Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, a sports title that clearly favors high refresh rate displays. The measured data shows this combination is far from a bottleneck at any resolution, with frame rates that remain playable even at the most demanding settings. This analysis examines the measured FPS across resolutions and presets, interprets what the scaling suggests about the system's balance, and contextualizes the results against the broader benchmark database.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, but surprisingly capable of pushing extreme frame rates at 1080p. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 419.3 FPS at 1920x1080 to 299.4 FPS at 2560x1440, representing a 28.6% reduction. Moving further to 3840x2160, the Low preset yields 188.5 FPS, which is a 37.0% drop from the 1440p figure. This steep decline as resolution increases is classic behavior for a GPU-limited scenario, where the RTX 4070 SUPER's rendering workload scales directly with pixel count.

The pattern holds across all settings presets. At High settings, the transition from 1080p (247.1 FPS) to 1440p (178.5 FPS) is a 27.8% decrease, and then to 4K (113.9 FPS) is another 36.2% drop. The Medium preset shows similar scaling: 302.0 FPS at 1080p, 219.3 at 1440p (27.4% lower), and 138.0 at 4K (37.1% lower than 1440p). The Ultra preset, being the most demanding, sees the most dramatic absolute fall: from 158.8 FPS at 1080p to 114.7 at 1440p (27.8% down), and finally to 73.8 at 4K, which is 35.7% below the 1440p result.

These consistent percentage drops—roughly 28% from 1080p to 1440p and 36-37% from 1440p to 4K—strongly indicate that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this game. The Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, are more than sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would plateau or show much smaller reductions when lowering resolution. Instead, the data shows that each resolution step incurs a proportional penalty, which is the signature of a pure GPU workload. The 4K Ultra result of 73.8 FPS is still above the 60 FPS threshold, but the scaling suggests that players seeking maximum visual fidelity at 4K will need to accept frame rates that are roughly half of what they see at 1080p on the same preset.

Settings Recommendations

The measured presets offer a clear hierarchy, but the best choice depends on the target display refresh rate. For 1080p displays, the High preset delivers 247.1 FPS, which is more than enough for any 144Hz or 240Hz monitor. The Ultra preset at 158.8 FPS is still excellent for high-refresh gaming, but the 35.7% performance cost over High yields diminishing returns in a fast-paced sports title where reaction time matters more than subtle shadow quality. The Medium preset at 302.0 FPS is overkill for most displays and sacrifices visual fidelity unnecessarily.

At 1440p, the High preset produces 178.5 FPS, which comfortably exceeds 144Hz refresh rates. The Ultra preset at 114.7 FPS is also viable for 120Hz displays, offering a 35.7% performance penalty over High for the maximum visual settings. The Medium preset at 219.3 FPS is only recommended for 240Hz panels, as the visual difference between Medium and High is less impactful than the frame rate gain. For 4K, the situation is more nuanced. The High preset at 113.9 FPS is the sweet spot for 120Hz displays, while the Ultra preset at 73.8 FPS is playable on 60Hz panels but leaves performance on the table. The Low preset at 4K (188.5 FPS) is not recommended, as the visual quality drop is too severe for the marginal frame rate gain over High.

The data suggests that the High preset offers the best balance between visual fidelity and performance across all three resolutions. It stays above 113 FPS even at 4K, which is a strong result for a modern title. The Ultra preset is only worth considering for users with 1440p 120Hz displays who prioritize image quality over frame rate headroom. The measured FPS deltas between High and Ultra are substantial—35.7% at 1080p, 35.7% at 1440p, and 35.2% at 4K—which is a significant trade-off for what is typically a minor visual improvement in sports games.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, base clock of 3.70 GHz, and boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark scores reflect a capable mid-range CPU: the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655 and single-core score of 2916 place it in the 84th percentile against all CPUs. The PassMark multithread score of 24303 and single-thread score of 3296 corroborate this positioning. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-9900K with an average score of 27043 (0.7% delta), the Intel Core i7-12700H at 27006 (0.8%), the Intel Core i7-1370P at 26991 (0.8%), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 340 at 26909 (1.2%).

