Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 lands at rank 349 out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it comfortably in the top quarter of all configurations. The CPU itself sits at the 89th percentile against all processors, while the GPU reaches the 83rd percentile of all graphics cards, making this a balanced pairing where neither component dramatically outclasses the other. In synthetic workloads, the Ryzen 7 9700X edges out the Intel Core i5-14500HX by a mere 0.2% in average benchmark score, while the RTX 5070 trades blows with the RTX 3090, holding a 0.6% advantage in average GPU score.

How This Combo Ranks

At position 349 of 1,580, this combo sits in the 78th percentile of all tested pairings for Undisputed, which is a strong result for a sports title that typically favors high refresh rates over raw computational muscle. The ranking reflects the synergy between the 8-core, 16-thread Zen 5 processor and the Blackwell-architecture GPU, both of which are recent releases that scale well in this game's engine. The CPU's 89th percentile standing among all processors is backed by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 31,588 and a single-core score of 4,459, indicating that the 9700X has ample headroom for the game's physics and AI simulation threads. Meanwhile, the GPU's 83rd percentile is supported by a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,077 and a Passmark G3D score of 29,137, showing that the RTX 5070 is a capable mid-to-high-tier performer in this title.

The data suggests this combo is well-matched for Undisputed's demands. The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H, which scores 0.4% higher on average, and the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845, which trails by 0.6%. These margins are negligible in real-world gaming, meaning the 9700X is effectively on par with other strong CPUs in its class. On the GPU side, the RTX 5070's nearest rival is the NVIDIA Tesla M40, which is 0.5% ahead, while the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 sits 0.2% behind. The tight clustering of these scores indicates that the RTX 5070 is right at the performance tier where it competes with previous-generation flagships, though the newer architecture brings efficiency and feature-set advantages that don't show up in raw FPS.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data reveals a clear sweet spot at Medium settings across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 293.8 FPS, which is only 27% lower than the Low preset's 403.4 FPS but dramatically smoother than the visual quality drop would suggest. The jump from Medium to High costs 50.1 FPS at 1080p, bringing the average down to 243.7 FPS, while Ultra drops another 86.6 FPS to 157.1 FPS. For competitive play, where response time matters more than shadows or reflections, Medium offers the best balance of frame rate and visual fidelity. At 1440p, Medium holds 209.6 FPS, which is still well above the 144Hz threshold for most high-refresh monitors, while High drops to 173.6 FPS and Ultra falls to 109.5 FPS. The story is similar at 4K, where Medium maintains 133.3 FPS, High dips to 109.2 FPS, and Ultra falls below 70 FPS.

For users with 144Hz displays, Medium is the recommended preset at 1080p and 1440p, as it provides a comfortable margin above the refresh rate cap. At 4K, Medium remains playable at 133.3 FPS, but High at 109.2 FPS is also viable for those prioritizing visual quality. Ultra settings are only recommended for users with 60Hz displays at 4K, where the 68.8 FPS average still exceeds the panel's refresh rate. The data shows that the performance gap between Low and Medium is 109.6 FPS at 1080p, 81.1 FPS at 1440p, and 50.2 FPS at 4K, suggesting that the game's Medium preset adds significant visual complexity without proportionally taxing the hardware.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a predictable pattern of GPU-bound performance. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 403.4 FPS at 1080p to 290.7 FPS at 1440p, then to 183.5 FPS at 4K. This represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a 37% further reduction from 1440p to 4K. The Medium preset shows a similar trajectory: 293.8 FPS at 1080p falls to 209.6 FPS at 1440p (a 29% drop), then to 133.3 FPS at 4K (a 36% further drop). High settings follow suit with 243.7 FPS at 1080p, 173.6 FPS at 1440p (29% down), and 109.2 FPS at 4K (37% down). Ultra settings exhibit the steepest relative decline: 157.1 FPS at 1080p, 109.5 FPS at 1440p (30% down), and 68.8 FPS at 4K (37% down).

The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings presets indicates that resolution scaling is almost entirely GPU-limited. The RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth handles the increased pixel count at 4K, but the shading workload scales linearly with resolution. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, with the 9700X's strong single-thread performance (3DMark single-thread score of 1,280, Cinebench R23 single-core of 4,459) ensuring that frame rates at 1080p are not bottlenecked by processor overhead. The 4K-to-1080p ratio at Medium settings is 2.20x, meaning the GPU needs roughly 2.2 times the work per frame at 4K compared to 1080p, which aligns with the pixel count difference of 4K (8.3 million pixels) versus 1080p (2.1 million pixels).

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 5070 delivers exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce 403.4 FPS average, which is more than enough for any competitive scenario. Medium brings 293.8 FPS, High 243.7 FPS, and Ultra 157.1 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 246.3 FPS, indicating that the game's Ultra preset introduces heavy post-processing effects that tax the GPU significantly. At 2560x1440, the numbers scale down proportionally: Low hits 290.7 FPS, Medium 209.6 FPS, High 173.6 FPS, and Ultra 109.5 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is particularly notable because it crosses below the 120 FPS threshold, which may be noticeable on high-refresh displays. At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably: Low achieves 183.5 FPS, Medium 133.3 FPS, High 109.2 FPS, and Ultra 68.8 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that dips below 70 FPS, making it marginal for smooth gameplay on standard 60Hz displays.

The delta between Medium and High at each resolution is remarkably consistent: 50.1 FPS at 1080p, 36.0 FPS at 1440p, and 24.1 FPS at 4K. This suggests that the High preset adds a fixed set of GPU-intensive effects (likely improved shadows, ambient occlusion, and texture filtering) that scale with resolution. The gap between High and Ultra is even larger: 86.6 FPS at 1080p, 64.1 FPS at 1440p, and 40.4 FPS at 4K. Ultra appears to enable ray-traced reflections or global illumination, which disproportionately impacts the RTX 5070's 48 RT cores at higher resolutions.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070's 12 GB of GDDR7 memory is sufficient for Undisputed at all tested settings, as the game is a sports title with relatively modest texture requirements compared to open-world RPGs. The memory clock runs at 1,750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth across the 192-bit bus. This bandwidth proves adequate even at 4K Ultra, where the 68.8 FPS average suggests the GPU is compute-bound rather than memory-bandwidth-limited. The GPU's boost clock of 2,512 MHz and base clock of 2,325 MHz, combined with 6,144 shading units, produce 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. In the Passmark DirectX 12 test, the card scores 108, while the DirectX 11 score reaches 277, indicating strong API efficiency for this game's engine.

The RTX 5070's 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores are underutilized in Undisputed, as the game's Ultra preset likely uses only limited ray tracing for shadow or reflection effects. The 80 ROPs and 192 TMUs handle the pixel and texture throughput well, with the pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s proving sufficient for the 4K resolution targets. The GPU's 5 nm process node from TSMC, with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, allows the card to maintain high clock speeds without excessive power draw. The 250 W TDP is typical for this performance class, and the dual-slot cooler with a single 16-pin power connector keeps the card manageable in most ATX cases. The 83rd percentile ranking against all GPUs, with a 0.6% advantage over the RTX 3090 in average benchmark score, confirms that the RTX 5070 delivers previous-generation flagship performance with newer architecture features that benefit this game's specific rendering paths.
