Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, with average frame rates that remain above the threshold for high-refresh-rate gaming even at maximum settings. The data indicates a system that scales predictably with resolution, though the performance ceiling at 1080p suggests a shift in the bottleneck as graphical load decreases.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 514 FPS, which drops to 392 FPS at 1440p and further to 248 FPS at 4K. This represents a reduction of 23.7% from 1080p to 1440p, and an additional 36.7% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, indicating that the game becomes progressively more GPU-bound as pixel count increases.

At High settings, the same pattern holds: 323 FPS at 1080p, 233 FPS at 1440p (a 27.9% drop), and 148 FPS at 4K (a 36.5% drop from 1440p). The Medium preset shows similar behavior with 390 FPS at 1080p, 282 FPS at 1440p, and 178 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings produce 208 FPS at 1080p, 150 FPS at 1440p, and 95 FPS at 4K.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K is remarkably consistent across all settings, with a reduction of approximately 36-37% in average frame rate. This consistency suggests that the RTX 5090's memory bandwidth and processing power are being utilized uniformly as resolution increases. The 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the 8.3 million pixels at 4K.

The 1080p results are particularly revealing. At Low settings, the 514 FPS average is likely approaching the CPU limit for this engine. The Ryzen 7 5700, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, has a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20655 and a single-core score of 2916. In a sports game like Undisputed, which typically relies on a few primary threads for simulation and physics, the single-thread performance becomes critical. The 3DMark single-thread score of 901 suggests that at extremely high frame rates, the CPU may struggle to feed the GPU adequately.

The gap between 1080p Low (514 FPS) and 1440p Low (392 FPS) is 122 FPS, while the gap between 1440p Low and 4K Low (248 FPS) is 144 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is still the primary limiter at 1440p, but the diminishing returns at 1080p hint at CPU involvement. For users targeting the highest refresh rates, the 1080p results show diminishing returns relative to the 1440p figures, suggesting that the sweet spot for this combo is at higher resolutions where the GPU can fully stretch its legs.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the dominant component in this configuration, and its specifications make it exceptionally well-suited for high-resolution gaming. The GPU features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is critical for 4K gaming, where texture data and geometry can easily exceed the capacities of lesser cards. In Undisputed, the 4K Ultra preset still manages 95 FPS average, which demonstrates the GPU's raw compute power.

The RTX 5090's clock speeds are modest in absolute terms — a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz — but the architecture compensates with massive parallel throughput. The GPU contains 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output units. This configuration yields a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s. These figures explain why the card can push 514 FPS at 1080p Low: the rasterization and texture processing capabilities are simply enormous.

The FP32 performance of 104.8 TFLOPS is a key metric for modern game engines that rely heavily on shader computation. Undisputed, as a sports simulation, uses physics calculations for player movement and punch impact, which benefit from raw floating-point throughput. The 104.8 TFLOPS figure doubles as FP16 performance at a 1:1 ratio, though the game likely uses FP32 for most operations.

The RTX 5090's 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores are present but may not be fully utilized in this title. Boxing games typically use rasterization for the majority of rendering, with ray tracing reserved for reflections and shadows in replays or cinematic sequences. The benchmark results show that even without relying on ray tracing, the GPU delivers frame rates well above the 60 FPS target.

The GPU's benchmark scores corroborate its gaming performance. The PassMark G3D score of 39650 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 18355 place it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (0.3% higher average score) and the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (1.1% higher), though these comparisons are based on aggregated benchmarks rather than game-specific performance.

The 575 W TDP and suggested 950 W PSU indicate that this GPU demands substantial power delivery. The dual-slot cooler with a 304 mm length requires adequate case clearance, and the 1x 16-pin power connector necessitates a modern power supply. These physical requirements are worth considering for system builders, though they do not impact the measured FPS data.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Undisputed?*

A: The data shows that 1440p provides the best balance between visual fidelity and performance.
