Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 shows a clear and consistent pattern of performance scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 241 FPS on average. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 174 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls further to 110 FPS. That represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, which is a substantial hit but still leaves the system well above playable thresholds.

The scaling pattern shifts when looking at higher settings presets. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 144 at 1080p to 104 at 1440p and finally to 66 at 4K. This is a 54% drop from 1080p to 4K as well, but the absolute numbers tell a different story about where the bottleneck lies. At 4K High, the system is just barely maintaining 66 FPS, which suggests the GPU is doing most of the heavy lifting at that resolution.

The Medium preset provides the most complete data set, with minimum and maximum FPS recorded at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the average is 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 and maximum of 200. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 125 FPS with a minimum of 107 and maximum of 144. At 4K Medium, the average is 79 FPS with a minimum of 67 and maximum of 91. The minimum FPS numbers at 4K Medium (67) are actually higher than the average FPS at 4K High (66), which indicates that the Medium preset provides more consistent frame pacing at 4K.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling penalty. At 1080p Ultra, the system manages 92 FPS on average. At 1440p Ultra, that drops to 67 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the average falls to just 42 FPS. That is a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings, matching the pattern seen at other presets. However, the absolute numbers at 4K Ultra (42 FPS) are below the threshold for smooth gameplay in a sports title, suggesting that the RTX 5050's 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus are limiting factors at the highest settings and resolution.

The data indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component in this configuration. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings shows a 28% performance drop, while the scaling from 1440p to 4K at Low settings shows a 37% drop. This non-linear scaling behavior is typical of a GPU that is running into memory bandwidth or pixel throughput constraints at higher resolutions. The RTX 5050 has a pixel rate of 82.30 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 205.8 GTexel/s, which are modest figures for a modern graphics card.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 combination ranks 2286 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the configuration in the lower half of all tested systems, which is somewhat surprising given the individual component specifications. The CPU itself sits at the 79th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 66th percentile against all GPUs. The gap between component percentiles and the combo's in-game rank suggests that Undisputed is particularly demanding on the GPU.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its performance. The Intel Core i5-12600K has an identical average benchmark score of 27578, showing a 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 scores 27535, which is 0.2% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X scores 27636, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H scores 27507, which is 0.3% lower. These tiny deltas indicate that the Ryzen 7 5700X is extremely well-matched against its direct competitors in synthetic benchmarks, but the in-game rank suggests that raw CPU compute is not the deciding factor in Undisputed.

The GPU's nearest rivals paint a more interesting picture. The AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL has an average score of 21153, which is 0.6% higher than the RTX 5050's 21035. The AMD Radeon HD 8970M scores 21237, which is 1% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT scores 20713, which is 1.6% lower. The NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile scores 21379, which is 1.6% higher. These are all older or lower-tier GPUs, indicating that the RTX 5050 sits in a competitive but not dominant position in the GPU landscape.

The combo's rank of 2286 out of 3718 means it outperforms roughly 38% of tested configurations. In a game like Undisputed, which is a sports title with relatively modest system requirements compared to AAA shooters, this rank suggests the configuration is adequate for mainstream play but not optimized for the highest settings. The measured FPS data confirms this interpretation, as the system can handle 4K Medium comfortably but struggles with 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide solid fundamentals for gaming workloads. The 7 nm process node from TSMC and 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die indicate a mature and efficient design.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5700X performs strongly. It scores 6858 in 3DMark with 16 threads and 6850 with maximum threads, showing good scaling across cores. The single-thread score of 921 and 2-thread score of 1821 are more modest, indicating that the CPU's single-core performance is not its primary strength. In Cinebench R23, it scores 13184 multicore and 1499 singlecore. In Geekbench, it scores 10779 multicore and 2016 singlecore. These numbers place the CPU at the 79th percentile against all CPUs, meaning it outperforms roughly 79% of processors in the database.

For Undisputed specifically, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU. At 1080p Low, the system produces 241 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed frames at a high rate without becoming a bottleneck. The difference between 1080p Low (241 FPS) and 1440p Low (174 FPS) is 28%, which indicates GPU scaling rather than CPU limitation. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample headroom for the game's physics and AI calculations, which are typically not the primary bottleneck in sports titles.

The nearest rival comparison shows that the Ryzen 7 5700X is essentially tied with its closest competitors in synthetic benchmarks. The Intel Core i5-12600K has an identical average score, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 is only 0.2% behind. This suggests that the CPU choice has minimal impact on the overall combo ranking in Undisputed. The game's performance is more heavily influenced by the GPU, as evidenced by the significant FPS drops when moving from 1080p to 4K.
