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

The measured FPS data for Undisputed reveals a clear and consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, this combo produces 357.8 FPS, which drops to 257.4 FPS at 1440p and further to 164.3 FPS at 4K. That represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and another 36% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear — the performance penalty accelerates as pixel count grows.

Looking at the Ultra preset, the same pattern holds but with a steeper overall decline. The combo delivers 136.2 FPS at 1080p, 98.6 FPS at 1440p, and 60.5 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K here is 38.6%, which is slightly larger than the Low preset's 36% drop over the same range. This suggests that the Ultra preset's additional graphical effects amplify the resolution burden on the GPU.

The High preset tells an interesting story. At 1080p it reaches 216.9 FPS, at 1440p it hits 157.8 FPS, and at 4K it maintains 98.4 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is a 27.3% reduction, while from 1440p to 4K it is 37.6%. Medium settings follow a similar trajectory: 260.4 FPS at 1080p, 186.5 FPS at 1440p, and 119.7 FPS at 4K.

The fact that even at 4K with Ultra settings the combo still produces 60.5 FPS indicates that the GeForce RTX 3080 is the dominant component in this pairing for this title. The Ryzen 7 7700's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 1049 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4136, ensures that CPU-side bottlenecks are minimal even at high frame rates. The data shows that the GPU is the limiting factor, particularly at higher resolutions where pixel throughput demands increase.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance on which preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. At 1080p, every preset exceeds 136 FPS, meaning even Ultra is viable for high-refresh-rate displays. The jump from High to Ultra at 1080p costs 80.7 FPS (from 216.9 to 136.2), which is substantial, but the resulting 136.2 FPS remains smooth.

At 1440p, the picture becomes more nuanced. High settings deliver 157.8 FPS, which is excellent for most monitors. Medium settings push this to 186.5 FPS, while Ultra drops to 98.6 FPS. For players with 144Hz displays, High is the recommended preset, as it provides a comfortable margin above the refresh rate. Ultra at 1440p still delivers playable performance but sacrifices the headroom needed for consistent 144 FPS.

At 4K, the choices narrow considerably. Ultra settings produce 60.5 FPS, which is playable but leaves no room for frame rate dips. High settings at 4K deliver 98.4 FPS, offering a much safer buffer. Medium settings reach 119.7 FPS, which is ideal for 120Hz displays. Low settings at 4K hit 164.3 FPS, which is overkill for most 4K monitors but demonstrates the GPU's capability.

The data suggests that High is the sweet spot across all resolutions. It provides strong visual quality while maintaining high frame rates: 216.9 FPS at 1080p, 157.8 FPS at 1440p, and 98.4 FPS at 4K. For competitive play, Low settings unlock the highest frame rates, reaching 357.8 FPS at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured dataset covers three resolutions and four settings presets, totaling twelve distinct configurations. At 1920x1080, Low settings produce 357.8 FPS, Medium produces 260.4 FPS, High produces 216.9 FPS, and Ultra produces 136.2 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 221.6 FPS, demonstrating the significant performance cost of the Ultra preset.

At 2560x1440, Low settings deliver 257.4 FPS, Medium delivers 186.5 FPS, High delivers 157.8 FPS, and Ultra delivers 98.6 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows an average reduction of approximately 28% across all presets. The Ultra preset experiences the largest absolute drop of 37.6 FPS when moving from 1080p to 1440p.

At 3840x2160, Low settings achieve 164.3 FPS, Medium achieves 119.7 FPS, High achieves 98.4 FPS, and Ultra achieves 60.5 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K costs an average of 37% across presets. The Ultra preset's 60.5 FPS at 4K is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS mark by a slim margin, sitting just above it.

The data reveals that the gap between Medium and High is consistently smaller than the gap between High and Ultra. At 1080p, the Medium-to-High difference is 43.5 FPS, while the High-to-Ultra difference is 80.7 FPS. This pattern holds at 1440p (28.7 FPS vs 59.2 FPS) and at 4K (21.3 FPS vs 37.9 FPS). This suggests that Ultra settings impose a disproportionately heavy load compared to High.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA102 chip manufactured on Samsung's 8 nm process. It contains 28,300 million transistors on a 628 mm² die, with 8704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation pipelines. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1440 MHz and a boost clock of 1710 MHz, with memory running at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective).

The 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus provides 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves adequate for Undisputed at all tested resolutions, as even the heaviest 4K Ultra preset maintains 60.5 FPS without signs of memory-related stuttering. The GPU's 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores indicate ray tracing and DLSS capabilities, though the measured data does not include those features.

The RTX 3080's benchmark results show a Passmark G3D score of 25086 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4407. Its average benchmark score of 35787 places it at the 80th percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rival, the AMD Radeon Pro Duo, scores 35860, which is 0.2% higher, while the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE scores 36101, 0.9% higher. These margins are small enough to be considered negligible in real-world gaming.

The GPU's pixel rate of 164.2 GPixel/s and texture rate of 465.1 GTexel/s directly influence the resolution scaling observed in the measured FPS data. As resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, the pixel throughput requirement quadruples, and the RTX 3080's performance drops accordingly. The FP32 compute of 29.77 TFLOPS provides robust shading capability, which explains why the GPU can still manage 164.3 FPS at 4K Low settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is a Zen 4 architecture processor codenamed Raphael, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. It features 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The CPU supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration and a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, along with 32 MB of shared L3 cache.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate strong single-threaded performance, which is critical for gaming workloads. The 3dmark_single_thread score of 1049 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4136 place it well above average. Multi-threaded performance is equally impressive, with Cinebench R23 multi-core scoring 29302 and Passmark multithread scoring 34470. The average benchmark score of 40468 places the CPU at the 91st percentile among all CPUs.

The nearest rivals show how competitive this CPU is. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40431, which is 0.1% lower, while the Intel Core i9-13905H scores 40712, which is 0.6% higher. These differences are within noise margins, indicating that the Ryzen 7 7700 performs on par with these mobile flagship processors.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU. The FPS scaling pattern — where performance drops consistently as resolution increases — is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario. At 1080p Low, the 357.8 FPS result suggests the CPU can feed frames at very high rates, but the GPU becomes the bottleneck as resolution and settings increase. The CPU's 65W TDP and boost clock of 5.30 GHz ensure it can maintain high instruction throughput without thermal throttling, which is crucial for sustained frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 ranks 493 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the 68.8th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms roughly two-thirds of the combinations tested. The rank reflects the overall capability of this pairing across the measured settings and resolutions.

The rank is notable given that the CPU and GPU individually sit at high percentiles — the CPU at 91 and the GPU at 80. The combined rank of 493 out of 1580 suggests that while each component is strong individually, the pairing does not reach the top tier of performance in this specific game. This could be because Undisputed's engine is not fully utilizing the CPU's multi-threading capabilities, or because the GPU's 10 GB memory capacity limits performance at the highest settings.

The measured FPS data supports this ranking. At 4K Ultra, the combo produces 60.5 FPS, which is playable but not exceptional. At 1080p Low, the 357.8 FPS result is impressive but represents a scenario where most modern GPUs would also perform well. The rank of 493 out of 1580 indicates that there are 492 combos that achieve better overall performance in Undisputed, likely featuring newer GPUs or higher-end configurations.

The data shows that this combo excels in providing high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, with 4K performance being adequate for casual play. The rank reflects this balanced capability rather than extreme performance at any single resolution. For players targeting high refresh rates at 1440p, this combo delivers 157.8 FPS on High settings, which is well within the top tier of performance.
