Undisputed

Settings Recommendations

For Undisputed, the measured data shows a clear sweet spot at Medium settings across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers 171 FPS average, which is only 67 FPS behind the Low preset's 238 FPS but 80 FPS ahead of High at 142 FPS. The Medium preset also provides the only complete FPS range data in the entire measurement set, with a minimum of 146 FPS and maximum of 197 FPS at 1080p, indicating consistent frame delivery without severe dips.

Moving to 2560x1440, Medium again proves optimal with 124 FPS average, maintaining a 22 FPS advantage over High (102 FPS) while remaining 48 FPS behind Low (172 FPS). The frame range at 1440p Medium (105-142 FPS) shows tighter variance than the 1080p Medium range, suggesting better frame pacing at higher resolution. At 3840x2160, Medium produces 78 FPS average with a 67-90 FPS range, which remains comfortably playable for a sports title.

The Ultra preset demonstrates diminishing returns at every resolution. At 1080p, Ultra drops to 91 FPS—80 FPS below Medium—while at 1440p it falls to 66 FPS, and at 4K it drops to 42 FPS. These figures indicate that Ultra's additional visual fidelity comes at a steep performance cost that outweighs its benefits for competitive play. The High preset occupies a middle ground, but at 4K it produces 65 FPS, which is 13 FPS below Medium's 78 FPS, making High less attractive for 4K users.

For players prioritizing smooth gameplay, Medium provides the best balance of visual quality and performance. The data shows that Low settings at 1080p reach 238 FPS, which exceeds display refresh rate capabilities of most monitors, so the extra frames beyond Medium are largely wasted. Medium at 1440p offers 124 FPS, which suits high-refresh-rate displays, while Medium at 4K at 78 FPS remains fluid for the slower-paced boxing gameplay of Undisputed.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 280.3 GB/s of bandwidth. Its RDNA 2.0 architecture with 2048 shading units and 32 ray accelerators operates at a base clock of 2055 MHz, a game clock of 2410 MHz, and a boost clock of 2635 MHz. The GPU's 10.79 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 168.6 GPixel/s pixel rate provide ample raw throughput for Undisputed's rendering demands.

The memory configuration plays a critical role in the measured results. At 4K Ultra, the 8 GB VRAM capacity becomes a limiting factor, as evidenced by the 42 FPS average—the lowest score in the entire dataset. The 128-bit memory bus and 280.3 GB/s bandwidth appear sufficient for Medium and High presets at 4K (78 and 65 FPS respectively), but the Ultra preset's additional texture and shading demands likely exceed what the memory subsystem can efficiently deliver.

Benchmark results place the RX 6650 XT at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19765. Compared to its nearest rivals, the NVIDIA Tesla K40m scores 19885 (0.6% higher), the AMD FirePro W7000 scores 19905 (0.7% higher), while the AMD FirePro D300 at 19637 is 0.7% lower and the NVIDIA Quadro K5200 at 19602 is 0.8% lower. These narrow margins indicate the RX 6650 XT sits at a performance tier where small architectural differences produce measurable FPS variations.

The GPU's 176 W TDP and PCIe 4.0 x8 interface are consistent with its mid-range positioning. In Undisputed specifically, the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck at 4K, where even Low settings produce 109 FPS—a figure that drops to 65 FPS at High and 42 FPS at Ultra. This scaling pattern demonstrates that the RX 6650 XT's compute resources, rather than its memory bandwidth alone, determine 4K performance ceilings.

The Intel Core i7-14700F features 20 cores (with 28 threads) based on the Raptor Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process. Its base clock of 2.10 GHz boosts to 5.40 GHz, and the 33 MB shared L3 cache (with 2 MB L2 per core and 80 KB L1 per core) provides substantial memory hierarchy for game workloads. The CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, with ECC memory support available.

The CPU's benchmark results demonstrate strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 35122, while single-core reaches 4958. PassMark multi-thread scores 41317, and Geekbench multi-core achieves 19620 with a single-core score of 2429. These figures place the i7-14700F at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53620.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is evident from the high frame rates at lower settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 238 FPS, which indicates the CPU can feed the GPU far beyond typical display refresh rates. The 1080p Medium result of 171 FPS and 1440p Low result of 172 FPS further confirm that the CPU provides ample headroom for the GPU to operate at its full potential.

The CPU's 65 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility make it a efficient choice for gaming systems. Its boost clock of 5.40 GHz provides excellent single-thread performance for game logic and physics calculations, while the 20-core configuration ensures background tasks do not interfere with gameplay. The PassMark physics score of 2455 and extended instructions score of 28564 indicate strong computational capabilities that support the game's simulation aspects.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured performance spans from 238 FPS at Low settings to 91 FPS at Ultra. Medium settings produce 171 FPS with a range of 146-197 FPS, while High settings deliver 142 FPS. The 147 FPS gap between Low and Ultra represents a 61% performance reduction, with each settings tier adding progressively smaller FPS penalties: Low to Medium costs 67 FPS, Medium to High costs 29 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 51 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance scales from 172 FPS at Low to 66 FPS at Ultra. Medium produces 124 FPS with a 105-142 FPS range, and High delivers 102 FPS. The resolution increase from 1080p to 1440p costs 66 FPS at Low settings (238 to 172), 47 FPS at Medium (171 to 124), 40 FPS at High (142 to 102), and 25 FPS at Ultra (91 to 66). The diminishing FPS loss at higher settings indicates the GPU becomes more resolution-limited as settings increase.

At 3840x2160, performance drops to 109 FPS at Low, 78 FPS at Medium (with a 67-90 FPS range), 65 FPS at High, and 42 FPS at Ultra. The 4K to 1440p transition costs 63 FPS at Low (172 to 109), 46 FPS at Medium (124 to 78), 37 FPS at High (102 to 65), and 24 FPS at Ultra (66 to 42). The consistent pattern of lower FPS losses at higher settings across resolution increases suggests that the GPU's fixed-cost operations (like geometry setup) become less significant relative to pixel-shading work at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the performance characteristics of this combo. At Low settings, the drop from 238 FPS at 1080p to 109 FPS at 4K represents a 54% reduction, closely matching the 4x pixel count increase that would predict a 75% reduction if purely pixel-bound. The smaller actual reduction indicates the CPU or other bottlenecks limit performance at 1080p Low, preventing the GPU from reaching its full potential.

At Medium settings, the scaling shows 171 FPS at 1080p, 124 FPS at 1440p, and 78 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop of 27% and the 1440p to 4K drop of 37% show increasing GPU limitation at higher resolutions. The 1080p to 4K total reduction of 54% again falls short of the pixel-count prediction, suggesting some CPU or memory bandwidth constraints remain.

High settings demonstrate the most linear scaling: 142 FPS at 1080p, 102 FPS at 1440p, and 65 FPS at 4K. The 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p and 36% drop from 1440p to 4K indicate the GPU is increasingly the limiting factor, though still not purely pixel-bound. Ultra settings show 91 FPS at 1080p, 66 FPS at 1440p, and 42 FPS at 4K, with drops of 27% and 36% respectively—the most consistent scaling across resolutions.

The scaling analysis indicates the RX 6650 XT becomes the primary limiting component above 1080p at higher settings, while the i7-14700F's strong single-thread performance (Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4958) prevents CPU bottlenecks even at 1080p Low where 238 FPS is achieved. The 4K Ultra result of 42 FPS confirms that the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus cannot sustain maximum settings at 4K, making Medium the practical ceiling for 4K play at 78 FPS.
