Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination delivers a strong showing in Undisputed, but the data reveals a clear hierarchy between CPU and GPU limits depending on resolution. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS results across the four tested presets and three resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and tells a clear story about which component is the bottleneck. At 1080p High, the combo averages 185.6 FPS, which is already far beyond what a standard 60Hz or even 144Hz display needs. Moving to 1440p High drops that to 133.9 FPS, a reduction of about 28%. Jumping to 4K High further reduces the average to 84 FPS, which is a 55% decrease from the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates the GPU is the limiting factor as resolution increases.

The pattern is consistent across all settings. At Low settings, the combo goes from 310.7 FPS at 1080p down to 222.9 FPS at 1440p and then 141.1 FPS at 4K. The 1080p Low result of 310.7 FPS is exceptionally high and shows that the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU at lower resolutions. Even at 4K Low, the 141.1 FPS average is still very playable, suggesting that the RTX 3070 has enough raw power for high refresh rates at 4K when settings are reduced.

The most telling data point is the Ultra preset. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 120.5 FPS, which is still excellent. However, at 1440p Ultra it falls to 87.1 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it drops to 55.6 FPS. This 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the Ultra preset combined with 4K resolution is too demanding for this hardware pairing. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra settings shows a 54% performance loss, nearly identical to the High preset's 55% loss.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 22620 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 3193 in single-core, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs. This strong single-thread performance is directly relevant to Undisputed, a sports game that typically relies on a few heavily loaded threads for game logic and physics.

The 1080p Low result of 310.7 FPS is the clearest evidence of CPU capability. At this resolution and setting, the GPU is not the bottleneck, so the CPU's ability to process frames quickly is what allows such a high number. The 3dmark single-thread score of 921 and 2-thread score of 1821 suggest that the processor can handle the demanding frame-by-frame calculations needed for a fighting game. With 32 MB of shared L3 cache, the 5700X has enough fast memory to keep frequently accessed game data close at hand.

Compared to its nearest rivals, the 5700X is essentially tied with the Intel Core i9-11900KF, showing only a 0.1% deltaPct in average benchmark score. It also performs within 0.2% of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. This means that for Undisputed, CPU choice among these processors is unlikely to produce meaningful FPS differences. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide solid headroom for background tasks while gaming, and the 65W TDP (though not directly tested here) suggests efficient operation.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to a clear sweet spot between visual quality and performance. For 1080p displays, the High preset at 185.6 FPS is the best choice. It delivers a massive frame rate that will easily max out any 144Hz or 240Hz monitor, and it does so with significantly better visuals than Low or Medium. The Ultra preset at 120.5 FPS is also viable for 1080p if the user prefers maximum visual fidelity, but High offers nearly 54% more FPS for what is likely a minor visual trade-off.

At 1440p, the High preset at 133.9 FPS is the recommended starting point. This is well above the 100 FPS mark and provides a smooth experience on 120Hz or 144Hz displays. The Medium preset at 159.6 FPS is an option for those who prioritize frame rate above all else, but High's visual improvement is worth the 16% performance cost. The Ultra preset at 87.1 FPS is acceptable for 60Hz displays, but it fails to take full advantage of higher refresh rate monitors.

For 4K, the situation changes. The High preset at 84 FPS is the best balance of quality and speed, providing a smooth experience on a 60Hz display with some headroom for dips. The Medium preset at 102.3 FPS is also strong and would be better for users with 120Hz 4K displays. The Low preset at 141.1 FPS is surprisingly playable and shows that the RTX 3070 can handle 4K if settings are reduced. The Ultra preset at 55.6 FPS falls below 60 FPS and should be avoided unless the user is willing to accept occasional stuttering.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 ranks 716th out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the 45th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly half of the tested configurations perform better. However, this rank should be interpreted with caution because the database includes many high-end and enthusiast-grade systems with newer, more expensive components.

The rank of 716 out of 1580 indicates that this is a mid-to-upper-midrange setup. The RTX 3070, which sits in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, is the primary driver of this ranking. The CPU's 83rd percentile score is higher than the GPU's, suggesting that the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenarios. This is consistent with the resolution scaling data, which shows larger FPS drops at higher resolutions where the GPU becomes the bottleneck.

For a sports game like Undisputed, this ranking is more than sufficient. The 716th rank out of 1580 means that many lower-ranked systems will struggle to hit 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra, while this combo achieves 120.5 FPS at that setting. The data shows that this pairing is well-balanced, with the CPU providing enough throughput to avoid holding back the GPU at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It has a boost clock of 1725 MHz and delivers 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The GPU sits in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rival in the database is the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which trails by 0.9% in average benchmark score.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a significant factor for 4K gaming. At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 55.6 FPS, which is the only sub-60 FPS result in the measured data. This suggests that the combination of high resolution and high settings is using nearly all available VRAM and shading resources. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for 1440p High, where the combo achieves 133.9 FPS, but the 4K Ultra result shows that the GPU is hitting its limits.

The RTX 3070's performance in synthetic benchmarks is strong, with a Passmark G3D score of 22214 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3162. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 123479 indicates solid compute performance. In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes dominant at 4K, where the FPS drops are steepest. The 220W TDP and 1x 12-pin power connector are worth noting for system builders, but the measured performance shows that the GPU is the primary determinant of FPS at higher resolutions and settings.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combo for this system?

A: The data shows that 1440p High at 133.9 FPS is the most balanced option, offering high frame rates with good visual quality. For 4K, High at 84 FPS is the best choice, as Ultra drops to 55.6 FPS.

*Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 4K with playable frame rates?*
