Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is a formidable combination for Undisputed’s high-refresh-rate demands. The measured frame rates across resolutions and presets reveal a system capable of extreme performance, but the scaling patterns show clear bottlenecks. Benchmark data indicates that this combo ranks in the top 6% of all tested configurations, making it an elite choice for this boxing title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic, but the pattern reveals precisely where the system's limits shift. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an astronomical 505.4 FPS average. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 366.6 FPS, a reduction of roughly 27%. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 233.3 FPS, which is still exceptionally fast but represents a 54% loss relative to 1080p. This scaling curve clearly indicates that at lower resolutions, the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X’s six cores are the principal limiter, as the RTX 5080 is capable of far more work than the CPU can feed it.

The picture changes when settings are raised. At Ultra preset, the 1080p average is 194.5 FPS, while 1440p Ultra yields 140.4 FPS and 4K Ultra drops to 91.3 FPS. The relative drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is about 53%, similar to the Low preset's percentage loss. However, the absolute numbers tell a different story about the limiting component. At 4K Ultra, the GPU is working hard enough that the frame rate becomes far more dependent on the graphics card's raw throughput. The data shows that while the CPU bottleneck is severe at 1080p Low (505.4 FPS), it remains present even at 4K Ultra, where the system still cannot reach the 144Hz territory at the highest preset.

Comparing High and Medium presets illustrates the same pattern. At 1440p High, the average is 221.4 FPS, versus 261.3 FPS at Medium. At 4K, High yields 137.7 FPS, and Medium yields 167.8 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is roughly 18%, whereas the gap between Low and Medium at 4K is about 28%. This suggests that the RTX 5080 handles the jump from Low to Medium efficiently, but the transition from Medium to High introduces more graphical complexity that begins to strain the GPU's capabilities, even with its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory.

How This Combo Ranks

In the global benchmark database, this CPU-GPU pairing achieves a combo rank of 80 out of 1,580 tested combinations. This places it in the top 5% of all possible pairings, which is an outstanding result for a six-core processor paired with a high-end graphics card. The rank reflects the synergy between the Ryzen 5 9600X's strong single-thread performance and the RTX 5080's massive compute resources.

The CPU's individual percentile ranking is 85th among all processors, meaning it outperforms 85% of CPUs tested in the database. Its average benchmark score is 28,246, which is remarkably close to its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i5-13490F scores 28,173, a delta of just 0.3% behind the Ryzen. The AMD Ryzen 5 230 also scores 28,164, another 0.3% difference. Interestingly, the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and Intel Core i5-14500T both score slightly higher at 28,369 and 28,377 respectively, but only by 0.4% and 0.5%. This means the 9600X is statistically tied with its closest competition in synthetic workloads, yet the gaming results here show that its architecture is well-suited for Undisputed.

The RTX 5080 similarly holds an 89th percentile ranking among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 59,188 puts it ahead of the Intel Arc A570M by 1.6% and the Intel Arc A580 by 2.5%. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500X trails by 2.6%. This places the RTX 5080 in an extremely competitive position, and its performance in this game's measured FPS data is consistent with that high standing.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC. It features 10,752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs. The GPU is equipped with 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores, which support DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6 APIs. The memory subsystem is particularly robust: 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus provides 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is critical for Undisputed at high resolutions, as the game’s detailed character models and arena environments can consume substantial memory.

The clock speeds are 2,295 MHz base and 2,617 MHz boost. The memory operates at 1,875 MHz, translating to 30 Gbps effective. These clocks produce a pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 56.28 TFLOPS, which is identical to the FP16 rate due to the 1:1 ratio. This compute capability is what allows the card to maintain playable frame rates at 4K Ultra, where the measured average is 91.3 FPS.

The RTX 5080’s power envelope is substantial at 360 W TDP, requiring a 750 W suggested PSU and a single 16-pin connector. The card is dual-slot and measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. Its launch MSRP is 999 USD. These factors matter for system integration, but the benchmark results show that the GPU's role in Undisputed is to provide headroom that the CPU cannot fully exploit at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured frame rates provide clear guidance for optimizing the experience. For players with a 1080p 144Hz monitor, the High preset delivers an average of 300.6 FPS, which is far beyond any display's refresh rate. Even the Ultra preset at 1080p produces 194.5 FPS, leaving ample overhead. The data indicates that at 1080p, the Ultra preset is the best choice since it maximizes visual quality without any risk of dropping below high refresh rates.

At 1440p, the High preset averages 221.4 FPS, while Ultra averages 140.4 FPS. For a 144Hz display, High is the safer recommendation, as it maintains a comfortable margin above the refresh cap. However, for a 165Hz or 240Hz panel, Medium at 261.3 FPS would be more appropriate to fully utilize the display's capabilities. The Ultra preset at 1440p is still viable for 120Hz displays, given its 140.4 FPS average.

At 4K, the situation becomes more nuanced. The High preset yields 137.7 FPS, which is excellent for a 120Hz or 144Hz display. The Medium preset provides 167.8 FPS, which is better suited for 144Hz or higher refresh rates. The Ultra preset drops to 91.3 FPS, which is still playable but may not satisfy players with high-refresh 4K panels. The Low preset at 4K produces 233.3 FPS, but the visual sacrifice is likely too severe for a game like Undisputed that relies on detailed character animations. The sweet spot for 4K is the High preset, as it balances visual fidelity with a frame rate that exceeds most displays' refresh rates.
