Undisputed

# How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti lands at rank 1326 out of 3718 tested combinations in Undisputed. That places this build in the upper-middle tier of all recorded systems, roughly in the 64th percentile of combos. It's not a top-100 contender, but it is comfortably ahead of the median machine, which matters for a boxing sim where smooth, sustained frame pacing is more important than raw peak output.

The CPU itself sits at the 87th percentile among all processors tested, while the GPU holds the 75th percentile among all graphics cards. That gap—CPU stronger than GPU—shows up in the frame data: at 1080p and even 1440p, the RTX 3070 Ti becomes the limiting factor well before the Ryzen 7 7700 breaks a sweat. The combo's rank reflects that balance; it's a system built around a capable mid-range GPU with a CPU that has headroom to spare.

Benchmark averages reinforce the picture. The Ryzen 7 7700 posts an average benchmark score of 40081, with nearest rivals like the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (40048, +0.1%) and Intel Core 5 221E (40144, -0.2%) essentially trading blows. The RTX 3070 Ti averages 29945, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (29928, +0.1%) and AMD Radeon RX 6800 (30095, -0.5%) sitting right next to it. Neither component is an outlier; both are solid, predictable performers.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows give a clear hierarchy for Undisputed. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 323 FPS average, Medium hits 233 FPS, High reaches 193 FPS, and Ultra drops to 124 FPS. At 1440p, the same progression yields 234 FPS on Low, 168 FPS on Medium, 139 FPS on High, and 90 FPS on Ultra. At 4K, the numbers compress: 148 FPS on Low, 106 FPS on Medium, 88 FPS on High, and 57 FPS on Ultra.

For a game like Undisputed, where the camera stays close to the action and the ring environment is relatively static, the sweet spot is High at 1440p. That setting delivers 139 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay and leaves enough overhead for recording or streaming. The Medium preset at 1440p, at 168 FPS, is arguably even better if you want to maximize refresh-rate headroom on a 144Hz monitor, but the visual jump from Medium to High in this title is noticeable in the crowd detail and fighter skin textures.

At 4K, the recommendation changes. High at 4K produces 88 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a fast-paced reflex-based sport. Medium at 4K, at 106 FPS, is the better balance—it keeps the frame rate comfortably above 100 while still looking significantly better than Low. Ultra at any resolution is a trap: 57 FPS at 4K, 90 FPS at 1440p, and 124 FPS at 1080p are all playable, but the visual gains over High are marginal and the performance cost is steep. For most users, High at 1440p or Medium at 4K is where this combo should live.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a GPU-bound system. At High settings, the average frame rate goes from 193 FPS at 1080p to 139 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 88 FPS at 4K (a 54% reduction from 1080p). The scaling is roughly linear with pixel count, which is exactly what you expect when the GPU is the bottleneck.

At Low settings, the same pattern holds: 323 FPS at 1080p, 234 FPS at 1440p, and 148 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 54%, nearly identical to the High preset's 54% decline. This consistency is telling—even when the graphics load is minimal, the RTX 3070 Ti's pixel-pushing capability is the ceiling. The Ryzen 7 7700's eight cores and 16 threads are never the limiting factor, even at 1080p Low where the CPU has to feed frames as fast as possible.

The Ultra preset shows a slightly steeper decline: 124 FPS at 1080p, 90 FPS at 1440p, and 57 FPS at 4K, a 54% drop from 1080p to 4K as well. Across all four presets, the percentage loss from 1080p to 4K stays in the 53-55% range, confirming that resolution scaling is the dominant variable. If the CPU were the constraint, you'd expect the 1080p numbers to plateau or the 4K numbers to hold up better relative to 1440p. Neither happens.

The 4K Medium preset, with a 106 FPS average and a 90 FPS minimum, is the only 4K option that stays above 100 FPS on average. That's a useful data point for anyone with a 4K display: you can play at 4K with this combo, but you need to dial settings down to Medium to keep the frame rate respectable. For 1440p users, High at 139 FPS is the clear choice.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 3070 Ti shows its strength. The Low preset averages 323 FPS, with Medium at 233 FPS (minimum 198, maximum 268), High at 193 FPS, and Ultra at 124 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 199 FPS, a 61% reduction, which shows how heavily the Ultra preset taxes the GPU in this title. Even at Ultra, the 124 FPS average is above the 120 Hz mark, so 1080p gamers on high-refresh monitors have options across the board.

