Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 pairing delivers a broad performance envelope in Undisputed, with measured average frame rates spanning from 63.6 FPS at 4K Ultra to 361.7 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination places in the 492nd position out of 1580 tested combos, indicating a strong, above-median standing for this title. The data shows a system capable of high-refresh-rate play at mainstream resolutions, while 4K Ultra remains the only setting that dips below the 60 FPS threshold, making it the boundary case for this hardware pairing.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU. At 1080p Low, the system produces 361.7 FPS, a figure that suggests the CPU is the primary limiter at this extreme low-settings configuration. Moving to 1440p Low drops the average to 259.8 FPS, a reduction of 101.9 FPS (28.2% lower), while 4K Low yields 167.5 FPS, which is 46.6% below the 1080p Low result. This scaling pattern indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU begins to assert its influence as pixel count rises.

The gap between settings narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 225.5 FPS (from 361.7 to 136.2), a massive range that highlights the CPU's ability to feed frames when the GPU is lightly loaded. At 1440p, the spread compresses to 160.1 FPS (from 259.8 to 99.7), and at 4K, it tightens further to 103.9 FPS (from 167.5 to 63.6). The diminishing delta between Low and Ultra as resolution climbs confirms that the RTX 3080's rendering overhead becomes the dominant constraint at higher pixel counts.

Looking at the High preset specifically, the data shows a drop from 212.3 FPS at 1080p to 155.6 FPS at 1440p (26.7% decrease), and then to 95.8 FPS at 4K (38.4% decrease from 1440p). The percentage loss from 1440p to 4K is larger than from 1080p to 1440p, which is consistent with the GPU's memory bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s and 10 GB of GDDR6X being pushed harder at 4K. The RTX 3080's 29.77 TFLOPS of FP32 compute appears sufficient for 1440p High, but the 4K High result of 95.8 FPS shows clear GPU-bound behavior.

The Ultra preset tells a similar story with a steeper curve. At 1080p Ultra, the system hits 136.2 FPS; at 1440p Ultra, it falls to 99.7 FPS (26.8% drop); and at 4K Ultra, it lands at 63.6 FPS (36.2% drop from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result is the only measured point below 60 FPS, suggesting that this resolution and settings combination exceeds the comfortable envelope for the RTX 3080 in Undisputed. The data implies that for 4K play, users should target High or lower presets to maintain fluid motion.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to maintain 144+ FPS?

A: At 1080p, all four presets exceed 136 FPS, with Low reaching 361.7 FPS. At 1440p, only Low (259.8 FPS) and Medium (184.3 FPS) sustain averages above 144 FPS, while High (155.6 FPS) barely clears the threshold. 4K does not achieve 144 FPS at any measured setting.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 (Phoenix) architecture, with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. This configuration produces a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20851 and a single-core score of 2943, with a PassMark single-thread result of 3684. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25064, places it in a competitive position for gaming workloads.

In Undisputed, the CPU's influence is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. The jump from 1080p Low (361.7 FPS) to 1080p Medium (260.4 FPS) is 101.3 FPS, a 28.0% reduction that reflects the GPU taking on more work as settings rise. However, the drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low (259.8 FPS) is nearly identical in magnitude (101.9 FPS), which suggests that the CPU's frame generation capacity is the binding constraint at Low settings regardless of resolution, until the GPU load becomes too heavy.

The nearest rival comparisons show the 8400F's performance class. It sits within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (deltaPct 0.3), effectively tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (deltaPct 0), and slightly behind the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (deltaPct -0.1) and AMD EPYC 9474F (deltaPct -0.2). These tiny deltas indicate that the 8400F's compute throughput is well-matched to its peers, and the measured FPS in Undisputed reflects this balanced position.

The 65W TDP and 4 nm process node from TSMC allow for sustained boost clocks without excessive thermal load, which helps maintain consistent frame delivery in long sessions. The L3 cache of 16 MB shared across 6 cores is modest but adequate for a sports title like Undisputed, where the data shows the CPU can push over 360 FPS at 1080p Low. The 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth from dual-channel DDR5 support ensures the CPU's 12 threads stay fed, particularly during the 1080p Low test where CPU-bound behavior is evident.

The measured FPS values consistently exceed 60 FPS at all resolution/settings combinations except 4K Ultra, which suggests the combo is well-tuned for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p and 1440p.

