CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Undisputed reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core i7-14700F and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, with the GPU taking on the dominant role in determining frame rates as resolution and settings increase. The CPU’s substantial multi-threaded capability—scoring 35,122 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 41,317 in Passmark multithread—provides a robust foundation that ensures the processor is rarely a hindrance. However, the frame rate scaling across presets strongly indicates that the RTX 4060 is the performance arbiter.

Evidence for GPU dominance is most apparent at 3840x2160. At this resolution, the Low preset produces 123 FPS, but increasing to Medium drops the average to 88.7 FPS, a 28% reduction in performance. The High preset further reduces the average to 74.2 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls below playability at 49.9 FPS. This steep decline across presets is classic GPU-bound behavior, as the RTX 4060’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 128-bit bus width become strained by higher-resolution textures and effects. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 19,545, while respectable, places it in the 61st percentile of all GPUs, confirming it is a mid-range part that requires settings management at 4K.

At lower resolutions, the balance shifts slightly. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset achieves 78.2 FPS, indicating the GPU can handle higher settings when pixel count is reduced. The gap between Low (197.6 FPS) and Ultra (78.2 FPS) at 1440p is still substantial, but the overall performance is high enough that the CPU’s role becomes more relevant. The i7-14700F’s single-core performance—scoring 4,958 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 4,257 in Passmark single-thread—ensures the game’s physics and AI calculations are processed without creating a bottleneck that would limit the GPU.

The resolution scaling further clarifies this dynamic. Moving from 1080p Ultra (104.3 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (78.2 FPS) represents a 25% performance drop, while moving from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra (49.9 FPS) is a 36% drop. These figures demonstrate that the frame rate is sensitive to pixel count, a hallmark of GPU-limited rendering. The CPU’s benchmarks, including a Geekbench multi-core score of 19,620, show it has ample headroom to feed the GPU at all settings, but the RTX 4060’s compute resources—15.11 TFLOPS FP32—are the limiting factor when visual demands escalate. In summary, the RTX 4060 dictates playable settings, while the i7-14700F ensures the system never falls behind in game logic.

Best Settings per Resolution

For players targeting a consistent 60 FPS experience, the measured data provides clear guidance on the maximum settings available at each resolution.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is the optimal choice. It delivers an average of 74.2 FPS, which comfortably exceeds the playable threshold. While the Medium preset offers a higher average of 88.7 FPS, High provides the best visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. The Ultra preset must be avoided, as its 49.9 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is fully playable. The data shows an average of 78.2 FPS, which provides enough headroom to handle intense in-game moments without dropping below the threshold. This is the most demanding setting at this resolution and the best choice for visual fidelity. Lower presets are unnecessary, as even High (120 FPS) and Medium (139.7 FPS) are available but offer diminishing returns in visual quality.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the definitive choice, achieving an average of 104.3 FPS. This frame rate is high enough to drive a 100 Hz or 120 Hz monitor effectively. The gap between Ultra and High (164.5 FPS) is noticeable, but Ultra remains well above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the recommended setting for maximum visual detail. The Low preset’s 272.2 FPS is excessive for most displays but demonstrates the system’s extreme headroom at this resolution.

The Verdict

This PC configuration is unequivocally capable of running Undisputed at playable frame rates across all tested resolutions, provided the settings are adjusted appropriately.

At 1920x1080, the system excels. All four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—exceed the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 104.3 FPS. This makes the combo ideal for high-refresh-rate 1080p gaming.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is equally positive. The Ultra preset achieves 78.2 FPS, meaning players can enjoy maximum settings without any compromises. The High, Medium, and Low presets are also playable, with averages of 120, 139.7, and 197.6 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, the system remains playable but requires a settings reduction. The High preset is the best option, delivering 74.2 FPS. Medium is also viable at 88.7 FPS, while Low reaches 123 FPS. The Ultra preset fails to meet the 60 FPS standard at 49.9 FPS, so it should be avoided. Overall, the data confirms this is a capable 4K gaming system for Undisputed as long as players use High or Medium settings.
