Undisputed

# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 lands at rank 392 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 25% of all configurations. This is a strong result for a sports title that typically favors raw frame generation over exotic hardware. The combo's percentile standing—87th for the CPU and 81st for the GPU—suggests both components are well above average, but the ranking reveals that many other pairings achieve higher frame rates, likely due to more powerful GPUs rather than CPU limitations. The data shows a system capable of high refresh rate play at most settings, though the Ultra preset at 4K pushes it toward the edge of playability.

How This Combo Ranks

At position 392 of 1580, this combo sits comfortably in the upper quartile of all tested pairings in Undisputed. The ranking reflects a balance where the CPU's 3D V-Cache advantage—96 MB of shared L3—helps maintain consistent frame pacing, but the RTX 4070's mid-range positioning caps absolute performance. The CPU's average benchmark score of 31580 places it 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700F and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 5980HX, indicating the 7800X3D is competitive with mainstream desktop parts. However, the GPU's average score of 37283 is slightly below the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 by 0.6% and trails the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A by 1.9%, which is unusual—those rivals are not typically faster in gaming, yet the benchmark data suggests the RTX 4070's synthetic scores are close to those parts. In practical terms, the combo's rank implies that users can expect smooth 60+ FPS at 4K with Medium settings, but the Ultra preset will require compromises. The 2.5% lead over the AMD Radeon RX 5300M in GPU average score is marginal, reinforcing that this is a mid-pack GPU in synthetic terms, though its real-world gaming performance in Undisputed is far stronger, as shown by the measured FPS data.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 brings 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. In Undisputed, this memory configuration proves sufficient even at 3840x2160, where the High preset achieves 102.2 FPS. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1920 MHz are moderate, but the Ada Lovelace architecture's efficiency helps maintain high frame rates without excessive power draw—though the TDP is listed at 200 W. The 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units provide ample compute for a sports title with relatively simple geometry. The pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s suggest the GPU can handle high-resolution rendering, but the data shows that Ultra settings at 4K drop to 67.1 FPS, indicating that the RTX 4070's 64 ROPs become a bottleneck when pushing extreme settings. The 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are present but unused in this game, as Undisputed does not appear to rely on ray tracing or DLSS based on the measured data. The GPU's 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns with its performance class, though the nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks—including the RTX 4080 Mobile at 2.2% higher average score—suggest that desktop-versus-mobile comparisons are not always indicative of gaming results.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data points to Medium as the optimal balance for most users. At 1080p, Medium delivers 271.3 FPS, which is only slightly below Low's 371.7 FPS but provides significantly better visual quality. Moving to 1440p, Medium still achieves 194.8 FPS, comfortably above the 144 Hz refresh rate most monitors offer. Even at 4K, Medium holds 122.5 FPS, which is playable on high-refresh displays. High settings are also viable: 223.8 FPS at 1080p, 163.8 FPS at 1440p, and 102.2 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset, however, is only recommended for 1080p at 142.4 FPS, as 1440p drops to 103.4 FPS and 4K falls to 67.1 FPS—marginal for competitive play. Low settings are unnecessary except for extreme frame rate chasing, since even Medium at 4K exceeds 120 FPS. The data suggests that High at 1440p offers the best experience for most users, with a 60% higher frame rate than Ultra at the same resolution while maintaining visual fidelity.

A: The 7800X3D achieves a 3dmark single-thread score of 959 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3759, both indicating strong per-core performance that benefits games like Undisputed with light physics calculations.

Q: Is the combo's ranking affected more by CPU or GPU?

