Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a performance profile in Undisputed that is heavily dictated by resolution and preset. The dataset shows a combo that is exceptionally capable at 1080p and 1440p, but which encounters a significant frame rate ceiling at 4K Ultra settings. This analysis breaks down the measured results, contextualizes the hardware's role, and provides actionable settings guidance based solely on the provided figures.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable scaling pattern as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the performance drop is heavily influenced by the graphics preset. At Low settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 results in an average frame rate drop from 359 FPS to 164 FPS, a reduction of 195 FPS. This indicates that even at 4K, the workload is not saturating the GPU's capabilities, as the frame rate remains exceptionally high.

At Medium settings, the scaling is more pronounced. The average FPS falls from 258 at 1080p to 118 at 4K, with the 1440p result landing at 187 FPS. The minimum FPS at 4K Medium is recorded at 100, suggesting that while the average is high, there are transient dips that could be noticeable on a high-refresh-rate display. The High preset shows a similar trend: 214 FPS at 1080p, 154 FPS at 1440p, and 98 FPS at 4K. This progression suggests a roughly 50% reduction in average FPS when moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings.

The Ultra preset presents the most dramatic scaling curve. Average FPS drops from 137 at 1080p to 99 at 1440p, and then plummets to 63 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only sub-100 FPS average in the entire dataset. This steep decline from 1440p to 4K at Ultra settings strongly indicates that the rendering load at this combination is becoming a significant bottleneck. The data suggests that while the RTX 3080 can handle the game at 1440p Ultra comfortably, the jump to 4K Ultra pushes the GPU to its limits, resulting in a frame rate that is only 46% of the 1080p Ultra score. This scaling behavior points to the GPU being the primary limiting component at higher resolutions, particularly when the most demanding preset is active.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the comprehensive database of tested hardware combinations for Undisputed, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 7 9700F and RTX 3080 holds a combo rank of 764 out of 2813 tested combos. This places the configuration in the top 27% of all recorded systems, indicating a strong overall performance tier. The rank reflects the aggregate performance across all tested settings and resolutions, and it underscores that this is a high-end combination capable of delivering a superior gaming experience relative to the vast majority of other systems in the database.

The ranking context is further illuminated by the individual component benchmarks. The CPU's Passmark average score of 69,996 places it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rivals being the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (deltaPct 0.2), Intel Core i7-14700KF (deltaPct -0.2), AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (deltaPct 0.7), and Intel Core i7-14700K (deltaPct 0.9). This indicates the processor is performing at the very top tier of available hardware. The GPU, with a Passmark G3D score of 25,086, sits in the 68th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA P106-100 (deltaPct -0.3), AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 (deltaPct -0.3), and AMD Radeon RX 6600M (deltaPct -0.4). The combination of a top-6% CPU with a solidly upper-mid-range GPU results in the observed 764th rank, suggesting that the GPU is the more limiting factor in determining the combo's position relative to systems with even more powerful graphics cards.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is a decisive factor in the measured frame rates. Its specifications include 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1440 MHz and a boost clock of 1710 MHz, with a memory clock of 1188 MHz (effective 19 Gbps). These specifications are directly relevant to the performance seen in Undisputed.

The benchmark results show that the RTX 3080 is capable of producing extremely high frame rates at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, it pushes an average of 359 FPS, and at 1440p Low, it still manages 259 FPS. This suggests that at these settings, the GPU is not the primary bottleneck. However, the 4K Ultra result of 63 FPS reveals a hard performance ceiling. This is likely due to the combination of the high pixel count and the demanding effects of the Ultra preset exhausting the GPU's compute and memory resources. The 10 GB VRAM capacity, while substantial, may also be a contributing factor at 4K Ultra if the game's texture and geometry data approach this limit, although the provided data does not explicitly confirm VRAM usage.

The GPU's benchmark scores further contextualize its role. Its Passmark G3D score of 25,086 and its percentile ranking of 68 indicate that while it is a powerful card, it is not at the absolute top of the performance hierarchy. The data shows that the RTX 3080 provides a very strong foundation for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p across all settings, but it is the component that ultimately limits performance at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate drops to a level more suited for 60 Hz displays.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following table and analysis detail the exact average FPS measurements for every resolution and settings combination in the dataset.

