FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution to play Undisputed at with this combo?*

A: The data shows playable performance at all tested resolutions. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates range from 94.8 (Ultra) to 252 (Low). At 2560x1440, the range is 151.4 to 399.6, and at 1920x1080 it spans from 213 to 550.8. The ideal choice depends on whether you prefer maximum visual fidelity or the highest possible frame rates, but 4K Ultra is viable at 94.8 FPS.

Q: How much faster is the Ryzen 9 7900X than its nearest rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 9 7900X has an average benchmark score of 50,556. Its closest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 235, scores 50,598, which is a delta of -0.1% from the AMD chip. This means the Ryzen 9 7900X is effectively tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 in overall synthetic performance, with a negligible 0.1% difference.

Q: What is the GPU's average benchmark score and how does it compare to the competition?

A: The RTX 5090 achieves an average benchmark score of 84,306. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D scores 84,241 (0.1% higher), the RTX 5050 Mobile scores 84,171 (0.2% higher), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 scores 83,209 (1.3% higher). The NVIDIA CMP 40HX scores 85,637, which is 1.6% higher than the RTX 5090.

Q: Does this system hit 240 FPS at 1440p?

A: Yes, at 2560x1440 with High settings, the average frame rate is 239.6. To comfortably exceed 240 FPS, you would need to drop to Medium settings, which yields 283.8 FPS, or Low settings, which produces 399.6 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, the frame rate drops to 151.4 FPS.

Q: What is the CPU's single-threaded performance relative to its multi-threaded score?

A: The Ryzen 9 7900X scores 6,168 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 43,695 in multi-core. The multi-core score is roughly 7.1 times higher than the single-core score, reflecting the 12-core, 24-thread configuration. In Passmark, the single-thread score is 4,238 while the multi-thread score is 51,406.

Q: What is the memory bandwidth of this CPU?

A: The Ryzen 9 7900X supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. This is the total bandwidth available to the CPU for data transfer to and from system memory.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data indicates that the Ultra preset is the most demanding, with average frame rates of 94.8 at 4K, 151.4 at 1440p, and 213 at 1080p. While these numbers are all playable, the High preset offers a significantly better balance of visual quality and performance. At 4K High, the average frame rate jumps to 149.5, which is nearly 58% higher than Ultra. The trend continues at lower resolutions: 1440p High hits 239.6 FPS compared to 151.4 on Ultra, and 1080p High reaches 324.8 versus 213 on Ultra.

For the best experience, the data suggests using the High preset. It provides a substantial performance uplift over Ultra while presumably retaining most of the visual enhancements. The jump from High to Medium is also significant, with 4K Medium hitting 180.7 FPS and 1440p Medium hitting 283.8. However, the visual downgrade from High to Medium is generally more noticeable than the jump from Ultra to High. Given that all High settings produce frame rates well above 144, this is the recommended preset for a smooth and visually rich experience. If you have a 240Hz monitor and want to max it out, dropping to Medium at 1440p will push you past 280 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the dominant component in this pairing for Undisputed. Its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the game's textures at 4K. The GPU also features 21,760 shading units and 176 ROPs, enabling a pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s. These specifications translate directly into the high frame rates observed.

The GPU's clock speeds are 2,017 MHz base and 2,407 MHz boost. The data shows a clear scaling pattern: at 4K, moving from Low (252 FPS) to Medium (180.7) to High (149.5) to Ultra (94.8) shows the GPU being increasingly taxed. The performance gap between High and Ultra is the largest, suggesting that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily load the GPU. The RTX 5090's FP32 performance of 104.8 TFLOPS ensures that even at 4K Ultra, the game remains playable, but the frame rate drop from High to Ultra indicates a significant increase in rendering complexity. The GPU's 94th percentile ranking versus all GPUs confirms its top-tier status, though its nearest rivals are very close in average synthetic scores.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 achieves a rank of 7 out of 1,580 tested combos for Undisputed. This is a top-tier result, placing the system in the 99.6th percentile of all tested configurations. The ranking suggests that this pairing is not just fast, but optimally balanced for this game's engine. The fact that it ranks 7th out of 1,580 indicates that only a handful of other CPU-GPU pairings can outperform it in this title.

Given the CPU's average benchmark score of 50,556 (93rd percentile) and the GPU's average score of 84,306 (94th percentile), the combo ranking of 7th suggests a synergistic effect. Neither component is a bottleneck; they work together to deliver the high frame rates seen in the measured data. The proximity of the CPU and GPU rivals in synthetic benchmarks (all within 1.6% of their respective averages) highlights that the ranking is a result of the combination's real-world game performance, not just raw compute power.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X plays a supporting role in this gaming-focused benchmark, but it is far from a weak link. With 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, it provides ample processing power. The core configuration is more than sufficient for Undisputed, which is a sports title that likely doesn't scale perfectly across 24 threads. The CPU's high boost clock of 5.6 GHz is crucial for maintaining high frame rates, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is less of a bottleneck.

The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 550.8 FPS, which is a clear indicator of the CPU's ability to feed the GPU quickly. The multi-threaded performance is strong, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 43,695, but the single-core score of 6,168 is more relevant for this game. The Ryzen 9 7900X's 3DMark scores also reflect a balanced profile: 10,972 for 16 threads and 1,093 for a single thread. While the CPU is not the primary driver of performance in this GPU-bound scenario, its high single-thread performance ensures that it does not hold back the RTX 5090. The 64 MB of shared L3 cache also helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for maintaining consistent frame times.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the average frame rates are as follows:

• Low: 252 FPS
• Medium: 180.7 FPS
• High: 149.5 FPS
• Ultra: 94.8 FPS

The gap between Medium and High is 31.2 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 54.7 FPS. This indicates that the Ultra preset is substantially more demanding than High.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the average frame rates are:

• Low: 399.6 FPS
• Medium: 283.8 FPS
• High: 239.6 FPS
• Ultra: 151.4 FPS

The scaling from Low to Ultra is consistent, with each step down in settings providing a significant boost. The jump from High to Ultra is 88.2 FPS, reinforcing that Ultra is a heavy load.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the average frame rates are:

• Low: 550.8 FPS
• Medium: 396.9 FPS
• High: 324.8 FPS
• Ultra: 213 FPS

At 1080p, the system is clearly CPU-limited at Low settings, as the frame rate exceeds what most displays can show. The performance drop from Low to Medium is 153.9 FPS, which is the largest single-step reduction across all resolutions. The data consistently shows that the High preset offers the best balance, with frame rates ranging from 149.5 at 4K to 324.8 at 1080p, making it the most versatile choice for different display capabilities.
