Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-14400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 pairing presents a distinct profile in Undisputed, a sports title that leans heavily on GPU throughput at higher settings. The data shows this combo occupies the 1511th position out of 1580 tested combinations, placing it in the bottom percentile of systems. This is not a high-end configuration; it is a legacy GPU (end-of-life status) paired with a modern mid-range CPU, and the measured frames reflect a system that is playable only under specific conditions.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to achieve a consistent 60+ FPS?

A: The only resolution where the combo exceeds 60 FPS across multiple presets is 1920x1080. At Low settings, it averages 111 FPS, and at Medium settings, it averages 77.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, only the Low preset reaches 79.3 FPS, but the Medium preset drops to 55.1 FPS.

Q: Can this system handle Ultra settings in Undisputed?

A: No. Ultra settings are not viable at any resolution. The best result is 41.4 FPS at 1920x1080, which falls to 32 FPS at 2560x1440 and a stutter-prone 20.2 FPS at 3840x2160. The data suggests the RX 570 lacks the necessary shading units and memory bandwidth for this preset.

Q: How significant is the performance drop from 1080p to 1440p on High settings?

A: The drop is substantial, from 64.3 FPS at 1920x1080 to 50.5 FPS at 2560x1440. This represents a 21.5% reduction in average frame rate, indicating that the GPU, with its 4 GB of VRAM and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth, becomes a significant bottleneck as pixel count rises.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the primary limiting factor in this setup?

A: The GPU is the clear bottleneck. The Intel Core i5-14400F, which scores 21,914 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, is a modern performer. However, the AMD Radeon RX 570, with a 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 rating and a 74th percentile ranking, is the older component and the data shows frame rates scale inversely with resolution, a classic sign of GPU limitation.

Q: Does the RX 570 support modern graphics APIs needed for this game?

A: Yes, the GPU supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. This ensures the game can run using its intended rendering paths, though the hardware's GCN 4.0 architecture from 2017 is the limiting factor for performance.

Q: What is the highest average FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The highest recorded average FPS is 111, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This is the only instance where the frame rate approaches double the refresh rate of a standard 60Hz monitor.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data dictates a clear hierarchy for optimal playability. For a standard 60 FPS target, the only viable preset at 1920x1080 is Medium, which delivers 77.5 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the target and allows for better visual fidelity than Low. The Low preset at 1080p yields 111 FPS, which is suited for high-refresh-rate monitors, but the visual compromise is significant. At 2560x1440, the choice narrows to Low settings, which hits 79.3 FPS; the Medium preset at 55.1 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold and may feel less fluid. Ultra settings are effectively unusable, as even the best case scenario at 1080p yields only 41.4 FPS. The data suggests the best experience is achieved with the Medium preset at 1920x1080, balancing a playable frame rate with improved visual quality over the Low option. For users prioritizing smoothness above all else, the Low preset at 2560x1440 is the only 1440p option that clears the 60 FPS bar.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the dominant factor in this combo's performance. Its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is insufficient for high-resolution textures and effects in Undisputed. The data shows a stark correlation: at 3840x2160, the frame rate plummets to 20.2 FPS on Ultra, indicating that the GPU's memory and compute resources are completely saturated. The GPU's boost clock of 1244 MHz and 2048 shading units are simply not enough to process the game's rendering load at higher presets. The percentile ranking of 74th versus all GPUs, while seemingly moderate, is misleading in this context, as the measured results show the card is outperformed by newer architectures in this specific workload. The GPU’s end-of-life status and 14 nm process node (from GlobalFoundries) mean it struggles with the demands of a 2023 release. The 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is the theoretical ceiling, and the measured FPS shows this ceiling is low for this title. The combination of limited VRAM and older GCN 4.0 architecture creates a hard wall; the CPU has no opportunity to compensate, as the GPU is always the limiting factor, as evident by the massive FPS drops when resolution scales.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results provide a comprehensive view of the combo's capabilities across the tested matrix. At 1920x1080, the performance scales predictably with settings: Low yields 111 FPS, Medium drops to 77.5 FPS, High reduces further to 64.3 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 41.4 FPS. This shows a 62.7% performance loss from Low to Ultra at 1080p. Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern continues but with lower absolute numbers: Low produces 79.3 FPS, Medium 55.1 FPS, High 50.5 FPS, and Ultra 32 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at High settings alone costs 13.8 FPS. At 3840x2160, the results are largely unplayable: Low averages 52.9 FPS, Medium 38.8 FPS, High 27.8 FPS, and Ultra 20.2 FPS. The data indicates that the RX 570's 4 GB VRAM is likely exceeded at 4K with High or Ultra settings, causing severe performance degradation. The scaling from Medium to High at 1440p is notably small (55.1 to 50.5), suggesting the GPU is already bandwidth-limited at that point. The jump from High to Ultra at 1080p (64.3 to 41.4) is a massive 35.6% drop, which points to a specific rendering feature in Ultra that the Polaris 20 chip cannot handle efficiently.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of the Intel Core i5-14400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 1511th out of 1580 combos. This places it in the bottom 4.4% of all tested systems, making it a low-tier configuration for this game. The CPU itself is a strong performer, sitting in the 88th percentile of all CPUs and scoring 21,914 in Cinebench R23 multi-core. Its nearest rivals, the Intel Core i7-12800H and AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645, have nearly identical average scores (32513 and 32446, respectively), highlighting the i5-14400F's solid processing power. However, this strength is wasted in this pairing. The GPU, while ranking in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, is the anchor. Its average benchmark score of 30158 is comparable to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (30109) and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (30097), but these are likely newer architectures with better feature support. The combo rank of 1511 indicates that the GPU's age and VRAM limitation severely handicap the CPU. The data shows a mismatch: a modern processor with a legacy graphics card, resulting in a system that cannot translate its CPU potential into playable frame rates at higher settings. This rank is a warning that despite the CPU's capabilities, the overall system performance is dictated by the GPU, and it is not competitive in this game.
