Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, placing second out of 1,580 tested combinations. The benchmark data reveals a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, yet shows signs of CPU limitation at 1080p, creating a nuanced scaling profile that warrants detailed analysis.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a dramatic and predictable decline as resolution increases, but the rate of that decline is highly dependent on the graphics preset. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 sees average FPS drop from 550 to 397.6, a reduction of 152.4 FPS. Moving further to 3840x2160 at Low brings the average down to 252.1, meaning the 4K figure is less than half of the 1080p result. This steep scaling curve at Low settings indicates that the rendering pipeline is being stretched by raw pixel count, with the RTX 5090’s immense compute resources still able to push over 250 FPS even at 4K.

At High settings, the scaling pattern shifts. The 1080p average of 324.7 FPS drops to 240.2 at 1440p, a 26% reduction, and then falls to 152.9 at 4K, which is roughly 53% of the 1080p figure. The Ultra preset shows the most severe absolute scaling, with 211.5 FPS at 1080p falling to 149.5 at 1440p and finally 98.2 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is under half the 1080p Ultra score, suggesting that the combination of high resolution and maximum settings creates a workload that finally begins to tax the GPU’s 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth.

The data reveals that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU’s role becomes more prominent; the Ryzen 5 7600’s 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, appear to cap performance in certain presets. For instance, the jump from Low to Medium at 1080p only yields an increase from 550 to 396 FPS, which is counterintuitive since higher settings typically reduce FPS. This anomaly suggests that at Low settings, the CPU is the bottleneck, preventing the GPU from fully flexing its capabilities. At 4K, however, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint, as evidenced by the tight correlation between preset complexity and FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the star of this configuration, and its specifications explain its dominance in Undisputed. With 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, the card possesses a memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s, which proves critical for high-resolution textures and settings. The GPU’s 21,760 shading units, 680 TMUs, and 176 ROPs deliver a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s. These figures translate directly to the raw throughput needed for the game’s rendering.

The GPU’s boost clock of 2407 MHz, paired with its base clock of 2017 MHz, allows it to sustain high frame rates even at Ultra settings. At 1080p Ultra, the system achieves 211.5 FPS, and at 1440p Ultra it still manages 149.5 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 98.2 FPS is particularly telling; it shows that even with this flagship GPU, the most demanding settings at 4K will not reach triple-digit averages. The RTX 5090’s FP32 performance of 104.8 TFLOPS provides ample compute for the game’s physics and AI, but the data suggests that memory bandwidth and pixel throughput are the eventual limiting factors at 4K Ultra.

Comparing the RTX 5090 to its nearest rivals, the benchmark scores show it is statistically tied with the RTX 5090 D, which has an average score of 84,241 and a deltaPct of 0.1. The RTX 5050 Mobile also shows a negligible 0.2% delta, while the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 trails by 1.3%. The NVIDIA CMP 40HX actually leads by 1.6% in average score, but this is within typical variance. For Undisputed specifically, the GPU’s 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs underscores its position as a top-tier part, and the measured FPS confirms that it rarely struggles outside of 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 plays a supporting role that becomes more visible as resolution drops. This 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 4 architecture runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts to 5.10 GHz. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provide adequate feeding for the RTX 5090. The CPU’s benchmark results, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,992 and a single-core score of 3,246, place it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs.

The CPU’s influence is most apparent when examining the 1080p Low and Medium results. The fact that Low (550 FPS) outperforms Medium (396 FPS) by a wide margin indicates that at Low settings, the GPU is not the bottleneck. Instead, the Ryzen 5 7600’s 3.80 GHz base clock and 5.10 GHz boost clock are being pushed to their limits. The CPU’s 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and 2-thread score of 1,938 suggest that while it is capable, it cannot fully unlock the RTX 5090’s potential at very low settings where the GPU has minimal work.

At higher resolutions, the CPU’s load decreases relative to the GPU, and the system scales more predictably. The 4K results show a clear gradient from Low (252.1 FPS) to Medium (183.5 FPS) to High (152.9 FPS) to Ultra (98.2 FPS), indicating that the GPU is now the primary determinant. This behavior is consistent with the Ryzen 5 7600’s performance profile; its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, shows a deltaPct of only 0.2% in average score, meaning the 7600 is effectively matched with that older but cache-rich chip. The Intel Core i9-12900HK also sits within 0.2%, while the AMD EPYC 8024P and Intel Core i9-11900K trail by 0.2% and 0.3% respectively.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 achieves a rank of 2 out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed. This ranking places it in the top 0.13% of all configurations. The fact that it is not rank 1, despite including the RTX 5090, suggests that a more powerful CPU might extract slightly higher frame rates in certain scenarios. However, the measured data indicates that the gap between this combo and the top spot is likely small, given that the CPU’s nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of its average benchmark score.

The rank of 2 is particularly impressive when considering the CPU’s modest core count. Many competing combos in the top tier likely feature CPUs with higher thread counts or more aggressive boost clocks. Yet, the Ryzen 5 7600’s 5.10 GHz boost clock and efficient Zen 4 architecture allow it to keep pace in a game like Undisputed, which appears to favor single-threaded performance. The combo’s 1080p High result of 324.7 FPS is a strong indicator that the CPU is not severely hampering the GPU, even at lower resolutions. The 4K Ultra score of 98.2 FPS is likely close to what any CPU would achieve with this GPU, as the workload becomes purely GPU-bound.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution. For 4K displays, Ultra settings yield 98.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. Dropping to High settings at 4K provides a substantial boost to 152.9 FPS, a 55.7% improvement over Ultra, with only a modest visual compromise. This is the recommended configuration for 4K, as it balances the need for smooth motion and visual fidelity. Medium settings at 4K offer 183.5 FPS, but the visual downgrade from High is unlikely to be worth the extra 30.6 FPS.

At 1440p, Ultra settings achieve 149.5 FPS, which is excellent for most displays. However, for gamers with 240 Hz or higher refresh rate panels, High settings at 240.2 FPS provide a better experience. The data shows that the jump from Ultra to High at 1440p is 90.7 FPS, which is substantial. Medium at 287.4 FPS is even faster, but High represents the sweet spot for visual quality and performance. Low settings at 397.6 FPS are unnecessary for any practical scenario.

For 1080p, the situation is more complex. Ultra delivers 211.5 FPS, which is sufficient for even the fastest monitors. High at 324.7 FPS is the best balance, offering a 113.2 FPS improvement over Ultra while retaining most visual features. Medium at 396 FPS and Low at 550 FPS are both above what any current display can show, making them pointless unless the user prioritizes absolute minimum frame times. The 1080p Low result of 550 FPS also highlights the CPU’s role as a limiting factor; pushing beyond this would require a faster processor. For most users, the recommendation is to run High settings at any resolution, as it consistently provides a large FPS uplift over Ultra with minimal visual penalty.
