Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed shows a clear, predictable scaling pattern as resolution climbs, but the rate of that drop tells you exactly where the bottleneck lives. At 1080p with Low settings, this combo hits 240 FPS. That’s a hard ceiling for many displays, and it indicates the CPU and GPU together are barely breaking a sweat. Moving to 1440p Low drops the average to 174 FPS, a 27.5% reduction, and then 4K Low lands at 108.4 FPS, another 37.7% cut from the 1440p figure.

The scaling from 1080p to 4K is steeper at lower settings, which is the signature of a GPU-bound workload. When the CPU has plenty of headroom (as it does here with a 10-core, 16-thread part), the graphics card becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises. The data confirms this: from 1080p Low to 4K Low, the frame rate drops by 54.8%. From 1080p Ultra to 4K Ultra, the drop is 53.2%. The consistency of that percentage drop across settings suggests the game’s rendering load scales almost linearly with resolution, and the GPU is doing the heavy lifting.

At Ultra settings, the picture changes. The 4K Ultra result is 41.8 FPS, which is a 65.6% drop from the 1080p Ultra score of 89.3 FPS. That’s a harsher decline than the Low preset’s 54.8% drop, which indicates that at Ultra, the GPU is being pushed into a less efficient operating range. The card’s boost clock of 2755 MHz helps at lower resolutions, but at 4K Ultra, the 16 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are likely saturated, causing a more pronounced performance cliff.

The delta between settings at a fixed resolution reinforces this. At 1080p, the gap from Low to Ultra is 149.7 FPS (240 to 89.3). At 1440p, that gap shrinks to 106.6 FPS (174 to 67.4). At 4K, it’s only 66.6 FPS (108.4 to 41.8). This compression of the settings spread at higher resolutions is a classic sign that the GPU is becoming the sole limiter; the CPU’s ability to feed frames becomes irrelevant when the GPU can’t render them fast enough. For a boxing sim like Undisputed, where timing matters, this means you’ll feel the difference most keenly at 4K Ultra, where the engine is struggling to keep up.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with a Navi 33 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process. Its 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus provides 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory capacity is generous for a card in this class, and in Undisputed, it shows. At 4K Ultra, the game is likely using a significant chunk of that 16 GB, and the card still manages 41.8 FPS. While that’s not a playable competitive number, it’s a sign that the VRAM isn’t causing a hard crash or stutter-fest; the card is just running out of raw compute.

The clock speeds are the more interesting story. The base clock is 1980 MHz, the game clock is 2470 MHz, and the boost clock is 2755 MHz. The difference between the game clock and boost clock—285 MHz—is where the card’s thermal and power headroom lives. At 1080p Low, the card is likely boosting to near its maximum, which helps achieve that 240 FPS cap. At 4K Ultra, the sustained load will push the card toward its 190 W TDP, and the boost clock will drop closer to the game clock. The data suggests this is happening: the 4K Ultra score of 41.8 FPS is disproportionately low compared to the 4K High score of 63.5 FPS, a 34.2% drop that can’t be explained by pixel count alone.

The card’s FP32 throughput is 22.57 TFLOPS, and its pixel rate is 176.3 GPixel/s. These numbers align with its performance tier, which the benchmark database places at the 63rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon RX 7600, scores nearly identically (a 0.6% delta), while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER is 1.9% behind. This is a mid-pack card, and in Undisputed, it behaves like one: competent at 1080p, playable at 1440p, and struggling at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the Intel Core i5-14400F and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT ranks 1006 out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed. That puts it in the 36th percentile of all combos, which sounds low, but the context matters. The database includes many high-end, multi-GPU, and overclocked setups, so a mid-range pairing landing in the top 40% is respectable. The CPU alone sits at the 88th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 32508. That’s a strong processor, nearly tied with the Intel Core i7-12800H (0% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 (0.2% delta).

The GPU, however, is the weaker link in this pairing. Its average benchmark score is 20146, placing it at the 63rd percentile of GPUs. The delta to its nearest rival, the RX 460, is 0.3%, and it’s 0.6% behind the RX 7600. This creates an imbalance: the CPU is capable of feeding far more frames than the GPU can render, especially at 4K. In Undisputed, this manifests as the CPU rarely being the bottleneck. The 14400F’s Cinebench R23 multicore score of 21914 and single-core score of 3093 indicate it can handle the game’s physics and AI logic without breaking a sweat.

The practical upshot is that the combo rank is dragged down by the GPU, not the CPU. If you were to pair this CPU with a faster GPU, the rank would improve significantly. As it stands, the 1006th rank reflects a balanced-but-modest pairing that excels at 1080p and handles 1440p well, but it’s not a 4K powerhouse.

