Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, ranking in the top quartile of all tested system configurations. With a combo rank of 895 out of 3718 tested pairings, this setup outperforms roughly 76% of all other combinations in the database for this specific title. The pairing of the 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 processor with the Ada Lovelace GPU creates a balanced platform that consistently delivers high frame rates across all resolution and settings combinations tested.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 895 out of 3718 places it firmly in the upper echelon of tested configurations for Undisputed. This positioning is particularly notable because the individual components themselves sit at the 81st percentile among all CPUs and GPUs respectively, yet their combined performance in this game punches slightly above what those individual metrics might suggest. The Ryzen 7 5800X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 Vermeer architecture, provides strong single-threaded performance that sports titles like Undisputed typically leverage heavily. The processor's Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1574.5 and multi-core score of 15476 indicate robust computational headroom that prevents CPU bottlenecks in most gaming scenarios.

When examining the CPU's nearest rivals, the Ryzen 7 5800X shows remarkably tight competition. The Intel Core Ultra 5 135H scores 29093, a mere 0.1% delta from the 5800X's average benchmark score of 29123. Similarly, the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 sits just 0.4% behind at 29245, while the Intel Core i5-13500HX trails by 0.5% at 29270. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT comes in at 28940, representing a 0.6% gap. This clustering suggests that in Undisputed, where the GPU typically dominates workload, the choice between these closely-matched CPUs would produce minimal frame rate differences.

The RTX 4070 GPU, built on the AD104 chip with Ada Lovelace architecture, demonstrates equally tight competition among its rivals. The NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628, just 0.1% behind the 4070's average of 37648. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 trails by 0.4% at 37507, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile actually leads by 1.3% at 38135. The AMD Radeon PRO W6400 sits 1.3% behind at 37157. These margins highlight that the RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth provide a solid foundation for Undisputed's rendering demands.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data reveals that the Medium preset at any resolution offers the best balance of visual quality and performance headroom. At 1080p, Medium delivers 269 average FPS with a minimum of 229 and maximum of 310, which comfortably exceeds the refresh rate capabilities of virtually all gaming monitors. The High preset at 1080p still achieves 223 FPS, but the Medium setting provides 46 additional frames per second with only a modest visual fidelity reduction.

Moving to 1440p, the Medium preset maintains an excellent 195 average FPS with a minimum of 165 and maximum of 224. This combination ensures that even during intense boxing sequences with multiple characters on screen, frame rates remain well above the 144Hz threshold that many competitive players consider ideal. The High preset at 1440p drops to 161 FPS average, which remains excellent but offers less headroom for demanding in-game moments.

At 4K, the Medium setting delivers 123 average FPS with a minimum of 105 and maximum of 142. This represents the sweet spot for 4K gaming, as the Ultra preset falls to 66 FPS and the High setting achieves 102 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K provides a 21 FPS advantage over High while maintaining smooth gameplay. For players prioritizing maximum frame rates regardless of resolution, the Low preset delivers between 171 and 374 FPS depending on resolution, but the visual compromises likely outweigh the performance gains for most users.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear GPU-bound scenario across all settings. At Low settings, frame rates scale from 374 FPS at 1080p to 271 FPS at 1440p (a 27.5% reduction) and further to 171 FPS at 4K (a 36.9% reduction from 1440p). This dramatic scaling indicates that the RTX 4070 becomes the primary limiting factor as pixel count increases. The Ryzen 7 5800X provides more than enough processing power to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the GPU's rendering throughput constrains performance at higher pixel densities.

The Medium preset shows similar scaling patterns: 269 FPS at 1080p drops to 195 FPS at 1440p (27.5% reduction) and then to 123 FPS at 4K (36.9% reduction from 1440p). This consistent percentage reduction across settings suggests that resolution scaling is primarily dependent on GPU fill rate and memory bandwidth rather than CPU capabilities. The RTX 4070's 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate and 455.4 GTexel/s texture rate directly influence these scaling characteristics.

At High settings, the scaling continues the pattern: 223 FPS at 1080p, 161 FPS at 1440p (27.8% reduction), and 102 FPS at 4K (36.6% reduction from 1440p). The Ultra preset exhibits the most dramatic scaling with 143 FPS at 1080p dropping to 104 FPS at 1440p (27.3% reduction) and then 66 FPS at 4K (36.5% reduction). These consistent percentages across all settings strongly indicate that the GPU is the bottleneck component in this configuration, with the CPU maintaining adequate headroom even at 1080p Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 and Ryzen 7 5800X combination produces exceptional frame rates across all settings. The Low preset achieves an extraordinary 374 average FPS, while Medium delivers 269 FPS with a minimum of 229 and maximum of 310. High settings maintain a strong 223 FPS, and even the demanding Ultra preset produces 143 FPS. These results indicate that at 1080p, players have complete freedom to choose their preferred visual quality level without sacrificing competitive frame rates.

The 2560x1440 resolution shows the configuration's versatility. Low settings reach 271 FPS, Medium provides 195 FPS with a minimum of 165 and maximum of 224, High achieves 161 FPS, and Ultra maintains 104 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 165 FPS is particularly noteworthy, as it ensures consistent performance above the 144Hz refresh rate that many gaming monitors offer. Even the Ultra preset's 104 FPS average provides smooth gameplay for most users.

At 3840x2160, the performance remains impressive despite the increased pixel count. Low settings deliver 171 FPS, Medium achieves 123 FPS with a minimum of 105 and maximum of 142, High produces 102 FPS, and Ultra drops to 66 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K provides the best combination of visual quality and performance, with its minimum of 105 FPS ensuring smooth gameplay throughout. The Ultra preset's 66 FPS average may be acceptable for some players, but the Medium setting offers a more comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070's specifications directly explain its performance characteristics in Undisputed. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 192-bit bus interface provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for all tested settings and resolutions. The memory clock operates at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed, enabling the card to handle the texture and geometry data required by the game's boxing arenas and character models.

The GPU's clock speeds of 1920 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost contribute to its strong performance in this title. With 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operations pipelines, the RTX 4070 delivers substantial compute throughput. The FP32 performance of 29.15 TFLOPS provides ample processing power for the game's physics and rendering calculations. The 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores, while not heavily utilized in a sports title like Undisputed, demonstrate the GPU's forward-looking feature set.

The RTX 4070's nearest rival comparisons show that its average benchmark score of 37648 sits just 0.1% above the NVIDIA Tesla P4's 37628 and 0.4% above the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56's 37507. The RTX 4080 Mobile leads by 1.3% at 38135, while the Radeon PRO W6400 trails by 1.3% at 37157. These tight margins suggest that in Undisputed, the RTX 4070 performs as expected for its position in the GPU hierarchy, with the game's workload characteristics aligning well with the card's strengths.
