GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has a base clock of 1980 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with 7168 shading units and 56 RT cores. These specifications directly influence the game's visual output, as the 12 GB frame buffer is sufficient for high-resolution textures in Undisputed.

The GPU's role becomes increasingly apparent at higher settings. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is dramatic: 190.7 FPS versus 73.2 FPS. This 117.5 FPS gap demonstrates how the GPU's compute resources are taxed by the game's visual effects at maximum quality. The RTX 4070 SUPER's 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 performance is the key factor here, as the game relies heavily on rasterization rather than ray tracing, given the sports genre.

The memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s proves adequate for 4K rendering, as evidenced by the 112.2 FPS at High settings. However, the Ultra preset appears to push the GPU into a more demanding regime where the combination of shading units and memory bandwidth becomes the limiting factor. The GPU's 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database reinforces that this is a capable part, but not at the absolute top tier.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows a consistent pattern of FPS dropping as resolution increases, but the magnitude of the drop varies significantly by settings. At Low settings, the game scales from 415.2 FPS at 1080p to 304.9 FPS at 1440p, then to 190.7 FPS at 4K. This represents a 54.1% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 37.4% further reduction to 4K.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is more severe in absolute terms: 159.2 FPS at 1080p, 117.3 FPS at 1440p, and 73.2 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 4K drop of 86 FPS at Ultra is substantial, indicating that the GPU becomes the bottleneck at 4K Ultra. In contrast, at Low settings, the 1080p to 4K drop of 224.5 FPS suggests the game is heavily GPU-bound even at lower settings, though the absolute FPS remains high.

The resolution scaling pattern reveals that Undisputed is primarily GPU-limited across all tested configurations. At 1080p Low, the 415.2 FPS figure approaches what might be expected from a CPU-limited scenario, but the steady decline with each resolution increase points to the RTX 4070 SUPER being the dominant factor. The CPU's role is more prominent at lower resolutions and settings, where it can feed the GPU sufficiently.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the RTX 4070 SUPER and Ryzen 9 9900X deliver exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce 415.2 FPS, Medium yields 299.9 FPS, High achieves 246.4 FPS, and Ultra maintains 159.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 61.7% reduction, which is substantial but still leaves even the lowest figure well above typical high-refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows the expected decline. Low settings drop to 304.9 FPS, Medium to 217.2 FPS, High to 178.9 FPS, and Ultra to 117.3 FPS. The Ultra setting at 1440p is the first configuration in the dataset to fall below 120 FPS, suggesting that this is the threshold where the GPU starts to feel the pressure of higher pixel counts.

At 3840x2160, the performance characteristics change more dramatically. Low settings still produce 190.7 FPS, which is excellent for 4K. Medium settings yield 135.5 FPS, and High settings manage 112.2 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 73.2 FPS, which is the only configuration in the entire dataset that falls below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The gap between Medium and Ultra at 4K is 62.3 FPS, highlighting how the Ultra preset significantly increases the GPU workload.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination achieves a rank of 298 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 81st percentile of all configurations. This is a strong showing, though not at the absolute top tier. The CPU's 94th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the GPU's 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggest that the combo's overall rank is constrained more by the GPU than the CPU.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for its contribution. The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D has an average benchmark score of 54681, just 0.4% higher than the 9900X's 54450. The Intel Core i7-14700F scores 54097, which is 0.7% lower. The Intel Core Ultra 5 245K and 245KF score 55304 and 55421 respectively, putting them 1.5% and 1.8% higher. These small deltas indicate that the 9900X is well-matched against its direct competitors.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show similar tight competition. The NVIDIA RTX A6000 scores 42653, just 0.2% higher than the RTX 4070 SUPER's 42576. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 42723, 0.3% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro 580X and NVIDIA Tesla M40 score 41991 and 41897 respectively, which are 1.4% and 1.6% lower. This clustering suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER sits in a competitive performance band.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X brings 12 cores and 24 threads based on the Zen 5 architecture, with a base clock of 4.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. The 64 MB of shared L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth provide ample resources for game logic and physics calculations in Undisputed. The CPU's 94th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it is well above average for gaming workloads.

In this game, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the 415.2 FPS figure suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates. The Cinebench R23 scores of 6555 single-core and 46438 multi-core demonstrate strong performance in both lightly and heavily threaded workloads, which is relevant for a sports game that may use multiple threads for simulation.

The CPU's 3DMark scores show scaling from 1286 single-thread to 13929 max-threads, indicating good thread utilization. However, the data suggests that Undisputed is not heavily CPU-bound at higher resolutions, as the FPS drops consistently with resolution increases. The CPU's performance is sufficient to avoid becoming a limiting factor in most configurations, with the GPU taking over as the primary constraint at 4K Ultra. The 120 W TDP and 4 nm process node from TSMC contribute to efficient operation, though these factors are secondary to the measured performance outcomes.
