Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, producing frame rates that range from highly playable at 4K to exceptionally high at 1080p. The data shows a combination that scales predictably with resolution and settings, though the nature of that scaling reveals distinct bottlenecks depending on the configuration. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, the combo's standing among tested hardware, and the specific roles the CPU and GPU play in generating these results.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial, but the rate of decline is heavily influenced by the graphics settings. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 509.1 FPS at 1920x1080 to 236.1 FPS at 3840x2160, a reduction of 273 FPS. This sharp decline indicates that even at low graphical fidelity, the GPU is being pushed harder as pixel count increases. However, the 1080p Low result of 509.1 FPS is so high that it suggests a CPU limit at that resolution; the GPU is capable of far more, but the processor cannot feed it data quickly enough. The 4K Low result of 236.1 FPS, while lower, is still remarkably high and shows the RTX 5080 has ample headroom.

The scaling pattern shifts dramatically when moving to higher settings. At Ultra settings, the average FPS drops from 196 at 1080p to 89.9 at 4K, a 106.1 FPS decrease. This smaller absolute drop, combined with the lower starting point, indicates a transition to a GPU-bound scenario at higher settings. The workload becomes more demanding per pixel, and the GPU's raw compute power becomes the limiting factor. The data for Medium and High settings sits between these extremes, with High settings showing a drop from 300.4 FPS at 1080p to 136.6 FPS at 4K. This suggests that Undisputed is highly scalable, but the limiting component is resolution-dependent: the CPU constrains performance at 1080p, while the GPU takes over as the primary bottleneck at 4K and with higher preset levels.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 ranks 68th out of 1580 combos. This places it in the top 4.3% of all tested configurations, a strong showing that reflects the high-end nature of both components. The percentile ranking is corroborated by the individual component benchmarks; the CPU sits at the 89th percentile against all CPUs, and the GPU also sits at the 89th percentile against all GPUs.

The combination's strength comes from having two top-tier parts working in tandem. The CPU's average benchmark score is 34313, which is very close to its nearest rivals. For instance, it is a mere 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i5-13500 and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12800HX. This tight grouping indicates that the 7700X is competitively positioned in the mid-to-high range. The GPU's average score of 59188 places it 1.6% ahead of the Intel Arc A570M, though it trails the Intel Arc Pro A60 by 1.9%. This data suggests that while the GPU is powerful, its nearest rivals are not far behind in synthetic benchmarks. The 68th rank in this specific game, therefore, is a result of the synergy between the strong CPU and GPU, which together provide a high and consistent level of performance in Undisputed.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the primary driver of frame rates at higher resolutions and settings. Its specifications are substantial: 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is crucial for handling the texture data and geometry at 4K Ultra settings, where the average FPS is 89.9. The GPU's core is the GB203 chip, built on a 5 nm process, with 10752 shading units. Its clock speeds are a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2617 MHz. These clocks, combined with the high core count, allow the card to deliver the pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s, which are directly relevant to rendering a sports title like Undisputed.

The GPU's role becomes more pronounced as the workload increases. At 1080p Low, the GPU is not the limiting factor, as evidenced by the 509.1 FPS result. However, when the settings are raised to Ultra at 1080p, the frame rate drops to 196 FPS, showing the GPU is now doing significantly more work. At 4K Ultra, the 89.9 FPS result shows the GPU is heavily loaded. The data indicates that the RTX 5080 is more than capable of handling 4K at medium-to-high settings, with 169.4 FPS and 136.6 FPS respectively, but the Ultra preset at 4K is where the card's limits begin to show. The 16 GB VRAM is likely a key factor in maintaining stable performance across all these settings, preventing texture swapping or memory-related stutters. The GPU's passmark G3D score of 36565 further underscores its high level of raw performance, which is reflected in the measured FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across all major resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the results are extremely high. The Low preset averages 509.1 FPS, Medium averages 366.3 FPS, High averages 300.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 196 FPS. The wide spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p highlights the significant impact of graphical settings on the GPU's workload, even at a lower resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain very high. The Low preset averages 366.7 FPS, a slight decrease from 1080p but still exceptionally smooth. Medium averages 264.3 FPS, High averages 220.8 FPS, and Ultra averages 138.6 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings, showing a roughly 20-25% reduction in FPS, which is expected given the increase in pixel count.

At 3840x2160, the performance is still playable but demands more from the GPU. The Low preset averages 236.1 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 366.7 FPS at 1440p, but still far above the refresh rate of most monitors. Medium averages 169.4 FPS, High averages 136.6 FPS, and Ultra averages 89.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that dips below the 100 FPS mark, indicating that this is the most demanding scenario for this hardware. Overall, the data shows that this combo can deliver a high-refresh-rate experience at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, and a solid 60+ FPS experience at 4K for all but the most demanding Ultra preset.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X is a critical component in achieving the high frame rates seen at lower resolutions. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, it has the multi-threading capability to handle the game's simulation and AI logic. Its base clock of 4.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz provide strong single-thread performance, which is often crucial for game logic. The CPU's benchmark results are strong, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 30325 and a single-core score of 4281. The Geekbench single-core score of 2985 further confirms its high per-core performance.

The CPU's role is most evident in the 1080p Low results. The 509.1 FPS average suggests that the game is not GPU-bound at that setting; the RTX 5080 is capable of more, but the CPU is likely the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 7700X's strong single-thread performance prevents it from being a major bottleneck, but the frame rate ceiling is still set by the processor's ability to issue draw calls and process game state. As the resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, and the CPU's workload does not increase proportionally. This is why the FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is more pronounced at Low settings than at Ultra settings. The CPU's L3 cache of 32 MB (shared) and support for DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s help ensure that data can be fed to the cores efficiently, minimizing stalls. The 7700X's performance is closely matched by its rivals, with a 0.4% lead over the Intel Core i5-13500, indicating that its performance level is well-established and competitive. Its 89th percentile ranking against all CPUs confirms that it is a high-performing processor that pairs well with the RTX 5080 to deliver the top-tier results observed in Undisputed.
