Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces an exceptionally high-performing configuration in Undisputed, demonstrating that the game scales aggressively with both CPU and GPU resources. The data shows this pairing is capable of delivering high refresh rates even at 4K with maximum settings, placing it in the top percentile of all tested combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 545 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings drops the average to 418 FPS, a reduction of 127 FPS. At 4K with Low settings, the average falls further to 264 FPS. This progression indicates that at lower settings, the workload shifts heavily toward the GPU, and the resolution scaling is nearly linear in terms of pixel count.

For Medium settings, the pattern holds. The average FPS at 1080p is 416, which decreases to 301 at 1440p, and then to 190 at 4K. The gap between 1080p and 1440p is 115 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K is 111 FPS. This consistency suggests a well-balanced system where neither component becomes a bottleneck at these settings, but the GPU is clearly doing the heavy lifting as resolution climbs.

High settings show a more pronounced drop when moving to 4K. At 1080p, the average is 344 FPS, and at 1440p it remains high at 249 FPS. However, at 4K the average drops to 157 FPS. The 92 FPS difference between 1440p and 4K is notable, indicating that the increased pixel count at 4K places a significant burden on the RTX 5090 D's rendering pipeline.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest scaling curve. The combo produces 222 FPS at 1080p, 160 FPS at 1440p, and 101 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K is 59 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the drop from 1080p to 1440p at 62 FPS. This indicates that at Ultra settings, the game is heavily GPU-bound, and the RTX 5090 D's performance scales predictably with resolution. The 4K Ultra result of 101 FPS is still highly playable, but it highlights the extreme demands of the highest preset at the highest resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process. Its base clock is 4.00 GHz with a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, and it features a substantial 96 MB shared L3 cache. This cache configuration is particularly relevant for Undisputed, as the game's physics and AI calculations can benefit from fast access to large datasets.

The processor's benchmark scores indicate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. It scores 25,047 in Passmark multithread and 3,494 in Passmark single-thread. Its floating-point math score is 43,594, and integer math is 70,774. These figures suggest the CPU has ample headroom to feed the RTX 5090 D, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is not the limiting factor.

At 1080p with Low settings, the combo reaches 545 FPS. This extreme frame rate is only possible if the CPU can issue draw calls and process game logic fast enough. The data implies the 7500X3D's 12 threads are sufficient for Undisputed's demands, as the frame rate scales linearly with resolution rather than being capped by CPU limitations. The processor's Passmark physics score of 2,779 further supports its capability in handling the game's simulation tasks.

The CPU's nearest rivals in benchmark scores include the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H with an average score of 44,466 (0.2% delta), the Intel Core i9-13950HX at 44,342 (0.5% delta), and the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 at 44,309 (0.6% delta). The 7500X3D's average benchmark score is 44,573, placing it slightly ahead of these competitors. The Intel Core i5-14600 trails with a score of 44,889, which is a -0.7% delta relative to the 7500X3D. These tight margins indicate that the 7500X3D is competitively positioned against high-end laptop and desktop processors.

Despite having only 6 cores, the 7500X3D's performance in this game is not hamstrung by core count. The measured FPS at 1440p High (249 FPS) and 1080p Ultra (222 FPS) demonstrates that the CPU can sustain high frame rates without becoming a bottleneck. The processor's 65 W TDP is also efficient, allowing for consistent performance without thermal throttling concerns in a well-ventilated case.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing. It features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's boost clock is 2407 MHz, and it is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. The sheer memory capacity and bandwidth are overkill for Undisputed, but they ensure that the GPU never runs out of memory or bandwidth at any resolution or setting.

The RTX 5090 D's shading units (21,760), texture mapping units (680), and render output units (176) are massive, and the data reflects this. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 416 FPS, and at 1440p Medium it hits 301 FPS. These results show the GPU's ability to process geometry and textures at high throughput. The texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s are theoretical maxima that align with the measured performance.

