Undisputed

# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers a formidable 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, with frame rates that far exceed display refresh rate demands at most settings. The data shows a combination that is heavily GPU-limited at lower resolutions, with the RTX 5080's raw throughput pushing past 460 FPS at 1080p Low, while the 4K Ultra preset still maintains a playable 87 FPS average. This pairing ranks in the 94th percentile of all tested combos for this title, placing it among the elite configurations for the boxing sim.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a classic resolution scaling curve, where frame rates decline steadily as pixel count increases, but the rate of decline varies dramatically by settings preset. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 22.5% (from 463 to 359 FPS), and the further drop to 4K is another 36.8% (from 359 to 227 FPS). This steep decline indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is doing substantial work, though the absolute numbers remain extraordinarily high.

At High settings, the scaling is more aggressive percentage-wise. The 1080p average of 296 FPS falls to 214 FPS at 1440p — a 27.7% reduction — and then to 135 FPS at 4K, another 36.9% drop. The 4K High result represents a 54.4% reduction from the 1080p High figure, showing that the RTX 5080's 960.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 56.28 TFLOPS of compute are being taxed heavily as resolution climbs.

Medium settings show the most consistent scaling pattern. Starting at 357 FPS at 1080p, the average drops to 258 FPS at 1440p (27.7% lower) and then to 163 FPS at 4K (36.8% lower than 1440p). This linear progression suggests a balanced workload distribution between CPU and GPU at Medium settings. The minimum FPS figures at Medium tell an important story: at 1080p the min is 304 FPS, at 1440p it is 219 FPS, and at 4K it is 139 FPS, with each resolution showing roughly a 27-28% drop in minimums as well.

Ultra settings produce the steepest resolution penalty. The 1080p Ultra average of 190 FPS drops to 137 FPS at 1440p — a 27.9% reduction — and then plummets to 87 FPS at 4K, a further 36.5% decline. The 4K Ultra result is 54.2% below the 1080p Ultra number, nearly identical to the High preset's resolution scaling. This indicates that Ultra and High presets impose similar relative GPU loads across resolutions, with the absolute difference being roughly 55 FPS at each resolution.

The data suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the Ryzen 7 5700X3D's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to feed the RTX 5080 at all but the lowest settings. The 1080p Low result of 463 FPS approaches the practical ceiling for even this strong CPU, and the 22.5% drop to 1440p Low indicates the GPU is becoming the primary limiter. At 4K, the GPU is unquestionably the bottleneck across all presets, as evidenced by the consistent 36-37% scaling penalties between 1440p and 4K.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications explain the measured performance levels. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2617 MHz, built on TSMC's 5 nm process with 45,600 million transistors. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves critical for maintaining high frame rates at 4K resolutions.

The RTX 5080's memory configuration is particularly relevant to Undisputed's results. At 4K Ultra, the GPU maintains 87 FPS average, which suggests the 16 GB frame buffer is adequate for the game's highest preset without hitting capacity limits. The 112 ROPs and 336 TMUs provide the pixel and texture throughput needed for the boxing game's character models and arena environments. The 84 RT cores and 336 tensor cores are present but likely underutilized in this title, as Undisputed is not a ray-tracing showcase.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 56083. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 8060S, scores 55757 — a 0.6% delta — while the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE scores 57367, putting the RTX 5080 2.2% behind that card in synthetic tests. Despite this, the measured game performance shows the RTX 5080 delivering exceptional results in Undisputed, with 4K High hitting 135 FPS and 1080p High reaching 296 FPS.

The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility ensure the card is fully optimized for modern game engines. The 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 879.3 GTexel/s texture rate are the key specifications driving the high frame rates seen at lower resolutions. The pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s helps explain why 4K performance remains respectable, as the card can fill 4K frames faster than most competitors.

The RTX 5080's 360 W TDP and 750 W suggested PSU requirement indicate this is a power-hungry card, but the performance payoff is clear in the data. At 1080p Low, the GPU pushes 463 FPS, which is a 143% improvement over the 4K Ultra result of 87 FPS. This wide performance envelope gives users substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p and 1440p.

The Medium preset at 163 FPS is also viable for competitive play, offering a 20.7% boost over High while keeping the visual experience acceptable.

For 1440p monitors with 144Hz refresh rates, the High preset at 214 FPS provides excellent headroom and smooth gameplay. Ultra at 137 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing visual fidelity, as it exceeds the 144Hz threshold. The Medium preset at 258 FPS is overkill for most displays but ensures maximum frame consistency.

For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 190 FPS is the recommended choice, as it provides the best visual quality while still delivering frame rates well above any current display's refresh rate. The High preset at 296 FPS is unnecessary unless using a 360Hz monitor. The Low preset's 463 FPS result is technically the highest possible but sacrifices too much visual quality for a marginal competitive advantage.

The data suggests that the RTX 5080 is powerful enough to run Undisputed at maximum settings on 1080p and 1440p displays without compromise. For 4K, the High preset strikes the best balance between visual quality and performance, with Medium as a strong alternative for those who prioritize frame rate above all else. The Ultra preset at 4K remains playable at 87 FPS but may not suit players accustomed to triple-digit frame rates.
