Undisputed

Undisputed, the boxing simulation from 2023, presents an interesting performance profile for the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination. The data indicates that this pairing is highly capable, but the bottlenecks shift predictably as resolution and graphical load increase. The measured frame rates show a system that excels at high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming, while still providing a playable, though more demanding, 4K experience.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and expected trend: performance degrades as resolution increases, but the rate of that degradation is not uniform across all settings presets. At the "Low" settings preset, the average frame rate drops from 267 FPS at 1080p to 193 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 74 FPS. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the average falls further to 122 FPS, another 71 FPS drop. This indicates that at Low settings, the game is heavily CPU-bound at lower resolutions, with the GPU having significant headroom. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is a 27.7% reduction, and from 1440p to 4K is a 36.8% reduction, showing that the load is progressively shifting towards the GPU.

The "Medium" preset shows a similar pattern, with average FPS at 192 at 1080p, 139 at 1440p, and 88 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 53 FPS (27.6%), and from 1440p to 4K is 51 FPS (36.7%). This consistency suggests that the relative load between CPU and GPU remains similar between Low and Medium settings. Interestingly, the "High" preset shows a different scaling pattern. Average FPS are 159 at 1080p, 115 at 1440p, and 73 at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 27.7%, but the drop from 1440p to 4K is 36.5%. This is slightly less severe than the drop seen on Low and Medium, suggesting that at High settings, the GPU is becoming a more dominant factor, but the game is still well-optimized for this hardware.

The "Ultra" preset presents the most dramatic scaling. The average FPS starts at 102 at 1080p, drops to 74 at 1440p (a 27.5% reduction), and then plummets to 47 at 4K (a 36.5% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS is the only average below 60 FPS in the entire dataset, indicating a scenario where the GPU is fully saturated. The data suggests that the limiting component changes across the resolution spectrum. At 1080p, the CPU is the primary limiter, as evidenced by the high frame rates that do not scale down proportionally with resolution. As resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU's workload increases, and it becomes the bottleneck, particularly at the Ultra preset.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is a Blackwell 2.0 architecture GPU with 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. It features 48 ray tracing cores and 192 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz. It is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a significant factor in the game's performance at higher resolutions.

The GPU's role in Undisputed is clearly demonstrated by the frame rate drop when moving from Medium to Ultra settings at each resolution. At 4K, the average frame rate goes from 88 FPS on Medium to 73 FPS on High, and then down to 47 FPS on Ultra. This 41 FPS difference between Medium and Ultra at 4K highlights the substantial increase in graphical load that the RTX 5070 must process. The GPU's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are likely the key specifications driving these results. The data shows that while the RTX 5070 can handle the game at high frame rates, the Ultra preset at 4K pushes it to its limits, resulting in an average FPS that is below the generally accepted 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 82nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 40377. Its nearest rivals, the AMD Radeon Pro 580 and AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100, have average scores of 40318 and 40063, respectively, with deltaPct values of 0.1 and 0.8. This indicates that the RTX 5070's performance is very closely matched with these workstation-oriented cards in synthetic benchmarks, despite having a different architecture and feature set. The measured FPS in Undisputed, however, shows that the RTX 5070 is more than capable of delivering a high-refresh-rate experience at 1080p and 1440p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (codenamed Strix Halo). It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The CPU features a substantial 64 MB of shared L3 cache, and its 4 nm process node from TSMC contributes to its efficiency. The processor supports LPDDR5X memory over a quad-channel interface, providing a memory bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s. Its integrated graphics are the Radeon 8060S.

In this gaming context, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations. At 1080p, the CPU's strength is evident, as the system is able to achieve an average of 267 FPS at Low settings. This high frame rate is a direct result of the CPU's strong single-thread performance, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2044 and Geekbench single-core score of 2464. The 16 cores and 32 threads are more than sufficient for a sports title like Undisputed, which is unlikely to utilize all available threads. The data suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck at 1080p, as the frame rates are limited by the GPU's rendering speed.

However, as the resolution and graphical settings increase, the CPU's load decreases relative to the GPU. The performance difference between 1080p and 4K at the "Low" setting (267 FPS vs 122 FPS) is a 54.3% reduction, which is a clear sign that the GPU is taking over as the primary limiting factor. The CPU's high boost clock of 5.10 GHz and its strong Passmark single-thread score of 4147 ensure that it can keep up with the GPU's demands even at 4K, but the data shows that at higher resolutions, the game's performance is dictated by the GPU. The processor's percentile rank of 95 vs all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 77740, confirms its high-end status. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-14900K, has an average score of 79097, which is a deltaPct of -1.7, indicating that the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 is roughly on par with that flagship desktop processor in synthetic workloads.

The 4K results are where the system's limits are tested. While the Low and Medium presets provide playable frame rates, the High preset's 73 FPS average is borderline, and the Ultra preset's 47 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS target. The minimum FPS of 75 at Medium settings shows that there is some frame time variance, but it remains within an acceptable range for most users.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination is ranked 2056 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This puts it in the 55th percentile of all tested combinations. While this may seem like a middling rank, it is important to consider the context. The database includes a wide variety of hardware, from budget-oriented parts to top-tier enthusiast components. The rank of 2056 indicates that there are many other, often more expensive, combinations that can achieve higher frame rates in this specific game.

The fact that this combo is a mobile CPU paired with a desktop GPU is also a factor. The Ryzen AI Max+ 395, while powerful, is designed for high-end laptops, and its performance may be constrained by thermal and power limits compared to a desktop processor. The RTX 5070, however, is a desktop GPU, and its performance is not similarly constrained. The rank of 2056 suggests that while this is a very capable combination for a mobile platform, it does not top the charts for a desktop setup. The user can expect a high-performance experience, but not the absolute best frame rates possible, when compared to the full spectrum of hardware on this benchmark database.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the user's display resolution and performance priorities.

For 1080p gaming, the Ultra preset is the clear recommendation. With an average of 102 FPS, it provides a visually rich experience while still delivering frame rates high enough for most gaming monitors. If the user has a higher refresh rate display (e.g., 144Hz or higher), the High preset at 159 FPS or the Medium preset at 192 FPS would be better choices to maximize smoothness. The Low preset at 267 FPS is only necessary for competitive play where every frame matters.

For 1440p gaming, the High preset is the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, with an average of 115 FPS. This provides a great gaming experience on standard 1440p displays. The Ultra preset, at 74 FPS, is also viable for users who prioritize image quality over maximum frame rates. The Medium preset at 139 FPS is a good option for those who want to keep frame rates well above the 100 FPS mark.

For 4K gaming, the Medium preset is the safest recommendation, with an average of 88 FPS. This ensures a smooth and playable experience. The High preset, at 73 FPS, is a viable alternative for users who are willing to accept slightly lower frame rates for better visuals, but the Ultra preset at 47 FPS should be avoided for a consistent experience, as it drops below the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows that the jump from Medium to High at 4K is a 15 FPS loss, while the jump from High to Ultra is a 26 FPS loss, making the Ultra preset a significant performance hit.
