Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a performance profile in Undisputed that is heavily dictated by graphics settings, with the CPU proving more than capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions. The data shows a clear trend: at 1080p and 1440p, the combination produces exceptionally high frame rates, but enabling Ultra settings at 4K drops performance below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating a GPU-bound scenario at the highest visual fidelity.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression across resolutions reveals how the workload shifts between components. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 270 FPS, which drops to 199.9 FPS at 2560x1440 and 125.2 FPS at 3840x2160. This translates to a 74.1% reduction in FPS from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, a scaling pattern that underscores the GPU's dominance in determining output. The RTX 4060’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus width become the limiting factor as pixel count rises, with bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s struggling to sustain higher resolutions.

At High settings, the scaling is more moderate: 160.2 FPS at 1080p, 117.3 FPS at 1440p, and 73.3 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 26.8%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 37.5%. This non-linear behavior suggests the CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, maintains sufficient headroom at 1080p, but the GPU’s rendering load grows disproportionately at 4K. The Ultra preset tells a starker story: 102.4 FPS at 1080p, 76.9 FPS at 1440p, and just 45.7 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is 55.4% lower than 1080p Ultra, confirming that the RTX 4060 is the primary bottleneck when maximum detail is enabled.

The data indicates that for 4K gaming, only Low and Medium settings (125.2 FPS and 89.2 FPS respectively) deliver playable frame rates, while High and Ultra fall short of the 60 FPS mark. At 1440p, all settings except Ultra (76.9 FPS) exceed 100 FPS, making that resolution the sweet spot for this combination. The scaling pattern strongly suggests that the RTX 4060, with its 15.11 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 48 ROPs, is the limiting component at higher resolutions, while the Ryzen 7 3700X’s Zen 2 architecture provides ample compute for lower resolution workloads.

The 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a critical limitation at higher resolutions.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is clearly demonstrated by the frame rate scaling. At 1080p Low, the GPU delivers 270 FPS, but this drops to 45.7 FPS at 4K Ultra. The 8 GB VRAM capacity becomes a constraint at 4K with Ultra settings, as the game's textures and effects exceed the available memory, causing the performance to plummet by 83.1% compared to 1080p Low. The GPU ranks in the 66th percentile of all graphics cards, with a Passmark G3D score of 19545 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2302. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, scores 0.6% higher, while the Intel Arc B580 scores 0.7% lower.

The RTX 4060's 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores provide ray tracing and DLSS capabilities, but these are not reflected in the measured FPS data, which uses standard rendering. The GPU's 115 W TDP and 300 W suggested PSU requirement indicate a power-efficient design, but the 128-bit memory bus limits its ability to handle high-resolution textures. The benchmark results show that the GPU is best utilized at 1440p, where it maintains over 76 FPS across all settings, making it a capable mid-range option for this sports title.
