Undisputed

# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, ranking 246th out of 3,718 tested CPU/GPU combinations — placing it in the top 7% of all configurations. Across all four settings presets, this combo exceeds 84 FPS at 4K, which means even the most demanding visual configuration provides a fluid boxing experience. The data shows that this pairing is substantially overqualified for 1080p gaming, where even Ultra settings reach 184 FPS, and Low settings push past 479 FPS. This is a configuration built for high-refresh-rate displays at high resolutions, with the RTX 4080's 16 GB of VRAM and the 9800X3D's 96 MB of L3 cache working in tandem to eliminate bottlenecks in this sports title.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data for Undisputed reveals a clear hierarchy across the four tested presets, with each step up in quality costing a significant but predictable amount of performance. At 4K, the gap between Low and Ultra is stark: Low averages 219 FPS, Medium drops to 158 FPS, High falls to 130 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 84 FPS. This represents a 62% performance penalty from Low to Ultra at 4K, yet even the worst-case Ultra number remains comfortably above 60 FPS, making every preset technically playable at this resolution.

For players prioritizing the highest visual fidelity without sacrificing competitive responsiveness, the High preset at 4K offers the best balance. The 130 FPS average at 4K High is more than double the refresh rate of standard 60 Hz displays, and it maintains a meaningful gap above the 84 FPS Ultra result while delivering most of the visual improvements. Medium at 4K, averaging 158 FPS, is the stronger choice for those with 144 Hz displays, as it provides a 21% uplift over High while still looking substantially better than Low.

At 1440p, the calculus shifts. High settings produce 206 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most 1440p gaming monitors, while Ultra still delivers 133 FPS — enough for high-refresh gaming without compromise. The data indicates that 1440p Ultra is the sweet spot for this configuration, as it provides the full visual experience at a frame rate that remains fluid on 120 Hz and 144 Hz panels. Users with 240 Hz 1440p displays should consider High settings, since the 206 FPS average gets closer to that target.

At 1080p, every preset is overkill. Low settings reach 479 FPS, Medium hits 345 FPS, High produces 285 FPS, and even Ultra maintains 184 FPS. The recommendation here is simple: use Ultra settings to maximize visual quality, since the performance headroom is so large that no competitive disadvantage exists. The 184 FPS Ultra result still exceeds the refresh rate of most 1080p gaming monitors, and the gap between Medium and Ultra (345 vs. 184 FPS) is irrelevant when both are far beyond display capabilities.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 serves as the primary driver of frame rates in Undisputed, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth come into play. The card's 48.74 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, combined with 76 RT cores and 304 tensor cores, provides ample raw power for this sports title, which does not appear to leverage ray tracing or DLSS based on the measured data. The 2,205 MHz base clock and 2,505 MHz boost clock represent a modest factory overclock out of the box, and the 320 W TDP indicates this is a high-power part that requires robust cooling — the triple-slot design and 1x 16-pin power connector reflect this thermal envelope.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is a significant asset in Undisputed, as the game's texture detail at Ultra settings can consume substantial memory at 4K. The data shows that the RTX 4080 handles even the most demanding configuration without issue, maintaining 84 FPS at 4K Ultra where memory pressure would typically be highest. The 256-bit memory bus and 22.4 Gbps effective memory speed provide the bandwidth needed to feed the GPU's shading units, TMUs, and ROPs without stalling.

Benchmark results place the RTX 4080 in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54,247. Its nearest rivals in the database highlight how closely matched it is to the RTX 4080 SUPER: the 4080 SUPER scores 54,209, a mere 0.1% difference, making the two effectively identical in synthetic tests. Interestingly, the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54,828 (1.1% higher), and the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698 (2.6% higher), though these workstation and lower-tier gaming cards are unlikely to match the RTX 4080's feature set in actual gameplay. The data suggests that the RTX 4080's performance in Undisputed is representative of its overall standing — strong but not class-leading, with the 4K Ultra result of 84 FPS indicating the GPU is the limiting factor at that extreme setting.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D provides the computational backbone for this configuration, and its 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for Undisputed's demands. The processor's 4.70 GHz base clock and 5.20 GHz boost clock, built on the Zen 5 architecture with a 4 nm process, deliver exceptional single-threaded performance that sports games typically rely on for physics and animation calculations. The 96 MB of shared L3 cache is the defining feature of this chip, and it likely helps maintain consistent frame pacing in boxing matches where many on-screen entities — fighters, referees, and crowd members — require rapid data access.

