Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern across resolutions, highlighting the relationship between the CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 374 FPS. This is an extremely high frame rate, indicating that the Ryzen 7 9700X’s strong single-threaded performance (evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 1280 and Geekbench single-core score of 3023) is capable of feeding the GPU a massive number of frames. The jump to 2560x1440 at Low settings yields 271 FPS, and 3840x2160 at Low yields 171 FPS. This shows a consistent drop-off as resolution increases.

The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is a 27.5% decrease in FPS (from 374 to 271). The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Low settings is a 36.9% decrease (from 271 to 171). This increasing percentage drop as resolution rises indicates that the GPU becomes more of a limiting factor at higher resolutions, which is expected. At 1080p, the CPU has more headroom to push frames, while at 4K, the GPU’s pixel throughput (158.4 GPixel/s) and memory bandwidth (504.2 GB/s) become the primary constraints.

This pattern is more pronounced at higher settings. Moving from 1080p High (223 FPS) to 1440p High (161 FPS) is a 27.8% drop. Moving from 1440p High to 4K High (102 FPS) is a 36.6% drop. The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and High settings suggests that the scaling is primarily resolution-driven and not settings-driven. The data strongly suggests that the RTX 4070 is the primary limiting component at 4K, while the Ryzen 7 9700X provides ample compute headroom at 1080p and 1440p, preventing a CPU bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The comprehensive FPS data provides a clear picture of the combo’s performance across all settings and resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the combo excels. The Low preset yields an average of 374 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suitable for competitive play on a 360Hz monitor. The Medium preset delivers 269 FPS (with a minimum of 229 and maximum of 310), which is a 28% reduction from Low. The High preset produces 223 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 143 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra is 35.9%, which is significant, indicating that the Ultra preset includes demanding effects that heavily tax the GPU, but the experience remains highly playable.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong. The Low preset averages 271 FPS, still a very high number. The Medium preset averages 195 FPS (min 165, max 224), a 28% drop from Low. The High preset delivers 161 FPS, which is ideal for a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor. The Ultra preset falls to 104 FPS, which is still smooth but shows the increased load. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across all presets, averaging around a 27-28% reduction, which is typical for a resolution increase of this magnitude.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s workload becomes substantial. The Low preset averages 171 FPS, which is still very competitive. The Medium preset averages 123 FPS (min 105, max 142), a 28% drop from Low. The High preset delivers 102 FPS, which is right at the threshold for smooth 4K gaming on a 100Hz display. The Ultra preset, however, drops to 66 FPS, a 35.3% reduction from High. This is a substantial performance hit, and while it is playable, it is not ideal for a high-refresh-rate 4K experience. The data shows that the Medium preset at 4K provides a better balance than High, and High is a better balance than Ultra.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 plays a pivotal role in these results, particularly at higher resolutions. The GPU’s specifications show it is a robust mid-range part. It features 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. Its boost clock is 2475 MHz, and it has a TDP of 200 W. The 12 GB of GDDR6X memory, running on a 192-bit bus, provides a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. These specifications drive the card’s FP32 performance of 29.15 TFLOPS.

In Undisputed, these specifications translate to a GPU that is strong at 1080p and 1440p, but begins to strain at 4K with high settings. The 4K Ultra result of 66 FPS is the clearest indicator of this. The significant drop from 102 FPS at High to 66 FPS at Ultra suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily saturate the GPU’s compute units and memory bandwidth. The GPU’s 46 RT cores and 184 Tensor cores are present for features like ray tracing and DLSS, though the benchmark data does not specify if these are used in the measured frames.

The GPU’s percentile rank of 81 and an average benchmark score of 37648 confirm its position as a solid high-end performer. The fact that it is only 1.3% behind the RTX 4080 Mobile in synthetic benchmarks, while being a desktop part, is notable. However, in this game, the measured FPS is the ultimate truth. The data shows that for a smooth 4K experience, the GPU requires the Medium preset (123 FPS) or High preset (102 FPS). At 1440p, the GPU is so strong that it can handle Ultra at 104 FPS, and at 1080p, it produces over 140 FPS on any preset. The GPU’s role is clearly to provide the rendering horsepower, and it does so effectively up to the 4K High tier.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is a critical enabler for the high frame rates seen at lower resolutions. This 8-core, 16-thread processor is based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) and is manufactured on a 4 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. Its cache structure includes an 80 KB L1 per core, 1 MB L2 per core, and a 32 MB shared L3 cache. This configuration yields excellent single-threaded performance, as seen in its 3dmark_single_thread score of 1280 and Geekbench single-core score of 3023.

In the context of Undisputed, a sports game that likely relies on game logic, physics, and AI calculations, the CPU’s single-thread and multi-thread performance are both relevant. The CPU’s 3dmark_16_threads score of 9824 and 3dmark_max_threads score of 9771 show strong multi-threaded throughput, which helps maintain high minimum frame rates. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 374 FPS, which confirms the CPU’s ability to process game data fast enough to feed the GPU. The CPU’s high IPC (instructions per clock) from the Zen 5 architecture ensures that even at lower resolutions, the CPU does not become a bottleneck.

The CPU’s benchmark scores are nearly identical to its nearest rivals. Its average benchmark score of 37943 is only 0.1% higher than the Intel Core i9-14901E and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. This parity means the CPU is not a differentiating factor when compared to its direct competitors in synthetic tests. However, in this specific game, the CPU’s role is to maintain a high floor for frame rates. The 1080p and 1440p results show that the CPU is more than capable of keeping up with the GPU, ensuring that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU’s 86th percentile rank indicates it is a top-tier processor, and its performance in Undisputed reflects that, providing a stable platform for the RTX 4070 to deliver its maximum potential.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on the optimal settings for different display configurations.

For 1920x1080 displays, the Ultra preset is the recommended choice. The combo delivers an average of 143 FPS, which is more than sufficient for a high-refresh-rate monitor. The drop from High to Ultra is 35.9%, but the resulting frame rate remains above 140 FPS, ensuring a visually rich experience without compromising smoothness. For users with 240Hz or 360Hz panels, dropping to High (223 FPS) or Medium (269 FPS) may be preferable to maximize frame rates, but Ultra is the best balance of visuals and performance for most users.

For 2560x1440 displays, the High preset is the sweet spot. It delivers an average of 161 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz and 165Hz monitors. The Ultra preset at 104 FPS is also viable, but the 35.4% drop in performance from High may not be worth the visual gain for all users. For competitive play where frame rate is paramount, the Medium preset at 195 FPS is an excellent alternative, but the High preset offers a better visual-to-performance ratio.

For 3840x2160 displays, the recommendation is more nuanced. The Medium preset is the best overall choice, providing an average of 123 FPS with a minimum of 105 FPS. This ensures a smooth experience on 120Hz 4K displays. The High preset at 102 FPS is also viable for 100Hz displays, but the Ultra preset at 66 FPS is not recommended for a smooth experience. The data indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, and the Medium preset provides a 20.6% performance uplift over High while still maintaining good visual quality. For users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, High is acceptable, but Medium is the most balanced choice for 4K gaming with this combo.
