Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 delivers a highly playable experience in Undisputed, though the data reveals a clear shift in performance bottlenecks as resolution increases. This combination ranks 916th out of 1580 tested combos in the game, placing it in the middle of the pack. The benchmark results show that the CPU’s strong multi-threaded performance—evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 30325—is more than sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become limiting factors at 4K Ultra settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a classic scaling curve that highlights the transition from a CPU-bound state to a GPU-bound state. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 273.9 FPS, which is an exceptionally high frame rate that suggests the CPU is doing most of the heavy lifting. Moving to 1440p Low drops the average to 197.8 FPS, a reduction of roughly 28%. At 4K Low, the average falls further to 122.3 FPS, which is still very smooth but indicates that the GPU is starting to take over as the primary constraint.

The scaling becomes more pronounced when looking at higher settings presets. At High settings, the transition from 1080p (163.5 FPS) to 1440p (117.6 FPS) represents a 28% performance loss, while the jump from 1440p to 4K (77 FPS) is a 35% drop. This steeper decline at higher resolutions is a clear indicator that the RTX 4060’s memory bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s and 8 GB VRAM are becoming the limiting factors, rather than the Ryzen 7 7700X’s processing power.

The most dramatic scaling occurs at Ultra settings. The system delivers 101.8 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 73.2 FPS at 1440p (a 28% loss), and then plummets to 46.4 FPS at 4K (a 37% loss from 1440p). This pattern suggests that the Ultra preset pushes the GPU’s resources to their absolute limit at 4K, and the resulting frame rate falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many gamers consider the minimum for smooth gameplay. The data indicates that while the CPU is capable of handling the game’s physics and AI calculations at any resolution, the GPU simply runs out of headroom when asked to render the highest quality settings at 4K.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU-GPU combo in Undisputed?*

A: Based on the measured data, 1440p offers the best balance of visual quality and performance. At High settings, the system achieves 117.6 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold, while 4K High drops to 77 FPS and 4K Ultra falls to 46.4 FPS.

Q: How does the Ryzen 7 7700X compare to its closest rivals in general benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 7 7700X scores 34313 on average, which is 0.4% higher than the Intel Core i5-13500 (34175) and 0.5% higher than the Intel Core i7-12800HX (34136). It trails the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H and AMD EPYC 4244P by 0.8% each.

*Q: Is the RTX 4060 capable of running Undisputed at 4K?*

A: Only at lower settings presets. The data shows 122.3 FPS at 4K Low and 91.4 FPS at 4K Medium, which are playable. However, at 4K High (77 FPS) and 4K Ultra (46.4 FPS), the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates.

Q: What is the CPU’s single-threaded performance like for this game?

A: The Ryzen 7 7700X achieves a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4281 and a Passmark single-thread score of 4190. These scores indicate strong per-core performance, which is beneficial for the game’s simulation logic.

Q: How much VRAM does the RTX 4060 have, and does it matter here?

A: The RTX 4060 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus. The significant FPS drop from 4K High (77 FPS) to 4K Ultra (46.4 FPS) suggests that the Ultra preset may be exceeding the comfortable VRAM capacity, leading to performance degradation.

Q: What is the GPU’s benchmark percentile ranking?

A: The RTX 4060 falls in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23181. It is roughly tied with the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23321, -0.6%) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (23338, -0.7%).

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD107 chip, plays a critical role in determining the overall experience in Undisputed. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, with memory running at 2125 MHz (17 Gbps effective). These clock speeds allow the card to deliver solid performance in lighter scenes, but the 8 GB VRAM capacity and 128-bit bus width (272.0 GB/s bandwidth) are modest by modern standards.

The benchmark results show that the GPU’s performance is closely tied to the preset level. At 1080p, the RTX 4060 can push frame rates from 101.8 FPS at Ultra up to 273.9 FPS at Low, showing that it has ample headroom when the workload is lighter. However, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate collapses to 46.4 FPS, which is a 54% reduction from 4K High (77 FPS). This dramatic drop suggests that the Ultra preset demands more memory bandwidth and VRAM than the card can provide, causing the GPU to become the clear bottleneck.

The GPU’s raw compute capabilities—15.11 TFLOPS FP32 and a texture rate of 236.2 GTexel/s—are sufficient for the game’s visual effects at lower resolutions. The 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores also provide hardware support for ray tracing and DLSS, though the measured FPS data does not indicate whether these features were enabled. The card’s 48 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 118.1 GPixel/s, which helps maintain fill rates at 1080p and 1440p. However, the data clearly shows that the RTX 4060’s memory subsystem is the limiting factor at 4K, particularly with the Ultra preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive look at how this combo performs across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers outstanding performance: 273.9 FPS at Low, 192.5 FPS at Medium, 163.5 FPS at High, and 101.8 FPS at Ultra. These numbers indicate that the Ryzen 7 7700X is not the limiting factor at this resolution, as even the Ultra preset maintains a frame rate well above 100 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected decline. The system achieves 197.8 FPS at Low, 143 FPS at Medium, 117.6 FPS at High, and 73.2 FPS at Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all presets, averaging around 28-29%, which suggests a balanced scaling behavior. The Ultra preset at 1440p still provides a playable 73.2 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limitations become apparent. The system delivers 122.3 FPS at Low and 91.4 FPS at Medium, both of which are very playable. However, the High preset drops to 77 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 46.4 FPS. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steeper than the 1080p to 1440p transition, particularly at Ultra where the performance loss is 37%. This data strongly indicates that the RTX 4060’s 8 GB VRAM and 272.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are insufficient for the highest quality settings at 4K resolution.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this CPU-GPU combo depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p gaming, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice, as it delivers 101.8 FPS while providing the highest visual fidelity. The system has enough headroom to handle the Ultra preset without dipping below 100 FPS, making this the best experience at this resolution.

For 1440p, the High preset offers the best balance, achieving 117.6 FPS. While the Ultra preset at 73.2 FPS is still playable, the High preset provides a smoother experience with only a marginal visual difference. Players who prioritize frame rate over visual quality can opt for Medium at 143 FPS, but High is the sweet spot for most users.

At 4K, the recommendations become more nuanced. For a smooth experience, the Medium preset at 91.4 FPS is the best option, as it stays well above the 60 FPS threshold while offering decent visual quality. The Low preset at 122.3 FPS is also viable for competitive play, but the visual downgrade may be noticeable. The High preset at 77 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes, and the Ultra preset at 46.4 FPS is not recommended for serious play, as it falls below the 60 FPS target. The data suggests that 4K Medium is the most sensible choice for this hardware configuration.
