GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB203 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It houses 10,752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 raster output pipelines, along with 84 ray tracing cores and 336 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2295 MHz and boosts to 2617 MHz, with memory running at 1875 MHz (30 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus. The 16 GB GDDR7 memory provides 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Undisputed's texture-heavy environments at 4K.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution scales upward. At 1080p, the RTX 5080 delivers between 141 FPS (Ultra) and 369 FPS (Low), showing that even the most demanding settings remain highly playable. At 1440p, the range tightens to 102 FPS (Ultra) through 266 FPS (Low), and at 4K, it spans 65 FPS (Ultra) to 169 FPS (Low). The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 8637 and Passmark G3D score of 36565 position the GPU in the 87th percentile overall, with its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE, trailing by 2.2% in average benchmark score.

The frame time consistency data, available for Medium settings, shows the GPU maintains stable performance. At 1080p Medium, the average is 265 FPS with a minimum of 225 and maximum of 305. At 1440p Medium, it drops to 192 FPS (min 163, max 220), and at 4K Medium, it reaches 121 FPS (min 103, max 139). The narrowing gap between minimum and maximum frames at higher resolutions indicates the GPU workload becomes more uniform, reducing variance as the render load increases.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 combination holds position 1019 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the upper 27% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the synergy between a top-tier mobile CPU and a high-end desktop GPU, though the game's engine appears to favor raw GPU throughput over CPU muscle. The CPU's 95th percentile standing among all processors (avg benchmark score 77740) and the GPU's 87th percentile (avg benchmark score 56083) both contribute to the overall result.

Relative to other tested combos, this pairing outperforms the majority of systems, but the rank suggests that some configurations with even more powerful GPUs or optimized CPU-GPU pairings achieve higher frame rates. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-14900K, which has an average score of 79097 (1.7% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX at 76212 (2% lower). On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE leads by 2.2% with an average score of 57367, while the AMD Radeon 8060S trails by 0.6% at 55757.

The data indicates that this combo is well-matched for Undisputed, as neither component is a significant bottleneck. At 4K Ultra, the 65 FPS average suggests the GPU is the limiting factor, while at 1080p Low, the 369 FPS result shows the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower resolutions. The rank of 1019 out of 3718 means approximately one in four tested configurations outperforms this pairing, which is a strong showing given the hardware's mobile CPU origins.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 5080 with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 369 FPS, Medium yields 265 FPS (minimum 225, maximum 305), High reaches 220 FPS, and Ultra drops to 141 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 228 FPS spread, with each settings tier reducing performance by roughly 25-30% from the previous level.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results remain strong but show expected scaling. Low settings average 266 FPS, Medium delivers 192 FPS (minimum 163, maximum 220), High achieves 159 FPS, and Ultra falls to 102 FPS. The 164 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 1440p is narrower than at 1080p, indicating the GPU is becoming more heavily utilized.

At 3840x2160, performance scales further downward. Low settings still manage an average of 169 FPS, Medium produces 121 FPS (minimum 103, maximum 139), High hits 100 FPS, and Ultra drops to 65 FPS. The 104 FPS spread at 4K is the smallest of the three resolutions, confirming that the GPU workload dominates at this resolution and settings changes have a proportionally smaller impact on absolute frame rates.

The Medium settings data provides the only minimum and maximum FPS readings across all resolutions. At 1080p, the 225-305 FPS range shows tight frame pacing. At 1440p, the 163-220 FPS range maintains consistency. At 4K, the 103-139 FPS range demonstrates that even at higher resolution, frame times remain stable, which is critical for a sports game where timing impacts gameplay.

Resolution Scaling

Scaling from 1080p to 1440p and then to 4K reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 369 at 1080p to 266 at 1440p (a 27.9% decrease) and then to 169 at 4K (a 36.5% decrease from 1440p). This steep scaling indicates that at Low settings, the CPU is the primary limiter at 1080p, and the GPU becomes more dominant as resolution increases.

At Ultra settings, the scaling pattern differs. From 1080p (141 FPS) to 1440p (102 FPS), the drop is 27.7%. From 1440p to 4K (65 FPS), the drop is 36.3%. The similar percentage drops across settings at each resolution step suggest that Undisputed scales consistently with pixel count, but the absolute frame rates at Ultra are much lower, pointing to the GPU being the limiting component at maximum settings.

The Medium settings data, which includes min/max ranges, shows the scaling impact on frame consistency. At 1080p Medium, the average is 265 FPS with a 80 FPS range (225-305). At 1440p Medium, the average is 192 FPS with a 57 FPS range (163-220). At 4K Medium, the average is 121 FPS with a 36 FPS range (103-139). The shrinking range at higher resolutions indicates that as the GPU becomes the bottleneck, frame times become more predictable, reducing stutter potential.

The 4K to 1080p ratio at High settings is 100 FPS versus 220 FPS, meaning 4K delivers 45.5% of the 1080p frame rate. At Low settings, the ratio is 169 FPS versus 369 FPS, or 45.8%. This near-identical ratio across settings confirms that resolution scaling is the dominant factor, with settings having a secondary effect on the overall performance curve.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (Strix Halo codename), manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.00 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, within a 55 W TDP envelope. The CPU features 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 64 MB of shared L3 cache, along with quad-channel LPDDR5X memory support providing 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is most apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the 369 FPS average approaches the limit of what the CPU can feed to the GPU, as the RTX 5080 is capable of far higher frame rates in less demanding scenes. The CPU's benchmark results support this capability: Cinebench R23 multicore score of 35314, Geekbench multicore of 20992, and Passmark multithread of 54934. The single-core performance, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 2044 and Geekbench single-core at 2464, is sufficient for the game's physics and AI calculations.

The CPU's 95th percentile ranking among all processors places it alongside the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX (1.6% higher average score) and AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P (1.6% higher), while it edges out the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX by 2%. The Intel Core i9-14900K leads by 1.7%, but the Ryzen AI Max+ 395's 16-core configuration with 32 threads provides substantial headroom for background tasks while gaming.

The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the CPU is not the limiting factor, as the GPU's 65 FPS average is well below what the CPU can support. However, at 1080p Low, the 369 FPS result is likely near the CPU's practical ceiling for this game engine, as the GPU could theoretically output more frames if the CPU could deliver them faster. The 64 MB L3 cache and 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth help maintain consistent frame delivery, as evidenced by the tight minimum FPS readings at Medium settings across all resolutions.
