Undisputed

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows for this combo reveal a clear hierarchy across presets, and the data suggests the Medium preset is the sweet spot for most users. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 207.2 FPS average, which is roughly 20% higher than High's 172.9 FPS, while the jump from Medium to Low (288.9 FPS) offers diminishing returns for competitive play where visual fidelity matters. The gap between Medium and Ultra at 1080p is substantial — Ultra drops to 107.4 FPS, a 48% reduction from Medium — meaning the visual uplift from Ultra likely isn't worth halving your frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds: Medium produces 152.7 FPS, comfortably above High's 124.3 FPS, while Ultra falls to 78.6 FPS. The data indicates that Medium at 1440p is the most balanced choice for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 3840x2160, Medium still manages 93.6 FPS, which is playable, but High (77 FPS) and Ultra (50.7 FPS) become increasingly demanding. For 4K users, Low is the only preset that clears 120 FPS (132.6 FPS), but the visual trade-off is severe. Benchmark results suggest that Medium across all resolutions provides the best balance of frame rate and visual quality, with Low reserved for maximum competitive performance.

GPU Role

The RTX 5060 brings 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its clocks are listed at 2280 MHz base and 2497 MHz boost, and the memory runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). These specifications are relevant to how the card handles Undisputed's rendering load. The GPU's 3840 shading units and 30 RT cores suggest it is well-equipped for modern sports titles, but the 8 GB VRAM capacity is a limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings.

In the measured data, the jump from Medium to High at 4K costs 16.6 FPS (from 93.6 to 77), while the jump from High to Ultra costs another 26.3 FPS (from 77 to 50.7). This steepening curve implies that Ultra settings are likely exceeding the GPU's comfortable memory bandwidth or shading throughput. The RTX 5060's FP32 performance of 19.18 TFLOPS and texture rate of 299.6 GTexel/s are strong on paper, but the 48 ROPs may bottleneck pixel-heavy scenes at 4K Ultra. The data shows the GPU is the primary driver of performance differences between presets, as the FPS scaling aligns with the card's compute and memory characteristics.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and reveals where the bottleneck lies. At Medium settings, 1080p yields 207.2 FPS, 1440p yields 152.7 FPS (a 26% drop), and 4K yields 93.6 FPS (a 55% drop from 1080p). This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions — the CPU has enough headroom at 1080p to push high frame rates, but the GPU struggles to keep pace as pixel count quadruples.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic: 288.9 FPS at 1080p drops to 208.7 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 132.6 FPS at 4K (a 54% reduction from 1080p). Interestingly, the percentage drop from 1440p to 4K is nearly identical across Low and Medium (around 36-37%), suggesting that the GPU's memory bandwidth, not compute, is the limiting factor at 4K. At High settings, 1080p produces 172.9 FPS, 1440p produces 124.3 FPS (28% drop), and 4K produces 77 FPS (55% drop). The consistent ~55% reduction from 1080p to 4K across presets indicates that resolution scaling is predictable and GPU-bound, with the RTX 5060's 128-bit bus and 448 GB/s bandwidth being the likely constraint at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings average 288.9 FPS, Medium 207.2 FPS, High 172.9 FPS, and Ultra 107.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 181.5 FPS, which is a 169% improvement for Low. This wide spread suggests the game's Ultra preset introduces heavy effects that tax the GPU disproportionately.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low 208.7 FPS, Medium 152.7 FPS, High 124.3 FPS, and Ultra 78.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 130.1 FPS (a 165% improvement), mirroring the 1080p pattern. Notably, 1440p Medium (152.7 FPS) is nearly identical to 1080p High (172.9 FPS) — a 12% reduction — which indicates that Medium at a higher resolution may be visually superior to High at a lower resolution for similar frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the data shows: Low 132.6 FPS, Medium 93.6 FPS, High 77 FPS, and Ultra 50.7 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured value below 60 FPS, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The 4K Low result (132.6 FPS) is still above 120 FPS, which is impressive for a mid-range GPU, but the visual compromises are significant. Across all resolutions, the Medium preset consistently offers a frame rate that is roughly 70% of Low, while High is about 60% of Low, and Ultra is about 37% of Low.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 ranks 789 out of 1580 combos, placing it in the 50th percentile. This mid-pack ranking is interesting given the GPU's strong synthetic scores. The RTX 5060's avgBenchmarkScore of 30109 puts it in the 73rd percentile among all GPUs, with its nearest rival being the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (deltaPct 0) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (deltaPct 0.6). The CPU's avgBenchmarkScore of 28631 places it in the 85th percentile, with the Intel Core i5-12600 as a near match (deltaPct -0.1).

The combo's rank of 789 suggests that while each component is individually strong, the pairing may not be optimal for Undisputed specifically. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for a sports title, but the GPU's 8 GB VRAM could be limiting at higher settings. The data implies that the RTX 5060, while competitive with the RX 7700 XT on average, may not scale as well in this game's Ultra preset compared to other titles. The mid-pack ranking indicates that other CPU-GPU pairings in the database deliver better frame rates per dollar of performance, though this analysis does not consider pricing.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is a Zen 2 (Matisse) processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost up to 4.40 GHz. Its 32 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) are typical for a 2019-era desktop CPU. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 19087 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2694 in single-core, with a Passmark multithread score of 22458 and single-thread score of 2656. These results place it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rivals being the Intel Core i5-12600 (deltaPct -0.1) and AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (deltaPct 0.1).

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations. The measured FPS data indicates that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 288.9 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's practical limit for this game's engine. The fact that 1080p Low (288.9 FPS) is only 38% higher than 4K Low (132.6 FPS) suggests that the CPU can handle high frame rates without bottlenecking, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. The 16 threads provide ample headroom for background tasks, and the 65W TDP means thermal throttling is unlikely. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking and strong multicore scores suggest it pairs well with the RTX 5060 for this game, though the combo's 50th percentile rank indicates the GPU is the more significant contributor to overall performance.
