# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 9700F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Undisputed, with the measured data showing this pairing ranks 651st out of 2,813 tested combos, placing it in the top 23% of all configurations. Across the full resolution and settings matrix, the combo never drops below 66 FPS average, indicating a robust experience for a sports title that benefits from high refresh rates. The data reveals a system that is primarily GPU-bound at higher resolutions but becomes increasingly CPU-limited at 1080p, particularly at lower settings where frame rates exceed 370 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, but the magnitude of that drop varies significantly with quality settings. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 223 FPS at 1920x1080 to 161 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 62 FPS, and then to 102 FPS at 3840x2160, another 59 FPS drop. This represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K at High settings, which is substantial but still leaves playable frame rates at every resolution.

The Low settings curve tells a different story about system balance. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo produces 374 FPS average, dropping to 271 FPS at 2560x1440 and 171 FPS at 3840x2160. The 203 FPS difference between 1080p and 4K at Low settings is the largest absolute drop across all quality presets, indicating that at these high frame rates, the CPU's single-thread performance becomes increasingly relevant. The Ryzen 7 9700F's 5.50 GHz boost clock and strong PassMark single-thread score of 4,691 support this interpretation, as the processor must feed frames faster than the RTX 4070 can render them at lower resolutions.

Medium settings show a more moderate scaling curve: 269 FPS at 1080p, 195 FPS at 1440p, and 123 FPS at 2160p. The Ultra preset exhibits the steepest relative decline, with 143 FPS at 1080p, 104 FPS at 1440p, and only 66 FPS at 4K. This 54% reduction from 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra mirrors the High settings scaling almost exactly, suggesting that the RTX 4070's 12 GB GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the game's most demanding visual features saturate the GPU's capabilities.

The min FPS data available for Medium settings across all resolutions shows consistent frame pacing: 229 FPS minimum at 1080p, 165 FPS at 1440p, and 105 FPS at 4K. This narrows the gap between average and minimum frame rates to roughly 15-18% across resolutions, indicating stable performance without significant stuttering or hitches. The 310 FPS maximum at 1080p Medium versus the 142 FPS maximum at 4K Medium further confirms that the RTX 4070's rendering throughput is the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 serves as the primary performance driver in this combo, particularly at higher resolutions and quality settings. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for Undisputed's requirements across all tested configurations. The memory clock of 1,313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) supports the high frame rates observed, especially at 4K where bandwidth demands increase substantially.

The GPU's compute capabilities, including 5,888 shading units, 184 tensor cores, and 46 RT cores, contribute to the strong performance in this sports title. The 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 455.4 GTexel/s texture rate allow the card to handle the game's visual effects efficiently. The boost clock of 2,475 MHz helps maintain high frame rates even at 4K Ultra, where the 66 FPS average represents the GPU's practical limit in this title.

The RTX 4070's benchmark scores provide context for its gaming performance. The PassMark G3D score of 26,927 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3,854 indicate solid DirectX 12 performance, which aligns with the game's demanding Ultra preset. The GPU's 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests that while it is not a top-tier card, it delivers competitive performance in this genre. The measured FPS data confirms this: the GPU handles 4K High at 102 FPS average, proving that it can drive high-refresh-rate displays at 4K with reasonable quality settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F provides substantial processing headroom in this configuration, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge). The CPU's 5.50 GHz boost clock and 3.80 GHz base clock, combined with a 65 W TDP, make it an efficient partner for the RTX 4070. The 32 MB shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 per core help maintain low latency in gameplay scenarios.

The CPU's benchmark results show its strength in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads. The PassMark single-thread score of 4,691 and the integer math score of 120,788 indicate excellent per-core performance, which is crucial for maintaining high frame rates at lower resolutions. The multithread score of 36,470 and floating-point math score of 77,955 demonstrate that the CPU can handle background tasks without impacting game performance.

The 1080p Low result of 374 FPS average highlights the CPU's capability in CPU-bound scenarios. At this resolution and settings level, the game engine's physics and AI computations become the limiting factor, and the Ryzen 7 9700F's strong single-thread performance allows it to feed frames to the GPU faster than the RTX 4070 can render them. However, the data shows that this CPU is not a bottleneck at any tested configuration, as the frame rates scale consistently with GPU load across resolutions and settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data indicates that Medium settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo delivers 269 FPS average with a minimum of 229 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any high-refresh-rate display. At 1440p Medium, the 195 FPS average (min 165) remains well above the threshold for smooth gameplay, while at 4K Medium, the 123 FPS average (min 105) ensures a fluid experience on 120 Hz displays.

For users prioritizing maximum visual fidelity, Ultra settings are viable at 1080p and 1440p, with 143 FPS and 104 FPS averages respectively. However, the 66 FPS average at 4K Ultra suggests that this preset is best avoided at that resolution unless a 60 Hz display is the target. The High preset offers a middle ground, with 223 FPS at 1080p, 161 FPS at 1440p, and 102 FPS at 4K, making it the recommended choice for 4K gaming on high-refresh-rate monitors.

The Low preset delivers extreme frame rates (374 FPS at 1080p, 271 FPS at 1440p, 171 FPS at 4K) but sacrifices visual quality. Given that Medium settings provide substantial quality improvements over Low while maintaining frame rates above 120 FPS at all resolutions, the data suggests that Medium is the optimal starting point. Players with 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitors can confidently select High settings at 1440p, while 4K users should choose between High (102 FPS) and Medium (123 FPS) depending on their refresh rate and visual preferences.
