Undisputed

# How This Combo Ranks

The pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D achieves the top position in Undisputed, ranking 1st out of 2813 tested combos. This is a dominant placement that places this configuration at the very apex of the performance hierarchy for this title. The data indicates that no other tested combination of processor and graphics card delivers higher frame rates in this boxing simulation.

The rank is particularly telling when considering the individual components' standings in their respective general benchmark pools. The CPU sits at the 87th percentile among all tested processors, while the GPU reaches the 92nd percentile among all tested graphics cards. Neither component is the absolute fastest available in a vacuum, yet their combination produces the single best result in this specific game. This suggests that Undisputed's engine responds exceptionally well to this particular hardware pairing, rewarding the balance of the Ryzen 7 7700's eight-core Zen 4 architecture with the RTX 5090 D's massive Blackwell-based compute throughput. The synergy between the two boosts the combo beyond what either part achieves in isolation, creating a sum that outperforms configurations with theoretically stronger individual components.

# GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the clear driving force behind the exceptional frame rates observed in this combo. Its memory configuration is a standout feature: 32 GB of GDDR7 on a 512-bit bus yields 1.79 TB/s of memory bandwidth. For a sports title like Undisputed, which renders detailed fighter models and dynamic arena environments, this bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and geometry data never become a bottleneck, even at extreme resolutions.

The GPU's clock behavior shows a base clock of 2017 MHz boosting to 2407 MHz, which is a modest boost ratio that suggests the card is designed for sustained, heavy workloads rather than short bursts. The 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is the headline specification here, providing the raw shading capability needed to push hundreds of frames per second in a fast-paced fighting game. The 176 ROPs and 680 TMUs provide ample pixel throughput and texture filtering, which directly translates to the high fill rates required for the game's visual effects.

Interestingly, the GPU's benchmark scores show a mixed profile. The PassMark G3D score of 44065 and the Geekbench Vulkan score of 376915 indicate strong DirectX and Vulkan performance. However, the PassMark DirectX 12 score of 219 is notably lower relative to its other results, which could suggest driver-level quirks or an engine preference for older API paths. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 14326 provides a more modern measure of DX12 capability, and the game's top-tier ranking implies that Undisputed's implementation of graphics APIs is well-optimized for this card's architecture. The GPU's 92nd percentile placement among all GPUs, combined with its 1.1% lead over the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT in average benchmark score, shows it is at the upper echelon of performance, though the margin over that rival is surprisingly thin in general benchmarks, indicating the card's true strength emerges in specific gaming workloads like this one.

# Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates reveal a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop tells a compelling story about the system's bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 344 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same settings drops this to 249 FPS, a reduction of 95 FPS or roughly 27.6%. The jump to 3840x2160 yields 157 FPS, which is 92 FPS lower than the 1440p result and 187 FPS lower than 1080p, representing a 54.4% decrease from the 1080p baseline.

The pattern is consistent across all settings presets. At Low settings, the frame rates are 578 FPS at 1080p, 418 FPS at 1440p, and 264 FPS at 4K. The absolute drop from 1080p to 4K is 314 FPS, a 54.3% reduction. At Ultra settings, the numbers are 222 FPS at 1080p, 160 FPS at 1440p, and 101 FPS at 4K, with a 121 FPS drop from 1080p to 4K, or 54.5%.

The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings is striking. Whether at Low or Ultra, the system loses just over half its frame rate when moving from 1080p to 4K. This uniformity suggests that the scaling is primarily driven by the GPU's rendering load rather than any CPU limitation. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the percentage drop would be much smaller at higher resolutions, as the CPU work per frame would stay constant while GPU time increases. The fact that the drop is so consistent indicates that the RTX 5090 D is still the dominant factor even at 1080p, where CPU overhead typically becomes more significant. The Ryzen 7 7700 with its 8 cores and 16 threads is evidently powerful enough to feed the GPU at even the highest frame rates, allowing the GPU to remain the limiting component throughout the resolution range.

# CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 provides the processing foundation for this top-ranked combo, and its specifications are well-suited to the demands of Undisputed. With 8 cores and 16 threads running at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, the CPU offers a high-frequency, multi-threaded architecture that can handle both the game's simulation logic and the background tasks of a modern operating system. The Zen 4 architecture, built on TSMC's 5 nm process with 6,570 million transistors, delivers excellent instruction-level parallelism that benefits the physics and AI computations in a sports title.

The CPU's 65W TDP is remarkably low for the performance it provides, which means it operates efficiently without thermal throttling, maintaining consistent frame delivery over long gaming sessions. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache is particularly beneficial for gaming, as it allows frequently accessed data to be stored close to the cores, reducing memory latency. The DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth on a dual-channel bus ensures that the CPU can feed data to the GPU without creating a data pipeline bottleneck.

Benchmark results show the CPU's balanced capabilities. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 18760 and single-core score of 1930 demonstrate strong performance in both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. The Geekbench multicore score of 15371 and single-core score of 2525 reinforce this pattern. The PassMark multithread score of 34470 and single-thread score of 4063 show that the CPU excels at both parallel and sequential tasks, which is crucial for game engines that mix various thread types.

The CPU's 87th percentile ranking among all processors places it in the upper tier, but its nearest rivals show negligible performance differences. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40048 (just 0.1% lower), and the Intel Core 5 221E scores 40144 (just 0.2% higher). These tiny margins indicate that the Ryzen 7 7700 is not meaningfully faster or slower than its closest competitors in general workloads. However, in Undisputed specifically, the CPU's combination of high clock speeds and efficient architecture proves to be the ideal complement to the RTX 5090 D, enabling the combo to achieve its number one ranking.

# Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data across various settings and resolutions provides a clear picture of the optimal configuration for different display scenarios. The combo's extraordinary performance means that even the most demanding settings are playable at all tested resolutions, but the data reveals which settings provide the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate headroom.

At 1920x1080, the High preset delivers 344 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display refresh rate currently on the market. The Ultra preset at 222 FPS still provides an excellent experience with enhanced visual quality. The Medium preset at 416 FPS offers maximum smoothness but sacrifices some visual details. For 1080p users, the High preset is the recommended choice, as it provides a superior visual experience at 344 FPS while still offering significant headroom above the 222 FPS of Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves 249 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset at 160 FPS is still exceptionally smooth and provides the best visual quality. The data suggests that 1440p users should choose Ultra if they prioritize visual fidelity, as 160 FPS remains well above the 101 FPS measured at 4K Ultra and offers a noticeable improvement in image quality over High.

At 3840x2160, the High preset at 157 FPS is the standout recommendation. It provides a very smooth 4K experience with high visual quality. The Ultra preset at 101 FPS is still playable but offers less headroom for demanding scenes, and the minimum FPS data from the Medium preset (162 FPS minimum) suggests that High maintains a solid floor above the refresh rates of most 4K displays. The Low preset at 264 FPS is unnecessary given the performance of High, as the visual quality reduction is not justified by the frame rate increase when High already exceeds 144 Hz.

For the best overall experience, the High preset at any resolution is the data-supported choice, as it consistently delivers frame rates that exceed the refresh rates of virtually all consumer displays while maintaining strong visual quality.
