Undisputed

The pairing of AMD’s Ryzen 7 5700G with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5090 in Undisputed presents a fascinating study in bottleneck dynamics. The CPU, a Zen 3 part with 8 cores and 16 threads, is decidedly last-generation, while the GPU is the current flagship Blackwell design. The measured frame rates across resolutions and settings reveal exactly where this pairing excels and where it hits its limits, offering a clear picture of how a high-end graphics card behaves when paired with an older mid-range processor.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K is the most telling data point for this combo. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 513.3 FPS, but this drops dramatically to 396 FPS at 1440p and further to 249.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 51.4% drop from 1080p to 4K on Low settings, which is substantial. The pattern suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU is the primary limiter; the RTX 5090 is so fast that it is waiting on the Ryzen 7 5700G to feed it data. The 1080p Low score of 513.3 FPS is likely near the practical ceiling for this CPU in this game, regardless of how much GPU headroom exists.

Moving to High settings, the scaling becomes even more dramatic. The system goes from 324.6 FPS at 1080p to 240 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 148.7 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K on High settings is 38%, showing that the GPU is now becoming a more significant factor as the resolution increases and the pixel-pushing workload grows. The gap between 1080p and 1440p on High is 26%, which is a smaller relative drop than on Low, indicating that the CPU bottleneck is less severe when the GPU is already working harder.

The most interesting case is Ultra settings. Here, the system produces 211 FPS at 1080p, 153.5 FPS at 1440p, and 99.9 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only measurement that dips below the 100 FPS mark, a significant threshold for competitive sports gaming. This scaling shows a nearly linear relationship with resolution, suggesting that at Ultra settings, the RTX 5090 is the definitive limiting component at all three resolutions, and the CPU bottleneck is largely masked by the sheer intensity of the graphics workload. The data implies that for this specific pairing, the CPU bottleneck is most pronounced at low resolutions and high frame rates, while the GPU takes over as the primary constraint as visual fidelity and resolution increase.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090 brings a massive amount of hardware to the table, and its role in these results is defined by its memory subsystem and clock speeds. With 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, the card delivers 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. In Undisputed, a sports title with relatively contained environments, this bandwidth is likely more than sufficient, explaining why the GPU can push such high frame rates even at 4K on Medium settings (181.3 FPS). The memory size and speed are not the bottleneck here; the data suggests the card is never starved for data.

The GPU’s clock speeds—a base of 2017 MHz and a boost of 2407 MHz—are the engine behind the raw compute performance. The card’s FP32 throughput of 104.8 TFLOPS is the theoretical peak, and in this game, it translates to excellent performance. The measured results show that even at 4K High, the card sustains 148.7 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the Blackwell architecture is efficiently handling the game’s shaders and physics. The fact that the 4K Ultra score drops to 99.9 FPS is not a sign of weakness but rather a reflection of the extreme demands of Ultra presets, which likely enable heavy post-processing effects that tax the GPU’s shading units.

The GPU’s 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs reinforces its top-tier status. The data shows that in this combo, the RTX 5090 is rarely the limiting factor until you reach the highest settings at 4K. Its role is to provide an enormous headroom of performance, which is only fully utilized when the CPU can keep up. The benchmarks for the GPU, such as a Passmark G3D score of 39650, confirm its immense power, but the game-specific results show that this power is often held back by the CPU at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear hierarchy for the best experience in Undisputed. For players with high-refresh-rate 1080p displays, the Low preset at 513.3 FPS is overkill, but it highlights the CPU limit. The Medium preset at 396.7 FPS is a more balanced choice, offering a significant visual upgrade over Low while still maintaining frame rates far above any display’s refresh rate. The High preset at 324.6 FPS is also excellent, providing the best visual quality without any risk of dropping below the 240 Hz mark.

At 1440p, the High preset at 240 FPS is the sweet spot. It delivers exactly 240 FPS, which aligns perfectly with the refresh rate of many high-end gaming monitors. The Medium preset at 286.4 FPS is also viable, but the jump to High is worth it for the visual improvements. The Ultra preset at 153.5 FPS is still smooth and playable, but it represents a 36% performance hit compared to High, which may not be worth the visual gains for a fast-paced sports game.

For 4K, the situation is more nuanced. The High preset at 148.7 FPS is the best overall recommendation, offering a fluid experience that exceeds 120 FPS. The Medium preset at 181.3 FPS is even faster, but it comes with a noticeable reduction in visual fidelity. The Ultra preset at 99.9 FPS is only recommended for players who prioritize absolute maximum graphics over frame rate, as it just barely misses the 100 FPS mark. The data suggests that High is the optimal preset for this combo at 4K, balancing visual quality and performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the Ryzen 7 5700G and RTX 5090 ranks 26th out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed. This places it in the top 1.6% of all tested systems, which is an outstanding result. The ranking is impressive, but the data suggests it could be even higher with a more modern CPU. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 25626 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, but its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (with a -0.3% delta) and the Intel Core 5 210H (with a 0.5% delta), show that it is not a top-tier performer.

The high combo rank is almost entirely due to the RTX 5090’s dominance. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 84306 puts it in the 94th percentile, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D, is only 0.1% behind. This GPU is so powerful that it can compensate for the CPU’s limitations in most scenarios. The fact that this combo still achieves a rank of 26, despite the CPU’s age, confirms the GPU’s raw power. However, the resolution scaling data shows that a faster CPU would likely push this combo into the top 10, as the 1080p Low frame rate of 513.3 FPS is clearly CPU-limited.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is a Zen 3 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are standard for its generation. The CPU’s benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20755 and a single-core score of 2930, show it is a capable processor, but it is clearly outclassed by newer offerings.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is to manage game logic, physics, and AI, while the GPU handles rendering. The data shows that the CPU is the limiting factor at 1080p and Low settings, where the frame rate of 513.3 FPS is likely a hard ceiling for this processor. The fact that the frame rate drops to 396 FPS at 1440p Low, a 22.9% decrease, while the GPU has more headroom, confirms that the CPU is struggling to generate enough frames to feed the RTX 5090.

The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs is respectable, but its nearest rivals show it is not a leader. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U is 0.3% faster, and the Intel Core 5 210H is 0.5% faster. This suggests that in scenarios where the CPU is the bottleneck, a more modern processor would provide a tangible frame rate improvement. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration is sufficient for this game, but the older Zen 3 architecture and lower clock speeds compared to newer parts limit its ability to fully unlock the RTX 5090’s potential. The data implies that while the combo ranks highly overall, the CPU is holding back the system from achieving even higher frame rates, particularly at lower resolutions.
