How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 9 5950X and RTX 4080 achieves a rank of 246 out of 3,718 tested combinations in Undisputed. This is a top-tier result, placing the system in the 93rd percentile of all tested configurations. The data indicates this pairing is exceptionally well-suited for the game, providing frame rates that far exceed standard display refresh rates at most settings.

The ranking reflects the synergy between the two components. The RTX 4080, with its average benchmark score of 54,247, is a high-end graphics card that sits at the 86th percentile of all GPUs. The Ryzen 9 5950X, with an average score of 51,947, sits at the 91st percentile of all CPUs. When combined, their performance in this specific title is better than the vast majority of other pairings, suggesting that the game leverages the strengths of both components effectively.

The nearest CPU rivals provide a useful context for the processor's contribution. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX is only 0.2% faster on average, while the Intel Core i9-13900F is 0.4% slower. These minute differences indicate that the 5950X is in a performance tier where CPU choice has a negligible impact on overall system ranking, especially when paired with a GPU of the RTX 4080's caliber. The performance headroom provided by the 16-core processor ensures that the GPU is the primary determinant of frame rates in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this configuration for Undisputed. The data shows that the GPU's capabilities directly dictate the frame rates at higher resolutions and settings. The card features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. This memory configuration is more than sufficient for the textures and assets used in the game at all tested settings.

The GPU's clock speeds are notable: a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz. These high clocks, combined with 9,728 shading units, allow the card to process the game's rendering workload efficiently. The GPU's benchmark scores support this, with a Passmark G3D score of 34,457 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 263,779. The RTX 4080's nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, is only 0.1% faster, confirming that this card is at the very peak of its performance tier.

At 4K resolution, the GPU's role becomes even more critical. The average frame rate drops from 184 FPS at 1080p Ultra to 84 FPS at 4K Ultra. This 54% reduction in performance demonstrates that the rendering resolution has a massive impact on the GPU's workload. The 16 GB of VRAM ensures that even at 4K Ultra, there is no memory-related stuttering, allowing the GPU to maintain a consistent, albeit lower, frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings.

1080p Performance:

• Low: 479 FPS average
• Medium: 345 FPS average (min 293, max 396)
• High: 285 FPS average
• Ultra: 184 FPS average

At 1080p, the system is heavily CPU-bound at lower settings. The jump from 285 FPS at High to 479 FPS at Low (a 68% increase) shows that the CPU and game engine can push frame rates far beyond what the GPU is capable of at higher settings. The 184 FPS at Ultra is still exceptionally high and will saturate any standard 144Hz or 240Hz display.

1440p Performance:

• Low: 346 FPS average
• Medium: 249 FPS average (min 212, max 286)
• High: 206 FPS average
• Ultra: 133 FPS average

The transition to 1440p shows the GPU beginning to take on a more significant load. The difference between Low and Ultra is 213 FPS, a smaller absolute gap than at 1080p. The 133 FPS at Ultra remains highly playable and is a strong result for a demanding resolution.

4K Performance:

• Low: 219 FPS average
• Medium: 158 FPS average (min 134, max 181)
• High: 130 FPS average
• Ultra: 84 FPS average

At 4K, the GPU is the clear limiting factor. The Ultra preset produces 84 FPS, which is a comfortable frame rate for most gaming scenarios. The data shows a linear progression from Ultra to Low, with each settings tier adding roughly 35-50 FPS. This indicates that the GPU's raw compute power is the primary constraint at this resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data suggests that the optimal balance of visual fidelity and frame rate depends heavily on the target display resolution.

For 4K displays, the High preset is the recommended choice. It provides an average of 130 FPS, which is a significant improvement over the 84 FPS at Ultra. The visual difference between High and Ultra in a fast-paced sports title is often minimal, while the 55% frame rate increase ensures a smoother experience. The Medium preset at 158 FPS is also a viable option for players who prioritize higher refresh rates over maximum visual detail.

For 1440p displays, the Ultra preset is highly recommended. The 133 FPS average is sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors, and the system has enough overhead to maintain this performance without significant drops. Players with 240Hz displays may prefer the High preset, which achieves 206 FPS, providing a substantial margin for frame time consistency.

For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset is the clear choice. The 184 FPS average is more than enough to take advantage of any high-refresh-rate monitor. The lower settings provide diminishing returns in terms of playability, as the frame rates are already so high that further increases are not perceptible to the human eye. The data shows that even at Ultra, the system is not fully GPU-bound at 1080p, meaning the CPU is successfully delivering frames without being a bottleneck.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X plays a crucial supporting role in this configuration. With 16 cores and 32 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, it provides massive processing power. The CPU's base clock is 3.40 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. This combination of high core count and high clock speed ensures that the CPU can handle any background tasks or game logic without interfering with frame delivery.

The CPU's benchmark results are impressive. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26,017 and single-core score of 1,614 indicate strong performance in both heavily-threaded and lightly-threaded workloads. The Passmark multi-thread score of 45,424 further confirms its capability. The CPU's nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX, is only 0.2% faster on average, showing that the 5950X is competitive with newer processor designs.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 479 FPS, which confirms the CPU's ability to feed frames to the GPU. The game's simulation and physics calculations can utilize the 16 cores effectively, preventing any CPU-related stutters or drops. The 5950X's 64 MB of L3 cache also helps to reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for the game's data-heavy operations.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a clear and expected pattern of performance scaling as resolution increases. The average frame rates at Ultra settings across the three resolutions are:

• 1080p: 184 FPS
• 1440p: 133 FPS
• 4K: 84 FPS

This represents a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 37% drop from 1440p to 4K. The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 54%. This scaling indicates that the system is increasingly GPU-bound as resolution increases.

At 1080p, the frame rate is likely limited by the CPU's ability to process the game logic and issue draw calls. The GPU has enough headroom to render frames much faster than the CPU can provide them. As resolution increases, the GPU's rendering workload grows, and the CPU's limitations become less relevant. At 4K, the GPU is fully saturated, and the 84 FPS at Ultra represents the maximum output of the RTX 4080 in this title.

This behavior is characteristic of a balanced system. The 5950X provides enough processing power to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 4080 at higher resolutions, while the GPU's performance scales predictably with resolution. The result is a system that offers excellent performance across the board, from high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming to smooth 4K experiences.
