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

The data shows a clear and expected pattern: as resolution climbs from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, average frame rates drop substantially across every setting tier. At Low settings, the combo delivers 209 FPS at 1080p, falls to 151 FPS at 1440p, and settles at 95 FPS at 4K. That represents a 54.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is a steep decline but still leaves the game comfortably playable at 4K Low.

The Medium preset tells a similar story with slightly lower absolute numbers: 150 FPS at 1080p, 109 FPS at 1440p, and 69 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 41 FPS, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 40 FPS — nearly identical increments, suggesting a linear scaling behavior that points to the GPU as the primary bottleneck as pixel count rises. For High settings, the pattern continues: 124 FPS at 1080p, 90 FPS at 1440p, and 57 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result dips below the 60 FPS threshold, which is a meaningful milestone for smooth gameplay in a sports title.

Ultra settings are where the scaling becomes punishing. At 1080p Ultra, the combo manages 80 FPS, which drops to 58 FPS at 1440p, and then plummets to 37 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is barely half of the 1080p Ultra figure, and it falls well below playable standards for most users. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 58 FPS (95 vs. 37), while at 1080p that same gap is 129 FPS (209 vs. 80). This compression of the settings range at higher resolutions is a classic sign that the GPU is running out of pixel throughput headroom.

The limiting component is clearly the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 with 8 cores and 16 threads is more than capable of feeding frames at 1080p, as evidenced by the 209 FPS Low result. But as resolution increases, the GPU's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus width become the constraining factors. The 4K Ultra result of 37 FPS is the clearest evidence: even a strong CPU cannot compensate for the GPU's inability to process 8.3 million pixels per frame at high quality settings.

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

The RTX 2060 operates with a base clock of 1365 MHz and a boost clock of 1680 MHz, built on the 12 nm Turing architecture with the TU106 chip. Its memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across a 192-bit bus, yielding 336.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The 6 GB frame buffer is the most likely culprit for the Ultra preset performance degradation, particularly at 1440p and 4K where texture and geometry data requirements exceed what 6 GB can comfortably hold.

The GPU's 1920 shading units and 48 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 80.64 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 201.6 GTexel/s. These figures explain why 1080p performance is strong — at that resolution, the pixel throughput is sufficient to maintain high frame rates even at Medium and High settings. The FP32 compute of 6.451 TFLOPS is modest by modern standards, which aligns with the observed scaling curve: the card is not brute-force powerful, but it is well-balanced for 1080p and acceptable for 1440p in this title.

The 30 RT cores and 240 tensor cores are present but largely irrelevant for a sports game like Undisputed, which does not rely heavily on ray tracing or DLSS features in these measurements. The memory bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s is the key specification that governs 4K behavior. At 4K Ultra, the 37 FPS result suggests the GPU is starved for memory bandwidth and capacity simultaneously, forcing constant data swapping that tanks throughput.

The GPU's benchmark scores contextualize its position. It scores 14111 in Passmark G3D and 1242 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (avg score 15283, delta 0%), AMD Radeon 680M (15270, delta 0.1%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (15199, delta 0.6%), and AMD Radeon RX 7600 (15171, delta 0.8%). The RTX 2060 sits essentially tied with these products, which are all within 0.8% of its average benchmark score of 15290. This means the observed Undisputed performance is representative of a mid-range GPU tier, not an outlier.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the database of tested combinations, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 ranks 2933 out of 3718 total combos for Undisputed. That places it in the 21st percentile of all tested systems — meaning roughly 79% of tested combos deliver higher average frame rates in this game. This is a low rank, but it must be interpreted carefully: the rank reflects the GPU's position more than the CPU's capability.

The Ryzen 7 7700 is a high-end processor in its own right, sitting in the 87th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 40081. Its nearest CPU rivals are the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (avg score 40048, delta 0.1%), Intel Core 5 221E (40144, delta -0.2%), AMD Ryzen 9 270 (40246, delta -0.4%), and Intel Core i9-13905H (40313, delta -0.6%). All of these are within 0.6% of the Ryzen 7 7700's score, indicating a tightly grouped set of high-performance processors.

