GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications are directly reflected in the measured frame rates. The GPU features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 960.0 GB/s. This large memory pool and high bandwidth are particularly relevant for a sports title like Undisputed, where high-resolution textures and smooth motion are critical. The base clock is 2295 MHz with a boost clock of 2617 MHz, and the card has a substantial 10752 shading units.

The GPU’s memory clock runs at 1875 MHz, or 30 Gbps effective, which contributes to its ability to render frames quickly. The data confirms that the GPU scales strongly with resolution: at Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 505.1 FPS at 1080p to 231.9 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 54%. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the rendering workload increases with pixel count.

The measured FPS at Medium settings shows a clear progression: 363.4 FPS at 1080p, 264.4 FPS at 1440p, and 171.1 FPS at 4K. These numbers indicate that the RTX 5080 is not bottlenecked by the CPU at any tested resolution, as the frame rates remain high even at 4K. The card’s pixel rate of 293.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 879.3 GTexel/s support its ability to handle the geometry and texture work required by Undisputed. The GPU’s 89th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 59188, corroborates its position as a high-end part that drives the combo’s excellent in-game results.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured average FPS data, the High preset offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance across all resolutions. At 3840x2160, High yields 141.7 FPS, which is ideal for a smooth 4K experience on high-refresh-rate displays. The Ultra preset, while visually superior, drops to 87 FPS at the same resolution, which is still playable but may not fully utilize a 120 Hz or 144 Hz monitor. For players prioritizing frame rate, Medium at 4K provides 171.1 FPS, a 21% increase over High, but the visual quality reduction may be noticeable.

At 2560x1440, the High preset produces 219.8 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suitable for competitive play. The Ultra preset at this resolution delivers 138.8 FPS, still well above the 60 FPS threshold. The data suggests that High is the sweet spot for 1440p, as it offers a significant FPS advantage over Ultra (58% higher) while likely retaining most visual quality. Low settings at 1440p reach 364.3 FPS, but this is likely unnecessary for a sports game where visual clarity matters for player visibility.

At 1920x1080, all presets exceed 190 FPS, including Ultra at 192.4 FPS. The High preset at 299.9 FPS is nearly identical to Medium at 363.4 FPS in terms of perceptual smoothness, but the former offers better graphics. Given the data, the High preset is the recommended default for this combo, as it delivers 141.7 FPS at 4K, 219.8 FPS at 1440p, and 299.9 FPS at 1080p. These numbers are all high enough to saturate most displays, making High the most efficient choice in terms of measured performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo holds a rank of 89 out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed, placing it in the top 5.6% of all configurations. This rank is a strong indicator that the pairing of the Intel Core i5-14600K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 is exceptionally well-suited for this game. The high rank is supported by the measured frame rates, which are consistently high across all resolutions and settings. For example, the 4K High result of 141.7 FPS is likely higher than what the majority of lower-ranked combos can achieve at the same settings.

The rank is particularly impressive given that the CPU and GPU each have their own percentile rankings: the CPU is in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 89th percentile among all GPUs. The combo’s rank of 89 out of 1580 suggests that the CPU and GPU work well together, with no significant bottleneck limiting the system’s performance. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 49166 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, which has a score of 49062 and a deltaPct of 0.2%. This indicates that the CPU is not a weak link in the system.

The GPU’s nearest rival, the Intel Arc A570M, has an average score of 58239, which is 1.6% lower than the RTX 5080’s 59188. While this delta is small, the RTX 5080’s higher score contributes to the combo’s strong rank. The fact that the combo is ranked 89th out of 1580, rather than higher or lower, reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: it is not the absolute top combo, but it is far above the median configuration.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600K provides the processing foundation for this combo. It has 14 cores and 20 threads, operating at a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. This high boost clock is critical for gaming, as Undisputed likely relies on single-threaded performance for game logic and physics. The CPU’s 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache help reduce memory latency, which can improve frame pacing. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 49166 places it in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, confirming its strong compute capability.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and simulation data. The measured frame rates show that the CPU is not a bottleneck, as the FPS scales consistently with resolution and settings. For example, at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 505.1 FPS, which is an extremely high frame rate that would stress many CPUs. The fact that the i5-14600K can sustain this performance indicates that its 14 cores and 20 threads are more than sufficient for this game.

The CPU’s nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, has an average score of 49062, which is only 0.2% lower. This near-identical performance means that swapping to the rival CPU would likely not change the in-game FPS significantly. The CPU’s 5.30 GHz boost clock is a key differentiator, as it allows for rapid single-thread execution, which is often the limiting factor in sports games. The 125 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility are standard for a desktop part, and the CPU’s support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory provides flexibility. Overall, the data shows that the i5-14600K is a capable partner for the RTX 5080, ensuring that the GPU is fully utilized across all tested settings.
