Undisputed

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread desktop processor built on the Zen 4 (Raphael) architecture, using a 5 nm TSMC process. It operates with a base clock of 4.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The chip features a substantial L3 cache of 96 MB shared across all cores, alongside 64 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2 per core. This cache configuration is significant for gaming workloads, as the large L3 pool helps reduce memory latency and improves data reuse, which can disproportionately benefit frame pacing in simulation-heavy titles like sports games.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU’s PassMark scores provide context for how the processor handles the game’s AI, physics, and match logic. The multi-threaded score is 25,047, while the single-thread score is 3,494. The physics test yields 2,779, and integer math scores 70,774. These numbers suggest a balanced performer: the single-thread score is strong enough for the primary game thread, and the multi-thread score ensures background tasks (e.g., opponent AI, collision detection) do not starve the main loop. The data compression score of 271,649 and random string sorting of 32,999 are less directly relevant to gaming but indicate high throughput for any background decompression or asset loading.

The CPU’s percentile rank against all CPUs is 89, meaning it outperforms 89% of processors in the database. Its average benchmark score is 44,573. Using the nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7500X3D is effectively tied with the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (44,466 average score, 0.2% delta) and the Intel Core i9-13950HX (44,342, 0.5% delta), while being 0.6% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 (44,309). It is 0.7% behind the Intel Core i5-14600 (44,889). These sub-1% deltas mean that in raw processor compute, the 7500X3D sits in a very tight pack with these rivals, so any in-game differences are more likely attributable to the GPU or memory subsystem than CPU core count alone.

For Undisputed, the 6-core/12-thread configuration is more than sufficient. The game does not appear to scale heavily beyond a few threads, as indicated by the measured FPS being largely consistent across resolutions (see later sections). At 1080p, where the CPU is more likely to be a limiting factor, the processor’s single-thread performance ensures that the game’s logic does not bottleneck the frame rate. The 96 MB L3 cache is a notable advantage, as it likely helps keep frequently accessed game data (e.g., fighter animations, physics state) on-chip, reducing reliance on system memory bandwidth, which is rated at 83.2 GB/s via dual-channel DDR5.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is an Ada Lovelace architecture GPU, built on a 5 nm process, with 18,900 million transistors on a 159 mm² die. It has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective), while the GPU core runs at 1830 MHz base and 2460 MHz boost. With 3,072 shading units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 24 RT cores, and 96 tensor cores, the GPU delivers 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. Its texture rate is 236.2 GTexel/s, and pixel rate is 118.1 GPixel/s.

For Undisputed, the 8 GB VRAM capacity is a critical factor. At 4K Ultra settings, the measured average FPS drops to 48, which is below the 60 FPS threshold typically desired for smooth gameplay. This suggests that at 4K Ultra, the game is likely exceeding the VRAM budget or the GPU’s compute capacity. The 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are modest by modern standards, which can become a bottleneck at high resolutions with high texture detail. However, at lower settings, the GPU shows headroom: at 4K Low, the average FPS is 124, indicating that the core compute is not the primary limitation, but rather the memory subsystem or VRAM allocation at higher presets.

The GPU’s PassMark G3D score is 19,545, with a percentile rank of 61 among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 17,639. Comparing to nearest rivals, the RTX 4060 is essentially tied with the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (17,666, -0.2% delta) and the AMD Radeon 780M (17,588, 0.3% delta), while being 0.5% ahead of the Radeon Pro 560 (17,551) and 0.7% ahead of the Radeon Pro 460 (17,509). These deltas are tiny, meaning that in synthetic compute, the RTX 4060 is not dramatically faster than those older or integrated parts, but its advantage lies in feature set (e.g., RT cores, DLSS support, modern driver optimizations) rather than raw throughput.

In-game, the GPU’s role is clearly resolution-dependent. At 1080p, the RTX 4060 can push 271 FPS on Low settings, which is well beyond refresh rates of typical monitors. At 1440p, it maintains 196 FPS on Low and 117 FPS on High. At 4K, it drops to 124 FPS on Low but only 48 FPS on Ultra. The data indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at 4K Ultra, as the CPU (which is highly capable per its benchmarks) cannot compensate for the pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth demands. The 8 GB VRAM is likely a constraint at 4K Ultra, as texture data may spill into slower system memory, causing frame drops.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal balance between visual fidelity and frame rate for this combination is the High preset across most resolutions. At 1080p High, the average FPS is 162, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate displays and provides a smooth experience. At 1440p High, the average FPS is 117, which is still above the 60 FPS threshold and suitable for most users. Even at 4K High, the average FPS is 74, which is playable and offers a good visual experience without dropping into the 40s.

The Medium preset provides a higher frame rate but with diminishing returns on visual quality. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 195, a 20% increase over High, but the visual difference between Medium and High in a sports game like Undisputed is often noticeable in shadow quality and texture filtering. At 1440p Medium, the average FPS is 141, which is a significant jump from High’s 117. At 4K Medium, the average FPS is 89, which is a substantial improvement over High’s 74, and this may be the sweet spot for 4K users who want to stay above 60 FPS.

