Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Undisputed, with the data showing that the pair scales predictably across resolutions and settings. The measured frames per second reveal a system that is rarely the limiting factor, even at 4K, making this a formidable setup for the boxing title.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K produces a significant but controlled drop in frame rate, indicating a shift in the bottleneck from the CPU to the GPU as pixel count increases. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 214 FPS at 1920x1080 to 154 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 60 FPS. Moving to 3840x2160, the average drops further to 98 FPS. This scaling pattern shows a 55% decrease in performance from 1080p to 4K, which is typical for a game that becomes more graphically demanding at higher resolutions.

The Low preset shows the most extreme scaling behavior. At 1080p, the system achieves an average of 359 FPS, which drops to 259 FPS at 1440p and then to 164 FPS at 4K. The massive 195 FPS gap between 1080p and 4K at Low settings suggests that at lower resolutions, the CPU is doing most of the heavy lifting, while the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution increases.

Medium settings provide a middle ground with 258 FPS at 1080p, 187 FPS at 1440p, and 118 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1440p to 4K here shows a 69 FPS drop, which is proportionally larger than the drop from 1080p to 1440p. This indicates that the RTX 3080's 10 GB of memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed harder at 4K Medium, though the average of 118 FPS remains well above playable thresholds.

Ultra settings produce the steepest resolution scaling curve. The average frame rate starts at 137 FPS at 1080p, declines to 99 FPS at 1440p, and bottoms out at 63 FPS at 4K. The 74 FPS difference between 1080p and 4K on Ultra is the largest absolute drop across all presets, confirming that the Ultra preset is heavily GPU-bound and exposes the RTX 3080's limitations at 4K.

The data indicates that the limiting component changes with resolution. At 1080p, the high frame rates across all presets suggest the CPU is keeping pace easily, with the 8-core Ryzen 7 5800XT providing ample headroom. At 4K, the GPU's workload becomes the dominant factor, as evidenced by the larger performance deltas between presets at that resolution. The system is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but 4K Ultra is the only scenario where the combination struggles to maintain high averages.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, built on the Ampere architecture with a GA102 chip, plays a critical role in determining the visual fidelity and frame rates in Undisputed. The card's 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s, which is sufficient for most settings at 1440p but becomes strained at 4K Ultra. The measured FPS data supports this, showing that the GPU's memory subsystem is a key factor in the performance drop from 118 FPS at 4K Medium to 63 FPS at 4K Ultra.

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 1440 MHz and a boost of 1710 MHz, are modest for a high-end card, but the 8704 shading units and 272 texture mapping units compensate by offering massive parallel processing power. The card achieves a pixel rate of 164.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 465.1 GTexel/s, which are the primary drivers of the high frame rates seen at 1080p and 1440p. The FP32 performance of 29.77 TFLOPS ensures that the card can handle the physics and hit detection calculations in Undisputed without becoming a bottleneck.

The RTX 3080's ray tracing capabilities, with 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores, are not the focus of this sports title, but the DirectX 12 Ultimate support ensures compatibility with modern rendering paths. The card's benchmark results show a percentile ranking of 68 among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23172. In the context of Undisputed, the GPU's performance is more than adequate, as evidenced by the 98 FPS average at 4K High, which is a demanding setting for most hardware.

The GPU's role becomes most apparent when comparing the Ultra preset across resolutions. The 137 FPS at 1080p Ultra drops to 63 FPS at 4K Ultra, a 54% reduction. This performance cliff is caused by the combination of the 320-bit memory bus and the 10 GB VRAM capacity, which are taxed heavily by the higher texture and shading loads at 4K. The data suggests that while the RTX 3080 is a capable GPU for Undisputed, its memory configuration is the limiting factor at the highest resolution and quality settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides a strong foundation for Undisputed's gameplay. The CPU's Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, offering the single-thread performance needed for game logic and the multi-thread capability for background tasks. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache is particularly beneficial for a sports title like Undisputed, where repeated access to player and physics data is common.

The CPU's benchmark scores indicate a balanced performer. In Cinebench R23, it achieves a multi-core score of 23794 and a single-core score of 3359, which places it in the 81st percentile among all CPUs. The nearest rivals show a tight grouping, with the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H matching the 5800XT's average score with a deltaPct of 0, while the Ryzen 7 8845HS and Ryzen 7 7840HS are both about 0.3% behind. This indicates that the 5800XT is competitive with newer mobile processors, though it is a desktop part with a 105 W TDP.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low settings, where the system achieves 359 FPS. This high frame rate is only possible if the CPU can feed the GPU with enough draw calls and game state updates. The 5800XT's 3.80 GHz base clock and 4.80 GHz boost clock provide the necessary responsiveness, and the 16 threads ensure that the game's simulation threads are never starved. The PassMark multi-thread score of 28053 further supports this, showing strong parallel processing capability.

The CPU's memory support for DDR4 with a dual-channel bus and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is sufficient for the game's needs, though it is not as fast as newer DDR5 platforms. However, the benchmark results show that this does not create a bottleneck in Undisputed, as the frame rates scale consistently with GPU load. The 3DMark scores, particularly the 7683 in the 16-thread test and 959 in the single-thread test, confirm that the CPU can handle both heavily threaded and lightly threaded workloads without issue.

Comparing the CPU's performance to its rivals, the data shows that the 5800XT is a solid choice for this game. The nearest rivals, such as the Ryzen 7 7840H, have similar average scores, meaning that swapping to these parts would yield negligible FPS differences. The 5800XT's advantage lies in its desktop platform, which offers more consistent power delivery and thermal headroom, allowing it to maintain its boost clock of 4.80 GHz under the sustained load that Undisputed can impose during long matches.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which presets offer the best experience in Undisputed for this hardware combination. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, but the Medium preset stands out as the sweet spot. The average frame rate of 258 FPS with a minimum of 219 FPS ensures that there is no perceptible stutter, while the visual quality is noticeably better than Low. The High preset at 214 FPS is also excellent, but the additional visual fidelity of Ultra, which drops to 137 FPS, may not be worth the frame rate sacrifice for competitive play.

At 2560x1440, the High preset offers the best balance. The 154 FPS average is smooth and responsive, while the Medium preset at 187 FPS provides a slight edge in frame rate but with reduced visual effects. The Ultra preset at 99 FPS is still playable, but the minimum frame rates are not recorded, which could indicate occasional dips below 60 FPS. For most players, High at 1440p is the recommended choice, as it maintains high frame rates without compromising the game's appearance.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more nuanced. The Medium preset delivers an average of 118 FPS with a minimum of 100 FPS, which is the only 4K setting that guarantees a smooth experience. The High preset at 98 FPS is also acceptable, but it lacks the minimum frame rate data, making it a slightly riskier choice. The Ultra preset at 63 FPS is not recommended for 4K, as the average frame rate is too close to the 60 FPS threshold to ensure consistency during intense boxing exchanges.

The Low preset at any resolution provides the highest frame rates, but the visual quality suffers significantly. For this reason, the data suggests that Medium at 4K, High at 1440p, and Medium or High at 1080p are the optimal settings. The measured minimum frame rates for Medium across all resolutions (219 FPS at 1080p, 159 FPS at 1440p, and 100 FPS at 4K) indicate that this preset offers the most consistent performance, making it the safest recommendation for players who prioritize smoothness over maximum visual fidelity.
