CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, built on TSMC's 7 nm process node. It operates with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. This desktop-class chip supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. The processor is unlocked for overclocking and uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform.

In the context of Undisputed, a sports title, the CPU's role is to manage the physics, AI opponent behavior, and the game's simulation logic between rounds. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is well-suited for this workload. Benchmark results indicate the Ryzen 5 5600 achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18309 and a single-core score of 2584. Its single-thread performance is particularly relevant for the core game loop, which typically relies on a few heavily loaded threads for real-time decision-making.

The CPU's 3DMark results show a scaling pattern that aligns with its thread count: a 2-thread score of 1737, a 4-thread score of 3313, an 8-thread score of 4798, and a max-thread score of 5659. This near-linear scaling from 4 to 8 threads suggests that the game engine effectively utilizes the available cores. The Ryzen 5 5600 ranks in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, demonstrating it is a solid, mid-range performer. Its average benchmark score of 20468 places it in a tight pack with rivals like the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V, which scores 20454 (a 0.1% difference), and the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G, which scores 20425 (a 0.2% difference). These near-identical scores indicate that the 5600 is not a performance outlier in either a positive or negative direction; it is a consistent, predictable processor.

For Undisputed, the CPU is likely not the limiting factor at any resolution. The measured frame rates at 1080p with Low settings (417 FPS average) and Medium settings (300 FPS average) are so high that they suggest the Ryzen 5 5600 has more than enough headroom to feed the GPU. The data implies that the game is not CPU-bound in these scenarios, as the frame rate scales significantly with GPU load (setting changes) and resolution, rather than hitting a flat ceiling imposed by the processor.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of the exceptional frame rates observed. This GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and the AD104 chip, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, along with 56 ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective).

The RTX 4070 SUPER is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This memory configuration is a critical factor for high-resolution gaming. At 4K (3840x2160), the Ultra preset demands significant memory bandwidth and capacity, and the 12 GB frame buffer is sufficient to handle the textures and geometry without stuttering, as evidenced by the playable 73 FPS average at that setting. The GPU's pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s are robust, allowing it to fill the screen with high-detail visuals at high speeds.

The GPU's compute capabilities are substantial, with an FP32 throughput of 35.48 TFLOPS. In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4070 SUPER scores 29995 in Passmark G3D and 4627 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. It ranks in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, indicating it sits above the majority of graphics cards. Its average benchmark score is 43223, which places it in a competitive position. The nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (score 43262, -0.1% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (score 43268, -0.1% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (score 43667, -1% delta). The data shows the RTX 4070 SUPER is essentially on par with these high-end mobile and professional parts in raw compute, but its desktop-class power delivery and cooling allow it to sustain these performance levels in a gaming workload.

The GPU's role in Undisputed is to render the boxers, the ring, and the crowd with high fidelity. The benchmark results show a clear GPU-bound scenario. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 417 FPS. As the resolution increases to 1440p, the frame rate drops to 301 FPS at Low settings. At 4K Low, it maintains 191 FPS. This scaling pattern is a classic indicator of a GPU that is being progressively more stressed as the pixel count increases, with the CPU remaining a constant in the background.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a classic resolution scaling curve, which provides clear evidence of a GPU-bound system. At 1080p (1920x1080) with High settings, the combo averages 248 FPS. Moving to 1440p (2560x1440) with the same High settings, the average drops to 179 FPS, a reduction of 69 FPS (about 28%). At 4K (3840x2160) with High settings, the average falls further to 113 FPS, a 54 FPS drop from 1440p (about 30%).

This pattern is more pronounced at lower settings. At Low settings, the frame rate plummets from 417 FPS at 1080p to 301 FPS at 1440p (a 116 FPS drop) and then to 191 FPS at 4K (a 110 FPS drop). The absolute numbers are higher, but the percentage drops are more severe. At Medium settings, we see the only recorded minimum and maximum FPS values: at 1080p, the average is 300 FPS with a min of 255 and a max of 345; at 1440p, the average is 217 FPS with a min of 184 and a max of 249; at 4K, the average is 137 FPS with a min of 117 and a max of 158.

The fact that frame rates scale so dramatically with resolution indicates that the rendering workload is the primary factor. If the system were CPU-bound, the frame rates would remain relatively stable across resolutions, as the CPU would be the bottleneck regardless of pixel count. Instead, the data shows a consistent decline in FPS as the resolution increases, which is the signature of a GPU that is working harder to fill more pixels. The RTX 4070 SUPER is clearly the component that is being stressed the most, and its performance limits are what define the frame rates at each resolution. The CPU, on the other hand, appears to have ample headroom, as the frame rates at 1080p are high enough to suggest it is not a constraint.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The benchmark data provides a clear picture of the performance trade-offs across the four available presets: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The choice of the best preset depends on the user's priority: maximum frame rate, visual fidelity, or a balance of both.

For players seeking the absolute highest frame rate for competitive advantage or use with a very high refresh rate monitor (e.g., 360Hz or higher), the Low preset at 1080p is the only option, delivering an average of 417 FPS. However, this comes at the cost of visual quality. At 1440p, the Low preset still offers an excellent 301 FPS, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate display. For 4K, the Low preset yields 191 FPS, which is still exceptionally smooth.

The High preset appears to be the sweet spot for a premium experience. At 1080p, it delivers 248 FPS, which is still significantly high. At 1440p, it drops to 179 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz or 165Hz monitors. At 4K, it maintains a solid 113 FPS, which is excellent for a 120Hz display. The High preset offers a substantial improvement in visual fidelity over Low and Medium while keeping frame rates in a range that is both very smooth and highly responsive.

The Ultra preset is the most demanding, but it is still playable. At 1080p, it averages 160 FPS, at 1440p it averages 115 FPS, and at 4K it averages 73 FPS. This preset is best suited for players with a 1440p 120Hz monitor or a 4K 60Hz monitor who prioritize the highest level of graphical detail, such as enhanced shadows and crowd detail. The data suggests that the Medium preset is a reasonable middle ground, but its performance (300 FPS at 1080p, 217 FPS at 1440p, 137 FPS at 4K) does not offer a significant advantage over High in terms of smoothness, while likely sacrificing some visual quality.

Given the data, the recommended preset is High for most users. It provides the best balance between visual quality and performance across all resolutions. For 4K users with high refresh rate displays, High is the clear choice. For those with 1440p monitors, High is also recommended, as it offers a massive FPS advantage over Ultra (179 vs 115) with only a moderate visual compromise. The Ultra preset should be reserved for players with 4K 60Hz displays who are willing to sacrifice frame rate for maximum detail. The Low preset is only recommended for esports-style play where frame rate is the sole priority.
