CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen architecture, manufactured on GlobalFoundries’ 12 nm process. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz can boost up to 3.90 GHz, and it accesses 16 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, offering 46.9 GB/s of bandwidth.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU’s single-thread performance is modest: it scores 157.3 in Cinebench R15 single-core and 1154 in Geekbench single-core. Multi-threaded results are stronger, with a Cinebench R15 multi-core score of 1248 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 5648. The PassMark multi-thread score of 13160 and physics score of 673 further illustrate its mid-range capabilities relative to modern processors.

For Undisputed, a sports simulation, the CPU’s role is primarily to manage game logic, physics, and AI. The data indicates that at 1080p, the CPU becomes the primary limiter. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 349, but this is a scenario where the GPU is underutilized. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is sufficient to avoid stutter, but the modest single-thread score of 2239 in PassMark suggests it cannot fully feed the RTX 4070 at lower resolutions. The CPU’s 75th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it well below the GPU’s 81st percentile, reinforcing the imbalance.

The CPU’s boost clock of 3.90 GHz is the ceiling for its per-core speed, and in a game like Undisputed that may not be heavily multi-threaded, this limits the maximum achievable frame rate. The data shows that at 1080p, regardless of settings, the FPS is capped at 349 (Low) and drops to 223 at High, which are high numbers but not scaling linearly with GPU load. This suggests the CPU is reaching its performance ceiling around the 200-350 FPS range, depending on the instruction mix.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using TSMC’s 5 nm process. It features 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1920 MHz and boosts to 2475 MHz. Memory is 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

The GPU’s raw compute capabilities are substantial: 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s. These specifications translate into a PassMark G3D score of 26927 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3854. The GPU’s 81st percentile ranking reflects its position as a high-end part, though not the absolute fastest.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s role is to render the boxers, arenas, and crowds. The data shows the GPU is the dominant component at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 66, which is a GPU-bound scenario. At 4K Low, the average rises to 171 FPS, showing the GPU has headroom when visual effects are reduced. The VRAM capacity of 12 GB is ample for this title, as the game doesn’t appear to exceed it even at 4K Ultra, given the measured frame rates.

The RTX 4070’s memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is likely a key factor in maintaining consistent frame rates at 1440p and 4K. The transition from 1080p to 1440p shows only a modest FPS drop (e.g., 223 to 161 at High settings), indicating the GPU is well-equipped to handle the increased pixel count. At 4K, the drop is more pronounced (161 to 102 at High), but still playable.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 2600 and RTX 4070 achieves a rank of 1017 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 27.4% of all configurations, which is a strong result but not elite. The ranking reflects the bottleneck imposed by the CPU; if paired with a newer processor, the GPU could likely push the combo into the top 10%.

The CPU’s percentile (75th) is significantly lower than the GPU’s (81st), suggesting that the CPU is the limiting factor in many scenarios. The data supports this: at 1080p, the FPS is high but the scaling from Low (349 FPS) to Ultra (143 FPS) is steep, indicating that the CPU is not able to maintain high frame rates when the GPU is asked to do more work. At 4K, the FPS drops are more gradual, suggesting the GPU becomes the primary constraint.

Relative to the CPU’s nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 2600 is statistically tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V (0.2% delta) and the Intel Core i9-11900H (0.5% delta). This means that swapping the CPU for either of those parts would yield nearly identical performance in Undisputed, assuming the GPU remains the same. The GPU’s rivals show a similar pattern: the RTX 4070 is within 1.3% of the RTX 4080 Mobile, meaning the combo’s rank is not highly sensitive to minor GPU changes.

The combo’s rank of 1017 out of 3718 (27.4%) is respectable, but the data suggests that the system is holding back the GPU’s full potential. For a game like Undisputed, which is not extremely demanding, this pairing still delivers excellent performance, but the rank could improve with a CPU upgrade.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how the bottleneck shifts between CPU and GPU as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 349 (Low) to 143 (Ultra). The drop from Low to Medium is 80 FPS (349 to 269), and from Medium to High is 46 FPS (269 to 223). This pattern suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is the primary limiter; the GPU has enough headroom to render frames quickly, but the CPU cannot issue draw calls fast enough to push beyond ~350 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops to a range of 271 (Low) to 104 (Ultra). The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a reduction of 22.4% at Low settings (349 to 271), 13.9% at Medium (269 to 195), 27.8% at High (223 to 161), and 27.2% at Ultra (143 to 104). The smaller percentage drop at Medium suggests that the GPU is starting to become more relevant, but the CPU still has influence.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS drops to a range of 171 (Low) to 66 (Ultra). The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a reduction of 36.9% at Low (271 to 171), 36.9% at Medium (195 to 123), 36.6% at High (161 to 102), and 36.5% at Ultra (104 to 66). The consistent ~37% drop across all settings at 4K indicates that the GPU is now the clear bottleneck. The CPU’s impact is negligible at this resolution, as the GPU is fully saturated.

