Undisputed

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers a clear performance hierarchy in Undisputed, with frame rates scaling predictably as resolution and settings increase. The data shows a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU's capability becomes more apparent only at lower settings and resolutions. This analysis walks through the measured results to explain what the numbers mean for gameplay and system balance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent and steep drop in performance as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 267 FPS at 1080p to 193 FPS at 1440p, and further to 122 FPS at 4K. That represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is substantial but still leaves the game highly playable. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings shows a 28% drop, while the step from 1440p to 4K is a 37% drop, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor as pixel count increases.

At Medium settings, the pattern is similar but with tighter numbers. The average FPS at 1080p is 192, dropping to 139 at 1440p and 88 at 4K. The percentage decline from 1080p to 4K here is 54%, nearly identical to Low settings, which suggests the rendering load scales consistently with resolution regardless of preset. The min and max FPS values for Medium settings also show the spread widening at lower resolutions: at 1080p, the range is 163 to 221 FPS, while at 4K it narrows to 75 to 101 FPS. This tighter range at 4K indicates the GPU is working near its limit, reducing frame-time variance.

High settings show a more pronounced drop. The average FPS goes from 159 at 1080p to 115 at 1440p, then down to 73 at 4K. The decline from 1080p to 4K is 54% again, reinforcing that resolution scaling is the dominant factor. However, the absolute numbers at 4K High (73 FPS) are close to the 4K Medium result (88 FPS), suggesting that the High preset is only modestly more demanding than Medium in this title.

Ultra settings produce the lowest frame rates across all resolutions. At 1080p, the average is 102 FPS, dropping to 74 at 1440p and 47 at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration that falls below 60 FPS, making it the first point where smooth gameplay becomes questionable. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is 54%, consistent with the other presets, which indicates that the game's resolution scaling is linear across settings.

The overall pattern points to a GPU-bound scenario at 4K, where the RTX 5070's raw throughput is the primary constraint. At 1080p Low, the 267 FPS average suggests the CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently, but the rapid decline at higher resolutions shows that the graphics card is the bottleneck for most configurations. The fact that the percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is nearly identical across all four settings (54% for Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) confirms that resolution is the primary lever affecting performance, not the preset quality.

How This Combo Ranks

In Undisputed, this combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H and RTX 5070 ranks 2056 out of 3718 tested combos. That places it in the 45th percentile of all system pairings, meaning slightly more than half of the tested configurations outperform it. While this rank might seem mediocre, it's important to context that the database includes a wide range of hardware, from budget laptops to high-end desktops. The rank is a relative measure, and the actual frame rates in the measured data show this combo is far from weak.

The CPU itself ranks in the 83rd percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 32697. This indicates the Core Ultra 7 155H is a solid performer for its class. Its nearest rivals in the CPU rankings are the Intel Core i5-14600T with an average score of 32707 (a 0% delta), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 at 32662 (a 0.1% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F at 32750 (a -0.2% delta). The differences are minimal, meaning the 155H sits in a tight performance band with these alternatives, and its 83rd percentile placement reflects that it outclasses a majority of CPUs.

These deltas are all within 2%, indicating that the GPU's performance is competitive with these professional-grade cards, though not dramatically superior.

The combo rank of 2056 out of 3718 means that in the specific context of Undisputed, the pairing is mid-pack. However, the measured FPS data tells a more nuanced story. At 1080p Low and Medium, the combo delivers 267 and 192 FPS respectively, which are excellent results that would satisfy any competitive player. Even at 4K High, the 73 FPS average is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play. The rank is dragged down by the 4K Ultra result of 47 FPS, but that is an extreme setting that the data suggests is not intended for this hardware.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and the desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, all settings are playable, but the data favors Medium for a balance of quality and performance. The Medium preset delivers 192 FPS average with a minimum of 163 FPS, which is well above any competitive threshold. High settings at 1080p yield 159 FPS, which is still excellent, but the 33 FPS difference between High and Medium is noticeable. Low settings at 1080p reach 267 FPS, which is overkill for most displays and sacrifices visual fidelity for no practical gain.