Measured FPS Breakdown

Here is the full set of measured frame rates for Undisputed with this combo. All figures are average FPS; no minimum or maximum values were recorded in the data.

1080p (1920x1080):

• Low: 240.0 FPS
• Medium: 174.2 FPS
• High: 143.5 FPS
• Ultra: 89.3 FPS

1440p (2560x1440):

• Low: 174.0 FPS
• Medium: 124.4 FPS
• High: 104.8 FPS
• Ultra: 67.4 FPS

4K (3840x2160):

• Low: 108.4 FPS
• Medium: 82.1 FPS
• High: 63.5 FPS
• Ultra: 41.8 FPS

The 1080p Low result of 240 FPS is a hard cap for most 240 Hz monitors, meaning the combo is fully capable of driving high-refresh displays in this game. The step from Low to Medium at 1080p costs 65.8 FPS, a 27.4% reduction, which is steep. The step from Medium to High costs 30.7 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 54.2 FPS. The Ultra preset is where the GPU starts to labor, even at 1080p.

At 1440p, the pattern repeats but with lower absolute numbers. Low hits 174 FPS, which is still smooth for competitive play. Ultra at 67.4 FPS is borderline for a fast-paced game—it’s playable, but you’ll notice the frame pacing if you’re used to higher refresh rates. The drop from High (104.8 FPS) to Ultra (67.4 FPS) is a 35.7% reduction, the largest single-preset jump at this resolution, indicating the Ultra preset adds a significant rendering load that the GPU can’t fully absorb.

At 4K, only Low (108.4 FPS) and Medium (82.1 FPS) are comfortably playable. High dips to 63.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 41.8 FPS. For a game where a punch’s timing is critical, 41.8 FPS is a disadvantage. The data clearly shows that 4K Ultra is beyond this card’s capability in Undisputed.

Q: How does the RX 7600 XT compare to its nearest rival in this game?

A: The benchmark data shows the RX 7600 XT is 0.6% behind the AMD Radeon RX 7600 in average GPU benchmark score. It is 1.9% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 460. These deltas are small, so expect similar in-game performance to the RX 7600.

Q: Is the Intel Core i5-14400F a bottleneck for this GPU?

A: No. The CPU’s average benchmark score (32508) is at the 88th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 63rd percentile. The CPU is significantly stronger, so the GPU is the limiting factor in Undisputed, especially at higher resolutions.

Q: What FPS can I expect at 1440p with High settings?

A: The measured average is 104.8 FPS. This is a solid, smooth experience for most players. If you want to push closer to 144 FPS, you’ll need to drop to Medium (124.4 FPS) or Low (174 FPS).

Q: Does the combo rank in the database reflect its gaming performance?

A: The combo ranks 1006 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This is in the middle of the pack, largely because the GPU is a mid-range part. The CPU is excellent, but the GPU holds the combo back from a higher rank.

Settings Recommendations

The optimal preset depends entirely on your target frame rate and resolution. For 1080p, the High preset (143.5 FPS) is the sweet spot for most players. It’s well above the 144 Hz refresh rate, and it provides better visual fidelity than Medium (174.2 FPS) without the massive performance hit of Ultra (89.3 FPS). If you have a 240 Hz monitor and prioritize smoothness above all else, the Low preset at 240 FPS is the only way to hit that cap, but you’ll sacrifice visual quality.

At 1440p, the High preset (104.8 FPS) is the best balance. It’s above 100 FPS, which is smooth for a sports sim, and it looks significantly better than Medium (124.4 FPS). The Ultra preset (67.4 FPS) is not recommended unless you have a 60 Hz monitor and prefer maximum eye candy; the frame pacing won’t be ideal for a game that rewards precise timing.

At 4K, you have limited options. The Medium preset (82.1 FPS) is the highest you should go. It’s playable and looks decent. The High preset (63.5 FPS) is borderline—it’s above 60 FPS, but just barely, and you’ll feel the occasional dip. The Ultra preset at 41.8 FPS is a non-starter for competitive play; the data suggests the GPU simply doesn’t have enough compute to handle that load at this resolution.

The overall recommendation: if you’re building for Undisputed specifically, target 1080p High for the best experience, or 1440p High if you have a 144 Hz monitor and want more detail. Avoid 4K Ultra with this combo; the 41.8 FPS result is a hard limit that no settings tweak can overcome. The GPU’s 16 GB of VRAM is ample, but the 128-bit bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are the constraints at 4K. For the vast majority of players, 1080p or 1440p will deliver the smooth, responsive experience this game demands.
