Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER pairing delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Undisputed, with the data showing a clear hierarchy between visual presets that favors high refresh rate play over absolute fidelity. The measured frames per second across all resolutions indicate that this combination is well-balanced for a sports title, though the performance ceiling varies significantly depending on the chosen settings.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data provides a clear picture of how this combo behaves across four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—at three resolutions. For 1080p gaming, the Low preset achieves an average of 229 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suggests headroom for competitive play. However, the Medium preset at 1080p delivers 165 FPS average with a minimum of 140 FPS and maximum of 190 FPS, making it the sweet spot for most users. This preset offers a substantial frame rate cushion above the 144Hz threshold while improving visual quality over Low.

At 1440p, the High preset produces 99 FPS average, which is playable but not ideal for high refresh rate monitors. The Medium preset at 1440p yields 119 FPS average with a minimum of 101 FPS and maximum of 137 FPS, providing a better balance for this resolution. The data suggests that Medium is the recommended preset for 1440p, as it maintains a comfortable margin above 100 FPS while delivering better image quality than Low.

For 4K gaming, the High preset achieves 62 FPS average, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 4K averages 75 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS and maximum of 87 FPS, making it the best option for this resolution. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 40 FPS average, which is below the threshold for a satisfying experience. Therefore, the Medium preset is the recommended choice across all three resolutions, as it consistently provides the best balance between visual fidelity and performance. The data shows that Ultra settings are only viable at 1080p, where the combo achieves 88 FPS average, but even then, Medium offers nearly double the frame rate.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 3000 series, built on the Zen 2 architecture with the Matisse codename. It operates at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosts up to 4.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. This processor sits in the 84th percentile versus all CPUs, indicating strong overall performance for its generation. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, has an average score of 34222 with a delta of 0.1%, placing them effectively on par. Similarly, the AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220 with a 0.1% delta, while the Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333 with a -0.2% delta, all within a narrow performance band.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, given the game's nature as a sports title. The processor's multi-threaded capability, evidenced by a Geekbench multicore score of 8899 and a Passmark multithread score of 22458, ensures that it can handle the game's logic and physics without bottlenecking. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample parallelism for background tasks and streaming, which is typical for modern gaming workloads. The L3 cache of 32 MB helps with data locality, reducing latency for frequently accessed game assets.

The benchmark results indicate that the CPU does not become a limiting factor in this combo, as the frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings changes. At 1080p Low, the 229 FPS average suggests that the CPU can feed frames well beyond what the GPU can render, but the 3700X's single-thread performance, with a Cinebench R15 singlecore score of 204 and a Passmark singlethread score of 2656, is sufficient for this title. The processor's 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs reinforces that it is a capable mid-range part, and its nearest rivals all score within 0.5% of it, indicating a tightly contested market segment.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is a Turing-architecture GPU based on the TU106 chip, manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU has a base clock of 1470 MHz and a boost clock of 1650 MHz, with memory running at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). It contains 2176 shading units, 136 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, along with 34 RT cores and 272 tensor cores. The GPU's FP32 performance is 7.181 TFLOPS, and it holds a 62nd percentile ranking versus all GPUs.

The RTX 2060 SUPER's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile with an average score of 18159 and a delta of -0.4%, placing them nearly identical. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189 with a -0.5% delta, while the AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373 with a -1.5% delta. These figures show that the RTX 2060 SUPER is competitive with newer mobile parts and some desktop alternatives, though it lags slightly behind the Intel Arc A770M, which scores 18383 with a -1.6% delta.

In Undisputed, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for the game's demands, as evidenced by the stable frame rates across settings. The GPU's role is more pronounced at higher resolutions, where the rendering load increases. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 40, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at this extreme setting. The GPU's 62nd percentile ranking suggests it is a mid-tier part, and the data shows that it can handle 1440p Medium comfortably at 119 FPS, but struggles with 4K Ultra. The 8 GB memory capacity is adequate for current titles, and the dual-slot design with a 175 W TDP makes it a reasonable fit for most systems.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 3700X and RTX 2060 SUPER ranks 2632 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 29th percentile of all combinations. This ranking reflects the hardware's position in the broader ecosystem, where newer and more expensive parts dominate the top tiers. However, this ranking does not tell the full story, as the combo's performance in actual gameplay is more nuanced.

The data shows that this pairing is capable of delivering high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, with the Medium preset providing the best experience. The 2632nd rank out of 3718 combos indicates that there are many faster configurations, but this does not diminish the combo's viability for this specific game. The rank is likely influenced by the CPU's age relative to newer processors, as the 3700X's nearest rivals include the Ryzen AI 7 350 and the EPYC 4244P, both of which are newer parts. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rivals include the RTX 3060 Mobile and the Arc A770M, which are more recent products.

Despite the mid-pack ranking, the combo's measured FPS numbers show that it can provide a smooth experience at 1080p and 1440p with the right settings. The 62 FPS average at 4K High is respectable, and the 40 FPS at 4K Ultra is the only scenario where the combo falls below playable thresholds. This suggests that the combo is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, which is where most users will likely play this sports title.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 165 FPS average, which drops to 119 FPS at 1440p Medium, a reduction of 46 FPS. Moving to 4K Medium, the average FPS falls to 75, a further drop of 44 FPS from 1440p. This consistent decline indicates that the GPU is the limiting component as resolution increases, since the CPU's workload remains relatively constant while the GPU's rendering load grows exponentially.

The Low preset shows a similar trend, with 229 FPS at 1080p, 166 FPS at 1440p, and 105 FPS at 4K. The High preset follows the same pattern: 136 FPS at 1080p, 99 FPS at 1440p, and 62 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with 88 FPS at 1080p, 63 FPS at 1440p, and 40 FPS at 4K. These numbers demonstrate that the RTX 2060 SUPER's performance scales predictably with resolution, and the CPU does not appear to introduce a bottleneck at any setting.

The data also shows that the GPU's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s becomes more critical at 4K, where the 8 GB VRAM is fully utilized. The drop from 75 FPS at 4K Medium to 40 FPS at 4K Ultra suggests that the GPU's compute and memory resources are stretched at the highest settings. The scaling pattern indicates that for this combo, the best experience is achieved at 1440p with Medium settings, where the 119 FPS average provides a responsive gameplay experience without sacrificing too much visual quality.
