Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the shape of that curve is heavily dependent on the quality preset selected. At 1080p, the combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER produces extremely high frame rates, ranging from 415.7 FPS at Low settings down to 158.0 FPS at Ultra. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is operating well beyond the threshold where the GPU is the primary constraint, and the CPU's capability to feed frames becomes the more relevant factor.

Moving to 1440p, the frame rates remain exceptionally high but begin to show the GPU's workload increasing. The Low preset at 1440p delivers 300.0 FPS, which is a 27.8% reduction from the 1080p Low result of 415.7 FPS. The Medium preset drops from 302.8 FPS at 1080p to 217.3 FPS at 1440p, a 28.2% reduction. High settings at 1440p produce 178.9 FPS versus 250.9 FPS at 1080p, a 28.7% reduction. Ultra at 1440p yields 116.9 FPS compared to 158.0 FPS at 1080p, a 26.0% reduction. The consistency of these percentage drops across presets suggests that the GPU is scaling its workload evenly with pixel count, and the CPU is not introducing a bottleneck at this resolution.

At 4K, the scaling becomes more pronounced and the GPU's role becomes dominant. The Low preset at 4K delivers 189.8 FPS, which is 36.7% lower than the 1440p Low result. Medium at 4K produces 140.5 FPS, a 35.3% drop from 1440p Medium. High at 4K yields 116.9 FPS, a 34.7% reduction from 1440p High. Ultra at 4K falls to 73.1 FPS, a 37.5% drop from the 1440p Ultra figure. These larger percentage reductions at 4K compared to the 1440p reductions indicate that the GPU is now the limiting component, with the increased pixel workload directly translating to lower frame rates.

The data shows that the transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 26-29% performance across all presets, while the transition from 1440p to 4K costs roughly 35-38%. This nonlinear scaling is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, where memory bandwidth and shader throughput become the determining factors. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth and 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute are being fully exercised at 4K, particularly at Ultra settings where the 73.1 FPS result indicates substantial headroom remains for competitive play but not for high-refresh-rate displays.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, running on the AMD Socket AM5 platform. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 5.30 GHz, combined with 32 MB of shared L3 cache, provide the computational foundation for the frame rates observed in Undisputed. The processor's benchmark results show strong single-threaded performance with a 3dmark single-thread score of 1049 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4136, which are relevant for a fighting game where physics and AI calculations often run on a limited number of threads.

The multi-threaded capabilities of the Ryzen 7 7700 are also substantial, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29302 and a Passmark multithread score of 34470. These figures indicate that the CPU can handle the background tasks and game logic without becoming a constraint, even at 1080p where frame rates exceed 400 FPS. The fact that the 1080p Low preset achieves 415.7 FPS suggests that the CPU is capable of issuing draw calls and updating game state at an extremely high rate, far beyond what most displays can show.

Comparing the Ryzen 7 7700 to its nearest rivals in the benchmark database, it sits within a tight performance band. The Intel Core i9-13905H has an average score of 40712, which is 0.6% higher than the Ryzen 7 7700's average of 40468. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940H scores 40431, just 0.1% lower, and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40262, 0.5% lower. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235T scores 39995, which is 1.2% lower. This clustering indicates that the Ryzen 7 7700 is positioned at the top of its performance class, with no single rival holding a significant advantage.

In the context of Undisputed specifically, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU at resolutions above 1080p, but at 1080p the CPU's capability is what allows the system to reach the 415.7 FPS peak. The 3dmark 2-thread score of 2043 and 4-thread score of 3931 suggest that the processor's per-core performance is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking in a game that may not utilize all 16 threads efficiently. The 65 W TDP also indicates that thermal headroom is unlikely to be an issue, allowing the boost clock to be sustained during extended gaming sessions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings based on the target display refresh rate. For 1080p displays with refresh rates up to 240 Hz, the High preset at 250.9 FPS provides an excellent balance, offering significantly better visual quality than Medium while still delivering frame rates well above the display's capability. The Ultra preset at 1080p produces 158.0 FPS, which remains sufficient for high-refresh-rate gaming but represents a 37.0% performance penalty compared to High. Given that the difference between High and Ultra in a sports game typically involves subtle shadow and reflection improvements, the High preset is the more sensible choice.

