Undisputed

# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 5800X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 delivers a robust experience in Undisputed, a sports title that scales predictably across resolutions and settings. With the CPU sitting in the 84th percentile of all processors and the GPU in the 72nd percentile, this combo occupies the 725th position out of 1,580 tested combinations. The measured frame rates reveal a system that excels at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K Ultra pushes the hardware to its limits. The data shows a clear performance hierarchy: Low settings at 1080p reach 307.2 FPS, while Ultra at 4K drops to 56.2 FPS—a span that highlights both the headroom available at lower loads and the strain imposed by maximum fidelity at high pixel counts.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep but consistent, indicating that the RTX 3070 becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p (307.2 FPS) to 1440p (225.1 FPS) represents a 26.7% reduction, and moving to 4K (141 FPS) cuts performance by another 37.4% relative to 1440p. This progressive decline suggests the GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient at lower resolutions but increasingly strained as the render target grows.

At Medium settings, the pattern holds: 225.1 FPS at 1080p falls to 161.8 FPS at 1440p (a 28.1% drop), then to 101.2 FPS at 4K (a 37.5% drop from 1440p). The similarity in percentage decreases across Low and Medium presets implies the scaling is primarily resolution-driven rather than settings-driven—the GPU's compute resources, including its 5,888 shading units and 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, are being consumed by pixel fill work.

High settings show a slightly different curve: 183.9 FPS at 1080p, 132.6 FPS at 1440p (27.9% drop), and 85.9 FPS at 4K (35.2% drop from 1440p). Ultra settings compress the numbers further: 116.1 FPS at 1080p, 85 FPS at 1440p (26.8% drop), and 56.2 FPS at 4K (33.9% drop). The consistent ~27% reduction from 1080p to 1440p across all presets suggests the CPU is keeping pace; the Ryzen 7 5800X's 8 cores and 16 threads at up to 4.70 GHz boost provide ample headroom for this sports title.

The 4K step is where the GPU's limitations become apparent. The RTX 3070's 96 ROPs and 165.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are challenged at 3840x2160, especially under Ultra settings where the 56.2 FPS result falls below the 60 FPS threshold many players prefer. This indicates that at 4K, the graphics card—not the processor—dictates performance, a conclusion reinforced by the relatively moderate FPS gaps between settings at that resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For players prioritizing smoothness, the data suggests Low settings at 4K (141 FPS) or Medium at 1440p (161.8 FPS) as the sweet spots. At 1080p, even Ultra settings deliver 116.1 FPS, making maximum fidelity viable for high-refresh-rate monitors. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p costs 82.1 FPS (307.2 to 225.1), while Medium to High costs another 41.2 FPS (225.1 to 183.9)—each step provides visual gains but with diminishing returns as settings climb.

At 1440p, Medium settings (161.8 FPS) offer a strong balance, staying well above 144 Hz refresh rates while leaving headroom for demanding scenes. High settings at 1440p (132.6 FPS) still clear 120 FPS, making this preset attractive for gamers with 1440p 144 Hz displays who want better visual quality. Ultra at 1440p (85 FPS) drops below the 100 FPS mark, which may be acceptable for slower-paced sports gameplay but is not ideal for competitive play.

The 4K results are more constrained. Medium settings (101.2 FPS) provide a playable experience, while High (85.9 FPS) remains above 60 FPS. Ultra at 4K (56.2 FPS) dips below that threshold, suggesting players should avoid maximum settings at this resolution unless they can tolerate sub-60 FPS performance. Given the genre—a sports title where reaction time matters but not to esports extremes—the measured data recommends High settings at 1440p as the optimal balance of visual fidelity and frame rate for this combo.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo sits at rank 725 out of 1,580 tested combinations, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. This positioning reflects the RTX 3070's 72nd percentile standing among GPUs and the Ryzen 7 5800X's stronger 84th percentile among CPUs. The rank suggests the pairing is well-matched for this game, with the CPU providing enough throughput to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at most settings.

The GPU's nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, which scores 0.9% lower in aggregate benchmarks, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, which trails by 1%. The RTX 3070 outperforms these alternatives, and the measured FPS in Undisputed reflects this advantage—though the game's relatively moderate demands mean even older hardware can achieve playable results. On the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 5800X edges out the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 by 0.3% and trails the Intel Core i7-13700H by 0.4% in average benchmark scores, differences unlikely to manifest meaningfully in this title's frame rates.

