CPU and GPU Roles

The relative importance of the CPU and GPU shifts noticeably as resolution and preset change. At 1920x1080 Low, the measured average is 324.1 FPS, a figure so high that neither component appears heavily stressed. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops the average to 273.1 FPS, a reduction of 51 FPS. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls to 171.5 FPS, another drop of 101.6 FPS. This scaling pattern clearly indicates that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the pixel count increases. The CPU, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 6629 and a single-core score of 935, is a modest mid-range part, but it still allows the GPU to stretch its legs without causing a significant bottleneck.

At 4K Ultra, the average is 64.1 FPS, just 4.1 FPS above the playable threshold. The GPU's raw compute, measured at 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 and a Passmark G3D score of 26927, is the determining factor here. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 144.6 FPS, more than double the 4K Ultra figure, showing that the GPU is heavily taxed by the resolution increase. The CPU's role becomes more evident at lower resolutions and lower presets, where frame rates exceed 200 FPS. Here, the CPU's 6 threads and 4.10 GHz boost clock keep up with the GPU's output, preventing any meaningful CPU limitation. The GPU's launch MSRP was 599 USD, and its memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s over a 192-bit bus with 12 GB of GDDR6X helps sustain these high frame rates. In summary, the GPU is the dominant component for Undisputed at 4K, while the CPU becomes more relevant at 1080p, but both components are well matched for this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database records average frame rates for this configuration, with minimum and maximum values not captured. At 3840x2160, the Low preset delivers 171.5 FPS, Medium delivers 125.6 FPS, High delivers 103.9 FPS, and Ultra delivers 64.1 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a steady reduction in performance, with Ultra being 107.4 FPS slower than Low. At 2560x1440, the Low preset reaches 273.1 FPS, Medium reaches 196.3 FPS, High reaches 163.7 FPS, and Ultra reaches 106.9 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra here is 166.2 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Low preset hits 324.1 FPS, Medium hits 268.3 FPS, High hits 224.4 FPS, and Ultra hits 144.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 179.5 FPS.

These numbers show that the game scales strongly with both resolution and preset. At Ultra, the 4K average is 64.1 FPS, the 1440p average is 106.9 FPS, and the 1080p average is 144.6 FPS. At Low, the 4K average is 171.5 FPS, the 1440p average is 273.1 FPS, and the 1080p average is 324.1 FPS. The data indicates that 4K Ultra is the most demanding configuration, while 1080p Low is the least demanding. All recorded averages exceed the 60 FPS playable threshold, so there are no unplayable settings in the tested matrix. The GPU's high memory bandwidth and 12 GB frame buffer are sufficient for the game's textures at 4K, and the CPU's 6 cores handle the simulation and physics without causing dips below the threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database for Undisputed, this specific combination of the Intel Core i5-9400 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 1028th out of 3718 tested combos. This places it in the top 27.6% of all configurations tested, meaning that roughly 72% of tested combos are slower. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU's 47th percentile standing and the GPU's 81st percentile standing. The CPU's average benchmark score of 2254 is modest, but the GPU's average of 37648 is strong. In a sports title like Undisputed, the GPU often carries more weight, and the data confirms this. The high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, all above 100 FPS at Ultra, are a direct result of the GPU's capabilities.

The combo outperforms many others that might have a stronger CPU but a weaker GPU. For example, the RTX 4070's nearest rivals, such as the Radeon RX Vega 56, have similar GPU scores but would likely pair with different CPUs, and the overall rank would shift accordingly. The rank of 1028 out of 3718 indicates that this system is well above the median for this game, and it would be a reliable choice for high-refresh-rate monitors at 1080p and 1440p, and for a smooth 4K experience at Ultra settings. The CPU's Cinebench R20 multicore score of 2784 and Geekbench multicore score of 5141 show that it is not a top-tier part, but it does not hold back the GPU in this title, as evidenced by the high frame rates.

The Verdict

The recorded data provides a clear answer: this PC can run Undisputed with ease. The playable threshold is set at 60 FPS, and every single tested configuration clears it. At 3840x2160, the verdict lists High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 64.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 106.9 FPS. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 144.6 FPS. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's demands at 4K, and the CPU's 6 cores handle the simulation and physics without bottlenecking.

The lowest recorded average is 64.1 FPS, which is 4.1 FPS above the playable threshold. This means that even the most demanding setting at the highest resolution leaves a small but comfortable margin. For competitive play or high refresh rates, the 1080p and 1440p results are exceptional, with 1440p Ultra reaching 106.9 FPS and 1080p Ultra reaching 144.6 FPS. There is no configuration in the measured data that fails to meet the 60 FPS target, so the verdict is unequivocally positive. The combination of a mid-range CPU and a high-end GPU proves to be well balanced for this title, delivering smooth performance across the board.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Ultra for all three resolutions. At 3840x2160, Ultra runs at an average of 64.1 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it stays above the 60 FPS threshold, though the margin is only 4.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra runs at an average of 106.9 FPS, providing a large margin over the threshold and making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 1920x1080, Ultra runs at an average of 144.6 FPS, which is well above 60 FPS and offers a very smooth experience.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity, the lower presets offer even higher performance: 4K Low reaches 171.5 FPS, 1440p Low reaches 273.1 FPS, and 1080p Low reaches 324.1 FPS. However, the best settings per resolution, meaning the highest quality that still clears 60 FPS, are Ultra at all three resolutions. The data shows that the RTX 4070 has enough headroom to run the game at maximum quality at 4K, which is a notable achievement for a sports title. The CPU and GPU combination proves to be well balanced, with no single component dragging down the other, and the system delivers a consistently high frame rate that exceeds the playable threshold in every scenario tested.
