Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 pairing delivers an extraordinary performance envelope in Undisputed, with frame rates that remain exceptionally high even at 4K Ultra settings. The data reveals a system with immense headroom, where the limiting factor shifts dramatically depending on the resolution and quality preset selected.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling across resolutions tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies in this combination. At the Low preset, the RTX 4090 is so unconstrained that the CPU becomes the primary limiting factor, resulting in a relatively modest drop from 530 FPS at 1080p to 383 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 27.7%. Pushing further to 4K Low yields 242 FPS, which represents another 36.8% decline from the 1440p figure. This steepening curve at higher resolutions indicates that while the CPU still holds some sway at 1440p, the GPU begins to take on more of the rendering load as pixel count increases.

The High preset shows a similar pattern but with a more balanced distribution. At 1080p, the combo produces 315 FPS, which falls to 228 FPS at 1440p—a 27.6% drop that mirrors the Low preset's scaling almost exactly. Moving to 4K High brings the average down to 144 FPS, a 36.8% reduction from 1440p. This consistency across presets suggests that the Ryzen 5 7500X3D's 96 MB of shared L3 cache provides enough compute headroom to keep the GPU fed until the pixel throughput demands become overwhelming.

The Medium preset introduces the only min and max FPS data in the measurement set, offering insight into frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the average sits at 381 FPS with a minimum of 324 FPS and a maximum of 438 FPS, a spread of 114 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 275 FPS with a min of 234 and max of 317, while 4K Medium delivers 174 FPS average with a min of 148 and max of 200. The narrowing gap between min and max at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes more consistently saturated, reducing the variance that CPU-bound scenarios can introduce.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling curve. From 203 FPS at 1080p, the average falls to 147 FPS at 1440p—a 27.6% decline—and then to 93 FPS at 4K, a 36.7% drop. This pattern reveals that even with the RTX 4090's 24 GB of GDDR6X memory and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth, the Ultra preset's additional effects and geometry push the GPU into a state where resolution scaling becomes more punishing. The data indicates that at 1080p and 1440p, the combo remains heavily CPU-bound even at Ultra, while 4K Ultra finally shifts the balance toward the GPU as the primary constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 achieves a combo rank of 123 out of 2,813 tested combinations in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the top 4.4% of all tested configurations, a remarkable showing that underscores the synergistic strength of this hardware pairing.

This positioning suggests that while the RTX 4090 is exceptionally powerful, the database's GPU rankings include workstation and prosumer parts that can compete in specific compute metrics.

The combination of an 89th percentile CPU and 88th percentile GPU yielding a top 4.4% combo rank in this game indicates that Undisputed responds particularly well to this pairing's balance of high single-thread performance and massive GPU throughput.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 brings overwhelming graphics horsepower to Undisputed, built on the AD102 chip with 16,384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output pipelines. The Ada Lovelace architecture operates at a base clock of 2235 MHz with a boost clock of 2520 MHz, and the memory runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective throughput. This configuration produces a pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 compute reaching 82.58 TFLOPS.

The 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which proves more than sufficient for Undisputed's boxing arenas and character models. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the GPU still manages 93 FPS average, which indicates that even the most demanding preset doesn't fully saturate the memory subsystem. The 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores are present but likely underutilized in this sports title, as the game's rendering workload appears to favor raw rasterization throughput.

The GPU's benchmark scores reflect its dominance, with a Passmark G3D score of 38,194 and a Passmark GPU Compute score of 26,613. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields 9,223, while Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores reach 255,416 and 271,631 respectively. These figures place the RTX 4090 firmly in the top tier of graphics hardware, and the measured FPS in Undisputed confirms that the card's theoretical capabilities translate directly to gameplay performance.

The RTX 4090's role in this combo becomes increasingly important as resolution and settings increase. At 1080p Low, the GPU is barely stressed, with the CPU driving 530 FPS. However, at 4K Ultra, the GPU's 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute becomes the dominant factor, with the average dropping to 93 FPS. The GPU's 450 W TDP and triple-slot design indicate the thermal and power headroom required to sustain these performance levels, though the measured data shows consistent frame delivery across all tested configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 530 FPS, which represents the highest frame rate in the entire measurement set. The Medium preset averages 381 FPS with a minimum of 324 FPS and maximum of 438 FPS, showing a 114 FPS range. High settings yield 315 FPS on average, while Ultra drops to 203 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the CPU is the primary limiter, as even the most demanding preset maintains triple-digit frame rates that far exceed typical display refresh rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains remarkably high. Low settings deliver 383 FPS average, while Medium produces 275 FPS with a minimum of 234 FPS and maximum of 317 FPS. High settings achieve 228 FPS, and Ultra settles at 147 FPS. The 1440p results show a more pronounced GPU influence, with the gap between Low and Ultra widening from 327 FPS at 1080p to 236 FPS at 1440p. The Medium preset's min-max spread of 83 FPS at this resolution suggests slightly more consistent frame pacing than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload becomes substantial. Low settings still manage 242 FPS average, which is impressive for 4K. Medium delivers 174 FPS with a minimum of 148 FPS and maximum of 200 FPS, a 52 FPS range that indicates more stable performance under GPU-bound conditions. High settings produce 144 FPS, while Ultra maintains 93 FPS. The 4K data reveals that even at the highest resolution, this combo never drops below 93 FPS average, making it suitable for high-refresh-rate 4K displays on most presets.

