Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Undisputed, positioning it as a top-tier setup for this sports title. The benchmark data shows the pairing ranking 651st out of 3,718 tested combos, placing it in the top 17.5% of all systems. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across resolutions and settings, examining the roles of the CPU and GPU in achieving these results.

Resolution Scaling

The performance delta from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic shift in system bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 248 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same preset drops performance to 179 FPS, a 27.8% reduction. Stepping up to 3840x2160 High yields 113 FPS, representing a further 36.9% decline from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern indicates that while the CPU can push very high frame rates at lower resolutions, the GPU becomes increasingly dominant as pixel count rises.

The Low settings preset shows the most dramatic resolution sensitivity. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 417 FPS average, a figure that likely approaches the engine's practical limits. Dropping to 1440p Low reduces this to 301 FPS (a 27.8% decrease), and 4K Low settles at 191 FPS (a 36.5% drop from 1440p). These percentage drops are nearly identical to the High preset scaling, suggesting the game's rendering workload scales predictably with resolution regardless of quality level.

The Medium preset, which includes minimum and maximum frame rate data, provides additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the average is 300 FPS with a minimum of 255 FPS and maximum of 345 FPS. The spread of 90 FPS between min and max indicates some frame time variance, but the minimum remains well above typical display refresh rates. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 217 FPS with a min of 184 FPS and max of 249 FPS, maintaining a similar 65 FPS spread. The 4K Medium result shows 137 FPS average with a 117 FPS minimum and 158 FPS maximum, demonstrating that even at the highest resolution, frame delivery stays consistent.

Ultra settings produce the steepest resolution penalty. The 1080p Ultra average of 160 FPS falls to 115 FPS at 1440p (28.1% reduction) and further to 73 FPS at 4K (36.5% reduction from 1440p). The scaling pattern across all four presets shows remarkably consistent percentage drops between 1440p and 4K, ranging from 36.5% to 36.9%. This uniformity suggests the GPU's pixel throughput capabilities are the primary limiter at 4K, regardless of the visual complexity added by higher preset levels.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F brings 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process. Its base clock of 4.20 GHz and boost clock of 4.70 GHz provide the foundation for the high frame rates observed. The processor's 16 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth contribute to its ability to feed the GPU at lower resolutions.

Synthetic benchmarks place this CPU in the 77th percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 25,005. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, scores 24,964, a mere 0.2% difference. The Intel Core i7-11850H sits 0.3% behind at 24,935, while the Intel Core i7-13620H trails by 0.4% with 24,911. The AMD EPYC 9474F leads the group at 25,103, but only by 0.4% over the 8400F. This clustering indicates the CPU performs competitively within its segment, though the margin between rivals is minimal.

The multi-threaded performance data shows the processor scaling well from 2 threads to 16 threads. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1,874 rises to 3,563 at 4 threads, 5,275 at 8 threads, and peaks at 6,165 at max threads. The single-thread score of 951 in 3DMark and 2,943 in Cinebench R23 single-core suggest adequate per-core performance for games that rely on fewer threads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20,851 indicates the 12 threads provide substantial aggregate throughput.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears most critical at 1080p where frame rates exceed 400 FPS on Low settings. At these extreme frame rates, the CPU must deliver draw calls and game logic updates rapidly enough to avoid becoming the bottleneck. The 4.70 GHz boost clock helps maintain responsiveness, while the 6-core/12-thread configuration handles the game's background simulation tasks. The Passmark multi-thread score of 24,389 and physics score of 1,332 reflect the CPU's capability in workloads similar to game physics calculations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER utilizes the AD104 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture on TSMC's 5 nm process. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient even at 4K resolution. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz drive its 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units.

The GPU's compute capabilities include 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 56 ray tracing cores, though the latter see limited use in this sports title. The 224 tensor cores provide additional processing capacity for any DLSS or AI-enhanced features, though the measured frame rates suggest the game runs natively without upscaling. The 220 W TDP and dual-slot design indicate the card maintains performance within a moderate power envelope.

Benchmark results place the RTX 4070 SUPER in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs with an average score of 43,223. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, scores 43,262, representing a 0.1% difference. The RTX 5050 Mobile matches at 43,268 (also 0.1%), while the Quadro M6000 scores 43,301 (0.2% ahead). The RTX 4090 Mobile leads at 43,667, but only by 1% over the 4070 SUPER. This tight clustering suggests the desktop card performs comparably to high-end mobile solutions and professional workstation GPUs.

The GPU's memory subsystem proves critical for 4K performance. The 12 GB capacity accommodates textures and geometry at Ultra settings, while the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth prevents starvation at the 73 FPS average observed at 4K Ultra. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s directly influence the resolution scaling pattern. At 4K, the GPU processes 8.3 million pixels per frame, and the measured frame rates indicate the fill rate handles this load without significant bottlenecking.
