Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K in Undisputed is steep and consistent across all settings, revealing a purely GPU-limited workload at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 232.5 FPS at 1920x1080 to 168.2 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 105.5 FPS at 3840x2160. That is a 54.6% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the decline is similar: 167.3 FPS at 1080p, 119.5 FPS at 1440p, and 78.8 FPS at 4K — a 52.9% drop. The pattern holds at High settings, where 136.5 FPS at 1080p becomes 101.6 FPS at 1440p and 63.4 FPS at 4K, a 53.6% reduction.

Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling penalty. The frame rate plummets from 90.7 FPS at 1080p to 61.8 FPS at 1440p and finally to 40.5 FPS at 4K. That represents a 55.3% loss from 1080p to 4K, the largest percentage drop of any preset. This consistent ~53-55% scaling band across all four presets indicates that resolution is the dominant variable; the GPU's rendering pipeline saturates at 4K regardless of quality level.

The data strongly suggests the limiting component at 4K is the GPU. The Radeon RX 7600, with its 128-bit memory bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, simply cannot maintain high frame rates when pixel count quadruples. The 8 GB VRAM capacity also becomes a constraint at 4K Ultra, where the average of 40.5 FPS is borderline playable but far from smooth. At 1080p, however, the same GPU delivers 232.5 FPS on Low — a clear sign that the CPU is not the bottleneck at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F brings substantial processing power to Undisputed, and the benchmark results confirm it is not the limiting factor at any resolution tested. With 20 cores and 28 threads, this Raptor Lake-R part has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35443 and single-core score of 5003 place it in the 94th percentile among all CPUs. The PassMark multi-thread score of 41765 and single-thread score of 4261 reinforce this picture of a high-end desktop processor.

Undisputed is a sports title that relies on physics calculations for boxer movement and punch impact, but the measured FPS data shows no CPU ceiling. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 232.5 FPS — far beyond any display's refresh rate and well above what the GPU alone could produce if the CPU were holding it back. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly struggling at 40.5 FPS, the CPU's role remains secondary; the frame rate is dictated by pixel throughput, not processor throughput.

The CPU's benchmark scores relative to its nearest rivals are instructive. The i7-14700F trails the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X by only 0.6% in average benchmark score, and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D by 1.1%. It actually leads the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 by 1.2% and the AMD EPYC 7313P by 1.7%. This places the i7-14700F in elite company, with a 94th percentile ranking that means it outperforms 94% of all CPUs in the database. For a sports game like Undisputed, this level of headroom means the processor will never be the reason for a frame rate drop.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce 232.5 FPS, Medium yields 167.3 FPS, High reaches 136.5 FPS, and Ultra falls to 90.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 141.8 FPS, a 61% reduction. This resolution is clearly where the hardware shines, with every preset except Ultra maintaining well above 100 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but the GPU begins to show strain. Low settings deliver 168.2 FPS, Medium drops to 119.5 FPS, High manages 101.6 FPS, and Ultra sits at 61.8 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result is notable — it barely exceeds the 4K High result of 63.4 FPS, suggesting that the Ultra preset's additional effects tax the GPU as heavily as a resolution jump.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is the clear bottleneck. Low settings yield 105.5 FPS, Medium drops to 78.8 FPS, High falls to 63.4 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 40.5 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 65 FPS, and even the best 4K result is below the worst 1080p result. The 4K Ultra figure of 40.5 FPS is the only measured result below 60 FPS across the entire test matrix, highlighting the GPU's limitations at this resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is the decisive factor in this combo's Undisputed performance. Built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, this GPU has a base clock of 1720 MHz and a boost clock of 2655 MHz, with a game clock of 2250 MHz. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs give it a pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance of 21.75 TFLOPS.

The benchmark data shows the GPU's 63rd percentile ranking is accurate for this workload. Its average benchmark score of 20258 puts it just 0.6% ahead of the RX 7600 XT and 0.8% ahead of the RX 460, while trailing the RTX 3070 Mobile by 1.3% and the Intel Arc B570 by 1.5%. In Undisputed specifically, the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit bus become limiting factors at 4K Ultra, where the 40.5 FPS result indicates memory bandwidth saturation.

The GPU's role is most evident in the resolution scaling data. The consistent ~53-55% FPS drop from 1080p to 4K across all presets is a signature of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's 94th percentile ranking cannot compensate for the GPU's 63rd percentile standing when pixel count quadruples. At 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to push 232.5 FPS on Low, but at 4K Ultra, it falls to 40.5 FPS — a 82.6% reduction that clearly demonstrates the GPU as the performance ceiling.

Settings Recommendations

For players prioritizing smooth frame rates, the Low preset at 1920x1080 delivers 232.5 FPS — the highest measured result in the entire dataset. This is ideal for competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays. However, the visual sacrifice is substantial, and the Medium preset at 167.3 FPS offers a better balance of quality and speed while still exceeding 144 Hz.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 101.6 FPS is the recommended choice. It provides a significant visual upgrade over Medium (119.5 FPS) while remaining well above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 61.8 FPS is playable but leaves little margin for frame drops during intense gameplay sequences. For 4K gaming, the High preset at 63.4 FPS is the only viable option; Medium at 78.8 FPS is smoother but sacrifices noticeable detail, while Ultra at 40.5 FPS is not recommended for a fast-paced sports title.

The data suggests that the Medium preset offers the best overall experience across all resolutions. It maintains 167.3 FPS at 1080p, 119.5 FPS at 1440p, and 78.8 FPS at 4K — all comfortably above 60 FPS. The jump from Medium to High costs 30.8 FPS at 1080p and 41.0 FPS at 4K, while the visual improvement is typically modest in a sports game. For players with 144 Hz monitors, the High preset at 1080p (136.5 FPS) or Medium at 1440p (119.5 FPS) are the best matches.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700F + AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination ranks 1068 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 32nd percentile of all tested systems. This ranking reflects the GPU's modest 63rd percentile standing relative to all GPUs, which drags down an otherwise strong CPU. The i7-14700F's 94th percentile CPU ranking is effectively wasted in this pairing at higher resolutions, where the RX 7600 becomes the limiting factor.

The ranking is particularly revealing when compared to the component-level benchmarks. The CPU alone outperforms 94% of all processors, yet the combo ranks in the bottom third for this game. This discrepancy is explained by the GPU's 63rd percentile ranking and the game's heavy reliance on GPU throughput at higher resolutions. A system with a weaker CPU but a stronger GPU would likely rank higher in Undisputed, as the game's frame rate is governed by pixel fill rate and memory bandwidth rather than processor thread count.

The combo's 1068th place ranking out of 1580 means it sits in the lower-middle segment of the database. For context, the CPU's nearest rivals — the Ryzen 9 9900X and Ryzen 9 9900X3D — would likely produce similar rankings if paired with the same GPU, since the GPU is the bottleneck. The ranking is a clear indicator that this combination is best suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming, where the GPU can operate within its optimal performance envelope, rather than 4K, where its limitations are exposed.
