CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on TSMC's 4 nm process with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. It operates with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, drawing 65 W TDP. This CPU comes from the 8000 series, uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform, and supports DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. It includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache.

Benchmark data positions this CPU at the 77th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 25,005. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (0.2% higher score), Intel Core i7-11850H (0.3% higher), and Intel Core i7-13620H (0.4% higher). The AMD EPYC 9474F trails by 0.4%. This tight clustering suggests the 8400F delivers performance squarely in the mainstream-to-upper-midrange CPU tier.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes evident when examining the scaling patterns. At 1080p Low, the system produces 575 FPS, which is the highest measured result across all configurations. The jump from 1080p Low to 1080p Medium (416 FPS) represents a 27.7% drop, while moving from Medium to High (344 FPS) costs another 17.3%. These substantial drops at lower resolutions indicate the CPU is keeping pace with the GPU's output, but the game's engine becomes increasingly GPU-bound as settings rise.

The 3DMark single-thread score of 951 and multi-thread score of 6,165 suggest the processor handles both lightly-threaded and heavily-threaded workloads competently. Cinebench R23 scores of 2,943 single-core and 20,851 multi-core reinforce this picture. For a sports title like Undisputed, which typically relies on consistent frame pacing rather than extreme multi-threading, the 8400F's balanced performance profile proves sufficient — the data shows no scenario where the CPU becomes a bottleneck that drags average framerates below playable thresholds.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings selection. At 4K, the Ultra preset delivers 101 FPS average, which is the lowest measured result across all resolution/settings combinations. The High preset at 4K produces 157 FPS, a 55.4% improvement over Ultra. The Medium preset reaches 190 FPS with a minimum of 162 FPS and maximum of 219 FPS, while Low at 4K achieves 264 FPS.

At 1440p, the picture improves substantially. Ultra runs at 160 FPS, High at 249 FPS, Medium at 301 FPS (with 256 FPS minimum and 346 FPS maximum), and Low at 418 FPS. The 1080p results are extraordinary: Ultra hits 222 FPS, High reaches 344 FPS, Medium delivers 416 FPS (minimum 354 FPS, maximum 478 FPS), and Low produces 575 FPS.

The data suggests that High settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 4K High, the 157 FPS average exceeds the 144 Hz refresh rate common on high-end monitors, while 1440p High at 249 FPS and 1080p High at 344 FPS offer headroom for even the fastest displays. The gap between High and Ultra is consistent — approximately 35-38% across all resolutions — which indicates Ultra imposes a significant rendering cost without proportional benefits. Medium settings remain viable for users prioritizing maximum smoothness, particularly at 4K where the 162 FPS minimum ensures no drops below standard high-refresh thresholds.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The comboRankInGame field places this configuration at rank 34 out of 2,813 tested combinations. This top-1.2% positioning reflects the extraordinary capability of the RTX 5090 D paired with a competent mid-range CPU. The ranking implies that only 33 other CPU/GPU combinations across the entire database produce higher average framerates in Undisputed.

This ranking makes sense given the GPU's placement at the 92nd percentile of all GPUs and the CPU's 77th percentile standing. The combination leverages the GPU's massive compute resources — 21,760 shading units, 680 TMUs, 176 ROPs, and 170 RT cores — while the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads at up to 4.70 GHz provide sufficient instruction throughput. The 0.2% performance delta between this CPU and the Ryzen 5 7500F suggests that the ranking position is primarily determined by GPU capabilities rather than CPU differences, as the processor's nearest rivals all score within 0.4% of each other.

The fact that this combo achieves 34th place despite using a mid-range CPU indicates that Undisputed's engine scales well with GPU resources. The RTX 5090 D's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus with 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provides substantial headroom for texture-heavy boxing arenas and character models. The CPU's role becomes more prominent at lower resolutions where framerates exceed 400 FPS, but even then, the 8400F maintains sufficient throughput to avoid becoming the limiting factor.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU built on TSMC's 5 nm process, containing 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die. It operates with a base clock of 2017 MHz and boost clock of 2407 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The card features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory across a 512-bit bus, achieving 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth. Its 575 W TDP and dual-slot design with a single 16-pin power connector require a suggested 950 W PSU.

