Undisputed

This combo—Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti—lands at rank 214 out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed, placing it in the top 14% of all configurations. The data shows a system that is overwhelmingly GPU-bound at higher settings, but which also demonstrates remarkable headroom at lower presets, where the CPU's 10 cores and 4.70 GHz boost clock keep frame rates at levels that rival far more expensive platforms. The RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth prove sufficient for 4K Ultra, though the measured 77.9 FPS at that extreme preset suggests users should weigh visual fidelity against refresh rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's position of 214th out of 1580 tested configurations represents a strong showing for a mid-range CPU paired with a high-end GPU. This rank is driven primarily by the GPU's 85th percentile standing among all graphics cards, while the CPU sits at the 88th percentile. The pairing works because Undisputed does not demand extreme multi-threading; the i5-14400F's 10 cores (16 threads) are sufficient to feed the RTX 4070 Ti in most scenarios.

Compared to the CPU's nearest rivals, the i5-14400F's average benchmark score of 32508 is effectively identical to the Intel Core i7-12800H (32513, 0% delta) and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 7645 (32446, 0.2% delta). This tells a clear story: the CPU is not the differentiator in this combo. The GPU's average benchmark score of 44900 places it within 0.6% of the RTX 5090 Mobile (45152) and 1.5% ahead of the Intel Arc A730M (45592). In practice, this means the combo's rank is almost entirely a function of the RTX 4070 Ti's raw rasterization power, with the CPU providing just enough throughput to avoid becoming a bottleneck at 1080p and 1440p.

At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 77.9 FPS, which is still playable but below the 100 FPS threshold that many users target. The gap between 1440p Ultra (124.2 FPS) and 4K Ultra (77.9 FPS) is a 37% reduction, indicating that the GPU is being stressed to its limits at the highest resolution.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti is the undisputed star of this configuration. Its 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which is ample for Undisputed's texture-heavy boxing arenas and character models. The GPU's 7680 shading units and 240 texture mapping units provide the compute throughput needed to maintain high frame rates, while its 80 ROPs handle pixel output efficiently.

Clock speeds are notable: a 2310 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost. These clocks, combined with the Ada Lovelace architecture's efficiency, allow the card to hit 439.7 FPS at 1080p Low—a figure that would be impossible without the GPU's high boost behavior. The 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the raw compute that drives these results, and it shows in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5024, which puts the card in the top tier of tested GPUs.

The memory configuration deserves special attention. At 4K Ultra, the card draws on its 12 GB capacity, and the data does not indicate any memory-related stutters or drops. This is a critical finding: 12 GB is sufficient for Undisputed at all settings, even if the 77.9 FPS at 4K Ultra is more a reflection of raw compute limits than memory constraints. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 31624 corroborates this, showing strong overall graphics performance that scales predictably with resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals a clear hierarchy across resolutions and settings.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance at every preset. Low settings produce 439.7 FPS, Medium drops to 318.2 FPS, High yields 260.1 FPS, and Ultra manages 169.5 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 270.2 FPS—a 61% reduction—which indicates that the GPU is fully utilized at 1080p, with the CPU still providing ample headroom.

At 2560x1440, the pattern continues but with a tighter spread. Low hits 317 FPS, Medium reaches 228 FPS, High delivers 190 FPS, and Ultra drops to 124.2 FPS. The reduction from 1080p Ultra (169.5 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (124.2 FPS) is 26.7%, which is consistent with the additional pixel load.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low still produces a robust 202.7 FPS, but Medium falls to 144.3 FPS, High to 118.4 FPS, and Ultra to 77.9 FPS. The gap between 1440p Ultra (124.2 FPS) and 4K Ultra (77.9 FPS) is 37.3%, showing that the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB memory and 192-bit bus are sufficient, but the raw compute is taxed at 4K.

The data shows no anomalies—each resolution scales predictably with settings, and the combo never dips below 77.9 FPS even at the most demanding preset.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 10-core, 16-thread processor from the Raptor Lake Refresh generation. Its base clock of 2.50 GHz and boost clock of 4.70 GHz provide strong single-thread performance, which is crucial for Undisputed's simulation of boxing physics and AI behavior. The 20 MB of shared L3 cache is adequate for the game's data sets, and the CPU's 65 W TDP keeps thermals manageable in most mid-tower cases.

In benchmark terms, the i5-14400F scores 3093 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 21914 in multi-core. These figures are competitive but not class-leading, which is why the combo's rank is determined more by the GPU. The CPU's Passmark multithread score of 25783 and single-thread score of 3723 show balanced performance, but in Undisputed, the CPU's role is to maintain a stable frame pacing floor.

The data confirms this: at 1080p Low, the combo hits 439.7 FPS, which is a CPU-limited scenario. At this point, the i5-14400F's 4.70 GHz boost is the limiting factor, not the GPU. However, at 4K Ultra, the CPU has plenty of headroom—the GPU is the clear bottleneck. This is an ideal balance for most users, as it means the CPU can support a future GPU upgrade without needing replacement.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and frame rate, the data points to High settings at 1440p as the optimal configuration. At this preset, the combo delivers 190 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate of most gaming monitors. The step down to Medium at 1440p yields 228 FPS, but the visual difference between Medium and High in Undisputed is typically noticeable in shadow quality and texture filtering.

For users with 4K displays, High settings at 118.4 FPS is the recommended choice. This provides a smooth experience on 120 Hz panels, and the drop to Ultra (77.9 FPS) sacrifices 34% of the frame rate for marginal visual gains in a fast-paced sports title. In contrast, 4K Low is unnecessary—202.7 FPS at that preset is wasted on most displays.

At 1080p, Ultra settings (169.5 FPS) are the clear choice for users with high-refresh monitors. There is no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset maintains excellent frame rates. The data suggests that Medium and Low at 1080p are only useful for users with 240 Hz+ displays who prioritize maximum frame rates over visuals.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and tells a clear story about the limiting component. At Ultra settings, the combo moves from 169.5 FPS at 1080p to 124.2 FPS at 1440p—a 26.7% reduction—and then to 77.9 FPS at 4K—a further 37.3% reduction. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the CPU's performance is sufficient at all resolutions.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more revealing. The combo drops from 439.7 FPS at 1080p to 317 FPS at 1440p (27.9% reduction) and then to 202.7 FPS at 4K (36% reduction). The fact that the frame rate remains above 200 FPS at 4K Low confirms that the CPU is not a bottleneck in this configuration—if it were, we would see a plateau in FPS as resolution decreases.

The data indicates that the RTX 4070 Ti is the limiting component at 4K Ultra, where it delivers 77.9 FPS. This is a solid result for a first-generation Ada Lovelace card, but it is clear that the GPU's 40.09 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth are stretched at 4K. Users who prioritize 4K Ultra with frame rates above 100 FPS would need to consider a higher-tier GPU, but for the vast majority of Undisputed players, this combo offers an exceptional experience across all resolutions and settings.
