Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9070 delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Undisputed, ranging from 62 FPS at 4K Ultra to 353 FPS at 1080p Low. This combination of an eight-core Zen 4 processor and a RDNA 4.0 graphics card shows clear scaling patterns that shift the performance bottleneck depending on resolution and quality preset.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals how Undisputed responds to changes in resolution when driven by this specific CPU-GPU pairing. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 353 FPS at 1920x1080 to 255 FPS at 2560x1440, then further to 161 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 27.8% reduction moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a 36.9% further reduction moving from 1440p to 4K. The total scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low is a 54.4% decrease in average FPS. This substantial drop indicates that even at the lowest quality preset, the GPU is becoming progressively more stressed as pixel count increases, though the absolute numbers remain high.

At Medium settings, the pattern continues with 254 FPS at 1080p, 184 FPS at 1440p, and 116 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 27.6% from 1080p to 1440p and 37.0% from 1440p to 4K. These percentages are remarkably consistent with the Low settings scaling, suggesting that the resolution impact is largely independent of the preset within this range. The minimum FPS values for Medium settings also scale proportionally: 216 at 1080p, 156 at 1440p, and 99 at 4K, with corresponding maximums of 292, 211, and 134.

High settings show 210 FPS at 1080p, 152 FPS at 1440p, and 96 FPS at 4K. The drops are 27.6% and 36.8% respectively, again matching the pattern seen in lower presets. At Ultra settings, the absolute numbers are lower: 135 FPS at 1080p, 98 FPS at 1440p, and 62 FPS at 4K. The percentage decreases are 27.4% from 1080p to 1440p and 36.7% from 1440p to 4K. This consistency across all four presets is notable — the resolution scaling penalty appears to be a fixed multiplicative factor rather than something that varies with quality level.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU plays a more significant role in limiting performance, particularly at Low and Medium settings where frame rates exceed 250 FPS. The Ryzen 7 7700, with its 8 cores and 16 threads boosting up to 5.30 GHz, provides enough single-thread performance to drive these high frame rates. As resolution increases to 1440p and especially 4K, the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor. The RX 9070 with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 256-bit bus width must work harder to fill the additional pixels, which explains the consistent percentage drops regardless of preset.

The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens with resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low (353 FPS) and Ultra (135 FPS) is 218 FPS, a 61.8% reduction. At 4K, the difference is 99 FPS (161 to 62), a 61.5% reduction. This near-constant percentage gap indicates that the performance cost of each quality tier is roughly proportional across resolutions, with Ultra costing about 60% of the frame rate compared to Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo in Undisputed covers four quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) across three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160), yielding twelve distinct data points. Each entry provides an average FPS, with Medium settings also including minimum and maximum FPS values.

Starting at 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 353 FPS. This is the highest frame rate recorded for any configuration in the dataset. The Medium preset at the same resolution averages 254 FPS, with a minimum of 216 FPS and a maximum of 292 FPS. High settings at 1080p produce 210 FPS on average, while Ultra drops to 135 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a steady decline, with each step costing roughly 40-60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 255 FPS, which is actually only 1 FPS higher than the 1080p Medium result. This highlights how resolution scaling affects frame rates. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 184 FPS, with minimum and maximum values of 156 and 211 FPS respectively. High settings at this resolution produce 152 FPS, and Ultra drops to 98 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 157 FPS, which is proportionally similar to the 218 FPS gap seen at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 161 FPS, still comfortably above 60 FPS. Medium averages 116 FPS, with a minimum of 99 FPS and a maximum of 134 FPS. High settings produce 96 FPS, and Ultra drops to 62 FPS, which is the lowest average FPS recorded in the entire dataset. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 99 FPS.

Examining the Medium settings data more closely, which includes min and max values, we can see the frame time consistency. At 1080p, the spread between minimum (216) and maximum (292) is 76 FPS, which is 29.9% of the average. At 1440p, the spread is 55 FPS (156 to 211), representing 29.9% of the average as well. At 4K, the spread is 35 FPS (99 to 134), again 30.2% of the average. This consistency suggests that the frame pacing remains stable regardless of resolution, with the same relative variance.

The data also shows that the Ultra preset at 4K (62 FPS) performs similarly to the High preset at 1440p (152 FPS) in terms of relative load, but the absolute numbers differ significantly. The jump from High to Ultra costs roughly 30-40% of the frame rate across all resolutions, while the jump from Low to Medium costs about 28-30%.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target display resolution and desired frame rate. The game offers four presets, and the data shows clear trade-offs between visual quality and performance.

For 1920x1080 displays, the High preset at 210 FPS appears to be the sweet spot. This provides a high frame rate that exceeds the refresh rate of most monitors while maintaining better visual quality than Medium or Low. The Ultra preset at 135 FPS is also viable, especially for players with 144Hz displays, as it remains above the refresh threshold. The Low preset at 353 FPS offers no practical benefit for most users since the frame rate exceeds what most monitors can display, and the visual quality reduction is substantial.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 152 FPS is recommended for users with high refresh rate monitors. This provides smooth gameplay while maintaining good visual fidelity. The Medium preset at 184 FPS offers an alternative for those prioritizing frame rate, and the Ultra preset at 98 FPS remains above 60 FPS, making it suitable for players with 60Hz displays who want maximum visual quality. The Low preset at 255 FPS is excessive for most 1440p monitors but could benefit competitive players using high refresh rate panels.

For 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 116 FPS provides the best balance of visual quality and performance. It stays well above 60 FPS and delivers a smooth experience. The High preset at 96 FPS is also acceptable and offers improved visuals. The Ultra preset at 62 FPS barely exceeds 60 FPS, which may lead to occasional frame dips in intense moments, but it remains playable. The Low preset at 161 FPS is the best choice for players with 144Hz 4K displays, though this is a rare configuration.

The Medium preset's minimum FPS values are worth noting: 216 at 1080p, 156 at 1440p, and 99 at 4K. These minimums indicate that even during demanding scenes, the frame rate stays well above 60 FPS at all resolutions. This makes Medium a safe choice for players who prioritize consistent performance over maximum visual quality.

The 3DMark results show scaling from 2043 in the 2-thread test to 8484 in the 16-thread test, indicating good multi-threading efficiency. The PassMark multi-thread score of 34470 further confirms this capability.

For Undisputed, the CPU's role is most significant at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 250 FPS. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 353 FPS, which requires the CPU to feed the GPU with enough draw calls and physics calculations. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample parallel processing capacity, while the 5.30 GHz boost clock ensures strong single-thread performance for game logic that may not be fully parallelized.

The CPU's L3 cache of 32 MB shared across all cores helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for gaming workloads. The 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process, contribute to the processor's efficiency. The 87th percentile ranking against all CPUs suggests that the 7700 is well above average in overall processing capability, making it a solid match for a mid-to-high-end GPU like the RX 9070.

At higher resolutions, the CPU's importance diminishes as the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The consistent percentage scaling from 1080p to 4K across all presets indicates that the CPU is not introducing variable overhead that would distort the resolution scaling pattern. This suggests that the Ryzen 7 7700 provides sufficient headroom to avoid becoming a limiting factor in Undisputed, even at 1080p with high frame rates.
