Undisputed

Undisputed, a sports title released on 2023-10-10, presents a distinct performance profile when paired with the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. The measured data reveals a system that scales predictably across resolutions, with the GPU becoming the primary constraint as pixel count rises. The CPU’s 16 cores and 32 threads provide ample headroom, while the RTX 4060’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth define the upper limits of graphical fidelity. This analysis walks through the benchmark results to show exactly where each component excels and where the pairing bottlenecks.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 demonstrates a classic GPU-bound scaling curve. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo achieves 144 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 High drops that to 104 FPS, a 27.8% reduction, and at 3840x2160 High the average falls further to 66 FPS, representing a 54.2% decrease from the 1080p figure. This steep decline indicates that the RTX 4060’s rendering throughput—characterized by its 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance—is the limiting factor at higher resolutions.

The pattern persists across all settings presets. At Low settings, the system delivers 242 FPS at 1080p, 175 FPS at 1440p, and 111 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low is 54.1%, nearly identical to the High setting drop. This consistency suggests the scaling is driven by pixel fill rate rather than shader complexity. The RTX 4060’s 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate and 236.2 GTexel/s texture rate are fixed limits that no settings change can fully bypass.

The Medium preset shows the most complete data, with min and max FPS recorded. At 1080p Medium, the average is 174 FPS with a min of 148 and max of 200. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 126 FPS (min 107, max 145), and at 4K Medium it falls to 80 FPS (min 68, max 92). The 4K Medium result is particularly telling: the 68 FPS minimum stays above playable thresholds, but the gap between average and minimum (12 FPS) suggests occasional dips that could be noticeable in fast-paced boxing exchanges.

Ultra settings push the system hardest. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 93 FPS—still smooth but 35.4% lower than High. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 67 FPS. At 4K Ultra, the average collapses to 42 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold most players consider essential for a sports title. The data shows that 4K Ultra is not viable with this combination, while 1080p Ultra and 1440p High remain comfortable.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on Zen 5 architecture, manufactured on TSMC’s 4 nm process. Its base clock is 3.00 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, and it operates within a 55 W TDP envelope. The CPU’s cache hierarchy includes 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and 64 MB of shared L3 cache, which provides ample fast memory for game logic and physics calculations in Undisputed.

Benchmark data positions this CPU in the 95th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77740. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-14900K, scores 79097, which is 1.7% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX scores 76212, 2% lower. The Ryzen AI Max+ 395’s single-core performance is strong—evidenced by its 2044 Cinebench R23 single-core score and 4147 Passmark single-thread score—which matters for Undisputed’s physics and AI calculations that rely on individual core speed.

In the measured FPS data, the CPU’s role becomes clear when comparing Low and High settings at the same resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low (242 FPS) and High (144 FPS) is 98 FPS, a gap that is entirely attributable to GPU workload changes. If the CPU were the bottleneck, this gap would be smaller. The fact that the combo reaches 242 FPS at 1080p Low shows the CPU can feed frames far faster than the RTX 4060 can render them at higher settings. The 64 MB L3 cache and 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth from LPDDR5X support ensure that game data flows without stalling the 16 cores.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 2268 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 39th percentile. This mid-pack position is primarily determined by the GPU, which holds a 61st percentile ranking among all GPUs. The CPU’s 95th percentile ranking does little to boost the combo because the game’s performance at higher resolutions is GPU-limited.

Comparing the components to their nearest rivals puts this in perspective. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 77740 is 1.6% higher than the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX (76513) and 1.6% higher than the AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P (76492), but 1.7% lower than the Intel Core i9-14900K (79097). The GPU’s average score of 17639 is nearly identical to its nearest rivals, with the AMD Radeon HD 7790 at 17666 (-0.2%) and the AMD Radeon 780M at 17588 (+0.3%).

