A: At 2560x1440, Medium averages 249 FPS (min 212, max 286) while High averages 206 FPS. That is a 43 FPS drop for High, but both remain well above 200 FPS, so the visual upgrade costs little in practical smoothness.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's 246th place out of 3,718 tested systems places it in the 93rd percentile of test configurations. This is a strong result, but the data reveals that the combination is not at the absolute apex for Undisputed. The top 246 systems include configurations with more recent flagship GPUs, so this pairing falls into the "upper mid-range to high-end" bracket rather than the absolute top tier.

The gap to the next rivals is minimal. The Ryzen 9 7900X's nearest CPU rivals are all within a 0.6% margin in average benchmark score, meaning that the CPU choice is not the limiting factor here. The GPU's nearest rivals are also close, with the RTX 4080 SUPER being only 0.1% behind and the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X 1.1% ahead. This clustering indicates that the combo's performance is consistently near the top of the scale, but with a few systems that edge it out by small margins.

The rank of 246 out of 3718 is particularly telling when you consider that the game is a sports title, which often favors higher single-threaded performance. The Ryzen 9 7900X's single-core scores (2016.5 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 4238 in Passmark single-thread) are strong but not class-leading. The RTX 4080's strengths in this title will be more about raw rendering capacity than fine-grained CPU-bound optimization. Overall, this is a combo that will handle Undisputed with no issues at any resolution, but it is not the very fastest system for this specific game.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 has 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with a bandwidth of 716.8 GB/s. This memory configuration is far above the needs of a sports title at 1080p, but at 4K the 16 GB buffer allows high texture quality without dropping below the 84 FPS floor at Ultra settings. The memory clock runs at 1400 MHz, which translates to 22.4 Gbps effective, and this helps sustain the bandwidth needed for high-resolution textures.

The GPU's boost clock is 2505 MHz with a base of 2205 MHz. The shading units number 9728, with 304 tensor cores and 76 RT cores, and the FP32 performance is 48.74 TFLOPS. These figures show that the GPU is capable of high throughput in both rasterized and ray-traced workloads, though the game does not appear to be a demanding ray-tracing title based on the measured frames.

The RTX 4080's performance in the benchmarks is a score of 6567 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, a Geekbench Vulkan score of 263779, and a Passmark G3D score of 34457. These numbers confirm that the GPU is above the 86th percentile of all GPUs, and the nearest rival in terms of average score is the RTX 4080 SUPER at 0.1% difference. The GPU's 16 GB VRAM is enough to handle the highest resolutions and settings in this game without memory-related stutter, as the measured data shows consistent FPS even at 4K Ultra.

The GPU's transistor count is 45,900 million on a 379 mm² die, which is a dense design. The TDP of 320 W is significant, but the suggested 700 W PSU is sufficient for most systems. The data shows that the RTX 4080 is a strong performer for Undisputed, and the 16 GB VRAM is a buffer that prevents any memory ceiling at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the combo delivers:

• Low: 219 FPS average – this is far beyond the refresh rate of most high-end monitors.
• Medium: 158 FPS average, with a minimum of 134 FPS and a maximum of 181 FPS – this is an excellent 4K experience, with no dips below 134 that would cause stutter on a 144 Hz screen.
• High: 130 FPS average – still very smooth, though the min/max not recorded.
• Ultra: 84 FPS average – this remains playable, but the 84 average is close to the 60 FPS floor for some users, and the lack of a recorded min means you might see dips.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the data shows:

• Low: 346 FPS average – this is extremely high, but the min/max is not recorded.
• Medium: 249 FPS average, with a min of 212 and a max of 286 – this is a sweet spot for high-refresh gaming.
• High: 206 FPS average – still very good, but the min/max is not recorded.
• Ultra: 133 FPS average – this is above 120 FPS, so it is suitable for 120Hz monitors.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the results are:

• Low: 479 FPS average – this is a huge number, but the min/max is not recorded.
• Medium: 345 FPS average, with a min of 293 and a max of 396 – the min is above 293, which is very high.
• High: 285 FPS average – this is above 240 FPS, so it can drive a 240Hz monitor.
• Ultra: 184 FPS average – still above 144Hz, and the min/max is not recorded.

The pattern is clear: the combo is overkill for 1080p, and even at 4K it holds above 84 FPS on the highest settings. The min FPS at 4K Medium is 134, which is a 0.2% drop from the average, indicating consistent performance. At 1440p, the min at Medium is 212, which is a 15% drop from the average, but still high. The lack of min data for Low and High settings at most resolutions suggests that the GPU is not bottlenecked in those scenarios.

Settings Recommendations

For 3840x2160, the "Medium" preset with an average of 158 FPS and a min of 134 is the best balance of visual fidelity and smoothness. The Ultra preset drops to 84 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a sports game where reaction time matters. The High preset at 130 FPS is also good, but Medium offers a 28 FPS advantage with a min that is 4 FPS higher than the High average. If you have a 144Hz 4K monitor, Medium is the right choice.

At 2560x1440, the "Medium" preset gives 249 FPS average and a min of 212, which is far above the 144Hz mark. The High preset at 206 FPS is also excellent, but the Medium's min of 212 vs. High's average of 206 shows that Medium is more consistent. For 1440p, Medium is the sweet spot.

At 1920x1080, the "High" preset at 285 FPS is enough for a 240Hz monitor, but if you have a 360Hz monitor, the "Medium" preset at 345 FPS is better. The Ultra preset at 184 FPS is still above 144Hz, so it is not a bad choice, but the Medium preset's 345 FPS average with a min of 293 makes it the best for extreme refresh rates.

The data suggests that the Ultra preset is never the best choice for competitive play, as the FPS drops are significant. For a sports game with fast action, you want a consistent high FPS, so the Medium preset at 4K and 1440p, and High at 1080p, are the best recommendations.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. It belongs to the 7000 series (Zen 4, Raphael architecture) on a 5 nm process with 13,140 million transistors. The 64 MB L3 cache is shared, and each core has 64 KB of L1 and 1 MB of L2 cache. The memory support is DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and 83.2 GB/s bandwidth.

For Undisputed, the single-threaded performance is crucial for AI and physics calculations. The CPU's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2016.5 and 3DMark single-thread score of 1093 show that it is strong in this area, but not the absolute fastest. The multi-core scores are more impressive: a 29,300 in Cinebench R23 multicore, 19,267 in Geekbench multicore, and a 12,536 in 3DMark max-threads. These scores indicate that the CPU can handle the background tasks and any streaming workloads without impacting the main game thread.

The 24 threads could be useful for games that use multiple cores for crowd physics or animations, but the measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the primary driver of performance. The CPU's average benchmark score is 53,288, with a percentile of 91, and its nearest rival scores are all within a 0.6% difference. This means that the CPU is not a performance bottleneck, and the combo's 246th rank is more about the GPU's relative position than the CPU.

The CPU's TDP is 170W, which is moderate for a 12-core part, and it supports PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes. The combination with the RTX 4080 means that the CPU will not saturate the PCIe 4.0 x16 bus, and the 64 MB L3 cache helps with random access patterns in the game. The CPU's single-core performance is above the 91st percentile, but the game's engine likely does not benefit from more than 8 threads, so the 12 cores are not fully utilized in this title. Overall, the CPU is not a weak link, but it is also not the reason for the high FPS numbers, which are driven by the GPU's massive compute power.
