Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-14600K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 403rd out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 11% of all configurations tested in this database. That percentile standing reflects a combination that delivers exceptionally high frame rates across all tested resolutions, with the weakest recorded average still hitting 79 FPS at 4K Ultra—a figure that remains comfortably above standard display refresh rates. The ranking is particularly notable given the game’s sports genre, where smooth, consistent motion is critical for judging opponent timing and punch trajectories.

How This Combo Ranks

The 403rd position out of 3718 combos represents a strong overall result, but the data reveals that this pairing excels most at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the combo produces an average of 451 FPS on Low settings, which is more than double the 4K Ultra result of 79 FPS. This spread indicates a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher resolutions but capable of leveraging the CPU’s strengths when resolution drops. The Core i5-14600K’s 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs and the RTX 5070 Ti’s 86th percentile among all GPUs both contribute to this high placement, yet the game itself appears to favor raw GPU throughput over CPU multitasking.

When compared to its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks, the CPU’s average score of 48618 sits within 1% of the Intel Xeon Gold 5318H and AMD EPYC 4345P, with deltas of -0.2% and +0.3% respectively. This near-parity in compute benchmarks suggests that the i5-14600K’s 14 cores and 20 threads are more than sufficient for Undisputed’s workload, which typically relies on a handful of threads for physics and AI. The GPU, meanwhile, posts an average benchmark score of 49957, placing it just 0.1% behind the Radeon RX Vega 64 and 2% behind the RX 6900 XT, though the RTX 5070 Ti’s 16GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth provide a substantial advantage in texture-heavy scenes that synthetic tests may not fully capture.

The rank of 403 becomes more meaningful when considering the game’s release date of October 2023, which predates the GPU’s February 2025 launch. This means the RTX 5070 Ti is bringing newer architecture optimizations to a slightly older title, likely explaining why the combo achieves frame rates that rival or exceed those of more expensive configurations. The data shows no measurement anomalies—all FPS figures are marked as measured—so the results reflect real-world performance rather than extrapolated estimates.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data points to 2560x1440 Medium as the optimal configuration for most users, delivering a 234 FPS average with a minimum of 199 FPS and maximum of 270 FPS. This preset offers the highest minimum frame rate among all tested Medium settings, ensuring consistent performance during intense exchanges where frame pacing matters most. The 199 FPS minimum is still well above the 144Hz threshold, making it suitable for high refresh rate monitors without sacrificing visual detail.

For users prioritizing maximum visual fidelity, 3840x2160 High provides a 123 FPS average, which remains viable for 120Hz displays. The step from High to Ultra at 4K imposes a significant penalty—dropping from 123 to 79 FPS—which represents a 35.8% reduction for marginal graphical improvements. The data suggests that High is the sensible ceiling at 4K, as the Ultra preset’s 79 FPS average may introduce noticeable judder on standard 60Hz displays if frame times vary.

At 1080p, the 325 FPS average on Medium offers headroom for competitive play, but High at 269 FPS is the more balanced choice given diminishing returns beyond that point. The 451 FPS Low setting is likely unnecessary for most scenarios, as the difference between Low and Medium at 1080p (126 FPS) is substantial, but Medium’s visual improvements justify the reduction. Users with 240Hz monitors should target 1440p High (194 FPS) or 1080p High (269 FPS) to fully utilize their display’s refresh rate while maintaining quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results across all settings. Low settings produce a 451 FPS average, Medium drops to 325 FPS with a minimum of 276 FPS, High reaches 269 FPS, and Ultra settles at 173 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 61.6% reduction in frame rate, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting factor even at this resolution. The Medium preset’s minimum of 276 FPS represents the highest floor of any tested configuration, ensuring no perceptible stutter.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain high but show expected degradation. Low settings average 326 FPS, Medium averages 234 FPS with a minimum of 199 FPS and maximum of 270 FPS, High averages 194 FPS, and Ultra averages 125 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by approximately 27.7% at Low, 28% at Medium, 27.9% at High, and 27.7% at Ultra, showing consistent scaling across settings. This uniformity suggests the GPU’s memory bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s handles the additional pixel load efficiently.

At 3840x2160, the performance gap widens considerably. Low settings average 206 FPS, Medium averages 148 FPS with a minimum of 126 FPS and maximum of 171 FPS, High averages 123 FPS, and Ultra drops to 79 FPS. Compared to 1440p, the 4K results show a 36.8% reduction at Low, 36.8% at Medium, 36.6% at High, and 36.8% at Ultra. The consistent percentage drops across all settings indicate that resolution scaling is uniform, with no single preset causing disproportionate performance loss.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a predictable pattern of frame rate decline as resolution increases, but the magnitude of these drops provides insight into the system’s bottleneck characteristics. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS across all settings decreases by roughly 28%, while the jump from 1440p to 4K results in a further 37% reduction. This accelerating decline is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the RTX 5070 Ti’s 16GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth become increasingly taxed by higher pixel counts.

The 1080p to 1440p transition shows the smallest relative drop, suggesting that at 1080p, the CPU’s 14 cores and 20 threads are still contributing meaningfully to frame generation. The i5-14600K’s 5.30 GHz boost clock and 24 MB of shared L3 cache likely help maintain high instruction throughput at lower resolutions, where the GPU can complete frames faster than the CPU can feed them. However, the consistency of the percentage drops across settings—all hovering near 28% for the first transition and 37% for the second—indicates that the GPU is the dominant limiter once resolution exceeds 1080p.

The 4K Ultra result of 79 FPS is particularly telling, as it represents a 82.5% reduction from the 1080p Low result of 451 FPS. This dramatic scaling confirms that Undisputed’s rendering workload scales almost linearly with pixel count, and the RTX 5070 Ti’s 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is the binding constraint at higher resolutions. The CPU’s performance headroom is evident in the fact that even at 4K Low (206 FPS), the frame rate remains high enough to suggest the GPU is still the primary bottleneck.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-14600K brings 14 cores and 20 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. These specifications position it as a high-performance desktop processor capable of handling Undisputed’s AI and physics calculations without becoming a limiting factor. The 125W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility indicate a mainstream platform, yet the CPU’s 90th percentile ranking among all tested CPUs shows it outperforms the vast majority of processors in synthetic benchmarks.

The CPU’s cache hierarchy—80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 24 MB of shared L3—provides ample fast storage for game data. In a sports title like Undisputed, where boxer animations and collision detection require frequent memory access, the 24 MB L3 cache likely reduces latency spikes that could cause frame hitches. The measured FPS data supports this: minimum frame rates at Medium settings (276 FPS at 1080p, 199 FPS at 1440p, 126 FPS at 4K) are consistently within 15-20% of average FPS, indicating stable frame pacing without CPU-induced drops.

The CPU’s benchmark scores further contextualize its role. A Cinebench R23 multicore score of 24491 and single-core score of 2064 demonstrate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, which is relevant for Undisputed’s mixed workload. The Geekbench multicore score of 16673 and single-core score of 2491 reinforce this picture. The PassMark multithread score of 38682 and single-thread score of 4270 show that the CPU can handle both the parallel tasks of game logic and the sequential tasks of rendering commands. However, the fact that frame rates scale so predictably with resolution—rather than showing CPU-related plateaus—indicates that the i5-14600K is consistently feeding the GPU enough data to keep it fully utilized, even at 1080p where frame rates exceed 450 FPS.
