GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the primary driver of frame rates in Undisputed, particularly at higher resolutions. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, the card provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for the game’s texture and geometry data at 4K. The GPU’s boost clock of 2475 MHz and 7168 shading units deliver the raw compute power needed to push high frame rates. The benchmark results show a clear pattern: at 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 72, while at 4K Low it rises to 190.8. This 62.3% performance swing between presets indicates that the GPU’s workload scaling is the dominant factor in determining final frame rates, rather than CPU limitations.

The GPU’s 84th percentile ranking among all tested GPUs underscores its high-end positioning. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA RTX A6000, scores 42653 versus the 4070 SUPER’s 42576, a 0.2% difference that places them in the same performance tier. However, in Undisputed specifically, the 4070 SUPER’s architecture shows strong scaling, as evidenced by the 4K High result of 112.7 FPS, which remains well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play. The card’s 220W TDP and dual-slot design suggest it is a power-efficient solution for sustained gaming sessions.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, the High preset is the recommended choice across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, High delivers 249.6 FPS, which is 51.9 FPS lower than Medium’s 298.2 but offers substantially better image quality. At 2560x1440, High produces 178.4 FPS, comfortably above the 144Hz refresh rate common on modern monitors. Even at 3840x2160, High maintains 112.7 FPS, which is playable on high-refresh 4K displays.

The Ultra preset, while visually superior, exacts a heavy toll: at 1080p it drops to 161.4 FPS, at 1440p to 113.6 FPS, and at 4K to 72 FPS. These numbers are still playable, but the performance cost from High to Ultra is a 35.3% reduction at 1080p and a 36.1% reduction at 4K. For competitive play where frame rate is paramount, the Medium preset offers a significant boost—298.2 FPS at 1080p and 216.4 FPS at 1440p—making it the optimal choice for esports-style scenarios. The Low preset should only be used when chasing maximum refresh rates, as it produces 419.5 FPS at 1080p, which exceeds the capabilities of most displays.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 419.5 FPS, Medium reaches 298.2 FPS, High achieves 249.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 161.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 61.5% reduction in frame rate, but even the lowest result remains far above the typical 60 FPS target.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains robust. Low settings yield 301.7 FPS, Medium produces 216.4 FPS, High maintains 178.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 113.6 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a 28.1% average FPS drop across all settings, indicating that the GPU is still the limiting factor but has sufficient headroom.

At 3840x2160, the demand on the GPU becomes apparent. Low settings still deliver 190.8 FPS, Medium maintains 137.7 FPS, High achieves 112.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 72 FPS. The 4K results show that even the most demanding preset remains playable, but the gap between Low and Ultra widens to 62.3%, confirming the GPU’s workload is the primary constraint at this resolution.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is consistent across all settings, averaging a 55% reduction. At Low settings, the drop is from 419.5 FPS to 190.8 FPS, a 54.5% decrease. At Medium, it falls from 298.2 FPS to 137.7 FPS, a 53.8% decrease. High settings see a drop from 249.6 FPS to 112.7 FPS, a 54.8% decrease, while Ultra goes from 161.4 FPS to 72 FPS, a 55.4% decrease.

This uniform scaling pattern indicates that the system is consistently GPU-limited, as the CPU’s performance does not become a bottleneck even at lower resolutions where frame rates are highest. The 419.5 FPS result at 1080p Low suggests the CPU can feed the GPU with data faster than the GPU can render frames, but the 4K results show the GPU is the limiting component. The fact that the frame rate roughly halves when pixel count quadruples (from 2.07 million pixels at 1080p to 8.29 million at 4K) confirms that the RTX 4070 SUPER’s fill rate and shading capacity are the primary determinants of performance.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF provides a solid foundation for this gaming system, though its role in Undisputed is secondary to the GPU. With 12 cores and 20 threads based on Alder Lake architecture, the CPU offers substantial multi-threading capability, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 28979. Its boost clock of 5.00 GHz ensures strong single-thread performance, reflected in a Geekbench single-core score of 2526.

The CPU’s 89th percentile ranking among all tested processors places it above the vast majority of alternatives. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-12900HX, scores 35289 versus the i7-12700KF’s 35355, a 0.2% difference that puts them on par. The 25 MB of shared L3 cache and support for both DDR4 and DDR5 memory provide flexibility, though the benchmark data indicates that even at 1080p Low with 419.5 FPS, the CPU does not bottleneck the GPU. The PassMark multithread score of 34092 suggests that the CPU has ample headroom for any background tasks or streaming workloads while gaming.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER achieves a rank of 296 out of 1580 total combos.
