Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination delivers a strong, high-refresh-rate experience in Undisputed, ranking in the 723rd position out of 1580 tested combos. This places the pairing in the upper half of all tested systems, but the benchmark data reveals that the graphics card is the primary performance driver, with the CPU providing adequate support. The measured frame rates show that this combo is capable of exceeding 60 FPS at 4K on high settings and pushing well past 100 FPS at 1440p, making it a versatile option for both competitive and visually demanding play.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 723 out of 1580 tested combinations indicates a solid mid-to-upper tier placement. It is not a top-tier enthusiast setup, but it comfortably outperforms the majority of tested systems. This ranking is a holistic measure, but the component-level data suggests the GPU is doing most of the heavy lifting. The RTX 3070 sits at the 72nd percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 3700X achieves an 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs. This discrepancy is notable: the processor is a stronger performer relative to its peers than the graphics card is relative to its own field. In practical terms for Undisputed, this means the system is not likely to be CPU-bound at most settings, allowing the GPU’s capabilities to shine through in the frame rate results.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is the centerpiece of this system’s gaming performance. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU’s boost clock of 1725 MHz, paired with 5888 shading units, allows it to handle the rendering demands of Undisputed efficiently. In the benchmark results, this manifests as a clear scaling pattern: at 1080p Low, the combo produces an average of 311.7 FPS, which is an exceptional figure. The GPU’s 72nd percentile ranking places it slightly above the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (which trails by 0.9%) and ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti (which is 1% slower). The data shows that the RTX 3070’s memory configuration is sufficient for the game, as even at 4K Ultra the system maintains a playable 53 FPS average, though this is the only setting where the frame rate dips below 60 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X provides the computational foundation for this combo. With 8 cores and 16 threads, it offers ample multi-threading capability, which is reflected in its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19087. Its boost clock of 4.40 GHz helps maintain responsiveness, though the game’s results suggest that raw single-core performance is not the limiting factor. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 28631 places it in a tight cluster with its nearest rivals: it is virtually identical to the Intel Core i5-12600 (0.1% slower) and the Intel Core i5-12600H (0.1% slower), while being slightly ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT (0.1% faster). This performance parity means that the 3700X is more than capable of feeding the RTX 3070 the necessary data, as evidenced by the high frame rates achieved even at lower resolutions where CPU overhead is typically more significant.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo’s performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1080p, the system is exceptionally fast: Low settings yield an average of 311.7 FPS, Medium produces 220 FPS, High delivers 184.6 FPS, and Ultra still manages 116.2 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the frame rates remain high but show the GPU working harder: Low drops to 222.7 FPS, Medium falls to 162.5 FPS, High sustains 134.8 FPS, and Ultra stays above 60 FPS at 88.4 FPS. At 4K, the scaling is more pronounced: Low produces 140.4 FPS, Medium drops to 101.8 FPS, High falls to 85.6 FPS, and Ultra is the only configuration that dips below 60 FPS, hitting 53 FPS. These numbers show a consistent pattern where the gap between Low and Ultra widens as resolution increases, indicating the GPU’s rendering load is the primary variable.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for competitive play with this combo?

A: The data shows that 1080p Low produces the highest average frame rate at 311.7 FPS, which is ideal for maximum responsiveness. However, 1440p Low still delivers 222.7 FPS, offering a balance between visual clarity and high frame rates.

*Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Undisputed?*

A: Yes, but with a caveat. At 4K High, the average FPS is 85.6, which is smooth. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 53 FPS, which may feel less fluid. The data suggests that 4K is viable if settings are kept at High or below.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its direct rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 3700X has an average benchmark score of 28631. It is essentially tied with the Intel Core i5-12600, which scores 28654 (0.1% higher). It also performs nearly identically to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, which scores 28591 (0.1% lower).

Q: Is the GPU or CPU more important for this game’s performance?

A: The data indicates the GPU is the primary driver. The RTX 3070’s percentile rank is 72, while the CPU’s is 85. The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a significant drop, which is characteristic of GPU-bound scenarios.

Q: What is the highest settings preset that maintains over 100 FPS at 1440p?

A: According to the measured results, High settings at 1440p produce an average of 134.8 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 88.4 FPS, so High is the highest preset that comfortably exceeds the 100 FPS threshold.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K on High settings?

A: At 1080p High, the average frame rate is 184.6 FPS. At 4K High, it falls to 85.6 FPS. This represents a substantial reduction, showing the increased load on the GPU at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the measured data points to a specific sweet spot. At 1440p, the High preset provides an average of 134.8 FPS, which is excellent for a smooth and visually rich experience. Pushing to Ultra at this resolution yields 88.4 FPS, which is still playable but sacrifices some fluidity for marginal visual gains. For those prioritizing maximum frame rates, 1080p with the Medium preset delivers 220 FPS, which is far beyond what most displays can utilize. The most balanced recommendation based on the data is 1440p High, as it offers a high frame rate that takes advantage of the GPU’s capabilities without the performance penalty of Ultra. At 4K, the High preset at 85.6 FPS is the best option for maintaining a smooth experience, as Ultra drops to 53 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data shows a clear and expected scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K, which provides insight into the system’s bottleneck. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 311.7 FPS at 1080p to 140.4 FPS at 4K, a reduction of approximately 55%. At High settings, the drop is from 184.6 FPS to 85.6 FPS, a similar proportional decline. This consistent percentage reduction across all settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component; if the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rates would show less variation at lower resolutions. The fact that the system can reach 311.7 FPS at 1080p Low demonstrates that the Ryzen 7 3700X is not holding back the RTX 3070. The scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where increasing resolution directly increases the render load, causing frame rates to fall in a predictable manner. The 4K Ultra result of 53 FPS is the only point where the system falls below the 60 FPS threshold, reinforcing that the GPU’s capabilities are the ceiling for this pairing.
