Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 delivers a decisive performance statement in Undisputed, with measured frame rates that classify this combination as a high-end contender for the boxing title. Across all three tested resolutions — 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080 — the combo clears the 60 FPS playability threshold at every preset, from Low to Ultra. The data shows a system that is not merely capable but substantially over-qualified, with average frame rates ranging from a low of 66.1 FPS at 4K Ultra to a towering 359.9 FPS at 1080p Low. This places the combination in the 1042nd position out of 3718 tested combos, firmly within the top third of all configurations evaluated for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo reveals a consistent pattern: the RTX 3080’s 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s of bandwidth, combined with the i7-14700F’s 20 cores and 28 threads, produce headroom that scales predictably with resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high across the board. The Low preset delivers an average of 359.9 FPS, while Medium produces 260.1 FPS and High reaches 212.8 FPS. The most demanding setting, Ultra, still maintains an average of 136.9 FPS, which is more than double the playability threshold of 60 FPS. Even at the highest settings, the GPU is never close to being the limiting factor at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results show a predictable step down, but the margin over the 60 FPS threshold remains substantial. Low settings average 258.5 FPS, Medium drops to 189.8 FPS, and High settles at 156.6 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p produce 97.9 FPS on average, which is still comfortably above the playability line and indicates that this resolution is where the combo begins to feel the load, though it never struggles. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra shows a reduction from 136.9 FPS to 97.9 FPS, a 28.5% drop, which is a moderate and expected penalty for the additional pixels.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile becomes more nuanced. Low settings average 167.2 FPS, Medium delivers 117 FPS, and High reaches 97.7 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K produces 66.1 FPS on average, which is the lowest measured frame rate in the entire dataset but still clears the 60 FPS threshold by a margin of 6.1 FPS. This makes 4K Ultra the only configuration in the dataset where the combo approaches its performance ceiling, though it does not breach it. The delta between 1440p Ultra and 4K Ultra is significant — from 97.9 FPS down to 66.1 FPS, a 32.5% reduction — which highlights the RTX 3080’s memory bandwidth and pixel throughput being exercised more aggressively at 4K. Notably, the data includes no min or max FPS values, only averages, so variance is not quantified, but the average figures alone paint a picture of consistent high performance.

How This Combo Ranks

With a combo rank of 1042 out of 3718 tested combinations, this configuration sits in the 72nd percentile of all systems benchmarked in Undisputed. This is a strong showing, placing the i7-14700F and RTX 3080 ahead of roughly 72% of all other combos tested. The rank reflects a balanced pairing where neither component is dramatically mismatched against the other for this specific title. The CPU’s percentile versus all CPUs is 91, meaning it outperforms 91% of all processors in the database, while the GPU’s percentile versus all GPUs is 68, indicating it outperforms 68% of all graphics cards. The gap between CPU and GPU percentiles is notable — the processor is a top-tier part, while the graphics card is a high-end but older model — yet in Undisputed, the GPU still manages to deliver the frame rates required to justify the pairing.

The combo rank of 1042 is pulled down by the GPU’s more modest percentile relative to the CPU, but the measured FPS data shows that the pairing is more than sufficient for this game. In practical terms, the combination outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, and the rank suggests that only a minority of configurations — likely those featuring newer GPUs with higher memory capacities or faster bandwidth — would deliver better results at the highest settings. For a game like Undisputed, which is a sports title rather than a graphically intensive AAA release, this combo’s rank is comfortably high enough to ensure a premium experience at any resolution.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which achieves 136.9 FPS. This means that at 1080p, there is no reason to compromise on visual quality; the Ultra preset runs at more than double the playability threshold, and the system has ample headroom for any future updates or additional background processes. The data shows that even the most taxing settings at this resolution are handled with ease.

At 2560x1440, the best settings that stay at or above 60 FPS are also Ultra, with an average of 97.9 FPS. This is a clear recommendation: 1440p Ultra is not only playable but delivers frame rates that exceed the threshold by 37.9 FPS. The margin is sufficient for smooth gameplay on high-refresh-rate monitors, and the data indicates no need to drop to High, which averages 156.6 FPS, unless a user prioritizes maximum refresh rate over visual fidelity. However, for the stated playability threshold, Ultra is the answer.

At 3840x2160, the situation is tighter but still favorable. The best settings that maintain 60 FPS or above are Ultra, which averages 66.1 FPS. This is the only resolution where the margin over the threshold is narrow — just 6.1 FPS — but it is a positive margin. High settings at 4K average 97.7 FPS, which provides more breathing room, but Ultra remains playable according to the data. For users who demand absolute smoothness with minimal risk of drops below 60 FPS, High at 4K is a safer choice, but the verdict from the measured data is that Ultra clears the bar.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Intel Core i7-14700F’s average benchmark score of 53620 is closely matched by several other processors. The Intel Xeon 6505P scores 53701, a delta of -0.2%, meaning it is effectively identical in performance. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 scores 53469, a 0.3% delta, and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X scores 53288, a 0.6% delta. The AMD EPYC 7313P scores 53206, an 0.8% delta. These numbers indicate that any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically to the i7-14700F in Undisputed, with performance differences well under 1%. For a game that appears to be GPU-bound at higher resolutions, these CPU alternatives would not alter the FPS outcomes in any meaningful way.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 has an average benchmark score of 23172, and its nearest rivals are surprisingly close in aggregate metrics. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249 with a -0.3% delta, the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 16 scores 23250 with a -0.3% delta, the AMD Radeon RX 6600M scores 23273 with a -0.4% delta, and the AMD Radeon R9 M290X scores 23276 with a -0.4% delta. These deltas suggest that, based on synthetic benchmark averages, these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed. However, it is notably the RTX 3080’s 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 320-bit bus width provide real-world advantages in texture-heavy scenes that may not be fully captured by aggregate scores. The rival GPUs listed are a mix of older and mobile parts, so while the aggregate scores are close, the RTX 3080’s architecture and memory subsystem likely give it an edge in sustained gaming workloads, despite the numerical similarity.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are so high — 359.9 FPS at Low and 136.9 FPS at Ultra — that the CPU is likely the more influential component, as the GPU is not being pushed to its limits at this resolution. The i7-14700F’s strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4958 and Geekbench single-core score of 2429, ensures that the CPU can feed frames to the GPU without bottlenecking. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is from 359.9 FPS down to 136.9 FPS, a 62% reduction, which is a GPU-driven effect, but the absolute numbers are so high that CPU performance is the more critical factor for achieving maximum frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the balance begins to tilt toward the GPU. The scaling from Low to Ultra is from 258.5 FPS down to 97.9 FPS, a 62% reduction similar to 1080p, but the lower absolute values mean the GPU is starting to take on more of the workload. The CPU’s role diminishes slightly, though its 20 cores and 28 threads ensure that any physics or AI calculations in Undisputed are handled without issue. At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant component. The scaling from Low to Ultra is from 167.2 FPS down to 66.1 FPS, a 60% reduction, and the fact that 4K Ultra produces the lowest frame rate in the dataset confirms that the RTX 3080 is the limiting factor at this resolution. The CPU’s impact is minimal at 4K, as the GPU’s pixel throughput and memory bandwidth — 164.2 GPixel/s and 760.3 GB/s — are what determine the final frame rate. The data shows a clear progression: CPU-bound at 1080p, balanced at 1440p, and GPU-bound at 4K.
