GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the primary driver of frame rates in Undisputed. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is crucial for handling the textures and assets at high resolutions, especially at 4K where the data shows a 139.9 FPS average on High settings. The GPU’s core clock operates at a base of 2295 MHz, with a boost clock of 2617 MHz, allowing for sustained high performance under load. The Blackwell 2.0 architecture includes 10752 shading units and 84 RT cores, though the latter are not directly stressed in this sports title, the raw shader throughput of 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 is the key contributor to the observed frame rates.

The GPU’s performance scales consistently with settings changes. At 1920x1080, the average FPS moves from 301.8 on High to 506.4 on Low, showing a 204.6 FPS increase when halving the graphical workload. This scaling is less pronounced at higher resolutions, where the CPU becomes a more significant factor. At 3840x2160, the difference between High (139.9 FPS) and Low (235.3 FPS) is 95.4 FPS. This pattern suggests that while the RTX 5080 is immensely powerful, the 4K Ultra preset at 88.4 FPS represents a point where the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are nearing their limits for this title. The benchmark results indicate the GPU is the dominant component in determining FPS, as the 16 GB of VRAM is sufficient for all tested settings without any indication of memory capacity bottlenecks.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X provides the processing foundation for this combo. With 8 cores and 16 threads, the CPU is well-suited for the multithreaded demands of modern game engines. The Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Granite Ridge, operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. This high boost clock is critical for single-threaded performance, which is often the bottleneck in sports games. The CPU’s benchmark scores support this: it achieves a 3dmark_single_thread score of 1280 and a cinebench_r23_singlecore score of 4459. In multi-threaded tests, the 9700X scores 31588 in cinebench_r23_multicore, showing strong scaling across its 16 threads.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role becomes more apparent as resolution decreases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS reaches 506.4. This figure is likely constrained by the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations. The 9700X’s performance in PassMark’s physics test (2241) and integer math test (120142) indicates robust processing power for game logic. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps reduce latency for frequently accessed data, which is beneficial for maintaining consistent frame pacing. The data shows that at 1080p, the CPU is the limiting factor, as the GPU is capable of rendering more frames than the CPU can issue. This is evident from the 506.4 FPS at Low settings, which is likely near the CPU’s maximum throughput for this game, regardless of GPU headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 73 out of 1580 tested configurations places it in the top 4.6% of all systems evaluated in Undisputed. This high ranking is a result of the synergy between the Ryzen 7 9700X and RTX 5080. The CPU’s 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36029, ensures it does not bottleneck the GPU. The nearest CPU rivals show minimal performance differences: the Intel Core i5-14500HX is 0.2% faster, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 is 0.6% slower. This indicates the 9700X is in a tightly competitive segment. The GPU’s 89th percentile ranking, with an average benchmark score of 59188, is similarly strong, with the Intel Arc A570M being 1.6% faster and the AMD Radeon Pro W5500X being 2.6% slower.

The combination of two top-tier components results in a system that outperforms 1507 other tested combos. The rank of 73 is notably high, suggesting that this pairing is well-balanced for this specific game. The data shows that the system’s performance is not hindered by CPU limitations at resolutions above 1080p, as the GPU takes over as the primary driver. At 1440p and 4K, the FPS scales with GPU load, indicating that the CPU has sufficient headroom to support the GPU’s output. The rank suggests that users with this combo can expect a top-tier experience in Undisputed, with the only better-performing systems likely having more powerful GPUs or CPUs that offer marginal gains in frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers an average FPS of 506.4 on Low, 363.1 on Medium, 301.8 on High, and 196.0 on Ultra. The transition from Low to Ultra at 1080p results in a 310.4 FPS drop, showing the significant impact of graphical settings on frame rate. The 1080p Ultra score of 196.0 FPS is still exceptionally high, indicating the system is well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS figures are 367.1 (Low), 263.6 (Medium), 218.7 (High), and 144.1 (Ultra). The relative performance drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings, with the Ultra preset seeing a 51.9 FPS reduction. This resolution is the sweet spot for this combo, as the 144.1 FPS at Ultra is above the 144 Hz refresh rate common in gaming monitors, ensuring smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the system produces an average FPS of 235.3 (Low), 165.3 (Medium), 139.9 (High), and 88.4 (Ultra). The 4K Ultra score of 88.4 FPS is the lowest recorded, but it remains playable for most users. The scaling from High to Ultra at 4K shows a 51.5 FPS drop, indicating that the Ultra preset’s additional effects have a substantial performance cost. The data reveals that the system is capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and 60+ FPS gaming at 4K with High settings. The 4K Low setting at 235.3 FPS shows the GPU’s raw capability without visual enhancements, while the 88.4 FPS at Ultra demonstrates the limits of the hardware under maximum load. These measured results confirm that the Ryzen 7 9700X and RTX 5080 combination is a high-performance pairing for Undisputed, offering flexibility across all resolutions and settings.
