Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 produces a broad range of frame rates in Undisputed, depending on resolution and preset. The measured data reveals a system that scales predictably, with the GPU becoming the primary constraint at higher resolutions while the CPU holds up well at lower settings. This analysis examines the benchmark rows to explain what the numbers mean for players using this specific combination.

Resolution Scaling

The most striking pattern in the measured FPS data is how performance drops as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo averages 308 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low drops that to 222 FPS, a reduction of 86 FPS. At 3840x2160 with Low settings, the average falls further to 141 FPS, which is less than half of the 1080p Low result. This steep decline—from 308 to 141 FPS—indicates that the RTX 3070 is doing progressively more work per frame as pixel count climbs, and the scaling is not linear.

Look at the High preset across resolutions. At 1080p High, the average is 183 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 132 FPS, a 51 FPS loss. At 4K High, the average is 84 FPS, which is 99 FPS below the 1080p number. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at High is roughly 54%. For Medium settings, the progression is 221 FPS at 1080p, 160 FPS at 1440p, and 101 FPS at 4K. The 4K Medium result sits at less than half of the 1080p Medium value. Ultra settings follow the same direction: 118 FPS at 1080p, 85 FPS at 1440p, and 54 FPS at 4K.

These numbers suggest that the limiting component changes with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU still has headroom, as evidenced by the 308 FPS Low result—a figure that far exceeds typical display refresh rates. The GPU is not fully saturated at that point. But by 4K, the RTX 3070’s workload increases dramatically, and the average FPS at Ultra falls to 54, which is still playable but indicates the GPU is the bottleneck. The data shows a consistent pattern: every settings tier loses roughly 40-50% of its FPS when moving from 1080p to 4K. This is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario at high resolutions, where the Ryzen 5 5600X’s six cores are sufficient to feed the graphics card.

GPU Role

The RTX 3070 is the dominant factor in these results, particularly at 1440p and 4K. Its memory configuration includes 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 1500 MHz with a boost clock of 1725 MHz. These specifications explain why the card can push 141 FPS at 4K Low but only 54 FPS at 4K Ultra. The jump from Low to Ultra at any resolution increases the graphical workload—shadows, textures, and post-processing effects—which directly impacts the GPU’s output.

The GPU’s benchmark scores contextualize its position. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 3162, and PassMark G3D returns 22214. These place the RTX 3070 at the 61st percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT (0.7% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (1% higher), and the AMD Radeon HD 7970M (1.1% higher). Notably, the RTX 3070 outperforms the NVIDIA Tesla K40c by 1.5%. These deltas are small, suggesting the card sits in a competitive mid-range tier.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s role is clear from the measured FPS. At 4K Ultra, the average of 54 FPS is the lowest recorded value across all rows. That result aligns with a GPU that has 8 GB of VRAM and a 256-bit memory bus—enough for 1080p and 1440p gaming but stretched at 4K with maxed settings. The 4K Medium result of 101 FPS shows that dialing back settings can recover significant performance, but the card still cannot match its 1080p Medium output of 221 FPS. The data implies that the RTX 3070 is best suited for 1440p gaming in this title, where it achieves 132 FPS at High and 160 FPS at Medium, both of which are smooth for competitive play.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X provides the processing foundation for this combo. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Zen 3 architecture, built on a 7 nm process, includes 32 MB of L3 cache. These specs translate to solid single-thread performance, as shown by a Geekbench single-core score of 1989 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1541. Multi-threaded results are also respectable: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 11838, and Geekbench multi-core reaches 9173.

The CPU’s percentile ranking is 75 among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21771. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H (0.1% higher), the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U (0.5% lower), and the Intel Core i7-11700 (0.5% lower). These small deltas indicate that the 5600X is competitive with recent laptop and desktop chips, though it does not lead its class.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role becomes apparent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 308 FPS, which is likely beyond what the RTX 3070 can render if it were the sole bottleneck. That high number suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU quickly at 1080p. However, the drop to 222 FPS at 1440p Low and 141 FPS at 4K Low indicates that the GPU starts to take over as the limiting factor. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for this sports title, as evidenced by the fact that even at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 54—a number that would be much lower if the CPU were struggling to keep up.

The 3DMark thread scores provide further insight. The single-thread score is 917, while the 2-thread score is 1793, and the 16-thread score is 5582. These numbers show that the CPU scales well with additional threads, but Undisputed likely does not heavily utilize all 12 threads. The PassMark physics score of 1316 and single-thread score of 3364 reinforce that the CPU has strong per-core performance, which is what matters for most game engines.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 5600X and RTX 3070 ranks 1591 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the 43rd percentile of all combinations, meaning roughly 57% of tested combos perform better in this game. The rank is a function of both components working together, and the measured FPS data explains why it does not rank higher.