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 359 FPS average.
• Medium: 258 FPS average, with a minimum of 219 and maximum of 297 FPS.
• High: 214 FPS average.
• Ultra: 137 FPS average.

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 259 FPS average.
• Medium: 187 FPS average, with a minimum of 159 and maximum of 215 FPS.
• High: 154 FPS average.
• Ultra: 99 FPS average.

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 164 FPS average.
• Medium: 118 FPS average, with a minimum of 100 and maximum of 136 FPS.
• High: 98 FPS average.
• Ultra: 63 FPS average.

The data shows a consistent pattern: for each resolution, the average FPS drops sequentially as the preset moves from Low to Medium to High to Ultra. The medium preset is the only one that provides minimum and maximum FPS values, showing a range of roughly 70-80 FPS between the minimum and maximum at each resolution (e.g., 1080p: 219-297; 1440p: 159-215; 4K: 100-136). This variance suggests that the game has moments of significantly higher load that can cause frame time spikes, even at Medium settings. The Ultra preset results are the most telling, as they show the largest relative drop from the High preset, particularly at 4K where the average FPS falls below 100.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge), with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. It features a 32 MB shared L3 cache and supports DDR5 memory. Its benchmark performance is exceptional, with a Passmark single-thread score of 4,691 and a multithread score of 36,470. The CPU's percentile ranking of 94 and its average benchmark score of 69,996 place it among the fastest consumer processors available.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role appears to be that of a capable and non-limiting partner to the GPU, except in the most GPU-bound scenarios. The extremely high frame rates at 1080p Low (359 FPS) and 1440p Low (259 FPS) suggest that the processor is more than capable of feeding the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations at these levels. The fact that the frame rate scales so dramatically with resolution and settings indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck in most configurations. Even at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 63, the CPU's strong single-thread performance likely prevents it from being the cause of the frame rate collapse, which is more attributable to the GPU's rendering load.

The CPU's benchmark data supports this interpretation. Its Passmark integer math score of 120,788 and floating point math score of 77,955 demonstrate high computational throughput. The data compression score of 421,988 and encryption score of 21,488 further highlight its versatility. Given that the nearest rivals to the CPU are all high-end models like the Ryzen 9 7950X and Core i7-14700K, with deltas of less than 1%, it is clear that the 9700F is not a weak link in this system. The measured FPS data confirms that the CPU provides ample headroom, as the performance difference between resolution presets is overwhelmingly driven by the GPU's capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the user's display and performance targets.

For users with a 1080p 144Hz monitor, the High preset is the clear recommendation. It delivers an average of 214 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate and provides a smooth, responsive experience. The Ultra preset at 137 FPS is also viable for 144Hz displays, offering higher visual fidelity while still maintaining a frame rate above the 144 FPS threshold.

For 1440p displays, the High preset is the best balance of visual quality and performance. The 154 FPS average is ideal for 144Hz monitors, and the drop to Ultra (99 FPS) is significant enough that the visual gains may not justify the 55 FPS loss. The Medium preset at 187 FPS is the choice for users with 165Hz or 240Hz monitors who prioritize frame rate above all else.

For 4K displays, the High preset is the most sensible choice, providing an average of 98 FPS. This is suitable for 60Hz displays and even offers headroom for 100Hz+ panels. The Ultra preset, at 63 FPS, is only recommended for users with 60Hz displays who prioritize maximum graphical fidelity over frame rate consistency. The Medium preset at 118 FPS is the best option for 4K users with 120Hz displays, offering a significant frame rate boost over High with a modest reduction in visual settings.

In summary, the data suggests that the High preset is the "sweet spot" for this hardware combination across all resolutions, providing a high frame rate that is playable on both 60Hz and 144Hz displays. The Ultra preset is best reserved for 1080p or for users willing to accept lower frame rates for maximum visual quality at 1440p and 4K.
