The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT delivers a robust experience in Undisputed, with performance that scales predictably across resolutions and presets. The measured data shows a system capable of high refresh rate play at 1440p and solid 4K performance when settings are managed, though the combination’s overall standing in the database reflects a mid-pack position among tested hardware pairings.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture using the Navi 33 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process by TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 1980 MHz, a game clock of 2470 MHz, and a boost clock of 2755 MHz, with memory running at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The GPU is equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is particularly relevant for Undisputed, as the generous VRAM capacity ensures that texture data at high resolutions does not become a bottleneck, even at Ultra settings where the 4K average FPS drops to 42.

The GPU’s compute resources include 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation pipelines, along with 32 ray accelerators. Its peak performance is rated at 22.57 TFLOPS for FP32 operations, with a pixel rate of 176.3 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 352.6 GTexel/s. In benchmark tests, the RX 7600 XT scores 17132 in Passmark G3D and 2348 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, placing it at the 60th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (0.3% higher score), AMD Radeon HD 7970M (0.4% higher), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (0.7% lower), and NVIDIA Tesla M4 (0.9% higher), indicating that this GPU sits in a competitive performance tier.

For Undisputed, the GPU’s role is dominant at all tested resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the average FPS reaches 240, which is exactly at the ceiling of typical high-refresh displays. However, at 4K Ultra, the average FPS falls to 42, suggesting that the GPU is the primary limiting factor when maximum graphical fidelity is demanded. The 16 GB VRAM is not exhausted even at 4K Ultra, as the performance decline is consistent with the GPU’s raw compute limits rather than memory capacity constraints.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The benchmark data for Undisputed reveals a clear hierarchy across settings presets, with the optimal choice depending on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1080p, the Low preset achieves an average FPS of 240, which is ideal for high-refresh displays but sacrifices visual quality. The Medium preset at 1080p delivers an average FPS of 173 with a minimum of 147, offering a strong balance for competitive play or smooth motion. The High preset at 1080p yields 143 average FPS, still comfortably above 60 FPS and suitable for most monitors. However, the Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 92 average FPS, which, while playable, represents a significant performance cost for the highest visual settings.

At 1440p, the Medium preset stands out as the recommended choice, delivering an average FPS of 125 with a minimum of 106 and maximum of 144. This configuration provides a smooth experience on standard 144Hz displays without major frame drops. The High preset at 1440p achieves 103 average FPS, which is also viable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes. The Low preset at 1440p reaches 174 average FPS, but the visual downgrade is substantial. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 67 average FPS, which is below the 70 FPS threshold that many players prefer for sports titles.

For 4K, the Medium preset is the only configuration that provides a consistently smooth experience, with an average FPS of 79 and a minimum of 67. This keeps the game playable on 60Hz 4K displays without major stuttering. The High preset at 4K averages 65 FPS, which is borderline acceptable but may dip below 60 FPS in intense moments. The Low preset at 4K reaches 110 average FPS, but this comes with significant visual compromises. The Ultra preset at 4K averages 42 FPS, which is not recommended for a competitive or smooth experience.

The data suggests that the Medium preset offers the best overall experience across all resolutions, as it maintains a minimum FPS of at least 67 at 4K and exceeds 100 FPS at 1440p. Players prioritizing framerate over fidelity may opt for Low settings at lower resolutions, but the Medium preset provides the most balanced combination of visual quality and performance per the measured rows.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a pronounced scaling pattern as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 240 at 1080p to 174 at 1440p (a 27.5% reduction) and further to 110 at 4K (a 36.8% reduction from 1440p). This steep decline indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed by pixel throughput, even at the lowest visual quality settings.

At Medium settings, the progression is similar: 173 FPS at 1080p, 125 FPS at 1440p, and 79 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 27.7% from 1080p to 1440p and 36.8% from 1440p to 4K, almost identical to the Low preset pattern. This consistency suggests that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are the primary constraints, as the render workload scales nearly linearly with pixel count.

