Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination delivers exceptionally high frame rates in Undisputed, with the data indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides ample headroom at 1080p. This pairing ranks in the top 10% of all tested combos for this title, making it a formidable setup for high-refresh-rate play.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) using a 4nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, backed by a 32 MB shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core. For a sports title like Undisputed, the high boost clock is particularly relevant, as the game's core logic—player movement, physics interactions, and AI decisions—often relies on single-threaded performance. The PassMark single-thread score of 4691 underscores this strength, placing the CPU in the 94th percentile of all processors.

In the context of this game, the CPU's 8 cores are more than sufficient to handle the simulation overhead. The PassMark multithread score of 36470 and an average benchmark score of 69996 indicate that even when the game engine spawns multiple worker threads for things like crowd simulation or match physics, the 9700F will not be a limiting factor. The data supports this: at 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 451 FPS. This massive frame rate at the lowest resolution and settings suggests the CPU is feeding the GPU efficiently without creating a bottleneck, as the workload is light enough for the graphics card to run at maximum throughput.

However, the CPU's role becomes more nuanced when considering its rivals. The nearest rivals by average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (0.2% faster), the Intel Core i7-14700KF (0.2% slower), the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (0.7% faster), and the Intel Core i7-14700K (0.9% faster). These deltas are minuscule, indicating that the 9700F is effectively performance-equivalent to these top-tier chips in general compute tasks. For Undisputed, this means that swapping between these CPUs would yield virtually identical frame rates, as the game is unlikely to be CPU-bound at the resolutions tested. The 65W TDP is also notable; despite its high boost clock, the chip maintains power efficiency comparable to much higher-TDP rivals, which can influence sustained performance in long gaming sessions.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is the dominant component in this pairing, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture (GB203 chip) using a 5nm process. It features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's base clock is 2295 MHz with a boost clock of 2452 MHz, and it contains 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. For a modern sports game with high-resolution textures and detailed character models, the 16 GB VRAM capacity is a significant asset, ensuring that texture data can reside locally without stuttering or pop-in.

The GPU's role in Undisputed is clearly the primary driver of frame rates, especially at higher settings. Benchmark results show a clear scaling pattern that points to GPU-bound performance. At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 79 FPS, while at 4K High it jumps to 123 FPS, and at 4K Low it reaches 206 FPS. This spread of 127 FPS between Ultra and Low at the same resolution demonstrates that the RTX 5070 Ti's shading units and memory bandwidth are being taxed heavily by the game's visual effects. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 32974 and its 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirm its high-end positioning, though the nearest rivals show interesting dynamics.

The nearest rivals by average benchmark score include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 (-0.1% slower), the Intel Arc A550M (0.4% faster), the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (-2% slower), and the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (3.1% faster). The fact that the RX 6800 XT is 3.1% faster in aggregate benchmarks is worth noting, but in Undisputed, the specific workload favors the RTX 5070 Ti's architecture. The 70 RT cores and 280 Tensor cores are not directly relevant for a standard rasterized sports title, but the raw FP32 throughput of 43.94 TFLOPS provides the computational muscle needed for high-detail rendering. The 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is also critical at 4K, where the GPU must stream vast amounts of texture and geometry data; this is reflected in the 148 FPS at 4K Medium, which shows the GPU can still maintain high frame rates when settings are moderated.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data reveals a classic resolution scaling curve that shifts the bottleneck from the CPU to the GPU as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 451 FPS; at 1440p Low, it drops to 326 FPS; and at 4K Low, it falls to 206 FPS. This represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings. The pattern is similar at High settings: 269 FPS at 1080p, 194 FPS at 1440p, and 123 FPS at 4K—a 54% drop as well. This consistent proportional decline across settings strongly indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at all resolutions, as the pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K, and the frame rate halves accordingly.

