Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, with the data showing this combination ranks 59th out of 1580 tested combos. The pairing of AMD's 8-core Zen 3 processor with NVIDIA's flagship Ada Lovelace GPU produces frame rates that are consistently high across all tested resolutions, though the scaling patterns reveal a system that is primarily limited by the CPU at lower resolutions and transitions to a more balanced workload at 4K.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a clear and predictable drop in performance as resolution increases, but the magnitude of that drop reveals important information about the system's bottleneck. At 1080p with Ultra settings, the combo produces 200.5 FPS, which increases to 315.9 FPS at High, 381.3 FPS at Medium, and 464.8 FPS at Low. Moving to 1440p, these figures fall to 150.2 FPS at Ultra, 227.3 FPS at High, 275.7 FPS at Medium, and 386.1 FPS at Low. At 4K, the numbers drop further to 94.7 FPS at Ultra, 143.2 FPS at High, 173 FPS at Medium, and 246.4 FPS at Low.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra settings represents a 25% reduction in average frame rate, while the 1440p to 4K transition at Ultra shows a 37% drop. This pattern suggests that at 1080p, the RTX 4090 is being held back by the Ryzen 7 5700X3D, as the GPU has ample headroom to render more frames. The 4K results, particularly the 143.2 FPS at High and 94.7 FPS at Ultra, indicate that the GPU is finally being pushed closer to its limits, though the CPU still plays a significant role in maintaining these high frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data clearly indicates that Ultra settings provide the most balanced experience for this hardware combination. At 4K Ultra, the combo achieves 94.7 FPS, which is comfortably above the threshold for smooth gameplay in a sports title. The High preset at 4K delivers 143.2 FPS, offering a 51% performance improvement over Ultra while likely sacrificing some visual fidelity that the RTX 4090 is capable of rendering.

For players using 1440p displays, the Ultra preset at 150.2 FPS is the optimal choice, as it provides both high visual quality and frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of most high-end monitors. The Medium preset at 1440p delivers 275.7 FPS, but this comes at a significant visual cost that is unnecessary given the hardware's capabilities. At 1080p, even the Ultra preset at 200.5 FPS is well beyond what most displays can show, meaning players should prioritize visual quality over raw frame rate at this resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. The processor's 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a defining characteristic, and its 3D V-Cache technology proves particularly effective in gaming workloads. The CPU's benchmark scores show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22366 and a single-core score of 3157.

The CPU's impact on Undisputed is most evident when examining the frame rate differences between 1080p and 4K. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 464.8 FPS, which is nearly double the 4K Low result of 246.4 FPS. This massive gap at lower settings indicates that the 5700X3D is capable of feeding the RTX 4090 with an enormous number of frames at lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. The processor's single-thread performance, as measured by its 804 score in 3DMark single-thread tests, is sufficient to keep up with the RTX 4090's output at 4K, though the 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates that faster options exist.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this combination at rank 59 out of 1580 tested combos, placing it in the top 3.7% of all configurations tested. This ranking reflects the strong synergy between the 5700X3D and RTX 4090, with the CPU's gaming-focused cache design complementing the GPU's raw compute power. The combo's performance in Undisputed is particularly impressive given that the CPU's average benchmark score of 24673 places it only 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-1360P and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D in general CPU benchmarks.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 66473 puts it 0.4% behind the NVIDIA Tesla T4 and 0.5% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla P40, though these comparisons are based on synthetic workloads rather than gaming performance. The combination's 59th place ranking out of 1580 configurations indicates that while many other CPU and GPU pairings exist, this specific setup delivers exceptional results in Undisputed that place it firmly in the top tier of tested hardware.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is built on the AD102 chip using the Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring 16384 shading units, 512 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output pipelines. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2235 MHz with a boost clock of 2520 MHz, and its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s. The memory clock runs at 1313 MHz, which translates to 21 Gbps effective.

The GPU's role in Undisputed becomes increasingly important as resolution rises. The 4K Ultra result of 94.7 FPS demonstrates that the RTX 4090 is being pushed hard at the highest settings, while the 1080p Low result of 464.8 FPS shows the GPU's massive headroom when the workload is lighter. The GPU's FP32 performance of 82.58 TFLOPS and its 128 RT cores contribute to the high frame rates observed, with the 91st percentile ranking among all GPUs confirming its position as one of the fastest available. The transition from High to Ultra settings at 4K produces a 34% frame rate drop, from 143.2 FPS to 94.7 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset introduces significant additional rendering load that the GPU must process.
