A: The launch MSRP is 499 USD. This card was released in 2019 and is now marked as end-of-life in the production status.

Settings Recommendations

The data shows a clear trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate across all three resolutions. At 3840x2160, the drop from High to Medium settings yields a gain from 67.7 to 82.6 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra costs 24.9 FPS, landing at 42.8. For 4K displays, High settings provide the best balance: the 67.7 FPS average is comfortably above the 60 FPS playability line, and the visual upgrade over Medium is substantial.

At 2560x1440, High settings deliver 110.3 FPS, which is already well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings at 129.8 FPS offer a 17.7% improvement over High, but the visual compromise may not be worth it for most users. Ultra at 67.8 FPS is still playable, but the 42.5 FPS gap between Ultra and High suggests diminishing returns. For 1440p, High is the recommended preset—it keeps frame rates high while retaining most of the graphical detail.

At 1920x1080, the story shifts. High settings run at 148.7 FPS, which is ample for any 144Hz display. Medium settings at 184.1 FPS and Low at 253.7 FPS are both far beyond what most monitors can display, so the extra frames are wasted. Ultra at 99.4 FPS is the only 1080p preset that dips below 100 FPS, but it remains perfectly smooth. For 1080p users, Ultra is the best choice: it keeps the average above 99 FPS while delivering maximum visual quality. The measured data indicates that this combo is never bottlenecked at 1080p, making the highest preset the clear recommendation.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 985 out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed. That places it in the 62nd percentile of all combos—a solidly mid-pack result. The ranking reflects the pairing of a strong modern CPU with an older mid-range GPU. The CPU's percentile rank is 89 among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile, so the graphics card is the limiting factor in this pairing.

The GPU's nearest rivals help contextualize this ranking. The RTX 2070 SUPER's average score of 22206 is 0.5% lower than the NVIDIA RTX A400's 22307, and 0.9% higher than the GTX TITAN Z's 22006. The RTX 4060 Mobile is 2.3% ahead, while the AMD Radeon RX 5700 is 2.5% behind. These small deltas mean the 2070 SUPER is in a tight cluster of comparable performers, and the combo's rank reflects this competitive mid-range positioning.

The CPU side shows a similar pattern. The Ryzen 7 9700X's average score of 36029 is nearly identical to its closest rivals: the Intel Core i5-14500HX is 0.2% lower, and the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H is 0.4% higher. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 is 0.6% lower, and the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H is 0.8% higher. With such small deltas, the CPU choice has minimal impact on the combo's overall rank in this game. The rank of 985 out of 1580 is therefore driven more by the GPU's mid-tier position than by the CPU's near-top-tier performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured average FPS scales predictably with settings. Low settings produce 114.4 FPS, Medium drops to 82.6, High to 67.7, and Ultra bottoms out at 42.8. The gap between Low and Ultra is 71.6 FPS, indicating that 4K resolution places heavy demands on the GPU. The step from Medium to High costs 14.9 FPS, while the step from High to Ultra costs 24.9 FPS—the largest single-setting penalty at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the numbers are substantially higher. Low settings hit 183.6 FPS, Medium reaches 129.8, High comes in at 110.3, and Ultra drops to 67.8. The delta between Low and Ultra is 115.8 FPS, showing that settings have an outsized impact at this resolution. The jump from High to Ultra costs 42.5 FPS, which is the steepest penalty across any resolution and settings pair. This suggests that Ultra at 1440p pushes the GPU to its limits.

At 1920x1080, the combo shows its strength. Low settings achieve 253.7 FPS, Medium hits 184.1, High reaches 148.7, and Ultra settles at 99.4. The spread from Low to Ultra is 154.3 FPS, the widest of any resolution. Even at Ultra, the frame rate remains above 99 FPS, meaning the 1080p experience is smooth across all presets. The data indicates that the GPU is the bottleneck at 4K, while at 1080p the CPU has more headroom to push higher frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is built on the Turing architecture with a TU104 chip, fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It has 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, along with 40 RT cores and 320 tensor cores. The GPU's base clock is 1605 MHz with a boost clock of 1770 MHz, and its memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across an 8 GB GDDR6 bus with a 256-bit width. This yields a memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU's memory configuration is a limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 42.8, which is below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The 8 GB VRAM capacity is likely strained at 3840x2160 with Ultra settings, as the texture data exceeds what the memory can efficiently handle. The 448.0 GB/s bandwidth provides sufficient throughput for 1440p and 1080p, but the 4K Ultra result indicates the GPU is overwhelmed.

The GPU's compute capabilities are modest by modern standards: 9.062 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 18.12 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1 ratio). The pixel rate of 113.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 283.2 GTexel/s are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K results show the GPU struggling with fill-rate demands. The 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs aligns with these observations: the 2070 SUPER is a capable mid-range card that handles 1080p and 1440p well but falls short at 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is a Zen 5 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, operating at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz. It has a 65W TDP and is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with a die size of 70.6 mm² and 8,315 million transistors. The cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 with dual-channel configuration, offering 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth.

The CPU's benchmark scores show strong single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 4459 single-core and 31588 multi-core. Passmark single-thread score is 4654, and multi-thread is 37161. The 3DMark scores range from 1280 single-thread to 9824 for 16 threads. These results place the CPU at the 89th percentile among all CPUs, indicating it is a high-end processor.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with data. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 253.7 FPS, which suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions. The 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for this sports title, which likely does not scale beyond a handful of threads. The high single-thread score of 4459 in Cinebench R23 helps maintain consistent frame times even in CPU-intensive moments. The CPU's 89th percentile ranking means it is far more capable than the GPU's 65th percentile, so the combo's overall performance in Undisputed is firmly GPU-limited.
