Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 pairing delivers a highly playable experience in Undisputed, though the data reveals a clear performance hierarchy that shifts dramatically depending on resolution and quality preset. The RTX 5050, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, proves to be the dominant factor in this combo, while the 8-core, 16-thread Ryzen 7 5700 provides ample headroom to keep the simulation running smoothly.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable yet steep decline as resolution increases, indicating that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 is the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 241 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 drops that figure to 174 FPS, a reduction of 67 FPS (27.8%). Pushing further to 3840x2160 yields 110 FPS, another 64 FPS lower (36.8%). This scaling pattern is consistent with a GPU that has a raw FP32 throughput of 13.17 TFLOPS and a memory bandwidth of 320.0 GB/s; the workload at 4K simply requires more pixel processing and memory traffic than the card can sustain at lower resolutions.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution, highlighting the GPU's finite resources. At 1080p, the difference between Low (241 FPS) and Ultra (92 FPS) is 149 FPS. At 1440p, the spread is 107 FPS (174 vs 67). At 4K, the gap narrows to 68 FPS (110 vs 42). This narrowing suggests that at 4K Ultra, the GPU is so saturated that even the most demanding settings cannot extract additional performance headroom from the CPU; the rendering pipeline is fully constrained. The 4K Medium preset shows a minimum FPS of 67 and a maximum of 91, indicating frame times are more variable at this resolution, while 1080p Medium is notably stable with a 147 FPS minimum and 200 FPS maximum.

The data indicates that the Ryzen 7 5700 is not the limiting component in this configuration. The CPU's 3DMark single-thread score of 901 and multi-thread score of 6617 are sufficient to feed the RTX 5050 at all tested resolutions. The FPS drops from 1080p to 4K are almost entirely attributable to the GPU's rendering capabilities, not to CPU processing limits. The Ultra preset at 4K, with an average of 42 FPS, is the only configuration that borders on unplayable, while High at 4K (66 FPS) and Medium at 4K (79 FPS) remain within a playable range, though they fall short of the high refresh rate targets achievable at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700, built on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm process, provides 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. In Undisputed, a sports simulation title, these resources are more than adequate. The CPU's benchmark scores reinforce this: Cinebench R23 multi-core yields 20655 points, while the single-core test produces 2916 points. These figures place the processor in the 78th percentile of all CPUs tested, indicating it has substantial headroom for gaming workloads.

The game's performance scaling with resolution confirms that the CPU is not the bottleneck. When the GPU load increases from 1080p to 4K, the FPS drops proportionally, which would not happen if the CPU were limiting performance. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 241 FPS, which is high enough to stress even a capable processor, but the Ryzen 7 5700 keeps up. The PassMark single-thread score of 3296 further suggests that the processor's per-core performance is solid for handling game logic and physics calculations.

Comparing to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 5700 performs nearly identically to the Intel Xeon D-2752TER, with a delta of -0.1% in average benchmark score. It is also just 0.1% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U and 0.1% behind the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H. The small deltas (ranging from -0.1% to 0.3%) indicate that the CPU is well-matched with its peers, and none of these processors would be expected to yield significantly different results in Undisputed when paired with the same GPU. The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this game's demands.

The processor's 65 W TDP and unlocked multiplier suggest it can sustain boost clocks for extended periods without thermal throttling, which is beneficial for maintaining consistent frame rates in a boxing simulation where action can be continuous. The data shows that the CPU's role is to provide stable, high-throughput processing without becoming a limiting factor, and the Ryzen 7 5700 accomplishes this across all tested settings and resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 1722 out of 2813 tested combinations places it in the lower half of the performance spectrum. This ranking is primarily driven by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050's position in the GPU hierarchy. The GPU's percentile rank of 66 indicates it performs better than 66% of all GPUs tested, but it is not a high-end part. Its average benchmark score of 21035 is closely matched by its nearest rivals, with deltas ranging from -1.6% to 1.6%, showing that it sits in a competitive mid-range segment.

The CPU's rank is slightly higher, at the 78th percentile, but this does not boost the overall combo ranking because the GPU is the limiting factor in most gaming scenarios. The data shows that the RTX 5050's performance is comparable to the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (which scores 1.6% lower) and the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL (which scores 0.6% higher). This positioning means that in Undisputed, the combo will deliver frame rates consistent with these mid-range GPUs, which are capable of 1080p and 1440p gaming but struggle with 4K Ultra.

The rank of 1722 suggests that there are 1091 combos that perform better, which includes configurations with higher-end GPUs like the RTX 5070 or RX 7800 XT. For a user targeting high refresh rate 1080p or solid 1440p performance, this combo is adequate, but it is not competitive with top-tier setups. The data also shows that the combo's performance is heavily dependent on settings; at 1080p Low, it achieves 241 FPS, which is in the top tier of performance, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 42 FPS, which is below the playable threshold for most users. This variance is typical of a mid-range GPU that has enough power for lower resolutions but lacks the memory bandwidth and processing power for 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p users, the High preset delivers an average of 144 FPS, which is ideal for a 144 Hz monitor. For those with a 240 Hz display, the Low preset at 241 FPS is the best choice, though the Medium preset at 173 FPS is a balanced option that offers better visual quality while still exceeding 144 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p (92 FPS) is only recommended for users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, as it remains above 60 FPS.

At 1440p, the High preset averages 104 FPS, which is suitable for a 100 Hz or 120 Hz monitor. The Medium preset at 125 FPS is the best choice for a 144 Hz display, as it provides a stable experience with a minimum of 107 FPS. The Low preset at 174 FPS is excessive for most 1440p monitors but can be used with high-refresh panels. The Ultra preset at 67 FPS is borderline; it is playable but may not provide a consistently smooth experience in fast-paced fights.

For 4K, the data suggests that the Medium preset is the most reasonable choice, with an average of 79 FPS and a minimum of 67 FPS. The High preset at 66 FPS is marginally playable but suffers from occasional drops. The Ultra preset at 42 FPS is not recommended for competitive play, as it falls below the 60 FPS threshold. Users with 4K displays should stick to Medium or Low settings to maintain playable frame rates. The Low preset at 4K (110 FPS) is surprisingly strong and suggests that the game is not heavily GPU-bound at lower settings, making it a viable option for high-refresh 4K monitors.
