Undisputed

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 121 out of 1,580 tested combinations in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the top 8% of all tested configs, a strong showing for a sports title that tends to favor GPU throughput over CPU-bound physics. The processor itself sits at the 90th percentile among all CPUs in aggregate benchmarks, while the GPU lands at the 88th percentile among all GPUs, indicating a balanced pairing where neither component is dramatically holding back the other.

Against its immediate rivals, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D posts an average benchmark score of 37,780, which is within 0.1% of the Intel Xeon 6353P (37,811) and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 (37,831). The delta grows to 0.6% against the Intel Core i9-13900HK (38,020) and 0.7% against the Intel Core i5-13600KF (38,028). These are marginal differences, effectively placing the 9800X3D in a statistical tie with its closest competitors in raw compute, though the 3D V-Cache architecture may still confer advantages in game-specific workloads that general benchmarks do not fully capture.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER averages 53,610 across its benchmark suite, leading the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (53,489) by 0.2% and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (53,414) by 0.4%. The gap widens to 2.1% over the AMD Radeon RX 7700S (52,505) and 2.9% over the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (52,086). These results show the 4080 SUPER holding a modest but consistent edge over its nearest rivals, though the differences are small enough that in-game performance will be dictated more by driver optimization and specific title demands than by raw benchmark deltas.

The combo’s rank of 121 out of 1,580 is notable because it demonstrates that this hardware pair is not merely adequate but genuinely competitive in Undisputed’s measured environment. The data indicates a system that can handle the game’s demands without bottlenecking at any single point, which is the hallmark of a well-matched CPU-GPU combination.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER brings 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a substantial memory pool for a sports title, where texture streaming and high-resolution assets can consume VRAM quickly. The GPU’s base clock runs at 2,295 MHz with a boost clock of 2,550 MHz, and memory operates at 1,438 MHz with 23 Gbps effective speed. These clock speeds, combined with 10,240 shading units, 320 tensor cores, and 80 RT cores, position the 4080 SUPER as a high-end Ada Lovelace part that is well-suited for pushing high frame rates at demanding resolutions.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s role is paramount. The game is not particularly CPU-sensitive, as evidenced by the fact that the 9800X3D’s single-thread score of 1,212 in 3DMark and multi-thread score of 10,081 in the 16-thread test do not appear to be limiting factors in the measured FPS. Instead, the RTX 4080 SUPER’s raw throughput — 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 and 816.0 GTexel/s texture rate — drives the frame generation. The pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s ensures that even at 4K, the GPU can fill frames quickly enough to maintain playable performance.

The data shows that the GPU’s memory bandwidth becomes increasingly relevant as resolution scales. At 1080p, the CPU can feed frames fast enough that the GPU is often the limiting factor, but the 4080 SUPER’s 736.3 GB/s bandwidth prevents any memory-related stuttering. At 4K, the larger frame buffer requirement is comfortably met by 16 GB of GDDR6X, and the measured FPS numbers confirm that the GPU is still delivering high averages rather than collapsing under memory pressure.

The RTX 4080 SUPER’s 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns with its performance class. It sits just ahead of the RX 6900 XT by 0.2%, which is a marginal but consistent advantage in synthetic tests. For Undisputed, this translates into the GPU being able to handle Ultra settings at 1440p with an average of 129.8 FPS, a figure that suggests headroom for high-refresh-rate displays without compromising visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of how the Ryzen 7 9800X3D + RTX 4080 SUPER combo behaves across Undisputed’s four settings presets. At 1080p, the Low preset yields an average of 477.9 FPS, Medium delivers 342.5 FPS, High achieves 284.4 FPS, and Ultra drops to 180.9 FPS. These numbers indicate that even at Ultra, the system is far beyond the 144 Hz threshold, making any preset viable for competitive play. However, the jump from High to Ultra costs 103.5 FPS (a 36% reduction), which is a significant penalty for what may be marginal visual gains in a sports title.

At 1440p, the story shifts slightly. Low produces 346.5 FPS, Medium 246.4 FPS, High 203.1 FPS, and Ultra 129.8 FPS. The Ultra setting still clears 120 FPS, which is excellent for most monitors, but the gap between High and Ultra narrows to 73.3 FPS (a 36% drop again). The High preset appears to be the sweet spot for 1440p, offering 203.1 FPS with enough visual fidelity to appreciate the game’s presentation while maintaining a massive frame-rate buffer.

