Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 is, on paper, a mismatch of scale: a mid-range Raptor Lake Refresh CPU meeting NVIDIA's flagship Blackwell 2.0 graphics card. For Undisputed, the boxing simulation released in October 2023, that imbalance simply doesn't matter. The benchmark data shows this pairing clearing every resolution and every preset tested, from 1080p Low through 4K Ultra, with enormous headroom over the playable threshold of 60 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

On the CPU side, the Core i7-14700F sits in the 91st percentile of all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 53620. Its nearest rivals by aggregate score are remarkably close: the Intel Xeon 6505P averages 53701, a deltaPct of -0.2, meaning the two chips are effectively interchangeable in raw throughput. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 sits at 53469 (deltaPct 0.3), the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X at 53288 (deltaPct 0.6), and the AMD EPYC 7313P at 53206 (deltaPct 0.8). In practical terms, any of these processors would deliver near-identical results in Undisputed, since the game's requirements fall well below what this tier of hardware can supply.

The 14700F itself brings 20 cores and 28 threads on a 10 nm Intel process, a 257 mm² die, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. It boosts to 5.40 GHz, supports both DDR4 and DDR5 on Socket 1700, and carries a launch MSRP of $359. In Cinebench R23 it posts 35122 multi-core and 4958 single-core points, with Geekbench scores of 19620 and 2429 respectively.

The GPU story is different in character. The RTX 5090 ranks in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 79842. Its listed nearest rivals are an eclectic set: the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB at 79605 (deltaPct 0.3), the Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB at 79396 (deltaPct 0.6), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT at 78940 (deltaPct 1.1), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X at 80959 (deltaPct -1.4). While those aggregate scores land within a couple of percent, the underlying profiles differ — the 5090 is a gaming-first card, while the Tesla and Radeon Pro parts are compute-oriented designs. For gaming workloads like Undisputed, the 5090's 104.8 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput, 21760 shading units, and 1.79 TB/s of GDDR7 bandwidth across a 512-bit bus are the relevant figures, and they dwarf anything the game asks for. Its PassMark G3D score of 39650 and 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 18355 underline that headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3718 tested hardware combinations in Undisputed, this pairing ranks 72nd. That places it inside the top two percent of all combos benchmarked for the game — not surprising given that the 5090 alone outranks the vast majority of GPUs, and the 14700F holds the 91st CPU percentile. The rank confirms what the raw frame rates suggest: this is overkill for a sports title, but it is overkill that translates into triple-digit averages at every setting, even at 3840x2160.

Measured FPS Breakdown

All figures below are measured averages; minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded in this dataset.

At 1920x1080, the numbers are extreme. Low settings average 546.8 FPS, Medium 394.7, High 328.9, and Ultra 212.5. Even the most demanding preset runs at over three and a half times the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the scaling is graceful: Low averages 397.8 FPS, Medium 285.2, High 236.7, and Ultra 153. The step down from 1080p Ultra to 1440p Ultra costs roughly 28 percent of the average frame rate — a decline consistent with a GPU that is still nowhere near saturation at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the averages remain far above comfortable: Low posts 251.6 FPS, Medium 179.8, High 148.7, and Ultra 95.8. The 4K Ultra figure is the lowest in the entire dataset, and it still clears 60 FPS by nearly 60 percent. Moving from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra drops the average from 153 to 95.8 — a resolution quadrupling that costs about 37 percent of the frame rate, again a signature of substantial unused GPU capacity rather than a bottleneck.

The Verdict

Yes — emphatically. The verdict data shows every preset at every tested resolution is playable: at 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160, all four settings — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — clear the 60 FPS threshold. Best settings at each resolution are Ultra across the board, with average frame rates of 212.5 at 1080p, 153 at 1440p, and 95.8 at 4K. There is no configuration in this dataset where the combo dips below playable. For Undisputed specifically, the answer is simple: max out the game at 4K and enjoy a frame rate approaching the century mark.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling data tells a clear story about which component governs performance here. Consider the preset ladder at fixed resolutions. At 1080p, going from Ultra to Low raises the average from 212.5 to 546.8 — a factor of roughly 2.6. At 1440p, Ultra to Low spans 153 to 397.8, and at 4K it spans 95.8 to 251.6, both similar multiples. If the CPU were the limiting factor, raising settings would flatten these curves, since visual load primarily stresses the GPU. Instead, frame rate responds strongly to preset changes at every resolution, indicating the GPU remains the swing factor — not because it is weak, but because the game still presents enough GPU work that settings matter.

The resolution scaling reinforces this. Frame rates fall meaningfully as pixels increase: 1080p Ultra at 212.5 drops to 153 at 1440p and 95.8 at 4K. A CPU-bound system would show nearly flat frame rates across resolutions, and that pattern is absent. That said, the falls are modest relative to the pixel count increase, which means the 5090 is barely being taxed.

Where does the 14700F fit? Its single-thread PassMark score of 4257 and physics score of 2455 indicate capable per-core performance for a game engine driving two fighters, physics-driven strikes, and crowd animation. With averages in the hundreds of FPS at lower presets, the CPU is clearly keeping pace with frame delivery; at 546.8 FPS on 1080p Low, the processor's ability to feed the pipeline is being exercised far beyond what any player needs. In short: at 4K the GPU does the heavy lifting and the data shows it coasting; at 1080p the CPU's feed rate matters more, and the 14700F handles it without evidence of constraint in the averages.

For a 60 FPS target — or even a 120 FPS target — neither component is remotely challenged by Undisputed. The pairing's role distribution is academic: the game simply doesn't demand enough to expose a weakness on either side.
