Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a striking performance curve in Undisputed, but the shape of that curve reveals much about where the bottleneck lies. Across the twelve measured configurations, the combo transitions from a display-dominating powerhouse at 1080p to a playable-but-strained contender at 4K. The data indicates a system that scales predictably with resolution, yet the magnitude of those drops tells the real story about the balance between the Zen 4 CPU and the Ada Lovelace GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The most telling metric in this dataset is the collapse of frame rates as resolution increases, particularly at the highest settings. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 103.3 FPS, which already suggests a GPU-bound scenario given the CPU's capability. Moving to 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 73.6 FPS—a 28.7% reduction that is steep but expected. However, the leap to 4K Ultra is brutal: 47.8 FPS, which is a 53.7% drop from the 1080p Ultra figure. This trajectory indicates that the RTX 4060's 8 GB frame buffer and 128-bit memory interface are the limiting factors at 4K, not the Ryzen 5 7600X.

The scaling pattern at lower settings reinforces this interpretation. At 1080p Low, the system hits 274.6 FPS, a figure so high that the CPU's single-thread performance (3,406 in Cinebench R23 single-core) becomes the ceiling. Dropping to 1440p Low yields 198.4 FPS—a 27.8% decline—while 4K Low still manages 128.2 FPS. The fact that 4K Low outperforms 1080p Ultra (128.2 vs. 103.3) shows that the GPU's raw compute is sufficient for high frame rates when the shading load is light, but the memory subsystem and pixel throughput choke when settings rise.

The delta between Medium and High settings at each resolution is also revealing. At 1080p, moving from Medium (197.8 FPS) to High (163.8 FPS) costs 17.2% performance. At 1440p, the same step costs 14.9% (141.2 to 120.2). At 4K, the cost is 16.9% (89.0 to 73.9). This consistency—roughly a 15-17% penalty for that settings increment across all resolutions—indicates the game's High preset adds a uniform shading burden rather than a memory capacity cliff. The real cliff appears between High and Ultra: at 4K, that step drops from 73.9 to 47.8 FPS, a 35.3% loss. At 1080p, the same step costs 36.9% (163.8 to 103.3). Ultra is disproportionately expensive, suggesting it enables effects that tax the GPU's 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate heavily.

GPU Role

The RTX 4060's specifications directly explain the observed scaling behavior. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus (272.0 GB/s bandwidth), the card is adequate for 1080p and 1440p, but 4K Ultra likely exceeds the frame buffer's comfortable capacity. The measured 47.8 FPS at 4K Ultra is not a CPU limitation—the Ryzen 5 7600X's 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs and its 24,128 multi-core Cinebench R23 score indicate plenty of headroom. Instead, the GPU's 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores (which handle ray tracing and DLSS) are irrelevant here since the data shows no DLSS or ray tracing metrics; the bottleneck is pure rasterization and memory bandwidth.

The clock behavior is also noteworthy. The GPU's boost clock of 2460 MHz is high for a 115 W TDP part, and the card's 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is competitive for its class. The benchmark results suggest the card sustains these clocks well at 1080p and 1440p, where the 236.2 GTexel/s texture rate keeps up with the geometry. At 4K, however, the 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate becomes the limiting factor, especially with Ultra settings that likely increase overdraw and shading complexity. The card's 48 ROPs are modest for 4K resolution, and the data shows this clearly: the 4K Ultra result is less than half of the 1080p Ultra result, which is a far larger drop than the pixel count difference (4K has 4x the pixels of 1080p) would suggest if the GPU were purely compute-bound.

The memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s is the other key constraint. At 4K Ultra, the game likely exceeds the 8 GB capacity, forcing texture paging or compression that degrades the average frame time. This explains why the 4K Medium result (89.0 FPS) is only 16.9% lower than the 1440p Medium result (141.2 FPS), but the 4K Ultra result (47.8 FPS) is 35.3% lower than 1440p Ultra (73.6 FPS). The extra settings in Ultra push the memory footprint over a cliff, and the 128-bit bus cannot compensate.

Settings Recommendations

Based strictly on the measured rows, the optimal configuration for this combo depends on the target display. For 1080p displays, Medium settings at 197.8 FPS provide a massive margin over the 60 Hz standard, while High at 163.8 FPS still offers exceptional smoothness. Ultra at 103.3 FPS is playable but sacrifices 47.6% of the Medium frame rate for marginal visual gains—the data does not justify that trade.

