more than shadows or reflections.

The Low preset, while delivering 476 FPS at 1080p and 344 FPS at 1440p, sacrifices too much visual fidelity for the frame rate gains. Given that High at 1440p still produces 205 FPS, there is no practical reason to drop below Medium on this hardware. The data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER has enough headroom to run High or Medium at all tested resolutions, making Low a last-resort option only for players chasing maximum refresh rates on 360 Hz or faster panels.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete FPS dataset spans 12 configurations: three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings tiers (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). At 1080p, the results are 476 FPS (Low), 343 FPS (Medium, min 291, max 394), 284 FPS (High), and 183 FPS (Ultra). The 1080p Medium result is the only configuration with a reported minimum and maximum, showing a 103 FPS range between its worst and best frames.

At 1440p, the system produces 344 FPS (Low), 248 FPS (Medium, min 211, max 285), 205 FPS (High), and 132 FPS (Ultra). The 1440p Medium frame range of 74 FPS is tighter than the 1080p Medium spread, suggesting that the GPU is more consistently loaded at higher resolutions. The 1440p Low result of 344 FPS is nearly identical to the 1080p Medium result of 343 FPS, highlighting how resolution and settings interact to produce similar workloads.

At 4K, the numbers are 218 FPS (Low), 157 FPS (Medium, min 133, max 180), 130 FPS (High), and 83 FPS (Ultra). The 4K Medium frame range of 47 FPS is the narrowest of all Medium presets, indicating stable performance even at the highest pixel count. The step from 4K Medium to 4K High costs 27 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 47 FPS—the latter being the largest single-tier drop in the dataset.

Across all resolutions, the Low-to-Medium transition is the smallest performance hit, costing 133 FPS at 1080p, 96 FPS at 1440p, and 61 FPS at 4K. The Medium-to-High transition costs 59 FPS at 1080p, 43 FPS at 1440p, and 27 FPS at 4K. The High-to-Ultra transition is the most expensive, costing 101 FPS at 1080p, 73 FPS at 1440p, and 47 FPS at 4K. This pattern shows that Ultra is a premium tier with diminishing returns, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU has more headroom.

The data also reveals that the system never drops below 83 FPS in any configuration, and the minimum reported frame rate across all Medium presets is 133 FPS at 4K. This floor indicates that even the most demanding settings remain playable, with no configuration falling into sub-60 FPS territory. The highest minimum is 291 FPS at 1080p Medium, which is nearly five times the lowest minimum.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant performance component in this pairing, and its specifications directly explain the measured FPS patterns. With 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, the GPU has the raw throughput to handle Undisputed's rendering demands. The 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 816.0 GTexel/s texture rate are more than sufficient for a sports title, where character models and arena environments are less complex than open-world or first-person shooters.

The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for the 4K Ultra result of 83 FPS. At 3840x2160, the frame buffer demand is high, and the GPU's memory subsystem must keep up with the pixel and texture data. The 1438 MHz memory clock (23 Gbps effective) ensures that the GPU does not stall on memory access, even when the game's Ultra preset loads high-resolution textures and effects.

The RTX 4080 SUPER's boost clock of 2550 MHz, up from a base of 2295 MHz, allows it to dynamically scale performance based on thermal and power headroom. The 320 W TDP and triple-slot cooler design indicate that the card is built for sustained high clocks under load. The 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores are present but likely underutilized in Undisputed, as the game's sports genre does not heavily rely on ray tracing or DLSS-based upscaling.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its position in the market. Its PassMark G3D score of 34,245 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,600 place it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 260,075 and OpenCL score of 219,065 show strong compute performance, though these are not directly relevant to Undisputed's rasterization workload. The GPU's DirectX 12 score of 134 in PassMark, while lower than older APIs, reflects the card's focus on modern rendering paths.

The nearest rival data shows the RTX 4080 SUPER is nearly identical to the standard RTX 4080 in average benchmark score (54,209 vs 54,247, a 0.1% difference). It trails the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X by 1.1%, but leads the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB by 2.7% and the AMD Radeon 8060S by 2.8%. These margins are small, confirming that the RTX 4080 SUPER sits in a performance tier where minor clock and memory differences separate cards.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is best illustrated by the 4K Ultra to 4K High drop of 47 FPS. This 36% performance penalty for enabling the Ultra preset suggests that the tier adds expensive post-processing, shadow, and texture features that stress the GPU's fill rate and bandwidth. The fact that the system can still deliver 130 FPS at 4K High, however, shows that the GPU has ample reserve capacity for most gaming scenarios.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, plays a supporting role in this configuration, and the measured FPS data confirms it does not bottleneck the GPU. The CPU's base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.00 GHz, combined with its Zen 4 architecture on a 5 nm TSMC process, provide strong single-thread performance that is essential for game logic and physics. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,218 and 3DMark single-thread score of 974 indicate that the CPU can process game threads quickly enough to keep the RTX 4080 SUPER fed.

The CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are also adequate. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,799 and 3DMark max-thread score of 6,379 show that the 6-core design can handle parallel workloads, though Undisputed is unlikely to fully utilize all 12 threads. The PassMark multi-thread score of 26,825 and Geekbench multi-core score of 12,362 place the CPU in the 77th percentile of all processors, which is respectable for a mid-range desktop chip.

The CPU's memory subsystem, with dual-channel DDR5 support and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, is well-matched to the GPU's 736.3 GB/s. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache provides fast access to frequently used data, reducing the need for slower main memory accesses. The L1 cache of 64 KB per core and L2 cache of 1 MB per core offer low-latency storage for hot data, which is beneficial for the CPU's game loop calculations.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 24,964 places it in close competition with several rival chips. It is 0.1% faster than the Intel Core i7-11850H (24,935), 0.2% faster than the Intel Core i7-13620H (24,911), and 0.4% faster than the Intel Core 5 210H (24,872). It trails the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F by 0.2% (25,005). These tight margins indicate that the Ryzen 5 7500F is competitively positioned among modern mid-range CPUs.

In Undisputed, the CPU's impact is most visible at lower resolutions and settings, where the GPU is less stressed. At 1080p Low, the system produces 476 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame delivery rate. If the CPU were weaker, we would expect the 1080p Low and 1080p Medium results to be closer, as the GPU would be idling while waiting for CPU data. Instead, the 133 FPS gap between Low and Medium at 1080p shows that the CPU can still push frames faster than the GPU can render them at higher settings.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and AMD Socket AM5 platform, with PCIe Gen 5 support for 24 lanes, provide a solid foundation for the RTX 4080 SUPER. The CPU's release date of July 2023 and active production status indicate that it is a current-generation part, well-suited for pairing with a 2024-era GPU. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 6,376, nearly identical to its max-thread score of 6,379, confirms that the chip's performance does not degrade when all threads are active, which is important for maintaining consistent frame times in demanding scenes.