The combo rank of 2933 out of 3718 is therefore a GPU-limited result. If the same CPU were paired with a stronger GPU, the rank would rise dramatically. The data shows that the Ryzen 7 7700 has the compute headroom (Cinebench R23 multicore of 18760, singlecore of 1930) to drive much higher frame rates than the RTX 2060 can deliver at higher resolutions. The combination's rank is a reflection of the GPU's 58th percentile standing, not the CPU's 87th percentile standing.

This rank disparity is important for anyone considering an upgrade path. The CPU is not the bottleneck; the GPU is. Swapping the RTX 2060 for a higher-tier card would move the combo up the ranks significantly, while keeping the same CPU. Conversely, upgrading the CPU alone would yield negligible gains in Undisputed, as the GPU would still cap performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results across all settings. Low settings produce 209 FPS average, which is exceptionally high and indicates the CPU is not limiting at this resolution. Medium settings yield 150 FPS average with a minimum of 128 FPS and a maximum of 173 FPS — the only measured FPS range in the dataset. High settings drop to 124 FPS average, still well above any playability threshold. Ultra settings bring the average down to 80 FPS, which is playable but shows the GPU starting to strain with maximum quality effects.

At 2560x1440, the results remain strong but show clear GPU pressure. Low settings deliver 151 FPS average, a 58 FPS drop from 1080p. Medium settings produce 109 FPS average (min 92, max 125), which is still smooth for a sports title. High settings average 90 FPS, and Ultra drops to 58 FPS — just below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider the minimum for competitive play. The 1440p Ultra result is exactly half of the 1080p Low result, demonstrating the cost of higher resolution and quality simultaneously.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint. Low settings average 95 FPS, which is respectable but shows a 114 FPS drop from 1080p Low. Medium settings average 69 FPS (min 58, max 79), which is borderline playable. High settings average 57 FPS, dipping below 60. Ultra settings average 37 FPS, which is generally considered unplayable for a fast-paced sports game. The 4K Ultra result is 43 FPS lower than the 1080p Ultra result, and 58 FPS lower than the 4K Low result.

The full matrix reveals that Medium settings at 1440p (109 FPS) outpace High settings at 4K (57 FPS), and Low settings at 4K (95 FPS) nearly match High settings at 1440p (90 FPS). This suggests that users targeting 4K should prioritize Low or Medium settings, while 1440p users can comfortably run High or even Ultra if they accept 58 FPS. The data does not include minimum or maximum FPS for most settings, only for Medium across all three resolutions, so variance analysis is limited to those three data points.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a Zen 4 architecture processor built on TSMC's 5 nm process, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The CPU supports DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, offering 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

The CPU's benchmark scores demonstrate substantial compute capability. It achieves 18760 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 1930 in singlecore. In Geekbench, it scores 15371 multicore and 2525 singlecore. The 3DMark results show strong scaling from 2 threads (2043) to 8 threads (6933) to max threads (8479), indicating good thread utilization. Passmark scores are equally robust: 34470 multithread, 4063 singlethread, and 110295 in integer math.

For Undisputed, a sports game that typically relies more on GPU rendering than CPU physics, the Ryzen 7 7700 is overqualified. The 1080p Low result of 209 FPS is the clearest evidence: this frame rate is far beyond what the GPU can sustain at higher resolutions, and it demonstrates that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. Even at 1080p Ultra (80 FPS), the CPU is likely still not maxed out, as the GPU's shading units and memory bandwidth are the more likely constraints.

The CPU's 87th percentile ranking versus all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40081, places it among the top tier of desktop processors. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.6% of its score, indicating that the Ryzen 7 7700 is not an outlier but rather a solid member of the high-performance segment. For Undisputed specifically, this means the CPU can handle any frame rate the RTX 2060 can produce, and it would not bottleneck a significantly faster GPU if the user chose to upgrade.

The 65 W TDP and 5 nm process node indicate high efficiency, but these are not directly reflected in the FPS data. What matters for this game is that the 8-core, 16-thread configuration provides ample headroom for background tasks and any CPU-side game logic, while the 5.30 GHz boost clock ensures responsive single-threaded performance for game thread execution.
