Undisputed

Undisputed is a sports title where frame pacing and smoothness matter more than raw graphical flash, and the data for the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combo reflects a system built to dominate. This pairing consistently produces triple-digit frame rates across all tested resolutions and settings, making it a top-tier choice for competitive play. The benchmark results show a clear hierarchy: as resolution and graphical fidelity increase, the average frame rate decreases predictably, but the floor remains exceptionally high. The combination of a 16-thread processor and a 24 GB graphics card ensures that the system is never the bottleneck, even when pushing the game to its absolute limits.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this specific CPU and GPU pairing at rank 123 out of 2813 tested combos for Undisputed. This position in the 95th percentile of all tested configurations demonstrates that this is a high-end setup, though it does not hold the absolute top spot. The ranking indicates that while the hardware is exceptionally strong, a handful of other configurations—likely those with even more specialized components—manage to squeeze out slightly higher average scores in this specific title. For practical purposes, this rank means the combo is in the top 4.4% of all systems tested, which is a significant achievement.

The performance delta between this combo and its closest rivals in the database is minimal. The CPU's average benchmark score of 58386 places it within 0.7% of the nearest competing processors, such as the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 and the Intel Xeon w5-2545. This suggests that the processor's raw compute power is nearly identical to its peers, meaning the overall ranking in Undisputed is likely influenced more by the GPU and system-level factors than by CPU differences alone. The GPU, with an average score of 60347, similarly sits within 2.9% of its nearest rivals like the AMD Radeon PRO V710, indicating that the graphics card is performing exactly as expected for its class.

What this rank translates to in real-world terms is a system that will not struggle with any scenario the game presents. The measured FPS data supports this, showing that even at 4K Ultra, the average frame rate of 93 FPS is well above the threshold for smooth, responsive gameplay. The gap between this combo and the 123rd place ranking is not a sign of weakness but rather a reflection of the sheer number of possible configurations, many of which may use multi-GPU setups or other exotic hardware that do not translate to a better gaming experience in a sports title like this.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the primary driver of the high frame rates observed in the measured data. Its 24 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 384-bit bus provides a 1.01 TB/s memory bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the textures and geometry used in Undisputed at any resolution. The GPU's boost clock of 2520 MHz ensures that the shading units, which number 16384, are fed with data quickly enough to maintain high output. This is evident in the 4K High result of 144 FPS, a score that relies heavily on the GPU's raw rasterization power rather than the CPU.

The card's architecture, Ada Lovelace, and its 128 RT cores are not heavily taxed in this game, but the sheer number of CUDA cores provides a massive buffer. The data shows a clear scaling pattern: moving from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra drops the average frame rate from 530 FPS to 93 FPS. This five-fold reduction is a direct consequence of the GPU's workload increasing with pixel count and shader complexity. The 24 GB VRAM capacity also means that there is no risk of running out of memory at high settings, preventing any potential stuttering or texture pop-in that might occur on cards with less memory.

The RTX 4090's performance is consistent with its percentile ranking of 88 among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database, such as the Intel Arc Pro A60, show a delta of 0%, meaning the 4090 is performing at the expected level for its specifications. The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 93, but it is still a playable frame rate. The card's 450 W TDP and triple-slot design are the physical costs of this performance, but they are justified by the results.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to play Undisputed with this combo for a competitive edge?

A: The data shows that at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average frame rate is 530 FPS, which far exceeds the refresh rate of any current monitor.

Q: What is the minimum frame rate recorded in the data?

A: The lowest minimum frame rate recorded across all measured settings is 148 FPS, which occurs at 3840x2160 on Medium settings. This indicates that even in the most demanding scenarios, the frame rate does not drop below a level that would cause noticeable stutter or input lag.

Q: Does the CPU boost clock of 5.60 GHz make a significant difference in this game?

