Undisputed

This combo pairs an 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, and for Undisputed, the data shows a paradoxical result: the CPU is the bottleneck, yet the frame rates are still exceptionally high. The measured results place this pairing at rank 55 out of 1580 tested combos in the game, which puts it in the top 3.5% of all configurations. This high ranking is driven almost entirely by the GPU's raw power, as the RTX 4090's performance ceiling is far above what this processor can feed it at lower resolutions. The overall picture is one of a massively overqualified graphics card paired with a mid-range CPU, producing outstanding but not class-leading results.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 55 out of 1580 tested combinations is strong, but the data reveals it is not the absolute top tier. A rank of 55 means that 54 other CPU-GPU pairings have delivered higher average frame rates in Undisputed. Given that the RTX 4090 is one of the most powerful consumer GPUs available, the limiting factor here is the Ryzen 7 5700G. The processor's average benchmark score of 25626 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. While that is a solid score, it lags behind the top-tier processors that would typically be paired with an RTX 4090 to reach the absolute highest ranks. The data suggests that with a more powerful CPU, this same GPU could likely push the combo into the top 10 or even higher, but with the 5700G, the system is held back. The measured FPS at 1080p Ultra of 202.5 is high, but it is not the 300+ FPS ceiling that the GPU alone could theoretically reach in less CPU-bound scenarios. This rank confirms the RTX 4090's brute strength, which can overcome a weaker CPU to a large extent, but it also clearly identifies the CPU as the component preventing this from being a top-10 setup.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant force in this pairing, and its specifications make that clear. It features 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering a massive 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. This is crucial for Undisputed at high resolutions and settings, as the game can consume significant video memory for textures and geometry. The GPU's boost clock is 2520 MHz, and it contains 16384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs. In the measured data, the GPU's role is to provide raw rendering power. The benchmark scores for the GPU, such as a Passmark G3D score of 38194 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 317684, show its immense compute capability. In practice, this translates to the GPU being able to handle even the most demanding 4K Ultra settings, as seen by the 94.2 FPS average at that preset. However, the GPU's performance is not fully utilized at lower resolutions. For instance, at 1080p Low, the FPS jumps to 514.3, but this is likely a scenario where the CPU is struggling to issue draw calls fast enough, leaving the GPU partially idle. The RTX 4090's role is to be the workhorse, and it does its job admirably, but it is waiting on the CPU in many scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data shows a clear pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases, which is the classic sign of a CPU bottleneck at lower resolutions. At 1080p High, the combo delivers 314.6 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the frame rate drops to 230.8 FPS, a decrease of about 27%. At 4K High, the FPS falls further to 142.7, which is a 55% drop from the 1080p figure. This scaling is unusually steep. For a GPU-bound system, the drop from 1080p to 4K would typically be larger, as the GPU has to render four times the pixels. Here, the drop is significant but not as severe as expected, which indicates that the CPU is already a limiting factor at 1080p. The gap between 1080p and 1440p (84 FPS) is smaller than the gap between 1440p and 4K (88 FPS), but the percentage drop is more telling. The fact that the system can produce 314.6 FPS at 1080p High means the CPU is capable, but the RTX 4090 can do much more. When the resolution increases, the load shifts to the GPU, which is why the FPS does not collapse entirely. At 4K, the GPU is finally working near its full potential, and the CPU bottleneck becomes less severe. This data suggests that for a balanced experience, 1440p is the sweet spot, but the RTX 4090 is being held back at all resolutions below 4K.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target frame rate and resolution. At 4K, the Ultra preset delivers 94.2 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a competitive sports title. The High preset at 4K offers a much better 142.7 FPS, representing a 51% performance gain over Ultra with presumably a modest visual sacrifice. For 1440p, the Ultra preset achieves 149.7 FPS, which is excellent for a high-refresh monitor. The High preset at 1440p hits 230.8 FPS, which is fantastic for 144Hz or even 240Hz displays. At 1080p, all presets are playable, but the High setting with 314.6 FPS is the most balanced. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields 202.5 FPS, which is still very smooth but lower than High. The data indicates that the High preset is the best choice for a high-refresh-rate experience at any resolution. It provides the best balance between visual fidelity and frame rate, avoiding the steep performance cost of Ultra while still looking substantially better than Medium. For players with a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor, High at 4K is the recommended setting. For 1440p users, Ultra is viable, but High is recommended for maximum smoothness.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates are consistent and show a clear hierarchy across settings and resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces an average of 514.3 FPS, which is the highest recorded in this dataset. The Medium preset yields 379.9 FPS, and High drops to 314.6 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, producing 202.5 FPS. This shows a 61% performance drop from Low to Ultra at this resolution. At 2560x1440, the Low preset delivers 386.4 FPS, which is still remarkably high. Medium produces 273.7 FPS, and High achieves 230.8 FPS. Ultra at 1440p is 149.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra here is a 61% drop, mirroring the 1080p pattern. At 3840x2160, the Low preset hits 241.4 FPS, which is a substantial drop from the 1080p Low score of 514.3 FPS, showing the GPU is now more engaged. Medium produces 174.1 FPS, and High delivers 142.7 FPS. Ultra at 4K is the only preset that drops below 100 FPS, yielding 94.2 FPS. The data shows that the gap between High and Ultra widens as resolution increases, with a difference of 112 FPS at 1080p, 81 FPS at 1440p, and 48.5 FPS at 4K, indicating that Ultra settings have a high cost that grows less severe at lower resolutions.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo good for playing Undisputed at 4K?

A: Yes, the data shows it is capable. At 4K High settings, the combo delivers an average of 142.7 FPS, which is excellent for a smooth 4K experience. Even at 4K Ultra, it maintains 94.2 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS standard.

Q: Why does the FPS drop so much from 1080p to 4K?

A: The drop is significant but not as severe as one might expect. The FPS at 1080p High is 314.6, while at 4K High it is 142.7. This drop occurs because the GPU is being fully utilized at higher resolutions, whereas at 1080p, the processor is the main limiting factor.

A: The highest recorded average FPS for this combo is 514.3, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with the Low preset. This shows the extreme upper limit of the system's frame rate capability.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is the weaker link in this pairing, yet its specifications are still substantial. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. It has 16 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 20755 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2930 in single-core. The Passmark multithread score is 24419, and the single-thread score is 3283. These scores show a capable processor, but in the context of gaming with an RTX 4090, they are not sufficient. The CPU's 83rd percentile ranking versus all CPUs is respectable, but it is far from the top 1% needed to keep up with the GPU. The data shows that in Undisputed, the CPU is the bottleneck at resolutions below 4K. This is evidenced by the FPS scaling: at 1080p High, the system produces 314.6 FPS, but the GPU is likely capable of much more. The processor's job is to prepare frames for the GPU, and its 8 cores and 16 threads are simply not fast enough to feed the RTX 4090 at its maximum speed. This results in the GPU waiting for the CPU, which is why the FPS does not reach the levels seen with top-tier processors. The CPU's performance is adequate for a stable experience, but it prevents the full potential of the RTX 4090 from being realized.
