Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER pairing in Undisputed presents a classic study in component balance. The data shows a combo that is undeniably capable, yet its performance ceiling is consistently defined by the graphics card. This analysis breaks down the measured frames to understand where each component dominates and how users can extract the best experience.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. It belongs to the 5000 series and is fabricated on a 7 nm process by TSMC. Its substantial 32 MB of L3 cache and support for DDR4 memory are key characteristics. The processor’s benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15476 and a single-core score of 1574.5, indicate a high level of processing power. This is a desktop-class chip with a TDP of 105 W, designed for serious workloads beyond just gaming.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU’s role appears to be one of a strong, stable foundation rather than a bottleneck. This is a sports game, and the benchmark results suggest that the 5800X provides more than enough headroom to feed the GPU. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 7586 and single-thread score of 943 point to a balanced performance profile that handles both the game’s simulation logic and its rendering threads efficiently. The processor’s performance percentile of 81 versus all CPUs further confirms its position as a high-end part that is unlikely to struggle in this title.

The data suggests that the 5800X is not the limiting factor in this pairing. When comparing the CPU’s average benchmark score of 29123 to its closest rivals, the performance deltas are minimal. For instance, it is only 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and 0.6% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT. These negligible differences in synthetic tests imply that in a game like Undisputed, the CPU’s performance is more than sufficient. The fact that we see a massive frame rate jump from 62 FPS to 105 FPS at 4K when simply dropping from High to Low settings points to the GPU being the primary driver of performance changes, not the CPU. The CPU is doing its job; the GPU is what is being stressed by the visual load.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the clear performance arbiter in this configuration. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. Its architecture is Turing, built on a 12 nm process, with a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz. The GPU also includes 2176 shading units and 64 ROPs, which are critical for pixel output. Its Passmark G3D score of 16462 places it in the 62nd percentile of all GPUs, highlighting it as a solid mid-to-high-range performer from its generation.

The RTX 2060 SUPER’s performance in Undisputed is directly tied to the settings and resolution. The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution and graphical fidelity increase, the frame rate drops significantly. At 1080p with Low settings, the GPU achieves an average of 229 FPS, indicating it can handle the game with extreme ease at lower loads. However, at 4K with Ultra settings, the average plummets to 40 FPS. This dramatic swing in performance is the signature of a GPU that is being pushed to its limits. The 8 GB of VRAM is likely a factor at higher resolutions and settings, as texture data demands increase.

The GPU’s benchmark results reinforce its position as the primary performance limiter. Its average benchmark score of 18093 is close to its rivals, such as the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, which is only 0.4% ahead. This places the RTX 2060 SUPER in a specific performance tier. In Undisputed, this means that while the CPU is ready for high frame rates, the GPU's ability to render frames is what ultimately caps the experience. The measured FPS data is a direct reflection of this, showing that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the component that users must manage through settings to achieve their desired frame rate.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling data provides the clearest evidence of the system’s bottleneck. Moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 at High settings, the average frame rate drops from 136 FPS to 62 FPS. This is a reduction of approximately 54%. The trend is consistent across all settings. At Low settings, the drop is from 229 FPS at 1080p to 105 FPS at 4K, a 54% reduction as well. At Medium settings, the drop is from 165 FPS to 75 FPS, which is a 55% reduction. This consistent percentage drop regardless of the settings preset points directly to the GPU being the limiting component.

If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see a smaller performance delta between 1080p and 1440p, with the gap widening significantly at 4K as the GPU becomes saturated. Instead, the performance scaling is fairly linear and proportional to the pixel count increase. The jump from 1080p to 1440p at High settings sees FPS go from 136 to 99, a 27% drop, while the jump from 1440p to 4K sees FPS go from 99 to 62, a 37% drop. This steeper decline at the higher resolution is a classic sign of the GPU's rendering capabilities and memory bandwidth being overwhelmed.

This data implies that the Ryzen 7 5800X has ample headroom to handle the game’s CPU demands at any resolution. The GPU is the constraining factor, and its performance scales predictably with the number of pixels it must process. For users with high refresh rate monitors, this means that 1080p is the sweet spot for maximum FPS, while 4K will be a more demanding experience that requires lower settings to maintain smooth gameplay. The diminishing returns at 4K, especially at Ultra settings where the average is just 40 FPS, highlight that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal settings depend heavily on the user's resolution and refresh rate target. The data suggests that a balance between visual fidelity and performance is best achieved at the Medium preset. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an average of 165 FPS with a minimum of 140 FPS and a maximum of 190 FPS. This is an excellent result, offering a high frame rate that is well above the 60 FPS threshold, with a smooth frame time variance. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p is from 229 FPS to 165 FPS, a significant drop, but the 165 FPS average is still highly playable and likely represents a better visual experience.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset continues to be a strong choice, providing an average of 119 FPS with a minimum of 101 FPS. This is a very playable frame rate for most monitors and strikes a good balance between detail and speed. The High preset at 1440p offers an average of 99 FPS, which is also acceptable, but the Medium preset’s higher minimum FPS of 101 makes it the safer recommendation for maintaining consistent performance. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 63 FPS, which is playable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, the recommendations change. The Medium preset provides an average of 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS, making it the best option for 4K gaming. The High preset at 4K yields 62 FPS, which is just at the edge of playability. The Low preset at 4K gives 105 FPS, but it likely sacrifices too much visual quality. The Ultra preset at 4K, with its 40 FPS average, is not recommended for a smooth experience. Therefore, for a 4K display, the Medium preset is the clear winner, offering the best combination of visual quality and playable frame rates, while at 1080p and 1440p, Medium offers the most balanced experience without pushing the GPU into its lowest performance tiers.