The GPU's Passmark G3D score is 44,065, and its average benchmark score is 77,712. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904, 1.1% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, -1.6% delta), and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79,396, -2.1% delta). The RTX 5090 D's percentile rank among all GPUs is 92, indicating it is faster than the vast majority of graphics cards tested.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes more critical as resolution increases. At 4K Ultra, the combo produces 101 FPS, which is a substantial drop from the 1080p Ultra result of 222 FPS. This 121 FPS difference is primarily due to the GPU's rendering load at 4K. The 32 GB of VRAM is never a limiting factor, as the game's textures are unlikely to exceed even a fraction of this capacity. The 1.79 TB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming is smooth, preventing stutters that might occur with lesser cards.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is ranked 38th out of 2,813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 1.35% of all configurations, which is an exceptional result. The high ranking is driven by the GPU's raw performance and the CPU's ability to support it without creating a bottleneck.

The rank of 38 indicates that there are only 37 other combos that produce higher average frame rates in this game. Given the RTX 5090 D's position as one of the most powerful consumer GPUs, the combos ahead of it likely feature equally powerful CPUs or higher-clocked variants. However, the 7500X3D's strong single-thread and cache performance ensures that it does not drag down the overall result.

The data shows that this combo is more than capable of handling Undisputed at any settings without compromise. The 4K High result of 157 FPS is competitive with lower-end combos at 1080p, demonstrating the headroom available. The combo rank of 38 confirms the synergy between the 6-core CPU and the flagship GPU, as neither component significantly limits the other in this specific title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user's display refresh rate and resolution preference. For 4K displays, the Ultra preset yields an average of 101 FPS, which is suitable for standard 60 Hz monitors but may not fully utilize a 120 Hz or higher refresh rate panel. The High preset at 4K provides 157 FPS, which is a better match for high-refresh-rate 4K displays and offers a 56 FPS improvement over Ultra with a likely minor visual fidelity reduction.

For 1440p users, the Ultra preset delivers 160 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. The High preset at 1440p reaches 249 FPS, which is ideal for 240 Hz panels. The data indicates that the Medium preset at 1440p (301 FPS) is unnecessary for most users, as the visual differences between Medium and High are typically more noticeable than the frame rate gains.

At 1080p, the Ultra preset produces 222 FPS, which is sufficient for even the fastest esports monitors. The High preset at 344 FPS and Medium at 416 FPS offer diminishing returns in terms of smoothness, as the human eye is unlikely to perceive a significant difference beyond 240 Hz. The Low preset at 545 FPS is only relevant for competitive play where maximum frame rate is prioritized over visuals.

The best experience per the measured rows is the High preset at 1440p, which balances visual quality and performance with a 249 FPS average. For 4K, the High preset is recommended over Ultra, as the 157 FPS average is more fluid and the visual difference is often subtle in a sports title like Undisputed.

The Medium preset rows include minimum and maximum FPS values, which provide insight into frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 354 FPS is still extremely high, indicating no significant stutters. At 1440p Medium, the minimum drops to 256 FPS, which is still smooth. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 162 FPS is the lowest recorded value, but it remains well above the threshold for playability.

The scaling from Low to Ultra at any resolution shows a consistent pattern: Ultra approximately halves the frame rate compared to Low. At 1080p, the difference is 323 FPS. At 1440p, it is 258 FPS. At 4K, it is 163 FPS. This proportional scaling confirms that the game's settings have a uniform impact on GPU load across resolutions, and the RTX 5090 D's architecture handles these shifts efficiently.

The maximum FPS values at Medium settings show that the combo can burst well above the average in less demanding scenes. The 478 FPS maximum at 1080p and 346 FPS at 1440p indicate that the system is never under sustained stress, allowing for high peak performance. The 4K Medium maximum of 219 FPS suggests that even at the highest resolution, the GPU has reserve capacity. Overall, the measured data presents a configuration that is overqualified for Undisputed, delivering high frame rates across all settings and resolutions.