Benchmark results place the GPU at the 92nd percentile among all graphics cards, with an average score of 77,712. Its nearest rivals show interesting comparisons: the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT scores 1.1% higher despite being a mobile GPU, while the RX 6850M XT trails by 1.6%, and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 variants lag by 2.1% and 2.4% respectively. These small percentage differences against vastly different hardware classes highlight the RTX 5090 D's position at the upper echelon of consumer graphics.

The GPU's role in Undisputed becomes clear when examining the framerate scaling across settings. At 4K, the difference between Low (264 FPS) and Ultra (101 FPS) is 163 FPS — a 61.7% reduction. This massive drop indicates the Ultra preset loads the GPU heavily with increased geometry, shadow quality, and post-processing effects. The Medium preset's minimum FPS values — 162 at 4K, 256 at 1440p, and 354 at 1080p — demonstrate consistent frame delivery even under load, suggesting the 32 GB VRAM buffer prevents any memory-related hitches.

The GPU's FP32 compute capability of 104.8 TFLOPS and pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s provide ample raw power for the game's rendering demands. With texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s, the card can feed its 176 ROPs efficiently, which explains why even at 4K Ultra the average remains above 100 FPS. The 12 Ultimate DirectX support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility ensure the GPU can utilize modern rendering paths available in the game engine.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the measured results show: Low settings produce 575 FPS average, Medium delivers 416 FPS (354 minimum, 478 maximum), High reaches 344 FPS, and Ultra achieves 222 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra represents a 61.4% reduction in average framerate, with each settings tier costing roughly 20-27% performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results scale predictably: Low delivers 418 FPS, Medium produces 301 FPS (256 minimum, 346 maximum), High reaches 249 FPS, and Ultra achieves 160 FPS. The 1440p results represent approximately 72-73% of the 1080p framerates at each settings level, reflecting the increased pixel count from 2.07 million to 3.69 million.

At 3840x2160, the framerates drop further: Low produces 264 FPS, Medium delivers 190 FPS (162 minimum, 219 maximum), High reaches 157 FPS, and Ultra achieves 101 FPS. The 4K results are 45-46% of 1080p performance, consistent with the 4x pixel count increase from 1080p to 4K.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data across all resolutions. The minimum-to-average ratios are consistent: 85.3% at 4K, 85.0% at 1440p, and 85.1% at 1080p. This consistency suggests stable frame pacing regardless of resolution, with worst-case drops of approximately 15% below the average.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling analysis reveals critical insights about system bottlenecks. From 1080p to 1440p, average framerates drop by 27.3% on Low (575 to 418), 27.6% on Medium (416 to 301), 27.6% on High (344 to 249), and 27.9% on Ultra (222 to 160). These nearly identical percentage drops across all settings suggest the scaling is purely pixel-bound, with the GPU handling the increased workload uniformly.

From 1440p to 4K, the drops are more pronounced: Low falls 36.8% (418 to 264), Medium drops 36.9% (301 to 190), High declines 37.0% (249 to 157), and Ultra decreases 36.9% (160 to 101). Again, the consistency across settings is remarkable — every preset shows nearly identical percentage declines when moving from 1440p to 4K. This uniformity indicates the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, with its rendering throughput scaling predictably with pixel count.

However, the CPU's influence appears at the highest framerates. At 1080p Low, the system produces 575 FPS — a figure that approaches the limits of what the Ryzen 5 8400F can feed. The fact that the 1080p-to-1440p drop is smaller than the 1440p-to-4K drop suggests the system is not purely GPU-limited at 1080p; if it were, the percentage drops would match the pixel count ratios more closely. The 1440p-to-4K transition involves a 2.25x pixel increase but only a ~37% framerate drop, indicating the GPU has headroom that becomes fully utilized only at 4K.

The data implies that at 1080p and to some extent 1440p, the CPU imposes a ceiling on maximum framerates. The 8400F's single-thread performance (951 in 3DMark single-thread, 2,943 in Cinebench R23) and 12 threads provide enough throughput for 575 FPS at 1080p Low, but the scaling from High to Ultra at each resolution shows the GPU becoming progressively more dominant as settings increase. For users targeting the highest possible framerates, 1080p Low with this combo exceeds any current display's refresh rate, while 4K Ultra remains comfortably above 100 FPS — evidence of the balanced nature of this CPU-GPU pairing.