Comparing to the GPU's rivals, the RTX 3080's average benchmark score of 35787 is within 1% of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE (36101) and Radeon Pro Duo (35860), but the actual in-game results for this combo show it outperforming many higher-ranked systems due to the efficient CPU pairing. The 8400F's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20851 provides enough thread throughput to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 3080 at most settings, as evidenced by the 1440p High result of 155.6 FPS, which is well above typical 144Hz gaming targets.

The rank also benefits from the game's genre. Sports titles like Undisputed often favor high single-thread performance, and the 8400F's PassMark single-thread score of 3684 (with a 3DMark single-thread score of 951) ensures responsive frame pacing. The data indicates that this combo is not merely average but sits comfortably in the top third, making it a viable choice for competitive play where frame consistency matters.

Settings Recommendations

For users targeting 144Hz monitors, the 1440p High preset delivers 155.6 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above the refresh rate. This setting offers a balance between visual fidelity and performance, as the jump from High to Ultra at 1440p costs 55.9 FPS (from 155.6 to 99.7), a 35.9% reduction that may not justify the visual gains in a fast-paced sports title. The 1440p Medium preset (184.3 FPS) is also viable for those who prefer higher frame rates over graphical detail.

For 4K displays, the data suggests that Medium is the optimal choice, producing 117.7 FPS. This is 21.9 FPS higher than 4K High (95.8 FPS) and 54.1 FPS higher than 4K Ultra (63.6 FPS). The 4K Medium result provides a smooth experience for most displays, while 4K Ultra dips to 63.6 FPS, which may cause noticeable stutter on 60Hz panels that lack VRR support. Users with high-refresh 4K monitors should stick to Medium or Low (167.5 FPS) for the best experience.

At 1080p, the High preset (212.3 FPS) is the recommended starting point, as it offers a significant improvement over Medium (260.4 FPS) in visual quality while still maintaining well over 200 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p (136.2 FPS) is acceptable for 120Hz monitors, but the 76.1 FPS difference between Medium and Ultra suggests diminishing returns. The Low preset (361.7 FPS) is only recommended for esports-style play where maximum frame rate is paramount, as the visual compromise is substantial.

The data shows that the sweet spot for this combo is 1440p High, which balances the CPU's 6-core throughput with the RTX 3080's 10 GB memory capacity. The 155.6 FPS average leaves headroom for occasional drops, and the 4K Medium option provides a viable path for those with 4K displays who still want smooth gameplay. The 4K Ultra result of 63.6 FPS is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it unsuitable for most users.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its peak performance range. The Low preset produces 361.7 FPS, which is the highest measured value across all resolutions and settings. Medium delivers 260.4 FPS, High reaches 212.3 FPS, and Ultra settles at 136.2 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 225.5 FPS spread, with each step up in settings costing between 49.3 FPS (Medium to High) and 101.3 FPS (Low to Medium).

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down predictably. Low yields 259.8 FPS, Medium produces 184.3 FPS, High achieves 155.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 99.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium here is 75.5 FPS, while the gap from Medium to High is 28.7 FPS, and High to Ultra is 55.9 FPS. This non-linear scaling indicates that the Ultra preset introduces a disproportionate load on the RTX 3080.

At 3840x2160, the system shows its limits. Low still manages 167.5 FPS, Medium drops to 117.7 FPS, High falls to 95.8 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 63.6 FPS. The 4K Low result is notable because it exceeds the 1440p Ultra result (99.7 FPS) by 67.8 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU can handle 4K when the settings are sufficiently reduced. The 4K Medium to High step costs 21.9 FPS, while High to Ultra costs 32.2 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset is the most demanding configuration in the entire measured set.

The highest single result across all data points is 1080p Low at 361.7 FPS, while the lowest is 4K Ultra at 63.6 FPS. The ratio between these extremes is 5.7x, illustrating the wide operating range of this combo. For a 60 FPS target, all settings except 4K Ultra are viable. For a 144 FPS target, 1080p all presets, 1440p Low/Medium/High, and 4K Low are viable. For a 240 FPS target, only 1080p Low (361.7) and 1080p Medium (260.4) exceed the threshold, with 1440p Low (259.8) just barely clearing it.
