Undisputed

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a strong showing in Undisputed, but the optimal settings hinge heavily on your display’s native resolution. The measured data reveals a clear hierarchy: this combination is built for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p play, while 4K requires a careful trade-off between visual fidelity and frame rate. The benchmark results indicate that the RTX 4070 has enough headroom to push this sports title to its limits, provided you match the settings to the resolution.

Settings Recommendations

The sweet spot for this combo is the High preset. At 1920x1080, High settings produce an average of 162 FPS, which is more than sufficient for a smooth experience on any modern display. Moving to 2560x1440, the average drops to 117 FPS, still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold and well-suited for 120Hz monitors. The data shows that High offers a balanced visual upgrade over Medium without the steep performance penalty seen at Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is still the best choice, yielding an average of 74 FPS. This is the only 4K setting that consistently stays above playable frame rates. The Medium preset is a viable alternative if you prefer higher frame rates, averaging 89 FPS, but it comes with a noticeable visual downgrade. The Ultra preset, while visually impressive, is not recommended for this combination at any resolution. At 4K Ultra, the average plunges to 48 FPS, which is below the ideal threshold for a fast-paced sports title. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 75 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra, it reaches 104 FPS.

For competitive or high-refresh-rate play, the Low preset can push frame rates dramatically higher: 271 FPS at 1080p, 196 FPS at 1440p, and 124 FPS at 4K. However, the visual compromise is significant. The data suggests that most users will find the High preset to be the best experience, as it maximizes visual quality while maintaining excellent frame rates across all three resolutions. If you have a 240Hz monitor at 1080p, the Medium preset, averaging 195 FPS, is a better fit than High.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a 16-core, 22-thread processor based on the Meteor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. Its performance profile, as measured by the data, shows a strong multi-threaded capability with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15028 and a single-core score of 1743. In the context of Undisputed, a sports title that typically favors higher clock speeds for game logic and physics, the CPU’s single-thread performance is adequate, but it is not the primary bottleneck in this setup.

Benchmark results indicate that the CPU sits in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32697. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i5-14600T (deltaPct 0) and AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (deltaPct 0.1), showing that it trades blows with these chips in synthetic tests. For this game, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with enough data to maintain high frame rates. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 271 FPS, which suggests the CPU can handle high-throughput scenarios without becoming a limiting factor.

However, as resolution increases, the load shifts to the GPU. The CPU’s 24 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support provide ample bandwidth for game assets. The PassMark multi-thread score of 24873 reinforces that the processor has enough parallel processing power to handle background tasks and game streaming without impacting frame rates. In short, the Ultra 7 155H is a capable partner for the RTX 4070, ensuring that Undisputed runs smoothly without showing signs of CPU-induced stuttering, even at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 200 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the dominant component in this pairing. Built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process, it features 5888 shading units, 184 tensor cores, and 46 RT cores. The GPU has a base clock of 1920 MHz and a boost clock of 2475 MHz, with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This memory configuration is crucial for Undisputed, as the game’s textures and character models can be demanding at higher settings.

The GPU’s performance is reflected in its 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37648. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (deltaPct 0.1) and the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (deltaPct 0.4), indicating that the RTX 4070 sits in a competitive mid-to-high tier. In gaming, the data shows a clear scaling pattern. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 195, with a minimum of 166 FPS and a maximum of 225 FPS. This consistency suggests the GPU is well-utilized.

The RTX 4070’s 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for Undisputed at all tested settings, as there are no signs of memory-related stutters in the measured data. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 29.15 TFLOPS and texture rate of 455.4 GTexel/s indicate it can handle the game’s rendering demands efficiently. The critical takeaway is that the GPU is the primary driver of frame rates in this combo. As you increase resolution from 1080p to 4K, the performance drop is significant, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. The RTX 4070 provides a solid foundation for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p, but at 4K, it requires settings adjustments to maintain playable frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

In the combined ranking for Undisputed, this specific configuration of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 sits at rank 1503 out of 2813 tested combos. This places it in the upper-middle tier of all possible system configurations. The percentile data for the two components gives context: the CPU is in the 83rd percentile, while the GPU is in the 81st percentile. This suggests that the combo is well-balanced, with neither component significantly outperforming the other relative to their respective pools.

The rank of 1503 indicates that there are many other combinations that can achieve higher frame rates, likely those pairing higher-end desktop CPUs with more powerful GPUs. However, this is a mobile CPU paired with a desktop-class GPU, which is an unusual but potent mix. The data shows that this combo outperforms a significant portion of the tested systems, making it a viable option for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p gaming. The deltaPct values from the nearest rivals suggest that the CPU is not holding the GPU back, as its performance is nearly identical to its closest competitors. For a sports game like Undisputed, this rank is respectable and indicates that users can expect a smooth experience at medium-to-high settings without needing to overclock or tweak system parameters.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a predictable decline as resolution increases, which is a classic sign of a GPU-bound workload. At 1920x1080 High, the combo averages 162 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 High, the average drops to 117 FPS, a reduction of 45 FPS. At 3840x2160 High, the average falls to 74 FPS, another 43 FPS reduction. This linear scaling pattern indicates that the RTX 4070’s rendering capabilities are being taxed proportionally with the pixel count.

The scaling is more pronounced at lower settings. At 1080p Low, the average is 271 FPS; at 1440p Low, it drops to 196 FPS; and at 4K Low, it reaches 124 FPS. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is approximately 54%, while at High settings, it is approximately 54% as well. This consistency suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor across all settings. The CPU’s performance is sufficient to maintain high frame rates even at 1080p, as evidenced by the 271 FPS average, which means the bottleneck is entirely on the GPU’s ability to fill pixels.

For 4K gaming, the data suggests that the RTX 4070 is just barely sufficient for High settings, with an average of 74 FPS. If you want to maintain a 60 FPS minimum, the Medium preset, with a minimum of 76 FPS, is the safest choice. The 4K Ultra preset is not viable, as the 48 FPS average falls below playable standards. This resolution scaling analysis underscores that the combo is best suited for 1440p High, where it delivers a smooth 117 FPS average, or 1080p Medium, where it can push 195 FPS for competitive play.
