Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination delivers a compelling performance profile in Undisputed, a sports title that proves highly sensitive to both processor and graphics load. The measured frame rates across resolutions and settings reveal a system capable of high-refresh-rate play at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K remaining viable at reduced quality presets. This analysis examines the specific roles of the CPU and GPU, the scaling behavior across resolutions, the combo’s standing in the broader benchmark database, and the optimal settings for the best experience.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D is a desktop processor featuring 8 cores and 16 threads, built on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer) using a 7 nm process. Its base clock is 3.00 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.10 GHz. A defining characteristic is the large shared L3 cache of 96 MB, which is likely a significant factor in game performance. The processor supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel architecture and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5700X3D shows strong multi-threaded capabilities. It scores 22,366 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3,157 in single-core. The Geekbench multi-core score is 10,108, and the single-core score is 1,922. The PassMark multithread score reaches 26,318, with a single-thread score of 2,970. The average benchmark score across all tests is 24,673, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. The processor’s performance is tightly clustered with its nearest rivals. The Intel Core i7-1360P has an average score of 24,627, a delta of 0.2%. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D scores 24,605 (0.3% delta), and the Intel Core i5-11600 scores 24,559 (0.5% delta). Another rival, the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385, scores 24,811, which is -0.6% relative to the 5700X3D.

For Undisputed, the relevance of the CPU is evident in the high frame rates achieved even at lower resolutions where the GPU is less burdened. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 307.7 FPS. This high number suggests that the processor is not a bottleneck in these scenarios, as the GPU is capable of pushing frames well above typical display refresh rates. The substantial L3 cache likely aids in maintaining consistent frame pacing during complex in-ring physics and AI computations.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture (chip GA104) using an 8 nm process. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU’s base clock is 1500 MHz, with a boost clock of 1725 MHz. It has 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation pipelines. The GPU also includes 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores, supporting features like DirectX 12 Ultimate.

In its benchmark suite, the RTX 3070 scores 22,214 in PassMark G3D and 11,195 in PassMark GPU compute. The Geekbench OpenCL score is 123,479, and the Vulkan score is 120,664. The average benchmark score is 28,238, placing it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals show a tight grouping. The AMD FirePro S7150 has an average score of 28,409 (-0.6% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT scores 27,985 (0.9% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti scores 27,956 (1% delta). The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28,541, a -1.1% delta.

The GPU’s role becomes the clear limiter when settings are raised to Ultra. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 119.3, a significant drop from the 184 FPS at High. This trend is consistent across resolutions, indicating that the 8 GB VRAM and GPU compute are fully utilized at the highest preset. The 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is a critical asset for handling the high-resolution textures and effects in Undisputed, but the data shows that the GPU is the primary constraint at Ultra settings, even at 1080p.

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

The measured frame rates show a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with High settings, the average FPS is 184. Moving to 1440p High drops this to 132.9 FPS, a decrease of 27.8%. At 4K High, the average FPS falls to 83.9, which is 54.4% lower than the 1080p figure. This scaling suggests a system that is primarily GPU-limited at these settings, as the frame rate penalty scales with the pixel count.

The Low settings preset reveals a different dynamic. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 307.7 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 220.5 FPS, and at 4K Low, it is 141.5 FPS. The absolute frame rates are high, but the percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is 54.0%. This similar proportional drop indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU is still the dominant factor, though the CPU is providing enough headroom to allow for these high numbers.

The Ultra preset shows the steepest scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 119.3. At 1440p Ultra, it is 86.7 FPS, a 27.3% drop. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS is 52.8, representing a 55.7% reduction from 1080p. The data consistently shows that the GPU is the limiting component across all resolutions and settings. The CPU’s performance, as indicated by the high frame rates at Low settings, is sufficient to feed the GPU, but the RTX 3070’s compute and memory resources dictate the final output.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the overall benchmark database for Undisputed, this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 holds a rank of 745 out of 1,580 tested combos. This places the system in the upper half of all configurations tested, specifically in the 53rd percentile (calculated as 745/1580). The rank is a composite measure based on the measured FPS across various resolutions and settings.

This mid-pack ranking is consistent with the individual component performance. The CPU is in the 82nd percentile, and the GPU is in the 72nd percentile, but their combination in a demanding game like Undisputed results in a final ranking that is lower than either component’s individual standing. This can be attributed to the game’s sensitivity to GPU load at higher settings, which limits the potential of the strong CPU. The rank indicates that while this combo is capable of excellent performance, there are many configurations above it that likely feature more powerful GPUs to push higher frame rates at 4K Ultra. Conversely, the score is well above the bottom half of the database, confirming the system’s solid overall capability for this title.

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

The measured data provides a clear picture of the performance envelope, allowing for specific settings recommendations based on target resolution and desired frame rate. For users with a 1080p display seeking the highest possible frame rates, the Low preset delivers an average of 307.7 FPS. This is far beyond any standard display’s refresh rate and is more than sufficient for competitive play. However, the Medium preset at 219.8 FPS and the High preset at 184 FPS offer substantial visual improvements while still exceeding 144 Hz, making them the preferred choices for most players.

At 1440p, the High preset is the sweet spot. It provides an average of 132.9 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors (144 Hz). The Medium preset offers 161.5 FPS, providing extra headroom. The Ultra preset at 1440p yields 86.7 FPS, which is playable but may not be smooth on high-refresh displays. For 4K displays, the data suggests that the Low preset is the most viable option for high frame rates, with an average of 141.5 FPS. The Medium preset at 100.6 FPS is also a strong option, offering a good balance between fidelity and performance. The High preset at 4K produces 83.9 FPS, which is acceptable for 60 Hz displays, while the Ultra preset at 52.8 FPS is best avoided unless visual fidelity is the absolute priority.

The optimal experience depends on the display’s refresh rate. For a 144 Hz 1080p or 1440p monitor, the High preset provides an excellent balance, with 184 and 132.9 FPS respectively. For a 60 Hz 4K display, the High preset’s 83.9 FPS offers a solid experience, but the Medium preset at 100.6 FPS will provide smoother motion. The Ultra preset, despite its visual quality, results in frame rates that dip below 60 FPS at 4K (52.8 FPS), which is generally not recommended for a sports game requiring responsive controls. The data indicates that the High preset is the most balanced choice across all resolutions, offering a substantial upgrade over Medium while maintaining frame rates that are high enough for a responsive and fluid experience.
