# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, ranking first out of 2,813 tested CPU-GPU combinations. This combo produces frame rates that range from a minimum of 101 FPS at 4K Ultra to a maximum of 578 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating that the system is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions and settings, while the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads prove more than sufficient to feed the flagship GPU even at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 500 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling behavior reveals a classic pattern of increasing GPU load as pixel count rises. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings, the average FPS drops from 344 to 249, a reduction of approximately 27.6%. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at High settings is steeper, with average FPS falling from 249 to 157, a 36.9% decrease. This escalating drop-off indicates that the RTX 5090 D's rendering workload scales super-linearly with resolution, which is typical for a GPU with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and a 512-bit memory bus delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth.

At Low settings, the resolution scaling is even more pronounced. The average FPS at 1080p Low is 578, which drops to 418 at 1440p Low (a 27.7% reduction) and then to 264 at 4K Low (a 36.8% reduction from 1440p). The fact that the 1080p Low result exceeds 500 FPS suggests that the CPU, with its 5.00 GHz boost clock, is still able to keep up with the GPU's output at this low graphical load. However, the consistent percentage drops across settings indicate that the GPU remains the primary limiting factor at all resolutions tested, as the CPU's performance ceiling is not reached even at the lowest settings.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic resolution scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 222, dropping to 160 at 1440p Ultra (a 27.9% reduction) and then to 101 at 4K Ultra (a 36.9% reduction from 1440p). This consistent pattern of roughly 28% and 37% drops across all settings suggests that the game's rendering pipeline scales predictably with pixel count, and the RTX 5090 D's compute resources are being utilized proportionally. The 4K Ultra result of 101 FPS is particularly notable, as it indicates that even the most demanding configuration remains playable on high-refresh-rate 4K displays.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings at each resolution. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset offers the best balance, delivering 190 FPS average with a minimum of 162 FPS and maximum of 219 FPS. This represents a 33.9% improvement over the High preset's 157 FPS while still maintaining a minimum frame rate well above the typical 144 Hz refresh rate threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 101 FPS, which is still playable but may not fully utilize high-refresh displays. The Low preset at 4K achieves 264 FPS but sacrifices visual quality that the Medium preset can restore with only a 28% performance cost.

At 1440p, the Medium preset again provides the most compelling experience, with an average of 301 FPS, minimum of 256 FPS, and maximum of 346 FPS. This configuration offers a 20.9% improvement over the High preset's 249 FPS and a substantial 46.8% improvement over the Ultra preset's 160 FPS. The 1440p Medium result of 301 FPS average is well above what any current display can refresh, making it the recommended choice for competitive play. For users prioritizing visual fidelity, the Ultra preset at 1440p still delivers 160 FPS, which exceeds the requirements of most high-refresh monitors.

At 1080p, the Low preset achieves 578 FPS, which is likely beyond the refresh rate of any available monitor. The Medium preset at 416 FPS (minimum 354 FPS) provides the best experience for high-refresh competitive displays, while the Ultra preset at 222 FPS still offers excellent smoothness. Given that the game is a sports title where responsiveness matters, the Medium preset at any resolution provides the best combination of visual quality and performance headroom, ensuring that minimum frame rates never dip below 162 FPS even at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, using TSMC's 5 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with a TDP of 65 watts. The processor's cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, totaling 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to maintain frame pacing and handle game logic, AI, and physics calculations. The benchmark results indicate that the 7500F is more than adequate for this task, as even at 1080p Low where the frame rate reaches 578 FPS, the CPU does not appear to bottleneck the GPU. The single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,218, suggests that the processor's fast boost clock of 5.00 GHz is sufficient to keep up with the RTX 5090 D's output.

The CPU's multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,799 and Geekbench multi-core score of 12,362, indicates that the 6-core configuration can handle the game's multi-threaded workloads without issue. The 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 24,964, places this processor in a competitive position against its nearest rivals, all of which score within 0.4% of each other. The 65-watt TDP and 5 nm process node contribute to efficient power delivery, allowing the CPU to sustain boost clocks during extended gaming sessions without thermal throttling.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a flagship graphics card from the GeForce 50-series, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB202 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 21,760 shading units, 680 TMUs, 176 ROPs, 170 RT cores, and 680 tensor cores, delivering 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and its memory clock runs at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective data rate.

The 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth, which is crucial for Undisputed at high resolutions. The 4K Ultra preset's average of 101 FPS demonstrates that the GPU's compute and memory resources are heavily utilized at this configuration. The 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77,712, confirms that this card is positioned among the top performers in the database.

The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 44,065 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14,326 indicate strong DirectX 12 performance, which is relevant for Undisputed's rendering engine. The 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI-enhanced features, though their impact on this particular title appears minimal based on the frame rates achieved. The 575-watt TDP and 950-watt suggested PSU requirement indicate that this is a power-hungry component, but the performance delivered in Undisputed justifies the power draw. The 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth ensures that the GPU's 32 GB frame buffer can be fed efficiently, preventing memory bandwidth from becoming a bottleneck even at 4K resolution with high-resolution textures.