For 1440p monitors, the High preset at 178.9 FPS is the strongest recommendation. This frame rate comfortably supports 144 Hz and 165 Hz displays, and the visual fidelity at High settings is generally indistinguishable from Ultra in fast-paced gameplay. The Medium preset at 217.3 FPS offers additional headroom for 240 Hz displays, but the visual compromise may be noticeable in character models and arena details. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces 116.9 FPS, which is playable but may not fully utilize a 144 Hz display's capabilities.

At 4K resolution, the recommendations shift based on display capabilities. The High preset at 116.9 FPS is the optimal choice for 4K displays with 120 Hz refresh rates, providing a smooth experience with high visual quality. The Medium preset at 140.5 FPS offers additional margin for frame time consistency, while the Ultra preset at 73.1 FPS drops below the 80 FPS threshold that many players consider minimum for smooth fighting game gameplay. The Low preset at 4K, while delivering 189.8 FPS, is not recommended for a game where visual clarity of opponent animations is critical, as reduced shadow quality and texture detail can hinder readability.

The data indicates that the High preset is the sweet spot across all three resolutions, delivering 250.9 FPS at 1080p, 178.9 FPS at 1440p, and 116.9 FPS at 4K. This consistency suggests that the High preset's workload is well-balanced between the CPU and GPU, and it provides the best frame rate-to-visual quality ratio in the measured set.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 273rd out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 17.3% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the strong performance of both components, but also indicates that there are 272 combos that achieve higher frame rates in this specific game. The ranking is likely influenced by the fact that Undisputed is not an extremely demanding title, allowing higher-end GPUs to stretch their lead at lower resolutions.

In the broader context of the benchmark database, the RTX 4070 SUPER holds the 84th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX A6000 with a score of 42653 (0.2% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE with 42723 (0.3% higher), and the AMD Radeon Pro 580X with 41991 (1.4% lower). The RTX 4070 SUPER's position among these rivals shows that it is competitive with workstation-class GPUs in synthetic benchmarks, though its gaming performance in Undisputed is what matters for this analysis.

The Ryzen 7 7700's 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40468, places it in the upper echelon of processors. The combination of a top-10% CPU and a top-16% GPU results in a combo rank of 273/1580, which is slightly lower than what the individual component percentiles might suggest. This discrepancy can be attributed to the game's scaling behavior, where the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions, and the CPU's advantages are not fully utilized in a sports title with relatively simple physics.

The combo rank of 273 out of 1580 means that the system outperforms 1307 other tested combinations. This places it in the upper quartile of all configurations, and the measured frame rates confirm that this ranking is justified by the actual performance data. The 4K Ultra result of 73.1 FPS and the 1080p Low result of 415.7 FPS bracket the system's capabilities, showing that it can handle both competitive settings and high-fidelity presentations.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using a 5 nm process at TSMC, with the AD104 chip containing 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. These specifications translate to a pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s, which are directly relevant to the frame rates observed in Undisputed.

The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a critical factor for high-resolution gaming. The memory clock of 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) ensures that the GPU is not starved for data in texture-heavy scenes. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576, places it in the upper tier of graphics cards, and its performance in synthetic tests like 3dmark Steel Nomad (4627) and Geekbench OpenCL (192684) confirms its compute capabilities.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes increasingly important as resolution increases. The 4K Ultra setting of 73.1 FPS represents the most demanding scenario, where the GPU's shading units and memory bandwidth are fully utilized. The 4K High setting of 116.9 FPS shows that the GPU can handle high-quality rendering at 4K while maintaining playable frame rates. The GPU's 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 56 RT cores are likely not fully utilized in this sports title, but the raw shader throughput is what drives the frame rates.

The RTX 4070 SUPER's nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the NVIDIA RTX A6000 with an average score of 42653 (0.2% higher), AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE with 42723 (0.3% higher), AMD Radeon Pro 580X with 41991 (1.4% lower), and NVIDIA Tesla M40 with 41897 (1.6% lower). This tight clustering shows that the RTX 4070 SUPER is precisely positioned in the GPU hierarchy, with no significant performance gap to its immediate competitors.
