Undisputed

FAQ

Q: What frame rate can this combo achieve at 4K with High settings in Undisputed?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 delivers an average of 66 FPS at 3840x2160 on High settings. That is the only 4K High result in the measured data, with no minimum or maximum reported for that row.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1440p Ultra settings?

A: At 2560x1440 with Ultra settings, the average FPS is 67, which is the lowest 1440p average in the measured set. The Medium preset at the same resolution produces 125 FPS average with a minimum of 107 FPS and a maximum of 144 FPS.

Q: Which preset delivers the highest measured average FPS for this combo?

A: The Low preset at 1920x1080 yields the top average of 241 FPS, with no min or max values recorded. The second-highest is Low at 2560x1440 with 174 FPS, followed by Medium at 1080p with 173 FPS.

Q: Is the combo more CPU-bound or GPU-bound at lower resolutions?

A: Benchmark results show the frame rate scales significantly with resolution — for example, High settings drop from 144 FPS at 1080p to 104 FPS at 1440p, then to 66 FPS at 4K. This indicates the GPU is the limiting factor as resolution climbs, while the CPU’s 8-core/16-thread configuration is sufficient to keep up at lower resolutions.

Q: What is the combo’s overall rank among tested combinations?

A: The combo ranks 2286 out of 3718 tested combinations in Undisputed, placing it in the lower-mid portion of the field. The CPU sits at the 83rd percentile versus all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 66th percentile versus all GPUs.

Q: Does the RTX 5050’s 8 GB VRAM cause any issues at any preset?

A: The measured FPS rows show a steep drop at Ultra settings across all resolutions — for instance, 4K Ultra averages 42 FPS versus 79 FPS on Medium. The 8 GB VRAM is likely a contributing factor, but the data does not explicitly report VRAM utilization, so this remains a qualitative observation.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 is the primary driver of frame rate scaling in Undisputed, and the measured results follow a clear pattern tied to its 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus. With a memory bandwidth of 320.0 GB/s and a boost clock of 2572 MHz, the GPU delivers 13.17 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. In this game, the difference between Low and Ultra settings at the same resolution is substantial: at 1080p, Low averages 241 FPS while Ultra drops to 92 FPS; at 1440p, Low averages 174 FPS while Ultra falls to 67 FPS; at 4K, Low averages 110 FPS while Ultra reaches only 42 FPS.

The VRAM capacity of 8 GB appears to be a limiting factor at Ultra presets, particularly at 4K where the average FPS is less than half of the Medium preset’s 79 FPS. The Ultra preset’s 42 FPS at 4K is the lowest measured average across all settings and resolutions. The Medium preset, however, shows a more moderate impact: at 4K Medium, the average is 79 FPS with a minimum of 67 FPS and a maximum of 91 FPS, suggesting the GPU can still handle the load without catastrophic frame drops. The data does not include VRAM usage metrics, so the exact cause remains inferred, but the scaling pattern is consistent with a memory capacity limit.

The GPU’s 20 Gbps effective memory speed and 2560 shading units provide sufficient headroom for 1080p and 1440p High and Medium settings, where the combo delivers 144 FPS and 104 FPS respectively, and 144 FPS and 125 FPS in 1440p. The 4K High average of 66 FPS is just above the 60 FPS threshold, but the 4K Ultra result of 42 FPS is not playable for a fluid experience. The RTX 5050’s DirectX 12 Ultimate support (version 12_2) and PCIe 5.0 x8 interface do not appear as bottlenecks in the measured data, as performance scales smoothly with resolution and preset changes.

The GPU’s percentile ranking at 66th among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21035, places it slightly behind the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL (21153, -0.6%) and the AMD Radeon HD 8970M (21237, -1%), but ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (20713, +1.6%). These deltaPct values are small, indicating the RTX 5050 is a mid-pack performer, which is reflected in the measured FPS: it can handle high-refresh 1080p and 1440p at Medium/High, but struggles with Ultra at all resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data supports a clear pick: the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual quality across all three resolutions. At 1080p, Medium averages 173 FPS with a minimum of 147 FPS and a maximum of 200 FPS, which is more than sufficient for a smooth experience on any high-refresh monitor. At 1440p, Medium delivers 125 FPS with a minimum of 107 FPS, still well above the 60 FPS threshold. Even at 4K, Medium achieves 79 FPS with a minimum of 67 FPS, making it the only 4K preset that stays reliably above 60 FPS.

The High preset is a viable alternative for users who prefer better visuals, but it costs a noticeable frame drop: at 1080p, High averages 144 FPS (down 29 FPS from Medium), at 1440p it averages 104 FPS (down 21 FPS), and at 4K it averages 66 FPS (down 13 FPS). The High preset at 1440p is still playable, but the 4K High result of 66 FPS is borderline for some users. The Ultra preset is not recommended for any resolution: it produces 92 FPS at 1080p, 67 FPS at 1440p, and only 42 FPS at 4K, with the 4K result clearly unplayable.

