Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination delivers a robust performance profile in Undisputed, with benchmark results showing a clear hierarchy where graphical settings and resolution dictate the experience. The measured data indicates this pairing is capable of high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K performance demands more conservative settings, placing it in the 1058th position out of 3718 tested combinations.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a GPU-bound system at higher resolutions. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 214 FPS at 1920x1080 to 154 FPS at 2560x1440, a 28% reduction, and further to 98 FPS at 3840x2160, a 36% reduction from 1440p. This steep decline indicates the GeForce RTX 3080's rendering throughput becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases, with the CPU's headroom becoming less relevant.

The Low settings row demonstrates even more pronounced scaling. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 359 FPS, which drops to 259 FPS at 1440p (a 28% decrease) and 164 FPS at 4K (a 37% decrease from 1440p). The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest the scaling pattern is primarily driven by resolution rather than settings complexity, though the absolute frame rates at Low settings remain high enough to suggest the CPU still has capacity to feed the GPU at lower resolutions.

The Medium settings measurements, which include minimum and maximum frame data, show a similar pattern. At 1080p Medium, the average is 258 FPS with a minimum of 219 FPS and maximum of 297 FPS. Moving to 1440p Medium drops the average to 187 FPS, and 4K Medium lands at 118 FPS. The gap between minimum and maximum frames tightens at higher resolutions, indicating more consistent frame delivery when the GPU is more heavily loaded.

At Ultra settings, the system produces 137 FPS at 1080p, 99 FPS at 1440p, and 63 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only measurement below 60 FPS across the entire dataset, highlighting that this resolution and settings combination pushes the RTX 3080 beyond its comfortable operating range for this title. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra is a 28% drop, consistent with other settings tiers, but the 1440p to 4K drop of 36% is slightly steeper, suggesting the memory bandwidth or shading capacity becomes more strained at the highest pixel counts.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations, this pairing holds the 1058th rank out of 3718 total combinations, placing it in the 72nd percentile of all tested systems. This positioning reflects a competent but not elite configuration, consistent with the RTX 3080's 68th percentile ranking among all GPUs and the Ryzen 7 7700X's 85th percentile among CPUs.

The GPU's nearest rivals in the broader benchmark suite include the NVIDIA P106-100 with an average score of 23249 (0.3% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 at 23250 (0.3% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6600M at 23273 (0.4% higher), and the AMD Radeon R9 M290X at 23276 (0.4% higher). These delta percentages are minimal, indicating the RTX 3080 sits in a tightly clustered performance band where minor architectural differences produce negligible score variations. The RTX 3080's own average benchmark score of 23172 places it just below these rivals, though the differences are within measurement noise.

The CPU side shows a similar pattern of close competition. The Ryzen 7 7700X's average benchmark score of 35909 is only 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 at 35802, 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core 7 250H at 35728, and 0.5% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 350 at 35719. The Intel Core Ultra 9 185H trails by 0.7% with a score of 35670. These narrow margins confirm that the 7700X is competitive with contemporary mid-range and upper-mid-range processors, though it does not dominate its segment.

The combination's rank of 1058 out of 3718 suggests that while both components are individually strong, the pairing does not reach the top tier of tested systems, likely because higher-end GPUs paired with this CPU achieve better results in Undisputed. The rank also reflects that many tested combinations include more recent or higher-tier graphics cards that outperform the RTX 3080 in this title.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data supports High settings as the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p High, the system delivers 214 FPS, comfortably exceeding the refresh rate of most high-frequency monitors. At 1440p High, the 154 FPS average remains well above 120 FPS thresholds, providing smooth gameplay for competitive scenarios. Even at 4K High, the 98 FPS average stays above 90 FPS, which is acceptable for a sports title where precise timing matters less than in fast-paced shooters.

Medium settings offer a viable alternative for users prioritizing higher frame rates. The 1080p Medium result of 258 FPS and 1440p Medium result of 187 FPS provide substantial headroom above High settings, while the 4K Medium result of 118 FPS approaches the 120 FPS mark. The measured minimum of 100 FPS at 4K Medium indicates the frame delivery remains stable, with a maximum of 136 FPS showing some variability but no severe dips.

Ultra settings are only recommended for 1080p and 1440p users with high refresh rate displays that can take advantage of the 137 FPS and 99 FPS averages respectively. At 4K, the 63 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS minimum that many users consider acceptable for smooth gameplay, and the lack of minimum frame data for this row suggests potential instability. Users with 4K displays should avoid Ultra settings unless they can tolerate occasional frame rate drops.

