The data shows a system capable of maintaining high frame rates across all settings and resolutions, with the 4K Ultra experience still exceeding 100 FPS. The measured results indicate that this pairing is overkill for competitive play at 1080p but provides headroom for high-refresh-rate 4K displays.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience in Undisputed, the Medium preset offers the most balanced combination of visual fidelity and performance headroom. At 3840x2160, Medium delivers an average of 190 FPS with a minimum of 162 FPS and maximum of 219 FPS, providing a smooth experience with room to spare for demanding scenes. The High preset at 4K drops to 157 FPS average, which remains smooth but offers less margin above typical 144 Hz refresh rates. Ultra at 4K produces 101 FPS average, which is playable but leaves limited headroom for frame time spikes.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset achieves 301 FPS average with a minimum of 256 FPS, making it an excellent choice for high-refresh-rate monitors. The High preset at 1440p reaches 249 FPS, still well above most display refresh rates. For 1920x1080, Medium produces 416 FPS average with a minimum of 354 FPS, while High reaches 344 FPS. The Low preset at 1080p yields 578 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of virtually any display currently available.

The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot across all resolutions. It provides meaningful visual improvements over Low while maintaining frame rates that are 21% higher than High at 4K, 21% higher at 1440p, and 21% higher at 1080p. The gap between Medium and Ultra is more substantial, with Ultra costing 47% of the Medium frame rate at 4K, 47% at 1440p, and 47% at 1080p. For players prioritizing competitive responsiveness, Low at 1440p delivers 418 FPS, but the visual trade-off is significant for a game where character model detail matters.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D is the dominant component in this pairing, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB202 chip manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The GPU features 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, providing 1.79 TB/s of bandwidth. The base clock runs at 2017 MHz with a boost clock of 2407 MHz, while memory operates at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed. The card contains 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 raster output units, along with 170 ray tracing cores and 680 tensor cores.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role varies significantly by resolution and settings. At 4K Ultra, the average frame rate of 101 FPS indicates the GPU is heavily loaded, as the 32 GB VRAM capacity is more than sufficient for any texture workload the game can present. The 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth ensures that even at 4K with Ultra settings, the frame buffer and texture streaming do not become bottlenecks. The pixel rate of 423.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 1,636.8 GTexel/s provide ample fill rate for the game's character models and arena environments.

The GPU's compute capabilities, measured at 104.8 TFLOPS for FP32 and FP16, suggest that even the most demanding physics and particle effects in Undisputed will not stress the card. The benchmark data shows the RTX 5090 D scoring 44,065 in Passmark G3D and 14,326 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it at the 92nd percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark scores show the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT trailing by 1.6%, while the RX 6650M XT trails by 1.1%, indicating the desktop flagship maintains a comfortable lead over mobile parts.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700X provides the processing foundation for this combination, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge) manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The processor runs at a base clock of 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, supported by 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core. The TDP is rated at 65 W, and memory bandwidth reaches 89.6 GB/s through dual-channel DDR5 support.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with game logic, opponent AI, and physics calculations. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration provides substantial parallelism, and benchmark results confirm strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 20,485, while the single-core test reaches 2,211. Geekbench multi-core scores 17,906 with a single-core result of 3,023. The 3DMark tests show 9,824 with 16 threads and 1,280 single-threaded, indicating excellent scaling across cores.

The CPU's performance relative to its rivals is remarkably tight. The Intel Core i9-14901E trails by just 0.1% in average benchmark score, and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 also trails by 0.1%. The Intel Core 5 211E is 0.3% behind, and the AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P132 is 0.4% behind. This clustering suggests that the 9700X sits at the top of a very competitive performance tier, and the 86th percentile ranking across all CPUs confirms its position. At 1080p with Low settings, the CPU must work harder to maintain 578 FPS average, and the 5.50 GHz boost clock helps minimize any potential bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination ranks first out of 2,813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it at the absolute top of the database. The rank reflects the measured performance data rather than theoretical specifications, making it a meaningful indicator of real-world capability. The 1st-place ranking means no other tested CPU and GPU pairing achieved higher average frame rates across the tested settings and resolutions.

The combination's dominance is particularly evident at higher resolutions where the GPU's 32 GB VRAM and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth come into play. At 4K Ultra, the 101 FPS average is remarkable for a sports title, where many games struggle to maintain 60 FPS on flagship hardware. The 4K Medium result of 190 FPS demonstrates that this combo has substantial headroom even at the most demanding settings. The 1440p results reinforce the top-tier positioning, with Ultra reaching 160 FPS and Low reaching 418 FPS.

The rank also reflects the CPU's ability to keep pace with the GPU. At 1080p Low, the 578 FPS average indicates that the Ryzen 7 9700X can drive frame rates high enough to saturate even the most extreme refresh rate displays. The tight grouping of CPU rivals, all within 0.4% of the 9700X's average score, suggests that any of these processors could pair effectively with the RTX 5090 D, but the 9700X's combination of single-thread performance and multi-thread capability secures the top spot.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals how the system's performance is distributed across resolutions and where the bottleneck shifts. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 416 at 1080p to 301 at 1440p and 190 at 4K. This represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and an additional 37% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling suggests that the GPU becomes progressively more dominant as resolution increases, which is expected for a high-end graphics card paired with a capable CPU.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced: 578 FPS at 1080p drops to 418 at 1440p and 264 at 4K. The 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings indicates that the game becomes increasingly GPU-limited as resolution rises, even with minimal graphical effects. At High settings, the scaling shows 344 FPS at 1080p, 249 at 1440p, and 157 at 4K, representing a 54% drop from 1080p to 4K. The Ultra preset shows 222 FPS at 1080p, 160 at 1440p, and 101 at 4K, a 55% reduction.

The consistency of these scaling patterns across settings indicates that the system maintains balanced performance characteristics. The GPU's 32 GB VRAM ensures that memory capacity never becomes a constraint, even at 4K Ultra, so the scaling reflects pure rendering load rather than memory limitations. The CPU's performance at 1080p Low, delivering 578 FPS, demonstrates that the processor can handle the game's logic at frame rates far exceeding typical display refresh rates, meaning the CPU is not a limiting factor at any resolution tested.
