Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, ranking 67th out of 1580 tested hardware combos for this title. The data shows a system capable of high refresh rates even at demanding resolutions, with the GPU acting as the primary scaling factor as resolution increases, while the CPU maintains a robust foundation at lower settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frames per second reveal a classic resolution scaling curve, with the RTX 5080's workload increasing significantly as pixel count rises. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 507.3 FPS, which drops to 370 FPS at 1440p and 231.3 FPS at 4K. This progression shows a 54% performance reduction from 1080p Low to 4K Low, indicating that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced at higher quality presets. Using High settings, the system delivers 304.7 FPS at 1080p, 220.1 FPS at 1440p, and 136.9 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result represents a 55% drop from the 1080p High figure, demonstrating that the RTX 5080's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth are being increasingly taxed as resolution climbs. The 4K Ultra setting produces 91.6 FPS, which is only 30% of the 1080p Low result, highlighting how the combination of high resolution and maximum quality settings creates a substantial workload.

The data suggests that the RTX 5080, with its 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 112 ROPs, maintains a strong performance envelope at 1440p. The gap between 1080p and 1440p results at Medium settings (367.7 FPS versus 264.5 FPS) is 28%, while the gap between 1440p and 4K at Medium (264.5 FPS versus 169.6 FPS) is 36%. This larger relative drop at 4K confirms that the GPU's memory subsystem and shading units become the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 7600X provides the processing foundation for these results, leveraging its 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture. The CPU's boost clock of 5.30 GHz and base clock of 4.70 GHz contribute to strong single-threaded performance, which is critical for maintaining high frame rates in a sports title like Undisputed. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1060 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3406 indicate that the processor can keep up with the GPU's output, especially at lower resolutions where the CPU often becomes the limiting factor.

At 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 507.3 FPS, which is an extremely high frame rate that requires substantial CPU throughput. The Ryzen 5 7600X's PassMark single-thread score of 4135 and Geekbench single-core score of 2892 suggest it can handle this demand. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient data throughput for the game's physics and AI calculations.

The processor's 3DMark multi-threaded scores show a scaling pattern from 2028 (2 threads) to 6845 (max threads), indicating that the 12 threads are effectively utilized. However, the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 24128 and PassMark multi-thread score of 28390 suggest that the CPU's performance plateaus beyond 8 threads, which is typical for a 6-core part. In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears to be more about maintaining consistent frame pacing rather than providing massive multi-threaded throughput.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on optimal settings for this hardware combination. At 4K, the Ultra preset delivers 91.6 FPS, which is playable but may not fully utilize a high-refresh-rate display. The High preset at 4K produces 136.9 FPS, a 49% improvement over Ultra while maintaining visual quality that most players would find acceptable. For players prioritizing frame rate, the Medium preset at 4K offers 169.6 FPS, which is 85% higher than Ultra and provides a smoother experience for competitive play.

At 1440p, the High preset delivers 220.1 FPS, which is an excellent balance of visual fidelity and performance. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces 138.4 FPS, still well above the 120 Hz threshold, making it a viable option for players with high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 1440p achieves 264.5 FPS, which is suitable for 240 Hz displays. At 1080p, the High preset produces 304.7 FPS, while Ultra yields 193.1 FPS, both of which are sufficient for even the fastest gaming monitors.

The data indicates that the High preset offers the best experience per the measured rows, as it provides a substantial frame rate advantage over Ultra while maintaining higher visual quality than Medium. The difference between High and Ultra at 1080p is 111.6 FPS (304.7 versus 193.1), while at 4K the difference is 45.3 FPS (136.9 versus 91.6). This suggests that the graphical improvements from Ultra settings are not worth the performance cost on this hardware.

GPU Role

The RTX 5080 is the dominant component in this system, with its 10752 shading units and 336 TMUs providing substantial rasterization throughput. The GPU's 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for handling the high-resolution textures and effects in Undisputed. The benchmark data shows the GPU's performance scaling from 36565 in PassMark G3D to 8637 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with a Vulkan score of 257942 in Geekbench indicating strong API efficiency.

The GPU's 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores provide additional processing capabilities, though these are less relevant for a sports title that primarily uses traditional rasterization. The 293.1 GPixel/s pixel rate and 879.3 GTexel/s texture rate enable the high frame rates observed in the measured data. At 4K Ultra, the GPU's workload results in 91.6 FPS, which is 70% lower than the 1080p Low result, demonstrating how the shading and memory subsystems are stressed at maximum quality.

The RTX 5080's 89th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its position relative to rivals (1.6% ahead of the Intel Arc A570M and 1.9% behind the Intel Arc Pro A60) indicate that it is a high-end part, but not the absolute fastest available. The GPU's 2.617 GHz boost clock and 2295 MHz base clock provide the raw speed needed for the frame rates observed, while the 360 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest adequate cooling for sustained performance. The 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is the key metric for this game's rendering workload, as it directly influences the pixel throughput required for high-resolution rendering.