At 2560x1440, the numbers stay strong. Low produces 234 FPS, Medium delivers 168 FPS (minimum 143, maximum 193), High hits 139 FPS, and Ultra drops to 90 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 143 FPS is particularly noteworthy—it means even in the most demanding moments, the frame rate never dips below 143, which is right at the edge of a 144Hz display's refresh rate. High at 139 FPS average is also smooth, but the minimum isn't recorded in the data, so you can't guarantee it stays above 120.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limits become apparent. Low averages 148 FPS, Medium hits 106 FPS (minimum 90, maximum 122), High reaches 88 FPS, and Ultra falls to 57 FPS. The Medium preset's 90 FPS minimum is the lowest recorded in the entire dataset, and it's still above 60, but it shows that 4K gaming with this combo requires compromise. The 57 FPS Ultra result at 4K is the only sub-60 average in the entire measured set, making it the one setting you should avoid unless you're willing to accept occasional dips below 60.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset is the only one with min/max data recorded, which suggests it's the most stable configuration. The 1080p Medium range (198-268) spans 70 FPS, the 1440p Medium range (143-193) spans 50 FPS, and the 4K Medium range (90-122) spans 32 FPS. The narrowing range at higher resolutions reflects the GPU working closer to its limit, which reduces frame-time variance.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Undisputed?

A: 1440p is the sweet spot. At High settings, the combo delivers 139 FPS average, which is well above 60 FPS and close to 144Hz territory. At 4K, you'd need to drop to Medium to stay above 100 FPS, and at 1080p, the GPU has so much headroom that the extra resolution is wasted.

Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 4K?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At Medium settings, the average FPS is 106 with a 90 FPS minimum, so it's playable. At High, it drops to 88 FPS, and at Ultra, it falls to 57 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. For a consistent 60+ FPS experience at 4K, stick with Medium.

A: The recorded minimum is 143 FPS, with an average of 168 FPS and a maximum of 193 FPS. That 143 FPS floor means you can run a 144Hz monitor without ever dropping below its refresh rate, making this the most stable high-refresh configuration in the dataset.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael) using a 5 nm process from TSMC. It runs at a 3.80 GHz base clock and boosts to 5.30 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The chip supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache, along with 1 MB of L2 per core and 64 KB of L1 per core, gives it plenty of on-die storage for game data.

In Undisputed, the CPU's workload is modest. The game's ring-based combat doesn't require massive physics simulation or complex AI pathfinding, so the 8 cores are more than sufficient. The 3dmark scores tell the story: 8484 in the 16-thread test, 6933 in the 8-thread test, and 2043 in the 2-thread test. The single-thread score of 1049 and the 2-thread score of 2043 show that even lightly threaded workloads scale well, which matters for a game that may not fully utilize all 16 threads.

Cinebench results reinforce the processor's strength: 18760 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1930 in single-core. The multi-core figure is nearly 10x the single-core score, which indicates excellent scaling across the 8 cores. In a game like Undisputed, where frame times are more important than raw throughput, the Ryzen 7 7700's consistent per-core performance ensures the GPU never waits for the CPU to deliver draw calls.

The CPU's 87th percentile ranking among all tested processors means it outperforms 87% of CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365, is just 0.1% behind in average score, and the Intel Core i9-13905H is 0.6% ahead. This is a mid-to-high-end desktop chip that punches above its class in gaming scenarios, and the 5.30 GHz boost clock ensures it can handle the occasional single-threaded bottleneck in older games or poorly optimized titles.

The Geekbench scores—15371 multi-core and 2525 single-core—further confirm the processor's balance. For Undisputed specifically, the CPU's role is to maintain a steady frame delivery pipeline. With the GPU maxing out at 323 FPS at 1080p Low, the Ryzen 7 7700's 8 cores are never the limiting factor. Even at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate drops to 57 FPS, the CPU has ample headroom to keep up with the GPU's output. The data shows a system where the CPU is overqualified for the task, which is exactly what you want for a game that rewards consistent, low-latency performance.
