Undisputed

Undisputed, the boxing simulation from 2023, presents a clear performance picture for the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination. The benchmark data shows this pairing is exceptionally strong, delivering high frame rates across all tested resolutions. The system demonstrates a consistent ability to push well past 60 FPS, making it a robust choice for this sports title at 4K, and it scales to very high refresh rates at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial but not linear, indicating a shift in the primary bottleneck. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system produces an average of 417 FPS. This is an extremely high number that suggests the CPU is working near its limit, as the GPU has ample headroom to render frames that quickly. When moving to 2560x1440 at the same Low preset, the average FPS drops to 301, a 27.8% reduction. This still represents an excellent level of performance, but the decline is noticeable.

The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Low settings is more severe, with the average FPS falling from 301 to 191. This is a 36.5% drop, showing that the GPU is becoming the more limiting factor as the pixel count increases. The RTX 4070 SUPER is still capable of producing a very playable 191 FPS at 4K Low, but the law of diminishing returns is clear. The trend is consistent across all settings; for example, at High settings, the average FPS drops from 248 at 1080p to 179 at 1440p (a 27.8% drop) and then to 113 at 4K (a 36.9% drop from 1440p). This pattern demonstrates that while the Ryzen 9 5900X is powerful, its influence on the final frame rate wanes as the render resolution increases, and the GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER's workload becomes the dominant factor.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the clear performance driver at higher resolutions. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient to handle the texture and geometry data of Undisputed at 4K. The data confirms that at 4K, the GPU's capabilities are being heavily utilized. The average FPS at 4K High is 113, which is a very strong result, but it is only 45.6% of the frame rate achieved at 1080p High. This demonstrates that the GPU is the primary component responding to the increased pixel workload.

The GPU's architecture, Ada Lovelace, with its 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores, is not necessarily the main focus for this game, but its raw compute power is. The card's boost clock of 2475 MHz helps to ensure that it can maintain high throughput. The performance data shows that even at the demanding Ultra preset, the card manages an average of 73 FPS at 4K. This is a playable frame rate, but it indicates that the game is pushing the card's limits. The 220 W TDP is a reasonable figure for the performance on offer, and the card's dual-slot design suggests it is a manageable addition to a system. The benchmark results clearly indicate that for smooth 4K gameplay, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the component that determines the final output, with the CPU providing sufficient support to avoid being a major constraint.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, with its 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, plays a crucial role in ensuring high frame rates at lower resolutions. Its high multi-threaded performance, evidenced by a 3dmark_max_threads score of 10075 and a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 16262, allows it to feed the GPU with data efficiently. The fact that the system achieves 417 FPS at 1080p Low confirms the CPU's ability to process game logic and draw calls at an exceptional rate. At these settings, the CPU is the limiting component, as the GPU is not being fully taxed.

The CPU's 64 MB of L3 cache is a significant asset for gaming, reducing latency and improving data access speeds. Its 3.70 GHz base clock and 4.80 GHz boost clock provide strong single-threaded performance, which is important for the main game thread. This is reflected in its 3dmark_single_thread score of 941 and passmark_single_thread score of 3469. As resolution increases, the CPU's relative importance diminishes. The frame rate at 4K is much lower than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is now the bottleneck, and the CPU has spare capacity. The Ryzen 9 5900X is a powerful processor that ensures the system is never held back by the CPU, even in a fast-paced sports title like Undisputed, but its contribution is most visible in the high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, the Medium settings preset appears to be the optimal choice for this hardware. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an average of 300 FPS, which is excellent for a high refresh rate monitor. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset still provides a very high average of 217 FPS, offering a superior experience to High settings while maintaining a frame rate well above the 144 Hz mark. Even at 4K, the Medium preset delivers an average of 137 FPS, which comfortably exceeds the 120 Hz threshold for many displays.

While the Ultra preset will provide the best image quality, the performance cost is substantial. At 4K, the average FPS drops to 73, which may be acceptable for some, but the step down from Medium is a 46.7% reduction in frame rate. The High preset is a viable middle ground, but the data suggests that Medium provides the most performance for the visual quality on offer. Given the high frame rates already achieved, the Medium preset is recommended as it provides a smooth and responsive experience at all resolutions without pushing the hardware to its limits.
