CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 8000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture (codename Phoenix) using a 4 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, which provides the instruction throughput needed to feed a high-end GPU like the RTX 4070. The CPU’s 16 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core help reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for the physics and AI calculations present in a sports simulation like Undisputed.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8400F shows a balanced profile. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851 points indicates strong multi-threaded capability for a 6-core part, while the single-core score of 2943 points demonstrates good per-thread performance. The 3DMark results further illustrate this: the score scales from 951 in the single-thread test to 6165 in the max-threads test, showing that the processor efficiently utilizes its additional cores. This scaling is relevant to Undisputed, as the game’s engine must handle both the rendering pipeline and the game logic, which can leverage multiple threads.

The processor’s performance relative to its peers is tight. Its average benchmark score of 25005 places it just 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and 0.3% ahead of the Intel Core i7-11850H, while being 0.4% behind the AMD EPYC 9474F. This clustering indicates that for gaming workloads, the Ryzen 5 8400F performs essentially on par with these rivals, meaning any frame rate differences in Undisputed are more likely attributable to the GPU than the CPU. The CPU’s 77th percentile ranking among all CPUs further confirms that it is a capable mid-to-high-tier part, but not the absolute fastest, which is consistent with its role as a supporting component in this combo.

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 1080p with High settings, the combo averages 223 FPS. Moving to 1440p High reduces the average to 161 FPS, a drop of 62 FPS or approximately 28%. At 4K High, the average falls further to 102 FPS, a 119 FPS drop from 1080p, or about 53%. This significant reduction at higher resolutions indicates that the RTX 4070 is the limiting component, as the workload on the GPU increases with pixel count while the CPU’s workload remains relatively constant.

The pattern holds across other settings. For Low settings, the average FPS goes from 374 at 1080p, to 271 at 1440p, and 171 at 4K. The percentage drops are similar, with a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 54% drop from 1080p to 4K. This consistent scaling suggests that the CPU is not becoming a bottleneck at lower resolutions; if it were, the FPS would plateau or drop more sharply at 1080p where the GPU has less work. Instead, the smooth decline in FPS with resolution is a hallmark of a GPU-limited system, where the RTX 4070’s rendering throughput is the primary constraint.

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

Based on the measured FPS data, the Medium preset appears to offer the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, the Medium preset averages 269 FPS with a minimum of 229 FPS, providing a very high frame rate that exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors. At 1440p, the Medium preset averages 195 FPS with a minimum of 165 FPS, which is excellent for smooth gameplay on high refresh rate displays. At 4K, the Medium preset averages 123 FPS with a minimum of 105 FPS, which is perfectly playable and offers a significant improvement over the Ultra preset’s 66 FPS average.

The High preset is also a strong choice, particularly at 1440p where it averages 161 FPS. However, at 4K, the High preset averages 102 FPS, which is slightly lower than the Medium preset’s 123 FPS, making Medium the better option for 4K. The Low preset offers the highest frame rates, but the visual quality trade-off is unnecessary given that the Medium preset already delivers very high performance.

Therefore, the Medium preset is recommended for the best combination of visual fidelity and performance.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications directly influence the measured frame rates. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. For Undisputed, a sports game with detailed character models and arenas, the 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient to handle the texture data at all tested resolutions, including 4K, without encountering memory-related stutters. The memory clock is 1313 MHz, with an effective data rate of 21 Gbps, which contributes to the high bandwidth.

The GPU’s core clock speeds are a base of 1920 MHz and a boost of 2475 MHz, which are the frequencies that determine its raw rendering throughput. The RTX 4070 has 5888 shading units and 64 ROPs, which directly impact pixel fill rate and shader performance. Its pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s are key metrics for how quickly it can process the visual data in the game. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 37648 places it in the 81st percentile, confirming its strong performance. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla P4, has a score of 37628, showing a negligible 0.1% difference, while the RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% faster with a score of 38135.

The RTX 4070’s performance in Undisputed is consistent with its benchmark standing. The 4K High preset’s 102 FPS average and the 1440p Ultra preset’s 104 FPS average show that the GPU is capable of handling high resolutions, but the significant drop to 66 FPS at 4K Ultra indicates that the most demanding settings push the GPU to its limits. The GPU’s Ada Lovelace architecture and 5 nm process node allow it to maintain high clock speeds while managing power, but the 200 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU requirement are factors for system builders. The data shows that the RTX 4070 is the primary driver of the frame rates, and its capabilities define the performance envelope of this combo.