For 1440p, High settings at 120.2 FPS are the sweet spot. This offers a 70.4% improvement over Ultra's 73.6 FPS while staying above the 120 Hz threshold common in modern monitors. Medium at 141.2 FPS is also viable if the user prefers extra headroom, but the jump from Medium to High costs only 14.9%, making High the better experience per the measured rows. Low at 198.4 FPS is unnecessary unless chasing maximum refresh rates.

For 4K, the situation is more nuanced. High settings at 73.9 FPS are the only preset that stays above 60 FPS, but barely. Medium at 89.0 FPS offers a 20.4% improvement and is the recommended choice for 4K, as it maintains a healthy margin over the 60 FPS baseline. Ultra at 47.8 FPS is not advisable for competitive play, and Low at 128.2 FPS—while technically smooth—defeats the purpose of 4K resolution. The data strongly suggests that 4K Ultra is beyond this GPU's comfortable operating range, and users should cap at Medium for a consistent experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full dataset reveals a consistent hierarchy across all resolutions. At 1080p, the settings ladder is: Low (274.6 FPS), Medium (197.8 FPS), High (163.8 FPS), and Ultra (103.3 FPS). The gap from Low to Medium is 38.8%, while the gap from High to Ultra is 36.9%. This non-linear scaling indicates that Low disables significant effects that Medium enables, while Ultra adds a disproportionate load.

At 1440p, the ladder is: Low (198.4 FPS), Medium (141.2 FPS), High (120.2 FPS), and Ultra (73.6 FPS). The Low-to-Medium gap widens to 40.5%, suggesting the GPU is already feeling the resolution pressure. The High-to-Ultra gap remains severe at 38.8%, confirming that Ultra's cost is consistent regardless of resolution.

At 4K, the ladder is: Low (128.2 FPS), Medium (89.0 FPS), High (73.9 FPS), and Ultra (47.8 FPS). The Low-to-Medium gap narrows to 44.0%—the largest relative drop in the entire dataset—which indicates that at 4K, even Medium's effects tax the memory bandwidth heavily. The High-to-Ultra gap of 35.3% is slightly smaller than at 1080p, but the absolute loss of 26.1 FPS (from 73.9 to 47.8) is the largest single-step penalty measured.

Cross-resolution comparisons show that 1440p Low (198.4 FPS) nearly matches 1080p High (163.8 FPS) in performance headroom, while 4K Low (128.2 FPS) sits between 1080p High and Medium. This indicates that the CPU can drive high frame rates even at 4K when the GPU is not overloaded, confirming the Ryzen 5 7600X's adequacy.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination ranks 888th out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 56.2nd percentile. This is a middling ranking, which might surprise given the high frame rates measured. The explanation lies in the competitive field: many combos with more powerful GPUs (e.g., RTX 4070 or above) will achieve higher 4K Ultra scores, and the ranking is dominated by those high-end pairings.

The CPU's percentile (83rd among all CPUs) is significantly higher than the combo's overall rank, which underscores that the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing. The GPU's percentile (66th among all GPUs) is closer to the combo's rank, but even that gap suggests the CPU's strength is partially wasted at 4K. The nearest rival CPUs—AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U (0% delta), AMD Ryzen 7 7735U (-0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 5655GE (-0.2%), and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (0.2%)—all have similar average benchmark scores, but in this game, the 7600X's 6 cores and 12 threads at 5.30 GHz boost clock provide ample physics and AI processing headroom.

The GPU's nearest rivals—AMD Radeon RX 6600M (-0.6%), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (-0.7%), Intel Arc B580 (0.7%), and AMD Radeon 760M (0.8%)—have nearly identical average scores, yet the RTX 4060's modern architecture (Ada Lovelace, 5 nm, 18,900 million transistors) offers features like DirectX 12 Ultimate that give it an edge in Undisputed's specific workload. The ranking of 888/1580 indicates that while this combo is not elite, it sits comfortably in the upper-middle tier, capable of excellent 1080p and 1440p performance but not designed for 4K Ultra dominance. For users targeting 1080p or 1440p, this pairing delivers frame rates that rival much more expensive setups; for 4K, the data suggests a GPU upgrade is the only path forward.
