Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-14600KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end 1440p and 4K capable configuration for Undisputed. The measured data shows that this combo consistently delivers high average frame rates, with the primary trade-off being between visual fidelity and raw performance. This analysis breaks down the benchmark results to determine the optimal settings, the role of each component, and how this specific pairing ranks against other tested configurations.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data for Undisputed reveals a clear hierarchy across the four available presets. The optimal choice depends on the user's display resolution and preference for frame rate versus visual quality. At 1920x1080, the data shows a wide spread from 439 FPS on Low to 168 FPS on Ultra. The High preset, at 262 FPS, offers a substantial improvement in visual fidelity over Medium (316 FPS) while still maintaining a frame rate that far exceeds the refresh rate of standard monitors, making it the best balance for most users at this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the Medium preset delivers 228 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 317 FPS seen at Low, but it provides a much better visual experience. High settings at 1440p produce 189 FPS, which remains exceptionally smooth and is the recommended starting point for competitive play. While Ultra at 122 FPS is playable and offers the highest fidelity, the 67 FPS gap between High and Ultra suggests diminishing returns for the performance cost. The data indicates that High at 1440p is the sweet spot, offering a high refresh rate experience without compromising on detail.

At 3840x2160, the landscape changes. The High preset manages 120 FPS, which is excellent for 4K gaming and provides a smooth, responsive experience. Medium at 144 FPS is also viable, but the jump from Medium to High is only a 24 FPS difference (144 to 120 FPS), making High the better choice for visual clarity. The Ultra preset drops to 77 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS but represents a significant reduction in smoothness compared to the other presets. Given the data, High settings at 4K provide the best balance of frame rate and visual quality, making it the recommended preset for this resolution. Low settings (201 FPS) are only advisable for users seeking the absolute maximum frame rate at the expense of all visual detail.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the primary driver of performance in Undisputed, as evidenced by the scaling of frame rates across resolutions. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. This memory configuration is sufficient for the game's data at all tested settings, as no minFPS data suggests a memory capacity bottleneck. The GPU's boost clock of 2610 MHz, built on the 5 nm Ada Lovelace architecture with 7680 shading units, is the engine behind the high frame rates observed.

The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU is not the limiting factor, as frame rates reach up to 439 FPS on Low settings. However, the performance drop from 1080p to 4K is significant, indicating that the GPU's fillrate and compute power become the primary constraint at higher resolutions. For instance, at High settings, the average FPS drops from 262 at 1080p to 189 at 1440p and finally to 120 at 4K. This scaling pattern is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. The RTX 4070 Ti's 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 performance is what allows it to maintain these high frame rates, but the data clearly shows that even this powerful card sees a substantial workload increase at 4K resolution.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44795. Its nearest rival in the database is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, which scores only 0.8% higher. This establishes the RTX 4070 Ti as a top-tier performer, and the in-game FPS results confirm this, showing it can handle Undisputed at high settings across all resolutions. The GPU's performance is the main reason the combo achieves over 120 FPS at 4K High, a feat that requires significant graphics horsepower.

Medium settings provide 144 FPS, with a measured range of 123 to 166 FPS. The High preset is the recommended choice here, averaging 120 FPS. The most demanding configuration, 4K Ultra, averages 77 FPS. This breakdown shows that the RTX 4070 Ti is powerful enough to make even 4K Ultra playable, though users seeking the smoothest experience will prefer High settings.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals important characteristics of this combo. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 262 at 1080p to 189 at 1440p, a 27.9% decrease. From 1440p to 4K, the FPS drops from 189 to 120, a further 36.5% decrease. This pattern indicates that the game becomes increasingly GPU-bound as resolution increases. The percentage drop is larger from 1440p to 4K than from 1080p to 1440p, which is consistent with the quadratic increase in pixel count.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more dramatic. The combo produces 439 FPS at 1080p, 317 FPS at 1440p, and 201 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 27.8%, and from 1440p to 4K is 36.6%. This shows that even at the lowest settings, where the CPU might be expected to play a larger role, the GPU is still the dominant factor in determining performance. The RTX 4070 Ti's rendering capabilities are the bottleneck at these higher resolutions.

The scaling data suggests that for this combo, the CPU is not the limiting component in Undisputed. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see a smaller FPS difference between 1080p and 1440p, as the GPU would be waiting on the CPU. Instead, the consistent and substantial FPS drops with each resolution increase point to the GPU being the primary constraint. This is a common finding for high-end CPU and GPU pairings, where the GPU's workload scales directly with resolution.
