Undisputed

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT paired with the Intel Core i7-14700F delivers a commanding performance profile in Undisputed, consistently producing high frame rates across all tested resolutions. The data indicates that this combination is exceptionally well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors, though the most demanding settings at 4K will challenge the GPU. The benchmark results showcase a clear hierarchy of performance that shifts depending on the resolution and quality preset, with the CPU proving more than capable of feeding the GPU at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data reveals that the Medium and High presets offer the most balanced experience across all resolutions. At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers an average of 250.9 FPS, which is only slightly below the Low preset’s 344.4 FPS but provides a substantial visual upgrade. High at 1080p still maintains an excellent 208.8 FPS average, making it a viable choice for competitive play. For users with 1440p displays, the High preset stands out as the optimal choice, achieving 147.6 FPS—a figure that comfortably exceeds the 144 Hz refresh rate common on modern monitors while maintaining strong image quality.

The Ultra preset presents a different trade-off. At 1080p, it averages 133.9 FPS, which is perfectly playable but represents a significant 36% drop from the High preset. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 93.5 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 58.3 FPS. The data shows that Ultra is best reserved for 1080p or for users who prioritize maximum visual fidelity over frame rate. The Low preset, while delivering maximum performance with 344.4 FPS at 1080p and 250.5 FPS at 1440p, sacrifices too much visual quality for the marginal gains over Medium. The sweet spot for this configuration is clearly the High preset at 1440p, offering the best combination of fluidity and detail, with Medium as a strong alternative for those seeking extra headroom.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with a Navi 21 chip, manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC. It carries 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s. The GPU’s boost clock is rated at 2250 MHz, with a game clock of 2015 MHz and a base clock of 1825 MHz. These specifications make it a formidable mid-generation performer, ranking in the 87th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The GPU’s 16 GB VRAM buffer is a critical asset for Undisputed, as the game’s texture-heavy environments and detailed character models can consume substantial memory at higher resolutions. The data shows that the GPU is the primary scaling factor as settings increase; at 4K, the frame rate drops from 157.6 FPS on Low to 58.3 FPS on Ultra, a 63% reduction. This steep decline is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where the rendering load overwhelms the compute units. The RX 6800 XT’s 4608 shading units and 128 ROPs are tasked with heavy pixel work at 4K, and the results indicate that while the card handles 1440p effortlessly, 4K Ultra pushes it to its limits. Interestingly, the GPU’s benchmark scores show it performing 2.6% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Arc A550M, yet 1.7% behind the NVIDIA RTX A1000, placing it in a competitive tier.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a textbook GPU-bound progression. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 208.8 at 1080p to 147.6 at 1440p (a 29% reduction), and then to 94.4 at 4K (a 36% reduction from 1440p). The Low preset shows a similar pattern, falling from 344.4 at 1080p to 250.5 at 1440p and 157.6 at 4K. This consistent halving of performance as pixel count quadruples indicates that the RX 6800 XT is the limiting component at higher resolutions.

The CPU’s role becomes apparent at 1080p. The Core i7-14700F, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, is more than sufficient to feed the GPU at this resolution. The gap between Low and Medium at 1080p is 93.5 FPS, while at 4K the same settings gap is only 43.5 FPS. This compression at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck there, while at 1080p, the CPU’s headroom allows the GPU to stretch its legs. The CPU’s benchmark percentile of 94 places it well above average, and its nearest rivals—the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (0.6% ahead) and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D (1.1% ahead)—show that the i7-14700F is not holding back this GPU in any meaningful way. The data suggests that users should expect smoother scaling at 1440p, where the balance between CPU and GPU is optimal.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the configuration delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. The Low preset averages 344.4 FPS, making it suitable for extreme refresh rates. Medium averages 250.9 FPS, while High averages 208.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p averages 133.9 FPS, which is still smooth for most displays but shows a significant performance tax. The spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 210.5 FPS, a 61% difference.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain excellent. The Low preset averages 250.5 FPS, Medium averages 178.7 FPS, and High averages 147.6 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 93.5 FPS, which is still playable but begins to show the GPU’s limitations. The difference between 1080p and 1440p at High settings is 61.2 FPS, representing a 29% drop.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly stressed. High settings average 94.4 FPS, which is adequate for 60 Hz displays but not for high-refresh gaming. Medium averages 114.1 FPS, while Low averages 157.6 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K averages just 58.3 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. The data shows that 4K gaming with this configuration is best limited to Medium or High settings, where the frame rates remain above the 60 FPS threshold. The combo ranks 576th out of 1580 tested combinations in this game, placing it in the top 36% of all configurations, a solid result for a mid-high-end pairing.