The resolution scaling analysis shows that at 1080p, the combo is CPU-limited; at 4K, it is GPU-limited. The crossover point appears to be somewhere between 1440p and 4K, where the load balances. For users with high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors, the CPU will prevent the system from reaching the GPU’s maximum potential, but the frame rates are still very high.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following data represents the exact measured average FPS for each resolution and settings combination. Minimum and maximum FPS are only provided for Medium settings across all resolutions.

1920x1080:

• Low: 349 FPS (avg)
• Medium: 269 FPS (avg), 229 FPS (min), 310 FPS (max)
• High: 223 FPS (avg)
• Ultra: 143 FPS (avg)

2560x1440:

• Low: 271 FPS (avg)
• Medium: 195 FPS (avg), 165 FPS (min), 224 FPS (max)
• High: 161 FPS (avg)
• Ultra: 104 FPS (avg)

3840x2160:

• Low: 171 FPS (avg)
• Medium: 123 FPS (avg), 105 FPS (min), 142 FPS (max)
• High: 102 FPS (avg)
• Ultra: 66 FPS (avg)

The data shows a consistent pattern: for each resolution, the FPS drops by a nearly constant percentage when moving from Low to Medium, then a smaller drop from Medium to High, and a larger drop from High to Ultra. For example, at 1080p, the drops are: Low to Medium (22.9% reduction), Medium to High (17.1% reduction), and High to Ultra (35.9% reduction). This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces a significant computational load, likely from advanced lighting or shadow effects.

At Medium settings, the minimum FPS values are all above 100 FPS, even at 4K (105 FPS). This indicates that the combo can maintain a smooth experience at Medium settings across all resolutions. At Ultra settings, the 4K average of 66 FPS is the only result below 100 FPS, which is still playable but may not be ideal for competitive play.

The frame time consistency, as indicated by the min/max values at Medium, shows that the combo is stable. At 1080p Medium, the range is 229-310 FPS, a variance of 81 FPS. At 4K Medium, the range is 105-142 FPS, a variance of 37 FPS. The tighter range at higher resolutions suggests that the GPU’s workload is more consistent, reducing frame pacing issues.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user’s display resolution and refresh rate. The data shows that the combo can achieve high frame rates at all settings, but the best experience balances visual quality with frame rate stability.

For 1920x1080 displays, the High preset offers an excellent balance. The average FPS of 223 is well above the 144Hz refresh rate common on such monitors, and it is 56% higher than the Ultra preset’s 143 FPS. The Medium preset provides 269 FPS, but the visual improvement from Medium to High is often more noticeable than the frame rate drop. The Ultra preset at 143 FPS is still smooth but leaves performance on the table; the data suggests that High is the sweet spot for 1080p.

For 2560x1440 displays, the Medium preset is the recommended choice. The average FPS of 195 is sufficient for 144Hz monitors, and the minimum FPS of 165 ensures no drops below the refresh rate. The High preset at 161 FPS is close, but the Medium preset’s higher minimum (165 vs. no data for High) and the fact that it is 21% faster than High suggests better headroom. The Ultra preset at 104 FPS is playable but may cause noticeable dips on high-refresh-rate displays.

For 3840x2160 displays, the Low preset is the only option that guarantees a high refresh rate experience. The average FPS of 171 is excellent for 4K, but the visual quality may be lacking. The Medium preset at 123 FPS is the best balance for 4K, offering a significant visual upgrade over Low while maintaining an average FPS above 120. The High preset at 102 FPS is acceptable for 60Hz displays, but the Medium preset’s 21% higher frame rate is preferable. The Ultra preset at 66 FPS should be avoided unless the user prioritizes visuals over performance.

In summary, the data indicates that the Medium preset is the most versatile choice across all resolutions, as it provides the best combination of high average FPS, stable minimum FPS, and reasonable visual quality. For users with 1080p displays, High is recommended for the best visual-to-performance ratio. For 4K users, Medium is the recommended compromise, as it keeps the average FPS above 120 while offering a substantial upgrade over Low settings.