At High settings, the average FPS is 143 at 1080p, 103 at 1440p, and 65 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 28.0%, and from 1440p to 4K is 36.9%. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling: 92 FPS at 1080p, 67 FPS at 1440p, and 42 FPS at 4K, with reductions of 27.2% and 37.3% respectively.

These consistent percentage drops across all presets indicate that the limiting component is the GPU, not the CPU. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain more constant at higher resolutions as the GPU workload increases, but the data shows a steady decline that tracks pixel count. The RX 7600 XT’s 128-bit memory bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth appear to be the constraining factors at 4K, as the GPU’s compute resources (22.57 TFLOPS) are sufficient for lower resolutions but cannot maintain high framerates at 2160p.

The fact that the Low preset at 4K (110 FPS) still exceeds the High preset at 1080p (143 FPS) by a smaller margin than expected suggests that the GPU’s shading and texture units are not the sole bottleneck. Instead, the memory subsystem likely limits performance at high resolutions, as the 18 Gbps effective memory speed (2250 MHz) struggles to feed the render pipeline with the larger frame buffers required at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The Intel Core i5-14600KF and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT combination ranks 2359 out of 3718 tested hardware combinations in Undisputed. This places the combo in the 63.5th percentile of all tested systems, meaning approximately 64% of tested combinations perform better in this game. The rank reflects the GPU’s mid-tier positioning (60th percentile among all GPUs) more than the CPU’s high-tier standing (90th percentile among all CPUs).

The combo’s ranking is consistent with the GPU’s benchmark scores. The RX 7600 XT’s nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, scores 0.7% higher in average benchmark performance, yet the combo still manages to be competitive in a game like Undisputed which does not heavily utilize ray tracing or advanced features. The GPU’s 16 GB VRAM likely helps in sustaining performance at higher resolutions, as the 4K Medium average FPS of 79 is respectable for a card in this tier.

Compared to other combos, the 2359th rank out of 3718 suggests that many systems with higher-end GPUs (such as those with RTX 4070-class or better cards) will outperform this configuration. However, the combo’s performance is not poor; it delivers playable framerates at all tested settings except 4K Ultra, where the 42 FPS average falls below the 60 FPS threshold. The rank should be interpreted as a mid-tier result, reflecting the RX 7600 XT’s position in the GPU hierarchy rather than any deficiency in the CPU-GPU pairing.

The CPU’s high percentile (90th) does not translate into a higher combo rank, which confirms that Undisputed is GPU-limited for this specific pairing. The combination’s overall standing is therefore determined by the GPU’s capabilities, and any upgrade path would logically focus on the graphics card first.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-14600KF is a 14-core, 20-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. It features 24 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB of L2 cache per core, along with 80 KB of L1 cache per core. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration and is built on Intel’s 10 nm process. Its benchmark scores are strong: 32544 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 4594 in Cinebench R23 single-core, and 17085 in Geekbench multi-core.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is secondary to the GPU, as evidenced by the consistent FPS scaling across resolutions. The CPU’s 90th percentile ranking among all CPUs indicates it has ample headroom for this sports title, which is typically not CPU-intensive compared to strategy or simulation games. The 14 cores and 20 threads provide sufficient parallelism for the game’s physics and AI calculations, but the measured FPS data does not show any CPU-related bottlenecks.

The CPU’s high single-core performance (4594 in Cinebench R23 single-core) is beneficial for maintaining stable framerates, as Undisputed likely relies on a few main threads for gameplay logic. The 5.30 GHz boost clock ensures that these threads execute quickly, reducing the likelihood of frame drops. However, since the GPU is the limiting factor at all resolutions (as shown by the resolution scaling analysis), the CPU’s contribution is to keep the system from becoming a secondary bottleneck.

The CPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900 (0.3% higher score), AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G (0.4% higher), Intel Core Ultra 5 245 (0.8% higher), and AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 (0.8% lower). These small percentage differences indicate that the i5-14600KF is competitive with these processors, and any performance differences in Undisputed would be negligible since the GPU dominates the frame rate.
