Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, placing the combo in the 93rd percentile of all tested configurations. The data consistently shows this pairing is capable of high refresh-rate gameplay even at demanding resolutions, though the optimal settings depend heavily on the target display. This analysis examines the measured frames per second (FPS) data to provide precise settings recommendations, component role breakdowns, and performance scaling insights.

Settings Recommendations

For a 4K display, the benchmark data indicates that the High preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. The measured average of 130 FPS at 3840x2160 with High settings is sufficiently high for smooth competitive play, while the Ultra preset drops to 84 FPS, which may introduce noticeable judder on high-refresh-rate panels. The Medium preset at 4K provides 158 FPS, but the visual quality reduction from High to Medium is typically not worth the 28 FPS gain for a sports title where clarity of character models and the ring environment matters. The Low preset at 4K reaches 219 FPS, but this sacrifices too much graphical detail for a marginal competitive advantage.

At 2560x1440, the High preset again emerges as the recommended choice. The measured 206 FPS at this resolution with High settings exceeds the refresh rate of most 144Hz and 240Hz monitors, ensuring the GPU is not the bottleneck. The Ultra preset at 1440p yields 133 FPS, which is still playable but represents a significant 35% performance hit compared to High. The Medium preset at 1440p delivers 249 FPS, but the difference between Medium and High in terms of shadow quality and texture filtering is substantial in a game where punch impact and fighter detail are central to the experience. Low settings at 1440p produce 346 FPS, which is purely for competitive play with minimal visual feedback.

For 1920x1080, the analysis shifts to prioritizing maximum frame rates. The High preset achieves 285 FPS, which is already far beyond what most monitors can display. The Ultra preset at 1080p provides 184 FPS, still exceeding 144Hz displays, and offers the best visual quality. However, given that the game is a sports simulation where reaction time matters, the Medium preset at 345 FPS or even the Low preset at 479 FPS may be preferred by esports-focused players. The measured data shows that the gap between Medium and Low at 1080p is 134 FPS, indicating the CPU and GPU have significant headroom. The recommended preset for 1080p is High, as it provides a 285 FPS average that comfortably exceeds all mainstream display refresh rates while maintaining superior image quality over Medium.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution to run Undisputed with this hardware setup?*

A: The data shows the RTX 4080 with the Ryzen 5 7600X can handle 4K at High settings with 130 FPS average. For the most balanced experience, 1440p at High settings provides 206 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors without sacrificing visual quality.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from High to Ultra settings?

A: At 4K, the average FPS drops from 130 at High to 84 at Ultra, a 35% reduction. At 1440p, the drop is from 206 to 133 FPS, a 35% reduction. At 1080p, the drop is from 285 to 184 FPS, a 35% reduction. The Ultra preset consistently incurs a 35% performance penalty across all resolutions compared to High.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 1080p with Low settings?

A: At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 479 FPS. This extreme frame rate suggests that neither component is heavily constrained, but the 479 FPS figure is likely closer to the CPU's maximum frame delivery capability given the 6-core, 12-thread configuration. The GPU has more headroom, as evidenced by the significant scaling from Low to Medium.

Q: What are the minimum FPS figures for the Medium preset?

A: The measured data includes minimum FPS values only for the Medium preset. At 4K, the minimum is 134 FPS with a maximum of 181 FPS. At 1440p, the minimum is 212 FPS with a maximum of 286 FPS. At 1080p, the minimum is 293 FPS with a maximum of 396 FPS. These figures indicate solid frame pacing with no severe dips.

Q: How does this combo's performance rank compared to other tested systems?

A: This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 246th out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 6.6% of all configurations tested for this game.

Q: Does the game benefit more from the CPU's single-thread performance or multi-thread performance?

A: The CPU's single-thread score in Cinebench R23 is 1965, while the multi-thread score is 15236. The high FPS numbers at 1080p Low settings (479 FPS) suggest the game is not heavily multi-threaded, as the 12-thread processor is not fully utilized. The strong single-thread performance of 1060 in 3DMark single-thread is likely more relevant for maintaining high frame rates in this sports title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 serves as the primary driver of visual performance in Undisputed. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for the texture and geometry data required at 4K resolution. The memory clock runs at 1400 MHz, translating to 22.4 Gbps effective, and the GPU's boost clock of 2505 MHz (base 2205 MHz) ensures high throughput for the game's rendering workloads.

The GPU's architecture, Ada Lovelace, features 9728 shading units, 304 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output units. The 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores are not explicitly stressed by Undisputed's benchmark data, but they contribute to the GPU's overall compute capabilities. The measured FPS figures show the GPU scales predictably with resolution: at High settings, the average FPS drops from 285 at 1080p to 206 at 1440p and 130 at 4K. This scaling pattern indicates the GPU is the primary performance limiter at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops proportionally with the increase in pixel count.

