Settings Recommendations

The measured data for Undisputed with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 reveals a clear hierarchy across presets. The Medium preset consistently delivers the most playable experience with proper frame time consistency, as evidenced by the only available minimum FPS readings in the dataset.

At 1920x1080, Medium produces an average of 195 FPS with a minimum of 166 FPS and a maximum of 225 FPS. This represents a 66 FPS improvement over High (162 FPS) and a 91 FPS improvement over Ultra (104 FPS). While Low reaches 271 FPS, the visual quality trade-off is significant for a sports title where character models and arena details matter.

Moving to 2560x1440, Medium again provides the best balance. The 141 FPS average with a 120 FPS minimum keeps gameplay smooth on high-refresh-rate monitors. High trails at 117 FPS, while Ultra drops to 75 FPS. Low reaches 196 FPS but sacrifices too much visual fidelity for the additional headroom.

At 3840x2160, Medium remains the recommended preset. The 89 FPS average with a 76 FPS minimum stays above the 60 FPS threshold for consistent playability. High averages 74 FPS, which is acceptable but leaves less margin for demanding scenes. Ultra drops to 48 FPS, which falls below the smoothness standard for competitive play. Low reaches 124 FPS but at a quality level that undermines the 4K experience.

The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for this combo. It maintains at least 76 FPS at all resolutions while preserving enough graphical detail for a modern sports title. For users prioritizing maximum frame rates on 1080p displays, Low offers 271 FPS, but the Medium preset provides 195 FPS with far better image quality.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is the primary driver of frame rate changes across settings in Undisputed. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for the game's texture and geometry demands at 4K resolution. The memory operates at 1313 MHz, achieving 21 Gbps effective, which supports the bandwidth requirements of high-resolution rendering.

The GPU's Ada Lovelace architecture, built on TSMC's 5 nm process, contains 35,800 million transistors across a 294 mm² die. With 5888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, the card delivers 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate and 455.4 GTexel/s texture rate. The 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores provide 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance.

The benchmark results show that the GPU's workload scaling follows expected patterns. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 271 FPS, indicating the CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently at lower resolutions. As resolution increases to 4K, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, with even Low settings producing 124 FPS—a 54% reduction from 1080p Low.

The GPU's 81st percentile ranking among all tested graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 37648, places it competitively. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla P4, scores 37628 (0.1% difference), while the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507 (0.4% difference). The RTX 4080 Mobile sits 1.3% higher at 38135.

In Undisputed specifically, the 4K Ultra preset drops to 48 FPS, which suggests the game's highest settings exceed what this GPU can sustain at 4K. The 4K High preset at 74 FPS demonstrates that one step below Ultra provides a playable experience, while Medium at 89 FPS offers the best 4K compromise.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 1503 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the combination in the 53rd percentile of all tested configurations, meaning roughly 47% of tested combos perform better in this specific game.

This ranking is notable given the individual component strengths. The CPU sits in the 94th percentile of all processors, while the GPU ranks in the 81st percentile. The combined ranking of 1503 out of 2813 suggests that Undisputed's performance characteristics do not fully leverage the strengths of either component, or that the game's optimization favors different hardware combinations.

The data shows that the combo's performance in Undisputed is solid but not exceptional. At 1080p Medium, the 195 FPS average is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay. At 4K Medium, the 89 FPS average remains playable. However, the 4K Ultra result of 48 FPS indicates that this combo cannot handle the game's maximum settings at the highest resolution.

The ranking position becomes clearer when examining the resolution scaling. The combo maintains strong performance at 1080p and 1440p across all presets, but 4K Ultra falls below the 60 FPS threshold. This suggests that the rank of 1503 reflects the combo's inability to deliver Ultra settings at 4K, which many higher-ranked configurations likely achieve.

For context, the combo's 1080p Low result of 271 FPS shows that the CPU-GPU pairing can produce very high frame rates when the GPU workload is light. The 1440p Low result of 196 FPS further confirms this capability. The 4K Ultra result of 48 FPS represents the combo's weakest performance point.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component at each resolution. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 271 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low reduces this to 196 FPS (a 28% drop), and 4K Low further reduces it to 124 FPS (a 37% drop from 1440p). This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU becomes progressively more limiting as resolution increases.

For Medium settings, the scaling is similar. 1080p Medium averages 195 FPS, dropping to 141 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and 89 FPS at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). The consistency of these percentage drops across presets suggests that the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth determine the scaling behavior.

At High settings, 1080p produces 162 FPS, 1440p produces 117 FPS (a 28% drop), and 4K produces 74 FPS (a 37% drop from 1440p). Ultra settings follow the same pattern: 104 FPS at 1080p, 75 FPS at 1440p (a 28% drop), and 48 FPS at 4K (a 36% drop from 1440p).

The uniform scaling pattern indicates that the CPU is not the bottleneck at any resolution in Undisputed. If the CPU were limiting, the frame rate drops would become less severe as resolution increases, because the GPU would take proportionally longer per frame. Instead, the consistent 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p and 36-37% drop from 1440p to 4K across all presets shows that the GPU's rendering workload is the primary constraint.

The 1080p Low result of 271 FPS demonstrates that the CPU can sustain very high frame rates when the GPU workload is minimal. The 4K Ultra result of 48 FPS represents the GPU's ceiling for this game's maximum quality settings. Between these extremes, the combo delivers a smooth experience at Medium settings across all resolutions, with the 4K Medium minimum of 76 FPS providing adequate headroom for demanding scenes.
