GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is a critical component, and its specifications directly influence the measured frame rates. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, it offers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the textures and data loads at all tested resolutions. The card's boost clock of 2475 MHz, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, allows it to achieve a texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s and a pixel rate of 158.4 GPixel/s. This raw throughput is the engine behind the high FPS numbers, particularly at lower settings where the GPU is not as heavily taxed.

The data shows how the GPU's workload scales with settings. At 4K, the jump from Low to Ultra is dramatic, with average FPS dropping from 171 to 66. This indicates that at 4K Ultra, the RTX 4070 is being pushed to its absolute limit, with the game's visual fidelity demands outweighing the card's raw power. Conversely, at 1080p, even the Ultra preset yields 143 FPS, showing that the GPU has ample headroom to produce high frame rates when the resolution is lower. The GPU's role is thus the primary determinant of performance, with the CPU providing a stable foundation that allows the GPU to stretch its legs across the entire spectrum of settings.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance for the optimal experience. For players prioritizing a perfectly stable 60 FPS experience with maximum visual quality, the 4K Ultra preset is viable, averaging 66 FPS. However, for those with high-refresh-rate monitors or who prefer a buffer against frame drops, the 4K High preset is the superior choice, delivering 102 FPS while still maintaining high visual fidelity. The 4K Medium preset offers a balanced middle ground at 123 FPS, with a minimum of 105 FPS ensuring no noticeable stutters.

At 1440p, the choice is easier. The 1440p Ultra preset hits 104 FPS, which is excellent for most displays. Yet, the 1440p High preset at 161 FPS is the sweet spot, offering a substantial increase in smoothness with a minimal visual compromise over Ultra. For maximum competitive performance, 1440p Low reaches 271 FPS, but this sacrifices the game's graphical polish. The data suggests that High settings provide the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions, making it the recommended default for a premium experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results provide a comprehensive look at performance across three resolutions and four quality presets.

1920x1080: The system is exceptionally fast here. The Low preset achieves an average of 374 FPS, which is extraordinarily high and far beyond any display's refresh rate. Medium averages 269 FPS with a minimum of 229 FPS and a maximum of 310 FPS, showing great consistency. High drops to 223 FPS, still incredibly smooth. Even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 143 FPS, confirming that at 1080p, the RTX 4070 has more than enough power to handle Undisputed at its highest settings with ease.

2560x1440: Performance remains stellar. The Low preset averages 271 FPS. Medium provides 195 FPS, with a minimum of 165 FPS and a maximum of 224 FPS. High is a strong 161 FPS. The Ultra preset, while still very playable, sees a more significant drop to 104 FPS. This shows that the transition to 1440p begins to place a heavier load on the GPU, but the combination still delivers high-refresh-rate performance on the High and Medium presets.

3840x2160: At 4K, the GPU's limits become apparent. The Low preset averages 171 FPS, showing the card's raw power. Medium averages 123 FPS, with a minimum of 105 FPS and a maximum of 142 FPS. High is a smooth 102 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, averaging just 66 FPS. This is still above the 60 FPS threshold for console-like smoothness, but it represents the only setting where the system cannot maintain triple-digit frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p, the average FPS across settings is exceptionally high (e.g., 374 FPS on Low, 223 FPS on High), indicating the system is heavily CPU-bound or limited by game logic at this resolution. The CPU's 12 cores and 24 threads, with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, are more than capable of feeding the GPU, but the frame rates suggest the engine's render thread is the limiting factor.

Moving to 1440p, we see a significant drop. The High preset falls from 223 FPS to 161 FPS, a 28% reduction. This shows the GPU is now becoming a more significant bottleneck, as the increased pixel count demands more from the RTX 4070. The Medium preset drops from 269 FPS to 195 FPS, a similar proportional decrease. This transition marks the point where the load begins to shift from the CPU to the GPU.

At 4K, the GPU is fully saturated. The High preset drops from 161 FPS at 1440p to 102 FPS at 4K, a 37% reduction. The Ultra preset takes the biggest hit, falling from 104 FPS to 66 FPS. This steep decline at 4K, particularly on Ultra, is a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario. The RTX 4070 is working at its maximum capacity, and the 12 GB of VRAM and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are being heavily taxed. The CPU, while powerful, has ample headroom, as evidenced by the still-high frame rates at 1080p, confirming that the GPU is the performance limiter at higher resolutions.