The GPU's 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 761.5 GTexel/s texture rate provide substantial raw power. At 4K with Ultra settings, the GPU delivers 84 FPS, showing that the most demanding preset still achieves playable frame rates. The 320 W TDP and triple-slot design indicate this is a high-power part, and the data suggests it is fully utilized in Undisputed at 4K, where the 130 FPS at High settings represents a significant workload. The GPU's percentile ranking of 86 among all GPUs places it in the upper tier, and its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 0.1% higher on average, indicating performance parity.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured data shows a clear hierarchy across presets. Low settings produce an average of 479 FPS, the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 345 FPS with a minimum of 293 FPS and a maximum of 396 FPS. High settings deliver 285 FPS, and Ultra settings provide 184 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 134 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 60 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 101 FPS. These numbers indicate that the Low preset is likely CPU-limited, as the 479 FPS figure approaches the theoretical maximum for a 6-core processor in this game.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues but with lower absolute values. Low settings achieve 346 FPS, Medium settings reach 249 FPS (minimum 212, maximum 286), High settings provide 206 FPS, and Ultra settings deliver 133 FPS. The delta between Low and Medium is 97 FPS, between Medium and High is 43 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 73 FPS. The 1440p results show a more balanced load between CPU and GPU, as the frame rates are still high but the scaling is less linear than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck. Low settings produce 219 FPS, Medium settings achieve 158 FPS (minimum 134, maximum 181), High settings deliver 130 FPS, and Ultra settings provide 84 FPS. The delta between Low and Medium is 61 FPS, between Medium and High is 28 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 46 FPS. The 4K results demonstrate that the RTX 4080 has enough headroom to run the game at high refresh rates even at this resolution, with the Ultra preset being the only one that falls below the 100 FPS threshold.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the nature of the workload in Undisputed. For High settings, the average FPS drops from 285 at 1080p to 206 at 1440p and 130 at 4K. This represents a 27.7% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 36.9% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not perfectly proportional to pixel count, which would suggest a 44% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 56% drop from 1080p to 4K. The smaller-than-expected drops indicate that the CPU is partially limiting performance at lower resolutions.

For Ultra settings, the scaling is more pronounced. The average FPS drops from 184 at 1080p to 133 at 1440p and 84 at 4K. This is a 27.7% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 36.8% drop from 1440p to 4K, matching the High preset scaling almost exactly. This consistency suggests that the rendering workload scales linearly with the GPU load, and the CPU is not a limiting factor at Ultra settings across these resolutions.

The Low preset shows the most dramatic scaling: from 479 FPS at 1080p to 346 FPS at 1440p and 219 FPS at 4K. The 27.8% drop from 1080p to 1440p and 36.7% drop from 1440p to 4K again align with the other presets. However, the absolute values are much higher, indicating that at Low settings, the rendering pipeline is simplified enough that the CPU's frame delivery rate (around 479 FPS at 1080p) becomes the initial constraint. As resolution increases, the GPU load increases, and the system transitions from CPU-bound at 1080p to GPU-bound at 4K. The fact that all presets show similar percentage drops suggests that Undisputed's rendering engine scales predictably with pixel count, and the RTX 4080's 16 GB VRAM is sufficient to avoid memory capacity bottlenecks even at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael. It operates at a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with a 105 W TDP. The processor features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. This configuration provides strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1965 and the 3DMark single-thread score of 1060.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p with Low settings, where the system achieves 479 FPS. This figure is significantly higher than the 346 FPS at 1440p and 219 FPS at 4K, suggesting that at 1080p Low, the CPU is delivering frames faster than the GPU can render them, or vice versa. The 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz is well-suited for this sports title, which likely relies on a few primary threads for game logic and physics.

The CPU's multi-thread performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15236 and a 3DMark max-threads score of 6845, indicates that the processor can handle parallel workloads, but the game does not appear to need them. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 6879 is nearly identical to the max-threads score of 6845, suggesting that the processor's performance does not scale significantly beyond 8 threads. This aligns with the game's genre, as sports simulations typically have less complex AI and physics than strategy or simulation titles. The CPU's percentile ranking of 79 places it in the upper quartile of all processors, and its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, scores 0.2% higher on average, showing that the 7600X is competitive with higher-core-count parts in this workload.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 246th out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the system in the top 6.6% of all configurations, a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. The rank indicates that the 7600X does not bottleneck the RTX 4080 significantly in this game, as the combo outperforms the vast majority of systems that might pair the same GPU with a weaker processor.

The CPU's benchmark data supports this finding. The Ryzen 5 7600X has an average benchmark score of 27636, with a percentile ranking of 79. Its nearest rivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K, both score 27578, a 0.2% delta. This means the 7600X is effectively tied with these processors in general compute performance, but its higher boost clock of 5.30 GHz likely provides an edge in games like Undisputed that favor single-thread speed. The GPU's average benchmark score of 54247 with a percentile ranking of 86 places it in the top 14% of all GPUs, and its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores 54209, a 0.1% delta.

The combo rank of 246 out of 3718 suggests that there are 245 other configurations that deliver higher FPS in Undisputed. These likely include pairings of the RTX 4080 with faster CPUs like the Ryzen 7 7800X3D or Intel Core i9-13900K, which would provide higher frame rates at 1080p where the CPU is more influential. However, the data shows that at 4K, the GPU is the primary limiter, and the 7600X's performance is sufficient to keep the RTX 4080 well-fed, as evidenced by the 130 FPS at High settings. The 35% performance drop from High to Ultra at all resolutions indicates that the GPU's rendering load is the dominant factor, and the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration with high clock speeds does not introduce a significant bottleneck. This combo represents a well-balanced system for Undisputed, delivering excellent frame rates at all resolutions and settings, with the only caveat being that the Ultra preset at 4K falls below 100 FPS.
