Undisputed

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured frame rates for Undisputed with the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 show a clear and consistent scaling pattern as resolution climbs. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers 400 FPS average. Dropping to 1440p Low reduces that to 289 FPS, a 27.8% decline, and at 4K Low the average falls to 183 FPS, another 36.7% drop from 1440p. This trajectory suggests the game is heavily GPU-bound at lower resolutions, where the CPU still has headroom, but the rendering load quickly saturates the graphics card as pixel count multiplies.

The pattern is similar across all settings presets. At High settings, the transition from 1080p to 1440p sees the average FPS fall from 238 to 172, a 27.7% decline. Moving from 1440p to 4K High drops the average from 172 to 109, a 36.6% reduction. The scaling ratio between consecutive resolution steps is nearly identical for Low and High, indicating that the limiting component shifts uniformly with pixel throughput rather than being affected by specific quality settings.

Ultra settings tell the same story with a steeper absolute decline. At 1080p Ultra, the combo averages 153 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, that falls to 111 FPS, a 27.5% drop. At 4K Ultra, the average collapses to 70 FPS, a 36.9% reduction from 1440p. The consistency of these percentages — roughly 27-28% for the first step and 36-37% for the second — points to a rendering pipeline where the GPU's pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints.

The measured minimum and maximum FPS values at Medium settings reinforce this. At 1080p Medium, the frame rate ranges from 245 to 331 FPS, a spread of 86 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the range is 177 to 239 FPS, a 62 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, the range narrows to 112 to 151 FPS, a 39 FPS spread. As resolution increases, the variance shrinks proportionally, which is typical of a GPU-bound scenario where frame times become more consistent under heavier load.

What this scaling says about the limiting component is unambiguous. At 1080p, the system can push well beyond 200 FPS on most presets, but the RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth become the bottleneck as the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is not the constraining factor at any resolution tested — the data shows the frame rate drops are almost entirely attributable to the GPU's rendering workload.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a desktop processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture with the Cezanne codename. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The chip is manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 180 mm² and 10,700 million transistors. Its thermal design power is 65 W, and it fits the AMD Socket AM4.

In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU posts a 3DMark score of 6,628 with 16 threads and 901 in single-thread testing. The multi-threaded 3DMark score of 6,617 is nearly identical to the 16-thread result, indicating that the processor's thread scaling saturates at its full core count. Cinebench R23 results show 20,655 points in multi-core and 2,916 in single-core. Geekbench scores are 9,959 multi-core and 1,907 single-core. PassMark results include a multi-thread score of 24,303 and a single-thread score of 3,296.

For a game like Undisputed, a sports title focused on boxing simulation, the CPU workload is typically moderate. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration provides ample parallelism for game logic, physics, and AI opponent behavior. The boost clock of 4.60 GHz ensures strong single-thread performance for the main game loop, which is reflected in the high frame rates seen at 1080p where the GPU is not yet saturated.

The CPU's percentile ranking among all processors is 78, meaning it outperforms 78% of tested CPUs in aggregate benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score is 25,517. Among its nearest rivals, the Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25,530 (0.1% higher), the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25,485 (0.1% lower), the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25,550 (0.1% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25,446 (0.3% lower). These deltas are negligible, placing the Ryzen 7 5700 in a tightly competitive band.

The CPU's memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The L3 cache is 16 MB, with 512 KB L2 per core and 64 KB L1 per core. The PCIe interface is Gen 3 with 20 lanes from the CPU. These specifications are adequate for feeding the GPU in Undisputed, where the game's data access patterns are not exceptionally demanding compared to open-world titles.

The measured FPS data shows no signs of CPU limitation. At 1080p Low, the system produces 400 FPS, which is well beyond what most displays can show. The fact that the frame rate drops consistently with resolution, rather than plateauing, indicates the CPU is delivering frames faster than the GPU can render them at every setting combination tested. The CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 6,628 and PassMark multi-thread score of 24,303 support its capacity to handle the game's simulation threads without bottlenecking.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is part of the GeForce 50-series, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB205 chip. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 263 mm² and 31,100 million transistors. The GPU has 6,144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines. It also includes 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores.

Clock speeds are a base of 2,325 MHz and a boost of 2,512 MHz. Memory is 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, with an effective speed of 28 Gbps and bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. The pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 482.3 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is 30.87 TFLOPS, with FP16 also at 30.87 TFLOPS (1:1). The card has a TDP of 250 W and uses a 1x 16-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 600 W.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 5070 scores 5,077 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Geekbench results are 172,660 in OpenCL and 178,923 in Vulkan. PassMark scores include 29,137 in G3D and 15,787 in GPU compute. The GPU's percentile ranking among all graphics cards is 82, with an average benchmark score of 40,377.

Nearest rivals by average score include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 at 40,318 (0.1% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 at 40,063 (0.8% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 at 40,870 (1.2% higher), and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile at 39,568 (2.0% higher). The RTX 5070 sits between these professional and mobile parts in raw compute terms.

