# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 9 5950X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

The benchmark data for Undisputed with the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 shows a configuration that scales predictably across resolutions, with the GPU becoming the primary constraint as pixel count rises. At 1080p, the combo delivers high frame rates across all settings, while 4K Ultra pushes the system to its limits. The measured results, drawn from 12 distinct resolution/settings combinations, reveal a clear pattern: the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory interface shape performance more than the 16-core CPU's capabilities, though the Ryzen 9 5950X ensures no CPU bottleneck appears even at lower resolutions where frame rates peak.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 271 at 1920x1080 to 124 at 3840x2160, a reduction of 147 FPS or roughly 54%. This steep decline indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions; the CPU's 16 cores and 32 threads are not the constraint, as the Ryzen 9 5950X can handle the game's logic and physics well beyond these frame rates.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar but slightly less dramatic in absolute terms. The average FPS drops from 195 at 1080p to 141 at 1440p, then to 89 at 4K. The min-to-max range at 1080p Medium is 166 to 225 FPS, while at 4K Medium it narrows to 76 to 103 FPS. This tightening of the frame time distribution at higher resolutions suggests the GPU is working closer to its sustained limit, with less headroom for variance. The 4K Medium result of 89 FPS is still playable, but the 141 FPS at 1440p Medium shows a clear sweet spot for higher refresh rate displays.

High settings follow the same pattern: 162 FPS at 1080p, 117 FPS at 1440p, and 74 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is about 54%, nearly identical to the Low setting drop. This consistency across Low, Medium, and High indicates that resolution scaling is the dominant factor, not the specific preset's pixel shader load. The RTX 4060's 272.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 128-bit bus are the likely culprits, as higher resolutions require more memory throughput per frame.

Ultra settings show the most severe scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 104, which is already lower than the 4K Medium result of 89. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 75, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 48 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is below the 60 FPS threshold many consider minimum for smooth gameplay. The gap between 1080p Ultra (104) and 4K Ultra (48) is 56 FPS, a 54% reduction again, reinforcing that the GPU's pixel throughput and memory bandwidth are the binding constraints. The data shows no evidence of CPU limitation at any resolution, as even the highest frame rate (271 at 1080p Low) does not approach the CPU's multi-threaded ceiling, which benchmarks like Cinebench R23 multicore at 26017 points suggest is far above what Undisputed demands.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.40 GHz and boost clock reaches 4.90 GHz. In the context of Undisputed, a sports title that typically uses a limited number of threads, this CPU provides massive headroom. The benchmark data shows that at 1080p Low, the average FPS is 271, which is likely near the game's engine limit for frame rate, not the CPU's compute limit.

The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by Cinebench R23 single-core at 1614 points, is robust but not exceptional compared to newer parts. However, it is more than sufficient for Undisputed's gameplay logic. The multi-threaded scores are where the 5950X shines: Cinebench R23 multicore at 26017, Geekbench multicore at 15233, and Passmark multithread at 45424. These scores indicate that even if Undisputed were to spawn numerous background simulation threads, the CPU would not bottleneck. The 64 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are also more than adequate for a sports game.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX (average score 52073, delta -0.2%) and the Intel Core i9-13900F (average score 51730, delta 0.4%). The 5950X's average benchmark score is 51947, placing it at the 91st percentile of all CPUs. This means it outperforms 91% of tested CPUs in synthetic benchmarks, but in Undisputed, the game's frame rates are not constrained by the CPU at any resolution or setting. The evidence is that the FPS drops are uniform across settings when moving from 1080p to 4K, which is a GPU-bound behavior. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect to see frame rates plateau at lower resolutions, but instead they continue to rise to 271 FPS, indicating the CPU is not the constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combos for Undisputed, this configuration (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X + RTX 4060) ranks 2014 out of 3718 total combos. This places it in the 46th percentile of all tested combinations, meaning roughly 46% of combos perform worse and 54% perform better. Given that the RTX 4060 sits at the 61st percentile of all GPUs and the 5950X at the 91st percentile of all CPUs, the combo rank of 2014 suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in determining the overall position. The CPU's high percentile does not boost the combo's rank because Undisputed is not CPU-intensive.

The RTX 4060's nearest GPU rivals in the benchmark database are the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (average score 17666, delta -0.2%), the AMD Radeon 780M (average score 17588, delta 0.3%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 (average score 17551, delta 0.5%). The RTX 4060's average benchmark score is 17639, which is within 0.7% of all these rivals. This clustering indicates that in synthetic GPU benchmarks, the RTX 4060 is comparable to these older or integrated parts, but in Undisputed, the measured FPS suggests the game's engine favors the RTX 4060's architecture, as the 4K Medium result of 89 FPS is respectable for a card with only 8 GB of VRAM.

