Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 in Undisputed show a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the system delivers 374 FPS, which drops to 271 FPS at 1440p and further to 171 FPS at 4K. That represents a 54.3% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GPU is becoming more heavily tasked as pixel count rises, while the CPU remains capable of feeding the graphics card with sufficient data at lower resolutions.

Looking at High settings, the pattern shifts. At 1080p High, the average is 223 FPS, which falls to 161 FPS at 1440p and 102 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings is 54.3%, identical to the Low preset’s scaling. This consistency suggests that Undisputed’s rendering pipeline scales predictably with resolution, and the difference between Low and High at each resolution is driven by GPU load rather than any sudden bottleneck shift.

The Medium preset tells a similar story. At 1080p, the average is 269 FPS, with a minimum of 229 and a maximum of 310. At 1440p, the average drops to 195 FPS (minimum 165, maximum 224). At 4K, the average is 123 FPS (minimum 105, maximum 142). The Medium preset shows a 54.3% reduction from 1080p to 4K, mirroring the scaling seen at Low and High. This uniformity across presets is notable; it suggests that Undisputed does not exhibit a sudden bottleneck shift between 1080p and 4K for this specific CPU-GPU combo.

Ultra settings, however, introduce a more dramatic scaling penalty. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 143 FPS, which is identical to the High setting at 4K. At 1440p Ultra, the average drops to 104 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, it falls to 66 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K Ultra is 53.8%, which is slightly smaller than the other presets, but the absolute numbers are much lower. This indicates that Ultra settings are heavily GPU-bound, as even at 1080p the rendering load is high enough to prevent the CPU from becoming the primary limiting factor.

The limiting component analysis shows that at 1080p Low and Medium, the CPU (Ryzen 5 7600X) is likely the bottleneck, as the GPU is capable of delivering 374 FPS at Low and 269 FPS at Medium, which are far above typical display refresh rates. At 4K Ultra, the GPU (RTX 4070) becomes the clear constraint, with the average dropping to 66 FPS. The fact that 4K Ultra still achieves over 60 FPS indicates that this combo is well-balanced for high-resolution play, but not for extreme settings.

Overall, the scaling pattern demonstrates that Undisputed is a moderately demanding title that scales almost linearly with resolution, and the Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the RTX 4070 is more GPU-limited at 4K Ultra and more CPU-limited at 1080p Low/Medium. This is consistent with a sports game that prioritizes fluidity across a wide range of hardware.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the primary driver of FPS at higher resolutions and preset levels. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for the textures and effects in Undisputed, even at 4K Ultra. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 66, which is playable but not ideal for high-refresh monitors. The GPU’s base clock is 1920 MHz, with a boost clock of 2475 MHz, and the memory runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These clocks, combined with the Ada Lovelace architecture on a 5 nm process node (TSMC foundry), allow the RTX 4070 to handle the game’s demands without excessive strain.

Looking at the GPU benchmarks, the RTX 4070 scores 3854 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, and 26927 in PassMark G3D, with a PassMark GPU compute score of 14720. These numbers place the GPU in the 81st percentile versus all GPUs, and its average benchmark score is 37648. The nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (deltaPct 0.1), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (deltaPct 0.4), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (deltaPct -1.3), and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (deltaPct 1.3). This shows that the RTX 4070 is closely matched with a narrow band of GPUs, and its performance in Undisputed is consistent with its overall benchmark profile.

The GPU’s FP32 performance is 29.15 TFLOPS, and it has 5888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. These are adequate for the game’s visual effects, but the RTX 4070 is not a high-end flagship card, which explains why 4K Ultra drops below 100 FPS. In contrast, at 4K Low, the GPU can push 171 FPS, indicating that the card’s raw power is more than enough for lower settings. The GPU’s TDP is 200 W, and it requires a 550 W system PSU, but this is not directly related to in-game performance.

The VRAM usage is not explicitly measured in the FPS data, but the 12 GB capacity is ample for the game’s requirements, especially at 1440p and 4K. At no point does the data suggest memory bandwidth or capacity is a limiting factor. Instead, the pure computational power of the GPU is the limiting factor at high resolutions and presets. The RTX 4070’s performance in Undisputed is consistent with its place in the benchmark hierarchy: strong at 1080p and 1440p, but not a 4K ultra-high settings monster.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU based on the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael) on AMD’s Socket AM5. It has a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with a TDP of 105 W. The CPU’s benchmarks show a single-thread score of 1060 in 3DMark and 314 in Cinebench R15 single-core, while multi-thread scores are 6879 in 3DMark 16 threads and 15236 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. These numbers indicate a strong single-core performer, which is important for sports games that often have one or two primary threads for physics and AI.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s influence is most visible at low resolutions. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 373, which is 54.3% higher than the 4K Low average of 171. This suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough frames to exceed 300 FPS at 1080p, making the CPU not a bottleneck at that resolution. However, at 4K Ultra, the CPU is not the limiting factor, as the GPU’s rendering load becomes the primary constraint. The CPU’s role is thus to provide a high frame ceiling that the GPU can then execute.

