Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 combination ranks 714th out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed. That places it in the top 45% of all pairings, a solid mid-tier result for a sports title. The pairing sits close to the median, which means it is neither a top-tier enthusiast config nor a low-end outlier. Crucially, the data is measured, not estimated, so the FPS figures represent actual game performance rather than projections.

How This Combo Ranks

The 714th rank out of 1,580 combos indicates that this CPU-GPU pairing is comfortably within the upper half of all systems tested. For a game like Undisputed, where frame pacing and consistency matter more than raw peak output, a mid-pack ranking is respectable. The CPU’s percentile ranking (94th vs all CPUs) is far stronger than the GPU’s (72nd vs all GPUs), which suggests the processor is overqualified relative to the graphics card in this pairing. That imbalance means the combo’s overall rank is likely bottlenecked by the GPU, not the CPU. In practical terms, the 9900X has headroom to drive a more powerful graphics card, but with the RTX 3070, the system lands in this upper-middle tier. The combo’s position is also notably consistent with its component-level averages: the CPU’s average benchmark score of 54,450 is almost identical to the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D’s 54,681 (-0.4%), while the GPU’s 28,238 average sits within 1% of the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT’s 27,985. This suggests the pairing performs predictably relative to its individual parts.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 brings 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock is 1500 MHz with a boost of 1725 MHz. For Undisputed, a sports game that relies on rapid scene changes and detailed character models, this memory configuration is adequate but not lavish. The 8 GB capacity becomes a constraint at higher resolutions and settings, which is evident in the frame rate data. The GPU’s 20.31 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is substantial, but the memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s is the more relevant spec for this title, as it governs how quickly textures and geometry can be fed to the render pipeline. The card’s 96 ROPs and 184 TMUs handle pixel output and texture filtering, respectively, and these are the units that directly influence raw fill rates. In benchmark terms, the RTX 3070 achieves a PassMark G3D score of 22,214, which places it at the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD FirePro S7150, scores 28,409, a delta of -0.6%, meaning the RTX 3070 is effectively tied with that workstation card in synthetic tests, though the gaming-oriented drivers and features make it more suitable for Undisputed.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo hits 310 FPS, but this drops to 221.7 FPS at 1440p and 145.2 FPS at 4K. That is a 53% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, which indicates the GPU is doing progressively more work per frame. The trend is even more pronounced at Ultra settings: 120.9 FPS at 1080p, 84.3 FPS at 1440p, and 53.3 FPS at 4K, a 56% drop. The consistency of this percentage decline across settings suggests the limiting component is the GPU’s rendering throughput, not the CPU. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would remain relatively flat as resolution rises, because the processor would be pegged at its maximum output regardless of pixel count. Instead, the steady decline points to the RTX 3070’s pixel and texture processing limits. The CPU’s 12 cores and 24 threads, with a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, are more than sufficient to feed the GPU at any resolution tested, as evidenced by the high 1080p frame rates that would saturate most displays.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings produce an average of 310 FPS, which is exceptionally smooth and well beyond the refresh rate of typical monitors. Medium settings yield 223.4 FPS, High settings 184 FPS, and Ultra 120.9 FPS. Even at Ultra, the 1080p result clears 120 FPS, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The step from Low to Ultra costs 189.1 FPS, a 61% performance reduction, which shows how demanding the Ultra preset is on the GPU.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain playable across all settings. Low averages 221.7 FPS, Medium 162.1 FPS, High 134.9 FPS, and Ultra 84.3 FPS. The jump from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra costs 36.6 FPS, a 30% drop, which is a steeper decline than the 15% drop from Medium (223.4 to 162.1). This suggests that Ultra settings at 1440p push the GPU’s memory bandwidth and shading units harder, bringing the 8 GB VRAM closer to its capacity limit.

At 3840x2160, the results are more modest. Low settings still manage 145.2 FPS, which is usable for competitive play, but Medium drops to 103.2 FPS, High to 85 FPS, and Ultra to 53.3 FPS. The Ultra result at 4K is below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this combo is not ideal for maxed-out 4K gaming in Undisputed. However, High settings at 85 FPS provide a smooth experience, and even Low at 145.2 FPS is far above playability. The spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is 91.9 FPS, which is the largest absolute gap across all resolutions, confirming that the GPU is the primary performance limiter at higher pixel counts.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution to use for this combo in Undisputed?*

A: At 1080p, all settings exceed 120 FPS, with Low reaching 310 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 84.3 FPS, which is still smooth, but 4K Ultra falls to 53.3 FPS. Therefore, 1440p High (134.9 FPS) or 1080p Ultra (120.9 FPS) offer the best balance of visual quality and frame rate.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this pairing?

A: The data points to the GPU. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 54,450 is near the top of its class (94th percentile), while the GPU’s score of 28,238 is only at the 72nd percentile. The steady FPS decline from 1080p to 4K (310 to 145.2 FPS at Low settings) is characteristic of a GPU bottleneck.

Q: How does the RTX 3070 compare to its nearest rival, the RX 6600 XT?

A: The RTX 3070’s average benchmark score is 28,238 versus 27,985 for the RX 6600 XT, a delta of 0.9%. In practice, this means the two cards perform nearly identically in synthetic tests, though the RTX 3070’s 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth may provide an edge in texture-heavy scenes.

*Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming in Undisputed?*

A: Yes, but not at the highest settings. At 4K Low, the combo averages 145.2 FPS; at High it drops to 85 FPS; at Ultra it falls to 53.3 FPS. For a consistent 60 FPS, High settings at 4K are the practical ceiling.

Q: What is the CPU’s multi-threaded performance relative to its closest rival?

A: The Ryzen 9 9900X scores 46,438 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, has an average benchmark score of 54,681, which is just 0.4% higher. This indicates the two CPUs are effectively identical in overall throughput.

Q: Does the 8 GB VRAM of the RTX 3070 cause issues at any tested resolution?

A: The frame rate data suggests it becomes a factor at 4K Ultra, where the average drops to 53.3 FPS. At lower resolutions and settings, the FPS remains high, indicating the VRAM capacity is sufficient up to 1440p Ultra (84.3 FPS) but may be a constraint at 4K with maxed-out textures.
