Undisputed

Undisputed pairs the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 in a configuration that ranks 908th out of 1,580 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. The measured frame rates across resolutions and presets reveal a system that is surprisingly capable at 1440p and even 4K in this sports title, though the Ultra preset exposes its limits. The data indicates this is a balanced pairing where the CPU’s strength prevents it from bottlenecking the GPU in most scenarios, but the GPU’s 8 GB memory and mid-range compute ultimately define the ceiling for maximum visual fidelity.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Undisputed?

A: The measured data shows 2560x1440 on High preset delivers 116.6 FPS, which is well above the 73.3 FPS seen at 3840x2160 on the same settings. This makes 1440p the sweet spot for balancing visual quality and performance.

Q: How does the Ultra preset compare to High at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 102.7 FPS, while High reaches 164.2 FPS. The drop from High to Ultra represents a significant 61.5 FPS penalty, suggesting Ultra demands substantially more GPU resources.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this game?

A: The data shows the GPU becomes the primary constraint at higher resolutions. While the Ryzen 7 9700X posts strong synthetic scores like 31,588 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, the 4K Ultra result of 45.6 FPS indicates the RTX 4060’s compute limits the system, not the processor.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming in Undisputed?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 4K High, the system averages 73.3 FPS, which is playable. However, 4K Ultra drops to 45.6 FPS, making it borderline for smooth gameplay. Medium at 4K offers 92.6 FPS, providing a viable compromise.

Q: How does the RTX 4060 compare to its nearest rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 4060’s average benchmark score is 23,181, which is 0.7% ahead of the Intel Arc B580 (23,021) and 0.8% ahead of the AMD Radeon 760M (22,999). It trails the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (23,321) by 0.6%.

Q: What is the CPU’s percentile ranking among all processors?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X sits in the 89th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 36,029. This puts it slightly behind the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (36,165) by 0.4% and ahead of the Intel Core i5-14500HX (35,940) by 0.2%.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 operates with a base clock of 1830 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 3,072 shading units. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory runs at 17 Gbps effective across a 128-bit bus, yielding 272.0 GB/s of bandwidth. In Undisputed, these specifications translate to a measurable performance ceiling: the GPU’s FP32 throughput of 15.11 TFLOPS directly correlates with the frame rate differences observed across presets.

The VRAM capacity becomes a critical factor at higher settings. At 4K Ultra, the system averages just 45.6 FPS, which is 27.7 FPS lower than 4K High (73.3 FPS). This sharp decline suggests the 8 GB frame buffer is strained when textures and effects are maxed out, forcing the GPU into memory pressure that reduces throughput. Conversely, the 128-bit memory bus, while narrow, is sufficient for lower presets where data transfer demands are reduced.

The GPU’s role is further clarified by its percentile ranking of 66 among all GPUs, indicating it is a mid-range part. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M (0.6% faster) and the Intel Arc B580 (0.7% slower), which shows the RTX 4060 is competitively positioned but not dominant. In this game, the GPU is the decisive factor for Ultra settings, while the CPU’s strong multi-threaded performance ensures it does not become a bottleneck at lower presets.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data across resolutions shows a clear pattern of scaling that identifies the limiting component. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 270.4 FPS, which drops to 195.8 FPS at 1440p Low and 128 FPS at 4K Low. This represents a 52.7% performance reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that even with minimal graphical load, the GPU is working harder at higher resolutions.

At High settings, the scaling is more pronounced: 164.2 FPS at 1080p falls to 116.6 FPS at 1440p (a 29% drop) and then to 73.3 FPS at 4K (a 55.4% drop from 1440p). The steep decline from 1440p to 4K suggests the GPU’s pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth are becoming saturated, as the resolution increase demands more from the 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling. From 102.7 FPS at 1080p to 76.7 FPS at 1440p and finally 45.6 FPS at 4K, the performance degrades by 55.6% from 1080p to 4K. This pattern indicates that the RTX 4060 is the limiting factor at Ultra, as the CPU’s 16 threads and 32 MB L3 cache provide ample headroom for the game’s physics and AI calculations. The data suggests that resolution scaling in Undisputed is GPU-bound, with the 4K Ultra result falling below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider essential.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 908th out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 42.5th percentile of all configurations. This ranking is modest, reflecting the mid-range nature of both components. The CPU’s 89th percentile standing among all processors is offset by the GPU’s 66th percentile, resulting in a pairing that is stronger in compute than in graphical throughput.

Synthetic benchmarks illustrate this imbalance. The CPU’s average score of 36,029 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (36,165), differing by only 0.4%. In contrast, the GPU’s average score of 23,181 is just 0.7% ahead of the Intel Arc B580 (23,021). When combined, these scores suggest the system excels in CPU-heavy tasks but is constrained by GPU performance in gaming scenarios like Undisputed.

The ranking also reflects the game’s moderate hardware demands. With 1,580 tested combos, the 908th position indicates that many higher-end GPU configurations outperform this pairing at Ultra settings. However, the measured FPS at 1440p High (116.6 FPS) shows the combo is far from inadequate, and its ranking is likely dragged down by the 4K Ultra result of 45.6 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target that many users prioritize.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal experience for this combo in Undisputed is the High preset at 2560x1440, which delivers 116.6 FPS. This combination provides fluid gameplay well above the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining visual fidelity. At 1080p, the High preset reaches 164.2 FPS, offering even higher refresh rates for competitive play, though the 1440p option provides a better balance of sharpness and performance.

For players seeking maximum visual quality, the Medium preset at 4K is the best option, delivering 92.6 FPS. This is a significant improvement over 4K High (73.3 FPS) and far superior to 4K Ultra (45.6 FPS), which is below the playable threshold. The Medium preset at 1440p (142.8 FPS) is also excellent, offering a 26.2 FPS advantage over High at the same resolution.

The Low preset is only recommended for extreme frame rate priorities, such as 1080p gaming on high-refresh monitors, where it achieves 270.4 FPS. However, the visual compromise is substantial, and the data shows that even 4K Low (128 FPS) outperforms 1080p Ultra (102.7 FPS), indicating that resolution is more impactful than preset level on this hardware. For most users, the High preset at 1440p or Medium at 4K represents the best balance of performance and image quality, avoiding the steep penalties of Ultra settings.
