Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a playable experience in Undisputed, but the data reveals a clear performance hierarchy that shifts depending on resolution and settings. The measured FPS values show a system that is capable of high refresh rates at lower resolutions, yet becomes increasingly constrained as pixel count and graphical fidelity rise. This analysis breaks down the benchmark results, contextualizes the combo's standing, and examines the individual roles of the CPU and GPU in shaping the final output.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 226.9 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops this to 166.4 FPS, a reduction of roughly 26.7%. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls further to 104.2 FPS, representing a 54.1% decrease from the 1080p figure. This steep scaling curve is typical of a GPU-limited scenario at higher resolutions.

When settings are raised to Ultra, the pattern becomes even more pronounced. The 1080p Ultra average is 88.8 FPS, which falls to 66.1 FPS at 1440p and then plummets to 40 FPS at 4K. The gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution is substantial: at 1080p, Low is 138.1 FPS higher than Ultra; at 1440p, the difference is 100.3 FPS; and at 4K, it is 64.2 FPS. The data shows that the GPU’s rendering load increases faster than the resolution scaling, indicating that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary limiter in this pairing.

The scaling between 1440p and 4K is particularly aggressive. For High settings, the drop from 98.1 FPS to 61.9 FPS is a 36.9% reduction. Medium settings see a similar trend, going from 116.9 FPS to 78.7 FPS, a 32.7% decline. These numbers suggest that while the CPU can keep up at lower resolutions, the GPU’s pixel throughput and memory bandwidth become the decisive factors as the resolution increases. The RTX 2060 SUPER’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p but are challenged by the demands of 4K rendering.

How This Combo Ranks

Among the 1,580 tested combos for Undisputed, this pairing holds the 1141st position. Ranking in the bottom 28% of all tested systems indicates that while the combination is functional, it is not competitive with the majority of other hardware pairings in this game. The rank reflects the overall average performance across all settings and resolutions, which is dragged down by the low 4K Ultra result of 40 FPS and the relatively modest 1080p High score of 137.6 FPS.

The combo’s percentile standing is not directly given for the game itself, but the individual components provide context. The CPU sits in the 86th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU is in the 63rd percentile against all GPUs. The disparity between these two figures suggests that the CPU is capable of more than the GPU can deliver in this title. The combo rank of 1141 out of 1580 implies that many other systems, likely with more powerful graphics cards, achieve higher average frame rates. This pairing is not a top-tier performer, but it avoids being among the lowest-ranked combinations, landing in a middle-to-lower tier.

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU offer additional perspective. The Ryzen 7 5800XT is nearly identical in average benchmark score to the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE (0.1% difference) and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS (-0.3% difference). For the GPU, the RTX 2060 SUPER is within 0.5% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070’s average score. These close margins suggest that swapping in a slightly different CPU or GPU would not drastically alter the combo’s ranking, reinforcing that the overall position is determined by the combination’s collective performance rather than a single weak link.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a Zen 3 architecture processor based on the Vermeer codename, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 32 MB L3 cache. With a TDP of 105 W and support for DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, the processor is designed for desktop workloads.

In Undisputed, a sports game, the CPU’s role is primarily to manage game logic, physics, and frame pacing. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration is more than sufficient for the demands of this title, as indicated by the CPU’s high percentile ranking. Benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23,794 and a Passmark multithread score of 27,988. Single-thread performance is also respectable, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,359.

The data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 226.9 FPS, which is a high enough frame rate that the CPU must be feeding the GPU efficiently. However, as resolution increases and the GPU becomes the bottleneck, the CPU’s workload relative to the GPU decreases. The CPU’s 16 threads and high boost clock ensure that it does not introduce stuttering or frame drops even when the GPU is maxed out. The 32 MB L3 cache helps with data locality, which is beneficial for maintaining consistent frame times in a fast-paced sports simulation.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data provides a full matrix of average FPS across four resolutions and four settings. At 3840x2160, the Ultra setting yields an average of 40 FPS, which is the lowest measured value and indicates a borderline playable experience. High at 4K produces 61.9 FPS, Medium reaches 78.7 FPS, and Low achieves 104.2 FPS. The jump from Ultra to Low at 4K is a 64.2 FPS improvement, showing that reducing settings has a significant impact on performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the results are more comfortable. Ultra averages 66.1 FPS, High reaches 98.1 FPS, Medium hits 116.9 FPS, and Low tops out at 166.4 FPS. The difference between Ultra and Low is 100.3 FPS, and even Ultra is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. For 1920x1080, the system excels. Low produces an average of 226.9 FPS, Medium 165.7 FPS, High 137.6 FPS, and Ultra 88.8 FPS. The 1080p Ultra result of 88.8 FPS is the only sub-100 FPS result at this resolution, and it remains well above playable standards.

The progression across settings is consistent. At each resolution, Low is faster than Medium, which is faster than High, which is faster than Ultra. The scaling factor varies, but the pattern holds. The largest gap between consecutive settings is between Low and Medium at 1080p, which is a 61.2 FPS difference. The smallest gap is between High and Ultra at 4K, which is a 21.9 FPS difference. This suggests that the GPU’s architectural features, such as its 2,176 shading units and 64 ROPs, have diminishing returns as settings increase.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is based on the TU106 chip and uses the Turing architecture, manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It has 2,176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz. It includes 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores, providing hardware support for ray tracing and AI-based features. The memory subsystem consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s.

In this game, the GPU is the dominant performance driver. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU’s rendering capabilities are the primary constraint, especially at higher resolutions and settings. The 4K Ultra result of 40 FPS is directly tied to the GPU’s pixel fill rate of 105.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 224.4 GTexel/s. These metrics are not sufficient to maintain high frame rates at 4K with maximum detail. The GPU’s 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is adequate for 1080p and 1440p but falls short at 4K.

The GPU’s 8 GB of VRAM is another factor. While it is not a limiting issue at 1080p, where the game likely uses less memory, the higher resolution textures at 4K could approach the 8 GB capacity. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for most scenarios, but the 4K Ultra result suggests that the memory subsystem is being pushed. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 63% against all GPUs indicates it is a mid-range part, and the measured FPS reflects this. The 175 W TDP and dual-slot design are reasonable for the performance on offer, but the end-of-life production status means it is an older design that newer GPUs will outclass.
