CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 4 Raphael architecture. Its base clock of 4.70 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz provide the foundation for this combo's performance in Undisputed. With a 170 W TDP and support for DDR5 memory on the AMD Socket AM5 platform, the CPU delivers strong single-thread and multi-thread performance that translates well into frame rates in this sports title.

Benchmark data shows the 7900X scoring 1093 in 3dMark single-thread tests and 12536 in 3dMark max-threads tests. In Cinebench R23, it reaches 6168 single-core and 43695 multi-core. These scores indicate the CPU has ample headroom for the physics and AI calculations in Undisputed, even at high frame rates. The processor sits in the 93rd percentile of all CPUs, placing it well above the majority of desktop processors.

The CPU's nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Core Ultra 5 235 (50598, 0.1% ahead) and the AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT (50738, 0.4% ahead). The Intel Core i7-13850HX and Intel Core i9-13980HX follow at 0.5% and 0.8% behind, respectively. The 7900X's average benchmark score is 50556, which shows it trades blows with these competitors rather than clearly beating them.

In Undisputed specifically, the CPU's role becomes apparent when looking at the scaling from 1080p to 4K. At 1080p Low settings, the combo hits 404.4 FPS, which demands substantial CPU throughput to feed the GPU. The 12-core design with 24 threads ensures that even at these elevated frame rates, the processor can maintain consistent frame pacing without becoming the bottleneck. The 64 MB of shared L3 cache helps with data locality for the game's physics calculations, while the dual-channel DDR5 memory bus with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth provides adequate memory throughput.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a GB205 chip on a 5 nm TSMC process. It features 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The GPU has 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores, with a base clock of 2325 MHz and boost clock of 2512 MHz. Its 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for a card in this class.

The GPU's average benchmark score is 41687, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon Pro 5300, scores 41610 (0.2% behind), while the NVIDIA Tesla M40 scores 41897 (0.5% ahead). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 also appears as a rival at 41441 (0.6% behind). These close margins indicate the RTX 5070 sits in a competitive performance tier.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is clearly demonstrated by the frame rate differences between settings at each resolution. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages 70.4 FPS, while at 4K Low, it reaches 186.5 FPS. This 2.6x improvement from Ultra to Low settings shows the GPU is the primary driver of performance changes when adjusting graphics quality. The GPU's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 482.3 GTexel/s texture rate provide the raw processing power needed for the game's rendering workload at high resolutions.

The RTX 5070's 12 GB VRAM buffer is sufficient for Undisputed's texture requirements at all tested settings. The GDDR7 memory's 672.0 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture streaming and geometry processing do not become limiting factors, even when the game is running at 4K resolution with Ultra settings. The card's dual-slot design and 250 W TDP require a 600 W suggested PSU, with a single 16-pin power connector.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 9 7900X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination ranks 330 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This means the combo outperforms 1250 other configurations, placing it in the top 21% of all tested setups. The ranking reflects how well this specific CPU-GPU pairing handles the game's workload relative to other combinations in the benchmark database.

The combo's rank suggests that while neither component is the absolute fastest in its class, their combination provides a balanced platform for Undisputed. The CPU's 93rd percentile ranking and the GPU's 83rd percentile ranking combine to produce a result that exceeds what either component would achieve individually in less well-matched pairs. The 330th position out of 1580 combos indicates there is still room for improvement by pairing the 7900X with a higher-tier GPU, but the current pairing delivers strong overall performance.

The data shows that the combo's performance is more limited by the GPU than the CPU in this game. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 404.4 FPS, which is an extremely high frame rate that few games can utilize. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 70.4 FPS, showing that the GPU's rendering capabilities become the constraining factor at higher resolutions and settings. This suggests that users with high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors will be satisfied with the combo's performance, while those targeting 4K Ultra will need to accept lower frame rates or reduce settings.

Resolution Scaling

The combo's frame rate scales predictably across resolutions, with the GPU becoming more dominant as resolution increases. At Low settings, the combo delivers 404.4 FPS at 1080p, 294.5 FPS at 1440p, and 186.5 FPS at 4K. This represents a 27.2% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 53.9% drop from 1080p to 4K. The curve indicates that the CPU has sufficient headroom at 1080p Low to feed the GPU, but the GPU's workload increases significantly at higher resolutions.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is more dramatic. The combo achieves 157.2 FPS at 1080p, 109.8 FPS at 1440p, and 70.4 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 30.1%, while the drop from 1080p to 4K is 55.2%. These larger percentage drops at Ultra settings confirm that the GPU is the limiting factor when graphics quality is maximized. The RTX 5070's 12 GB VRAM and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for 4K Ultra, but the GPU's compute resources are strained at this resolution.

The resolution scaling pattern also reveals the CPU's capabilities. At 1080p Low, the 404.4 FPS result shows that the Ryzen 9 7900X can handle frame rates well above what most displays can show. This indicates the CPU is unlikely to be a bottleneck in Undisputed at any reasonable settings combination. The 12-core, 24-thread design with 5.60 GHz boost clock provides ample processing power for the game's simulation and physics logic, even at these elevated frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combo delivers 404.4 FPS on Low settings, 289.8 FPS on Medium, 240.0 FPS on High, and 157.2 FPS on Ultra. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 61.1% reduction in frame rate, with each settings tier imposing a meaningful performance cost. The 240 FPS result at High settings is noteworthy for high-refresh-rate monitors, as it exceeds the refresh rate of most current gaming displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, the combo produces 294.5 FPS on Low, 208.7 FPS on Medium, 177.1 FPS on High, and 109.8 FPS on Ultra. The step from 1080p to 1440p reduces performance by 27.2% at Low settings, 28.0% at Medium, 26.2% at High, and 30.1% at Ultra. These consistent drops across settings indicate that resolution scaling is uniform regardless of graphics quality, which points to the GPU being the primary determinant of performance at these settings.

At 3840x2160, the combo achieves 186.5 FPS on Low, 133.6 FPS on Medium, 111.3 FPS on High, and 70.4 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result of 70.4 FPS is the lowest recorded for this combo, but it remains playable for most users. The 4K Low result of 186.5 FPS shows that the combo can handle 4K gaming well when settings are reduced, making it a viable option for users who prioritize resolution over visual fidelity.

The data shows that the combo maintains playable frame rates across all tested configurations. Even the most demanding settings combination (4K Ultra) produces 70.4 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold that most users consider smooth. The least demanding configuration (1080p Low) produces 404.4 FPS, which is far beyond what any current display can show. This wide performance envelope gives users flexibility to adjust settings based on their display capabilities and visual preferences.
