CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process. Its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz provide the foundational processing power for the system. The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and a shared 64 MB of L3 cache, which helps reduce memory latency in games.

In the context of Undisputed, a sports title, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and AI. The benchmark results indicate that the processor is not a bottleneck at most settings. Evidence of this is seen in the frame rate scaling: at 1080p, going from Low to Ultra settings reduces the average FPS from 373.4 to 145.6. This scaling pattern suggests that the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor as graphical load increases, while the CPU maintains a sufficient frame throughput. The CPU's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a 3dMark_single_thread score of 1093, is crucial for maintaining high frame rates in scenarios where game logic is the limiting factor.

The processor's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s and support for DDR5 memory ensures that data can be fed to the GPU efficiently. The 7900X's performance in synthetic benchmarks, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 43695, demonstrates its capability in multi-threaded workloads, though the impact on this specific game is more nuanced. The data from the measured FPS suggests that at 4K Ultra, the system's performance is likely constrained by the GPU, as the frame rate drops significantly compared to lower settings.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture and features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 912.4 GB/s. The GPU's base clock is 1365 MHz, with a boost clock of 1665 MHz. Its high memory bandwidth is particularly relevant for high-resolution gaming, as it allows for the rapid transfer of texture and geometry data.

The GPU's role in Undisputed is dominant, especially at higher resolutions and settings. The measured FPS data shows a clear correlation between graphical load and performance. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 373.4, which drops to 222.4 at High and 145.6 at Ultra. This pattern is consistent at 1440p and 4K, indicating that the RTX 3080 Ti is the primary driver of frame rates.

The RTX 3080 Ti holds an 83rd percentile ranking among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which has an average score 0.5% higher, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, which is 1.1% higher. This data suggests that while the RTX 3080 Ti is a high-end card, it is not at the absolute top of the performance hierarchy. The GPU's 10,240 shading units and 80 RT cores contribute to its raw rendering power, which is reflected in its ability to achieve 102.9 FPS at 4K High settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance. With Low settings, the average FPS is 373.4. This drops to 271.1 on Medium, 222.4 on High, and 145.6 on Ultra. The data shows that even at the highest settings, the frame rate remains well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong. Low settings yield an average of 269.7 FPS. Medium settings produce 197.3 FPS, High settings 158.9 FPS, and Ultra settings 102.8 FPS. The frame rate at 1440p Ultra is nearly identical to the 4K High result (102.9 FPS), indicating that the graphical load is comparable between these two configurations.

At 3840x2160, the performance is more varied. Low settings achieve 169.8 FPS, and Medium settings drop to 125.5 FPS. High settings maintain a solid 102.9 FPS, but Ultra settings bring the average down to 65.8 FPS. This is the only configuration where the average frame rate falls below 100 FPS, suggesting that 4K Ultra is the most demanding scenario for this hardware combination. The scaling from High to Ultra at 4K represents a 36% reduction in frame rate, highlighting the significant cost of the highest quality preset.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's overall performance in Undisputed is quantified by its rank of 413 out of 1580 tested combinations. This places the system in the top 26% of all tested hardware pairs, indicating a strong, above-average standing.

The CPU's individual performance, as measured by its average benchmark score of 50556, is closely matched by its nearest rivals. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235 has an average score that is 0.1% lower, while the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT is 0.4% lower. This data shows that the 7900X is competitive with other high-end processors in general compute tasks, though its ranking in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs suggests it is a top-tier part.

For the GPU, its average benchmark score of 41224 places it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which is 0.5% higher, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300, which is 0.9% higher. The RTX 3080 Ti's ranking in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs indicates that while it is a high-performance part, there are faster options available.

The combination of a top-tier CPU and a high-end GPU results in a system that performs well above the median in the database. The rank of 413 out of 1580 confirms that this pairing is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, and it remains capable at 4K with adjusted settings. The data suggests that for the absolute highest frame rates at 4K Ultra, other combinations would be required, but for the vast majority of gaming scenarios, this system provides a strong balance of processing and rendering power.