A: The CPU's boost clock of 5.60 GHz is a high value, but in this title, the CPU is not the primary bottleneck. The data shows that the frame rates scale primarily with resolution and GPU load. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to keep the GPU fed, but the game does not rely on extreme single-thread performance to achieve its high frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at how this combo scales across different settings. At 1920x1080, the results are staggeringly high. With Low settings, the average frame rate is 530 FPS, a figure that is purely academic as no display can show it. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 381 FPS with a minimum of 324 and a maximum of 438. High settings yield an average of 315 FPS, while Ultra brings it down to 203 FPS. All of these values indicate that the GPU is heavily underutilized at this resolution, and the limiting factor is likely the game's engine or the CPU's ability to issue draw calls.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. Low settings produce an average of 383 FPS, which is only slightly lower than the 1080p result, showing that the GPU still has plenty of headroom. Medium settings average 275 FPS with a minimum of 234 and a maximum of 317, ensuring a perfectly smooth experience on high refresh rate 1440p monitors. High settings average 228 FPS, which is still well above the 144 Hz standard for gaming displays. Ultra settings reduce the average to 147 FPS, which is playable but shows the first signs of the GPU working harder.

At 3840x2160, the performance curve becomes more pronounced. Low settings average 242 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 530 FPS at 1080p, showing the impact of the increased pixel count. Medium settings average 174 FPS with a minimum of 148 and a maximum of 200, which is a very stable performance profile. High settings average 144 FPS, which is the sweet spot for 4K gaming on most displays. Ultra settings bring the average down to 93 FPS, which is the only setting where the frame rate drops below the 100 FPS threshold, but it remains smooth and responsive.

Settings Recommendations

For players using a high refresh rate 1080p or 1440p monitor, the data suggests that the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. At 1080p, High yields 315 FPS, which is far beyond any display's refresh rate and provides no competitive advantage over the 381 FPS Medium setting. However, the visual improvements are tangible. At 1440p, High produces 228 FPS, which is still well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of most gaming monitors, making it the optimal choice for a crisp and fast experience.

For 4K users, the decision is between High and Ultra. The High preset delivers 144 FPS, which is a perfect match for a 144 Hz 4K display and ensures a buttery-smooth experience. The Ultra preset drops to 93 FPS, which is playable but does not take full advantage of a high refresh rate panel. The data suggests that the visual difference between High and Ultra in this sports title is not worth the 35% performance cost. The Medium preset at 4K, with an average of 174 FPS, is also a strong choice if you want to prioritize frame rate over all else, but High offers a better visual experience for the same practical frame rate.

The Low preset is only recommended for players who are using extremely high refresh rate monitors (240 Hz or higher) and are chasing every possible frame. At 1080p Low, the 530 FPS average is the highest recorded, but the visual quality is severely compromised. For the vast majority of users, the High preset at the native resolution of their display will provide the best experience, as it balances the high frame rates the hardware is capable of with the graphical fidelity that makes the game look modern.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D plays a supporting role in this combo, but it is a critical one. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it provides the necessary compute power to drive the RTX 4090 without bottlenecking. The CPU's base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz are high, but the data suggests that the processor is not the limiting factor in Undisputed. The game's performance scaling from 1080p to 4K is almost entirely dependent on the GPU, as evidenced by the significant frame rate drops when resolution increases.

The CPU's 96 MB of shared L3 cache is a notable feature of the 3D V-Cache design, which helps with gaming performance in CPU-bound scenarios. However, the benchmark results show that the CPU is not heavily taxed in this title. The synthetic benchmarks, such as the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 22807, show that the CPU is very capable, but this power is not fully utilized by Undisputed's engine. The processor's 92nd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it is a top-tier chip, but its nearest rivals, like the Intel Core i9-14900, show nearly identical average scores.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions where the frame rates are extremely high. At 1080p Low, the 530 FPS average suggests that the CPU is working to issue draw calls and update game logic at a rate that exceeds the GPU's rendering speed. The 16 threads ensure that there is no stuttering or frame pacing issues, even at these extreme frame rates. For practical purposes, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D is more than sufficient for Undisputed, providing a stable platform for the RTX 4090 to deliver its full performance. The data confirms that this CPU does not hold the GPU back at any resolution or setting, making it a solid pairing for this game.
