Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for this combination reveal a pronounced and consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces an average of 440.9 FPS. Moving to 1440p at the same settings drops performance to 317 FPS, a reduction of approximately 28%. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 199.5 FPS, which represents a 37% decline from the 1440p figure. This steep drop-off indicates that even at Low settings, the rendering workload at higher resolutions begins to tax the graphics subsystem substantially.

The High preset tells a similar story with slightly different magnitudes. From 261.2 FPS at 1080p, performance falls to 188.6 FPS at 1440p, a 28% decrease, and then to 122.8 FPS at 4K, another 35% reduction. The Ultra preset exhibits the most dramatic scaling curve. At 1080p Ultra, the system manages 169.5 FPS, which drops to 119.9 FPS at 1440p (29% lower) and then to 77.4 FPS at 4K (35% lower than 1440p). Across all presets, the 1440p-to-4K transition consistently costs roughly one-third of the frame rate, while the 1080p-to-1440p step costs slightly less than one-third.

This pattern suggests that the game's rendering pipeline is heavily resolution-bound. The fact that even the Low preset loses 37% of its frame rate when moving from 1440p to 4K indicates that pixel throughput, rather than scene complexity or shader work, dominates the performance ceiling. The RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for these workloads, but the sheer number of pixels at 4K creates a bottleneck that no amount of CPU headroom can overcome. Conversely, the relatively modest scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, with the frame rate remaining exceptionally high throughout.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 brings 8 cores and 16 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. Its Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process, delivers strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, the processor scores 4136 in single-core and 29302 in multi-core tests. For a sports title like Undisputed, which typically relies on a limited number of heavily utilized threads, the single-core performance is particularly relevant.

The benchmark data supports this assessment. At 1080p Low, where the GPU is least stressed, the system reaches 440.9 FPS. This extreme frame rate would be impossible without a CPU capable of issuing draw calls and updating game logic at a very high rate. The Ryzen 7 7700's boost clock of 5.30 GHz, combined with its 32 MB of shared L3 cache, provides the responsiveness needed to maintain such high throughput. The 3DMark single-thread score of 1049 and 2-thread score of 2043 further corroborate strong per-core performance, which matters more than raw core count in this genre.

However, the CPU's influence diminishes as resolution climbs. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 77.4 FPS, a figure that is far below what the CPU could theoretically support. The data suggests that the processor is not the limiting factor at any resolution tested, since even the most demanding settings produce playable frame rates. The 65 W TDP and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are adequate for this workload, and the dual-channel DDR5 support ensures the CPU can access data quickly. In terms of peer comparisons, the Ryzen 7 7700 sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40468. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H, scores 40431, a delta of just 0.1%, while the Intel Core i9-13905H is 0.6% ahead. These differences are negligible in practice, reinforcing that the CPU is not a differentiator in this game's performance profile.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the dominant component in this configuration, and its characteristics define the gaming experience. It features 7680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 ROPs, with 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores. The boost clock of 2610 MHz and base clock of 2310 MHz position it as a high-end Ada Lovelace part. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the textures and geometry typical of a sports simulation.

The GPU's compute throughput is substantial, with an FP32 rating of 40.09 TFLOPS and a texture fill rate of 626.4 GTexel/s. These specifications translate directly into the measured frame rates. At 1080p Ultra, the GPU produces 169.5 FPS, which is more than adequate for high-refresh-rate displays. At 4K Ultra, the same settings yield 77.4 FPS, a figure that remains above the threshold for smooth gameplay but indicates the GPU is working near its limits. The scaling from Low to Ultra at any given resolution is consistent: at 1080p, the gap between Low (440.9 FPS) and Ultra (169.5 FPS) is a 62% reduction, while at 4K the same comparison shows a 61% reduction (199.5 to 77.4 FPS). This uniformity suggests that the GPU's performance curve is predictable across settings, with each higher preset adding a roughly proportional increase in rendering cost.

The GPU's percentile ranking is 85th among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44900. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, which scores 45152 (0.6% higher), and the Intel Arc A730M at 45592 (1.5% higher). These comparisons are interesting because they show the desktop RTX 4070 Ti trading blows with mobile and lower-tier parts, indicating that its performance is well understood within the broader GPU landscape. For Undisputed specifically, the GPU's VRAM capacity of 12 GB is unlikely to be a limitation at any tested resolution, as the game's requirements do not appear to exceed this amount even at 4K Ultra with the measured 77.4 FPS result.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 220th out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed, placing it in the top 14% of all configurations. This is a strong result for a pairing that pairs a mid-range 8-core processor with a high-end graphics card. The rank reflects the system's ability to maintain high frame rates across all settings and resolutions, with the lowest measured average being 77.4 FPS at 4K Ultra and the highest being 440.9 FPS at 1080p Low.

The rank also contextualizes the balance between CPU and GPU. Since the system is never CPU-limited at any tested setting, the 220th position is likely determined by the GPU's absolute performance ceiling. Configurations ranking above this one would presumably feature more powerful GPUs, such as those with higher memory bandwidth or more shading units, rather than faster CPUs. The Ryzen 7 7700's 91st percentile CPU ranking, compared with the RTX 4070 Ti's 85th percentile GPU ranking, suggests that the processor has headroom to support a more capable graphics card without becoming a bottleneck. This asymmetry is typical of a well-matched gaming system, where the GPU is the primary performance driver and the CPU provides ample support.

In practical terms, the 220th rank out of 1580 means that the system will deliver a premium experience in this game. The data shows no configuration pairing a CPU of this class with a GPU of this class underperforms, and the measured frame rates confirm that the system is well above the median for all tested combos.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for optimizing the experience in Undisputed. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 261.2 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display refresh rate currently available. The Ultra preset at 1080p still achieves 169.5 FPS, offering a higher visual quality without sacrificing fluidity. For users with 1080p displays, the Ultra preset is the best choice, as the performance headroom remains substantial.

At 1440p, the High preset produces 188.6 FPS, which is ideal for 144 Hz or even 165 Hz monitors. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 119.9 FPS, which is still smooth for 120 Hz displays but may be borderline for those seeking maximum frame rates. Given that the visual difference between High and Ultra is often marginal in sports titles, the High preset at 1440p represents the best balance of fidelity and performance. The Medium preset at 1440p, at 229.4 FPS, is unnecessary unless the user prioritizes frame rate above all else.

At 4K, the High preset achieves 122.8 FPS, which is excellent for 4K gaming and comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 77.4 FPS, which remains playable but may exhibit occasional dips in demanding scenes. For 4K displays, the High preset is the recommended choice, as it provides a 59% performance increase over Ultra while likely retaining most of the visual benefits. The Low preset at 4K, at 199.5 FPS, offers no advantage unless the user has a very high refresh rate 4K display, which is rare. The Medium preset at 4K, at 143.6 FPS, is a viable middle ground for users who want higher fidelity than High without the performance cost of Ultra.

In summary, the data indicates that the High preset is the most versatile option, delivering excellent frame rates at all three resolutions. For those with 1080p displays, Ultra is a reasonable choice given the 169.5 FPS result. For 1440p and 4K users, High provides the best experience, with Ultra reserved for situations where visual quality takes precedence over frame rate.
