This combo sits at the top of the leaderboard for Undisputed, ranking #1 out of 2,813 tested combinations. The pairing of an AMD Ryzen 7 9700F with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D produces frame rates that are nothing short of dominant across every resolution and preset tested, with even the most demanding 4K Ultra configuration maintaining triple-digit averages. The data reveals a system where the CPU's strong multi-threaded throughput complements a GPU with massive memory bandwidth, creating a platform that leaves little performance on the table at any setting.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is built on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) using a 4 nm process at TSMC, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock runs at 3.80 GHz with a boost clock reaching 5.50 GHz, which gives it strong single-threaded responsiveness — a key trait for a sports title that needs to track player animations and physics in real time. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache helps keep frequently accessed game data close to the cores, reducing latency during fast-paced exchanges.

In PassMark benchmarks, the 9700F achieves a single-thread score of 4,691 and a multithread score of 36,470, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals show how tight the competition is at this level: the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69,875 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i7-14700KF scores 70,163 (0.2% higher), the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69,515 (0.7% lower), and the Intel Core i7-14700K scores 69,355 (0.9% lower). These small deltas suggest that for Undisputed, the 9700F is performing right in line with its peers — but the game's measured FPS shows it's not the bottleneck.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and 89.6 GB/s dual-channel DDR5 memory bandwidth mean it can feed the GPU efficiently without power constraints. With a PassMark data compression score of 421,988 and integer math at 120,788, the 9700F handles the kind of background tasks and game logic that Undisputed throws at it. The floating-point math score of 77,955 also indicates solid physics computation capability, which matters in a boxing game where hit reactions and ragdoll effects are frequent. The 9700F's 8-core, 16-thread layout is more than adequate for a sports title that rarely scales beyond a few threads, yet it still delivers the headroom needed for smooth frame pacing at high refresh rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). At 1080p, the combo delivers extraordinary performance: Low averages 578 FPS, Medium averages 416 FPS (with a minimum of 354 and maximum of 478), High averages 344 FPS, and Ultra averages 222 FPS. These numbers show that even at the highest quality preset, the frame rate is nearly four times the refresh rate of a standard 60 Hz monitor.

Moving to 1440p, the performance remains exceptionally high. Low settings produce 418 FPS average, Medium drops to 301 FPS (min 256, max 346), High averages 249 FPS, and Ultra still maintains 160 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a reduction of about 28% for Low (from 578 to 418 FPS), 27% for Medium (416 to 301), 28% for High (344 to 249), and 28% for Ultra (222 to 160). This consistent reduction indicates that the GPU is handling the additional pixel load in a predictable manner.

At 4K (3840x2160), the combo still delivers playable frame rates across all settings. Low averages 264 FPS, Medium averages 190 FPS (min 162, max 219), High averages 157 FPS, and Ultra averages 101 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is steeper: Low falls 37% (418 to 264), Medium falls 37% (301 to 190), High falls 37% (249 to 157), and Ultra falls 37% (160 to 101). This uniform percentage drop across settings at each resolution step suggests that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary factors, with the CPU maintaining consistent performance.

The minimum FPS values for Medium settings (354 at 1080p, 256 at 1440p, 162 at 4K) show that even the lowest frame rates remain well above 60 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay without stutters. The maximum FPS values (478 at 1080p, 346 at 1440p, 219 at 4K) indicate that the combo can push far beyond average figures in less demanding scenes, providing headroom for competitive play.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process at TSMC, featuring 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output units. Its base clock runs at 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, and memory operates at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) across a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The 32 GB of GDDR7 memory is far more than Undisputed requires, but it ensures no texture or asset loading bottlenecks even at 4K Ultra.

In PassMark benchmarks, the RTX 5090 D achieves a G3D score of 44,065 and a GPU compute score of 28,396, placing it in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals show a mixed picture: the AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT scores 76,904 (1.1% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78,940 (1.6% lower), the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB scores 79,396 (2.1% lower), and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79,605 (2.4% lower). These deltas are small, but the RTX 5090 D's 1.79 TB/s bandwidth and 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 performance give it an edge in pixel-heavy workloads like Undisputed's rendering.

The GPU's 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), which allows for advanced visual effects if the game uses them. The 423.6 GPixel/s pixel rate and 1,636.8 GTexel/s texture rate explain why the combo maintains high FPS even at 4K where pixel counts quadruple from 1080p. The 575 W TDP and 950 W suggested PSU indicate this is a power-hungry card, but the dual-slot design with 1x 16-pin connector makes it manageable in most high-end systems.

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

For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset at 222 FPS average is the clear recommendation. At this resolution, the combo has so much headroom that even the most demanding settings produce frame rates far beyond any current display's refresh rate (even 240 Hz panels would be saturated). The High preset at 344 FPS offers no practical benefit unless the user is running an esports-grade 360 Hz monitor, but the visual quality trade-off from Ultra to High is likely not worth the extra FPS.

At 1440p, the Ultra preset at 160 FPS average is still the best choice for visual fidelity, as it remains above the 144 Hz refresh rate common on high-end monitors. The Medium preset at 301 FPS would only be necessary for users with 240 Hz or 360 Hz displays who prioritize frame rate over image quality, but the difference between Medium and Ultra in a sports title like Undisputed is likely minimal. The High preset at 249 FPS offers a middle ground that exceeds 240 Hz displays while retaining more visual detail than Medium.

For 4K, the situation changes. The Ultra preset at 101 FPS is suitable for 60 Hz and 120 Hz displays, but users with 144 Hz or higher displays might prefer the High preset at 157 FPS. The Medium preset at 190 FPS is also a strong option for high refresh rate 4K gaming, though it sacrifices visual quality. The Low preset at 264 FPS is only recommended for competitive play where every millisecond matters, as the visual downgrade is substantial at 4K. Overall, the High preset at 4K (157 FPS) offers the best balance of visual quality and frame rate for most users, while Ultra (101 FPS) is ideal for cinematic single-player experiences.

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

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear pattern: at each resolution step (1080p to 1440p, then 1440p to 4K), the average FPS drops by approximately 28% and 37%, respectively, across all settings. This consistent percentage reduction suggests that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the pixel count increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p (2.07 million to 3.69 million pixels) and by 125% from 1440p to 4K (3.69 million to 8.29 million pixels), yet the frame rate drops less proportionally — indicating the GPU's bandwidth and compute capabilities are scaling efficiently.

Specifically, at Low settings, FPS drops from 578 at 1080p to 418 at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 264 at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). At Ultra settings, FPS drops from 222 at 1080p to 160 at 1440p (28% reduction) and then to 101 at 4K (37% reduction). This uniform behavior across all settings implies that the RTX 5090 D's 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth and 104.8 TFLOPS compute are being utilized consistently, with no sudden bottlenecks as resolution increases.

The fact that the combo still achieves 101 FPS at 4K Ultra — the most demanding configuration — indicates that neither the CPU nor GPU is severely limiting at that point. The CPU's single-thread score of 4,691 and multithread score of 36,470 are sufficient to keep the GPU fed even at low resolutions where CPU load is relatively higher. The 9700F's 5.50 GHz boost clock ensures that game logic and physics updates happen quickly, while the RTX 5090 D's massive pixel rate handles the rendering load. This balance is why the combo ranks #1 in Undisputed: it delivers over 100 FPS at 4K Ultra and over 500 FPS at 1080p Low, proving that this pairing has no weak link in its performance chain.