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is clearly secondary. The measured FPS at 1080p Low reaches 419.3, which is an extreme frame rate that would stress even the fastest processors. That the Ryzen 7 5700 can sustain this suggests the game's simulation logic is not heavily multithreaded, or that the 8-core/16-thread configuration is ample for the workload. The 3DMark scores show a scaling pattern: 1762 for 2 threads, 3382 for 4 threads, 5585 for 8 threads, and 6617 for max threads. This indicates that the CPU gains significant performance up to 8 threads, with diminishing returns beyond that. For a sports game like Undisputed, which likely uses a handful of threads for physics and AI, the 8-core design is well-suited.

The fact that FPS scales so predictably with resolution—and not with CPU load—confirms that the Ryzen 7 5700 is not the bottleneck. If the CPU were struggling, we would see lower FPS at 1080p Low (419.3) relative to what the GPU could theoretically deliver, and the 1440p to 4K drop would be less steep. Instead, the data shows a GPU-bound workload where the CPU has headroom to spare. The 65W TDP and DDR4 memory support are secondary considerations; the performance data is what matters, and it shows a CPU that comfortably drives the RTX 4070 SUPER in this title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines. It has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The base clock is 1980 MHz with a boost clock of 2475 MHz. Its benchmark results are strong: PassMark G3D score of 29995 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4627. The GPU sits in the 84th percentile against all GPUs, with nearest rivals including the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (avg score 42653, -0.2% delta), AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (42723, -0.3%), AMD Radeon Pro 580X (41991, 1.4%), and NVIDIA Tesla M40 (41897, 1.6%).

In Undisputed, the RTX 4070 SUPER demonstrates its strength. The 4K High result of 113.9 FPS is particularly impressive, indicating that the game is well-optimized for modern GPUs. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for this title; the measured data does not indicate any memory capacity issues, as FPS does not collapse at higher resolutions or settings, which would happen if the GPU ran out of VRAM. The GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are clearly adequate for the game's textures and effects.

The GPU's performance scaling across settings is consistent. At 1080p, the jump from Low (419.3) to Medium (302.0) is a 28.0% reduction, from Medium to High (247.1) is an 18.2% reduction, and from High to Ultra (158.8) is a 35.7% reduction. This pattern shows that Ultra is the most demanding preset, likely incorporating higher resolution shadows, more complex lighting, and additional post-processing effects. The RTX 4070 SUPER handles these tasks with ease, maintaining playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra. The GPU's 220W TDP and dual-slot design are not reflected in the performance data, but the measured FPS suggests that the card is not thermally throttling, as the scaling remains predictable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are: Low at 419.3, Medium at 302.0, High at 247.1, and Ultra at 158.8. The spread from Low to Ultra is 260.5 FPS, with Ultra delivering 62.1% less performance than Low. This is a wide range, but even the lowest 1080p result (Ultra) is sufficient for high-refresh gaming.

At 2560x1440, the values are: Low at 299.4, Medium at 219.3, High at 178.5, and Ultra at 114.7. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at each preset is roughly 28-29%, which is consistent with the pixel count increase from 2.07 million to 3.69 million pixels (a 78% increase in pixels, but the FPS drop is less than that, indicating some efficiency gains). The Ultra preset at 1440p falls below the 120 FPS mark, suggesting that 120Hz 1440p users should stick to High.

At 3840x2160, the values are: Low at 188.5, Medium at 138.0, High at 113.9, and Ultra at 73.8. The 4K resolution has 8.29 million pixels, which is 2.25 times the 1440p pixel count. The FPS drops from 1440p to 4K are around 36-37%, which is less than the pixel count increase, indicating that the GPU is not fully pixel-bound at 4K and that other factors (like memory bandwidth) come into play. The 4K Ultra result of 73.8 FPS is the only measured value below 100 FPS, making it the most demanding scenario.

Across all measurements, the pattern is clear: the RTX 4070 SUPER provides playable FPS (above 60) at every resolution and preset combination. The lowest FPS recorded is 73.8 at 4K Ultra, which is still a solid experience for a sports game. The highest FPS is 419.3 at 1080p Low, which is overkill for any display but demonstrates the CPU's ability to push very high frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + RTX 4070 SUPER combination ranks 295th out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 18.7% of all tested configurations, which is a strong result given the CPU's mid-range positioning. The 84th percentile ranking for both the CPU and GPU individually translates into a combined system that is well-balanced for this game.
