Undisputed

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 lands at rank 435 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. That places it comfortably inside the top 27.5% of all configurations measured for this title. The ranking suggests this is a well-balanced pairing for a sports sim, where the workload tends to be more moderate than in heavy open-world titles.

Looking at the individual components, the RTX 4070 sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 3700X rests at the 85th percentile among all CPUs. The GPU's nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, which scores only 0.6% higher on average, while the CPU's closest competitor, the Intel Core i5-12600, trails by a negligible 0.1%. These tight margins indicate that neither component is dramatically outclassed by its direct alternatives, making the combo's rank more a function of how the two interact in this specific game.

The data shows that the combo outperforms roughly 72% of all tested configurations in Undisputed. That is a strong result for a pairing built around a 2023 GPU and a 2019 CPU, suggesting the game is not heavily dependent on the absolute latest processor technology. The rank also implies that users with this setup can expect a consistently playable experience across most settings, though the Ultra preset at 4K will test the limits of what this combination can deliver.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The card's base clock runs at 1920 MHz with a boost of 2475 MHz, and it houses 5888 shading units alongside 46 ray-tracing cores. These specifications place the GPU firmly in the upper-midrange tier of the GeForce 40-series lineup.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes increasingly critical as resolution climbs. At 1080p, the card can push frame rates well beyond what most displays can show, with the Low preset hitting 372.7 FPS. However, the more demanding Ultra preset at 4K drops to 64.4 FPS, which indicates that the card's raw compute — rated at 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 — is being stretched by the combination of high resolution and maxed-out settings.

The memory subsystem deserves attention here. With 12 GB of VRAM, the card has ample capacity for Undisputed's textures at any resolution, and the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth prevents any noticeable bottleneck in data transfer. The measured results show a clear pattern: the GPU scales predictably with settings changes, and the 64.4 FPS floor at 4K Ultra is the only scenario where the card's limitations become apparent. At every other tested setting, the GPU delivers frame rates that comfortably exceed the 60 FPS threshold.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 3700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture, built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It runs at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosts to 4.40 GHz, with 32 MB of L3 cache and a 65 W TDP. The processor supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth.

For Undisputed, a sports simulation, the CPU's role is primarily about maintaining a stable frame delivery rather than pushing raw frame rates. The 8-core configuration with 16 threads is more than sufficient for the game's AI and physics calculations, which typically scale across a handful of cores rather than saturating a full 16-thread setup. The single-thread performance, as measured by a Cinebench R23 score of 2694, is adequate for the game's main logic thread.

The CPU's benchmark scores show a well-rounded profile: 19087 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 22458 in Passmark multithread. These numbers indicate the processor can handle the background tasks and system overhead while the GPU focuses on rendering. In lower resolution scenarios, the CPU becomes more relevant, as the GPU has headroom to render more frames per second. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 372.7 FPS, which is likely close to the CPU's practical limit for frame generation in this title. The data suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck at any tested setting, but its influence becomes more noticeable as the GPU's workload decreases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured results span three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a comprehensive picture of the combo's capabilities. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 144 at Ultra to 372.7 at Low, with High at 221.5 and Medium at 266.5. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the combo is never constrained by the GPU — even the most demanding preset clears 144 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop but remain high: Ultra delivers 104.9 FPS, High hits 163.3, Medium reaches 194.3, and Low tops out at 274.1. The 1440p results show a healthy balance between visual fidelity and performance, with every preset maintaining frame rates above 100 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes more dramatically. Ultra drops to 64.4 FPS, High delivers 102.1, Medium reaches 123.2, and Low hits 169.6. The 4K Ultra result is the only data point below 100 FPS across the entire matrix, and it is the sole scenario where the combo fails to maintain triple-digit frame rates. This pattern suggests that Undisputed's Ultra preset at 4K places a significant load on the GPU's shading units and memory bandwidth.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the workload shifts between CPU and GPU. At Ultra settings, the drop from 144 FPS at 1080p to 64.4 FPS at 4K represents a 55.3% reduction — a steep decline that points to the GPU being the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. In contrast, the Low preset shows a milder drop from 372.7 FPS at 1080p to 169.6 FPS at 4K, a 54.5% reduction that still highlights GPU scaling but with more absolute headroom.

The Medium preset follows a similar pattern: 266.5 FPS at 1080p falls to 123.2 FPS at 4K, a 53.8% drop. High settings show a 53.9% reduction, going from 221.5 to 102.1 FPS. The consistency of these percentage drops across all presets suggests that resolution scaling in Undisputed is predictable and primarily GPU-bound. The CPU's role remains constant — it delivers frames as fast as the GPU can render them, and the GPU's workload scales linearly with pixel count.

This scaling behavior indicates that at 1080p, the combo is heavily CPU-limited, particularly at Low settings where the GPU has so much headroom that frame rates exceed 370 FPS. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, with the CPU having minimal impact on the final frame rate. The sweet spot for this pairing appears to be 1440p, where the balance between CPU and GPU workloads allows for high frame rates without the CPU holding back the GPU in less demanding scenarios.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset delivers 144 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate monitor. The High preset at 221.5 FPS offers a substantial increase for competitive play, but the visual difference between High and Ultra in a sports sim may not justify the frame rate trade-off for most users. The Medium preset at 266.5 FPS is the best choice for esports-style responsiveness, though the jump from High to Medium is noticeable in terms of visual quality.

At 1440p, the Ultra preset maintains 104.9 FPS, which is ideal for a 100 Hz or 120 Hz display. This is the recommended setting for users who prioritize visual fidelity while keeping frame rates above the 100 FPS mark. The High preset at 163.3 FPS offers a significant frame rate advantage for those with 165 Hz or 180 Hz monitors, and the visual difference from Ultra is modest. Medium at 194.3 FPS is the best option for users with 200 Hz or higher refresh rate displays.

For 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 64.4 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for fast-paced action. The High preset at 102.1 FPS is the clear recommendation for 4K users, as it maintains triple-digit frame rates while delivering most of the visual benefits of Ultra. Medium at 123.2 FPS is the choice for those who prefer higher frame rates over maximum detail, and Low at 169.6 FPS is only recommended for users with very high refresh rate 4K displays, which are still rare.

The data suggests that the High preset at 4K offers the best overall balance for this combo, providing smooth gameplay without sacrificing the visual quality that makes Undisputed's boxing animations look realistic.