The 725th rank out of 1,580 indicates that many stronger combos exist, but this pairing remains competitive. The data implies the RTX 3070 is the performance ceiling—upgrading the CPU alone would yield minimal gains, while a stronger GPU would push the combo higher in the rankings, particularly at 4K where the graphics card is clearly the limiting factor.

A: The data suggests not. The CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads, combined with a 4.70 GHz boost clock, keep pace with the GPU at all tested resolutions. The consistent ~27% FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p across settings indicates the GPU, not the CPU, is the primary bottleneck.

Q: What settings should I use for a 144 Hz monitor?

A: At 1080p, all settings exceed 116 FPS, so Ultra is viable. At 1440p, Medium (161.8 FPS) and High (132.6 FPS) both stay above 120 FPS, making them suitable for 144 Hz displays. Low settings at 1440p reach 225.1 FPS if maximum frame rate is the goal.

GPU Role

The RTX 3070's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves adequate for Undisputed at most settings but becomes a limiting factor at 4K Ultra. The GPU's base clock of 1500 MHz and boost clock of 1725 MHz, paired with 5,888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units, deliver strong raw throughput. The 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 performance is evident in the high frame rates at lower resolutions, where the card operates well within its capabilities.

At 4K, the GPU's 96 ROPs and 165.6 GPixel/s pixel rate struggle under Ultra settings, producing the 56.2 FPS result. The memory bandwidth appears sufficient—there is no catastrophic drop between Medium and High at 4K (101.2 to 85.9 FPS)—but the compute load of Ultra settings pushes the card to its limits. The RTX 3070's 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are present but likely underutilized in this sports title, which does not heavily feature ray tracing or DLSS in the measured data.

The GPU's 72nd percentile ranking among all GPUs understates its capability in Undisputed, where it delivers 307.2 FPS at 1080p Low. The card's performance in this game aligns with its Passmark G3D score of 22,214, indicating consistent behavior across workloads. For players with 1080p or 1440p displays, the RTX 3070 offers ample headroom; only 4K Ultra pushes it beyond its comfort zone.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 5800X, built on TSMC's 7 nm process with 4,150 million transistors, provides 8 cores and 16 threads across a 74 mm² die. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 4.70 GHz, combined with 32 MB of L3 cache, deliver strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23,571 and single-core score of 3,327 indicate it can feed the RTX 3070 effectively in Undisputed.

The benchmark results show the CPU is not the bottleneck in this pairing. At 1080p, where CPU overhead is highest, the combo still achieves 307.2 FPS at Low settings—a figure that suggests the Ryzen 7 5800X's single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 943) is more than sufficient for this game's physics and AI calculations. The 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with rivals like the Intel Core i7-13700H trailing by just 0.4%, confirms the processor's competitiveness.

The CPU's 16 threads provide headroom for background tasks and streaming, though Undisputed likely uses fewer cores. The 105 W TDP and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (51.2 GB/s bandwidth) are standard for this class. The data implies that upgrading to a stronger CPU would not yield meaningful FPS gains in this title, as the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K and even at 1080p Ultra, the 116.1 FPS result is well within the RTX 3070's capabilities.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings average 307.2 FPS, Medium drops to 225.1 FPS, High reaches 183.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 116.1 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 82.1 FPS, while Medium to High costs 41.2 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 67.8 FPS—the largest relative drop occurs between Low and Medium, suggesting a significant visual quality increase at that tier.

At 2560x1440, the results scale down proportionally. Low settings average 225.1 FPS, Medium reaches 161.8 FPS, High achieves 132.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 85 FPS. The gaps between presets narrow slightly compared to 1080p, with Low-to-Medium costing 63.3 FPS and Medium-to-High costing 29.2 FPS. Ultra at 1440p still clears 60 FPS, making it viable for most displays.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limits become apparent. Low settings average 141 FPS, Medium reaches 101.2 FPS, High achieves 85.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 56.2 FPS. The Low-to-Medium gap of 39.8 FPS is the smallest of any resolution, while the High-to-Ultra gap of 29.7 FPS shows that Ultra's demands outpace the GPU's fill rate. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration below 60 FPS, confirming that this combo should avoid maximum settings at 4K for a consistently smooth experience.
