Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed across three resolutions reveals a predictable but instructive scaling pattern. Starting at 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 417 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 Low drops that to 301 FPS, a 27.8% reduction. At 3840x2160 Low, the average falls to 191 FPS, which is 36.6% lower than the 1440p result and 54.2% lower than the 1080p figure. This progression shows that even at the lowest settings, the rendering load scales heavily with pixel count, and the GPU becomes the dominant constraint as resolution climbs.

The High preset tells a similar story with slightly different magnitudes. At 1080p High, the system produces 248 FPS. At 1440p High, it drops to 179 FPS — a 27.8% decrease, nearly identical to the Low preset scaling. At 4K High, the average is 113 FPS, which is 36.9% lower than 1440p High and 54.4% lower than 1080p High. The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and High settings suggests that resolution scaling in Undisputed is largely independent of the graphics preset; the pixel throughput requirement grows at the same rate regardless of how much shading work each pixel receives.

Medium settings show a slightly different pattern in the available data. At 1080p Medium, the average is 300 FPS with a minimum of 255 FPS and maximum of 345 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 217 FPS, a 27.7% reduction, with a minimum of 184 FPS and maximum of 249 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 137 FPS, which is 36.9% lower than 1440p and 54.3% lower than 1080p. The min/max ranges at Medium settings reveal that frame time variance scales proportionally with resolution — the spread between minimum and maximum FPS is roughly 30% of the average at each resolution, indicating a consistent frame pacing behavior.

Ultra settings produce the lowest absolute numbers but the most dramatic scaling. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 160 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it falls to 115 FPS, a 28.1% drop. At 4K Ultra, the average is 73 FPS, which is 36.5% lower than 1440p Ultra and 54.4% lower than 1080p Ultra. This near-identical scaling ratio across all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — strongly indicates that the limiting factor at higher resolutions is purely the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth, not any CPU-side bottleneck.

The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU has ample headroom to feed the GPU, as evidenced by the 417 FPS Low result. Even the most demanding preset at 1080p (Ultra, 160 FPS) is far above what most displays can show. The transition from 1440p to 4K produces the steepest relative drop in every preset, confirming that Undisputed's rendering engine scales nearly linearly with pixel count. For users targeting 4K gameplay, the GPU becomes the unequivocal bottleneck, while at 1080p the system is likely constrained by other factors or simply running at the upper bounds of what the engine can produce.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of the measured FPS figures in this dataset. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the texture and geometry loads of Undisputed at all tested resolutions. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz allow it to sustain high throughput across the 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 43223. Its nearest rivals in the aggregated benchmark data are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262, just 0.1% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268, 0.1% higher), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43301, 0.2% higher), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43667, 1% higher). These margins are negligible in synthetic workloads, but the measured FPS in Undisputed shows the RTX 4070 SUPER performs distinctly at different resolutions, with the 4K Ultra result of 73 FPS being the only sub-100 FPS figure in the entire dataset.

At 4K Ultra, the GPU's memory bandwidth becomes a critical factor. The 504.2 GB/s figure is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at all settings, but 4K Ultra demands more data movement per frame, and the 73 FPS result reflects that pressure. The pixel rate of 198.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 554.4 GTexel/s are high enough to handle 4K at lower presets — evidenced by the 191 FPS Low result — but the Ultra preset's additional shading work pushes the GPU to its limits. The 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 compute throughput is the same figure for FP16, indicating a 1:1 ratio that is typical for the Ada Lovelace architecture.

The GPU's end-of-life production status and 220 W TDP suggest it is a mature design. Its 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray-traced and AI-enhanced workloads, though Undisputed's measured data does not isolate these features. The PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and 1x 16-pin power connector are standard for this class, and the dual-slot form factor is manageable. The 267 mm length and 112 mm height are typical for a 40-series card.

The GPU's performance in Undisputed specifically shows it can comfortably exceed 100 FPS at 4K for all presets except Ultra. The 113 FPS High result at 4K is notable because it indicates the GPU has enough headroom for high refresh rates even at 4K, provided the user compromises on the highest settings. The 12 GB memory capacity does not appear to be a limiting factor in any measured configuration, as even the 4K Ultra result does not show catastrophic frame drops that would indicate memory swapping.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X provides the processing backbone for this combo, and its specifications suggest it is far from being a bottleneck in Undisputed. The 12-core, 24-thread Zen 4 architecture with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz delivers substantial compute headroom. The 64 MB shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 per core reduce memory latency, which is relevant for game logic and physics calculations in a sports title like Undisputed.