The 9800X3D's benchmark scores confirm its position as a high-end desktop processor. It achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 23,230 and a single-core score of 2,080, along with a Geekbench multicore score of 18,696 and single-core score of 2,964. The 3DMark results show strong scaling from 2,394 (2 threads) to 10,067 (max threads), with the 8-thread score of 8,252 indicating that the chip efficiently utilizes its physical cores. The processor sits in the 87th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 39,768.

Its nearest rivals in the database reveal a tightly packed mid-range field. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840HS scores 39,603 (0.4% lower), the Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40,048 (0.7% higher), the Ryzen AI 7 450 scores 39,485 (0.7% lower), and the Ryzen 7 7700 scores 40,081 (0.8% higher). These deltas are within noise, suggesting the 9800X3D's advantage in gaming comes not from raw throughput but from its 3D V-Cache technology, which the benchmark data does not directly capture. In Undisputed, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU at higher resolutions, but at 1080p Low (479 FPS), the processor must keep up with an enormous frame rate — and the 9800X3D clearly does, as no CPU bottleneck manifests in the data.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about which component limits frame rates in Undisputed. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 479 at 1080p to 346 at 1440p (a 28% decrease) and then to 219 at 4K (a 37% decrease from 1440p). This pattern indicates that even at the lowest settings, the GPU becomes increasingly taxed as resolution rises, while the CPU maintains its ability to feed frames — the 9800X3D's strength is evident in the fact that 1080p Low reaches 479 FPS without visible CPU limitations.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar: 345 FPS at 1080p, 249 FPS at 1440p (28% drop), and 158 FPS at 4K (37% drop from 1440p). The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and Medium suggests that the rendering pipeline scales predictably with pixel count, and the GPU is the primary bottleneck even at these lower quality presets. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 96 MB L3 cache, has ample headroom to keep up with the GPU's output demands.

High settings show a slightly different pattern: 285 FPS at 1080p, 206 FPS at 1440p (28% drop), and 130 FPS at 4K (37% drop from 1440p). The scaling percentages remain constant, indicating that the added visual complexity of High settings does not disproportionately burden either component. Ultra settings, however, exhibit the steepest resolution scaling: 184 FPS at 1080p, 133 FPS at 1440p (28% drop), and 84 FPS at 4K (37% drop from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 84 FPS is the only point where performance approaches a potential concern, and it clearly identifies the GPU as the limiting factor at this extreme configuration.

The uniform scaling percentages across all settings confirm that Undisputed is GPU-bound at resolutions above 1080p. The RTX 4080's 48.74 TFLOPS of compute power and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth are the determining factors, while the CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases. At 1080p, where frame rates exceed 184 FPS even at Ultra, the 9800X3D's high single-thread performance (2,080 in Cinebench R23 single-core) ensures no bottleneck, but the GPU still governs the overall scaling curve.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the configuration delivers extraordinary frame rates across all presets. Low settings average 479 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset and indicates that the game's minimum settings place almost no load on either component. Medium settings produce 345 FPS with a minimum of 293 FPS and maximum of 396 FPS, showing tight frame pacing with a 30% variance between min and max. High settings average 285 FPS, and Ultra settings deliver 184 FPS — still far above the threshold for smooth competitive play.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptional. Low settings average 346 FPS, representing a 28% drop from 1080p but still far exceeding display capabilities. Medium settings produce 249 FPS with a minimum of 212 FPS and maximum of 286 FPS, maintaining the same 30% variance observed at 1080p. High settings average 206 FPS, which is ideal for 1440p 200 Hz displays. Ultra settings deliver 133 FPS, a 28% drop from the 1080p Ultra result and the first point where frame rates dip below 144 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the configuration remains playable at every preset. Low settings average 219 FPS, which is higher than most 4K displays can even display. Medium settings produce 158 FPS with a minimum of 134 FPS and maximum of 181 FPS — the variance here is 35%, slightly wider than at lower resolutions, suggesting increased GPU load causes minor frame pacing fluctuations. High settings average 130 FPS, providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. Ultra settings deliver 84 FPS, the lowest measured result, but still sufficient for smooth gameplay on standard 60 Hz displays.

The Medium preset is the only one with complete min/max data across all three resolutions, allowing for a detailed analysis of frame consistency. At 1080p, the range is 293–396 FPS; at 1440p, 212–286 FPS; and at 4K, 134–181 FPS. The absolute spread narrows as resolution increases, but the percentage variance grows slightly, indicating that the GPU's workload at 4K introduces more variability. Overall, the RTX 4080 and Ryzen 7 9800X3D combination delivers a consistently high-performance experience in Undisputed, with no resolution or settings combination falling below 84 FPS average.
