Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, a sports title that clearly favors high refresh rates. The measured data shows this combination is capable of obliterating even the most demanding settings at 4K, while at lower resolutions it pushes frame rates into territory where the display, rather than the hardware, becomes the limiting factor. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS data, the combo’s standing relative to other tested configurations, and the GPU’s specific characteristics that drive these results.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling behavior from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that transitions from being heavily CPU-bound at lower resolutions to becoming increasingly GPU-bound as pixel count rises. At the Low preset, the average frame rate drops from 479 FPS at 1920x1080 to 346 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 133 FPS, and then down to 219 FPS at 3840x2160. This steep decline at Low settings is a classic indicator of a CPU bottleneck at 1080p. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, can feed frames faster than the RTX 4080 can render them at that resolution, but the GPU’s workload scales directly with resolution, which is why the gap narrows as resolution increases.

At the Ultra preset, the trend is more linear and shows a much tighter coupling between resolution and performance. The average FPS moves from 184 at 1080p to 133 at 1440p, and then down to 84 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is roughly 54%, which is a far smaller relative decline than the 54% drop seen at Low settings. This indicates that at Ultra, the RTX 4080 is the primary limiting component, and the CPU headroom is less of a factor. The data suggests that players using high-refresh 1080p monitors will be limited by the CPU in lighter settings, while those at 4K will be fully utilizing the GPU’s capabilities.

The Medium preset shows a similar pattern to Low, but with less extreme absolute numbers. The average FPS at 1080p is 345, dropping to 249 at 1440p, and then to 158 at 4K. The 4K figure is still far above playable thresholds, indicating that even at this mid-range setting, the RTX 4080 has ample headroom. The High preset, which is often the sweet spot for many titles, shows averages of 285 FPS at 1080p, 206 at 1440p, and 130 at 4K. The scaling here is consistent, with each resolution step costing roughly 25-30% performance, which points to a well-balanced load between the CPU and GPU at this setting.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested hardware, this specific pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 holds a rank of 246 out of 3718 combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 7% of all configurations tested, which is a strong result, though not the absolute top tier. The high rank is expected given the components involved, but it is not the best possible score, suggesting that other combos with newer or more powerful parts can edge it out.

Looking at the CPU’s individual standing, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has an average benchmark score of 27896, placing it in the 80th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals show how tightly contested this performance tier is. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800U scores 27887, a delta of 0%, making it a statistical tie. The Intel Core i9-10900K scores 27872, just 0.1% behind. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 scores 27932, which is 0.1% ahead, and the Intel Core i5-12600KF scores 27799, 0.3% behind. These negligible deltas indicate that in this game, the 5800X3D’s performance is effectively equivalent to several other high-end processors, and the ranking is likely determined more by the GPU pairing than the CPU alone.

For the GPU, the RTX 4080 has an average benchmark score of 54247, placing it in the 86th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the RTX 4080 SUPER with a score of 54209 (0.1% ahead), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X with 54828 (1.1% ahead), the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB with 55698 (2.6% ahead), and the AMD Radeon 8060S with 55757 (2.7% ahead). The fact that several GPUs score higher in synthetic benchmarks suggests that the RTX 4080 is not the absolute fastest, but in Undisputed specifically, the measured FPS data shows it performs exceptionally well. The combo’s rank of 246 likely reflects that while this GPU is powerful, it is not the top dog, and the 5800X3D, while excellent for gaming, is not the fastest CPU either.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is a critical component in this combo, and its specifications directly explain the measured frame rates. It comes with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. For a game like Undisputed, which is a sports title with detailed character models and arenas, this memory configuration is more than sufficient, and the data suggests that VRAM capacity is not a bottleneck at any of the tested resolutions or settings.

The GPU’s clock speeds are also a key factor. It has a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz. The memory operates at 1400 MHz, which translates to 22.4 Gbps effective. These clocks, combined with 9728 shading units, allow the card to achieve a pixel rate of 280.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 761.5 GTexel/s. These figures are high enough to handle the 4K Ultra workload, which produces an average of 84 FPS, without issue. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 48.74 TFLOPS is also a strong indicator of its raw compute capability, which is necessary for the physics and AI calculations in a boxing game.

The RTX 4080’s position relative to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks is interesting. It scores 54247 on average, which is slightly lower than the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698) and the AMD Radeon 8060S (55757). However, in Undisputed, the measured results show that this combo achieves 130 FPS at 4K High and 84 FPS at 4K Ultra. This implies that the RTX 4080’s architecture, with its 76 RT cores and 304 Tensor cores, is well-optimized for this specific title. The 16 GB of VRAM is also a significant advantage, as it ensures that even at 4K Ultra, there is no risk of running out of memory, which can cause stuttering or frame drops in other games.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear choice. With an average of 184 FPS, it provides a massive performance buffer for high-refresh monitors (240Hz or higher). The High preset at 1080p is also viable, but it only serves to increase the frame rate to 285 FPS, which is beyond the capabilities of most displays. The Low and Medium presets at this resolution are essentially pointless, as they push the average above 345 FPS, which is a scenario where the CPU is the limiting factor and the visual quality is unnecessarily compromised.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the recommended starting point. It delivers 206 FPS on average, which is perfect for 144Hz or 165Hz monitors. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 133 FPS, which is still playable but less ideal for competitive play. The Medium preset at 249 FPS is overkill, and the Low preset at 346 FPS is again limited by the CPU. For a balance of visual fidelity and smoothness, High is the sweet spot.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is the best option for maintaining high refresh rates. With an average of 130 FPS, it is more than enough for a 120Hz 4K display, and it offers better visual quality than the Medium preset (158 FPS) without the significant performance cost of Ultra (84 FPS). The Ultra preset at 4K is the most demanding, but the 84 FPS average is still above the 60 FPS standard, making it a viable option for players who prioritize image quality over maximum frame rates. The Low preset at 4K (219 FPS) is not recommended, as it defeats the purpose of having a high-resolution display.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how this combo performs across all settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are as follows: Low preset produces 479 FPS, Medium produces 345 FPS, High produces 285 FPS, and Ultra produces 184 FPS. The Medium preset also has recorded minimum and maximum values of 293 and 396 FPS, respectively, indicating some variance but no severe dips. These numbers show that at 1080p, the game is limited by the CPU in lower settings, but the GPU can still handle Ultra well above 144 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates are: Low preset at 346 FPS, Medium at 249 FPS, High at 206 FPS, and Ultra at 133 FPS. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 212 FPS and a maximum of 286 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra only costs 51 FPS (from 184 to 133), which is a manageable drop. This indicates that the RTX 4080 has enough headroom at this resolution to handle the increased pixel count without a dramatic performance penalty.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are: Low preset at 219 FPS, Medium at 158 FPS, High at 130 FPS, and Ultra at 84 FPS. The Medium preset has a minimum of 134 FPS and a maximum of 181 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra at 4K is significant, going from 130 FPS to 84 FPS, which represents a 46 FPS reduction. This shows that the Ultra preset is particularly demanding at 4K, but the resulting 84 FPS average is still well within the playable range for most users. The Low preset at 219 FPS demonstrates that even at 4K, the combo has substantial performance reserves when visual settings are lowered.
