Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, and fabricated on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It operates at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. In synthetic benchmarks, the processor scores 22,799 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3,218 in single-core, with a 3DMark max-thread score of 6,379. Its average benchmark score is 24,993, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7500F is effectively tied with the Intel Core i7-11850H, posting a delta of 0.1% (24,974), and sits 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (25,057) and AMD Ryzen 5 8400F (25,064). It edges out the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX by 0.4% (24,897).

For a sports title like Undisputed, the CPU's contribution is largely about maintaining a stable frame pace rather than pushing extreme frame rates. The data indicates that at 1080p with Low settings, the combination hits 547.3 FPS, a figure so high that the processor's single-thread performance (974 in 3DMark single-thread, 3,841 in Passmark single-thread) becomes the primary ceiling. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is more than sufficient for the game's physics and AI calculations, as evidenced by the scaling from 1080p to 4K. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 96.4 FPS, showing that the CPU is not the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The processor's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s and dual-channel DDR5 support provide ample data throughput for the engine, while the 32 MB L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed data close to the cores. The Ryzen 5 7500F's performance profile suggests it can comfortably feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but at 4K, the graphics card takes over as the limiting factor.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 7500F's 6 cores and 12 threads, clocked between 3.70 GHz and 5.00 GHz, deliver strong single-threaded performance that is critical for a sports game's simulation logic. In Undisputed, the CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and Passmark single-thread score of 3,841 indicate it can handle the per-frame physics calculations without introducing stutter. The multi-threaded scores, such as 22,799 in Cinebench R23 and 26,825 in Passmark multithread, show that the processor has headroom for background tasks and game engine threads. The benchmark data reveals that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 547.3 FPS, which is 2.2x the 4K Low result of 251.1 FPS, suggesting the CPU is capable of driving frame rates far beyond typical display refresh rates at lower resolutions.

The processor's position in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, with an average score of 24,993, places it in the upper mid-range tier. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11850H, scores 24,974, a delta of just 0.1%, meaning the two are statistically inseparable in general compute. The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and Ryzen 5 8400F are each 0.3% ahead, while the Ryzen 9 6900HX trails by 0.4%. These margins are negligible in real-world gaming, so the CPU's role in Undisputed is to provide consistent frame pacing rather than a decisive advantage. With a TDP of 65 W, the processor runs efficiently, and its unlocked multiplier allows for overclocking, though the measured results reflect stock operation. The 5 nm process node and 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die contribute to its efficiency, but the game's performance at 4K Ultra (96.4 FPS) demonstrates that the GPU is the dominant constraint in that scenario.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a flagship graphics card built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, using the GB202 chip fabricated on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It houses 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster operation pipelines, with 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The card features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. Its compute capabilities include 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6. The RTX 5090's average benchmark score is 84,306, placing it in the 94th percentile of all GPUs.

In Undisputed, the RTX 5090's massive memory bandwidth and 32 GB VRAM ensure that texture streaming and high-resolution assets are never a bottleneck. The benchmark results show that at 4K Ultra, the card delivers 96.4 FPS, which is a demanding workload given the pixel count. The GPU's nearest rival, the RTX 5090 D, scores 84,241 (0.1% behind), while the RTX 5050 Mobile scores 84,171 (0.2% behind), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 scores 83,209 (1.3% behind). The NVIDIA CMP 40HX is 1.6% ahead at 85,637. These deltas indicate that the RTX 5090 is at the top of the GPU hierarchy, and its performance in this game reflects that. The card's 575 W TDP and suggested 950 W PSU highlight its power hunger, but the data shows it delivers exceptional frame rates across all settings and resolutions. At 1080p Low, the GPU pushes 547.3 FPS, which is likely limited by the CPU, while at 4K Ultra, it drops to 96.4 FPS, showing a clear GPU-bound scenario.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the shifting bottleneck between CPU and GPU. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 547.3 at 1080p to 396.7 at 1440p (a 27.5% decrease) and further to 251.1 at 4K (a 36.7% decrease from 1440p). This steep decline indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is becoming the limiting factor as resolution increases, since the CPU has enough headroom at 1080p to push beyond 500 FPS. At Medium settings, the drop is from 394.3 FPS at 1080p to 287.5 FPS at 1440p (27.1% decrease) and then to 179.7 FPS at 4K (37.5% decrease from 1440p), showing a similar pattern. The High settings show 327.5 FPS at 1080p, 240 FPS at 1440p (26.7% decrease), and 152.1 FPS at 4K (36.6% decrease from 1440p).

Ultra settings exhibit the largest relative drop, from 208.3 FPS at 1080p to 153.3 FPS at 1440p (26.4% decrease) and then to 96.4 FPS at 4K (37.1% decrease from 1440p). The consistent ~27% drop from 1080p to 1440p and ~37% drop from 1440p to 4K across all settings suggests that the scaling is primarily driven by pixel count and GPU compute load, not by CPU limitations. The fact that 4K Ultra still achieves 96.4 FPS demonstrates that the RTX 5090 is powerful enough to handle the game at high resolutions, but the frame rate is heavily dependent on the graphics settings. At 1080p Low, the system is likely CPU-bound, as the 547.3 FPS figure exceeds what most displays can show, but the GPU's role becomes more pronounced as resolution climbs.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Undisputed with this combination covers three resolutions and four settings levels, providing a complete picture of performance. At 1080p, the average FPS ranges from 547.3 at Low to 208.3 at Ultra, with Medium at 394.3 and High at 327.5. The jump from Low to Medium is a 27.9% drop, while the jump from High to Ultra is a 36.4% drop, indicating that the Ultra preset is significantly more demanding. At 1440p, the averages are 396.7 (Low), 287.5 (Medium), 240 (High), and 153.3 (Ultra). The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at each setting shows a consistent decrease of roughly 27%, which aligns with the increased pixel count (2.25x). At 4K, the averages are 251.1 (Low), 179.7 (Medium), 152.1 (High), and 96.4 (Ultra). The drop from 1440p to 4K is around 37% at each setting, again consistent with the pixel scaling.

The data shows that the RTX 5090 can maintain playable frame rates at 4K Ultra (96.4 FPS), which is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. At 1440p Ultra, the 153.3 FPS result is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors, while 1080p Ultra at 208.3 FPS is suitable for 240 Hz displays. The Low settings results at 1080p (547.3 FPS) and 1440p (396.7 FPS) are extreme, indicating that the game is not graphically intensive at low presets and the CPU becomes the bottleneck. The combo ranks 10th out of 1,580 combinations in this game, placing it in the top 1% of tested hardware configurations. This ranking reflects the RTX 5090's dominance, as the CPU's 82nd percentile score is lower than the GPU's 94th percentile, but the combination still delivers top-tier results.