The Ultra preset shows the most significant scaling penalties across resolutions. From 203 FPS at 1080p to 147 FPS at 1440p to 93 FPS at 4K, the average frame rate drops by 27.6% and then 36.7% respectively. This progressive decline indicates that Ultra settings introduce GPU-intensive effects that scale non-linearly with pixel count, making 4K Ultra the only configuration where the RTX 4090's performance ceiling is meaningfully approached.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D serves as the central processing unit in this combo, featuring 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture. The processor operates at a base clock of 4.00 GHz with a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, and its 96 MB of shared L3 cache is the defining characteristic that sets it apart from standard Ryzen 5 parts. The 65 W TDP and 5 nm TSMC process node contribute to efficient operation, while the 11,270 million transistors on a 71 mm² die enable the large cache implementation.

The CPU's benchmark results show a balanced profile. The Passmark single-thread score of 3,494 indicates strong per-core performance, which is critical for Undisputed's physics and AI calculations. The multithread score of 25,047 reflects the 12-thread capability, while the floating-point math score of 43,594 and integer math score of 70,774 demonstrate robust compute throughput. The data compression score of 271,649 and encryption score of 15,797 highlight the CPU's versatility beyond gaming workloads.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the 530 FPS average far exceeds what the GPU alone could produce, indicating that the CPU is feeding frames as fast as the rendering pipeline can accept them. The 96 MB L3 cache likely helps maintain high hit rates for the game's frequently accessed data structures, reducing memory latency and keeping the CPU's six cores fully utilized.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks all show less than 1% delta in average score, suggesting that the 7500X3D's performance is well-matched to other high-end processors. However, the specific combination of 6 cores, 12 threads, and the massive L3 cache appears particularly well-suited to Undisputed's workload, as evidenced by the top-tier combo rank of 123 out of 2,813. The processor's 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs, combined with the GPU's 88th percentile, creates a balanced pairing that avoids significant bottlenecking in either direction.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimizing the Undisputed experience with this hardware combination. For players targeting 4K resolution, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, delivering 174 FPS average with a minimum of 148 FPS. This configuration ensures smooth gameplay even during intense boxing sequences, while the High preset's 144 FPS average also remains viable for 144 Hz displays. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 93 FPS, which may be acceptable for 90 Hz displays but represents a significant visual-to-performance tradeoff.

At 1440p, the High preset emerges as the recommended choice, providing 228 FPS average that comfortably exceeds 144 Hz refresh rates while maintaining robust visual fidelity. The Medium preset's 275 FPS average offers additional headroom for competitive play, though the diminishing visual returns may not justify the slight reduction in quality. The Ultra preset at 147 FPS still delivers a playable experience for 144 Hz panels, but the Medium and High presets provide more consistent frame delivery.

For 1080p users, the Ultra preset's 203 FPS average is the clear recommendation, as it maximizes visual quality while still delivering frame rates well above any display refresh rate likely to be paired with this hardware. The High preset's 315 FPS provides additional headroom for esports-style play, but the visual benefits of Ultra are substantial enough to warrant the performance cost. The Medium preset at 381 FPS and Low at 530 FPS are only necessary for competitive scenarios where every frame matters, as the visual degradation is significant.

The data indicates that the Medium preset offers the most consistent frame pacing across all resolutions, with the smallest min-to-max variance relative to average FPS. At 4K Medium, the spread between min and max is 52 FPS against a 174 FPS average, representing a 29.9% variance. At 1440p Medium, the spread is 83 FPS against 275 FPS average (30.2%), while at 1080p Medium, it's 114 FPS against 381 FPS (29.9%). This consistency suggests that Medium settings avoid the CPU-bound spikes that can occur at lower settings while not overloading the GPU to the point of frame drops at higher settings.
