Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F pairs a six-core, twelve-thread Zen 4 design with a 4.20 GHz base clock and a 4.70 GHz boost clock. This configuration, built on the 4 nm TSMC process, delivers a single-thread score of 951 in 3DMark, which is critical for a sports title where frame pacing and input response depend on consistent per-core performance. The processor's multi-threaded headroom is substantial, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20851, but its performance profile in relation to peers is tightly clustered. Benchmark aggregate scores place it at 25064, within 0.3% of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and statistically tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, which scores 25057. This suggests that in a game like Undisputed, the CPU's job is to maintain a stable baseline, allowing the GPU to be the primary driver of visual fidelity.

The chip's 16 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth provide sufficient data throughput for the game's physics and AI calculations. While the 8400F is not a top-tier part, its 82nd percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it is comfortably above the median, ensuring that at lower resolutions and settings, it will not become a bottleneck. The processor's 65-watt TDP and unlocked multiplier further suggest that thermal and power constraints are minimal, allowing the boost clock to be sustained under load. For Undisputed, the data indicates the CPU is a capable foundation, but its influence on the final frame rate diminishes as graphical settings and resolution increase, shifting the workload firmly onto the graphics card.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, based on the Turing architecture and the TU104 chip, is the decisive component in this pairing. With 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, it provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s, which is sufficient for the textures and effects at the resolutions tested. Its boost clock of 1770 MHz and 2560 shading units allow for a raw FP32 throughput of 9.062 TFLOPS, positioning it as a mid-range performer in the current landscape. The GPU's aggregate benchmark score of 22206 places it at the 65th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals show a tight grouping: it sits just 0.5% behind the RTX A400 and 2.5% ahead of the Radeon RX 5700. This indicates that the RTX 2070 SUPER is a known quantity, and its performance in Undisputed will align with its established compute capabilities.

The memory clock of 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) is a limiting factor in high-fidelity scenarios, but the card compensates with a high texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s. In the context of Undisputed, a boxing simulation with detailed character models and arena environments, the GPU's role is to handle the rendering pipeline. The measured frame rates show that the GPU scales predictably with settings, but its 8 GB VRAM capacity becomes a relevant constraint at 4K Ultra, where the average frame rate drops to 45.2 FPS. This is not a failure of the core compute units but rather a sign that the memory subsystem is saturated at the highest settings. The card's 215 W TDP and dual-slot design are standard for its class, and its end-of-life production status means it represents mature driver support. The data shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary determinant of frame rate, especially when the CPU is not under duress.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data illustrates a clear scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combination achieves 253 FPS, indicating a GPU-bound scenario where the RTX 2070 SUPER is working at full capacity. Moving to 1440p Low, the frame rate drops to 182.2 FPS, a reduction of 28%, while at 4K Low, it falls further to 117 FPS, another 36% decrease. This logarithmic decline is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload, where the CPU's 4.70 GHz boost clock is more than adequate to feed the graphics card even at the lowest settings. The gap between 1080p and 4K at Low settings is a 53.7% reduction, which aligns with the increased pixel count requiring more vertex and fragment processing.

The scaling becomes more pronounced at higher settings. At High settings, the progression from 1080p (148.5 FPS) to 1440p (107.6 FPS) is a 27.5% drop, and then to 4K (66.9 FPS) is another 37.8% drop. This indicates that the GPU is consistently the limiting component across all settings, as the CPU's performance headroom is not being taxed. The most telling data point is the Ultra preset, where the frame rate plummets to 98.8 FPS at 1080p, 72.2 FPS at 1440p, and 45.2 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is a 54.3% reduction, which is nearly identical to the Low preset scaling. This consistency suggests that the bottleneck is purely the GPU's rendering throughput and memory bandwidth, not any CPU-side physics or simulation limits. The benchmark results indicate that users seeking higher frame rates at 4K must lower settings, as the RTX 2070 SUPER cannot sustain 60 FPS at Ultra, but it does so comfortably at High.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested configurations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER holds a combo rank of 968 out of 1580 combinations. This places it in the bottom 40% of all tested combos, which is a direct consequence of the GPU's mid-range standing. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking is offset by the GPU's 65th percentile, and the combination's overall rank reflects the weaker of the two components. The data shows that this is a balanced pairing in the sense that neither component is drastically overpowered relative to the other, but the absolute performance level is modest.

The nearest rival comparisons highlight this position. The GPU's average score of 22206 is nearly identical to the RTX A400 (22307) and the GTX TITAN Z (22006), but those are not typical gaming partners for this CPU. The more relevant comparison is to the Radeon RX 5700, which the RTX 2070 SUPER leads by 2.5%. In the context of Undisputed, this rank means the combo will deliver playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p with adjusted settings, but it will not excel at 4K. The combo's rank is a reflection of the GPU's age, as the CPU is a modern part with ample headroom. If the GPU were replaced with a higher-tier card, the combo rank would improve significantly, as the CPU's 3DMark max-thread score of 6165 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20851 suggest it can support faster graphics hardware without issue. For this specific game, the rank indicates a solid mid-range experience, not a high-end one.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The data provides a complete picture of the combo's performance across 12 distinct configurations. At 1080p, the lowest settings yield an average of 253 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates the game is not visually demanding at this preset. Medium settings at 1080p produce 181.7 FPS, while High settings yield 148.5 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 98.8 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. This shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER is more than capable of handling the game at 1080p, even at the highest quality settings.

At 1440p, the scaling is consistent. Low settings average 182.2 FPS, Medium settings 132.6 FPS, High settings 107.6 FPS, and Ultra settings 72.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is a notable data point, as it stays above 60 FPS, making it a viable option for high-refresh-rate monitors. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 110 FPS, which is a significant range that gives users control over visual quality versus frame rate. At 4K, the performance becomes more constrained. Low settings average 117 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K and suggests the game's low preset is not very demanding. Medium settings at 4K drop to 85.7 FPS, and High settings to 66.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS, averaging 45.2 FPS.

This final data point is the critical one for users. The 4K Ultra result of 45.2 FPS indicates that the 8 GB VRAM and the GPU's compute capability are insufficient for the highest fidelity at this resolution. However, the 4K High result of 66.9 FPS is playable, and the 4K Medium result of 85.7 FPS is comfortable. The data shows a clear hierarchy: the RTX 2070 SUPER excels at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, but at 4K, users must compromise on quality to maintain a high frame rate. The average FPS numbers, without min or max values, suggest a stable performance profile, but the Ultra preset at 4K is the only scenario where the combo's limitations are fully exposed.
