Undisputed

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a combo rank of 281 out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed. That places this pairing in the top 17.8% of all tested combos, which is a strong result for a sports title that rewards high frame rates. The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's strong single-thread performance and the GPU's substantial rasterization headroom—both components sit in the 84th-85th percentile among their respective peers, so the combo performs as expected given the individual hardware strengths.

Benchmark results indicate that this combo is not bottleneck-limited in any meaningful way at most settings. The CPU's average benchmark score of 28246 places it nearly level with the Intel Core i5-13490F (delta 0.3%), while the GPU's average score of 42576 sits just -0.2% behind the NVIDIA RTX A6000. This near-parity with much more expensive professional hardware in synthetic tests translates to excellent real-world gaming performance, as the measured FPS data confirms.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In Undisputed, this memory configuration proves sufficient even at 4K Ultra, where the combo still manages 70.8 FPS average. The GPU's 7168 shading units and 80 ROPs are the primary drivers of high-resolution performance, with a boost clock of 2475 MHz ensuring that frame rates scale aggressively when settings are lowered.

The GPU sits in the 84th percentile of all GPUs tested, with its nearest rival being the NVIDIA RTX A6000 at a -0.2% delta. This close grouping suggests that the 4070 SUPER delivers compute performance comparable to workstation-class hardware, though gaming-specific features like the 56 RT cores and 224 Tensor cores contribute to its efficiency in modern titles. The 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is more than adequate for Undisputed's physics-heavy boxing simulation, where the data shows the GPU handling 4K High at 115.2 FPS without breaking a sweat.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern: this combo is GPU-bound at higher resolutions but increasingly CPU-limited at 1080p. At Low settings, frame rates drop from 414.6 FPS at 1080p to 188.9 FPS at 4K—a 54% reduction that indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K. Conversely, at Ultra settings, the drop is from 161.2 FPS at 1080p to 70.8 FPS at 4K—a 56% reduction, showing similar scaling behavior.

The most telling comparison comes at 1440p, where the combo delivers 305.1 FPS at Low and 116.7 FPS at Ultra. These numbers suggest that even at 1440p Ultra, the GPU still has headroom, as the CPU's high boost clock of 5.40 GHz and strong single-thread score of 3603 in Cinebench R23 keep the frame pipeline fed. At 1080p Low, the 414.6 FPS result approaches what many high-refresh monitors can display, indicating that the CPU can push well beyond typical gaming requirements in this title.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo better suited for high refresh rate or high resolution gaming in Undisputed?

A: The data shows strong performance at both. At 1440p High, the combo delivers 180.3 FPS, while at 4K High it maintains 115.2 FPS. This suggests it can drive both 144Hz 1440p and 60Hz 4K displays comfortably.

Q: How does the CPU's single-thread performance affect gaming?

A: The CPU scores 3603 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 1253 in 3DMark single-thread, with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. These figures support very high frame rates at 1080p Low, where the combo reaches 414.6 FPS.

Q: What memory bandwidth does the GPU have and is it sufficient?

A: The GPU provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth via 12 GB GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus. The performance data indicates this is sufficient, as 4K High still achieves 115.2 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 414.6 FPS average, Medium drops to 298.1 FPS, High settles at 249.2 FPS, and Ultra still manages 161.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 61% performance cost, which is typical for a sports title with moderate graphical demands.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. Low settings yield 305.1 FPS, Medium produces 217.5 FPS, High achieves 180.3 FPS, and Ultra maintains 116.7 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each setting is roughly 26-28%, indicating consistent scaling behavior without any sudden bottlenecks.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload becomes more significant. Low settings still deliver 188.9 FPS, Medium drops to 139.1 FPS, High maintains 115.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 70.8 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration below 100 FPS, but it remains entirely playable. The delta between 1440p and 4K at each setting is approximately 36-39%, showing that the 12 GB VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for this title's demands.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 9600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge), built on TSMC's 4 nm process. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz provide the single-thread muscle that Undisputed benefits from. The 32 MB shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 per core contribute to low-latency access, while DDR5 memory support with 89.6 GB/s bandwidth ensures the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU scores 25525 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3603 in single-core. The 3DMark results show strong scaling: 2456 in 2-thread, 4649 in 4-thread, 6726 in 8-thread, and 7590 in max-thread tests. This scaling pattern indicates that the CPU's performance doesn't plateau until all 12 threads are utilized, which is beneficial for games that use multiple cores for physics and AI.

The CPU's 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it slightly ahead of its average benchmark score of 28246 would suggest. Its nearest rivals—the Intel Core i5-13490F and AMD Ryzen 5 230—both score within 0.3%, making this a tightly contested segment. The 65W TDP and unlocked multiplier make it a flexible choice for various system configurations.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting 144Hz refresh rates, the data shows that High settings at 1440p (180.3 FPS) or 1080p (249.2 FPS) provide the best balance of visual quality and frame rate headroom. Medium settings at 1440p (217.5 FPS) offer an even larger buffer for demanding scenes, while the visual difference between Medium and High in a sports title like Undisputed is often minimal.

For 4K displays, High settings (115.2 FPS) are the clear sweet spot, delivering well above 60 FPS while maintaining visual fidelity. Ultra at 4K (70.8 FPS) is playable but leaves little margin for frame drops during intense boxing sequences. The data suggests that High is the optimal preset for 4K, as it represents a 63% performance improvement over Ultra while sacrificing only the most demanding graphical effects.

For competitive play or maximum frame rates, Low settings at 1080p (414.6 FPS) or 1440p (305.1 FPS) push well beyond what most monitors can display, making these configurations useful primarily for players with very high refresh rate displays. The measured data indicates that this combo handles every tested configuration with at least 70 FPS average, meaning players can prioritize visual quality without worrying about playability.
