The data shows a clear performance ceiling driven by the GPU at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s strong multi-threaded capabilities ensure consistent frame pacing at lower settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1722 out of 2813 tested combos indicates that it sits slightly below the median in the database, but this is not a negative indictment for Undisputed. The game is a sports simulation, not a graphically intense AAA shooter, so the ranking reflects a balance between CPU and GPU capabilities that yields playable, though not exceptional, frame rates. The CPU itself holds a percentile of 77 against all CPUs, meaning it outperforms 77% of processors in general benchmarks. However, its average benchmark score of 24709 places it nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D (24728, delta of -0.1%), and just behind the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX (24822, -0.5%). The Intel Core i5-12450HX is a close rival at 24576 (+0.5%), with the Intel Core i5-11600 trailing at 24563 (+0.6%).

For the GPU, the RTX 5050 has a percentile of 66 against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21035. Its nearest rivals reveal a mixed bag: the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL scores 21153 (-0.6%), the AMD Radeon HD 8970M scores 21237 (-1%), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT scores 20713 (+1.6%), and the NVIDIA RTX A4000 Mobile scores 21379 (-1.6%). This suggests the RTX 5050 is a capable entry-level card, but it is not a high-end performer. In Undisputed, the combo’s rank indicates that many other systems will deliver higher frame rates, particularly at 4K Ultra, where the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The CPU’s high percentile does not translate into top-tier gaming performance because the game’s demands scale more with graphical load than with CPU threading.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed reveals how the combo scales across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the average FPS is 241, which drops to 174 at 1440p (a 27.8% decrease) and further to 110 at 4K (a 36.8% decrease from 1440p). This steep decline at 4K indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the CPU’s strong multi-threading (16 threads) should handle the game’s logic without bottlenecks. At High settings, the scaling is similar: 144 FPS at 1080p, 104 FPS at 1440p (a 27.8% drop), and 66 FPS at 4K (a 36.5% drop). The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the game’s rendering load scales linearly with pixel count, but the RTX 5050’s 8 GB VRAM and 320.0 GB/s bandwidth struggle to keep up at 4K.

At Medium settings, the frame rates are 173 FPS at 1080p, 125 FPS at 1440p (a 27.7% drop), and 79 FPS at 4K (a 36.8% drop). The min FPS values at 1080p (147) and 1440p (107) remain high, but at 4K, the min FPS is 67, indicating occasional dips that could affect gameplay smoothness. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling: 92 FPS at 1080p, 67 FPS at 1440p (a 27.2% drop), and 42 FPS at 4K (a 37.3% drop). This pattern confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck, as the CPU’s performance (e.g., Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22366) would not degrade with resolution. The 4K Ultra result of 42 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play, making this resolution and setting combination unsuitable for competitive or fluid gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers high frame rates across all settings. Low settings average 241 FPS, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors, while Medium averages 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 200 FPS. High settings average 144 FPS, and Ultra drops to 92 FPS. This resolution is clearly the sweet spot, as even Ultra settings remain above 60 FPS, ensuring a playable experience.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but begins to show the GPU’s limitations. Low averages 174 FPS, Medium averages 125 FPS (min 107, max 144), High averages 104 FPS, and Ultra averages 67 FPS. The Ultra preset’s 67 FPS is still above 60, but the margins are thinner, and the min FPS for Medium (107) suggests that frame drops are not a major concern at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the data reveals a significant performance hit. Low averages 110 FPS, Medium averages 79 FPS (min 67, max 91), High averages 66 FPS, and Ultra averages 42 FPS. The Ultra preset’s 42 FPS is well below the 60 FPS target, making it difficult to recommend for competitive play. The Medium preset’s 79 FPS is the best balance at 4K, offering a playable experience with some graphical compromises. The min FPS of 67 at Medium indicates that the combo can maintain reasonable frame pacing, but the Ultra settings clearly overwhelm the RTX 5050.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer) on a 7 nm process node. It features a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.10 GHz, with a 96 MB shared L3 cache. In Undisputed, a sports title that likely relies on physics and AI for player interactions, the CPU’s multi-threaded performance is more than sufficient. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22366 and Geekbench multicore score of 11086 indicate strong parallel processing capabilities, which would prevent CPU bottlenecks even at high frame rates.

However, the game’s performance is not CPU-limited, as evidenced by the FPS scaling across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 241 FPS, which is likely near the CPU’s maximum frame output, but the drop to 174 FPS at 1440p Low is purely GPU-driven. The CPU’s single-thread performance, as shown by the 3dmark_single_thread score of 804 and PassMark single-thread score of 2970, is adequate but not exceptional, meaning it won’t hold back the GPU in most scenarios. The 16 threads ensure that any background tasks or game logic are handled smoothly, but the gaming experience is ultimately dictated by the GPU’s rendering capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and frame rate. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset (173 FPS) offers the best balance between visual quality and performance, as it provides a high frame rate with a minimum of 147 FPS, ensuring no stutters. For players seeking maximum smoothness, Low (241 FPS) is ideal for competitive play, but Medium is recommended for a better visual experience without sacrificing fluidity.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset (125 FPS) is the recommended choice, as it maintains a high average with a minimum of 107 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. High (104 FPS) is also viable, but the marginal difference in quality may not justify the lower frame rate. Ultra (67 FPS) is playable but not recommended for action-heavy moments, as the frame rate can dip closer to 60.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset (79 FPS) is the only recommended option for a smooth experience, as it stays above 60 FPS with a minimum of 67 FPS. Low (110 FPS) is also an option for higher frame rates, but the visual compromise may be noticeable. High (66 FPS) is borderline, and Ultra (42 FPS) should be avoided due to the risk of motion sickness or input lag from low frame rates. For the best overall experience, 1440p Medium offers a great combination of visual fidelity and performance, making it the sweet spot for this combo.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 is the limiting component in this pairing, as evidenced by the FPS scaling across resolutions. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, it offers 320.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming but struggles at 4K. The GPU’s boost clock of 2572 MHz and base clock of 2317 MHz, combined with 2560 shading units, provide a solid foundation for mid-range gaming. Its PassMark G3D score of 17326 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2502 reflect its position in the market, but the nearest rivals show that it is not a high-end performer.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s performance is consistent with its benchmark scores. At 1080p, it easily handles the game’s demands, but at 4K Ultra, the 42 FPS result indicates that the RTX 5050 is overwhelmed by the pixel count and graphical settings. The 8 GB VRAM may also be a factor at 4K, as higher resolutions and texture details require more memory. However, the game is not a VRAM-heavy title, so the bottleneck is more likely the GPU’s compute power (13.17 TFLOPS FP32) rather than memory capacity. The RTX 5050’s 32 ROPs and 80 TMUs are modest for 4K rendering, which explains why the frame rate drops so sharply at higher resolutions. For players with this combo, sticking to 1080p or 1440p will yield the best results, while 4K should be reserved for Medium settings or lower.