The Medium settings rows provide the most granular data, with minimum and maximum FPS recorded. At 1080p Medium, the combo averages 325 FPS with a range of 276 to 373 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 234 FPS with a range of 199 to 270 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 148 FPS with a range of 126 to 171 FPS. The frametime variance, as indicated by the delta between min and max FPS, is relatively consistent across resolutions, suggesting that the GPU is handling the workload uniformly without sudden spikes or drops. The fact that the 1080p Low result of 451 FPS is not significantly higher relative to the 1080p Medium result of 325 FPS (a 39% increase) suggests that even at 1080p, the GPU is still the primary constraint; if the CPU were limiting, we would expect a much smaller gap between Low and Medium at the same resolution.

This scaling behavior has practical implications. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at any given setting is roughly 28%, which is less than the 50% pixel count increase, indicating that the GPU has some headroom in terms of memory bandwidth and shading capacity. However, the drop from 1440p to 4K is also roughly 35-37%, which aligns more closely with the pixel doubling. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is approaching its limits, particularly with the 16 GB VRAM being heavily utilized. Overall, the data shows that the RTX 5070 Ti is the workhorse, with the 9700F providing stable support without introducing frame pacing issues.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 276th out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 9.8% of all configurations, which is a strong result given the vast array of hardware pairings evaluated. The percentile position indicates that this combo outperforms the vast majority of systems tested, with only 275 combos achieving higher average frame rates across the tested resolutions and settings.

Interpreting this rank requires context. The combo's performance is driven almost entirely by the RTX 5070 Ti, as the GPU's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs is the higher of the two components. The CPU's 94th percentile ranking is impressive, but since the game is GPU-bound, the GPU's performance ceiling dictates the overall combo rank. The fact that the combo ranks 276th, which is better than the GPU's individual 86th percentile, suggests that the CPU is not holding back the GPU at all, allowing the RTX 5070 Ti to operate at its full potential. If the CPU were a bottleneck, we would expect the combo rank to be lower than the GPU's percentile rank.

Comparing to the nearest rival combos is not directly possible from the data, as the comboRankInGame field only provides the rank and total count. However, the CPU and GPU nearest rivals give an indication of what other combos might be close in performance. For instance, a combo with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (0.7% faster CPU) and an AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (3.1% faster GPU) would likely rank higher, but the delta is small. The data suggests that this combo is well-balanced, with no single component dragging down the other, making it a reliable choice for high-refresh-rate gaming in Undisputed.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target refresh rate and resolution. The data provides clear guidance for each resolution tier.

At 1080p, the combo is capable of exceeding 240 Hz at Medium settings (325 FPS) and even reaching 173 FPS at Ultra. For competitive play on a 240Hz or 360Hz monitor, the Medium preset is the best choice, as it delivers 325 FPS with a minimum of 276 FPS, ensuring no drops below the refresh rate. The High preset at 269 FPS is also viable for 240Hz displays, but the Medium preset offers a 21% higher average frame rate with the same visual quality trade-off. The Ultra preset at 173 FPS is only suitable for 144Hz displays, as it does not maintain a high enough frame rate for 240Hz without occasional dips.

At 1440p, the Medium preset delivers 234 FPS, which is ideal for 240Hz monitors. The High preset at 194 FPS is better suited for 165Hz or 180Hz displays, providing a smoother experience than Medium on lower-refresh-rate panels. The Ultra preset at 125 FPS is a solid choice for 120Hz displays, but the drop from Medium to Ultra is 47%, which is significant. For the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate at 1440p, the High preset is recommended, as it maintains 194 FPS while offering better graphics than Medium.

At 4K, the situation changes. The Medium preset at 148 FPS is the sweet spot for 144Hz displays, as it provides a high frame rate with a minimum of 126 FPS, which is above the 120Hz threshold. The High preset at 123 FPS is also viable for 120Hz displays, but the Medium preset offers a 20% higher average frame rate. The Ultra preset at 79 FPS is only suitable for 60Hz displays, and the Low preset at 206 FPS, while fast, sacrifices too much visual quality for a sports game where character models and arena details matter. Therefore, for 4K, the Medium preset is the recommended choice, as it balances the GPU's workload with the 16 GB VRAM capacity to deliver a smooth and visually acceptable experience.