The ranking implies that while the CPU is overqualified for this pairing, the GPU holds the combo back. At 1080p, the combo performs admirably, with even Ultra settings reaching 93 FPS. But at 4K, the ranking becomes evident: the 42 FPS at Ultra is a poor result that would place the combo in the lower quartile of tested configurations. For players prioritizing high refresh rates at 1080p, this combo ranks well; for 4K enthusiasts, it underperforms relative to other tested combinations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers four resolutions and four settings presets, providing a comprehensive view of performance. At 1920x1080, the results span from 242 FPS at Low to 93 FPS at Ultra. The Medium preset shows a 174 FPS average with a 148 FPS minimum and 200 FPS maximum, indicating consistent frame delivery. High settings at 1080p deliver 144 FPS, which is suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 175 FPS (Low), 126 FPS (Medium), 104 FPS (High), and 67 FPS (Ultra). The Medium preset’s min and max of 107 and 145 FPS respectively show a wider spread than at 1080p, suggesting the GPU is working harder. The 67 FPS at Ultra approaches the 60 FPS threshold, making it a marginal choice for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the data shows 111 FPS (Low), 80 FPS (Medium), 66 FPS (High), and 42 FPS (Ultra). The Medium preset at 4K has a min of 68 FPS and max of 92 FPS, which means even the worst-case frame time stays above 60 FPS. High at 4K at 66 FPS is playable but leaves no headroom for demanding scenes, while Ultra at 42 FPS is clearly below acceptable standards.

The scaling factors are consistent across settings. From 1080p to 1440p, the performance drops by roughly 27-28% at each settings level. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is approximately 36-37%. This uniform scaling confirms that the RTX 4060’s fixed hardware resources—its 3072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs—determine the frame rate at each resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The ideal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p, Ultra settings at 93 FPS provide the best visual quality while maintaining smooth gameplay. The 42 FPS at 4K Ultra is a clear outlier and should be avoided, as it falls below the 60 FPS minimum for a sports title.

At 1440p, High settings at 104 FPS offer the best balance. The jump from High to Ultra costs 37 FPS (from 104 to 67), a 35.6% reduction that does not justify the marginal visual improvement in most cases. Medium at 1440p delivers 126 FPS, which is smoother but sacrifices detail that may be noticeable in the boxing ring’s textures and character models.

At 4K, Medium settings at 80 FPS are the recommended choice. This preset maintains a 68 FPS minimum, ensuring consistent performance even during intense gameplay moments. The 4K High option at 66 FPS is borderline—it works but leaves little margin for frame drops. The data suggests that 4K Medium is the sweet spot, offering 80 FPS average without the risk of dipping below 60 FPS.

For players who prioritize frame rate above all else, the Low preset at 1080p yields 242 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. However, the visual compromise is substantial. The Medium preset at 1440p (126 FPS) is a strong middle ground for those with 144 Hz displays.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC’s 5 nm process, with a die size of 159 mm² containing 18,900 million transistors. Its base clock is 1830 MHz with a boost clock of 2460 MHz, and it operates at a TDP of 115 W. The GPU has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s role is decisive. The measured FPS data shows that the RTX 4060 becomes the bottleneck at 1440p and 4K, where its 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at Ultra settings. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for this game at 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K Ultra, the combination of high-resolution textures and effects may approach memory limits, contributing to the 42 FPS result.

The GPU’s benchmark scores place it in the 61st percentile, with an average score of 17639. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon HD 7790, scores 17666 (0.2% higher), while the AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588 (0.3% lower). This tight clustering shows the RTX 4060 sits at a performance plateau where minor architectural differences determine rankings. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302 and Passmark G3D score of 19545 reflect its mid-range positioning.

The RTX 4060 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, which are all relevant for modern game engines. Its 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores enable ray tracing and DLSS features, though the measured FPS data does not include these features enabled. The 2460 MHz boost clock provides a 34.4% increase over the base clock, which helps sustain performance under load, as evidenced by the consistent frame times in the Medium preset data.
