Undisputed

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows for Undisputed reveal a clear hierarchy across presets, and the data suggests that High is the sweet spot for this AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination. At 1080p, High delivers 220 FPS average, which is 79 FPS behind Low (369 FPS) but 79 FPS ahead of Ultra (141 FPS). The gap between Medium (265 FPS) and High (220 FPS) is 45 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is also 79 FPS — indicating diminishing returns once you step below High.

At 1440p, High maintains 159 FPS average, which remains comfortably above the 144Hz refresh rate commonly targeted by gamers. Medium sits at 192 FPS, but the visual uplift from Medium to High is likely more perceptible than the 33 FPS loss. Ultra drops to 102 FPS, which is still playable but sacrifices 57 FPS compared to High — a 36% reduction for what is often marginal image quality gains in a sports title.

The 4K results reinforce this recommendation. High at 4K produces 100 FPS average, which is exactly playable for smooth gameplay. Medium achieves 121 FPS, but the jump from High to Medium only gains 21 FPS. Ultra at 4K falls to 65 FPS, which is a 35 FPS loss from High — a 35% penalty. Low at 4K reaches 169 FPS, but the visual downgrade in a sports game with character models and arena details would be noticeable.

The data indicates that High provides the best balance of visual fidelity and performance across all three resolutions. The Medium preset offers only marginal FPS gains over High, while Ultra imposes substantial penalties that are not justified by the frame rate returns. For competitive play where maximum frame rates matter, Low at 1440p (266 FPS) or 1080p (369 FPS) could be considered, but the measured numbers show High keeps every resolution above 100 FPS, which is the baseline for smooth gameplay in this genre.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 brings 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is directly relevant to Undisputed’s results at 4K, where the Ultra preset drops to 65 FPS — a 35% reduction from High’s 100 FPS. The GPU’s 10752 shading units and 112 ROPs handle the pixel throughput, with a pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s.

The RTX 5080’s boost clock of 2617 MHz and base clock of 2295 MHz provide the raw compute headroom, with FP32 performance rated at 56.28 TFLOPS. In the measured data, the GPU’s role becomes evident when comparing resolution scaling: at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 369 FPS, but at 4K Low, it drops to 169 FPS — a 54% reduction. This scaling pattern suggests the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, particularly when settings demand more memory bandwidth and shading work.

The 16 GB VRAM capacity is ample for Undisputed at any preset, as the game’s data does not indicate VRAM exhaustion even at 4K Ultra. The memory clock of 1875 MHz (30 Gbps effective) and 960.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to feed the 112 ROPs and 336 TMUs at 4K, where the Ultra preset’s 65 FPS is more likely constrained by shading complexity than memory throughput.

Benchmark data places the RTX 5080 in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 56083. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 8060S (0.6% ahead), AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (0.7% ahead), and AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE (2.2% behind). These close margins in synthetic tests contrast with the large FPS swings in Undisputed’s measured results, indicating the game’s engine responds strongly to the RTX 5080’s architectural strengths — particularly its Blackwell 2.0 design and 84 RT cores, even though Undisputed is not an RT-heavy title.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on Zen 4 architecture (Dragon Range), with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Its 64 MB of L3 cache and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide the foundation for feeding the RTX 5080 in CPU-bound scenarios. The CPU’s benchmark results show a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42713 and single-core score of 6030, placing it in the 95th percentile of all CPUs.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is most visible at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 369 FPS, and at 1440p Low, 266 FPS — these numbers require strong single-thread performance to drive the game’s simulation and physics. The passmark single-thread score of 3907 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6030 indicate the 8945HX has ample headroom for high-FPS scenarios.

The CPU’s 16 cores and 32 threads may not be fully utilized by Undisputed, which is a sports title that likely scales across a few threads for gameplay logic. However, the multi-core performance (Cinebench R23 multi-core 42713) ensures that background tasks and streaming don’t interfere with frame pacing. The 55 W TDP suggests efficient power delivery, which is relevant for sustained performance in longer play sessions.

The nearest rivals data shows the 8945HX’s average benchmark score of 76212 is within 0.6% of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 0.1% of the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX. This tight clustering means the CPU is not a differentiator in Undisputed’s measured FPS — the GPU dominates at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s single-thread capabilities are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking at 1080p. The PassMark multi-thread score of 51405 and floating-point math score of 117453 suggest robust computational throughput for any physics calculations the game performs.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of resolution scaling that reveals the limiting component at each tier. At Low settings, the combo delivers 369 FPS at 1080p, 266 FPS at 1440p, and 169 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 28% from 1080p to 1440p, and 36% from 1440p to 4K. This steep decline at 4K Low indicates the GPU is the bottleneck, as the CPU’s 16 cores and 5.40 GHz boost clock are more than capable of sustaining high frame rates.

At High settings, the scaling is 220 FPS (1080p), 159 FPS (1440p), and 100 FPS (4K) — drops of 28% and 37%, respectively. The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and High presets suggests the GPU’s fill rate and shading units (10752) are the primary constraints as resolution increases. The RTX 5080’s pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s are being exercised progressively harder at each resolution step.

At Ultra settings, the scaling becomes more severe: 141 FPS (1080p), 102 FPS (1440p), and 65 FPS (4K) — drops of 28% and 36%. The 4K Ultra result of 65 FPS is particularly telling, as it represents a 54% reduction from the 1080p Ultra score. This indicates that Ultra settings at 4K push the GPU to its limits, with the 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 performance being insufficient to maintain higher frame rates.

The Medium preset shows the most consistent scaling with the smallest absolute drops: 265 FPS (1080p), 192 FPS (1440p), and 121 FPS (4K). The min FPS values also scale predictably: 225 (1080p), 163 (1440p), and 103 (4K). This consistency suggests Medium is the most balanced preset for maintaining frame pacing across resolutions, though High offers better visual quality with only slightly steeper scaling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its highest frame rates across all presets. Low settings achieve 369 FPS average, which is the maximum measured in this dataset. Medium delivers 265 FPS with a range of 225 to 305 FPS, showing tight frame pacing. High reaches 220 FPS, while Ultra drops to 141 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 228 FPS, indicating that settings have a massive impact at this resolution, but even Ultra exceeds 140 FPS for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down proportionally. Low hits 266 FPS, Medium achieves 192 FPS (min 163, max 220), High reaches 159 FPS, and Ultra drops to 102 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 164 FPS. At 1440p, all presets except Ultra remain above 150 FPS, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset at 102 FPS is still above 100 FPS, providing a playable experience with maximum visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. Low achieves 169 FPS, Medium reaches 121 FPS (min 103, max 139), High produces 100 FPS, and Ultra falls to 65 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 104 FPS. At 4K, only Low and Medium exceed 120 FPS, while High remains playable at exactly 100 FPS. Ultra at 65 FPS is the only preset that dips below the 60 FPS threshold for minimum playability, though the average is still above it.

The Medium preset’s min FPS values (225 at 1080p, 163 at 1440p, 103 at 4K) provide valuable insight into frame consistency. The 4K Medium min of 103 FPS is above the 100 FPS High average, meaning Medium offers better frame stability than High at 4K. This suggests that if frame drops are a concern, Medium at 4K is the safer choice, while High is acceptable for those prioritizing visual quality.
