This combo ranks 111th out of 1580 tested configurations in Undisputed, placing it in the top 7% of all combinations evaluated. That is a strong showing for a sports title that typically favors GPU headroom, but the data reveals this pairing is not merely fast — it is exceptionally balanced, with the CPU's 96th percentile standing and the GPU's 88th percentile standing combining to produce frame rates that saturate even high-refresh displays at 1440p and remain very playable at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The 111th rank out of 1580 combos is a decisive verdict: this is a top-tier setup for Undisputed. The ranking reflects the synergy between the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, where neither component bottlenecks the other in this particular title. The CPU sits in the 96th percentile against all processors, while the GPU holds the 88th percentile against all graphics cards — both are elite components, and the measured FPS confirms they work together without compromise.

Benchmark results indicate the CPU's average benchmark score of 71660 places it just 0.9% ahead of the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 (71056) and 1.8% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (70420). It also leads the Intel Core i7-14700KF (70104) by 2.2%. The only rival that edges it out is the Intel Xeon 6517P (73050), which is 1.9% higher. These are tight margins, but the 9950X3D's 16 cores and 32 threads, paired with its 128 MB of shared L3 cache, give it the multithreaded muscle that Undisputed can exploit during physics and AI simulation.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4080 SUPER's average benchmark score of 53610 is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (53489) and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (53414). It also beats the AMD Radeon RX 7700S (52505) by 2.1% and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (52086) by 2.9%. The 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for high-resolution textures, and the 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 throughput drives the high frame rates seen in the measured data.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data shows a clear progression: at every resolution, the Low preset delivers the highest average FPS, followed by Medium, then High, then Ultra. For the best experience, the High preset is the sweet spot — it delivers 283.5 FPS at 1080p, 207.2 FPS at 1440p, and 131.3 FPS at 4K. These are all well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, and the High preset likely includes visual features that enhance the boxing presentation without the performance hit of Ultra.

Ultra is the most demanding preset, and the data shows it cuts frame rates substantially: at 4K, Ultra drops to 84 FPS, which is still playable but 36.1% lower than High's 131.3 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra delivers 131 FPS — identical to High at 4K — suggesting that the Ultra preset at lower resolutions offers a similar load to High at higher resolutions. For players with 144Hz or 165Hz displays, High at 1440p (207.2 FPS) is the recommended choice, as it exceeds most refresh rate ceilings while preserving visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 1440p (246.1 FPS) is also viable for competitive play, but the visual trade-off is not justified when High is so close.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals how the load shifts between components. At Low settings, the drop from 1080p (476.2 FPS) to 1440p (345.5 FPS) is a 27.4% reduction, and then to 4K (218.2 FPS) is another 36.8% reduction — a total drop of 54.2% from 1080p to 4K. This steep scaling at Low settings indicates the GPU is the primary limiter, as the CPU has plenty of headroom at these low graphical loads.

At High settings, the scaling is similar but less extreme: 1080p (283.5 FPS) to 1440p (207.2 FPS) is a 26.9% drop, and 1440p to 4K (131.3 FPS) is a 36.6% drop. The total reduction from 1080p to 4K is 53.7%. This consistent scaling across presets suggests that the RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB VRAM and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are being utilized effectively, but the GPU's raw compute (52.22 TFLOPS) becomes the bottleneck as pixel count increases.

The data shows that at 1080p, even Ultra settings (181.7 FPS) are far above what a 60Hz display needs, indicating the CPU is not holding back the GPU. At 4K, the gap between Low (218.2 FPS) and Ultra (84 FPS) — a 61.5% difference — highlights that the GPU's shading units (10240) and ROPS (112) are the limiting factors at higher resolutions. The CPU's 128 MB L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to feed the GPU at all tested settings.

FAQ

Q: Is this a top-ranking combo overall?

A: It ranks 111th out of 1580 tested combos, placing it in the top 7%. That is a strong result, though not the absolute top, meaning a few other configurations achieve higher frame rates in Undisputed.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the workhorse here, and its specifications directly explain the measured FPS. The GPU features 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 112 ROPS, with a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2550 MHz. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory runs at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is critical for Undisputed's high-resolution textures, as the data shows 4K Ultra still delivers 84 FPS without a VRAM bottleneck.

The GPU's 52.22 TFLOPS FP32 performance is the key driver of the frame rates. At 1080p Low, the game runs at 476.2 FPS, which is a GPU-bound scenario where the 4080 SUPER's raw compute shines. The pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s also contribute to the smooth rendering at higher resolutions. The GPU's 88th percentile standing, with an average benchmark score of 53610, puts it just 2.9% ahead of the RTX 5070 Ti (52086) and 2.1% ahead of the RX 7700S (52505), but the 4080 SUPER's lead over the RX 6900 XT (53489) is only 0.2%, indicating a tight competitive field at this performance tier.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge), built on TSMC's 4 nm process. Its base clock is 4.30 GHz with a boost clock of 5.70 GHz, and it features 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a massive 128 MB of shared L3 cache. This cache configuration is particularly beneficial for Undisputed's simulation-heavy gameplay, as it reduces memory latency and keeps frequently accessed data closer to the cores.

The CPU's benchmarks support its role: a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 59712 and a single-core score of 8430 indicate strong both-threaded and single-threaded performance. The Geekbench multicore score of 22515 and single-core score of 3401 further confirm its capability. In the measured FPS data, the CPU never appears to be the limiting factor — even at 1080p Low (476.2 FPS), the frame rate is far above what a CPU-bound scenario would produce. The 9950X3D's 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth and DDR5 support ensure the GPU is fed with data quickly, and the 96th percentile ranking reflects its elite status.
