# Undisputed with Intel Core i7-14700F + AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT

The combination of the Intel Core i7-14700F and AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT delivers a playable but uneven experience in Undisputed, a boxing title from 2023 that scales heavily with graphics settings. Measured data shows this pairing ranking 2667th out of 3718 tested combos in the game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. The 20-core, 28-thread Raptor Lake processor provides ample headroom, but the RDNA 2.0 GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory becomes the primary constraint at higher resolutions and quality presets. Below is a detailed breakdown of how this combo behaves across resolutions, settings, and workloads.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance curve as resolution increases, with the RX 6600 XT clearly becoming the limiting factor at 4K. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 229 FPS average, which drops to 165 FPS at 1440p and 105 FPS at 4K — a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K on the same Low preset. This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is being pushed progressively harder, while the i7-14700F's strong single-thread performance (4,958 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 2,429 in Geekbench single-core) keeps CPU bottlenecks at bay even at lower resolutions.

Moving to Medium settings, the frame rate drops are consistent: 165 FPS at 1080p, 119 FPS at 1440p, and 75 FPS at 4K. The 4K Medium result includes a measured minimum of 64 FPS and maximum of 87 FPS, showing a 23 FPS variance that suggests some scene-dependent load spikes. At High settings, the pattern continues with 136 FPS at 1080p, 98 FPS at 1440p, and 62 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result falls just above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay, but it leaves no margin for demanding in-ring moments.

Ultra settings expose the GPU's limits most clearly: 88 FPS at 1080p, 63 FPS at 1440p, and only 40 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra figure represents a 56% drop from 1080p Ultra, and the 40 FPS average would feel noticeably stuttery in a fast-paced sports title. The resolution scaling data suggests that the RX 6600 XT's 256.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 128-bit bus width become a wall at 4K, particularly when texture quality and shadow details scale up. At 1080p, however, the combo delivers high refresh rates even on Medium and High presets, making it clear that the GPU is sufficient for 1080p gaming but struggles to maintain playable frame rates at 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F brings substantial processing power to this pairing, with 20 cores and 28 threads operating at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This Raptor Lake Refresh processor, built on Intel's 10 nm process, scores 35,122 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 4,958 in single-core, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs tested. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, which scores 53,288 average (0.6% lower), and the Intel Xeon 6505P at 53,701 (0.2% lower), showing the i7-14700F sits in a tightly contested performance band.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU, given that frame rates scale almost linearly with resolution changes. The 33 MB shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample capacity for game logic and physics calculations, which are typically single-threaded in sports titles. The 4,257 PassMark single-thread score and 2,455 PassMark physics score indicate strong per-core performance, which matters for boxing games that simulate player movement and collision detection in real time.

The data does not show any CPU-bound scenario in the measured results; even at 1080p Low with 229 FPS, the frame rate is likely GPU-limited given the RX 6600 XT's mid-range positioning (70th percentile of all GPUs). The i7-14700F's nearest rivals in the CPU benchmark database — including the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (0.3% higher) and AMD EPYC 7313P (0.8% higher) — are largely workstation or server parts, which underscores that this desktop processor has far more compute headroom than the GPU can utilize in this title. For players using this combo, the CPU will not be the limiting factor at any resolution or settings preset tested.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal balance between visual quality and performance depends heavily on target resolution. At 1080p, Medium settings deliver 165 FPS average with a minimum of 140 FPS and maximum of 189 FPS, making it the sweet spot for high-refresh-rate displays. High settings at 1080p still produce a strong 136 FPS average, so players with 144 Hz monitors can choose either preset without compromise. Ultra at 1080p drops to 88 FPS, which is playable but sacrifices the smoothness that the lower presets provide.

At 1440p, Medium settings are the clear recommendation, hitting 119 FPS average with a 101 FPS minimum and 137 FPS maximum. High settings at 1440p produce 98 FPS, which remains playable but begins to approach the 60-90 FPS range where fast motion can feel less fluid. Ultra at 1440p falls to 63 FPS, right at the edge of comfort; the data shows this preset is best avoided for competitive play. Low settings at 1440p reach 165 FPS, but the visual trade-off in a sports game with detailed character models and arena environments is likely too steep for most users.

At 4K, the choices narrow considerably. Medium settings yield 75 FPS with a 64 FPS minimum, which is the only preset that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS at this resolution. High settings at 4K produce 62 FPS, which is technically playable but leaves no headroom for frame time spikes. Ultra at 4K drops to 40 FPS, which is not recommended. Low settings at 4K reach 105 FPS, but the reduction in texture quality and shadow detail would undermine the visual fidelity that 4K displays are meant to showcase. The data suggests that 4K Medium is the best experience for this combo, while 1080p and 1440p players can push to High or Ultra depending on their preference for frame rate versus visual polish.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700F + AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT combination ranks 2667th out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 28th percentile of all pairings. This ranking reflects the GPU's mid-range position; the RX 6600 XT's nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (1.1% higher average score), Intel Arc A350M (0.8% lower), and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (0.8% lower). The GPU's 70th percentile standing among all GPUs, combined with its 8 GB memory capacity, positions it as a capable 1080p card that struggles at 4K Ultra.

The CPU's high percentile (91st) means that the bottleneck in this combo is almost entirely the GPU, which is reflected in the measured frame rates. In the context of the full combo ranking, this pairing sits below configurations with stronger GPUs but above those with weaker processors. The 28.3% gap between this combo's rank and the top of the database (2667th out of 3718) indicates that players seeking 4K Ultra performance would need a significantly more powerful GPU — the RX 6600 XT's 10.60 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 165.7 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply insufficient for that workload.

For comparison, the CPU's nearest rivals show that the i7-14700F is not the differentiator here; any of the four nearest CPUs would likely produce similar frame rates in Undisputed given the same GPU. The ranking is therefore a reflection of the GPU's capabilities, and the data confirms that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming with Medium to High settings.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: each step up in resolution costs roughly 30-40% of the frame rate at the same settings, while each step up in settings costs 20-30% at the same resolution. The 4K Ultra result at 40 FPS is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold, while 1080p Low at 229 FPS is the only configuration exceeding 200 FPS. Medium settings at 1080p and 1440p offer the most balanced experience, with 1440p Medium providing a 119 FPS average that suits most displays. The 8 GB VRAM capacity appears sufficient for all tested settings, as no min FPS anomalies suggest memory spilling. Players with 144 Hz monitors should target 1080p Medium or High, while 60 Hz display owners can safely use 1440p Medium or 4K Medium without frame rate concerns.
