Undisputed

The pairing of AMD’s Ryzen 7 5700G with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 produces a fascinating dataset in Undisputed, one that reveals a clear shift in system bottleneck behavior across resolutions and settings. The measured frames per second (FPS) range from a blistering 405.9 at 1080p Low to a more restrained 68.7 at 4K Ultra, indicating that the RTX 5070 is the dominant performance driver at higher graphical loads, while the 5700G’s capabilities become increasingly relevant at lower settings and resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and telling. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 241.4 at 1080p to 172.2 at 1440p, a reduction of approximately 28.7%, and then further to 109.9 at 4K, a 54.5% drop from the 1080p figure. This pattern is consistent across all settings, though the magnitude varies. At Low settings, the decline is even more dramatic in absolute terms: from 405.9 at 1080p down to 294.3 at 1440p and finally to 186.1 at 4K. The 1080p to 4K gap at Low is 219.8 FPS, whereas at Ultra, the same resolution jump only costs 87.2 FPS (155.9 down to 68.7).

This scaling behavior suggests that at 1080p and Low settings, the system is heavily CPU-limited, as the GPU is capable of rendering far more frames than the processor can feed. The Ryzen 7 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, holds the system back from reaching even higher frame rates at this low-stress configuration. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the FPS drop becomes more linear and predictable. The data implies that for players targeting high refresh rates at 1080p, the CPU will be the ceiling, while at 4K, the RTX 5070’s workload is the primary constraint.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5700G is a Zen 3 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark scores show a strong multi-threaded capability, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 20755 and a single-core score of 2930. In the broader CPU landscape, it sits at the 83rd percentile, with an average benchmark score of 25626. When compared to its nearest rivals, the data shows it is nearly identical in performance: it trails the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U by 0.3%, but leads the Intel Xeon D-2752TER by 0.4% and the Intel Core 5 210H by 0.5%.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p Low, where the 405.9 FPS average is likely near the processor’s maximum throughput for this game. The fact that moving from 1080p Low to 1080p Medium only reduces FPS to 291.5, a 28.2% drop, suggests that the GPU is still not fully saturated at Medium. However, at 1440p Low, the 294.3 FPS result is significantly lower than the 1080p Low figure, indicating that the GPU begins to take on a more substantial burden at this resolution. The 5700G’s 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support provide adequate bandwidth for the RTX 5070, but the data implies that a higher-clocked or newer CPU would unlock higher maximum frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data offers clear guidance on optimal settings for different refresh rate targets. For players with a 1080p 240Hz monitor, the High preset at 241.4 FPS is the exact match, providing a smooth experience that aligns with the display’s maximum refresh rate. Dropping to Medium yields 291.5 FPS, which offers headroom but is unnecessary for a 240Hz panel. For 1440p, the High preset at 172.2 FPS is ideal for a 165Hz display, while the Medium preset at 213.5 FPS would suit a 240Hz monitor. At 4K, the High preset at 109.9 FPS is the only viable option for a smooth experience on a 60Hz to 120Hz display, as the Ultra preset’s 68.7 FPS is borderline for competitive play.

The Ultra preset is the most demanding, and the data shows it provides a significant visual cost without a proportional performance benefit. At 1080p, Ultra delivers 155.9 FPS, which is 85.5 FPS lower than High. At 1440p, the gap is 58.0 FPS (114.2 vs 172.2), and at 4K, it is 41.2 FPS (68.7 vs 109.9). Given these substantial drops, the High preset appears to be the sweet spot, offering the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate across all resolutions. The Low preset, while achieving extremely high frame rates, likely sacrifices too much visual quality for the average player.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 holds a rank of 320 out of 1580 total combos. This places it in the top 20.3% of all tested systems, which is a strong showing given that the CPU is not a top-tier gaming processor. The GPU’s high percentile rank of 83 (with an average benchmark score of 41687) is the primary driver of this performance level. The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (0.2% ahead), NVIDIA Tesla M40 (0.5% behind), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 (0.6% behind), and AMD Radeon Pro 580X (0.7% behind).

The rank of 320 suggests that while this combo is powerful, there are many other combinations that outperform it, likely those pairing the RTX 5070 with a faster CPU. The data implies that the 5700G is a limiting factor in achieving a higher rank, particularly in CPU-intensive scenarios at lower resolutions. However, for a system with an 8-core processor from the 5000 series, this rank is respectable and indicates that the combo is well-balanced for most gaming workloads, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU dominates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the clear performance leader in this pairing. It features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. Its boost clock is 2512 MHz, and it has 6144 shading units. The GPU’s benchmark scores are robust, with a Passmark G3D score of 29137 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5077. It sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 41687.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution and settings increase. At 4K Ultra, the 68.7 FPS average is clearly GPU-bound, as the RTX 5070 is working at its limit to render the highest quality visuals. The GPU’s 12 GB of VRAM is likely sufficient for this game at these settings, as the data does not indicate any memory-related performance dips. The transition from Medium to High at 4K shows a 23.2 FPS drop (133.1 to 109.9), which is a smaller relative change than the drop from High to Ultra (109.9 to 68.7, a 37.5% reduction), suggesting that the Ultra preset introduces effects that are particularly taxing on the GPU’s compute units. The RTX 5070’s performance relative to its nearest rivals shows it is slightly behind the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (0.2%) but ahead of the RTX 3090 (0.6%), indicating it holds its own against previous generation flagship cards.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data for this combo is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 405.9 at Low, 291.5 at Medium, 241.4 at High, to 155.9 at Ultra. The difference between Low and Ultra is a substantial 250.0 FPS, highlighting the massive performance cost of maxing out settings at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS drops to 294.3 at Low, 213.5 at Medium, 172.2 at High, and 114.2 at Ultra. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings shows reductions of 111.6 FPS (Low), 78.0 FPS (Medium), 69.2 FPS (High), and 41.7 FPS (Ultra).

At 3840x2160, the average FPS is 186.1 at Low, 133.1 at Medium, 109.9 at High, and 68.7 at Ultra. The jump from 1440p to 4K results in further drops of 108.2 FPS (Low), 80.4 FPS (Medium), 62.3 FPS (High), and 45.5 FPS (Ultra).

The data shows a consistent pattern: the performance gap between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution increases. At 1080p, the gap is 250.0 FPS; at 1440p, it is 180.1 FPS; and at 4K, it is 117.4 FPS. This reinforces the conclusion that the CPU is the bottleneck at lower resolutions, while the GPU becomes the sole limiting factor at 4K.
