Undisputed

# Undisputed with Intel Core i7-13700K + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

The Intel Core i7-13700K paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti produces a fascinating spread of frame rates in Undisputed, revealing a system that is heavily GPU-bound at higher settings but surprisingly CPU-bound at lower ones. With measured averages ranging from 76.6 FPS at 4K Ultra to 439.1 FPS at 1080p Low, this combination demonstrates exceptional headroom across the board. The combo ranks 207th out of 1,580 tested configurations, placing it comfortably in the top 13% of all systems tested for this game — a strong showing that underscores how well this pairing handles the boxing sim's demands.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lives. At Low settings, the system delivers 439.1 FPS at 1080p, drops to 317.9 FPS at 1440p (a 27.6% reduction), and then falls to 203.1 FPS at 4K — a 36.1% further reduction. This steep decline pattern indicates the GPU is the limiting factor even at Low settings, as the frame rate scales almost inversely with pixel count.

Moving to High settings, the scaling becomes even more pronounced. The 264.8 FPS at 1080p drops to 189.2 FPS at 1440p (28.6% lower), then to 118.9 FPS at 4K (37.2% lower than 1440p). The consistent ~28-37% reductions at each resolution step suggest a well-balanced system where the RTX 4070 Ti's rendering throughput, not the CPU, governs performance at these settings.

Ultra settings reveal the most dramatic scaling curve. The 169.2 FPS at 1080p falls to 122.6 FPS at 1440p (27.5% drop), then plummets to 76.6 FPS at 4K — a 37.5% reduction from 1440p and less than half the 1080p Ultra figure. This pattern indicates that at Ultra, the game's heavier effects and geometry processing amplify the GPU's workload disproportionately as resolution climbs, making the 4K Ultra experience the only borderline scenario in this entire dataset.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus provides 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves more than adequate for Undisputed at every tested configuration. The fact that even 4K Ultra maintains 76.6 FPS — above playable thresholds — suggests the game's texture and geometry demands fit comfortably within this memory capacity.

Clock behavior reinforces the GPU-centric narrative. With a base clock of 2310 MHz and boost of 2610 MHz, the Ada Lovelace architecture's 7,680 shading units and 60 RT cores deliver the raw throughput visible in the frame rates. The 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 performance translates directly into the high refresh rates seen at 1080p and 1440p, where the GPU never appears to hit a computational ceiling.

The GPU's 85th percentile ranking among all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44,900, positions it as a high-tier performer. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile, scores 45,152 — just 0.6% higher — while the Intel Arc A730M trails by 1.5%. This tight clustering suggests the RTX 4070 Ti is operating near the top of its performance class, and Undisputed's measured results align with that positioning.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 4K smoothly?

A: Yes, at High settings it averages 118.9 FPS at 4K, and even Ultra maintains 76.6 FPS. The lowest 4K average across all settings is 76.6 FPS, which remains above typical 60 FPS targets.

Q: What is the best resolution for competitive play?

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals?

A: The Core i7-13700K scores 47,282 on average, with the Core i7-13700KF just 0.1% higher and the AMD EPYC 4364P 0.3% lower. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 5945 leads by 0.5%, while the Core i9-12900F trails by 0.4%.

Q: Is the GPU or CPU more important for this game?

A: The data shows GPU-bound behavior at most settings. At 1080p Low, the 439.1 FPS figure suggests the CPU can feed frames far beyond what most displays can show, while the steep resolution scaling indicates GPU workload dominates.

Q: What memory configuration does this CPU support?

A: The Core i7-13700K supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, providing flexibility depending on motherboard choice.

Q: How does this combo rank overall?

A: It ranks 207th out of 1,580 tested combinations, placing it in the top 13.1% of all configs tested for Undisputed.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to High settings as the sweet spot for most users. At 1080p High, the system produces 264.8 FPS — more than enough for any high-refresh display — while 1440p High delivers 189.2 FPS and 4K High maintains 118.9 FPS. This preset offers the best balance between visual fidelity and frame rate headroom across all resolutions.

Medium settings provide a compelling alternative for those prioritizing raw speed. At 1080p Medium, the 318.8 FPS average is 20.4% higher than High, while 1440p Medium's 229.7 FPS is 21.4% faster. The visual compromise appears modest relative to the performance gain, making Medium a strong choice for esports-focused players.

Ultra settings, while playable, show the steepest performance cost. The 169.2 FPS at 1080p Ultra drops to 122.6 FPS at 1440p and 76.6 FPS at 4K. For users with 4K displays seeking maximum visual quality, Ultra remains viable, but the 35.6% performance penalty versus High at 4K makes High the more sensible default.

How This Combo Ranks

The 207th rank out of 1,580 tested combos places this system in the 86.9th percentile of all configurations measured for Undisputed. This positioning reflects the balanced nature of the pairing: the RTX 4070 Ti's 85th percentile GPU ranking is complemented by the Core i7-13700K's 93rd percentile CPU standing.

The CPU's average benchmark score of 47,282 puts it just ahead of the AMD EPYC 4364P (47,131, 0.3% lower) and Core i9-12900F (47,081, 0.4% lower), while trailing the Core i7-13700KF by a negligible 0.1%. This clustering indicates the processor is delivering near-peak performance for its class, with no meaningful headroom left untapped.

For the GPU, the 44,900 average benchmark score sits within 1.6% of all four nearest rivals, suggesting the RTX 4070 Ti is performing exactly as expected. The combination's strong rank in Undisputed specifically — better than its raw component percentiles might suggest — indicates the game responds well to this hardware pairing.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 439.1 FPS, Medium reaches 318.8 FPS, High hits 264.8 FPS, and Ultra settles at 169.2 FPS. The progression shows a 22.8% drop from Low to Medium, another 17.0% from Medium to High, and a 36.1% reduction from High to Ultra.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages remain impressively high. Low settings yield 317.9 FPS, Medium achieves 229.7 FPS, High produces 189.2 FPS, and Ultra maintains 122.6 FPS. The setting-to-setting drops are 27.7% from Low to Medium, 17.6% from Medium to High, and 35.2% from High to Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the system still performs admirably. Low settings deliver 203.1 FPS, Medium reaches 144.9 FPS, High produces 118.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 76.6 FPS. The reduction from Low to Medium is 28.7%, Medium to High is 17.9%, and High to Ultra is 35.6%.

CPU Role

The Core i7-13700K's 16 cores and 24 threads provide substantial parallel processing capability, with Cinebench R23 multi-core scores reaching 39,000 and single-core hitting 5,505. These figures indicate the processor can handle Undisputed's simulation and AI workloads without breaking a sweat, as evidenced by the exceptionally high frame rates at 1080p Low.

The CPU's 93rd percentile ranking among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 47,282, places it firmly in enthusiast territory. Its boost clock of 5.40 GHz and base clock of 3.40 GHz, combined with 30 MB of shared L3 cache, provide the low-latency response that competitive fighting games require.

The data suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor in any tested configuration. Even at 1080p Low where the GPU has the least work, the 439.1 FPS average indicates the processor can feed frames faster than any current display technology can show. The nearest CPU rival, the Core i7-13700KF, performs within 0.1% across all benchmarks, confirming that the unlocked multiplier and 125W TDP deliver expected performance levels without thermal or power constraints becoming apparent in this game's workload.
