Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and AMD Radeon RX 9060 combination delivers a solid, high-refresh-rate experience in Undisputed, with the data showing a clear shift in system bottleneck depending on resolution and settings. The pairing of an 8-core Zen 5 processor with a mid-range RDNA 4 graphics card produces playable frame rates across all tested configurations, though the GPU becomes the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The measured results indicate that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can consistently push past the 100 FPS mark on most presets.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture, codenamed Granite Ridge, and manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process node. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, with a 65 W TDP, making it a highly efficient desktop part. The CPU features a total of 32 MB of shared L3 cache, along with 1 MB of L2 per core and 80 KB of L1 per core, which provides a substantial amount of fast memory for game logic and physics calculations in Undisputed.

The processor's performance profile is strong, with a PassMark multithread score of 36,470 and a single-thread score of 4,691. This places the 9700F in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, indicating it is a top-tier performer for gaming workloads. In the nearest rival comparisons, the 9700F sits within a narrow band of performance: it is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX and 0.7% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, while trailing the Intel Core i7-14700KF by 0.2% and the Intel Core i7-14700K by 0.9%. These marginal deltas suggest that the CPU is not a differentiator in this system; it provides ample headroom for the GPU to operate without introducing a meaningful bottleneck.

In Undisputed, a sports simulation, the CPU is responsible for managing the physics of player movement, collisions, and the AI logic that governs opponent behavior. The measured FPS at 1080p with Low settings reaches 252 FPS, which is a strong indicator that the 9700F can feed frames to the GPU at an extremely high rate. At this setting, the CPU is likely the source of the frame ceiling, as the GPU is underutilized. The PassMark physics score of 2,122 and integer math score of 120,788 demonstrate robust computational power that translates well to maintaining consistent frame pacing in a game with many on-screen entities. The CPU's 89.6 GB/s of memory bandwidth over a dual-channel DDR5 interface further ensures that data can flow quickly between the processor and the rest of the system, avoiding stalls that could cause FPS drops.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture, using the Navi 44 chip, and is manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. It has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The GPU's memory clock runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the base clock is 1700 MHz, the game clock is 2400 MHz, and the boost clock reaches 2990 MHz. This configuration yields a pixel rate of 191.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s, with an FP32 performance of 21.43 TFLOPS.

The RX 9060's benchmark results place it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 16,014. It performs nearly identically to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, being only 0.7% slower, and it is 1% faster than both the AMD Radeon R9 370X and the AMD Radeon RX 7700. It also leads the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 by 2.1%. This positioning suggests that the GPU is a capable mid-range part that can handle modern titles at competitive settings, but it is not a high-end performer.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution and settings increase. At 1080p with Low settings, the GPU is not stressed, allowing the CPU to push FPS to 252. However, when moving to 1440p High, the FPS drops to 108, and at 4K High, it falls to 69. This decline is a direct result of the GPU's limited 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory interface, which can become a constraint at higher resolutions where texture data and frame buffers demand more memory capacity and bandwidth. The 70 FPS minimum at 1440p Medium and 95 FPS maximum at the same settings show that the GPU maintains playable performance, but the Ultra preset at 4K, which averages just 44 FPS, highlights the card's struggle with the most demanding visual settings.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 252 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, the FPS drops to 182, a reduction of 28%. At 4K Low, the FPS falls to 115, which is a 54% drop from the 1080p result. This scaling is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario; as the pixel count increases, the GPU must work harder to fill each frame, and the frame rate suffers proportionally.

The scaling is more severe at higher settings. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 181, which drops to 131 at 1440p Medium (a 28% reduction) and further to 83 at 4K Medium (a 54% reduction from 1080p). This pattern holds for High settings as well: 150 FPS at 1080p, 108 FPS at 1440p (a 28% drop), and 69 FPS at 4K (a 54% drop). The consistent percentage declines across all settings indicate that the GPU is the primary limiting component in this system once the resolution rises above 1080p.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average FPS is 97. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 70, a 28% reduction, and at 4K Ultra, it plummets to 44, a 55% reduction from 1080p. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that this combo is not suitable for 4K gaming at maximum settings. The data indicates that the CPU provides enough power to maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the GPU's memory bandwidth and capacity become a bottleneck as the load increases, leading to the observed FPS drops.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the overall ranking of tested system combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and AMD Radeon RX 9060 holds the 1633rd position out of 2,813 combos. This places it in the top 42% of all tested configurations, which is a respectable mid-pack result. The ranking suggests that while this system is not a top-tier performer, it outperforms a majority of the tested combos, which likely include older or lower-spec parts.

The combo's rank is heavily influenced by the GPU's performance, as the CPU is a high-end part that rarely bottlenecks. The RX 9060's 59th percentile ranking among all GPUs drags the overall system ranking down relative to what the CPU alone could achieve. However, the data shows that for a game like Undisputed, this combo still delivers smooth gameplay at 1080p and 1440p across most settings, which is a positive outcome for a mid-range system. The rank of 1633 indicates that there are faster combos available, but the measured FPS results show that this system is far from inadequate for the game's demands.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data provides a detailed picture of performance across different resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers an average of 252 FPS on Low settings, 181 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 154 and maximum of 208), 150 FPS on High, and 97 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that 1080p gaming is exceptionally smooth, with even the Ultra preset maintaining a high frame rate that is suitable for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down as expected. Low settings produce an average of 182 FPS, Medium delivers 131 FPS (with a minimum of 111 and maximum of 151), High delivers 108 FPS, and Ultra drops to 70 FPS. All of these results are above the 60 FPS playability threshold, making 1440p a viable resolution for this combo. The Medium preset shows a minimum FPS of 111, which indicates that even in demanding scenes, the system avoids significant frame drops.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become apparent. Low settings still produce a playable 115 FPS average, and Medium delivers 83 FPS (with a minimum of 70 and maximum of 95). High settings drop to 69 FPS, and Ultra falls to 44 FPS. The 4K results show that the combo can handle 4K at Low and Medium settings, but High and Ultra presets are not recommended for a smooth experience, as the average FPS dips below 60.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for this combo is at 1080p with the High preset, which delivers 150 FPS average. This setting provides a strong balance between visual fidelity and performance, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience without pushing the GPU to its limits. The Medium preset at 1080p, at 181 FPS, is also an excellent choice for players who prioritize frame rate above all else, as it offers a significant FPS boost over High with minimal visual impact.

For 1440p gaming, the High preset, at 108 FPS, is the recommended choice. It maintains a frame rate well above 100 FPS, which is ideal for most gaming monitors. The Medium preset, at 131 FPS, is a viable alternative for those who want extra headroom, but the visual benefits of High are generally worth the slight FPS reduction. The Ultra preset at 1440p, at 70 FPS, is playable but can feel less fluid in fast-paced moments, so it is best reserved for players who prioritize graphics over performance.

At 4K, the Medium preset is the only recommended option, with an average of 83 FPS and a minimum of 70 FPS. This provides a playable experience, but the Low preset, at 115 FPS, is a better choice for those who value smoothness over visual detail. The High and Ultra presets at 4K should be avoided, as they fall below the 60 FPS threshold, leading to a less enjoyable experience. Overall, the data suggests that the sweet spot for this combo is 1080p High or 1440p High, where the system delivers excellent performance without compromising visual quality.
