Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a highly playable experience across all tested resolutions in Undisputed, with the data showing a clear GPU-bound ceiling at 4K and a CPU-strong performance at 1080p. The combo ranks in the 39th percentile of all tested configurations for this title, indicating solid but not top-tier standing, with the CPU’s 16-core/32-thread design providing ample headroom while the GPU becomes the primary limiter at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable yet important scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 242 FPS, which drops to 175 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 111 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 54% reduction in performance from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the RTX 4060 is the limiting component as resolution increases, while the Ryzen 9 8945HX maintains sufficient frame throughput to avoid becoming a bottleneck.

For High settings, the scaling is even more pronounced: 144 FPS at 1080p falls to 104 FPS at 1440p and then to 66 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result sits just above the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that this resolution/settings combination is playable but leaves little margin for demanding scenes. The gap between 1080p and 1440p at High settings is 40 FPS, while the gap from 1440p to 4K is 38 FPS, showing a consistent performance degradation per resolution step.

Medium settings exhibit the same trend with slightly higher absolute values: 174 FPS at 1080p, 126 FPS at 1440p, and 80 FPS at 4K. The 4K Medium result is notably stronger than 4K High, indicating that the GPU’s 8 GB memory and 128-bit bus are sufficient for Medium but strained by higher quality presets. Ultra settings are the most demanding, with 93 FPS at 1080p, 67 FPS at 1440p, and only 42 FPS at 4K — the latter being the only measured configuration that falls below playable standards.

The scaling pattern strongly suggests a GPU-limited scenario. The CPU’s high single-core performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6030 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3907, ensures that even at 1080p Low with 242 FPS, the processor can feed frames without becoming the constraint. However, at 4K Ultra, the 42 FPS result shows the RTX 4060’s raw compute limits, as the GPU’s 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 272.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are insufficient for the highest preset at this resolution.

FAQ

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the data strongly recommends Medium settings at 2560x1440. This configuration produces 126 FPS with a minimum of 107 FPS and maximum of 145 FPS, offering smooth gameplay without the visual compromises of Low settings. The 4K Medium result of 80 FPS is also acceptable for players prioritizing resolution over detail, though it leaves less headroom for frame drops.

At 1920x1080, Medium settings provide 174 FPS with a minimum of 148 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The jump to High at 1080p reduces the average to 144 FPS, a 17% decrease that may not justify the visual gains for competitive players. Low settings at 1080p push the frame rate to 242 FPS, but the visual degradation is significant and only recommended for esports-style play.

Ultra settings are not recommended for any resolution due to the substantial performance penalty. At 1440p, Ultra produces 67 FPS, which is only 53% of the Medium preset’s frame rate. At 4K, Ultra’s 42 FPS is unplayable, and even the 93 FPS at 1080p Ultra does not compensate for the 46% drop from Medium. The measured data indicates that Medium is the sweet spot for this combo, offering the best ratio of visual fidelity to frame rate across all three resolutions.

For players with 4K displays, Medium settings are the clear choice, as High’s 66 FPS is borderline while Ultra’s 42 FPS is unusable. The 80 FPS at 4K Medium provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, and the minimum data point of 68 FPS confirms that the experience remains stable during intense sequences.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 achieves a rank of 1704 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 39.4th percentile. This ranking is primarily driven by the GPU’s mid-range positioning, as the RTX 4060’s average benchmark score of 17639 and 61st percentile versus all GPUs indicate a capable but not exceptional graphics processor. The CPU, by contrast, ranks in the 95th percentile versus all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 76212, suggesting that the processor is significantly stronger than the graphics card in this pairing.

The 2813 tested combos include a wide range of hardware configurations, and this rank of 1704 places the combo below the median performance tier. This is consistent with the GPU’s nearest rivals, which include the AMD Radeon 780M with a delta of 0.3% and the AMD Radeon Pro 560 with a 0.5% delta — all within a narrow performance band. The combo’s position suggests that while it handles Undisputed well at 1080p and 1440p, it does not compete with higher-end GPU pairings that can maintain 4K Ultra frame rates.

The rank also reflects the game’s relatively low graphical demands compared to other titles in the database. The fact that this combo achieves 66 FPS at 4K High is a strong result for the RTX 4060, but the 42 FPS at 4K Ultra reveals the hardware’s limitations. For players seeking to maximize this combo’s position, focusing on 1440p Medium or High settings will yield the most competitive frame rates relative to the hardware’s capability.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, manufactured on TSMC’s 5 nm process. Its base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz, combined with 64 MB of L3 cache, provide substantial processing power for gaming workloads. The CPU’s Passmark multithread score of 51405 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 42713 place it in the 95th percentile versus all CPUs, indicating that it is a top-tier mobile processor.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is to maintain a stable frame delivery rate, and the data shows it performs this task admirably. At 1080p Low, the 242 FPS result demonstrates that the CPU can feed frames to the GPU without creating a bottleneck. The single-core performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6030 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3907, ensures that the game’s primary game logic thread runs efficiently. The 16-core configuration also provides headroom for background tasks and streaming, though this is not directly measurable from the FPS data.

The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s over a dual-channel DDR5 interface is adequate for this game, as the FPS results show no signs of memory starvation even at high frame rates. The processor’s 5 nm process node and 55 W TDP indicate efficient power usage, though power consumption is not a factor in the FPS measurements. The data suggests that upgrading the CPU would not improve Undisputed performance, as the GPU is the limiting factor at all resolutions above 1080p Low.