For Undisputed, the GPU's role is dominant. The game is not particularly demanding on VRAM at the tested resolutions, but the 12 GB capacity is sufficient for 4K Ultra without risk of memory spillover. The 672.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth is the key specification driving the resolution scaling observed. At 4K, the pixel throughput required to sustain high frame rates stresses the memory subsystem, which is why the average FPS at 4K Ultra falls to 70.

The boost clock of 2,512 MHz provides the compute throughput needed for the game's physics and rendering effects. The 192 texture mapping units and 80 ROPs handle texture filtering and pixel output adequately for a sports title that does not rely on heavy geometry or particle effects. The ray tracing cores are present but unlikely to be fully utilized in Undisputed, which is not a ray tracing showcase.

The measured FPS at 4K Medium ranges from 112 to 151 FPS, with an average of 132. This is well within the GPU's capability envelope given its TFLOPS rating. At 1080p Low, the 400 FPS average demonstrates the card's headroom when the pixel load is low. The scaling pattern across resolutions suggests the GPU is the sole limiting factor, with the CPU providing frames faster than the GPU can process them at every setting.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured FPS rows for Undisputed cover four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — across three resolutions. The data allows a direct comparison of what each preset delivers in terms of average frame rate and, where available, minimum and maximum FPS.

At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 400 FPS average. Medium produces 288 FPS with a range of 245 to 331. High yields 238 FPS. Ultra drops to 153 FPS. All of these are above 144 FPS, meaning any of the presets at 1080p will comfortably drive a high-refresh-rate monitor. The gap between Low and Ultra is 247 FPS, which is substantial, but the visual quality difference in a boxing game may not justify the performance cost if the display is capped at 144 Hz.

At 1440p, the Low preset averages 289 FPS. Medium averages 208 FPS with a range of 177 to 239. High averages 172 FPS. Ultra averages 111 FPS. Here, the Ultra preset dips below the 120 FPS threshold that some users consider minimum for smooth competitive play. High and Medium both stay above 144 FPS, making them viable for high-refresh displays.

At 4K, the Low preset averages 183 FPS. Medium averages 132 FPS with a range of 112 to 151. High averages 109 FPS. Ultra averages 70 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only combination that falls below 100 FPS, and it is the least playable option if frame rate consistency is a priority. Medium at 4K offers a balanced experience, with the minimum of 112 FPS still above the 60 FPS baseline.

The best experience per the measured rows depends on the target display and performance preference. For 1080p users, the High preset at 238 FPS offers a strong balance of visual fidelity and frame rate, leaving headroom above 144 Hz. For 1440p, the Medium preset at 208 FPS with a tight range of 177 to 239 provides smooth gameplay without sacrificing too much visual quality. For 4K, the Medium preset at 132 FPS is the most sensible choice, as it stays above 100 FPS while the Ultra preset falls to 70 FPS, which may introduce noticeable stutter in fast-paced boxing exchanges.

The Ultra preset at any resolution delivers the lowest frame rates, and at 4K it is the only combination that drops below 100 FPS. The data suggests that Ultra is not the optimal choice for this combo in Undisputed, particularly at higher resolutions, where the GPU's memory bandwidth becomes the limiting factor. Medium or High presets provide the best measured performance per visual quality trade-off.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 ranks 782nd out of 3,718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 21% of all configurations tested for this game. The rank is based on the measured FPS data across the tested resolutions and settings, with the combo's performance being representative of a mid-to-high-tier desktop pairing.

The rank of 782 out of 3,718 means the combo outperforms 2,936 other configurations tested, while 781 combos are faster. In percentage terms, this is roughly the 79th percentile of all tested combos for this game. The RTX 5070's GPU percentile of 82 among all graphics cards and the CPU's percentile of 78 among all processors align closely with this in-game ranking, suggesting that the combo's performance is consistent with its component-level standings.

The data shows that the combo is not at the top of the leaderboard, which is expected given that the RTX 5070 is a mid-range to upper-mid-range GPU in the GeForce 50-series, and the Ryzen 7 5700 is a mainstream 8-core processor. The combos ranked above it likely feature higher-tier GPUs such as the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090, or flagship CPUs with higher boost clocks and more cache, which would provide additional headroom in CPU-light games like Undisputed.

The rank also reflects the game's engine characteristics. Undisputed, being a sports title, does not heavily tax the CPU, so the GPU's raw rendering power dominates the ranking. The RTX 5070's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 672.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to place it well above the median combo, but not enough to challenge the top-tier configurations that use higher-end Blackwell parts with more CUDA cores and wider memory buses.

For users with this combo, the ranking indicates that they are getting solid performance in Undisputed, with the ability to play at high settings on 1440p and medium settings on 4K without dropping below 100 FPS. The gap to the top combos is not enormous — the delta in frame rates between this rank and the top 100 is likely in the range of 20-30% based on the resolution scaling data — but it is enough to matter for those seeking the absolute highest refresh rates at 4K Ultra.
