Undisputed

Undisputed, the boxing title released in 2023, presents a demanding workload that scales significantly with both resolution and graphical fidelity. On the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 combination, the measured data reveals a clear performance hierarchy across the tested presets, making the optimal settings choice heavily dependent on the user's display resolution and refresh rate target. The benchmark results indicate a system capable of delivering high refresh rates at 1080p, but one that requires careful settings management to maintain smooth gameplay at 4K.

Settings Recommendations

The data shows that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an average of 208 FPS, which is only slightly below the Low preset's 290 FPS but represents a substantial quality improvement over Low. The measured minimum of 177 FPS at this setting ensures that even demanding scenes remain comfortably above the 144Hz refresh rate threshold, making this an excellent choice for high-refresh-rate displays. The High preset at 1080p still achieves an impressive 172 FPS average, but the Medium preset provides a more significant performance buffer for consistent frame pacing.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset remains the standout choice, producing an average of 151 FPS with a minimum of 128 FPS. This performance level comfortably supports 144Hz monitors, while the High preset drops to 125 FPS average, which could occasionally dip below the refresh rate in intense combat sequences. The Low preset at 1440p achieves 209 FPS, but the visual compromise is substantial, and the Medium preset's 151 FPS is already sufficiently high for competitive play. For users targeting 165Hz or higher refresh rates, the Low preset becomes necessary, but for standard 144Hz displays, Medium provides the optimal balance of visual quality and smoothness.

The 3840x2160 resolution presents a different challenge. Here, the Medium preset delivers an average of 95 FPS with a minimum of 81 FPS, which is playable but does not fully saturate high-refresh-rate displays. The High preset at 4K drops to 79 FPS average, and the Ultra preset falls to 51 FPS, which introduces noticeable stutter in a fast-paced sports title. For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it maintains a playable frame rate while preserving acceptable visual fidelity. The Low preset at 4K achieves 132 FPS, but the visual downgrade is severe enough that the Medium preset's 95 FPS is generally preferable for most users.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The memory operates at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, while the GPU core runs at a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2497 MHz. These specifications indicate that the RTX 5060 is positioned as a mainstream 1080p and 1440p card, and the measured FPS data in Undisputed confirms this positioning.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a critical factor in this game's performance at higher resolutions. The benchmark data shows a significant drop when moving from 1440p to 4K at the Ultra preset, with average FPS falling from 80 to 51. This 36% reduction suggests that the game's texture requirements at 4K Ultra may be approaching the VRAM limit, causing the GPU to rely on slower memory transfers. The High preset at 4K achieves 79 FPS, which is only slightly lower than the 1440p High result of 125 FPS, indicating that the High preset's texture quality is more manageable for the 8 GB frame buffer. The GPU's 19.18 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 30 RT cores are sufficient for the game's rendering workload, but the VRAM limitation becomes apparent in the most demanding configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling across resolutions reveals the limiting component in this combo. At 1080p with the Low preset, the average FPS is 290, suggesting that the CPU is capable of driving extremely high frame rates. Moving to 1440p at Low reduces the average to 209 FPS, a 28% decrease, while 4K at Low yields 132 FPS, a 37% further reduction. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more load-bound as resolution increases, but the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are sufficient to avoid becoming a primary bottleneck even at 1080p.

The Medium preset tells a similar story. At 1080p, the average is 208 FPS, dropping to 151 FPS at 1440p (27% decrease) and 95 FPS at 4K (37% decrease). The High preset shows 172 FPS at 1080p, 125 FPS at 1440p (27% decrease), and 79 FPS at 4K (37% decrease). This consistent 27% drop from 1080p to 1440p and 37% drop from 1440p to 4K across all presets strongly suggests that the GPU's rendering throughput is the primary constraint. The Ultra preset exhibits a more dramatic scaling, with 111 FPS at 1080p dropping to 80 FPS at 1440p (28% decrease) and 51 FPS at 4K (36% decrease), further confirming the GPU-bound nature of the workload at higher resolutions.

The data indicates that the CPU overhead is well-managed, as the frame rate scaling follows a consistent pattern regardless of settings. The Ryzen 7 9700F's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and high single-thread performance (Passmark single-thread score of 4,691) ensure that the processor can feed the GPU efficiently at all tested resolutions. The 4 nm process node and Zen 5 architecture contribute to the CPU's ability to maintain high throughput without becoming the limiting factor in this title.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is built on the Zen 5 architecture using a 4 nm process at TSMC, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. The base clock of 3.80 GHz can boost up to 5.50 GHz, and the processor carries a 65 W TDP. The 8,315 million transistors are packed into a 70.6 mm² die, and the cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. This configuration delivers strong performance in both single-threaded and multi-threaded workloads, as evidenced by the Passmark scores.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to maintain a stable frame delivery pipeline. The benchmark data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 290 FPS average, which requires the CPU to process game logic, physics, and draw calls at a very high rate. The Passmark physics score of 2,122 and integer math score of 120,788 indicate that the CPU has ample computational headroom for this workload. The data compression score of 421,988 and encryption score of 21,488 further demonstrate the CPU's overall processing capabilities, though these are less directly relevant to gaming performance.

The CPU's 94th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 69,996, places it in a performance tier that is well-matched to the RTX 5060. The nearest rival comparisons show that the Ryzen 7 9700F trades blows with high-end desktop and mobile processors, with the Intel Core i7-14700KF being only 0.2% higher in average score.
