Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination delivers a dominant performance in Undisputed, with benchmark results showing exceptionally high frame rates across all tested settings and resolutions. The data indicates this pairing is well-suited for competitive play, offering headroom that far exceeds the demands of the game at standard display refresh rates.

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

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X is an 8-core, 16-thread processor built on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) using a 4 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, which are significant factors in the frame rates observed. The processor's single-thread performance, measured at 1280 in 3dMark_single_thread and 4459 in Cinebench R23 single-core, directly supports the game's primary thread, ensuring that the simulation and physics calculations do not bottleneck the GPU.

In multi-threaded workloads, the CPU scores 9771 in 3dMark_max_threads and 31588 in Cinebench R23 multicore. While Undisputed is not heavily threaded, the 16 threads provide ample headroom for background tasks and future game updates. The processor's L3 cache of 32 MB shared, combined with an L2 cache of 1 MB per core, helps maintain high memory bandwidth utilization, with a measured DDR5 bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. This memory throughput is critical for feeding the GPU at high frame rates, particularly at 1080p where the CPU's role is more pronounced.

The CPU's average benchmark score is 36029, placing it in the 89th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals show extremely tight competition: it is 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i5-14500HX (35940) and 0.6% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (35802), but 0.4% behind the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H (36165) and 0.8% behind the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H (36328). This indicates that the 9700X is at the very top of its performance class, with no meaningful difference from its closest competitors.

The 65W TDP of the 9700X is notable, as it allows for sustained boost clocks without thermal throttling in most systems. The processor's ability to maintain its 5.50 GHz boost clock under load is reflected in the high frame rates at 1080p, where CPU-bound scenarios are most common. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 415.1 FPS, which is entirely limited by the CPU's single-thread capability; the data suggests the processor is performing at the upper limit of what is possible for this game engine.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with the AD104 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. For Undisputed, a sports title with detailed character models and arena environments, the 12 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient, as evidenced by the high frame rates even at 4K Ultra settings.

The GPU operates with a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). These clocks, combined with 7168 shading units and 56 RT cores, deliver a measured FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS. The GPU's average benchmark score is 42576, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals show a similar tight clustering: it is 0.2% behind the NVIDIA RTX A6000 (42653) and 0.3% behind the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE (42723), while being 1.4% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 580X (41991) and 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA Tesla M40 (41897). This indicates the 4070 SUPER is well-positioned within its performance tier.

The GPU's pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s are key metrics for this game, which relies on texture detail for fighter skins and arena props. The data shows that at 3840x2160 with High settings, the combo achieves 115.7 FPS, which is a strong result for 4K gaming. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s ensures that texture streaming is never a bottleneck, even at the highest resolutions.

The 220W TDP and PCIe 4.0 x16 interface provide consistent power delivery and bandwidth. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support aligns with the game's modern rendering requirements, and the 12 GB VRAM prevents any potential texture swapping issues at Ultra settings. The measured results show that the GPU is not a limiting factor in this combo, as the frame rates scale predictably with resolution changes.

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

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on the optimal settings for different display refresh rates. At 1920x1080, even the most demanding Ultra preset achieves 161.4 FPS, which is sufficient for any high-refresh monitor. The Medium preset at 1080p reaches 300.7 FPS, while Low hits 415.1 FPS. For players with a 144Hz or 165Hz monitor, the High preset at 246.5 FPS offers a balanced experience with improved visual fidelity while still doubling the refresh rate.

At 2560x1440, the High preset delivers 178.1 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz and even 165Hz displays. The Medium preset at 219.4 FPS provides additional headroom for competitive play, while the Ultra preset at 118.7 FPS is still viable for 120Hz monitors. For 1440p users, High is the recommended sweet spot: it offers a 50% improvement over Ultra's frame rate (178.1 vs 118.7) with only a modest reduction in visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the High preset achieves 115.7 FPS, which is excellent for 4K gaming on a 120Hz display. The Medium preset at 136.4 FPS provides even more margin, while the Low preset at 189.8 FPS is available for players prioritizing maximum frame rates. The Ultra preset at 72.1 FPS is the only setting that drops below 100 FPS, making it less suitable for competitive play but still playable for casual sessions.

The data suggests that High is the best overall preset across all resolutions, as it consistently provides frame rates that are at least 60% higher than Ultra (e.g., 246.5 vs 161.4 at 1080p) while maintaining a high level of visual detail. For players with 240Hz monitors at 1080p, the Medium preset (300.7 FPS) is recommended to fully utilize the display's capabilities.
