Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for _Undisputed_ reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers 475.6 FPS, which drops to 344.9 FPS at 1440p and further to 221.2 FPS at 4K. This represents a 53.5% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that even at the lowest graphical preset, the rendering workload scales heavily with pixel count.

Moving to High settings, the progression is 281.9 FPS at 1080p, 207.8 FPS at 1440p, and 128.6 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K here is 54.4%, nearly identical to the Low preset scaling. This consistency suggests that the game's rendering pipeline is uniformly sensitive to resolution regardless of quality level. The RTX 4080 SUPER's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 736.3 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient to prevent any memory-related bottlenecks even at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate settles at 81.8 FPS.

At Ultra settings, the scaling pattern shifts. The 1080p result of 184.5 FPS drops to 130.4 FPS at 1440p (a 29.3% reduction) and then to 81.8 FPS at 4K (a 37.3% reduction from 1440p). The steeper decline at higher resolutions under Ultra settings points to the increased shader and texture workload overwhelming the GPU's compute resources. The data indicates that the CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is never the limiting factor at any resolution tested — the frame rate differences track almost entirely with GPU workload.

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 7700X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 119th out of 1,580 tested combos in _Undisputed_. That places it in the top 7.5% of all configurations tested, a strong result for a game that is primarily GPU-bound at higher resolutions. The ranking reflects the balance between the CPU's 89th percentile standing among all processors and the GPU's 88th percentile among all graphics cards.

The CPU's nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Core i5-13500 with an average score of 34,175 (0.4% higher), the Intel Core i7-12800HX at 34,136 (0.5% higher), the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H at 34,584 (0.8% lower), and the AMD EPYC 4244P at 34,599 (0.8% lower). These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, and the 7700X's single-thread performance — highlighted by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4,281 — ensures it keeps up with any of these alternatives in _Undisputed_'s gameplay.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals in aggregate benchmarking are the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT at 53,489 (0.2% lower), the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M at 53,414 (0.4% lower), the AMD Radeon RX 7700S at 52,505 (2.1% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti at 52,086 (2.9% lower). The RTX 4080 SUPER's 52.22 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 80 RT cores give it a decisive edge in any modern rendering workload.

GPU Role

The RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing for _Undisputed_. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth, which is more than adequate for the game's texture streaming and geometry requirements at 4K. The GPU's boost clock of 2550 MHz and base clock of 2295 MHz are relatively high for the Ada Lovelace architecture, and the 10,240 shading units provide substantial raw throughput.

The GPU's benchmark results reinforce its capability. A PassMark G3D score of 34,245 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,600 indicate strong DirectX 12 performance, which is relevant for _Undisputed_ given its modern rendering pipeline. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 246,994 and Vulkan score of 226,163 show that the GPU handles both compute and graphics APIs efficiently.

At 4K Ultra, the combo manages 81.8 FPS, which is playable but not excessive. The fact that Low settings at 4K yield 221.2 FPS suggests that the game's Ultra preset imposes significant additional shading and post-processing costs. The GPU's 112 ROPs and 320 TMUs handle the pixel and texture throughput needed for these settings, but the frame rate drop from Medium (157.7 FPS) to Ultra (81.8 FPS) at 4K is steep — a 48.1% reduction that indicates the Ultra preset includes computationally expensive effects.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the results are consistently high across all settings. Low delivers 475.6 FPS, Medium 341.1 FPS, High 281.9 FPS, and Ultra 184.5 FPS. Even at Ultra, the frame rate exceeds 144 Hz, making this resolution entirely GPU-bound with headroom to spare. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 61.2% reduction in frame rate, which is substantial but leaves the user with more than enough performance for any high-refresh-rate monitor.

Moving to 2560x1440, the scores remain impressive. Low produces 344.9 FPS, Medium 245.4 FPS, High 207.8 FPS, and Ultra 130.4 FPS. The Ultra setting at 1440p is the first configuration that dips below 144 FPS, suggesting that users targeting very high refresh rates at this resolution should consider High settings. The drop from High to Ultra at 1440p is 37.2%, highlighting the cost of the highest quality preset.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens. Low yields 221.2 FPS, Medium 157.7 FPS, High 128.6 FPS, and Ultra 81.8 FPS. The Ultra figure is the only measured result below 100 FPS in the entire dataset. High settings at 4K still clear 120 FPS, which is suitable for most displays. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is 18.4%, while the gap between High and Ultra is 36.4%, showing that the Ultra preset is disproportionately demanding at this resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700X plays a supporting but important role in this combo. With 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, it provides ample processing power for _Undisputed_'s simulation and AI logic. The CPU's boost clock of 5.40 GHz and base clock of 4.50 GHz are competitive, and its 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed data close to the cores.

Synthetic benchmarks show strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 30,325, while Geekbench multicore reaches 15,538. Single-thread performance is equally solid, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 4,281 and PassMark single-thread at 4,190. These scores indicate that the CPU can drive the GPU without becoming a bottleneck, which is consistent with the measured FPS data showing smooth scaling across resolutions.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s via dual-channel DDR5 support ensures that data flows efficiently to the GPU. The 105 W TDP reflects a power-efficient design that doesn't require exotic cooling. In _Undisputed_, where the engine's physics and opponent AI rely on CPU throughput, the 7700X's 16 threads handle the load comfortably — the lack of any min FPS data in the measurement set suggests stable frame pacing rather than occasional stutters from CPU limitations.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K displays, High settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance at 128.6 FPS. The jump to Ultra drops to 81.8 FPS, which is a 36.4% reduction that may not justify the visual gains. Users with 120 Hz or 144 Hz 4K monitors will find High settings sufficient, while those with 60 Hz displays could comfortably enable Ultra.

At 1440p, High settings deliver 207.8 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate gaming. Ultra at 130.4 FPS is still smooth and would be the recommended choice for users prioritizing visual fidelity over maximum frame rates. The Medium preset at 245.4 FPS offers diminishing returns in visual quality for only a modest frame rate gain over High.

For 1080p, the choice depends on the display's refresh rate. Ultra at 184.5 FPS is the best option for most users, as it provides the highest visual quality while still exceeding 144 Hz. Those with 240 Hz or higher monitors might prefer High at 281.9 FPS, but the visual compromise from Ultra to High is noticeable in texture detail and shadow quality. The Low preset at 475.6 FPS is only relevant for competitive play where maximum frame rates matter more than visuals — the data shows it's the only setting that pushes past 400 FPS.

The overall recommendation is to choose High settings for 4K, Ultra for 1440p, and Ultra for 1080p. This combination maximizes visual quality while maintaining frame rates above 120 FPS in every case. The measured data supports this guidance: High at 4K (128.6 FPS), Ultra at 1440p (130.4 FPS), and Ultra at 1080p (184.5 FPS) all deliver smooth, responsive gameplay without requiring any compromise in resolution or quality.