At 2560x1440, Medium is the clear sweet spot. The 139 FPS average with a minimum of 118 FPS ensures smooth gameplay on high-refresh monitors. High settings at 1440p drop to 115 FPS, which is still good, but the 24 FPS reduction from Medium to High is significant. Low settings at 1440p produce 193 FPS, which is excessive for most 1440p displays that typically cap at 165 Hz or 240 Hz. Ultra at 1440p falls to 74 FPS, which is playable but close to the edge for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation is Medium or High, depending on the user's tolerance for frame rate dips. Medium at 4K delivers 88 FPS average with a minimum of 75 FPS, which is smooth and consistent. High at 4K drops to 73 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS but with less headroom. Low at 4K reaches 122 FPS, which is surprisingly high and suggests that Low settings are not visually demanding enough to stress the GPU. Ultra at 4K is not recommended, as the 47 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold and would result in noticeable stuttering during fast action.

For the best overall experience, the data supports Medium settings at any resolution. At 1080p, Medium provides 192 FPS, at 1440p it provides 139 FPS, and at 4K it provides 88 FPS. These numbers are all above 60 FPS and offer a balance between visual quality and performance. High settings are a viable alternative for those prioritizing image quality, but the frame rate sacrifice is substantial at 1440p and 4K. Ultra should be avoided at 4K and is only marginally acceptable at 1440p.

The GPU has 6144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, with a boost clock of 2512 MHz and a base clock of 2325 MHz. The memory operates at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is dominant at higher resolutions. The measured FPS data shows that at 4K, the RTX 5070's throughput is the limiting factor, with the average FPS ranging from 122 at Low settings to 47 at Ultra. The 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for this game, as the data does not indicate any memory-related stutters or crashes. The memory bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s supports the high pixel throughput required at 4K, but the sheer number of pixels still overwhelms the GPU's compute units.

The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its capability. The PassMark G3D score is 29137, and the Geekbench OpenCL score is 172660, with a Vulkan score of 178923. These scores place the GPU in the 82nd percentile of all graphics cards, indicating it performs better than 82% of the tested GPUs. The nearest rivals in the GPU rankings are the AMD Radeon Pro 580 with a 0.1% delta, the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 with a 0.8% delta, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 with a -1.2% delta. The RTX 5070 is marginally faster than the Pro 580 and WX 7100, but slightly slower than the Pro 5300, showing it sits in a tight competitive band.

The RTX 5070's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is what drives the frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. At 1080p Low, the 267 FPS average indicates the GPU is not fully saturated, allowing the CPU to feed it adequately. At 4K Ultra, the 47 FPS result shows the GPU is at its limit, with the 12 GB of VRAM and 192-bit bus struggling to keep up with the extreme pixel count. The data suggests that the RTX 5070 is best suited for 1440p gaming in this title, where it delivers strong performance at Medium and High settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H is a 16-core, 22-thread processor from the Meteor Lake architecture, built on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz, with a TDP of 28 W. The CPU features 112 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 cache per core, and 24 MB of shared L3 cache. Its memory support is DDR5 with dual-channel configuration, providing a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is less prominent than the GPU, but it becomes more relevant at lower resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the 267 FPS average suggests the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output, but the 54% drop at 4K indicates the GPU becomes the bottleneck. The CPU's 16 cores and 22 threads are more than sufficient for a sports game like Undisputed, which typically relies more on single-thread performance for game logic and physics.

The CPU's benchmark scores show a balanced performer. The Cinebench R23 multicore score is 15028, with a single-core score of 1743. The PassMark single-thread score is 3468, and the multithread score is 24873. The CPU ranks in the 83rd percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 32697. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i5-14600T with a 0% delta, the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 with a 0.1% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F with a -0.2% delta. The CPU is effectively tied with these alternatives, showing that its performance is mainstream rather than exceptional.

The 28 W TDP is notable for a mobile processor, indicating that the 155H is power-efficient. The data does not show any CPU bottleneck at 1080p, where the 267 FPS Low result is high enough to saturate most displays. However, the CPU's single-core performance, as measured by the Cinebench R15 single-core score of 255, is modest compared to desktop parts. This suggests that in CPU-bound scenarios, such as physics-heavy moments or AI calculations, the 155H might hold back the GPU.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to maintain a stable frame rate floor. The min FPS values for Medium settings show 163 at 1080p, 118 at 1440p, and 75 at 4K. These minimums are all above 60 FPS, indicating the CPU is not causing frame drops. The CPU's L3 cache of 24 MB is shared, which helps with game data access, but the dual-channel memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s is sufficient for this title. Overall, the CPU is a capable partner for the RTX 5070, but it is not the star of the show in this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 267 at Low to 102 at Ultra. Low settings produce 267 FPS, Medium produces 192 FPS with a min of 163 and a max of 221, High produces 159 FPS, and Ultra produces 102 FPS. The 1080p results show that even at Ultra, the game runs above 100 FPS, making it highly playable on any high-refresh display.