At 1080p, the combo delivers excellent results—183 FPS at High and 118 FPS at Ultra—which would satisfy most players. At 1440p, the numbers remain strong: 132 FPS at High and 85 FPS at Ultra. Only at 4K does the combo fall behind, with 84 FPS at High and 54 FPS at Ultra. The rank of 1591 likely reflects the fact that newer or higher-end GPUs can achieve higher frame rates at 4K, while this combo is optimized for 1440p or lower.

The GPU’s percentile of 61 and the CPU’s percentile of 75 both contribute to this mid-pack ranking. The RTX 3070 is not a flagship card, and the 5600X, while capable, is not a top-tier CPU. Together, they form a balanced pairing that excels at 1080p and 1440p but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with maxed settings. The data shows that for players targeting 1440p High, this combo delivers 132 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. For 4K, dropping to Medium yields 101 FPS, which is still playable but requires a settings sacrifice.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, all presets produce playable frame rates. The Low preset averages 308 FPS, which is excessive for most displays, but it shows the system’s headroom. Medium achieves 221 FPS, High reaches 183 FPS, and Ultra still manages 118 FPS. For 1080p, the best experience per the data is the High preset, which balances visual quality with a frame rate that exceeds 144 Hz monitors. Ultra would also work, but the 118 FPS average is lower and may not justify the visual gains.

At 2560x1440, the recommendations shift. Low averages 222 FPS, Medium 160 FPS, High 132 FPS, and Ultra 85 FPS. The High preset at 132 FPS is the sweet spot for most players, as it provides strong visuals without dropping below the 120 FPS mark. Medium at 160 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing frame rate over fidelity. Ultra at 85 FPS is playable but may feel less smooth on high-refresh displays. The data suggests avoiding Ultra at 1440p if you have a 144 Hz monitor, as the 85 FPS average falls short.

At 3840x2160, the choices are more constrained. Low averages 141 FPS, Medium 101 FPS, High 84 FPS, and Ultra 54 FPS. For 4K, the Medium preset offers the best balance, with 101 FPS that is smooth on 60 Hz and 120 Hz displays. High at 84 FPS is still acceptable, but Ultra at 54 FPS dips below 60, which may cause noticeable stutter. The data implies that 4K Ultra is not recommended for this combo, as the 54 FPS average is the lowest recorded. Low at 141 FPS is an option for competitive play, but the visual quality is significantly reduced.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset provides the most consistent experience relative to frame rate. At 1080p Medium, the average is 221 FPS with a minimum of 188 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 160 FPS with a minimum of 136 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 101 FPS with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 116 FPS. These min FPS values, where available, indicate that frame pacing is stable, making Medium the safest choice for a smooth experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides exact numbers for each resolution and settings combination. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 308 FPS with no min or max recorded. Medium averages 221 FPS, with a minimum of 188 FPS and a maximum of 255 FPS. High averages 183 FPS, and Ultra averages 118 FPS, neither with min or max values.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 222 FPS. Medium averages 160 FPS, with a minimum of 136 FPS and a maximum of 184 FPS. High averages 132 FPS, and Ultra averages 85 FPS, again without min or max data.

At 3840x2160, Low averages 141 FPS. Medium averages 101 FPS, with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 116 FPS. High averages 84 FPS, and Ultra averages 54 FPS, with no min or max values for these presets.

The only rows with min and max FPS are the Medium settings at each resolution. This suggests that the testing methodology captured frame variance for Medium, but not for other presets. The min FPS values are notably close to the averages—at 1080p Medium, the min of 188 FPS is 33 FPS below the average of 221 FPS, indicating occasional dips. At 1440p Medium, the min of 136 FPS is 24 FPS below the 160 average. At 4K Medium, the min of 86 FPS is 15 FPS below the 101 average. These dips are minor and would not be perceptible in most gameplay.

The Ultra preset shows the largest performance cost. At 4K Ultra, the average of 54 FPS is 47 FPS lower than 4K Medium. At 1440p Ultra, the average of 85 FPS is 75 FPS lower than 1440p Medium. At 1080p Ultra, the average of 118 FPS is 103 FPS lower than 1080p Medium. This consistent drop indicates that the Ultra preset introduces significant graphical overhead that the RTX 3070 cannot fully handle at higher resolutions.
