The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 presents a fascinating study in bottleneck dynamics for Undisputed. The data reveals a combination that is heavily constrained by the graphics card at higher resolutions, yet demonstrates surprising headroom at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, component roles, and overall ranking based on the benchmark data.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average frame rate achievable with this combo at 1080p?

A: The highest measured average FPS is 189.9, which occurs at 1080p with Low settings. This is a significant jump from the 70.7 FPS recorded at Ultra settings at the same resolution.

Q: How does the CPU's multi-threaded performance compare to its closest rival?

A: The Ryzen 5 7500F scores 22,799 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. Its closest rival, the Intel Core i7-11850H, has an average benchmark score that is only 0.1% higher, indicating a near-identical level of multi-threaded performance between these two processors.

Q: Is the GTX 1070 more similar in performance to the GTX 1650 SUPER or the Quadro K4200?

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops from 133.7 on Low settings to 54.6 on Ultra settings. This represents a substantial 79.1 FPS penalty for enabling the highest visual fidelity.

Q: Does the GTX 1070 support modern graphics APIs?

A: Yes, the GPU's specifications list support for DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. This indicates it can run games using contemporary rendering APIs.

Q: How does the combo rank among all tested system configurations for this game?

A: The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 ranks 1332nd out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the lower percentile of tested systems.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is the primary performance limiter in this system for Undisputed at higher resolutions. Built on the Pascal architecture with a 16 nm process, it features 1,920 shading units, 120 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Its performance is defined by a boost clock of 1683 MHz and a memory configuration of 8 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 256.3 GB/s.

The GPU's role becomes evident when observing the FPS scaling with settings. At 4K, the card is clearly overburdened by Ultra settings, managing only 30.9 FPS. However, dropping to Low settings at the same resolution yields 87.3 FPS, a 56.4 FPS increase. This dramatic swing indicates that the GTX 1070's raw compute and fillrate capabilities (107.7 GPixel/s pixel rate and 6.463 TFLOPS FP32) are the limiting factors, not the CPU. The data shows that the GTX 1070, which holds a 51st percentile ranking among all GPUs, has enough power for smooth gameplay at lower presets but struggles to maintain high frame rates when pixel shading demands increase.

Resolution Scaling

The benchmark data shows a clear and consistent pattern of FPS degradation as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 110.5 at 1920x1080 to 81.2 at 2560x1440, and finally to 51.2 at 3840x2160. This scaling strongly suggests the GTX 1070 is the limiting component, as the workload on the GPU increases exponentially with pixel count.

The trend is even more pronounced at Ultra settings, where the frame rate falls from 70.7 FPS at 1080p to 54.6 FPS at 1440p, and then plummets to 30.9 FPS at 4K. The 39.8 FPS difference between 1080p and 4K at Ultra settings indicates that the game's high-detail effects place an immense strain on the GTX 1070's 8 GB of VRAM and processing cores. In contrast, the CPU's role is less defined by resolution, meaning the Ryzen 5 7500F is likely not the primary constraint at any resolution, but the GPU's performance ceiling is hit much sooner at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset provides an excellent balance, delivering an average of 110.5 FPS. This is a highly playable frame rate that remains well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

For 2560x1440, the Medium preset appears to be the sweet spot, achieving an average of 100.4 FPS. While the Low preset offers a higher 133.7 FPS, the Medium settings likely provide a significantly better visual experience while still maintaining a very high frame rate. At 3840x2160, the data suggests that even the High preset is a compromise, with an average of 51.2 FPS. Players targeting 4K would need to use the Low preset (87.3 FPS) for a fluid experience, as the High and Ultra presets fall below 60 FPS, with Ultra being nearly unplayable at 30.9 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data reveals the full performance envelope of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 combination in Undisputed.

At 1920x1080, the settings scale predictably:

• Low: 189.9 FPS
• Medium: 136.6 FPS
• High: 110.5 FPS
• Ultra: 70.7 FPS

At 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably:

• Low: 133.7 FPS
• Medium: 100.4 FPS
• High: 81.2 FPS
• Ultra: 54.6 FPS

At 3840x2160, the GTX 1070 is pushed to its limits:

• Low: 87.3 FPS
• Medium: 62.8 FPS
• High: 51.2 FPS
• Ultra: 30.9 FPS

The data shows that the gap between Low and Ultra widens with resolution, from a 119.2 FPS difference at 1080p to a 56.4 FPS difference at 4K, demonstrating the GPU's workload becoming the dominant factor.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a modern 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael. It operates on the AM5 socket and features a base clock of 3.70 GHz with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and support for DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s ensure it can feed the GTX 1070 with data without becoming a bottleneck in most scenarios.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU. The benchmark scores show a strong processor, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22,799 and a single-core score of 3,218. This places it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs, and its average benchmark score of 24,993 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, which is only 0.3% slower. The data implies that the Ryzen 5 7500F is more than capable of handling the game's physics and AI calculations, as the FPS drops from 1080p to 4K are almost entirely attributable to the GPU's rendering workload.

How This Combo Ranks

The system's overall ranking in Undisputed is 1332nd out of 1580 tested combinations. This places the combo in the lower 15.7% of all tested systems, which is a direct consequence of the aging GTX 1070.

The CPU is a high-performing component, ranking in the 82nd percentile, but the GPU only manages a 51st percentile ranking. This mismatch creates a significant bottleneck where the GTX 1070 holds back the Ryzen 5 7500F. The GPU's average benchmark score of 12,331 is only 0.7% higher than the NVIDIA Quadro K4200, its closest rival, highlighting that while the GPU is not the absolute slowest, it is far from being a top-tier performer in 2024. The benchmark results for this combo show that while the CPU provides a solid foundation, the overall gaming experience in Undisputed is severely limited by the graphics card's inability to maintain high frame rates at higher resolutions and detail settings.
