Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers exceptional frame rates in Undisputed, placing this combination at rank 11 out of 1580 tested combos. The data shows a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-limited at higher resolutions, with the CPU still capable of pushing extreme frame rates at 1080p. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across resolutions and settings, interprets the roles of each component, and provides practical guidance based solely on the benchmark results.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic shift in system bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 549.7 FPS, a figure so high that it clearly exceeds the refresh rate of virtually any display. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 398.4 FPS, a reduction of 151.3 FPS or roughly 27.5%. At 4K Low, the average falls to 252.1 FPS, which is 45.8% lower than the 1440p result and 54.1% lower than 1080p. This steep decline as resolution increases points directly to the GPU becoming the limiting factor, as the pixel throughput required at 4K is four times that of 1080p.

The pattern holds across all settings. For High settings, the frame rate drops from 324.7 FPS at 1080p to 238.5 FPS at 1440p, then to 148.3 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result is 54.3% below the 1080p High figure. With Medium settings, the progression is 397.4 FPS at 1080p, 283.3 FPS at 1440p, and 179.7 FPS at 4K — a 54.8% reduction from 1080p to 4K. Ultra settings show the same trend: 212.9 FPS at 1080p, 150.5 FPS at 1440p, and 98 FPS at 4K, a 54.0% drop.

The consistency of these percentage drops across settings — all falling between 54% and 55% from 1080p to 4K — is strong evidence that the GPU is the primary limiter once resolution increases. The RTX 5090, with its 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 512-bit bus, is clearly being pushed hard at 4K, yet it still delivers playable frame rates even at Ultra. The data suggests that the Ryzen 7 7700 has ample headroom at 1080p, where the CPU's role is more pronounced, but at 4K the GPU dominates the performance picture.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, and it carries 32 MB of shared L3 cache. This configuration delivers strong multi-threaded performance, as evidenced by its 3DMark scores: 8,484 in the 16-thread test and 8,479 in the max-thread test, showing near-linear scaling from 8 to 16 threads. The single-thread score of 1,049 is respectable and indicates solid per-core performance, which matters for games that rely on fewer threads.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is most visible at 1080p with Low settings, where the frame rate reaches 549.7 FPS. This figure is so high that it likely approaches the practical limit of what the CPU can feed to the GPU in this title. The fact that dropping resolution from 1440p to 1080p at Low settings yields a 151.3 FPS increase (from 398.4 to 549.7) suggests the CPU can still push more frames when the GPU load is light. However, the differences between settings at the same resolution are more telling. At 1080p, Low produces 549.7 FPS, Medium drops to 397.4 FPS, High to 324.7 FPS, and Ultra to 212.9 FPS. This spread of 336.8 FPS between Low and Ultra at 1080p is driven by GPU workload, not CPU limits, because the CPU is capable of exceeding 500 FPS in this scenario.

The Ryzen 7 7700's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29,302 and single-core score of 4,136 place it in the 91st percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen 9 7940H (0.1% ahead), the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (0.5% ahead), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 235T (1.2% ahead), while the Intel Core i9-13905H trails by 0.6%. This indicates the 7700 is a well-balanced mid-range to upper-mid-range CPU that does not bottleneck the RTX 5090 in this game, particularly at 4K where the GPU is the clear constraint.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a flagship GPU with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. Its boost clock is 2407 MHz, and it features 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. The FP32 performance is rated at 104.8 TFLOPS, which is a massive compute capability. The GPU's 94th percentile ranking among all GPUs is reflected in its benchmark scores: 39,650 in Passmark G3D and 14,411 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12.

The RTX 5090's dominance is evident in the measured FPS figures. At 4K Ultra, it still manages 98 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. At 4K High, it hits 148.3 FPS, and at 4K Medium, 179.7 FPS. These numbers are exceptional for a 4K resolution, where many GPUs struggle to maintain 60 FPS. The GPU's role as the primary performance driver is clear from the resolution scaling data: the consistent 54-55% frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K across all settings is a hallmark of GPU-bound scenarios.

The GPU's nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D (0.1% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (0.2% ahead), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6600 (1.3% ahead), while the NVIDIA CMP 40HX trails by 1.6%. These deltas are small, indicating the RTX 5090 sits at the top of the performance hierarchy. The 32 GB VRAM is particularly relevant for Undisputed, a sports title that may benefit from high-resolution textures, though the measured data does not indicate VRAM limitations at any tested setting.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows that Ultra settings at 1440p deliver 150.5 FPS, which is more than sufficient for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 4K, Ultra drops to 98 FPS, still playable but with less headroom. For the best balance of visual quality and performance, High settings at 1440p appear optimal: 238.5 FPS is far above any practical need, while High settings at 4K (148.3 FPS) offer both high fidelity and smooth motion.

For competitive play where frame rate is paramount, Low settings at 1080p (549.7 FPS) or 1440p (398.4 FPS) provide maximum responsiveness, but these settings sacrifice visual detail. Medium settings at 1080p (397.4 FPS) and 1440p (283.3 FPS) offer a middle ground. The data indicates that Medium at 1440p is a strong choice: 283.3 FPS is still exceptionally high, and the visual upgrade from Low to Medium is typically noticeable.

At 4K, the recommendation shifts. Ultra at 98 FPS is borderline for high-refresh displays, but High at 148.3 FPS provides a better experience if frame rate consistency matters more than absolute visual fidelity. Given that the jump from High to Ultra costs 50.3 FPS at 4K (from 148.3 to 98), while the jump from Medium to High costs 31.4 FPS (from 179.7 to 148.3), High settings at 4K offer the best trade-off between image quality and performance headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces 549.7 FPS on Low, 397.4 FPS on Medium, 324.7 FPS on High, and 212.9 FPS on Ultra. The spread from Low to Ultra is 336.8 FPS, with each settings tier reducing the frame rate by a significant margin.

At 2560x1440, the results are 398.4 FPS on Low, 283.3 FPS on Medium, 238.5 FPS on High, and 150.5 FPS on Ultra. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by 27.5% at Low, 28.7% at Medium, 26.5% at High, and 29.3% at Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the measured averages are 252.1 FPS on Low, 179.7 FPS on Medium, 148.3 FPS on High, and 98 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1440p to 4K is 36.7% at Low, 36.6% at Medium, 37.8% at High, and 34.9% at Ultra.

The consistency of these percentage drops across different settings tiers reinforces that the performance scaling is governed by GPU workload rather than CPU limitations. At 4K Ultra, the 98 FPS result is the lowest measured value, yet it still represents playable performance for a sports title.
