Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 pairing in Undisputed delivers a benchmark profile that is dominated by the GPU’s raw throughput, yet the CPU’s architectural limits become visible at the highest frame rates. This analysis examines the measured data to clarify how each component contributes to the game’s performance across resolutions and settings.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform with a 65 W TDP, and its 16 MB of L3 cache is shared across the eight cores. The CPU’s benchmark results place it at the 84th percentile among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 27220. In synthetic tests, its 3dmark single-thread score is 901, while the 3dmark 16-thread score reaches 6628, indicating a solid balance between single-core responsiveness and multi-threaded capability.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is most apparent at lower resolutions and lower graphical settings, where the GPU is less burdened and frame rates can rise substantially. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 512.5 FPS, a figure that far exceeds the demands of most displays. This high frame rate is enabled by the CPU’s ability to feed the RTX 4090 with enough data, particularly given its 16 threads and 4.60 GHz boost capability. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655 and single-core score of 2916 further illustrate that this processor can handle the game’s simulation and physics loads without becoming a bottleneck in typical gameplay scenarios.

However, the data also reveals that the CPU’s limits are approached when frame rates are pushed to extremes. Compared to its nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 5700 is only 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K and 0.8% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700H, with average scores of 27043 and 27006, respectively. This narrow margin indicates that while the CPU is competitive, it does not have a significant headroom advantage over older high-end parts. In Undisputed, this means that at 1080p Low, where the RTX 4090 could theoretically render even more frames, the CPU’s single-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 901) and multi-thread scaling (3dmark 16-thread score of 6628) may cap the output. The difference between 1080p Low at 512.5 FPS and 1440p Low at 383.5 FPS—a drop of 129 FPS—suggests that the CPU is not the primary limiter at 1440p, but at 1080p it is likely contributing to the ceiling.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this pairing, with 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, providing 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock is 2520 MHz, and it features 16384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs. The GPU’s benchmark scores place it at the 91st percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average score of 66473. Its passmark G3D score of 38194 and 3dmark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 9223 confirm its top-tier status, though its nearest rivals in the database—such as the NVIDIA Tesla T4 and Tesla P40—are professional cards with different performance profiles, showing a deltaPct of -0.4% and 0.5%, respectively.

In Undisputed, the RTX 4090’s performance is the primary driver of the measured frame rates across all resolutions and settings. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 95.7 FPS, which is a demanding scenario that stresses the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth. The GPU’s pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s are directly relevant here, as they determine how quickly the card can process the game’s high-resolution textures and effects. At 4K High, the average rises to 145.8 FPS, and at 4K Medium it reaches 172.9 FPS, showing that the GPU scales well with reduced settings. The jump to 4K Low at 243 FPS is notable, indicating that the game’s lowest settings reduce the GPU load enough to nearly double the frame rate from Ultra.

The GPU’s 24 GB VRAM is unlikely to be a limiting factor in Undisputed, as the game’s asset sizes at 4K Ultra are well within this capacity. The memory bandwidth of 1.01 TB/s ensures that texture streaming and high-resolution rendering do not cause stutter. The data shows a clear pattern: the RTX 4090 is the performance ceiling for this combo, and the CPU only becomes relevant when the GPU is underutilized at lower resolutions and settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 combination ranks 53rd out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, which places it in the top 3.4% of all pairings. This high ranking is primarily attributable to the RTX 4090’s exceptional performance, as the GPU’s average benchmark score of 66473 is far above the median for the database. The CPU’s contribution is more modest, but its 84th percentile ranking among all processors ensures that it does not severely hinder the GPU in most scenarios.

In the context of the game’s measured results, this ranking is consistent with the frame rates observed. At 4K Ultra, the combo achieves 95.7 FPS, which is playable for most users, and at 1440p Ultra it reaches 147 FPS. The ranking also reflects the fact that the CPU is not a bottleneck at 4K, where the GPU is clearly the limiting component. However, at 1080p Low, the combo’s 512.5 FPS is so high that the ranking would likely be lower if the CPU were stronger, as other processors might achieve even higher frame rates. The deltaPct values from the CPU’s nearest rivals—ranging from 0.7% to 1.2%—indicate that the Ryzen 7 5700 is not far behind newer or higher-tier parts, but it also does not have a decisive advantage. Overall, the combo’s 53rd place ranking is a strong result, driven by the GPU’s dominance, with the CPU providing sufficient support for most gaming scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates show a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K, with the GPU becoming the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo averages 512.5 FPS, which drops to 383.5 FPS at 1440p Low (a 25% reduction) and further to 243 FPS at 4K Low (a 53% reduction from 1080p). This scaling indicates that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are heavily taxed at higher resolutions, even at the lowest settings.

At High settings, the pattern is similar but with lower absolute values. The 1080p High result of 318.5 FPS drops to 230.5 FPS at 1440p High (a 28% reduction) and to 145.8 FPS at 4K High (a 54% reduction). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings suggests that the GPU’s performance scales linearly with the number of pixels, which is typical for a card with 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth. At Ultra settings, the 1080p result of 205.5 FPS drops to 147 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and to 95.7 FPS at 4K (a 53% reduction), further confirming this trend.

The data shows that the CPU’s influence is greatest at 1080p Low, where the 512.5 FPS result is likely GPU-limited only in the sense that the CPU cannot push beyond that threshold. At 4K Ultra, the 95.7 FPS result is firmly GPU-limited, as the RTX 4090’s 443.5 GPixel/s pixel rate is the determining factor. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at each settings tier—ranging from 53% to 54% reductions—indicates that the GPU is the consistent bottleneck across all configurations, while the CPU’s role is secondary and only becomes apparent at the lowest resolution and settings where frame rates exceed 400 FPS.
