GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the dominant performance driver in this configuration for Undisputed, especially as resolution and graphical fidelity increase. The data shows a clear scaling pattern where the GPU's workload expands significantly with each step up in resolution and settings. The GPU's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 504.2 GB/s bandwidth provides sufficient headroom for the game's assets at 4K. The measured FPS demonstrates that the card is capable of delivering high refresh-rate gameplay at 1080p and 1440p, while remaining playable at 4K on higher presets.

The GPU's clock speeds, with a base of 1980 MHz and a boost of 2475 MHz, contribute to its raw processing power. This is reflected in its FP32 performance of 35.48 TFLOPS, which translates directly into the high frame counts observed in the benchmark data. The card's 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores also suggest it is prepared for any additional rendering features, though the current Undisputed data does not specify ray tracing performance. With a 220W TDP and a suggested 550W PSU, the system is well within standard power delivery parameters for a high-end gaming rig.

The transition from 1080p to 1440p and 4K shows a predictable increase in GPU load. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the system achieves 248 FPS, but this drops to 179 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 113 FPS at 3840x2160. This scaling indicates the RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, as the frame rate is heavily influenced by the GPU's rendering capabilities. The CPU, with its strong multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 19784), is more than capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions, but the GPU's workload becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a classic pattern of performance scaling across resolutions, confirming the system's balance shifts from a more balanced load at 1080p to a heavily GPU-bound state at 4K. Looking at the High settings preset, the average frame rate drops from 248 FPS at 1920x1080 to 179 FPS at 2560x1440, a 27.8% decrease. Moving from 1440p to 4K, the frame rate drops a further 36.9% to 113 FPS. This accelerating drop-off as resolution increases is a clear indicator that the GPU is the limiting component at higher pixel counts.

The scaling pattern is even more pronounced on the Low settings preset. At 1920x1080, the system produces an astronomical 417 FPS, which drops to 301 FPS at 2560x1440 and then to 191 FPS at 3840x2160. The fact that the system can nearly double its frame rate at 1080p Low compared to 4K Low shows the immense headroom available when the GPU is less stressed. This suggests that at 1080p, the system may be partially limited by the CPU or other system components, as the GPU is capable of far more than the 417 FPS observed, but the frame rate is still exceptionally high.

For players targeting high refresh-rate monitors, the 2560x1440 resolution appears to be the sweet spot. On Medium settings, the system achieves 217 FPS, which is well above the threshold for 144Hz and 165Hz displays. Even at 4K, the system remains viable for most gaming scenarios, with 113 FPS on High and 73 FPS on Ultra. The data shows that moving from 1440p to 4K incurs a significant performance penalty, but the RTX 4070 SUPER has enough power to keep frame rates playable, making 4K a realistic option for those who prioritize visual quality over maximum refresh rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-12700K and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination holds a combo rank of 651 out of 3718 tested configurations in Undisputed. This places the system in the top 17.5% of all setups, indicating a high level of performance that should satisfy most gamers. The ranking reflects the strong synergy between the two components, with the CPU providing ample processing power and the GPU delivering the graphical muscle needed for high frame rates.

The CPU itself is a robust performer, with an average benchmark score of 35287 and an 84th percentile ranking against all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-12700KF (score 35365, delta -0.2%) and the Intel Core i5-13600T (score 35305, delta -0.1%), are nearly identical in performance, showing that the i7-12700K is at the top of its class. This strong CPU foundation ensures that it will not bottleneck the GPU in most gaming scenarios, particularly at higher resolutions where the GPU is the primary workload.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 SUPER holds an 83rd percentile ranking, with an average score of 43223. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, is a full 0.1% behind, while the RTX 4090 Mobile is only 1% ahead. This places the desktop RTX 4070 SUPER in a competitive position, offering performance that rivals professional-grade cards from previous generations. The combination of a top-tier CPU and a high-end GPU results in a system that is well-positioned to deliver a premium gaming experience in Undisputed.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this system depend heavily on the user's display and performance priorities. For players with a 1080p monitor, the High preset is the most balanced choice, delivering an average of 248 FPS. This provides a massive buffer above even the fastest 240Hz monitors, ensuring a perfectly smooth experience. The Ultra preset at 1080p also delivers a very high 160 FPS, making it a viable option for those who want maximum visual quality without sacrificing competitive performance.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the recommended starting point, as it achieves 179 FPS, comfortably supporting 144Hz and 165Hz displays. The Medium preset offers a significant boost to 217 FPS for those with 240Hz monitors, but the visual fidelity reduction may not be worth it for most users. The Ultra preset at 1440p drops to 115 FPS, which is still playable but may not fully utilize high-refresh-rate panels. The data suggests that High is the sweet spot for 1440p, balancing visual quality with a frame rate that exceeds the refresh rate of most gaming monitors.

For 4K gaming, the High preset provides the best experience, with an average of 113 FPS. This is high enough for smooth gameplay on 60Hz and even some 120Hz displays. The Ultra preset drops to 73 FPS, which is still playable but introduces a more noticeable reduction in smoothness, particularly in fast-paced sports action. The Medium preset at 4K offers 137 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh 4K displays, but the visual quality trade-off may be substantial. Ultimately, the High preset at 4K strikes the best balance between performance and visual fidelity, making it the recommended choice for this resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its maximum potential, with frame rates soaring across all presets. The Low setting produces an average of 417 FPS, which is the highest measured in the entire dataset. Medium settings yield 300 FPS, with a minimum of 255 FPS and a maximum of 345 FPS. High settings deliver a strong 248 FPS average, while Ultra settings still manage an impressive 160 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system is rarely a bottleneck, and users can expect consistently high performance regardless of the visual settings chosen.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptionally high but shows the expected scaling. The Low preset averages 301 FPS, which is still well above the threshold for any gaming monitor. Medium settings produce 217 FPS, with a minimum of 184 FPS and a maximum of 249 FPS. High settings deliver a solid 179 FPS, while Ultra settings drop to 115 FPS. This resolution demonstrates the RTX 4070 SUPER's capability to handle high refresh rates even at a higher pixel count, with only the Ultra preset falling below the 144Hz threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, but the system still delivers respectable results. The Low preset averages 191 FPS, which is excellent for 4K gaming. Medium settings produce 137 FPS, with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 158 FPS. High settings average 113 FPS, providing a smooth experience on 60Hz displays and most 120Hz panels. Ultra settings drop to 73 FPS, which is the lowest average measured but remains playable. The data shows that even at 4K, the system can handle the game well, with the High preset offering the best balance of quality and performance.
