Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers an exceptionally high-performance outcome in Undisputed, with measured frame rates that remain fluid even at maximum settings. The data shows a combination that is heavily GPU-limited at lower resolutions, while the CPU's strong multi-threaded capabilities ensure consistent scaling as graphical load increases.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is typical for a system where the graphics card is the primary bottleneck. At 1080p with High settings, the combo produces 284 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings drops this to 205 FPS, a reduction of approximately 28%. At 4K, the average falls further to 130 FPS, representing a 54% drop from the 1080p figure. This scaling behavior indicates that the RTX 4080 SUPER's rendering throughput is progressively saturated as pixel count rises, while the Ryzen 7 5800XT has ample headroom to feed frames at lower resolutions.

The scaling pattern becomes more pronounced when examining the Low preset. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 476 FPS, which is an exceptional figure that far exceeds display refresh rate capabilities. At 1440p Low, the score drops to 344 FPS (a 28% reduction), and at 4K Low it reaches 218 FPS (a 54% reduction from 1080p). This consistent proportional drop across resolutions suggests that the game's engine is efficiently utilizing the GPU's resources, with the CPU not introducing a significant bottleneck even at the highest frame rates.

The Medium preset provides a useful intermediate data point, with min and max FPS values recorded. At 1080p Medium, the average is 343 FPS with a minimum of 291 FPS and maximum of 394 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 248 FPS (min 211, max 285), and at 4K Medium it settles at 157 FPS (min 133, max 180). The relatively tight min-to-max ranges at each resolution indicate stable frame pacing without severe spikes or drops, which is important for a sports title where smooth animation is critical.

Ultra settings produce the most demanding workload. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 183 FPS, which drops to 132 FPS at 1440p and 83 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra figure of 83 FPS is still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, though it represents a significant 55% reduction from the 1080p Ultra result. This scaling behavior confirms that the limiting component at 4K is the GPU, as the Ryzen 7 5800XT's 8-core/16-thread configuration provides sufficient processing power to keep the frame pipeline full.

The data suggests that the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with 736.3 GB/s bandwidth is well-suited to handle the texture and geometry demands of Undisputed across all resolutions. The transition from 1440p to 4K shows a more substantial relative drop than the 1080p to 1440p transition, indicating that memory bandwidth and pixel throughput become increasingly constrained at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and display refresh rate. For 4K displays, the High preset at 130 FPS provides the best balance between visual fidelity and performance, as it delivers well above the standard 60 Hz refresh rate while maintaining enhanced graphical details. The Ultra preset at 4K yields 83 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 36% performance penalty compared to High. The Medium preset at 4K offers 157 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate 4K displays (144 Hz or higher), though it sacrifices visual quality compared to High.

At 1440p, the High preset at 205 FPS is the recommended choice for users with 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitors, as it exceeds these refresh rates with margin to spare. The Ultra preset at 132 FPS also works well for 144 Hz displays, providing the maximum visual quality while staying above the refresh threshold. For competitive play where maximum frame rates are prioritized, the Low preset at 344 FPS eliminates any possibility of frame rate dips affecting responsiveness, though it reduces visual fidelity significantly.

For 1080p users, the Ultra preset at 183 FPS is the clear recommendation, as it delivers the highest visual quality while still maintaining frame rates that exceed most high-refresh-rate monitors (up to 180 Hz). The Medium preset at 343 FPS is excessive for virtually all displays, and the Low preset at 476 FPS offers no practical benefit unless using a very high refresh rate (360 Hz or above) esports monitor. The data indicates that the system has such substantial performance headroom at 1080p that users should always select the highest settings available.

The Medium preset's recorded min/max values provide additional insight for settings recommendations. At 4K Medium, the minimum of 133 FPS ensures that even during intense gameplay moments with multiple fighters on screen, the frame rate does not dip below a smooth threshold. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 211 FPS guarantees ultra-smooth performance, and at 1080p Medium, the minimum of 291 FPS is exceptionally high. These minimum values suggest that the combination maintains consistent performance without significant stuttering, making the Medium preset a safe choice for users who prioritize frame time consistency over absolute visual quality.

It features a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a 105 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth, and uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform with PCIe Gen 4 (20 lanes from the CPU).

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5800XT demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 23794, while the single-core score is 3359. The PassMark multithread score is 28053, and the single-thread score is 3535. These figures indicate that the CPU has both high single-thread performance for games that rely on fewer threads and substantial multi-thread capability for modern titles that utilize many cores.

For Undisputed specifically, the measured frame rates show that the CPU is not a limiting factor. At 1080p Low, where the GPU workload is lowest, the system achieves 476 FPS. This extreme frame rate would expose CPU bottlenecks if they existed, yet the 8-core/16-thread configuration keeps up without issue. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 7683 and max-thread score of 7680 indicate consistent scaling across all threads, which is relevant for a game that may use multiple threads for physics, AI, and rendering tasks.

The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB L2 per core provide substantial on-chip memory for game data, reducing the need to access system memory. This cache configuration, combined with the 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, ensures that the game's assets and state data can be fed to the GPU without stalling. The 4.80 GHz boost clock provides the single-thread speed necessary for games that have a primary simulation thread, while the 8 cores handle background tasks such as opponent AI and collision detection.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture (chip AD103), manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process with 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die. It features 10240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units, along with 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz, with memory running at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective).

The GPU is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 736.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth. This large memory capacity and high bandwidth are well-suited for Undisputed's requirements at 4K Ultra settings, where texture data and frame buffers demand significant memory resources.
