FAQ

Q: Is the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D a strong performer in synthetic benchmarks?

A: Yes. The CPU scores 59,712 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 8,430 in single-core, with a 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score of 71,660 places it 1.8% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and 2.2% ahead of the Intel Core i7-14700KF.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RTX 4070’s average benchmark score of 37,283 places it 0.6% below the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 and 1.9% below the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A. It sits 2.5% above the AMD Radeon RX 5300M, and its 81st percentile ranking indicates solid overall performance.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 4K gameplay?

A: At 3840x2160, Medium settings provide the best balance, delivering 126.4 FPS. High settings drop to 103.6 FPS, while Ultra falls to 65.9 FPS. Low settings reach 170.6 FPS but likely sacrifice visual quality for minimal competitive gain.

Q: Does the CPU or GPU limit performance at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the CPU appears to be the limiting factor, as the frame rate scales from 373.9 FPS on Low to 143.4 FPS on Ultra. The RTX 4070 has enough headroom to render these frames, but the Ryzen 9 9950X3D’s 16 cores and 5.70 GHz boost clock keep pace efficiently.

Q: How much VRAM does the RTX 4070 have, and is it sufficient?

A: The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. This proves sufficient for Undisputed, as even 4K Ultra maintains 65.9 FPS without reported memory-related stuttering.

Q: What is the combo’s overall rank in this game?

A: The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and RTX 4070 combination ranks 433rd out of 1,580 tested combos, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all configurations tested for Undisputed.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data reveals a clear sweet spot for each resolution. At 1920x1080, High settings deliver 224.3 FPS, while Ultra drops to 143.4 FPS—a 36% performance hit for presumably marginal visual gains. Medium settings at 266.6 FPS offer the highest frame rate above the 240 Hz threshold, making it ideal for competitive play. For 2560x1440, High settings at 159.5 FPS outperform Ultra’s 103.5 FPS, and the 193.2 FPS from Medium remains viable for high-refresh monitors. At 3840x2160, Medium settings at 126.4 FPS provide the most stable experience, as Ultra’s 65.9 FPS approaches the lower bound of smooth gameplay. Low settings across all resolutions produce inflated frame rates—373.9 FPS at 1080p and 170.6 FPS at 4K—but these likely sacrifice too much visual detail for a sports title where immersion matters. The data suggests prioritizing Medium or High presets, with Ultra reserved for users with displays capped at 60-120 Hz who prioritize fidelity over speed.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K reveals a consistent pattern of frame rate decline across all settings. At Low, the drop from 373.9 FPS to 170.6 FPS represents a 54% reduction, while Medium falls from 266.6 FPS to 126.4 FPS (53% decrease). High settings decline from 224.3 FPS to 103.6 FPS (54% drop), and Ultra from 143.4 FPS to 65.9 FPS (54% reduction). This uniform scaling suggests the game’s rendering pipeline is heavily pixel-bound, not compute-bound. The RTX 4070’s 5 nm process node and 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 performance handle the increased pixel workload proportionally, while the Ryzen 9 9950X3D’s 128 MB shared L3 cache and 89.6 GB/s memory bandwidth ensure the CPU side remains stable. Notably, the 1440p results show less severe scaling: Ultra drops 28% from 1080p, while High drops 29%, indicating the GPU’s 192-bit memory bus and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth maintain efficiency up to 1440p before hitting a wall at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 373.9 FPS on Low, 266.6 FPS on Medium, 224.3 FPS on High, and 143.4 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate a wide performance envelope, with Ultra still exceeding 144 Hz. Moving to 2560x1440, frames drop to 270.4 FPS on Low, 193.2 FPS on Medium, 159.5 FPS on High, and 103.5 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p Ultra result falls below the 120 Hz threshold, suggesting users with high-refresh 1440p panels should stick to High. At 3840x2160, the figures become 170.6 FPS (Low), 126.4 FPS (Medium), 103.6 FPS (High), and 65.9 FPS (Ultra). The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration that dips below 60 FPS, though it still remains playable. Across all resolutions, the delta between Low and Ultra is consistent at roughly 62% of the Low value, indicating the game’s settings scale linearly rather than exponentially. The RTX 4070’s 184 TMUs and 64 ROPs appear well-utilized, with the 2475 MHz boost clock providing ample raw throughput for this sports title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 serves as the primary rendering engine, and its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory proves adequate for Undisputed’s demands. The 192-bit memory bus delivers 504.2 GB/s bandwidth, which supports the observed 4K performance without visible bottlenecks. The GPU’s 5 nm process node and Ada Lovelace architecture enable 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 compute, and the 46 RT cores provide ray tracing capabilities that the game may or may not utilize—the data doesn’t specify. The 5888 shading units and 184 tensor cores handle the game’s mesh and AI workloads, while the 2475 MHz boost clock ensures consistent frame delivery. The GPU’s 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests it outperforms the average card, yet its nearest rivals—the RX Vega 56 and MX570 A—are within 2% in synthetic tests, indicating the RTX 4070’s real-world advantage comes from its memory bandwidth and driver optimizations. In Undisputed, the GPU becomes the limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the 65.9 FPS result aligns with the card’s expected performance envelope.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D provides substantial headroom for Undisputed’s simulation and physics calculations. Its 16 cores and 32 threads, based on Zen 5 architecture, deliver 59,712 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, while the 128 MB shared L3 cache accelerates data-heavy workloads. The 5.70 GHz boost clock ensures single-thread responsiveness, reflected in the 8,430 single-core score. The CPU’s 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs places it well above the RTX 4070’s 81st percentile, meaning the processor is rarely the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the 373.9 FPS result demonstrates the CPU can sustain extreme frame rates without stuttering, thanks to the 4 nm process node and 16,630 million transistors. The 170W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory (89.6 GB/s bandwidth) provide ample power and data throughput for this title. The nearest rival, the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270, scores 0.9% lower on average, while the Ryzen 9 9950X trails by 1.8%, confirming the 9950X3D’s position as a top-tier gaming CPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 achieves a rank of 433 out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the 73rd percentile, meaning roughly 27% of configurations perform better. Given that the CPU ranks in the 96th percentile and the GPU in the 81st, the combo’s overall rank reflects the GPU as the limiting factor—the CPU is clearly capable of driving higher frame rates if paired with a more powerful graphics card. In synthetic benchmarks, the CPU’s average score of 71,660 is 1.8% higher than the Ryzen 9 9950X and 2.2% higher than the Intel Core i7-14700KF, while the GPU’s score of 37,283 is 2.5% higher than the AMD Radeon RX 5300M. The data implies that upgrading the GPU would yield more significant gains than upgrading the CPU, as the 9950X3D has demonstrated headroom in this game. For users with 144Hz or 165Hz displays, this combo delivers excellent performance at 1440p High, and for 4K gaming, Medium settings provide a smooth experience. The rank suggests this is a well-balanced pairing for most scenarios, though enthusiasts seeking 4K Ultra at 120+ FPS would need to consider a higher-tier GPU.
