The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, with measured frame rates ranging from 84 FPS at 4K Ultra to 463 FPS at 1080p Low. The data shows this pairing ranks 344th out of 3718 tested combos, placing it in the top 9.3% of all configurations for this title. The RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and Ada Lovelace architecture provide ample headroom for the boxing simulation's demands, while the Ryzen 7 5700X3D's 3D V-Cache design proves particularly effective at maintaining high minimum frame rates across resolution and settings combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates reveal a clear pattern of GPU-bound performance scaling from 1080p to 4K, though the rate of decline varies significantly depending on the quality preset. At High settings, average FPS drops from 285 at 1080p to 206 at 1440p (a 27.7% reduction) and further to 130 at 4K (a 54.4% reduction from 1080p). This scaling behavior indicates that the RTX 4080 remains the primary limiting component even at 1440p, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom to keep pace.

Low settings exhibit the most extreme resolution scaling, with 463 FPS at 1080p falling to 346 FPS at 1440p (a 25.3% decrease) and 219 FPS at 4K (a 52.7% decrease). The absolute frame rates at 1080p Low suggest that the CPU begins to impose a ceiling around 463 FPS, as the GPU could likely render more frames if the processor allowed. This is consistent with the Ryzen 7 5700X3D's 8-core/16-thread configuration and 4.10 GHz boost clock, which provide solid but not unlimited single-thread performance.

Medium settings show more moderate scaling, with 345 FPS at 1080p dropping to 249 FPS at 1440p (a 27.8% reduction) and 158 FPS at 4K (a 54.2% reduction). The minimum FPS values recorded at Medium settings — 293 at 1080p, 212 at 1440p, and 134 at 4K — demonstrate that frame pacing remains consistent even as resolution increases. Ultra settings follow a similar trajectory: 184 FPS at 1080p, 133 FPS at 1440p (a 27.7% drop), and 84 FPS at 4K (a 54.3% drop from 1080p).

The consistent ~54% reduction from 1080p to 4K across all settings indicates that Undisputed's rendering load scales predictably with pixel count. The RTX 4080's 716.8 GB/s memory bandwidth and 256-bit bus provide sufficient bandwidth to prevent memory-bound behavior at 4K, as evidenced by the playable 84 FPS at Ultra.
