Undisputed

Undisputed, the boxing simulation from 2023, presents a demanding workload that scales significantly with both resolution and graphical presets. The benchmark data for the tested configuration, pairing an Intel Core i5-10400F with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, shows a system capable of delivering high frame rates across most settings, though the most extreme preset at 4K requires careful consideration. This analysis examines the measured performance data to determine optimal settings, the role of the GPU and CPU, and how this specific combination ranks against others in the database.

Settings Recommendations

The measured frame rate data across all resolutions indicates that the "High" preset offers the most balanced experience, delivering consistently high performance without the significant penalty incurred by the "Ultra" settings. At 1920x1080, the "High" preset achieves an average of 195.1 FPS, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay. While the "Low" preset reaches 322.6 FPS at the same resolution, the visual sacrifice is typically not worth the performance gain for a game like Undisputed, where detail enhances the experience. The "Medium" preset sits comfortably between the two at 234.9 FPS, but "High" provides a better visual quality-to-performance ratio for most users.

The case for "High" becomes more compelling at higher resolutions. At 2560x1440, "High" delivers 141.5 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh-rate monitors. The "Medium" preset at this resolution yields 167.4 FPS, but the marginal increase of roughly 18% may not justify the reduction in visual fidelity. The "Ultra" preset at 2560x1440 drops to 91.9 FPS, which is still playable but shows a substantial performance cost. The most demanding scenario, 3840x2160, sees "High" producing 86.6 FPS, which is generally considered smooth. The "Ultra" preset at 4K, however, only manages 55.6 FPS, falling below the 60 FPS threshold that many consider the baseline for a fluid experience.

Therefore, the "High" preset is the recommended choice across all tested resolutions. It provides a performance buffer that ensures a stable and responsive experience. For users with 1080p displays, the "High" preset's 195.1 FPS average leaves ample headroom for any potential drops during intense in-ring action. At 1440p, the 141.5 FPS average is ideal for high refresh rate panels. Even at 4K, the 86.6 FPS average is sufficient for most gaming displays, and it does not suffer from the severe performance degradation seen with "Ultra" settings. The data shows that the leap from "High" to "Ultra" is disproportionately expensive in terms of frame rate, making "High" the optimal choice for preserving both visual quality and performance.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is the primary driver of performance in this configuration. The GPU's specifications, including its 8 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus with a bandwidth of 608.3 GB/s, are well-suited for the demands of Undisputed. The benchmark results show a clear scaling pattern tied to resolution, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload. The GPU's 6144 shading units and boost clock of 1770 MHz are instrumental in processing the game's graphics. The data shows that as resolution increases, the average FPS decreases proportionally, indicating that the GPU's rendering capabilities are the limiting factor at higher pixel counts.

The GPU's memory configuration is also a key factor. The 8 GB of VRAM is sufficient for the "High" settings at all tested resolutions, as evidenced by the playable frame rates. The performance drop at "Ultra" settings, particularly at 4K, suggests that this preset may be demanding more memory bandwidth or capacity than the GPU can efficiently provide, leading to the significant FPS reduction from 86.6 to 55.6. The GPU's compute capabilities, with a FP32 performance of 21.75 TFLOPS, are substantial and contribute to the high frame rates observed at lower resolutions. The RTX 3070 Ti's position in the benchmark database, ranking in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, confirms its high-end status, though its average benchmark score of 30849 places it in close contention with the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME (0.3% delta) and AMD Radeon RX 6700 (-0.8% delta).

The data indicates that the CPU, the Intel Core i5-10400F, is not a bottleneck in most scenarios. With a boost clock of 4.30 GHz and 12 threads, the CPU provides enough processing power to feed the GPU. However, the CPU's performance percentile of 73 is slightly lower than the GPU's 74, suggesting a generally balanced pairing. The lack of minFps data in the measured rows prevents a definitive analysis of frame-time consistency, but the high average FPS figures suggest the CPU is keeping up with the GPU's demands. The GPU's role is clearly central, as the performance scaling is directly tied to its workload.

The performance is not limited by a severe bottleneck, allowing the hardware to perform to its full potential. The 639th rank out of 1580 is a solid result, showing this is a capable system for Undisputed.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable pattern of performance scaling across resolutions. The most significant factor is the leap from 1080p to 1440p, and then to 4K, with each step increasing the pixel count and thus the GPU's workload. At the "High" preset, the average frame rate drops from 195.1 FPS at 1920x1080 to 141.5 FPS at 2560x1440. This represents a 27.5% decrease in performance. The next step, from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, sees a further drop to 86.6 FPS, which is a 38.8% decrease. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as its workload scales directly with the number of pixels rendered.

This scaling behavior is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's impact on performance is relatively constant across resolutions, as its workload does not increase with pixel count. The data shows that the performance degradation is not linear, with the drop from 1440p to 4K being more severe than from 1080p to 1440p. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is becoming increasingly saturated, and its performance is constrained by its raw compute and memory bandwidth. The minimal performance difference between the "Low" and "High" presets at 1080p (322.6 vs 195.1 FPS) further confirms that the CPU is not a bottleneck at lower resolutions, as the GPU is capable of rendering many frames, and the difference is solely due to graphical workload. The pattern strongly indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is the defining component for this gaming experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following data presents the exact average frame rates measured for this configuration in Undisputed, organized by resolution and settings preset.
