This close grouping indicates the 270K Plus competes with workstation-class server processors, though these are unlikely to be gaming-focused builds.

The GPU's 81st percentile ranking (average score 37,648) places it above the majority of graphics cards. Its nearest rivals are the Tesla P4 (37,628) and RX Vega 56 (37,507), both older architectures. The RTX 4070's Ada Lovelace architecture with 5,888 shading units and 46 RT cores provides strong rasterization performance for sports titles like Undisputed.

The combination of a 96th percentile CPU with an 81st percentile GPU creates a system where the GPU is more likely to be the limiting factor. This is confirmed by the frame rate scaling across resolutions: at 1080p Low, the system hits 374 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 66 FPS. The combo rank of 651 reflects this balanced but GPU-limited configuration.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a consistent pattern of performance scaling as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 374 FPS average, which drops by 27.5% to 271 FPS at 1440p Low, and further to 171 FPS at 4K Low. This scaling pattern indicates that even at Low settings, the GPU becomes increasingly stressed as pixel count rises.

For Medium settings, the progression is similar: 269 FPS at 1080p, 195 FPS at 1440p (a 27.5% drop), and 123 FPS at 4K (a 36.9% drop from 1440p). The minimum frame rates also scale accordingly: 229 at 1080p, 165 at 1440p, and 105 at 4K. This consistent 25-35% reduction per resolution step suggests a well-balanced system where neither component is severely bottlenecking.

High settings show the same trend with 223 FPS at 1080p, 161 FPS at 1440p (27.8% drop), and 102 FPS at 4K (36.6% drop from 1440p). The scaling from 1080p to 4K at High settings results in a 54.3% reduction in average FPS, indicating that the RTX 4070's 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are progressively more taxed.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest scaling curve: 143 FPS at 1080p, 104 FPS at 1440p (27.3% drop), and 66 FPS at 4K (36.5% drop from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result of 66 FPS represents the only configuration that approaches the boundary of smooth gameplay, suggesting that this setting combination is the practical limit for the combo.

The resolution scaling analysis strongly indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor across all settings. The CPU's high multi-threaded performance (44,253 in Cinebench R23) ensures that frame rates are not CPU-bound even at 1080p Low, where 374 FPS is achieved. The consistent nature of the FPS drops between resolutions points to the RTX 4070's rendering pipeline as the bottleneck.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates exceptional performance across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 374 FPS, which is the highest reading in the entire dataset. Medium settings average 269 FPS with a minimum of 229 and maximum of 310 FPS. High settings yield 223 FPS average, while Ultra settings drop to 143 FPS. All 1080p configurations exceed 140 FPS, making this resolution ideal for high-refresh-rate displays.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows expected reductions. Low settings average 271 FPS, Medium averages 195 FPS (min 165, max 224), High averages 161 FPS, and Ultra averages 104 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result of 104 FPS remains comfortably above 60 FPS, providing smooth gameplay for most users. The minimum frame rate at Medium (165 FPS) indicates consistent performance without significant stuttering.

At 3840x2160, the system's limits become apparent. Low settings average 171 FPS, Medium averages 123 FPS (min 105, max 142), High averages 102 FPS, and Ultra drops to 66 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only reading below 100 FPS in the entire dataset, suggesting that this is the most demanding configuration. Even at 4K, however, the system maintains playable frame rates across all settings.

The data shows that Medium settings provide the most balanced experience across all resolutions, with the highest minimum frame rates recorded (229 at 1080p, 165 at 1440p, 105 at 4K). High settings offer a modest visual upgrade over Medium but at the cost of 17-21% lower average FPS. Ultra settings provide the best visual fidelity but require significant performance sacrifices, particularly at 4K where the average drops to 66 FPS.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 plays a critical role in determining the system's gaming performance. With 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, the GPU provides 504.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The 5 nm Ada Lovelace architecture, built on the AD104 chip with 35,800 million transistors, delivers 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance. The GPU's boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1920 MHz contribute to its strong showing in Undisputed.

The RTX 4070's 81st percentile ranking among all GPUs (average score 37,648) places it above most competing graphics cards. Its nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the Tesla P4 (37,628) and RX Vega 56 (37,507), both of which are older or specialized products. The RTX 4080 Mobile (38,135) is 1.3% faster, while the Radeon PRO W6400 (37,157) is 1.3% slower. These comparisons highlight the RTX 4070's position as a solid mid-to-high range desktop GPU.

The GPU's 12 GB of VRAM proves sufficient across all tested settings in Undisputed, a sports title that does not require extreme texture memory. Even at 4K Ultra settings, the system maintains 66 FPS average, indicating that VRAM capacity is not a limiting factor. The 184 texture mapping units and 64 ROPs provide 455.4 GTexel/s of texture fill rate and 158.4 GPixel/s of pixel rate, respectively, ensuring adequate bandwidth for high-resolution rendering.

The Ada Lovelace architecture's 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores provide additional capabilities that may not be fully utilized in this title, as Undisputed is primarily a rasterization-focused game. The GPU's DirectX 12 Ultimate support and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility ensure broad API coverage. The 200 W TDP and 550 W suggested PSU requirement indicate this is a power-efficient card for its performance class.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, Medium settings offer the best balance of visual quality and performance across all resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers 269 FPS average with a minimum of 229 FPS, providing a smooth experience on even the highest refresh rate monitors. At 1440p, Medium maintains 195 FPS average (min 165 FPS), which is ideal for 144Hz displays. Even at 4K, Medium achieves 123 FPS average with a minimum of 105 FPS, making it the only preset that stays above 100 FPS at 4K.

High settings are recommended for users prioritizing visual fidelity over maximum frame rates. At 1080p, High delivers 223 FPS average, which remains excellent. At 1440p, the 161 FPS average is still suitable for high-refresh-rate gaming. However, at 4K, High drops to 102 FPS average, which approaches the 100 FPS threshold but remains playable. The step from Medium to High costs approximately 20% performance at each resolution.

Ultra settings should only be considered at 1080p or 1440p. At 1080p, Ultra achieves 143 FPS average, which is still smooth. At 1440p, the 104 FPS average is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. At 4K, Ultra's 66 FPS average falls below the 100 FPS mark and may not provide a consistent experience on higher refresh rate displays. Users with 60Hz displays may find 4K Ultra acceptable, but those with 120Hz+ monitors should prefer High or Medium at 4K.

Low settings provide the highest possible frame rates, with 374 FPS at 1080p, 271 FPS at 1440p, and 171 FPS at 4K. These settings are recommended for competitive play where frame rate is paramount, though the visual compromise may not be worth the performance gain for most users. The data suggests that Medium settings at 1440p provide the optimal balance, delivering 195 FPS average with a minimum of 165 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most gaming monitors while maintaining reasonable visual quality.