The 7600X’s nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X (deltaPct 0.2), Intel Core i5-12600K (deltaPct 0.2), AMD Ryzen 5 8500GE (deltaPct -0.3), and AMD Ryzen 7 5800 (deltaPct 0.4). These small deltas indicate that the 7600X is in a tight performance band with other mid-range CPUs, but its single-core strength is a differentiator. In Undisputed, the CPU’s 12 threads are likely more than enough for the game’s threading model, which is typical of sports titles. The game is not CPU-heavy at high resolutions, but at 1080p Low, the CPU is the reason the FPS is as high as 373.

The CPU’s 32MB L3 cache and 1 MB L2 per core help with data locality, but the game’s data set is likely small enough that this does not become a significant factor. The CPU’s memory bandwidth is 83.2 GB/s, which is more than sufficient for the game’s memory access patterns. The 7600X supports DDR5 memory, which is an advantage over older platforms, but the FPS data does not indicate a memory bottleneck.

In summary, the CPU’s role is to provide a stable, high frame rate at 1080p and 1440p, and it does so without becoming a limiting factor at higher resolutions. The 7600X’s single-core strength is sufficient for the game’s logic, and the multi-core capability is not heavily taxed. The CPU’s 79th percentile versus all CPUs and average benchmark score of 27636 confirm that it is a capable performer, but the game’s FPS at 4K is far more GPU-dependent.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination ranks 895th out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 24.1% of all combos tested in this game. The rank is determined by the measured FPS across the resolution/settings grid, and this combo’s performance is strong, particularly at 1080p and 1440p, where average FPS exceeds 100 in most presets.

The combo’s rank is not surprising given the individual components. The GPU is in the 81st percentile versus all GPUs, and the CPU is in the 79th percentile versus all CPUs. However, the game is more GPU-bound at high resolutions, so the CPU’s percentile has less impact on the final rank. The combo’s performance is better than the average combo (which would be around rank 1859), and it is clearly a capable setup for this title.

When comparing to other combos, the rank indicates that this is a top-tier setup for Undisputed, but not the absolute best. The GPU’s 12 GB memory and 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 performance are strong, but the RTX 4070 is not a 4K flagship. The CPU’s 6-core/12-thread configuration is sufficient for the game’s threading, but a high-end CPU with more cores would not significantly improve FPS at 4K due to the GPU limitation.

The combo’s rank is 895, which is a high position, and it reflects that the RTX 4070 is a good match for the Ryzen 5 7600X in this game. The performance is balanced, with the CPU providing a high frame ceiling for 1080p and the GPU delivering solid results at 4K, albeit not at Ultra settings. The data shows no obvious bottleneck that would pull the rank down, and the combo is a solid choice for Undisputed.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data allows for clear recommendations based on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, the Low preset yields the highest average FPS at 373, which is far beyond any practical need. Medium gives 330 FPS, and High gives 223, while Ultra drops to 143. For most 1080p users on a standard 60Hz or 144Hz display, High is the best balance: it offers 223 FPS, which is above 144 FPS, and the visual fidelity is significantly better than Medium. Ultra is not recommended at 1080p if the user aims for the highest refresh, but the 143 FPS average is still fine for 60Hz displays.

At 1440p, the Medium preset provides 195 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh monitors, while High gives 161 FPS, and Ultra gives 104 FPS. For a 144Hz display, Medium is the best choice, as it exceeds 144 FPS. If the user prefers visual quality over frame rate, High is a good choice at 161 FPS. Ultra at 1440p is not recommended for the typical 144Hz display, as it drops to 104 FPS, which is below the refresh rate, but it is still above 60 FPS for 60Hz screens.

At 4K, the situation is more nuanced. The Low preset gives 171 FPS, which is beyond 144Hz, but the visual quality is poor. Medium gives 123 FPS, which is good for 120Hz displays, and High gives 102 FPS, which is playable on 60Hz but not ideal for 120Hz. Ultra drops to 66 FPS, which is playable on 60Hz but not on 120Hz. The best experience for 4K is Medium, as it offers a 123 FPS average with a minimum of 105 FPS, which is above 100 FPS and provides a good balance of visual quality and performance. If the user has a 120Hz 4K display, Medium is the only preset that reaches the threshold, while High is a compromise at 102 FPS.

Overall, the recommendation is to use High at 1080p (223 FPS), Medium at 1440p (195 FPS), and Medium at 4K (123 FPS) for the best balance of visual quality and performance, based on the measured data. Ultra settings are only recommended for 1080p displays with a 60Hz refresh, as the 143 FPS average is still playable, but the visual improvement over High is marginal. For competitive play, loosing to Low at 1080p (373 FPS) or 1440p (271 FPS) may be optimal, but for 4K, the Low preset (171 FPS) is a viable option for esports-level response.
