How This Combo Ranks

The data indicates that this pairing is a top-tier performer in the database for Undisputed. With a rank of 812 out of 3718 combinations, it places in the 78th percentile of all tested systems. This is a strong showing, but the ranking is not absolute; it suggests that while this combo is exceptionally fast, there are other combinations that deliver even higher frame rates in this specific title. The ranking is a composite measure, and the individual frame rate data shows that the system's performance is heavily influenced by both resolution and graphics settings, with the CPU potentially being a limiting factor at lower resolutions.

The synthetic benchmarks for the CPU paint a picture of a very capable processor. Its average benchmark score of 77740 puts it in the 95th percentile of all CPUs. This high standing is corroborated by its multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35314 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 20992. The CPU's nearest rivals in these synthetic tests are within a narrow band of performance, with deltas of only 1.6% to 2%, indicating that the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is performing at the expected level for a high-end mobile processor. The GPU also performs well in its own synthetic benchmarks, with an average score of 79842, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are also within a tight performance window, with deltas under 1.5%, demonstrating that the RTX 5090 is delivering benchmark numbers consistent with its flagship status.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and substantial impact of resolution on performance. At 1080p, the system is capable of producing extraordinarily high frame rates, reaching 394 FPS on Low settings. This indicates that at lower resolutions, the system has a massive amount of headroom. However, as the resolution increases, the frame rates drop significantly. At 1440p, the maximum average FPS on Low settings is 284, and at 4K, it drops further to 180 FPS on Low settings. The pattern across all settings is consistent: a significant reduction in frame rate as the pixel count increases.

This scaling behavior is a classic indicator of the workload shifting from the CPU to the GPU. At 1080p, the CPU is likely the primary bottleneck, as it must feed frames to the GPU as fast as possible. The sheer number of frames produced (over 300 FPS on Low settings) suggests that the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is working hard to keep up. As the resolution increases to 1440p and then 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor. The rendering workload becomes more demanding, and the frame rates settle into a range that is more consistent with the GPU's raw rendering power. The drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings, from 234 FPS to 107 FPS, is a drop of 54%, which is a substantial but expected penalty for a 4x increase in pixel count. This data shows a system that is well-balanced but will be GPU-limited at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a detailed look at the system's performance across three resolutions and four settings presets.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance. On Low settings, the average FPS is 394. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 283 FPS, with a minimum of 241 and a maximum of 326. High settings yield an average of 234 FPS. The most demanding Ultra preset still produces a very playable average of 151 FPS. This resolution is clearly where the system's CPU and GPU combination shines, providing frame rates that are well beyond the refresh rate of most high-end monitors.

At 2560x1440, performance remains excellent. Low settings average 284 FPS. Medium settings average 205 FPS, with a minimum of 174 and a maximum of 235. High settings deliver an average of 169 FPS. Ultra settings drop to an average of 109 FPS. The system is still providing a highly responsive experience at this resolution, with even the Ultra preset maintaining a triple-digit frame rate.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the system's performance is more moderate but still strong. Low settings average 180 FPS. Medium settings average 129 FPS, with a minimum of 110 and a maximum of 149. High settings average 107 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, producing an average of 69 FPS. While the frame rates at 4K are lower than at other resolutions, they are still largely playable, particularly on High and Medium settings, which maintain averages above 100 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the dominant component in this configuration for Undisputed, especially at higher resolutions. Its specifications are formidable: it is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and manufactured on a 5 nm process. The GPU is equipped with 21760 shading units and 176 ROPs, which directly handle the pixel processing workload. Its core clocks are high, with a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz. This raw processing power translates to a peak FP32 performance of 104.8 TFLOPS, a figure that allows for immense compute throughput.

The memory subsystem is equally impressive. The 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s. This is a critical specification, as it ensures the GPU's cores are fed with data as fast as they can consume it. In a game like Undisputed, which may not have massive texture requirements, this bandwidth is likely not a bottleneck. The data supports this, as the GPU's synthetic scores are strong, with a Passmark G3D score of 39650 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 18355. The GPU's role in Undisputed is to handle the increasing geometric and pixel load as resolution scales, and the data shows it does so effectively, albeit with a corresponding drop in frame rate.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend entirely on the user's target resolution and refresh rate.

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice. With an average of 151 FPS, it provides a high-fidelity experience that is still well above the 144Hz refresh rate common in gaming monitors. The visual benefits of Ultra settings are significant, and the performance cost is minimal at this resolution. Users with 240Hz or higher refresh rate displays could also consider High settings, which average 234 FPS, but the jump to Ultra is more visually impactful.

At 2560x1440, the High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. Averaging 169 FPS, it provides a smooth and responsive experience. The Ultra preset, at 109 FPS, is also viable for users who prioritize visual fidelity over maximum frame rates, especially if they have a 120Hz display. For competitive play where higher frame rates are desired, Medium settings at 205 FPS would be the recommended choice.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the recommended starting point. With an average of 129 FPS, it provides a good balance, ensuring a smooth experience on 120Hz 4K displays. The High preset, at 107 FPS, is also very playable and offers better visual quality. The Ultra preset, at 69 FPS, is the only setting that dips below the 60 FPS threshold, but is still playable for users who prefer maximum visual fidelity over a higher frame rate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a powerhouse mobile processor that plays a crucial role in this system's performance, particularly at lower resolutions. Its architecture is Zen 5 on a 4 nm process, and it features 16 cores and 32 threads. This high core count is reflected in its strong multi-threaded benchmark scores, such as the 35314 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core. The CPU's single-core performance is also very strong, with a Geekbench single-core score of 2464, which is important for games that rely on a few fast cores.

The CPU's cache hierarchy is substantial, with 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core. This large cache helps to reduce memory latency and keep frequently accessed data close to the cores. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s from its quad-channel LPDDR5X support is also a key asset, ensuring that the cores and the integrated Radeon 8060S graphics have sufficient data throughput. The data shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck at 4K, where the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. However, at 1080p, the frame rates are so high that the CPU is likely the primary limiter, as it must process game logic and issue draw calls to the GPU as fast as possible. The fact that the system reaches 394 FPS at 1080p Low settings reflects the CPU's ability to handle this workload. Its performance in synthetic benchmarks, where it sits 1.6% ahead of the Threadripper PRO 9945WX and 2% ahead of the Ryzen 9 8945HX, confirms its position as a top-tier processor that can support the RTX 5090 in even the most demanding scenarios.