The combo rank of 2014 means that many combos with lower-end GPUs but higher-tier CPUs (or vice versa) achieve better results in Undisputed. However, the data shows that this combo is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it delivers high frame rates at most settings. At 4K, the Ultra preset is the only setting that drops below 60 FPS, so the combo's rank may reflect that 4K Ultra is a common benchmark target, and the RTX 4060 struggles there.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, specifically the AD107 chip, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. It has 3072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, and 48 ROPs, with 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores. The boost clock is 2460 MHz, and the memory runs at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective) across an 8 GB GDDR6 interface with a 128-bit bus, yielding 272.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The GPU has a TDP of 115 W and requires a 300 W power supply, connecting via a single 12-pin connector.

In Undisputed, the GPU's memory configuration is likely the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at all settings, but at 4K Ultra, the game may be pushing against the VRAM capacity or the 128-bit bus' bandwidth limits. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (48) is only 54% of the 1080p Ultra result (104), which aligns with the pixel count difference (4x) but is mitigated by the game's rendering complexity. The memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s is modest by modern standards, and higher resolutions require more data per frame, which can saturate the bus.

The RTX 4060's synthetic benchmark scores show a GPU that performs at the 61st percentile of all GPUs. Its Passmark G3D score is 19545, and its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 2302. These scores are consistent with a mid-range GPU. In Undisputed, the GPU's performance at 1080p is strong, with 162 FPS at High and 104 at Ultra, suggesting that the game is well-optimized for the Ada Lovelace architecture. However, the 4K Ultra result of 48 FPS indicates that the GPU is not designed for maximum settings at 4K in this title.

The GPU's nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its average benchmark score, which includes older parts like the AMD Radeon HD 7790 and AMD Radeon Pro 560, as well as the integrated AMD Radeon 780M. This is noteworthy because the RTX 4060 is a dedicated discrete GPU, yet its synthetic scores are close to an integrated solution. In Undisputed, however, the RTX 4060's dedicated memory and drivers likely provide an advantage, as the measured FPS at 1080p High (162) is far higher than what an integrated GPU would typically achieve.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset delivers 104 FPS average, which is smooth for most players, but the High preset at 162 FPS offers a significant improvement in frame rate with likely minimal visual difference in a sports title. The Medium preset at 195 FPS is even faster, but the visual quality reduction may not be worth the additional 33 FPS over High. For competitive play or high refresh rate monitors (144Hz+), the High preset at 1080p is the recommended balance, as it exceeds 144 FPS and maintains high visual fidelity.

At 1440p, the High preset averages 117 FPS, which is excellent for most monitors. The Medium preset at 141 FPS is also viable for 144Hz displays, but the Ultra preset at 75 FPS is the lowest acceptable for 60Hz displays. The data shows that 1440p High is the best experience for this combo, as it provides a high frame rate without the visual compromises of Medium or Low. The 4K resolution presents a trade-off: High at 74 FPS is playable, while Ultra at 48 FPS is not. For 4K, the Medium preset at 89 FPS is the recommended choice, as it maintains a smooth experience above 60 FPS while offering improved visuals over Low. The Low preset at 124 FPS is available for those prioritizing frame rate over visual quality, but the Medium preset's min FPS of 76 ensures no major drops.

The Ultra preset is only recommended for 1080p, where it still delivers 104 FPS. At 1440p and 4K, the Ultra preset's frame rates (75 and 48 respectively) are too low for a consistent experience, especially in a sports game where quick reactions matter. The data indicates that the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus are not sufficient for Ultra settings at higher resolutions, so players should adjust expectations accordingly.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), with 12 total data points. At 1920x1080, the Low preset yields an average of 271 FPS, the Medium preset averages 195 FPS with a min of 166 and max of 225, the High preset averages 162 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 104 FPS. The 1080p results show a clear hierarchy, with Low being nearly 2.6x faster than Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 196 FPS, the Medium preset averages 141 FPS with a min of 120 and max of 162, the High preset averages 117 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 75 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings: Low drops from 271 to 196 (a 75 FPS reduction), Medium from 195 to 141 (54 FPS), High from 162 to 117 (45 FPS), and Ultra from 104 to 75 (29 FPS). The absolute reductions decrease as settings increase, which suggests that at higher settings, the GPU is already working harder, so the resolution increase has a proportionally smaller impact on frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 124 FPS, the Medium preset averages 89 FPS with a min of 76 and max of 103, the High preset averages 74 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 48 FPS. The 4K results show that the Medium preset is the only one that remains above 60 FPS with a comfortable margin, while the Ultra preset drops below 50 FPS. The min FPS data at 4K Medium (76) and 1440p Medium (120) and 1080p Medium (166) show that the 1% lows scale proportionally with the average, indicating stable frame pacing without sudden stutters. The max FPS values also scale, from 225 at 1080p Medium to 162 at 1440p Medium to 103 at 4K Medium, confirming that the GPU's performance envelope narrows as resolution increases. This data suggests that players targeting 4K should use Medium settings, while 1440p and 1080p users can choose between High and Ultra based on their refresh rate and visual preferences.
