Undisputed

Undisputed is a demanding sports title, but this specific combination of an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a remarkably smooth experience across all resolutions. The benchmark data shows that this system is heavily GPU-bound at 4K, yet transitions to a more balanced, CPU-sensitive state at 1080p, where frame rates exceed what most high-refresh displays can even use. The measured results place this configuration in the 895th rank out of 3718 total tested combos, putting it in the top quarter of all systems for this game.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear shift in system bottleneck. At 1080p with High settings, the combo produces 223 FPS, which drops to 161 FPS at 1440p and then to 102 FPS at 4K. This represents a 54% performance reduction when moving from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the GPU is scaling as expected with pixel count. The pattern is consistent across all settings presets, though the magnitude of the drop varies significantly.

The Low preset shows the most extreme scaling behavior. At 1080p, the system delivers 374 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded for this combo. At 1440p, this falls to 271 FPS, and at 4K it reaches 171 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K here is 54%, suggesting that even at the lowest visual quality, the GPU remains the limiting factor at higher resolutions. However, the absolute numbers indicate that at 1080p Low, the CPU is likely the primary constraint, as the GPU is capable of far more than 374 FPS in this scenario.

The Medium preset provides the most complete data with minimum and maximum frame times recorded. At 1080p Medium, the average is 269 FPS with a minimum of 229 FPS and maximum of 310 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 195 FPS with a minimum of 165 FPS and maximum of 224 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 123 FPS with a minimum of 105 FPS and maximum of 142 FPS. The consistent gap between minimum and maximum frames suggests stable performance without significant hitches.

The Ultra preset shows the steepest scaling curve. At 1080p Ultra, the system achieves 143 FPS, which is still very playable. At 1440p Ultra, this falls to 104 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it drops to 66 FPS. The 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings mirrors the other presets, but the absolute values suggest that Ultra at 4K is the only configuration that approaches the lower limits of smooth gameplay, with 66 FPS being below the 70 FPS threshold that many players consider ideal for fast-paced sports action.

The scaling data indicates that this system is primarily GPU-limited at 4K across all settings, but at 1080p, the CPU begins to play a more significant role. The fact that 1080p Low produces 374 FPS while 1080p Ultra produces 143 FPS shows a 62% performance difference attributed entirely to GPU workload, since the CPU workload remains relatively constant. This suggests that the RTX 4070 has substantial headroom at lower resolutions, and the Ryzen 5 5600X becomes the constraining factor.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the dominant component in this system for Undisputed, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is more than sufficient for Undisputed, as the game does not appear to exceed the 12 GB capacity at any tested settings, even at 4K Ultra where the GPU is clearly the bottleneck.

The RTX 4070's clock speeds are notable: a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz. The memory operates at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed. These clocks, combined with the 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, give the GPU a pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance of 29.15 TFLOPS is substantial for a sports title like Undisputed.

In the benchmark database, the RTX 4070 ranks in the 81st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37648. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with a score of 37628 (0.1% slower), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 with 37507 (0.4% slower), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile with 38135 (1.3% faster). This places the RTX 4070 in a competitive position, though the delta percentages are small enough that real-world gaming performance differences would be minimal.

The GPU's role in Undisputed is most evident in the 4K results. At 4K Ultra, the system produces 66 FPS, which represents a 54% drop from the 143 FPS at 1080p Ultra. This scaling is typical for a GPU-bound scenario, where doubling the pixel count roughly halves the frame rate. The fact that this pattern holds across all settings confirms that the RTX 4070 is the primary limiter at 4K, regardless of visual quality level.

The GPU's 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores are present but not heavily utilized in this game, as Undisputed does not appear to leverage these features significantly based on the frame rate data. The DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility indicate the GPU is ready for modern rendering techniques, but the measured performance suggests the game's workload is more traditional in nature.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X serves as the system's processor, providing 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture. With a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, this CPU is well-suited for gaming workloads. The 32 MB of L3 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core help reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for the physics and AI calculations in a sports simulation like Undisputed.

The CPU's benchmark scores show a strong single-threaded performance relative to its multi-threaded capabilities. In Cinebench R23, it scores 1541 points single-core and 11838 points multi-core, with a ratio of about 7.7:1 between multi and single-threaded results. This indicates that the CPU has good single-threaded performance, which is often more important for gaming than raw multi-core throughput.

In the broader CPU benchmark database, the Ryzen 5 5600X ranks in the 75th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 21771. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with a score of 21749 (0.1% faster), the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U with 21874 (0.5% slower), and the Intel Core i7-11700 with 21891 (0.5% slower). The extremely small delta percentages indicate that these CPUs are effectively equivalent in overall performance, despite having different core counts and architectures.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the system produces 374 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame rate capability for this game. The fact that 1080p Medium produces 269 FPS and 1080p High produces 223 FPS shows that the GPU is still contributing significantly at these settings, but the CPU is setting an upper ceiling.

The CPU's 12 threads are likely sufficient for Undisputed, as the game does not appear to be heavily multi-threaded based on the performance data. The single-threaded score of 917 in 3DMark and 1989 in Geekbench suggest that the CPU can handle the game's primary simulation thread without becoming a bottleneck. However, at 4K Ultra with 66 FPS, the CPU is clearly not the limiting factor, as the GPU is working at its maximum capacity.

The Ryzen 5 5600X's 65W TDP and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth provide a solid foundation for this GPU. The PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 lanes ensures that the RTX 4070 has full bandwidth available for data transfer. The CPU's 4,150 million transistors on a 7nm process node from TSMC indicate a mature architecture that has been well-optimized for gaming workloads.

Settings Recommendations

The data clearly indicates that the High preset at 1440p offers the best overall experience for this system. With 161 FPS average, it provides a smooth, responsive gameplay experience while maintaining good visual quality. The 1440p High result is 36% faster than the 4K High result, but the visual difference between 1440p and 4K is less noticeable in a sports game where motion is constant.

For players with 1080p displays, the High preset at 223 FPS is the recommended choice. This provides excellent visual quality with frame rates that exceed the refresh rate of most 1080p monitors. The Ultra preset at 143 FPS is also viable for those who prioritize visual fidelity, as it remains well above the 60 FPS threshold and provides 35% more visual detail compared to High.

At 4K, the Medium preset is the most balanced option. With 123 FPS average and a minimum of 105 FPS, it provides smooth gameplay with acceptable visual quality. The High preset at 102 FPS is also playable, but the Medium preset offers a 21% performance improvement with only a modest reduction in visual quality. The Ultra preset at 66 FPS should be avoided for competitive play, as the frame rate is too close to the 60 FPS minimum threshold.

The Low preset is not recommended for any resolution above 1080p, as the visual quality degradation is significant while the performance gains are marginal at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 374 FPS result is only useful for players with 360Hz monitors, which is a niche scenario. For most players, the Medium preset at 269 FPS provides a better balance of visual quality and performance at 1080p.

The frame time data from the Medium preset provides additional insight. At 1440p Medium, the 165 FPS minimum is well above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that even in demanding scenes, the system maintains smooth performance. At 4K Medium, the 105 FPS minimum is also comfortable, suggesting that this preset is the safest choice for 4K gaming with this combo.

For players who prioritize maximum frame rates over visual quality, the 1440p Low preset at 271 FPS is an option, but the visual trade-off is substantial. The 1440p Medium preset at 195 FPS offers a better compromise, providing 28% more visual quality at the cost of 28% performance. The High preset at 161 FPS continues this trend, offering 18% more visual quality at the cost of 17% performance.