A: The GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU ranks in the 87th percentile, while the GPU ranks in the 81st, and the GPU's synthetic scores show it trailing several mid-range parts. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 67.1 FPS, suggesting the GPU is the primary constraint.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a clear pattern of diminishing returns as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the combo delivers 371.7 FPS, but this drops to 272.9 FPS at 1440p (a 26.6% reduction) and then to 173.3 FPS at 4K (a 36.5% reduction from 1440p). This scaling is typical of a GPU-bound scenario at lower settings, where the CPU can feed frames quickly but the GPU struggles to keep up with pixel count. At High settings, the drop from 1080p (223.8 FPS) to 1440p (163.8 FPS) is 26.8%, and to 4K (102.2 FPS) is 37.6%—a similar pattern. The Ultra preset shows the steepest decline: 142.4 FPS at 1080p, 103.4 FPS at 1440p (27.4% drop), and 67.1 FPS at 4K (35.1% drop from 1440p). The consistent ~27% reduction from 1080p to 1440p across all settings indicates the GPU is the bottleneck, as CPU-bound scenarios would show smaller reductions. However, the 4K to 1440p drop is larger, suggesting that memory bandwidth and pixel fill rate become increasingly critical at higher resolutions. The RTX 4070's 504.2 GB/s bandwidth appears sufficient for Medium at 4K (122.5 FPS), but the Ultra preset's 67.1 FPS indicates that the 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate is the limiting factor.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is a 8-core, 16-thread processor with a base clock of 4.20 GHz and boost clock of 5.00 GHz. Its 96 MB of shared L3 cache is the standout feature, designed to reduce memory latency in gaming workloads. In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations, and the measured FPS at 1080p Low (371.7 FPS) suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions. The 3dmark multi-thread score of 7967 and Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29149 indicate robust multi-threaded performance, but single-thread performance is more relevant for games. The 3dmark single-thread score of 959 and Passmark single-thread score of 3759 are strong, ensuring that the CPU can keep up with the GPU at 1440p and 4K. The data shows that from 1080p to 1440p, the FPS drops by about 27% across all settings, which is consistent with GPU-bound behavior—if the CPU were limiting, the drop would be smaller. At 4K, the CPU's influence diminishes further, as the GPU becomes the sole constraint. The CPU's 87th percentile ranking and its 0.1% lead over the Intel Core i7-12700F in average score confirm it is a high-end part, but its 120 W TDP and 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are not unusual for the platform. The 7800X3D also has integrated Radeon Graphics, which are unnecessary for this combo but provide a fallback if the GPU fails.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 371.7 FPS on Low, 271.3 FPS on Medium, 223.8 FPS on High, and 142.4 FPS on Ultra. The step from Low to Medium costs 27% of the frame rate, while High to Ultra costs 36%, reflecting the increasing GPU load. At 2560x1440, the numbers are 272.9 FPS (Low), 194.8 FPS (Medium), 163.8 FPS (High), and 103.4 FPS (Ultra). The relative drops from 1080p are consistent at around 27% for Low, Medium, and High, but Ultra drops by 27.4%, indicating a slight shift toward GPU limits. At 3840x2160, the results are 173.3 FPS (Low), 122.5 FPS (Medium), 102.2 FPS (High), and 67.1 FPS (Ultra). The 4K to 1440p reductions are 36.5% for Low, 37.1% for Medium, 37.6% for High, and 35.1% for Ultra—all showing the GPU struggling with pixel throughput. The data shows that the combo can exceed 100 FPS at 4K on Medium and High, which is impressive for a mid-range GPU, but Ultra at 4K drops below 70 FPS, making it borderline for smooth play. The 12 GB VRAM is never a limiting factor, as even 4K Ultra uses less than that based on the FPS results. The GPU's 2475 MHz boost clock and 1920 MHz base clock are moderate, but the Ada Lovelace architecture's efficiency allows for high frame rates without requiring extreme clocks. The 16-pin power connector and 550 W suggested PSU are standard for this class, and the dual-slot design at 240 mm length indicates a compact card that fits most cases. The measured FPS data is consistent with the GPU's 81st percentile ranking, showing that it performs above its synthetic score in this specific game, likely due to the CPU's 3D V-Cache minimizing stutter and frame drops.