At 4K, the presets show more pronounced scaling. Low averages 219.5 FPS, Medium 156.6 FPS, High 128.4 FPS, and Ultra 84.2 FPS. Here, Ultra is the only setting that falls below the 100 FPS mark, but it still remains playable on most displays. The High preset at 128.4 FPS is arguably the best balance for 4K, providing smooth motion without the 44.2 FPS penalty (a 34% drop) that Ultra imposes over High.

For the best experience per the measured rows, the High preset at 1440p stands out. It delivers 203.1 FPS, which is 73.3 FPS higher than Ultra at the same resolution, while maintaining a visual quality that is only one step below the maximum. At 4K, High at 128.4 FPS is the recommended choice for those who prioritize frame rate over absolute fidelity, as it keeps the experience well above 120 FPS. The Medium preset at 156.6 FPS for 4K is a viable alternative for users who want a safety margin on refresh rate, but it sacrifices more visual quality than the step from High to Ultra justifies.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo reveals a consistent pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 477.9 FPS on Low, 342.5 FPS on Medium, 284.4 FPS on High, and 180.9 FPS on Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is 297 FPS, indicating that the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution, and the CPU is capable of feeding it enough data to sustain these high averages.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers drop but remain impressive: 346.5 FPS on Low, 246.4 FPS on Medium, 203.1 FPS on High, and 129.8 FPS on Ultra. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings — roughly 27-28% fewer frames — which suggests that the GPU is beginning to become the limiting factor, though the CPU is still keeping pace.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve steepens. Low produces 219.5 FPS, Medium 156.6 FPS, High 128.4 FPS, and Ultra 84.2 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is more pronounced at lower settings (37% for Low) than at higher settings (35% for Ultra), indicating that the GPU’s fill rate and bandwidth are being taxed more heavily as resolution increases. The 4K Ultra figure of 84.2 FPS is the only measured result below 100 FPS, and it remains respectable for a sports title that does not require the extreme frame rates of competitive shooters.

The scaling from High to Ultra is remarkably consistent across resolutions: a 36% drop at 1080p, a 36% drop at 1440p, and a 34% drop at 4K. This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces a uniform increase in shading and texture complexity that the GPU handles proportionally, regardless of resolution. The Low to Medium jump is also consistent, with 28% drops at 1080p and 1440p, and a 29% drop at 4K. These patterns indicate a well-optimized game engine that scales predictably with settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS progression from 1080p to 4K reveals important insights about which component is limiting performance in Undisputed. At 1080p High, the combo achieves 284.4 FPS. Dropping to 1440p High reduces this to 203.1 FPS, a 28.6% decrease. Moving to 4K High yields 128.4 FPS, a 36.8% drop from 1440p. The increasing percentage loss as resolution rises is a classic sign that the GPU is becoming the primary bottleneck at higher pixel counts.

This pattern holds across all settings. At Low, the drop from 1080p (477.9 FPS) to 1440p (346.5 FPS) is 27.5%, and from 1440p to 4K (219.5 FPS) is 36.7%. At Medium, the corresponding drops are 28.1% and 36.4%. At Ultra, the reductions are 28.2% and 35.1%. The consistency of these percentages — roughly 28% for the first resolution step and 36% for the second — indicates that the GPU’s rendering load scales predictably with pixel count, and that the CPU is not introducing a variable bottleneck.

The fact that the 1080p to 1440p drop is smaller than the 1440p to 4K drop suggests that the RTX 4080 SUPER still has headroom at 1080p, where the CPU may be partially limiting performance. At 1080p Low, the 477.9 FPS figure is extraordinarily high, and it is unlikely that the GPU is the sole constraint at this point; the Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s 3D V-Cache and 96 MB of shared L3 cache help maintain high frame delivery, but the sheer volume of frames being generated approaches the limit of what even a top-tier CPU can feed.

At 4K, the GPU is unequivocally the limiting component. The 84.2 FPS at Ultra is a 53% reduction from the 1080p Ultra figure of 180.9 FPS, and this dramatic scaling shows that the 4080 SUPER is being pushed to its limits. The 736.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth and 52.22 TFLOPS of compute are sufficient for 4K High at 128.4 FPS, but the Ultra preset’s additional workload pushes the GPU past its comfort zone. For users targeting 4K, the High preset is the recommended ceiling, as it maintains a 128.4 FPS average while still looking visually rich.
