GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is the dominant component in this pairing for Undisputed's frame rate output. The GPU is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture using a 4 nm process from TSMC, with a transistor count of 53,900 million on a 357 mm² die. Its memory subsystem consists of 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 644.6 GB/s. The core clock operates at a base of 1660 MHz and boosts up to 2970 MHz, with a game clock rated at 2400 MHz. These specifications translate into a pixel rate of 380.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 760.3 GTexel/s, which are directly relevant to rendering the detailed fighter models and arenas in Undisputed.

The GPU’s 4096 shading units and 128 ROPs handle the rasterization workload efficiently, as evidenced by the measured frame rates. At 4K Ultra settings, the GPU is heavily taxed, producing 64 FPS, which indicates that the highest quality preset imposes a significant load on the RDNA 4.0 architecture. The 64 ray accelerators present on the chip do not appear to bottleneck performance in this sports title, as the frame rate scaling from Medium to Ultra is consistent with a pure rasterization workload. The GPU’s FP32 performance of 48.66 TFLOPS provides ample compute headroom for the physics and animation systems in the game, allowing for smooth transitions between states even at lower resolutions where CPU overhead could otherwise become a factor.

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the limiting factor when moving to higher resolutions, as frame rates scale predictably with the pixel count. At 1080p Low settings, the 371.3 FPS average shows the GPU is not fully saturated, but at 4K Ultra, the 64 FPS result demonstrates that the graphics card’s resources are fully committed to rendering the scene. The 16 GB frame buffer is sufficient for all tested settings, with no indication of memory capacity limiting performance based on the measured data.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of frame rate degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 219.6 FPS at 1080p to 162.5 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 102.5 FPS at 4K. This represents a 53.4% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, which is less than the 4x increase in pixel count, indicating that the GPU has sufficient bandwidth and compute to partially absorb the additional rendering load.

The scaling pattern changes across different quality presets. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 371.3 FPS at 1080p to 271.9 FPS at 1440p, then to 172.3 FPS at 4K. This is a 53.6% reduction from 1080p to 4K, nearly identical to the High preset scaling. However, at Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 143.8 FPS at 1080p to 105.6 FPS at 1440p, then to 64 FPS at 4K, representing a 55.5% reduction. The slightly larger percentage drop at Ultra settings suggests that the highest quality preset introduces additional GPU workload that scales more aggressively with resolution.

The data indicates that at 1080p, the combination of the i5-14400F and RX 9070 XT is not purely GPU-limited. The 371.3 FPS result at Low settings approaches the CPU’s rendering ceiling for this game, as the 10-core, 16-thread processor with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz is capable of feeding the GPU at extremely high frame rates. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck, which is expected given the 4 nm GPU’s architecture. The frame rate differences between resolutions at the same settings are consistent, with the 1440p results sitting approximately 25-30% below the 1080p results, and the 4K results sitting another 35-40% below the 1440p results, depending on the quality preset.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080 resolution, the combo delivers its highest performance across all settings. The Low preset produces an average of 371.3 FPS, which is the peak result in the entire dataset. Moving to Medium settings reduces the average to 265.8 FPS, a 28.4% drop from Low. High settings yield 219.6 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 143.8 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a total reduction of 227.5 FPS, with each step up in quality costing between 54.5 and 75.8 FPS on average.

At 2560x1440 resolution, the frame rates remain high but show the expected decrease from 1080p. Low settings average 271.9 FPS, Medium settings average 193.9 FPS, High settings average 162.5 FPS, and Ultra settings average 105.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 166.3 FPS, which is smaller in absolute terms than at 1080p but proportionally similar. The Medium to High transition at 1440p costs 31.4 FPS, while the High to Ultra transition costs 56.9 FPS, indicating that Ultra settings impose a disproportionately higher load on the GPU.

At 3840x2160 resolution, the combo still produces playable frame rates for most settings. Low settings average 172.3 FPS, Medium settings average 121.3 FPS, High settings average 102.5 FPS, and Ultra settings average 64 FPS. The 4K results show that the GPU is fully utilized, with the frame rate at Ultra settings dropping to exactly half of the 1080p Ultra result. The 4K Low result of 172.3 FPS is higher than the 1440p Ultra result of 105.6 FPS, demonstrating that quality settings have a larger impact on performance than resolution in this game. The data across all resolutions shows a consistent pattern where the Ultra preset is the most demanding, with the gap between High and Ultra widening as resolution increases.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo of the Intel Core i5-14400F and AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT achieves a rank of 461 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 29.2% of all configurations. This ranking is derived from the measured frame rates across all resolutions and settings, with the combo’s performance being competitive despite the CPU’s mid-range positioning. The i5-14400F has a percentile ranking of 88 among all CPUs, while the RX 9070 XT has a percentile ranking of 82 among all GPUs, indicating that both components are above average in their respective categories.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score include the Intel Core i7-12800H with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 with a deltaPct of 0.2, and the AMD Ryzen 7 250 with a deltaPct of -0.2. These rival chips have average scores within 0.2% of the i5-14400F, confirming that the CPU’s processing power is well-matched to its peers.

The rank of 461 in Undisputed is notably lower than the individual component percentiles would suggest, which indicates that the game’s engine places specific demands on the hardware that are not fully captured by generic benchmark scores. The combo’s performance is stronger at lower resolutions and settings, where the CPU’s 10 cores and 16 threads provide adequate headroom, but the ranking reflects the overall performance across all tested configurations. The data shows that this pairing is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, with the 4K Ultra preset being the only setting where the combo falls below the 70 FPS mark. The measured results position this combo as a solid performer in the upper third of all tested combinations, with the GPU’s 16 GB frame buffer and high clock speeds providing a strong foundation for Undisputed's rendering requirements.