Low settings produce the highest frame rates, with 359 FPS at 1080p, 259 FPS at 1440p, and 164 FPS at 4K. These settings sacrifice visual quality significantly, but the data shows they unlock the full potential of the CPU and GPU combination. For esports-style play where responsiveness is paramount, Low settings at 1080p or 1440p are the clear choice, though the visual trade-offs may not be worth the frame rate increase for most players.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured dataset provides a comprehensive view of the system's capabilities. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates span from 137 FPS at Ultra to 359 FPS at Low, with High at 214 FPS and Medium at 258 FPS. The Medium settings row includes minimum and maximum values of 219 FPS and 297 FPS respectively, indicating a 78 FPS range that suggests some scene-to-scene variability but no problematic stuttering.

At 2560x1440, the averages range from 99 FPS at Ultra to 259 FPS at Low. High settings produce 154 FPS, and Medium settings average 187 FPS with a minimum of 159 FPS and maximum of 215 FPS. The 56 FPS range at Medium is tighter than at 1080p, reflecting the increased GPU load that smooths out frame delivery. The 1440p Ultra result of 99 FPS is just below the 100 FPS threshold, making it a borderline choice for high refresh rate displays.

The 3840x2160 results show the most constrained performance. Ultra settings average 63 FPS, High averages 98 FPS, Medium averages 118 FPS with a minimum of 100 FPS and maximum of 136 FPS, and Low averages 164 FPS. The Medium settings row at 4K exhibits the tightest frame range of any resolution, with a 36 FPS spread, indicating that the GPU maintains consistent performance when not pushed to its absolute limits. The 4K Low result of 164 FPS demonstrates that even at the highest resolution, the system can achieve high frame rates when visual settings are reduced.

The progression from Low to Ultra at each resolution shows a consistent pattern. At 1080p, the drop from Low to High is 145 FPS (from 359 to 214), and from High to Ultra is 77 FPS (from 214 to 137). At 1440p, the corresponding drops are 105 FPS (259 to 154) and 55 FPS (154 to 99). At 4K, the drops are 66 FPS (164 to 98) and 35 FPS (98 to 63). The diminishing absolute differences at higher resolutions confirm that the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as pixel count increases.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, built on the Ampere architecture with the GA102 chip, provides the graphical horsepower for this configuration. Its 10 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 320-bit bus delivers 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Undisputed at 4K High settings where the average frame rate reaches 98 FPS. The memory configuration allows the card to handle the texture and geometry demands of a modern sports title without apparent bandwidth limitations.

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 1440 MHz and boost of 1710 MHz, drive its 8704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. The 29.77 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 465.1 GTexel/s texture rate provide ample raw processing power for the game's rendering requirements. The 164.2 GPixel/s pixel rate supports the high fill rates needed at 4K resolution, though the Ultra settings results suggest the card's limits are reached when all visual features are enabled.

The RTX 3080's 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores support ray tracing and DLSS features, though the measured data does not indicate whether these technologies were active in the benchmark runs. The card's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 API compatibility ensure it can run the game with modern graphics features enabled. The 320 W TDP and dual-slot design with a single 12-pin power connector reflect the card's power requirements, with a suggested 700 W PSU for the overall system.

The GPU's benchmark scores show a mixed picture. Its Passmark G3D score of 25086 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 4407 indicate solid performance in synthetic tests, while the Geekbench OpenCL score of 152423 and Vulkan score of 33620 demonstrate strong compute capabilities. The Passmark GPU Compute score of 14397 and DirectX 11 score of 207 suggest the card handles both gaming and compute workloads effectively. The GPU's 68th percentile ranking among all GPUs reflects its position as a capable but not top-tier card in the current landscape.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, based on the Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename, provides the processing foundation for this system. Its 8 cores and 16 threads operate at a base clock of 4.50 GHz with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, delivering strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The 105 W TDP and 5 nm process from TSMC, with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die, represent a modern and efficient design.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate its capabilities.

The Passmark suite reveals specific strengths. The integer math score of 112601 and floating point math score of 68986 show strong arithmetic performance, while the extended instructions score of 32033 and data encryption score of 24732 indicate solid cryptographic and SIMD capabilities. The data compression score of 420240 and random string sorting score of 49782 are less relevant for gaming but show the CPU's versatility. The multithread score of 35686 and single-thread score of 4190 align with expectations for an 8-core/16-thread processor.

For Undisputed, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with game state data, physics calculations, and AI processing. The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 cache per core provide sufficient fast memory for the game's working set. The dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures the CPU can quickly access game data. The PCIe Gen 5 support with 24 lanes provides ample bandwidth for the GPU and storage devices.

The CPU's 85th percentile ranking among all processors indicates it outperforms the majority of CPUs in the database, and its proximity to rivals like the Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 and Intel Core 7 250H within 0.5% shows it is competitive with the latest mid-range options. The 7700X's ability to maintain high frame rates at 1080p Low (359 FPS) suggests it is not the limiting factor in this configuration, with the GPU becoming the bottleneck as resolution increases.
