Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, while 4K Ultra remains the only setting where the combination falls below the 60 FPS threshold. The data indicates a system that is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions, with the CPU’s 8-core/16-thread configuration providing ample headroom for the game’s physics and simulation demands.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, with the most dramatic drop occurring at the highest visual settings. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 results in a 92.2 FPS reduction (from 325.4 to 233.2), and moving to 3840x2160 further reduces the average to 151. This represents a 53.6% decrease in performance from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that even at the lowest graphical load, the GPU is the primary limiting factor.

The scaling becomes more severe at Ultra settings, where the frame rate drops from 123.2 at 1080p to 91 at 1440p, and then plummets to 54.3 at 4K. This 55.9% performance loss from 1440p to 4K at Ultra suggests that the RTX 3070 Ti’s 8 GB of VRAM and 256-bit memory bus are being saturated by the higher resolution’s pixel count and texture demands. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is particularly telling: 151 FPS versus 54.3 FPS, a difference of 96.7 FPS, which shows that the game’s higher settings introduce rendering effects that disproportionately tax the GPU.

At 1080p, the scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 202.2 FPS spread, with Medium delivering 232.3 and High at 195.1. This wide margin at the lowest resolution suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck, as the 5800XT can feed the GPU effectively even at 325.4 FPS on Low. The 4K data reinforces this interpretation: the 89.6 FPS at High settings versus 108 at Medium highlights how quickly the GPU’s resources are consumed by the resolution increase, independent of the CPU’s capabilities.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5800XT’s 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, provide a solid foundation for Undisputed’s sports simulation mechanics. The CPU’s benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794 and a single-core score of 3359, indicate strong per-thread performance that is critical for the game’s physics and AI calculations. The 32 MB of L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for maintaining consistent frame pacing in gameplay.

The data shows that the CPU is not the limiting component in this combination. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 325.4 FPS, which far exceeds the refresh rates of most displays, indicating that the CPU has significant headroom. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly the bottleneck at 54.3 FPS, the CPU’s 3DMark single-thread score of 959 suggests it can handle the game’s logical threads without becoming a constraint. The processor’s 105 W TDP and PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 lanes provide a capable platform for the RTX 3070 Ti’s PCIe 4.0 x16 interface.

The 5800XT’s core configuration is well-suited for a sports title like Undisputed, which typically benefits from multiple cores for crowd simulation and physics. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7683 versus the 2-thread score of 1879 shows strong scaling across cores, and the PassMark multithread score of 27988 confirms the CPU’s ability to handle parallel workloads. However, the benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the dominant factor in determining frame rates across all measured settings, as the CPU’s performance remains consistent regardless of resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5800XT and RTX 3070 Ti ranks 632 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 60th percentile of all tested configurations. This ranking reflects a balanced pairing where the CPU’s strengths complement the GPU’s capabilities, though the GPU’s 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs is notably higher than the combo’s overall position. The CPU’s 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs suggests that the processor is more capable than the GPU relative to their respective product pools.

The ranking data shows that this combo outperforms 948 other tested combinations, but falls short of the top 631. This position indicates that while the RTX 3070 Ti offers solid performance, it is not the fastest GPU available, and the combo’s rank is likely limited by the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM capacity at higher resolutions. The CPU’s nearest rivals, including the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE with a 0.1% delta and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 with a 0.3% delta, show that the 5800XT performs comparably to other mid-range processors, but this does not translate into a top-tier combo ranking because the GPU is the more restrictive component.

The gap between the CPU’s high percentile (86) and the combo’s lower rank (632/1580) suggests that pairing the 5800XT with a more powerful GPU would yield a significantly higher combo ranking. Conversely, the GPU’s nearest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon RX 6700 with a -0.8% delta and the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 with a -0.9% delta, indicate that the RTX 3070 Ti performs similarly to other upper-midrange cards, but the combo’s rank is still constrained by the GPU’s absolute performance levels.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 3070 Ti delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 325.4 FPS, Medium achieves 232.3 FPS, High reaches 195.1 FPS, and Ultra maintains a strong 123.2 FPS. These figures show that the combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p, with even the most demanding settings keeping the frame rate well above 120 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 62.1% performance drop, which is substantial but expected given the increased rendering load.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains excellent but begins to show the GPU’s limits. Low settings deliver 233.2 FPS, which is still remarkably high, while Medium produces 171.6 FPS. High settings achieve 137.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 91 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is notable because it stays above the 90 FPS threshold, providing a smooth experience for most users. The performance gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 142.2 FPS, indicating that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are increasingly strained as settings increase.

At 3840x2160, the combo’s performance falls sharply, particularly at higher settings. Low settings still manage 151 FPS, which is impressive for 4K, but Medium drops to 108 FPS, and High falls to 89.6 FPS. Ultra is the only setting that fails to reach 60 FPS, averaging 54.3 FPS. This 4K Ultra result is 64.2% lower than the 1080p Ultra score, demonstrating the GPU’s inability to sustain high frame rates at this resolution with maximum visual fidelity. The 4K Low result of 151 FPS shows that the GPU has enough raw power for 4K at reduced settings, but the Ultra preset’s additional effects overwhelm its capabilities.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, built on the Ampere architecture with the GA104 chip, plays the dominant role in determining this combo’s performance in Undisputed. The GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s, which is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming but becomes a limiting factor at 4K with high textures. The 6144 shading units and 192 texture mapping units give the card substantial compute power, evidenced by its FP32 performance of 21.75 TFLOPS.

The GPU’s benchmark results show a PassMark G3D score of 23356, placing it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME with a 0.3% delta and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 with a -0.8% delta, indicating that the RTX 3070 Ti performs in the same league as these competitors. However, the GPU’s average benchmark score of 30849 is not reflected in the game’s 4K Ultra performance, where the 54.3 FPS result suggests that the card’s 8 GB VRAM is being fully utilized.

The RTX 3070 Ti’s boost clock of 1770 MHz and its 48 ray tracing cores contribute to the game’s visual effects, but the data shows that the GPU’s rasterization performance is the primary driver of frame rates. The 169.9 GPixel/s pixel rate and 339.8 GTexel/s texture rate are adequate for the game’s demands, but the 4K Ultra result of 54.3 FPS indicates that the card’s memory bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s is insufficient to maintain higher frame rates at that resolution and settings combination. The GPU’s 290 W TDP and suggested 600 W PSU requirement are consistent with its performance class, and the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface ensures it can communicate effectively with the 5800XT. The card’s 10.5-inch length and dual-slot design are standard for its tier, and its DirectX 12 Ultimate support ensures compatibility with modern game features. Overall, the RTX 3070 Ti is the performance limiter in this combo at 4K Ultra, while the CPU provides ample support at all other tested configurations.
