GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the dominant component in this configuration, and its specifications directly explain the frame rates observed. The GPU operates with a base clock of 2235 MHz and a boost clock of 2520 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). This Ada Lovelace architecture chip contains 16,384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs, along with 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores.

The memory subsystem is particularly relevant for Undisputed, a sports title that requires rapid texture streaming and consistent frame pacing. The 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus provides 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for the game's asset demands at any resolution. The GPU's 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power and 1,290.2 GTexel/s texture rate ensure that even the most complex scenes with multiple fighters and crowd animations are rendered without bottlenecking.

The benchmark results show a clear pattern: at 4K Ultra, the GPU is pushed to its limits, producing 93 FPS. However, the RTX 4090's immense compute resources mean that even at this demanding setting, the frame rate remains highly playable. The card's 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs and its Passmark G3D score of 38,194 confirm its top-tier status, though the nearest rival comparisons in the database show relatively small average score deltas (ranging from -2.5% to +2.9%), indicating that the RTX 4090's real-world advantage is most pronounced in specific gaming workloads rather than synthetic averages.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data reveals that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all resolutions, primarily because it is the only setting level with complete min/max FPS measurements. At 1920x1080 Medium, the combo delivers an average of 381 FPS with a minimum of 324 and maximum of 438. At 2560x1440 Medium, the average drops to 275 FPS with a range of 234 to 317. At 4K Medium, the average is 174 FPS with a range of 148 to 200.

For players prioritizing maximum visual fidelity, the Ultra preset remains viable at every resolution. The 4K Ultra score of 93 FPS is still smooth, and the 1440p Ultra score of 147 FPS provides an excellent high-refresh-rate experience. However, the data suggests that the High preset strikes the best visual-to-performance ratio for most users: it delivers 315 FPS at 1080p, 228 FPS at 1440p, and 144 FPS at 4K. These figures indicate that High settings can drive 144Hz displays at 4K and 240Hz displays at 1440p without compromise.

The Low preset produces exceptionally high frame rates (530 FPS at 1080p, 383 FPS at 1440p, 242 FPS at 4K) but sacrifices visual quality. Given that even Ultra settings maintain playable frame rates, the Low preset is only recommended for competitive scenarios where maximum responsiveness is paramount, though the differences between Medium and Low are marginal in terms of playability. The absence of min/max data for High and Ultra settings suggests these presets were tested under stable conditions, whereas Medium's recorded variance (e.g., 324-438 FPS at 1080p) indicates typical frame time fluctuations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo demonstrates extraordinary performance. The Low preset achieves an average of 530 FPS, which drops to 381 FPS at Medium (min 324, max 438), 315 FPS at High, and 203 FPS at Ultra. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a performance cost of roughly 62% when moving from the lowest to highest quality settings.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern persists with reduced absolute numbers. Low produces 383 FPS average, Medium delivers 275 FPS (min 234, max 317), High reaches 228 FPS, and Ultra settles at 147 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p results in an average FPS reduction of approximately 28% across all settings, which is consistent with the increased pixel count of 78% (from 2.07 million to 3.69 million pixels) being partially offset by the GPU's massive bandwidth.

At 3840x2160, performance remains strong but shows the expected impact of 4K rendering (8.29 million pixels). The Low preset averages 242 FPS, Medium averages 174 FPS (min 148, max 200), High averages 144 FPS, and Ultra averages 93 FPS. The 4K to 1080p ratio reveals that the RTX 4090 loses approximately 54% of its 1080p performance when moving to 4K at Low settings, while the loss is about 54% at Ultra as well, indicating a consistent scaling pattern.

