Undisputed

# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D holds the #1 rank out of 2,813 tested combos in Undisputed. This is a definitive top-tier result — no other CPU-GPU pairing in the database manages a higher average frame rate in this title. The combination of a 20-core, 20-thread Arrow Lake processor with the Blackwell 2.0 flagship GPU produces the best measured performance available for this boxing sim.

The CPU sits in the 93rd percentile among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 64,640. Its nearest rivals in overall CPU performance are the AMD EPYC 4464P (64,823, a -0.3% delta), the Intel Core Ultra 7 265F (64,438, +0.3% delta), the AMD EPYC 7343 (64,202, +0.7% delta), and the AMD EPYC 9124 (65,104, a -0.7% delta). These deltas are all within a single percentage point, indicating that the Core Ultra 7 265 is essentially tied with several server-class EPYC parts in raw compute throughput. However, in gaming — specifically Undisputed — the combination with the RTX 5090 D pulls ahead of every one of those 2,812 other combos, which speaks to the GPU's dominance rather than the CPU's sheer compute lead.

The GPU itself lands in the 92nd percentile among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 77,712. Its nearest rivals in GPU benchmarks are the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT (76,904, +1.1% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78,940, -1.6% delta), the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79,396, -2.1% delta), and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, -2.4% delta). Interestingly, these rival GPUs are all within a few percentage points of the RTX 5090 D in synthetic benchmarks, yet none of them appear in the top combo rankings for Undisputed to the same degree. The data suggests that the RTX 5090 D's architectural advantages — its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth — translate into outsized gains in this specific game, pushing the combo to rank #1 despite the CPU being only marginally ahead of its nearest rivals.

In practical terms, this combo doesn't just top the charts; it establishes a performance ceiling. The rank of 1 out of 2,813 means there is no faster measured configuration in the database for Undisputed. For any user seeking the absolute maximum frame rate in this title, this is the reference point.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the primary driver of this combo's dominance. Its memory configuration is exceptional: 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The base clock runs at 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and memory operates at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). These specifications are not just impressive on paper — they directly correlate with the measured frame rates in Undisputed.

The GPU's shading units number 21,760, with 680 texture mapping units and 176 raster output units. It also carries 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores, though Undisputed is not a ray-tracing-heavy title based on the data available. The raw compute throughput is 104.8 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16 (at a 1:1 ratio), which gives the card massive headroom for any workload Undisputed throws at it.

The pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s are key metrics for a game like Undisputed, which renders character models and arena environments with high detail. At 4K resolution, the GPU maintains an average of 157 FPS on High settings — a number that only makes sense given the enormous fill-rate capabilities of this card. Compare that to the Low preset at 4K, which hits 264 FPS, and it's clear that the GPU is never the bottleneck; even at Ultra settings, the card still delivers 101 FPS at 4K, which is well above playable thresholds.

The RTX 5090 D's memory bandwidth of 1.79 TB/s deserves special attention. Undisputed, as a sports title, likely benefits from high-bandwidth memory for texture streaming and asset loading. The 32 GB capacity also means there is zero risk of VRAM exhaustion at any resolution or settings preset in this game. The data shows no min FPS drops that would indicate memory pressure — the only recorded min FPS values are 162 FPS at 4K Medium and 256 FPS at 1440p Medium, both of which are far above any concerning threshold.

The GPU's PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensures no bandwidth bottleneck between the CPU and GPU, and the dual-slot design with a single 16-pin power connector (suggested 950 W PSU) is consistent with its 575 W TDP. In the context of Undisputed, the RTX 5090 D is not just sufficient — it is overkill, but that overkill translates into the #1 combo ranking.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern: Undisputed scales almost linearly with resolution, and the RTX 5090 D has enough headroom to keep frame rates high across all three tested resolutions.

At 1080p, the combo produces extraordinary numbers. Low settings hit 578 FPS on average, Medium reaches 416 FPS (with min/max of 354/478 FPS), High delivers 344 FPS, and Ultra still manages 222 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the CPU is likely the limiting factor — the GPU could theoretically push even higher, but the Core Ultra 7 265's 20 cores at a 5.30 GHz boost clock cap the frame rate at these extreme levels.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. Low settings average 418 FPS, Medium drops to 301 FPS (min/max: 256/346 FPS), High delivers 249 FPS, and Ultra maintains 160 FPS. The drop from 1080p Low to 1440p Low is 160 FPS (from 578 to 418), a 27.7% reduction. This is less than the pixel count increase (which would be ~77% more pixels), indicating that the GPU is not yet the primary bottleneck at these settings.

At 4K (3840x2160), the picture changes. Low settings average 264 FPS, Medium drops to 190 FPS (min/max: 162/219 FPS), High delivers 157 FPS, and Ultra falls to 101 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is more pronounced: Low goes from 418 to 264 (a 36.8% reduction), Medium from 301 to 190 (36.9%), High from 249 to 157 (37.0%), and Ultra from 160 to 101 (36.9%). This consistent ~37% drop across all settings suggests that at 4K, the GPU is now the limiting component, as the pixel count increase from 1440p to 4K is 2.25x, and the frame rate reduction is roughly proportional to the added pixel load.

The data indicates a transition point: at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU has more influence on results, while at 4K, the GPU's rendering throughput becomes the dominant factor. Even so, the RTX 5090 D never drops below 101 FPS at any setting at 4K, which means this combo is viable for high-refresh-rate 4K gaming in Undisputed.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. The data provides clear guidance for each resolution tier.

At 4K, the High preset at 157 FPS is the sweet spot for most users. It delivers a 55.6% improvement over Ultra (101 FPS) while only sacrificing the highest visual fidelity. For users with 144 Hz or 165 Hz 4K displays, the Medium preset at 190 FPS is actually the better choice, as it provides a 21% boost over High and stays well above typical refresh-rate ceilings. The Low preset at 264 FPS is unnecessary for most 4K displays, as it exceeds even the fastest 240 Hz panels. Ultra at 101 FPS is playable but represents a significant compromise — dropping to High nearly doubles the frame rate from Ultra to High.

At 1440p, the High preset at 249 FPS is the recommended baseline. It comfortably exceeds 240 Hz refresh rates, which are common on high-end 1440p monitors. The Medium preset at 301 FPS is ideal for 300 Hz panels, while Ultra at 160 FPS still satisfies 144 Hz displays. Low at 418 FPS is essentially a competitive mode for esports-style play, but the visual compromise is likely not worth it for a sports title where visual feedback matters.

At 1080p, the recommendations shift toward higher presets. Ultra at 222 FPS is the best experience for most users, as it provides the highest visual quality while still exceeding 200 FPS. High at 344 FPS is overkill for any current display, and Medium at 416 FPS or Low at 578 FPS are only relevant for users with 360 Hz or 500 Hz monitors, which are rare. The data shows that at 1080p, there is no reason to drop below High — the frame rates are already so high that visual quality is the only meaningful differentiator.

In summary, the measured rows suggest: 4K High (157 FPS) for balanced visuals and speed, 1440p High (249 FPS) for high-refresh-rate monitors, and 1080p Ultra (222 FPS) for maximum fidelity. Users prioritizing frame rate over visuals should consider 4K Medium (190 FPS) or 1440p Medium (301 FPS).