The CPU's benchmark results place it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53288. Its nearest rivals are the AMD EPYC 7313P (53206, 0.2% lower), the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (53469, 0.3% higher), the Intel Xeon 634 (52974, 0.6% lower), and the Intel Core i7-14700F (53620, 0.6% higher). These tiny deltas in synthetic benchmarks suggest the 7900X is well-matched against its peers, though none of these rivals appear in the measured FPS data for Undisputed.

The CPU's 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth, enabled by dual-channel DDR5 support, is ample for feeding the GPU at all tested resolutions. The 170 W TDP is reasonable for a 12-core desktop part, and the 5 nm process node from TSMC helps maintain efficiency. The 13,140 million transistors across a 2x 71 mm² die size indicate a dense design that supports high clock speeds.

In the measured FPS data, the CPU's role is most apparent at 1080p Low, where the system achieves 417 FPS. This figure is likely near the engine's maximum frame rate ceiling, as the GPU is not heavily taxed at that resolution and settings combination. The CPU's single-thread performance — evidenced by the 3DMark single-thread score of 1093 and Geekbench single-core score of 2617 — is strong enough to keep up with the GPU's output. The 4-thread score of 4151 and 8-thread score of 7798 in 3DMark suggest that Undisputed's multi-threaded workload is well-served, though the game likely does not scale beyond 8 threads given its sports genre.

The CPU's 24 threads provide significant headroom for background tasks and streaming, but the measured FPS data does not show any signs of CPU limitation. The scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent across all presets, which would not occur if the CPU were the bottleneck — a CPU-limited scenario would show flatter FPS across resolutions. The 29300 Cinebench R23 multicore score and 2016.5 single-core score reinforce that this CPU can handle the most demanding game logic without breaking a sweat.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for optimal settings. For users with 60Hz displays, every preset at every resolution exceeds 60 FPS, so the choice comes down to visual quality. The 4K Ultra average of 73 FPS is the only configuration that approaches the 60Hz threshold, making it a viable option for those prioritizing image quality over headroom.

For 144Hz displays, the recommended settings vary by resolution. At 1080p, all presets exceed 144 FPS, with even Ultra producing 160 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra produces 115 FPS, which falls below 144Hz, so High (179 FPS) is the optimal choice for matching refresh rate. At 4K, only Low (191 FPS) and Medium (137 FPS) meet or approach 144Hz, with Medium being the better visual choice.

For 240Hz displays, the options narrow considerably. At 1080p, Medium (300 FPS) and High (248 FPS) both exceed 240Hz, with Low (417 FPS) being excessive. At 1440p, Low (301 FPS) is the only preset above 240Hz, though Medium (217 FPS) is close. At 4K, no preset reaches 240Hz, with Low (191 FPS) being the highest.

The Medium preset offers the best balance across all resolutions. At 1080p, it produces 300 FPS average with a minimum of 255 FPS. At 1440p, it produces 217 FPS average with a minimum of 184 FPS. At 4K, it produces 137 FPS average with a minimum of 117 FPS. The consistent min/max data for Medium settings (unlike other presets) provides confidence in frame pacing. For most users, selecting Medium at the native resolution of their display will provide a smooth experience with acceptable visual quality.

How This Combo Ranks

This combo — AMD Ryzen 9 7900X with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER — holds a rank of 651 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 17.5% of all combinations tested for this game. The rank percentile indicates that this system outperforms the vast majority of tested configurations, which aligns with the measured FPS data showing high frame rates across all resolutions and settings.

The rank of 651 out of 3718 is particularly notable given the GPU's end-of-life status. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 83rd percentile score among all GPUs and the 7900X's 91st percentile score among all CPUs combine to create a system that is well above average for this title. The combo's rank suggests that Undisputed is not particularly demanding compared to other games in the benchmark database, as many lower-ranked combos likely produce lower FPS in more graphically intensive titles.

The gap between this combo's rank and the top-ranked systems is likely driven by the GPU's 12 GB memory capacity and 192-bit bus, which limit 4K Ultra performance. The 73 FPS 4K Ultra result is the weakest figure in the dataset, and systems with higher memory bandwidth would rank higher. However, for the vast majority of use cases — 1080p, 1440p, and 4K at Medium or High — this combo delivers frame rates that exceed display refresh rate capabilities, making the rank of 651 a strong indicator of real-world performance.

The data confirms this is a well-balanced pairing. The CPU's substantial headroom ensures it never bottlenecks the GPU, and the GPU's performance is sufficient for all but the most demanding 4K Ultra scenarios. Users with this combo can expect excellent performance in Undisputed across a wide range of settings and resolutions, with the only compromise being 4K Ultra where the 73 FPS average may not satisfy the most demanding high-refresh-rate enthusiasts.