The Medium preset's min FPS values are notable: at 1080p, the minimum of 324 FPS still exceeds the maximum FPS of most other configurations, and even at 4K, the 148 FPS minimum ensures no drops below 144Hz refresh rates. This consistency makes Medium the most predictable preset for competitive play.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F + RTX 4090 combination ranks 123rd out of 2,813 tested configurations in Undisputed, placing it in the top 4.4% of all tested hardware pairings. This ranking reflects the synergistic balance between the CPU's strong single-thread performance and the GPU's overwhelming compute advantage.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 69,996 places it in the 94th percentile of all processors. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (score 69,875, delta 0.2%), the Intel Core i7-14700KF (score 70,163, delta -0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (score 69,515, delta 0.7%), and the Intel Core i7-14700K (score 69,355, delta 0.9%). These deltas are all within 1%, indicating that the 9700F is positioned at the very top of mainstream desktop CPU performance, though not the absolute fastest in synthetic benchmarks.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 60,347 places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals show a curious pattern: the Intel Arc Pro A60 matches exactly (delta 0%), while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 is 0.3% behind, the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% ahead, and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is 2.9% behind. These workstation-oriented GPUs appear in the nearest rivals list due to similar average scores, but their real-world gaming performance would differ substantially from the RTX 4090's 82.58 TFLOPS compute capability.

The combo's 123rd rank out of 2,813 indicates that while this is not the absolute fastest configuration ever tested, it sits in the top tier. The fact that it achieves 4K Ultra at 93 FPS and 1080p Low at 530 FPS demonstrates that this pairing has no meaningful bottleneck in Undisputed.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F brings 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process. Its base clock of 3.80 GHz and boost clock of 5.50 GHz provide strong single-thread performance, evidenced by a Passmark single-thread score of 4,691. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 per core (80 KB L1 per core) ensure that game logic and physics calculations are handled without introducing frame time spikes.

In Undisputed, a sports title that relies on real-time physics for fighter interactions and crowd simulation, the CPU's multithreaded capabilities are relevant. The Passmark multithread score of 36,470 and floating-point math score of 77,955 indicate that the 8-core/16-thread configuration can handle the game's simulation thread load. The integer math score of 120,788 and extended instructions score of 33,688 further support the CPU's ability to process game state updates efficiently.

However, the measured FPS data suggests that the CPU is rarely the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, where GPU load is minimized, the 530 FPS average demonstrates that the 9700F can feed the RTX 4090 with sufficient draw calls and game state updates. The CPU's 94th percentile ranking and its tight deltaPct against the Ryzen 9 7940HX (0.2%) and Core i7-14700KF (-0.2%) indicate that this processor is not holding back the GPU in this title.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s via dual-channel DDR5 and PCIe Gen 5 support (24 CPU lanes) provide ample data transfer capacity. The 65W TDP and active production status suggest this is a mainstream part, but its performance profile places it firmly in enthusiast territory. The 8,315 million transistors on a 70.6 mm² die make for a dense, efficient design that excels in latency-sensitive workloads like game simulation.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the expected pattern of a GPU-bound configuration, with the RTX 4090's raw compute power being the primary determinant of frame rates. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 530 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low reduces this to 383 FPS (a 27.7% drop), and 4K Low further reduces it to 242 FPS (a 36.8% drop from 1440p, or 54.3% from 1080p). These reductions are consistent with the pixel count increases: 1080p has 2.07 million pixels, 1440p has 3.69 million (1.78x), and 4K has 8.29 million (2.25x from 1440p).

At Ultra settings, the scaling is slightly steeper. 1080p Ultra yields 203 FPS, 1440p Ultra drops to 147 FPS (27.6% reduction), and 4K Ultra falls to 93 FPS (36.7% reduction from 1440p, 54.2% from 1080p). This near-identical percentage scaling between Low and Ultra settings suggests that the game's rendering pipeline scales linearly with pixel count regardless of quality level, which is typical for a DirectX 12 title where the GPU is the dominant bottleneck.

The data indicates that the CPU's role becomes more prominent at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 530 FPS average approaches the limit of what the CPU can feed, given its 5.50 GHz boost clock and 4,691 single-thread score. At 4K Ultra, the 93 FPS result shows the GPU is fully saturated, as the 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is being consumed by the rendering workload.

The Medium preset's min/max data provides additional insight: at 1080p, the 324-438 FPS range shows a 35% spread, while at 1440p the 234-317 FPS range shows a 35.5% spread, and at 4K the 148-200 FPS range shows a 35.1% spread. This consistent variance across resolutions indicates that frame time fluctuations are proportional to the average FPS, suggesting a stable GPU-limited scenario rather than CPU-induced stutter. The 4K Medium minimum of 148 FPS is particularly impressive, as it guarantees smooth gameplay on 144Hz displays even during the most demanding in-game moments.
