Comparing the 7700 to its nearest rivals, the deltaPct values are remarkably tight. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40431, a 0.1% difference, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T is 1.2% behind. This narrow margin means that in Undisputed, the CPU choice between these parts would yield nearly identical frame rates. The 7700’s 91st percentile ranking places it in the top tier for gaming, and the data supports this, as even at 4K Ultra, the combo manages 39.3 FPS, a playable albeit not ideal figure. The CPU’s role is to maintain a minimum frame rate floor, and the measurements show it does so effectively, with the 1080p Ultra preset reaching 90.2 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, provides a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. This is a critical spec for Undisputed, as the game’s high-resolution textures and detailed character models require substantial memory throughput. The boost clock of 1665 MHz, while not the fastest in the 30-series lineup, is sufficient to render the boxing arenas at playable rates. The GPU’s 69th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25120, places it in the mid-high range, and the measured FPS reflects this positioning.

At 1080p, the GPU is the primary driver of performance, with the Low preset hitting 228.9 FPS and High reaching 136.6 FPS. The gap between Low and High at this resolution is 92.3 FPS, showing that the GPU has headroom to handle increased graphical fidelity. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 90.2 FPS, a 60.5% reduction from Low, indicating that the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and 4864 shading units are being stressed by the highest settings. The RTX 3060 Ti’s nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 6700M, scores 25180, a 0.2% difference, while the AMD Radeon 890M is 0.5% behind, confirming that this GPU is competitive within its class.

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

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of scaling as resolution increases. At the High preset, the frame rate drops from 136.6 FPS at 1080p to 100.1 FPS at 1440p, a 26.7% decrease, and then to 61.7 FPS at 4K, a 54.8% decrease from 1080p. This scaling is not linear, as the drop from 1440p to 4K is 38.4%, while the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 26.7%. This indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more limited as resolution increases, with the 4K workload taxing the 8 GB VRAM and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth to their limits.

At the Low preset, the scaling is even more pronounced. The frame rate drops from 228.9 FPS at 1080p to 165.1 FPS at 1440p, a 27.9% decrease, and then to 104.2 FPS at 4K, a 54.5% decrease from 1080p. The similarity in percentage drops between Low and High presets suggests that the resolution scaling is primarily a function of the GPU’s pixel throughput, not the graphical settings. This is a strong indicator that the RTX 3060 Ti is the limiting component at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s performance remains constant regardless of resolution.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with a drop from 90.2 FPS at 1080p to 63.6 FPS at 1440p, a 29.5% decrease, and then to 39.3 FPS at 4K, a 56.4% decrease from 1080p. The 4K Ultra result of 39.3 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold, confirming that the GPU is overwhelmed by the combination of high resolution and maximum settings. The data suggests that for this combo, 1080p and 1440p are the sweet spots, with 4K only viable at High settings or lower. The scaling pattern also indicates that the CPU has sufficient headroom, as the frame rate drops are consistent with GPU-bound scenarios. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates would not scale as dramatically with resolution, as the CPU workload does not increase proportionally with pixel count. Therefore, the analysis concludes that the RTX 3060 Ti is the primary bottleneck at 4K, while the Ryzen 7 7700 provides ample support at lower resolutions.
