# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 9 7900X + AMD Radeon RX 7700

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7700 delivers a consistent 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, with average frame rates ranging from 80 FPS at 1440p Ultra to 288 FPS at 1080p Low. At 4K, the combination remains playable but requires careful settings selection, as the Ultra preset drops to 50 FPS while High holds at 78 FPS. The measured data shows a clear scaling pattern where resolution and settings interact predictably, with the GPU emerging as the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions while the CPU's 12-core, 24-thread configuration ensures headroom at lower settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals how the system's workload shifts between components. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 288 FPS, which drops to 208 FPS at 1440p Low (a 28% reduction) and further to 132 FPS at 4K Low (a 54% reduction from the 1080p baseline). This scaling pattern indicates that even at the lowest settings, resolution increases place substantial strain on the GPU, as the RX 7700's 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth are increasingly taxed by pixel count.

Moving to Medium settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 207 FPS to 150 FPS (a 28% reduction), and from 1440p to 4K it falls to 95 FPS (a 37% reduction). The High preset shows a similar trend: 171 FPS at 1080p, 124 FPS at 1440p (a 27% reduction), and 78 FPS at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). The Ultra preset, however, exhibits a steeper drop: 110 FPS at 1080p, 80 FPS at 1440p (a 27% reduction), and 50 FPS at 4K (a 38% reduction from 1440p).

The consistency of these percentage drops across settings—typically 27-28% from 1080p to 1440p and 37-38% from 1440p to 4K—suggests that the GPU's compute capabilities, rather than memory bandwidth or CPU throughput, dominate the scaling behavior. The RX 7700's 25.18 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 393.4 GTexel/s texture rate are the likely bottlenecks at 4K, where the pixel fill rate of 236.1 GPixel/s becomes critical. At 1080p, the Ryzen 9 7900X's high single-thread performance (2,016.5 in Cinebench R23 single-core) ensures the CPU rarely limits frame delivery, as evidenced by the 288 FPS Low result.

Settings Recommendations

For 4K gaming, the measured data shows that High settings (78 FPS) offer the best balance between visual quality and smoothness, while Medium (95 FPS) provides additional headroom for those prioritizing frame rate. The Ultra preset at 4K (50 FPS) falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many players consider minimum for a smooth sports experience, making it less advisable despite its visual benefits. Low settings at 4K (132 FPS) are playable but sacrifice too much visual fidelity for a game where character models and ring details matter.

At 1440p, the High preset (124 FPS) delivers an excellent experience, while Medium (150 FPS) is ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The Ultra preset at 1440p (80 FPS) remains smooth and visually rich, making it a viable choice for players with 144 Hz monitors who can tolerate slightly lower frame rates for enhanced graphics. Low at 1440p (208 FPS) exceeds the refresh rate of most displays, so it offers no practical benefit over Medium or High.

At 1080p, all settings exceed 60 FPS, with Ultra (110 FPS) providing a fully playable experience and Medium (207 FPS) or High (171 FPS) suiting competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors. The Low preset (288 FPS) is only relevant for extreme refresh rate displays or if the player prioritizes absolute minimal input latency. Based on the measured rows, the recommended presets are High at 4K, High or Ultra at 1440p, and Ultra or High at 1080p, depending on whether visual fidelity or frame rate is the priority.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are as follows: Low produces 132 FPS, Medium averages 95 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS and maximum of 109 FPS, High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 50 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K shows the only recorded minimum and maximum values, indicating a frame time variance of 29 FPS between its lowest and highest points.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset reaches 208 FPS, Medium averages 150 FPS with a range of 127 to 172 FPS, High averages 124 FPS, and Ultra averages 80 FPS. The Medium preset's frame time range of 45 FPS is the widest across all resolution and settings combinations, suggesting some scene complexity spikes at this setting.

At 1920x1080, Low produces 288 FPS, Medium averages 207 FPS with a range of 176 to 238 FPS, High averages 171 FPS, and Ultra averages 110 FPS. The Medium preset's 62 FPS range indicates notable frame time variability even at this resolution, although the average remains well above playable thresholds.

The data shows that the gap between Low and Medium settings narrows as resolution increases: at 1080p, Medium is 28% slower than Low; at 1440p, it is 28% slower; and at 4K, it is 28% slower. The gap between High and Ultra widens with resolution: at 1080p, Ultra is 36% slower than High; at 1440p, it is 35% slower; and at 4K, it is 36% slower. This pattern indicates that Ultra settings impose a consistent additional load regardless of resolution, whereas the Low-to-Medium transition has a fixed relative cost.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7700, built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 32 chip, brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is a significant asset in Undisputed, where high-resolution textures and detailed character models can consume substantial VRAM. The 16 GB capacity ensures that even at 4K Ultra, the GPU does not run out of memory, allowing the measured 50 FPS result to be purely compute-bound rather than memory-constrained.

The GPU's clock behavior shows a base of 1900 MHz, a game clock of 2041 MHz, and a boost of 2459 MHz. The memory operates at 2438 MHz with 19.5 Gbps effective transfer. These clocks, combined with 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units, produce 25.18 TFLOPS FP32 performance. The 393.4 GTexel/s texture rate and 236.1 GPixel/s pixel rate are directly relevant to Undisputed's rendering demands, particularly at higher resolutions where pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor.

The GPU's benchmark results include a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,865, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 106,028, and a Passmark G3D score of 20,974. Its Passmark DirectX 11 score of 186 and DirectX 12 score of 96 indicate that the GPU handles modern API workloads efficiently. The 58th percentile ranking among all GPUs reflects a mid-tier position, which aligns with the Undisputed results showing playable but not exceptional 4K performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael), manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process. It operates at a base clock of 4.70 GHz and boosts to 5.60 GHz, with 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB of L2 cache per core. The CPU's 170 W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provide a solid foundation for gaming workloads.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is evident from the 1080p Low result of 288 FPS, which approaches the practical limits of many display and engine constraints. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29,300 and single-core score of 2,016.5 indicate strong performance across both heavily threaded and single-threaded scenarios. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 10,972 and max-thread score of 12,536 show that the CPU scales well with additional threads, though Undisputed likely does not fully utilize all 24 threads given its sports genre classification.

The Passmark multithread score of 51,406 and single-thread score of 4,238 demonstrate that the CPU can handle both parallel and sequential workloads efficiently. Its 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs, with nearest rivals within 0.6% performance difference, suggests that the 7900X provides ample processing power for this game. The fact that 1080p Low achieves 288 FPS indicates that the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions and settings, allowing the GPU to become the limiting factor as resolution and settings increase.
