Undisputed

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER sits at rank 1127 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. That places this combination in a decidedly mid-pack position, roughly in the 29th percentile of all tested configurations. The ranking reflects a fundamental imbalance: the CPU is a top-tier performer while the GPU is a veteran mid-range part, and the game's demands skew heavily toward the graphics card.

Benchmark results indicate that this combo's overall standing is dragged down by the GPU's relative age. The RTX 2060 SUPER's average benchmark score of 19774 puts it ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN by 0.3% and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 by 0.5%, but those are narrow margins. In contrast, the Ryzen 7 7700's average score of 40468 is within 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, 0.5% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, and 1.2% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T. The CPU is not the bottleneck in this pairing; the GPU is clearly the limiting factor.

The rank of 1127 out of 1580 suggests that most better-performing combos feature newer or higher-tier graphics cards. However, the measured frame rates tell a more nuanced story. At 1080p and 1440p, this combo delivers playable to excellent performance across most settings. The 4K results are more mixed, with only Low settings achieving triple-digit frame rates. The data shows a configuration that can handle competitive online play at high refresh rates on 1080p and 1440p displays, but struggles to maintain smooth 4K experiences at higher quality presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 brings substantial processing power to this combination. It features 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, and it carries a 65 W TDP. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for game logic and physics calculations.

In Undisputed, a sports title, the CPU's role is primarily managing match simulation, AI opponent behavior, and the continuous physics calculations for fighter movement and impact. The single-thread performance is strong, as evidenced by a 3dmark single-thread score of 1049 and a passmark single-thread score of 4063. The multi-threaded capabilities are equally impressive, with a 3dmark 16-thread score of 8484 and a cinebench r23 multicore score of 29302.

The CPU's benchmark percentile of 91 means it outperforms 91% of all CPUs in the database. This is a processor that will not hold back the GPU in most scenarios. The data indicates that the Ryzen 7 7700 is more than capable of feeding frames to the RTX 2060 SUPER, even at lower resolutions where CPU overhead is more pronounced. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration ensures that background tasks and streaming won't create stutter-inducing bottlenecks.

FAQ

Q: Is the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 a bottleneck for the RTX 2060 SUPER in Undisputed?

A: No. The CPU's average benchmark score of 40468 places it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU sits in the 63rd percentile. The measured FPS scales predictably with resolution, indicating the GPU is the primary constraint, especially at higher resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four quality settings, providing a clear picture of this combo's capabilities. At 1920x1080, the performance is strong across the board. Low settings produce 231.6 FPS average, Medium drops to 163.7 FPS, High delivers 138.8 FPS, and Ultra maintains 86.2 FPS. These numbers indicate that the combo can drive 144Hz monitors at Medium or High settings, and even Ultra remains above 60 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain respectable. Low settings yield 167.8 FPS, Medium drops to 119.5 FPS, High achieves 101.8 FPS, and Ultra falls to 60.7 FPS. The 1440p results show that Ultra is just barely above the 60 FPS threshold, while High and Medium offer comfortable margins for smooth gameplay. Low settings at 1440p still provide enough headroom for high-refresh-rate displays.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become evident. Low settings produce 105.2 FPS, which is still playable, but Medium drops to 76 FPS, High falls to 61 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 40.9 FPS. The 4K results demonstrate a steep performance cliff between Medium and High, and Ultra becomes difficult to play smoothly. The data shows that 4K gaming is feasible only at Low or Medium settings with this combo.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck lies. At Low settings, the FPS goes from 231.6 at 1080p to 167.8 at 1440p and 105.2 at 4K. That represents a 27.5% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 37.3% further drop from 1440p to 4K. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the increasing pixel count directly impacts rendering load.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is even more dramatic: 86.2 FPS at 1080p, 60.7 FPS at 1440p, and 40.9 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 29.6%, and from 1440p to 4K is 32.6%. This consistent degradation across quality settings confirms that the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting component. The CPU's strong single-thread and multi-thread scores are not the constraining factor, as the FPS scales predictably with resolution rather than showing CPU-bound plateaus.

The data suggests that for 1080p and 1440p gaming, the combo is well-balanced, but at 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Players seeking 4K performance would need a more powerful GPU, while the CPU would remain sufficient.

Settings Recommendations

The optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p gaming, High settings at 138.8 FPS provide the best balance of visual quality and performance, comfortably exceeding 120 Hz refresh rates. Players with 144Hz monitors could also consider Medium at 163.7 FPS for additional headroom. Ultra at 86.2 FPS is viable for those prioritizing visual fidelity over frame rate.

At 1440p, High settings at 101.8 FPS represent the sweet spot for most players, offering smooth gameplay above 100 FPS. Medium at 119.5 FPS provides extra margin for competitive play, while Ultra at 60.7 FPS is playable but leaves little room for frame-time spikes. Low at 167.8 FPS is suitable for esports-focused players with high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors.

At 4K, the recommendations become more constrained. Low settings at 105.2 FPS are the only preset that provides a consistently smooth experience. Medium at 76 FPS is acceptable for slower-paced gameplay, but High at 61 FPS is borderline and Ultra at 40.9 FPS should be avoided for competitive play. The data indicates that 4K players should stick with Low or Medium settings to maintain playable frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is the defining component in this combo's performance profile. Based on the TU106 chip on TSMC's 12 nm process, it features 2176 shading units, 136 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1470 MHz with a boost clock of 1650 MHz, and its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 1750 MHz with a 256-bit bus, providing 448.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

The GPU's benchmark results show it performing at 16462 in passmark g3d and 2011 in 3dmark steel nomad dx12. Its percentile rank of 63 places it above the median of all GPUs, but well below the top tier. The nearest rivals are all older NVIDIA parts: the GTX TITAN, RTX 2070, Quadro K5200, and Tesla K40m, all within 1.3% of its average score. This indicates that the RTX 2060 SUPER is functionally equivalent to an RTX 2070 in this game's workload.

The GPU's 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 224.4 GTexel/s texture rate are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming at high settings, but the 4K results show its limitations. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is adequate for Undisputed at all tested settings, as the game does not appear to exceed this limit based on the measured performance. The GPU's 175 W TDP and dual-slot design are typical for this class, and the 450 W suggested PSU provides adequate power headroom for the entire system.
