*Q: Does the GTX 1070's VRAM limit performance in Undisputed?*

A: The GTX 1070 has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit bus and 256.3 GB/s bandwidth. For a sports title, 8 GB is generally sufficient. The data shows no VRAM-related stutters; the minimum FPS at 1080p Medium is 115, and at 1440p Medium, it is 83. The bottleneck at higher settings appears to be compute throughput, not memory capacity.

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

The measured FPS data shows a clear trend of decreasing performance as resolution increases, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 112 at 1080p to 81 at 1440p, a reduction of 27.7%. Moving to 4K High, the FPS drops further to 51, a 37% reduction from 1440p and a 54.5% drop from 1080p.

This scaling pattern indicates the GTX 1070 is the limiting component. The Ryzen 5 7600 has enough single-thread and multi-thread performance to maintain high frame rates; the CPU's 3DMark max-thread score of 6503 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12735 show it can handle the game's load. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain relatively flat across resolutions, but the data shows a steep decline, which is characteristic of GPU rendering limits.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced: 188 FPS at 1080p drops to 136 FPS at 1440p (a 27.7% drop) and then to 86 FPS at 4K (a 36.8% drop from 1440p). The fact that the FPS nearly halves from 1080p to 4K at Low settings suggests the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are being saturated. The GTX 1070's pixel rate is 107.7 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 202.0 GTexel/s, which are modest by modern standards.

The performance gap between Low and Ultra settings at each resolution also highlights the GPU's limits. At 1080p, Low yields 188 FPS while Ultra yields 72 FPS, a 2.6x difference. At 4K, the difference is 86 FPS versus 33 FPS, a 2.6x difference as well. This consistent ratio suggests the GPU's shading units (1920) and ROPs (64) are being pushed harder as settings increase, regardless of resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data covers four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) across three resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4K). Here is the complete breakdown:

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: 188 FPS average
• Medium: 135 FPS average, 115 FPS minimum, 155 FPS maximum
• High: 112 FPS average
• Ultra: 72 FPS average

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: 136 FPS average
• Medium: 98 FPS average, 83 FPS minimum, 112 FPS maximum
• High: 81 FPS average
• Ultra: 52 FPS average

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: 86 FPS average
• Medium: 62 FPS average, 53 FPS minimum, 71 FPS maximum
• High: 51 FPS average
• Ultra: 33 FPS average

The Medium preset is the only one with reported minimum and maximum FPS values, providing a window into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 115 FPS and maximum of 155 FPS show a tight range, indicating stable performance. At 1440p Medium, the range is 83 to 112 FPS, still consistent. At 4K Medium, the range is 53 to 71 FPS, which is acceptable for a sports game but shows more variance.

The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p is significant: 188 FPS to 135 FPS, a 28.2% drop. From Medium to High, it drops to 112 FPS, a 17% reduction. From High to Ultra, it drops to 72 FPS, a 35.7% reduction. This pattern repeats at 1440p and 4K, with the largest relative drop occurring between High and Ultra settings. This suggests the Ultra preset introduces heavy effects that disproportionately tax the GPU.

At 4K, the only playable settings are Low (86 FPS), Medium (62 FPS), and High (51 FPS). Ultra at 33 FPS is borderline unplayable for a game that requires precise timing for punches and dodges. The data shows that 4K gaming is possible but requires sacrificing visual quality settings.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 is based on the GP104 chip, built on TSMC's 16 nm process with 7,200 million transistors on a 314 mm² die. It features 1920 shading units, 120 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The core clock runs at 1506 MHz base and boosts to 1683 MHz. Memory is 8 GB of GDDR5 running at 2002 MHz (8 Gbps effective) on a 256-bit bus, providing 256.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's FP32 performance is 6.463 TFLOPS.

The GTX 1070's average benchmark score is 9780, placing it in the 47th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all within 1%: the AMD FirePro W5000 scores 9803 (0.2% faster), the NVIDIA Quadro M2000M scores 9832 (0.5% faster), the NVIDIA Tesla M10 scores 9724 (0.6% slower), and the NVIDIA Tesla C2070 scores 9716 (0.7% slower). These are all older or lower-tier cards, confirming the GTX 1070's mid-range status in the current landscape.

In Undisputed, the GTX 1070's performance is directly tied to its shading and memory capabilities. At 1080p, the GPU can push high frame rates because the pixel count is low enough for the 6.463 TFLOPS to handle. The 188 FPS at Low settings shows the GPU is not heavily taxed at that resolution. However, as resolution increases, the number of pixels the GPU must process quadruples from 1080p to 4K, and the 256.3 GB/s memory bandwidth becomes a limiting factor.

The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for this game. The minimum FPS values at Medium settings (115 at 1080p, 83 at 1440p, 53 at 4K) do not indicate any memory-related stuttering. The bottleneck at higher settings is compute-bound: the 1920 shading units are being asked to render more complex lighting and shadows at Ultra, which explains the steep drop from High to Ultra (e.g., 112 to 72 FPS at 1080p).

The GPU's 47th percentile ranking means it sits below the median of all GPUs. In a sports game that is not particularly demanding, this is acceptable for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The data shows the GTX 1070 can handle 4K at lower settings, but for a consistent 60 FPS experience, 1080p or 1440p is the safer choice.

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

Based on the measured FPS data, the recommended settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For a sports game like Undisputed, maintaining a frame rate above 60 FPS is crucial for responsive gameplay, especially for counter-punching and dodging.

For 1080p (1920x1080): The High preset is the best balance of visual quality and performance. It delivers 112 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold. The Medium preset offers 135 FPS with a minimum of 115 FPS, making it a better choice for players who prioritize smoothness over visuals. Ultra at 72 FPS is still playable but the visual upgrade over High is likely minimal given the 35.7% performance cost. Low at 188 FPS is overkill and unnecessary.

For 1440p (2560x1440): The High preset provides 81 FPS average, which is solid for a sports game. The Medium preset offers 98 FPS with a minimum of 83 FPS, ensuring no drops below 60 FPS. Ultra at 52 FPS is below the 60 FPS target and should be avoided for competitive play. Low at 136 FPS is excessive. The data suggests Medium or High is optimal at this resolution, with High offering better visuals at a 17% FPS cost.

For 4K (3840x2160): The High preset is the highest playable option, delivering 51 FPS average. This is just below 60 FPS but may be acceptable for a slower-paced sports title. The Medium preset offers 62 FPS with a minimum of 53 FPS, which is a safer choice for maintaining playable frame rates. Ultra at 33 FPS is not recommended, as it will feel sluggish. Low at 86 FPS is playable but sacrifices significant visual fidelity.

Overall recommendation: For the best experience, use 1080p with the High preset (112 FPS) or 1440p with the Medium preset (98 FPS). If you have a 4K display, the Medium preset (62 FPS) is the only option that stays above 60 FPS average. The Ultra preset should be avoided at all resolutions, as the performance penalty is steep and the visual gains are unlikely to justify the frame rate drop.

The data shows this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming. At 4K, the GTX 1070's limits are exposed, and players will need to compromise on settings. For a game like Undisputed, where timing is critical, prioritize frame rate over visual effects. The measured results indicate that Medium or High settings at 1080p or 1440p provide the smoothest and most responsive experience.
