Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, ranking 19th out of 1580 tested combos. The data shows this pairing is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, with the CPU's 3D V-Cache providing ample headroom for the RTX 5090 to reach extremely high frame rates across all settings.

Resolution Scaling

Frame rates scale predictably with resolution, but the rate of decline reveals the limiting component. Dropping from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra settings reduces average FPS from 210.7 to 149.9, a 28.8% decrease. The gap narrows further when moving from 1440p to 4K at Ultra, where the average falls to 99.5 FPS, another 33.6% reduction. This progressive decline indicates the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases.

The Low settings preset shows the most dramatic resolution scaling. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 546.9 FPS, which falls to 395.2 FPS at 1440p and 253.1 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops from 1080p to 4K at Low settings amount to approximately 53.7%, while the same comparison at Ultra settings shows a 52.8% reduction. These similar scaling ratios across presets suggest the RTX 5090's rendering pipeline handles the workload consistently regardless of graphical complexity.

At 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra settings is substantial: 253.1 FPS versus 99.5 FPS. This 153.6 FPS difference indicates that even at the highest resolution, the GPU has significant headroom to process higher-quality visuals without the CPU becoming a limiting factor. Conversely, the 1080p results show the CPU's ceiling, as the 546.9 FPS at Low settings likely approaches the maximum frame rate the Ryzen 7 7800X3D can feed to the GPU.

GPU Role

The RTX 5090's 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides a 1.79 TB/s bandwidth, which proves ample for Undisputed at any resolution. The data shows no memory-related performance cliffs, as even the most demanding 4K Ultra configuration maintains nearly 100 FPS. The GPU's 21,760 shading units and 176 ROPs handle the game's rendering requirements with substantial headroom.

Clock speeds of 2017 MHz base and 2407 MHz boost contribute to the GPU's raw throughput. The 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance allows the card to maintain high frame rates even when settings are maximized. At 4K High, the combo delivers 149.5 FPS, which is 50.3% faster than the 4K Ultra result of 99.5 FPS, showing how the GPU scales with graphical load.

The GPU's 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it near the top of the performance hierarchy. Its average benchmark score of 84,306 is just 0.1% ahead of the RTX 5090 D and 0.2% ahead of the RTX 5050 Mobile, though these are synthetic benchmarks rather than game-specific measurements. In Undisputed, the GPU demonstrates its capability by exceeding 200 FPS at 1080p Medium and 1440p High settings.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D's 8 cores and 16 threads with a 4.20 GHz base and 5.00 GHz boost clock provide robust processing power. The 96 MB of shared L3 cache is the standout feature, delivering the low-latency performance that helps maintain high frame rates in CPU-intensive scenarios. The CPU's 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it solidly in the upper tier.

Synthetic benchmarks show strong multi-threaded performance: a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 29,149 and a Geekbench multicore score of 15,101. Single-thread performance is equally impressive with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,115. These results suggest the CPU can sustain high instruction throughput, which is crucial for maintaining consistent frame pacing in sports titles.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 31,580 places it just 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700F and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX. However, the 3D V-Cache configuration provides gaming-specific advantages that synthetic scores may not fully capture. In Undisputed, the CPU's influence is most apparent at 1080p Low, where the 546.9 FPS result likely approaches the CPU's frame delivery ceiling, given that the GPU could theoretically render even faster at such low graphical demands.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers consistently high frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 546.9 FPS, Medium drops to 395.2 FPS, High reaches 324.9 FPS, and Ultra maintains 210.7 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 61.5% reduction in frame rate, demonstrating the GPU's sensitivity to graphical quality settings at this resolution.

Moving to 1440p, the results show 395.2 FPS at Low, 284.1 FPS at Medium, 236.4 FPS at High, and 149.9 FPS at Ultra. The 1080p to 1440p transition costs approximately 27.7% performance at Low settings, 28.1% at Medium, 27.2% at High, and 28.8% at Ultra. This consistent scaling pattern indicates balanced GPU utilization across the resolution change.

At 4K, the frame rates remain highly playable: 253.1 FPS at Low, 183.6 FPS at Medium, 149.5 FPS at High, and 99.5 FPS at Ultra. The transition from 1440p to 4K results in a 35.9% performance drop at Low settings, 35.4% at Medium, 36.8% at High, and 33.6% at Ultra. The 4K Ultra result of 99.5 FPS remains well above standard 60 FPS display refresh rates, confirming the combo's capability for high-refresh-rate 4K gaming.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination ranks 19th out of 1,580 tested combos, placing it in the top 1.2% of all configurations. This high ranking reflects the synergy between the Ryzen 7 7800X3D's gaming-optimized cache design and the RTX 5090's flagship-level rendering power. The CPU's 87th percentile and GPU's 94th percentile individual rankings combine to produce a system that excels particularly in games like Undisputed where frame rates are consistently high.

Among the CPU's nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D's average benchmark score of 31,580 edges out the Intel Core i7-12700F by 0.1% and the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX by 0.3%. These small synthetic differences belie the CPU's gaming advantage, as the 3D V-Cache provides tangible benefits in frame delivery consistency. Similarly, the GPU's average benchmark score of 84,306 places it just 0.1% ahead of the RTX 5090 D and 1.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon PRO W6600, though the RTX 5090's game-specific performance in Undisputed shows clear dominance.

The rank of 19th out of 1,580 combos means only 18 other configurations, likely featuring even more specialized or overclocked parts, outperform this pairing. For a stock configuration with a 120 W CPU and 575 W GPU, this ranking demonstrates exceptional efficiency in delivering high frame rates.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K gaming, the High preset at 149.5 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, as the Ultra preset's 99.5 FPS result may not fully utilize high-refresh-rate displays above 100 Hz. The Medium preset at 183.6 FPS provides additional headroom for competitive play, though the visual fidelity reduction may be noticeable on larger screens.

At 1440p, the Ultra preset at 149.9 FPS delivers the full visual experience while maintaining frame rates sufficient for most high-refresh-rate monitors. The High preset at 236.4 FPS offers a significant performance boost for competitive players prioritizing responsiveness over graphical detail. Given that even the Ultra preset exceeds 144 FPS, players with 144 Hz displays can comfortably use maximum settings.

For 1080p, the Ultra preset at 210.7 FPS is clearly the recommended choice, as even the most demanding settings remain well above 200 FPS. The High preset at 324.9 FPS provides additional margin for players using 240 Hz or 360 Hz displays, but the visual quality trade-off may not be worthwhile for most users. The Medium preset at 395.2 FPS and Low preset at 546.9 FPS are only recommended for extreme competitive scenarios where maximum frame rates are prioritized above all visual considerations.
