A: The closest rival is the AMD EPYC 4245P, with a deltaPct of 0.2, meaning the 5900X is only 0.2% ahead. The Intel Core i7-13700F is 0.9% behind, while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8845HS is 0.7% ahead of the 5900X.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear picture of which preset offers the best balance of performance and visual fidelity. At 1920x1080, High settings deliver 225.1 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display, while Ultra drops to 143.4 FPS — still a very high number. The gap between Medium (267 FPS) and High (225.1 FPS) is 41.9 FPS, which is noticeable but not game-breaking.

At 2560x1440, the story becomes more interesting. High settings produce 162.1 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors, while Ultra drops to 104.8 FPS. The difference between these two presets is 57.3 FPS, a more substantial gap than at 1080p. For users with 144Hz displays, High at 1440p is the sweet spot, as it maintains a frame rate well above the refresh rate. Medium at 1440p (195.4 FPS) is also excellent, but the visual jump from Medium to High is often worth the 33.3 FPS cost.

At 3840x2160, the choices narrow considerably. High settings yield 105 FPS, which is excellent for 4K gaming, while Ultra drops to 69 FPS. The 36 FPS difference between these two presets is the largest relative drop in the dataset, representing a 34% reduction. For 4K users, High is the recommended preset, as it comfortably exceeds 100 FPS while maintaining strong visual quality. Ultra at 4K is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes.

The data suggests that High settings are the optimal choice across all three resolutions. It consistently delivers frame rates that are 60% or more above the minimum playable threshold, while Ultra settings only provide marginal visual improvements at a substantial performance cost. Low settings are only recommended for competitive play where maximum frame rates are prioritized, as the visual degradation is severe.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1920 MHz and boosts up to 2475 MHz, with 5888 shading units and 46 RT cores. These specifications are directly relevant to the measured results in Undisputed, where the GPU’s memory bandwidth becomes a critical factor at higher resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s workload increases substantially, and the data shows this in the frame rate scaling. Moving from High to Ultra at 4K causes the average frame rate to drop from 105 FPS to 69 FPS, a 34% reduction. This suggests that the RTX 4070’s 12 GB memory capacity is sufficient for the game’s textures at 4K, but the 504.2 GB/s bandwidth is a limiting factor when the highest quality textures and effects are enabled.

The RTX 4070’s 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37283, places it in a competitive position. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56, is only 0.6% behind, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile is 2.2% ahead. This narrow margin indicates that the RTX 4070 is well-positioned for 1440p gaming, where it delivers 162.1 FPS at High settings, but the 4K results show that it is not a native 4K powerhouse.

The GPU’s 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 455.4 GTexel/s texture rate are more than adequate for a sports title like Undisputed, which likely does not stress the GPU as heavily as AAA action games. However, the 4K Ultra result of 69 FPS demonstrates that the GPU is still the primary bottleneck at the highest resolution and settings, as the CPU has ample headroom in this scenario.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 374 out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed, placing it in the top 23.7% of all pairings. This is a strong result, though it is not in the top tier of performance. The rank suggests that while this combo is well above average, there are many other combinations that deliver higher frame rates in this specific game.

The ranking is likely influenced by the CPU’s 90th percentile position, which is higher than the GPU’s 81st percentile. This disparity suggests that the Ryzen 9 5900X is a more dominant component in this pairing, and the combo’s overall rank may be held back by the GPU’s relative performance. The data supports this interpretation: at 1080p, where the CPU is the primary limiter, the combo achieves 375.8 FPS at Low settings, which is exceptionally high. At 4K, where the GPU is the bottleneck, the frame rates drop to more moderate levels.

The combo’s rank of 374 also implies that there are 1206 tested combinations that perform worse, which reflects the overall capability of this pairing. However, the gap between this combo and the top-ranked combinations is likely significant, as the 4K Ultra result of 69 FPS is not competitive with the highest-end GPUs that can push 100+ FPS at the same settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. It features 64 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The CPU’s 90th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 39453 place it among the top processors available.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role becomes evident when examining the 1080p results. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo achieves 375.8 FPS, which is 103.3 FPS higher than the Medium result (267 FPS) and 150.7 FPS higher than the High result (225.1 FPS). This massive spread at 1080p indicates that the CPU is capable of driving extremely high frame rates, but the GPU’s rendering workload becomes the limiting factor as settings increase.

The CPU’s single-thread performance, as measured by the 3dmark_single_thread score of 941 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4680, is sufficient for the game’s physics and AI calculations. The multi-thread performance, with a 3dmark_max_threads score of 10075 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 33150, shows that the CPU has ample headroom for any background tasks while gaming.

The nearest rival data shows that the 5900X is closely matched with other high-end processors. The AMD EPYC 4245P is only 0.2% behind, while the Intel Core i7-13700F is 0.9% behind. This indicates that the 5900X is at the top of its performance class, and the 4.80 GHz boost clock is likely the key factor in its strong single-thread performance, which is critical for achieving the high frame rates seen at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average frame rates across settings are as follows: Low produces 375.8 FPS, Medium produces 267 FPS, High produces 225.1 FPS, and Ultra produces 143.4 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 232.4 FPS, which is a 62% reduction. This indicates that the GPU’s workload increases dramatically with each settings tier, while the CPU maintains a consistent performance ceiling.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low produces 272.3 FPS, Medium produces 195.4 FPS, High produces 162.1 FPS, and Ultra produces 104.8 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is 167.5 FPS, representing a 61.5% reduction. The 1440p results are consistently lower than 1080p, with the High setting showing a 63 FPS difference between the two resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low produces 172.5 FPS, Medium produces 123.3 FPS, High produces 105 FPS, and Ultra produces 69 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 103.5 FPS, a 60% reduction. The 4K results show the most significant impact of the GPU’s memory bandwidth, as the frame rate drops below 100 FPS for all settings except Low.

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: each settings tier reduces the frame rate by roughly 20-30%, and the relative gap between Low and Ultra remains similar across resolutions. This suggests that the game’s settings scale linearly with GPU workload, and the RTX 4070’s performance is predictable across the board.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component at each resolution. At High settings, the frame rate drops from 225.1 FPS at 1080p to 162.1 FPS at 1440p, a 63 FPS reduction, and then to 105 FPS at 4K, another 57.1 FPS reduction. The scaling from 1440p to 4K shows a 35.2% performance loss, which is consistent with the pixel count increase of approximately 2.25x.

At Low settings, the scaling is more dramatic: 375.8 FPS at 1080p drops to 272.3 FPS at 1440p (a 27.5% reduction) and then to 172.5 FPS at 4K (a 36.7% reduction from 1440p). The fact that Low settings still show a significant drop from 1440p to 4K indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor even at the lowest settings, as the CPU is capable of much higher frame rates.

The Ultra settings show the most severe scaling: 143.4 FPS at 1080p drops to 104.8 FPS at 1440p (a 26.9% reduction) and then to 69 FPS at 4K (a 34.2% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 69 FPS is the only measurement that approaches the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that this configuration is at the edge of the GPU’s capabilities.

The data indicates that the CPU is the primary limiting factor at 1080p, as evidenced by the 375.8 FPS Low result, which is likely near the game’s engine limit. At 1440p and 4K, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, as the frame rates drop in proportion to the pixel count. This means that users with this combo should prioritize the GPU when upgrading for higher resolutions, while the CPU is more than sufficient for any current gaming scenario.
