Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination delivers a remarkably consistent experience in Undisputed, with performance scaling that clearly identifies the GPU as the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The data reveals a system capable of high refresh rate play at 1080p and solid 60+ FPS at 4K, though the drop-off from Low to Ultra settings illustrates the RTX 3070's 8 GB VRAM and Ampere architecture are the limiting factors in this sports title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a predictable yet telling progression as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 183 FPS average, which drops to 132 FPS at 2560x1440 and then to 84 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The scaling pattern suggests that at 1080p, the CPU still has headroom to feed the GPU, but by 1440p the graphics card begins to dominate the performance equation.

The Low settings row amplifies this trend dramatically. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 308 FPS average, indicating that the Ryzen 7 9700F is more than capable of driving extreme frame rates when the GPU is under low load. Dropping to 1440p Low yields 222 FPS, and at 4K Low the average falls to 141 FPS. The 4K Low result is particularly interesting because it still exceeds the 4K High result by 57 FPS, showing that the game's visual complexity at High settings creates a substantial GPU bottleneck.

Looking at the Ultra preset, the story becomes even clearer. The 1080p Ultra average of 118 FPS is actually higher than the 4K High average of 84 FPS, which demonstrates how resolution and settings interact. At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 54 FPS average, a figure that highlights the RTX 3070's limitations at maximum fidelity and maximum pixel count. The gap between 1080p Ultra and 4K Ultra is 64 FPS, a 54% reduction that mirrors the High preset scaling.

The Medium settings provide the only complete min/max data in the measured rows. At 1080p Medium, the average is 221 FPS with a min of 188 FPS and max of 255 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 160 FPS with min 136 FPS and max 184 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 101 FPS with min 86 FPS and max 116 FPS. These ranges indicate consistent frame pacing with no severe stutters, suggesting that neither the CPU nor GPU experiences catastrophic frame time spikes in this title.

The resolution scaling analysis points to a system that is GPU-bound at 1440p and above, with the CPU becoming relevant only at 1080p Low where the 308 FPS result approaches what the Ryzen 7 9700F can sustain. For players targeting 144Hz monitors, the 1440p High setting at 132 FPS is just below the threshold, while 1080p High at 183 FPS provides comfortable headroom.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is built on the Ampere architecture with a GA104 chip manufactured on Samsung's 8 nm process. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1500 MHz and a boost clock of 1725 MHz, paired with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. These specifications directly influence the performance deltas observed across settings and resolutions in Undisputed.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is the most critical factor in this game's Ultra preset performance. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS collapses to 54, a 33 FPS drop from 4K High. This steep decline suggests that the Ultra preset pushes texture and geometry data beyond what 8 GB can efficiently cache, forcing the GPU to manage memory pressure. The 1080p Ultra result of 118 FPS compared to 1080p High at 183 FPS reinforces this interpretation, as the Ultra preset's additional demands impact performance even at lower pixel counts.

The memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s appears sufficient for the High preset across all resolutions, but the Ultra preset exposes its limitations. The gap between High and Ultra at 4K is 30 FPS (84 to 54), while at 1080p the gap is 65 FPS (183 to 118). This disproportionate drop at higher resolutions indicates that the combination of VRAM capacity and bandwidth becomes increasingly strained as pixel count grows.

The GPU's 5888 shading units and 184 texture mapping units provide substantial compute throughput, reflected in the 20.31 TFLOPS FP32 performance. This raw compute power explains why the GPU can maintain 141 FPS at 4K Low, where texture and shading demands are reduced but pixel fill requirements remain high. The 96 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 165.6 GPixel/s, which is adequate for 4K at lower settings but insufficient for Ultra quality at that resolution.

The RTX 3070's 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores are present but do not appear to be heavily utilized in this sports title, based on the linear scaling patterns across settings. The GPU's 220 W TDP and dual-slot design indicate a power envelope that allows sustained boost clocks, contributing to the stable frame times observed in the Medium preset min/max data.

Benchmark data places this GPU in the 61st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17208. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, scores 17083, a 0.7% difference. This marginal separation in synthetic tests aligns with the measured FPS results, which show the GPU performing consistently within its expected performance class.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the Medium preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combo. At 1080p Medium, the system produces 221 FPS average with a minimum of 188 FPS, ensuring no drops below 144Hz. At 1440p Medium, the 160 FPS average with a 136 FPS minimum keeps gameplay above 144Hz for most of the session. At 4K Medium, the 101 FPS average with an 86 FPS minimum provides a smooth experience on 60Hz or 75Hz displays.

The High preset is the recommended choice for players prioritizing visual fidelity over maximum frame rates. At 1080p High, the 183 FPS average supports high refresh rate monitors without compromise. At 1440p High, the 132 FPS average is suitable for 120Hz displays but will not fully saturate 144Hz panels. At 4K High, the 84 FPS average delivers a solid console-like experience on 60Hz TVs.

The Low preset should be reserved for competitive play where frame rate is paramount. The 308 FPS at 1080p Low and 222 FPS at 1440p Low provide maximum responsiveness, though the visual downgrade may hinder visibility in a boxing game where character models and animations are central. The 141 FPS at 4K Low is a viable option for players who own 4K high refresh rate monitors and prefer performance over quality.

The Ultra preset is not recommended for this combination. While 1080p Ultra at 118 FPS is playable and 1440p Ultra at 85 FPS is acceptable, the 4K Ultra result of 54 FPS falls below the 60 FPS standard. The lack of min/max data for Ultra settings across all resolutions suggests potential instability that could manifest as frame drops during gameplay.