The Low preset offers the highest frame rates (271 FPS at 1080p, 196 FPS at 1440p, 124 FPS at 4K) but sacrifices visual quality, which may be acceptable for competitive play. The Ultra preset is not recommended except for users with 1080p displays, where it achieves 104 FPS; at 1440p, it drops to 75 FPS, and at 4K, it falls to 48 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for most users.

The data suggests that High at 1080p or 1440p is the best experience for the majority of users, balancing visual quality and frame rate. For 4K, Medium is the recommended preset, as it maintains an average of 89 FPS while still offering decent visuals. Ultra should be reserved for screenshots or lower resolutions, given its steep performance cost.

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

Analyzing the FPS scaling across resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 162 at 1080p, to 117 at 1440p, to 74 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 45 FPS (a 28% reduction), while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 43 FPS (a 37% reduction from 1440p). This is a fairly linear scaling pattern, suggesting that neither component is drastically bottlenecking at any single resolution, but the GPU is increasingly the limiting factor as pixel count rises.

At Low settings, the scaling is more dramatic: 271 FPS at 1080p, 196 FPS at 1440p, and 124 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 75 FPS (28% reduction), and from 1440p to 4K is 72 FPS (37% reduction). The percentage drops are similar to High settings, indicating that the GPU’s compute and memory bandwidth are scaling proportionally with resolution, even at Low settings where the CPU has more headroom. This suggests that the RTX 4060’s 272.0 GB/s bandwidth and 8 GB VRAM are the primary constraints, rather than the CPU.

At Medium settings, the pattern holds: 195 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p, and 89 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 54 FPS (28%), and from 1440p to 4K is 52 FPS (37%). The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at all resolutions, with the CPU providing ample headroom. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the FPS to be nearly identical at 1080p and 1440p, but the data shows a clear resolution dependency.

The fact that the FPS does not double when going from 4K to 1080p (which would be expected if the GPU were purely fill-rate limited) suggests that the 8 GB VRAM is also a factor. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 48, while at 1080p Ultra, it is 104, a 56 FPS difference (54% reduction). This is a larger percentage drop than at other settings, indicating that at Ultra, the VRAM capacity is likely exceeded at 4K, causing additional penalties beyond just pixel count. Overall, the scaling analysis shows that the RTX 4060 is the dominant limiting component for this combo, with the CPU rarely constraining performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 271 FPS. The Medium preset yields 195 FPS, with a minimum of 166 and a maximum of 225. High settings produce 162 FPS, while Ultra drops to 104 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the combo is capable of delivering high frame rates even on Ultra, which is suitable for 144Hz monitors or competitive play on lower settings.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 196 FPS. Medium settings achieve 141 FPS, with a minimum of 120 and a maximum of 162. High settings produce 117 FPS, and Ultra drops to 75 FPS. The pattern shows a 55 FPS difference between Low and Ultra, which is a 28% reduction. The Medium preset’s minimum of 120 FPS is above the 60 FPS threshold, ensuring smooth gameplay even during intense moments.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 124 FPS. Medium settings achieve 89 FPS, with a minimum of 76 and a maximum of 103. High settings produce 74 FPS, and Ultra drops to 48 FPS. The Medium preset’s minimum of 76 FPS is still above 60, making it the highest quality setting that guarantees playable frame rates at 4K. The Ultra preset’s 48 FPS average is below the playable threshold, and the lack of min/max data for other presets suggests that the Medium preset was the only one with recorded frame variability, indicating potential stutter at higher settings.

The data shows a clear hierarchy: Low > Medium > High > Ultra at all resolutions, with the gaps between presets widening as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 167 FPS (62% reduction), while at 4K, the difference is 76 FPS (61% reduction). The consistency of these percentages again points to the GPU as the primary scaling factor.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1,503 out of 2,813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the combo in the 53rd percentile of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms slightly more than half of the tested configurations. Given the CPU’s high percentile rank (89) and the GPU’s mid-range rank (61), this overall ranking is expected: the CPU is a top-tier performer, but the GPU holds the combo back from reaching higher positions.

The rank of 1,503 suggests that while this combo is capable of playing Undisputed at playable frame rates on most settings, it is not among the top performers. The CPU’s strong synthetic benchmarks (e.g., 25,047 multi-thread score) do not translate into a top-tier ranking because the game’s performance is more dependent on GPU capability, as shown by the resolution scaling analysis. The GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are likely the limiting factors, preventing the combo from achieving higher ranks that would be expected with a more powerful GPU.

Compared to the GPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks (AMD Radeon HD 7790, Radeon 780M, etc.), the RTX 4060 is only marginally faster, but those rivals are either much older or integrated graphics. In a real-world game like Undisputed, the RTX 4060’s modern features and driver support allow it to perform better than its synthetic score suggests, but it still cannot compete with higher-tier GPUs that would push the combo into the top quartile.

The combo’s rank of 1,503 out of 2,813 means that 1,310 combos perform better in this game. This is a solid mid-pack result, indicating that users with this setup can enjoy the game at high settings at 1080p and 1440p, and at medium settings at 4K, without major compromises. However, for users seeking maximum performance, upgrading the GPU would be the most effective path to improving the rank, as the CPU is already a top-tier performer.
