Undisputed

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER lands at rank 1069 out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed. That places this combo in the lower-middle tier of the database — roughly the 68th percentile of all tested pairings. The ranking reflects a system that can handle the game comfortably at most settings, but it is not positioned among the high-end performers. The RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 9 7900X is far stronger at the 93rd percentile among all CPUs. This imbalance — a top-tier processor paired with a mid-range graphics card — explains why the combo's overall rank is dragged down by the GPU's relative standing. Benchmark results indicate the CPU is rarely the limiting factor; the GPU dictates the experience in this title.

GPU Role

The RTX 2060 SUPER brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock runs at 1470 MHz with a boost up to 1650 MHz. These specifications are modest by current standards, and the data confirms it: the card scores 19774 on average across all benchmark tests, with a PassMark G3D score of 16462 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2011. In Undisputed specifically, the GPU's 8 GB frame buffer becomes a deciding factor at higher resolutions and quality presets. The card's nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, scores 19706 — a mere 0.3% difference — indicating the RTX 2060 SUPER is performing right at its expected level. The RTX 2070 trails by 0.5%, and the Quadro K5200 by 0.8%, so there is no headroom above this card in its immediate class. The 175 W TDP and dual-slot design are typical for this generation, but the raw compute throughput of 7.181 TFLOPS FP32 is what ultimately constrains frame rates in a physics-heavy sports sim like Undisputed.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: performance drops consistently as resolution increases, but the rate of decline accelerates at the highest settings. At Low settings, the combo delivers 229.2 FPS at 1080p, 168.7 FPS at 1440p, and 104.8 FPS at 4K — a drop of 26% from 1080p to 1440p and another 38% from 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the numbers are 136 FPS, 100.3 FPS, and 65.8 FPS respectively, showing a similar proportional decline. The Ultra preset tells a more dramatic story: 88 FPS at 1080p falls to 65.2 FPS at 1440p (a 26% reduction) and then to 40.3 FPS at 4K (a 38% reduction from 1440p). This scaling behavior indicates the GPU is the primary bottleneck across all resolutions. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect frame rates to plateau at lower resolutions; instead, they continue climbing to 229.2 FPS at 1080p Low, which proves the Ryzen 9 7900X has ample headroom. The 12-core, 24-thread processor with a 5.60 GHz boost clock is not being stressed by this game at any resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo achieves its highest frame rates. Low settings produce 229.2 FPS average, Medium hits 165.9 FPS, High reaches 136 FPS, and Ultra drops to 88 FPS. These numbers show that even the most demanding preset at 1080p remains comfortably playable on a high-refresh monitor, though Ultra is significantly more taxing than High — a 48 FPS gap that suggests the Ultra preset enables effects that heavily load the GPU.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance picture shifts. Low settings still deliver a strong 168.7 FPS, Medium manages 122.2 FPS, High falls to 100.3 FPS, and Ultra drops to 65.2 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 26-27 FPS at Low, 44 FPS at Medium, 36 FPS at High, and 23 FPS at Ultra. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the first configuration that approaches the edge of smooth gameplay, though 65.2 FPS remains acceptable for most players.

At 3840x2160, the limitations become apparent. Low settings yield 104.8 FPS, Medium produces 78.5 FPS, High drops to 65.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 40.3 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, making it unsuitable for smooth play. The gap between 1080p Ultra (88 FPS) and 4K Ultra (40.3 FPS) represents a 54% reduction, underscoring how resolution scaling taxes the RTX 2060 SUPER's 8 GB memory and 7.181 TFLOPS compute capacity.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Undisputed at 4K?

A: Yes, but only at lower settings. At 4K Low, the average FPS is 104.8, and at 4K Medium it drops to 78.5. At 4K High it falls to 65.8, while 4K Ultra produces just 40.3 FPS — below the smooth-play threshold.

Q: What is the best resolution for this pairing?

A: 1440p offers the best balance. At 1440p High, the combo delivers 100.3 FPS, and even Ultra maintains 65.2 FPS. This resolution avoids the steep penalties seen at 4K while still providing a sharp image.

Q: How does the RTX 2060 SUPER compare to its closest rivals in this game?

A: The GPU's average benchmark score of 19774 is only 0.3% above the GTX TITAN (19706), 0.5% above the RTX 2070 (19680), and 0.8% above the Quadro K5200 (19623). This indicates the card performs exactly as expected for its class.

Q: Is the CPU holding back performance in Undisputed?

A: No. The Ryzen 9 7900X scores 50556 on average across all benchmarks, placing it at the 93rd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235, scores 50598 (0.1% higher), so the CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution tested.

Q: What frame rate can I expect at 1080p with High settings?

A: The measured average is 136 FPS. This is well above the 60 FPS standard and remains smooth even on 144 Hz displays, making 1080p High an excellent choice for competitive play.

Q: How much performance does Ultra cost compared to High?

A: At 1080p, Ultra (88 FPS) is 35% slower than High (136 FPS). At 1440p, the penalty is 35% as well (65.2 vs. 100.3 FPS). At 4K, Ultra (40.3 FPS) is 39% slower than High (65.8 FPS).

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to High at 1440p as the optimal configuration for this combo. It delivers 100.3 FPS — smooth, responsive, and visually rich — while leaving headroom above the 60 FPS floor. At 1080p, High settings are equally compelling at 136 FPS, making that the best choice for players prioritizing maximum frame rates. The Ultra preset is not worth the cost: at 1080p it drops to 88 FPS, at 1440p to 65.2 FPS, and at 4K to 40.3 FPS. The visual upgrade from High to Ultra does not justify a 35% performance penalty at most resolutions. For players with a 4K display, Medium settings (78.5 FPS) provide the best playable experience, as High drops to 65.8 FPS and Ultra becomes unplayable. Low settings are only recommended for extreme frame-rate targets, such as 229.2 FPS at 1080p, which may benefit high-refresh competitive play but sacrifices too much visual fidelity for general use.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture, built on TSMC's 5 nm process. It operates at a 4.70 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.60 GHz, with 64 MB of shared L3 cache. Its benchmark scores are exceptional: Cinebench R23 multi-core reaches 43695, single-core hits 6168, and PassMark multithread scores 51406. The CPU sits at the 93rd percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 50556. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235, scores 50598 — just 0.1% higher — while the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT is 0.4% lower and the Intel Core i9-13980HX is 0.8% lower. In Undisputed, this CPU is never the limiting component. The evidence is clear: at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 229.2 FPS, which would be impossible if the processor were a bottleneck. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU delivers only 40.3 FPS, the CPU has ample capacity to feed frames faster than the GPU can render them. The 170 W TDP and DDR5 memory support (83.2 GB/s bandwidth) further ensure that memory bandwidth and multi-threaded workloads are not constraints in this sports title. The Ryzen 9 7900X is overqualified for Undisputed, but it provides future-proofing for more demanding games and ensures that any performance ceiling in this combo is entirely attributable to the RTX 2060 SUPER.
