Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is a high-end combination that delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, placing it in the top tier of tested systems. This pairing ranks 33rd out of 1580 tested combos, placing it in the 98th percentile of all hardware configurations. This position is not merely a reflection of the GPU's raw power, but also of a well-balanced CPU pairing that ensures the graphics card is not artificially held back, even when frame rates reach extreme heights.

How This Combo Ranks

The data shows a combination that is positioned for elite-level performance. Ranking 33rd out of 1580 combos puts this system in the top 2% of all tested configurations, indicating that it is a top-tier choice for competitive play. The ranking is a composite result of the CPU and GPU working in concert. A weaker processor would likely cause a bottleneck at lower resolutions, dragging the combo's average score down. However, the Ryzen 5 7600 holds its own, allowing the RTX 4090 to operate near its full potential. This suggests the system is not just a one-trick pony for 4K, but a versatile performer capable of dominating at any setting. The high rank is a strong indicator of consistent, high-throughput performance that avoids the frame rate dips that can plague lesser pairings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. This CPU is the orchestrator of the gameplay, managing physics, AI, and game logic. In Undisputed, a sports title, these tasks are generally not as demanding as in a massive open-world game, but they still require a responsive processor to maintain a smooth and consistent frame rate. The CPU's performance is reflected in its benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22992 and a single-core score of 3246. Its Passmark single-thread score of 3910 is particularly relevant, as a strong single-core performance is often crucial for maintaining high frame rates in games that are not fully optimized for multi-threading.

The Ryzen 5 7600's performance is closely matched with its nearest rivals. It benchmarks within 0.2% of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and is a mere 0.3% faster than the Intel Core i9-11900K. This indicates that the 7600 is not a bottleneck in this system; its processing power is sufficient to feed the RTX 4090 with data. The data suggests that at lower resolutions where the CPU load is higher, this processor's strong single-thread performance is a key factor in achieving the remarkably high frame rates seen in the benchmarks. With 32 MB of shared L3 cache and support for DDR5 memory, the CPU ensures that game data is readily available, minimizing stutter and ensuring a fluid experience.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the undisputed powerhouse of this configuration. It is a behemoth of a graphics card, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and a 5 nm process. With 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, it offers a massive 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth. This immense bandwidth is critical for feeding the GPU's 16384 shading units at high resolutions and detail settings. The card's raw compute power is staggering, with an FP32 performance of 82.58 TFLOPS. It is a triple-slot card with a TDP of 450 W, indicating its performance comes at a significant power cost. Its core clocks are high, with a base of 2235 MHz and a boost of 2520 MHz.

In the context of this benchmark, the RTX 4090's role is to render the game's visuals. Its performance is so dominant that it achieves very high frame rates even at 4K resolution. The GPU's benchmark scores, such as a Passmark G3D score of 38194, place it in the 91st percentile of all GPUs. Interestingly, its average benchmark score is nearly identical to rivals like the NVIDIA Tesla T4 (within 0.4%) and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 (within 0.9%), but these are professional or workstation cards. In gaming, the RTX 4090 is in a league of its own. The data shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance, with the FPS scaling directly with graphical fidelity. Its strength is most apparent in the 4K Ultra settings, where it still manages to produce a playable frame rate, a feat few other cards can match.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a granular look at the system's performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. The results show a clear pattern: the higher the resolution and the higher the graphical settings, the lower the average FPS, which is expected.

• 1080p: At 1920x1080, the system is incredibly fast. With Low settings, it achieves an average of 530.5 FPS. This is an extraordinarily high frame rate, showing that the CPU and GPU are both working at peak efficiency. Moving to Medium settings drops the average to 381.1 FPS, and High settings further reduce it to 317.5 FPS. Even at Ultra settings, the system maintains a very high average of 203.9 FPS.
• 1440p: At 2560x1440, the system remains powerful. The Low setting average is 385.7 FPS, which is still an excellent result. Medium settings yield 277.3 FPS, and High settings produce 228.3 FPS. At Ultra, the average is 148.8 FPS, which is still more than enough for high-refresh-rate monitors.
• 4K: At 3840x2160, the GPU is finally pushed harder. The Low setting average is 245.9 FPS. Medium settings produce 176.3 FPS, and High settings yield 146.7 FPS. The most demanding test, Ultra settings at 4K, results in an average of 91.2 FPS.

These numbers show that the system is capable of exceeding the refresh rates of most high-end monitors in nearly all scenarios. The 91.2 FPS at 4K Ultra is particularly impressive, as it demonstrates that this combination can handle the most demanding visual settings without dropping below a standard 60 FPS threshold.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling of frame rates across resolutions reveals the balance of the components. Moving from 1080p to 4K at High settings, the average FPS drops from 317.5 to 146.7. This is a 53.8% decrease. This drop is significant but not as steep as one might expect from a less powerful GPU. A more dramatic drop would indicate a GPU-bound system at all resolutions. Here, the relatively smaller drop at lower resolutions indicates a more balanced load.

At Low settings, the drop is even more pronounced. The average FPS falls from 530.5 at 1080p to 245.9 at 4K, a 53.7% decrease. This is a strong indicator that at 1080p Low, the system is not purely GPU-bound. The CPU is also a limiting factor, as it cannot process the game logic fast enough to allow the GPU to render even more frames. If the GPU were the only bottleneck, the 1080p Low frame rate would be astronomically high.

Conversely, the scaling at Ultra settings is different. The FPS drops from 203.9 at 1080p to 91.2 at 4K, a 55.3% decrease. This is a larger percentage drop than at High settings, suggesting that the GPU is becoming the more dominant limiting factor as the pixel count and graphical load increase. The data shows a classic resolution scaling curve: at 1080p, the system is partially CPU-bound, but as resolution increases, the burden shifts to the GPU. The RTX 4090's massive bandwidth and compute power ensure that even at 4K, the frame rate remains high, but the scaling pattern shows that the GPU is the component that ultimately determines performance at higher resolutions. This makes the combination well-suited for users who want both high refresh rates at 1080p/1440p and high-fidelity 4K gaming.
