Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a highly playable experience in Undisputed, with benchmark results showing a clear progression of performance metrics across resolutions and settings. The measured data indicates that this pairing is well-balanced for the game, though the scaling patterns reveal specific bottlenecks that emerge under different graphical loads. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS figures to understand how the components interact.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a substantial performance drop as resolution increases, which is the expected pattern for a system where the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher pixel counts. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings reduces the average frame rate from 137.1 FPS to 100.5 FPS, a decrease of roughly 27 percent. The jump to 3840x2160 at High settings brings the average down further to 62.2 FPS, which is approximately 38 percent lower than the 1440p result.

This scaling pattern is more pronounced at lower settings. At Low settings, the 1080p average of 228.4 FPS drops to 167.8 FPS at 1440p (a 26.5 percent reduction), and then falls to 106.3 FPS at 4K (a 36.6 percent drop from 1440p). The fact that the percentage drops from 1440p to 4K are larger than those from 1080p to 1440p indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER's memory bandwidth and processing throughput are increasingly strained as pixel count grows.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU has more headroom to feed the GPU, allowing frame rates to reach very high levels. However, at 4K Ultra, the average FPS plummets to 42.7, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, appears to be the constraining component at 4K, as the resolution scaling shows a consistent and significant penalty across all settings presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 provides a strong foundation for this pairing, featuring 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture. Its boost clock of 5.10 GHz and 32 MB of shared L3 cache contribute to solid single-thread performance, which is crucial for a sports title like Undisputed. The CPU's benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22992 and a single-core score of 3246, indicate it is well-suited for handling game logic and physics calculations without becoming a bottleneck at standard resolutions.

At 1080p, the measured FPS at Low settings reaches 228.4, which is a very high frame rate that suggests the CPU is capable of keeping up with the GPU's output. The 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and the 2-thread score of 1938 further support the idea that the processor has ample single-core capability for this game. The Ryzen 5 7600 sits in the 83rd percentile against all CPUs, and its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, is only 0.2 percent different in average benchmark score, showing that this chip is competitive with older high-end models.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent when looking at the scaling from 1080p to 1440p. The FPS drop at High settings is about 27 percent, which is less severe than the GPU-bound drop seen from 1440p to 4K. This indicates that at 1080p and 1440p, the RTX 2060 SUPER is still the primary limiter, but the Ryzen 5 7600 is providing enough throughput to avoid major frame pacing issues. The 12 threads help ensure that background tasks and game threads are handled efficiently, though the game itself likely does not utilize all cores heavily.

The combo rank reflects this, as the system can handle the game at high settings in 1080p and 1440p, but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K Ultra. The ranking suggests that while the CPU has headroom for future upgrades, the GPU is the current limiting factor for achieving top-tier performance in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all tested configurations. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 228.4 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suitable for competitive play or high refresh rate monitors. The Medium preset produces 162.9 FPS, and the High preset achieves 137.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 89.6 FPS, which remains smooth but shows a significant cost for the highest visual fidelity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down as expected. The Low preset still manages a very high 167.8 FPS, while Medium drops to 119.1 FPS and High to 100.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces 62.8 FPS, which is playable but borders on the lower edge of what is considered smooth. At 3840x2160, the Low preset delivers 106.3 FPS, which is impressive for 4K, but the Medium preset drops to 78.1 FPS and High to 62.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the lowest measured result at 42.7 FPS, which would likely result in noticeable stuttering and is not recommended for a game that requires precise timing.

The data shows a consistent pattern where each step up in settings costs roughly 25-35 percent of the frame rate, regardless of resolution. This indicates that the game's settings have a uniform impact on GPU load, and the RTX 2060 SUPER's capabilities are the primary determinant of the final frame rate.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal balance of visual quality and performance is achieved at the High preset for both 1920x1080 and 2560x1440 resolutions. At 1080p High, the 137.1 FPS average provides a smooth experience that takes advantage of high refresh rate displays without sacrificing much visual fidelity. At 1440p High, the 100.5 FPS average is still excellent and offers a significant improvement in image clarity over 1080p.

For users with 4K displays, the Medium preset is the best choice, as it delivers an average of 78.1 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The High preset at 4K is marginal at 62.2 FPS, and while it is playable, it leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution where frame rate is a priority, as it drops to 89.6 FPS at 1080p and 42.7 FPS at 4K, making it unsuitable for a fast-paced sports game.

The Low preset offers the highest frame rates but sacrifices too much visual quality for most users, especially given that the Medium preset at 4K provides a much better experience for only a moderate FPS cost. The data suggests that the High preset at 1080p or 1440p, and the Medium preset at 4K, provide the best overall experience for this hardware combination in Undisputed.
