Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a high-refresh-rate experience in Undisputed, with benchmark data showing the combination ranking 429th out of 1,580 tested combos for this title. This places the setup in the top third of all configurations, a position driven by the CPU's large cache and the GPU's substantial compute resources. The measured frame rates across resolutions and settings reveal a system that is consistently capable, though the performance scaling patterns highlight where each component exerts its influence.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data shows a clear and predictable decline as resolution increases, but the magnitude of that drop reveals the bottleneck hierarchy. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 373.2 FPS; stepping up to 1440p Low drops that to 273.4 FPS, a reduction of roughly 27%. Moving to 4K Low yields 170.9 FPS, another 37% decrease from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-limited scenario at lower settings, where the graphics card's rendering workload grows faster than the CPU's ability to feed it frames.

The gap between resolutions narrows considerably at higher settings, which further confirms the GPU is the primary limiter. At Ultra settings, the frame rate goes from 140.8 FPS at 1080p to 101.7 FPS at 1440p (a 28% drop) and then to 68.5 FPS at 4K (a 33% drop from 1440p). The consistent percentage losses across settings suggest that the RTX 4070 is being tasked heavily at every resolution, with the Ryzen 7 5800X3D providing enough headroom to avoid becoming the restricting factor until frame rates climb very high.

The most telling indicator is the difference between Low and Ultra at the same resolution. At 1080p, the gap is 232.4 FPS (373.2 vs 140.8), while at 4K, the gap shrinks to 102.4 FPS (170.9 vs 68.5). This compression of the settings delta at higher resolutions is classic GPU-bound behavior — the card's fill rate and memory bandwidth become the ceiling, and CPU-side optimizations from lower settings matter less. The data indicates that for competitive play at 1080p, the CPU's 96 MB of L3 cache helps sustain very high frame rates, but at 4K, the RTX 4070's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are what define the experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is built on the Zen 3 architecture with a 7 nm process, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz boosts up to 4.50 GHz, but the defining characteristic is the 96 MB of shared L3 cache, which is far larger than typical desktop processors. This cache configuration is designed to reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for simulation-heavy games like sports titles that require frequent state updates.

Benchmark results show the CPU's strength in both single-threaded and multithreaded workloads. The 3DMark single-thread score of 884 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3,397 are respectable, but the multithreaded results are more impressive: Cinebench R23 multicore hits 24,063, and Geekbench multicore reaches 11,061. These scores indicate that the processor can handle the game's logic thread while leaving ample headroom for background tasks.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 200 FPS at High and Medium settings. At these levels, the GPU is not fully saturated, and the CPU must deliver frames quickly. The 5800X3D's 3DMark 16-thread score of 7,299 and max-thread score of 7,285 show consistent scaling across core counts, ensuring that the game's multi-threaded physics and AI routines do not become a bottleneck. The processor's 105 W TDP and DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this workload, as evidenced by the measured FPS staying high even at lower resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process, featuring 5,888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units. Its clock speeds are 1,920 MHz base and 2,475 MHz boost, with memory running at 1,313 MHz effective at 21 Gbps. The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is crucial for high-resolution textures in Undisputed.

The GPU's benchmark scores show strong compute performance: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 3,854, and the Geekbench OpenCL score is 168,006. The Passmark G3D score of 26,927 and Passmark GPU Compute score of 14,720 further confirm its capabilities. In the game, the GPU's role is dominant at 4K, where the frame rates drop from 170.9 FPS at Low to 68.5 FPS at Ultra, a 60% reduction. This steep decline is typical of a card that has enough raw power for high refresh rates at lower settings but becomes strained by the added pixel work and shading complexity at Ultra.

The RTX 4070's 46 ray-tracing cores and 184 tensor cores support advanced effects, though the measured FPS data does not specify whether these features were enabled. The card's 200 W TDP and dual-slot design are moderate for its performance class, and its 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate and 455.4 GTexel/s texture rate allow it to handle the game's character models and arena environments efficiently. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s proves sufficient for 4K Medium at 121.6 FPS, suggesting that the card is well-balanced for this title's demands.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The dataset provides 12 measured average FPS values across four resolutions and four settings levels. At 1920x1080, the performance ranges from 373.2 FPS at Low to 140.8 FPS at Ultra, with High at 225.5 FPS and Medium at 268.3 FPS. These figures place the combo firmly in high-refresh territory, even at Ultra settings, which is notable for a sports title that may prioritize visual fidelity.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong: Low hits 273.4 FPS, Medium reaches 195.7 FPS, High achieves 163.5 FPS, and Ultra settles at 101.7 FPS. The 1440p results are particularly relevant for gamers with 1440p monitors, as High and Medium settings both exceed 144 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay without needing to compromise heavily on visuals.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops more significantly. Low produces 170.9 FPS, Medium delivers 121.6 FPS, High manages 99.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 68.5 FPS. The 4K High result of 99.5 FPS is just under the 100 FPS mark, which may disappoint users expecting a locked 100+ FPS experience, but the Medium setting at 121.6 FPS offers a solid alternative. The data shows that this combo is most effective at 1080p and 1440p, where it can leverage the CPU's cache and the GPU's bandwidth to maintain high frame rates, while 4K requires a reduction in settings to achieve competitive performance.
