CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D features 8 cores and 16 threads, a configuration well-suited for the simulation and physics calculations inherent to a sports title like Undisputed. The processor’s base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz provide significant single-thread headroom, which is critical for the game’s core logic and input response. The 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a notable asset, allowing the CPU to keep more of the game’s state data on-die, reducing latency when computing collision detection and fighter AI routines.

Benchmark results position this CPU in the 92nd percentile against all processors, with an average benchmark score of 58,386. Its nearest rivals in aggregate scoring include the Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M, which scores 58,323 (0.1% behind), and the Intel Core i9-14900, scoring 58,115 (0.5% behind). This places the 9850X3D in a tightly contested performance band, with its advantage over the i9-14900 being minimal in raw compute terms. However, the X3D’s cache architecture provides a distinct advantage in gaming workloads where data reuse is high, which is consistent with the measured frame rates in this title.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 476 FPS, a figure that requires the processor to feed frames rapidly without stalling. The 16 threads handle the game’s background tasks, such as crowd rendering and referee logic, while the high boost clock ensures that the primary simulation thread remains responsive. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,807 and single-core score of 2,228 reflect a balanced design that can sustain high throughput without sacrificing latency-sensitive performance.

The PassMark multi-thread score of 41,318 further validates the CPU’s capability for sustained loads, while the single-thread score of 4,704 confirms its strength in lightly threaded scenarios. For a boxing game where hit detection and physics need to update at high frequencies, the combination of 5.60 GHz boost capability and large cache translates directly into the high minimum frame rates observed at 1440p Medium, where the 211 FPS minimum suggests the CPU can hold frame pacing under complex in-ring scenarios. The data shows that this processor is not a limiting factor until the system is pushed to extreme frame rates beyond 400 FPS, where even this hardware begins to show its ceiling.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the primary driver of visual output, equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 736.3 GB/s. This memory configuration is more than sufficient for Undisputed’s texture and shader workloads, even at 4K Ultra settings where the 83 FPS average is achieved without any indication of memory pressure. The GPU’s boost clock of 2550 MHz, paired with 10,240 shading units, provides the raw compute necessary to render the game’s character models and arena environments at high detail.

The GPU’s benchmark standing places it in the 86th percentile against all graphics cards, with an average score of 54,209. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, scores 54,247, a delta of -0.1%, indicating that the SUPER variant offers only a marginal improvement over its predecessor in synthetic tests. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55,698, which is 2.7% higher, though this does not reflect the SUPER’s advantages in ray tracing or driver optimizations that may benefit this specific title.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s influence becomes dominant as resolution and settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 83 FPS, a significant reduction from the 130 FPS at 4K High, demonstrating that the Ultra preset’s additional effects, such as enhanced shadows and post-processing, impose a substantial load on the graphics pipeline. The GPU’s 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is the resource being consumed here, and the data shows that the 4080 SUPER can handle 4K Ultra at playable rates, though not with the same headroom seen at lower settings. The 16 GB VRAM is a future-proofing asset, ensuring that texture streaming at high resolutions does not cause stutter, which is corroborated by the consistent frame times observed in the measured rows.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured frame rates across presets reveal a clear hierarchy for the best experience. At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers 343 FPS average with a minimum of 291 FPS, providing a smooth and responsive experience while still maintaining visual quality above the Low preset’s 476 FPS. The jump from Medium to High at 1080p reduces the average to 284 FPS, which is a 17% drop, indicating that the High preset introduces effects that are visually noticeable but come at a measurable cost. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 183 FPS, which is still high but represents a 47% reduction from Medium, suggesting diminishing returns for the additional visual fidelity.

At 1440p, the Medium preset offers the best balance, with an average of 248 FPS and a minimum of 211 FPS. This is the highest preset that maintains a minimum above 200 FPS, ensuring that fast-paced combat never experiences perceptible stutter. The High preset at 1440p drops to 205 FPS average, which is still excellent but falls below the 200 FPS minimum threshold that Medium maintains. For players with high refresh rate monitors, Medium at 1440p is the recommended choice, as it provides a 211 FPS floor that exceeds the refresh rate of most 144Hz displays, while the visual difference between Medium and High is less impactful than the frame rate difference.

At 4K, the situation shifts. The Medium preset achieves 157 FPS with a minimum of 133 FPS, which is the only 4K setting that maintains a minimum above 120 FPS. The High preset at 4K delivers 130 FPS average, but its minimum is not recorded, suggesting potential variance. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 83 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a fast-paced sports game. The data indicates that Medium is the optimal preset at 4K, offering a 133 FPS minimum that ensures smooth gameplay, while the visual upgrade to High is marginal compared to the frame rate sacrifice. The Low preset at 4K achieves 218 FPS, but this setting is not recommended as it detracts from the game’s visual presentation without a proportional performance benefit at this resolution.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the expected shift in bottleneck from CPU to GPU. At 1080p Medium, the system produces 343 FPS, which drops to 248 FPS at 1440p Medium and further to 157 FPS at 4K Medium. This represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 37% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear, indicating that the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as resolution increases, while the CPU maintains sufficient headroom to keep feeding frames.

At High settings, the scaling is similar: 284 FPS at 1080p, 205 FPS at 1440p, and 130 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 28% and 37% respectively, matching the Medium preset’s scaling pattern. This consistency suggests that the GPU’s workload scales predictably with pixel count, and the CPU is not introducing variable bottlenecks across resolutions. At Ultra settings, the drop is more pronounced: 183 FPS at 1080p, 132 FPS at 1440p, and 83 FPS at 4K. The 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent, but the 37% drop from 1440p to 4K indicates that the Ultra preset’s added effects compound the GPU load at higher resolutions, pushing the RTX 4080 SUPER closer to its limits.

The 4K Low preset achieves 218 FPS, which is higher than the 1440p Ultra’s 132 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU is the primary limiter at high resolutions and high settings. The CPU’s capability is evident in the 1080p Low result of 476 FPS, where the processor is still able to drive frame rates that exceed the refresh rates of most displays. The data shows that for this combo, the GPU is the scaling bottleneck from 1080p to 4K, while the CPU’s influence is most felt at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 300 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its peak performance. The Low preset achieves 476 FPS average, which is the highest measured result in the entire dataset. Medium reduces this to 343 FPS, with a minimum of 291 FPS and a maximum of 394 FPS, indicating a stable frame delivery. High settings yield 284 FPS, while Ultra drops to 183 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 293 FPS, showing that the CPU can exploit low GPU loads to produce extreme frame rates, but the Ultra preset’s visual features cost over 60% of the Low preset’s performance.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down proportionally. Low settings produce 344 FPS, which is a 28% reduction from 1080p Low. Medium delivers 248 FPS, with a minimum of 211 FPS and a maximum of 285 FPS, providing the most consistent frame pacing at this resolution. High settings achieve 205 FPS, while Ultra drops to 132 FPS. The 1440p results show that Medium is the sweet spot for high refresh rate gaming, as its minimum of 211 FPS exceeds the 144Hz threshold while maintaining a 248 FPS average.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s workload becomes the dominant factor. Low settings produce 218 FPS, which is still very high for 4K. Medium achieves 157 FPS, with a minimum of 133 FPS and a maximum of 180 FPS, making it the only 4K preset with a recorded minimum above 120 FPS. High settings drop to 130 FPS, while Ultra falls to 83 FPS. The 4K data shows that the RTX 4080 SUPER can handle 4K gaming with ease at Medium settings, but the Ultra preset’s 83 FPS average is more suited for slower-paced titles or for players who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate.