The Low preset is only useful for maximum frame rates, but it sacrifices visuals unnecessarily. At 1080p, Low yields 241 FPS, which is 68 FPS higher than Medium, but the gap narrows at higher resolutions: 1440p Low is 174 FPS versus 125 FPS on Medium, and 4K Low is 110 FPS versus 79 FPS on Medium. The data shows that Medium is the sweet spot, as it provides a large leap in visual quality over Low while still maintaining high FPS across all resolutions. For a game like Undisputed, which is a sports title that likely benefits from smooth animations, the Medium preset at 1440p (125 FPS) is the recommended experience, with 4K Medium (79 FPS) as a fallback for 4K displays.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 110 FPS average (no min/max)
• Medium: 79 FPS average, 67 FPS minimum, 91 FPS maximum
• High: 66 FPS average (no min/max)
• Ultra: 42 FPS average (no min/max)

At 4K, the gap between Medium and Ultra is 37 FPS, which is a 47% drop. The Medium preset’s minimum of 67 FPS is barely above the 60 FPS threshold, so 4K Medium is playable but with occasional dips. High’s 66 FPS average is borderline, while Ultra’s 42 FPS is not recommended.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 174 FPS average (no min/max)
• Medium: 125 FPS average, 107 FPS minimum, 144 FPS maximum
• High: 104 FPS average (no min/max)
• Ultra: 67 FPS average (no min/max)

The 1440p Medium result is excellent, with a minimum of 107 FPS that ensures no stutter. High at 104 FPS is still smooth but noticeably lower. Ultra at 67 FPS is playable but very close to the 60 FPS line, and the average drops to 67 FPS, which is the same as the 4Kp High result.

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 241 FPS average (no min/max)
• Medium: 173 FPS average, 147 FPS minimum, 200 FPS maximum
• High: 144 FPS average (no min/max)
• Ultra: 92 FPS average (no min/max)

At 1080p, the Medium preset is the best for competitive play, with a minimum of 147 FPS that stays above any typical refresh rate. High at 144 FPS is also very good, but the 29 FPS penalty is notable. Ultra’s 92 FPS is still playable, but it is a 47% drop from Medium.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: Medium always provides a minimum above 60 FPS (except 4Kp, where it matches), while High is borderline at 4Kp, and Ultra is only playable at 1080p. The Low preset is the only way to hit 241 FPS at 1080p, but it is not necessary for a smooth experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 combo ranks 2286 out of 3712 tested combinations in Undisputed, which is roughly the 61st percentile. This places it in the upper third of the field, but not in the top tier. The CPU’s percentileVsAllCpus is 83, meaning it outperforms 83% of all CPUs, while the GPU’s percentileVsAllGpus is 66, so it is a solid mid-pack GPU. The combination of a strong CPU and a moderate GPU explains the ranking: the CPU can feed the GPU well at lower resolutions, but the GPU bounds the performance at higher settings.

The CPU’s nearest rivals show a tight cluster: the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G (avgScore 33089, deltaPct 0), Intel Core i7-13650HX (avgScore 33089, deltaPct 0), and AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX (avgScore 33091, deltaPct 0) are all identical in average benchmark score, with the AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H (avgScore 33201, deltaPct -0.4%) trailing slightly. This means the 7800X3D is precisely at the average for its class, neither ahead nor behind.

The GPU’s nearest rivals are also clustered: the AMD Radeon RX Vega M GL (avgScore 21153, deltaPct -0.6%) and the AMD Radeon HD 8970M (avgScore 21237, deltaPct -1%) are slightly ahead, while the AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (avgScore 20713, deltaPct +1.6%) is slightly behind. The RTX 5050’s avgBenchmarkScore of 21035 sits right in the middle of this group, reinforcing its mid-pack status.

Given the rank of 2286 out of 3712, the combo is not a top performer, but it is not a weak one either. The data suggests that a stronger GPU would improve the rank more than a stronger CPU, because the GPU is the bottleneck at higher resolutions. The 7800X3D is already near the top of its class, while the RTX 5050 is only mid-pack.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a Zen 4 (Raphael) desktop processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 4.20 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. It has a 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is substantial for gaming, and supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth. The CPU’s benchmark scores are strong: for instance, the Cinebench R23 multicore score is 16817, the single-core is 1713, and the Geekbench multicore is 15610.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role becomes evident when looking at the FPS at different resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 241 FPS, which is the highest measured result, indicating that the CPU can feed the GPU enough frames at this resolution. At 1440p Low, the FPS drops to 174, and at 4K Low to 110, which shows that the GPU becomes the limit as resolution increases. The CPU’s single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score 959, Cinebench_r23_singlecore 1713) is sufficient for the game’s physics and AI, as the FPS never falls below 60 FPS even at 4K Ultra (42 FPS, but that is GPU-bound).

The CPU’s 8 cores / 16 threads are well-suited for a sports game that likely uses multiple threads for simulation and rendering. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 7980 and the multithread passmark score of 34293 indicate strong multi-core performance, which is consistent with the game’s ability to use CPU resources. The 7800X3D’s nearest rivals are all within 0.4% in average score, so the CPU is not a unique advantage, but it is a solid foundation.

The 5 nm process node (TSMC) and 11,270 million transistors on a 71 mm² die contribute to efficiency, with a TDP of 120W. The CPU’s integrated Radeon Graphics is present but irrelevant for this combo, as the RTX 5050 handles all rendering. Overall, the CPU is a capable partner for the RTX 5050, but it is not the limiting factor; the GPU is the one that needs to be upgraded to achieve higher FPS at Ultra settings or 4K.
