# How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT achieves a combo rank of 2359 out of 3718 tested combinations in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the lower-middle portion of the database, roughly at the 36th percentile of all recorded combos. The ranking reflects a system that can handle the game at playable framerates across most settings, but it is not positioned among the top-tier performers.

The CPU is a strong contributor to this overall standing. With an average benchmark score of 53620, the i7-14700F sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs tested. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Xeon 6505P, which scores 53701 (a delta of -0.2%), and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, which scores 53288 (a delta of 0.6%). The i7-14700F effectively trades blows with these processors, being marginally ahead of the Ryzen 9 7900X and slightly behind the Xeon 6505P. This level of CPU performance is far above what Undisputed's simulation and physics workloads typically demand, meaning the processor is unlikely to be the bottleneck in most scenarios.

The GPU, by contrast, is more modest in its standing. The RX 7600 XT has an average benchmark score of 17083, placing it at the 60th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, scores 17208, which is 0.7% higher. The RX 7600 XT also sits just ahead of the GTX 690 (17037, delta 0.3%) and the HD 7970M (17019, delta 0.4%). This places the graphics card in a competitive mid-range bracket, capable of delivering solid 1080p and 1440p experiences but not designed for extreme 4K workloads.

The combination of a high-percentile CPU with a mid-percentile GPU explains the overall rank. The data suggests that the system is balanced toward CPU-heavy tasks, which is unusual for a sports title like Undisputed. The measured frame rates confirm this, showing that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions and settings, while the CPU has ample headroom to spare.

# GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It features 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 2250 MHz with an effective speed of 18 Gbps. The GPU's base clock is 1980 MHz, with a game clock of 2470 MHz and a boost clock of 2755 MHz.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is pivotal, as the measured FPS scales significantly with both resolution and settings. At 1080p Low, the card delivers an average of 240 FPS, which is the highest recorded figure in the dataset. This indicates that at lower resolutions and minimal settings, the RX 7600 XT has substantial headroom, likely limited more by the CPU's frame delivery than by its own compute capabilities. The 16 GB of VRAM is more than sufficient for this game's textures and geometry, even at Ultra settings, where the card still manages 92 FPS at 1080p.

The GPU's compute specifications, including 22.57 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 2048 shading units, are adequate for the demands of a sports simulation. The 32 ray tracing cores and 64 ROPs contribute to visual effects, though Undisputed is not a title that heavily relies on ray tracing. The pixel rate of 176.3 GPixel/s and texture rate of 352.6 GTexel/s provide a solid foundation for rendering the game's character models and arenas.

Interestingly, the GPU's benchmark percentile (60th) is notably lower than the CPU's (91st), and this disparity shows in the performance scaling. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 42, which is a 53% reduction from the 1080p Ultra figure of 92 FPS. This steep decline points to the GPU being the primary constraint at higher resolutions, as the CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads are unlikely to be saturated by the game's single-threaded or lightly threaded workloads.

# Resolution Scaling

Examining the measured FPS across resolutions reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 143 at 1080p to 103 at 1440p and further to 65 at 4K. This represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a 55% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The scaling is consistent with a system where the GPU is the limiting factor, as higher resolutions increase pixel count and memory bandwidth pressure.

The Low settings row shows similar behavior: 240 FPS at 1080p, 174 FPS at 1440p, and 110 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low figure is still highly playable, indicating that the RX 7600 XT can handle the game at reduced settings even at the highest resolution. The drop from 1080p to 1440p Low is 27.5%, and from 1080p to 4K Low is 54.2%, nearly identical to the High settings scaling.

Medium settings provide the only rows with min and max FPS data. At 1080p Medium, the average is 173 FPS, with a minimum of 147 and a maximum of 199. At 1440p Medium, the average is 125 FPS, with a minimum of 106 and a maximum of 144. At 4K Medium, the average is 79 FPS, with a minimum of 67 and a maximum of 91. The min-to-max spread of roughly 30% at each resolution suggests some frame time variance, but the minimums remain comfortably above playable thresholds.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest scaling curve. The average FPS drops from 92 at 1080p to 67 at 1440p and 42 at 4K. The 4K Ultra figure is the only average below 60 FPS in the entire dataset, indicating that this combination should avoid Ultra settings at 4K for a consistently smooth experience. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra is 54.3%, which is consistent with the other settings rows.

The data strongly suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor until very high frame rates are reached. At 1080p Low, the 240 FPS average is likely approaching the CPU's frame delivery limit, but at all other settings and resolutions, the GPU's workload dictates performance. This is a typical pattern for a mid-range GPU paired with a high-end CPU.

# CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, specifically the Raptor Lake-R refresh. It has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration and uses the Intel Socket 1700. Its cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is largely supportive, as the game is not heavily multithreaded. The benchmark scores reflect a processor that excels in both single-thread and multi-thread workloads. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35122 and single-core score of 4958 indicate strong per-core performance, which is relevant for a sports title that likely relies on a few primary threads for AI, physics, and game logic. The Geekbench scores of 19620 (multi-core) and 2429 (single-core) corroborate this.

The 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs means the i7-14700F outperforms the vast majority of processors in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon 6505P (53701, delta -0.2%) and the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (53288, delta 0.6%). The fact that the CPU is within 1% of these workstation and enthusiast-class chips suggests that it offers comparable processing power for gaming workloads.

At 1080p Low, where the GPU has the least work to do, the 240 FPS average may be hitting a CPU-imposed ceiling. The boost clock of 5.40 GHz provides high single-thread throughput, which is essential for maintaining high frame rates in less GPU-intensive scenarios. However, the data shows that at 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 173, and at 1080p High, it is 143, indicating that the GPU is still the primary driver of performance even at lower resolutions.

The CPU's 65 W TDP is modest for a 20-core part, and its unlocked multiplier is not available (multiplierUnlocked is false), meaning it runs at stock clocks. For Undisputed, this is more than sufficient, as the game's demands are well within the i7-14700F's capabilities. The processor's memory support for both DDR4 and DDR5 adds flexibility, though the measured FPS data does not differentiate between memory types.

# Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For a 60 FPS baseline, the combo can handle nearly any configuration except 4K Ultra. At 3840x2160, the High settings produce an average of 65 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold, while Medium averages 79 FPS. Ultra at 4K averages 42 FPS, which is below the threshold, so High or Medium is recommended for 4K displays.

At 2560x1440, all settings deliver averages above 60 FPS. The Ultra setting averages 67 FPS, which is playable but close to the threshold. High averages 103 FPS, Medium averages 125 FPS, and Low averages 174 FPS. For a smooth 1440p experience with good visual quality, High settings are the sweet spot, offering a 53% improvement over Ultra while maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, every setting exceeds 60 FPS by a wide margin. Even Ultra averages 92 FPS, while High averages 143 FPS and Medium averages 173 FPS. Low reaches 240 FPS, which is likely beyond the refresh rate of most monitors. For 1080p users, Ultra is viable, but High provides a 55% FPS increase with only a minor visual trade-off. Medium offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance if frame rate consistency is prioritized.

The Medium settings rows include min FPS data, which is useful for assessing frame time stability. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 147 FPS, at 1440p Medium it is 106 FPS, and at 4K Medium it is 67 FPS. These minimums indicate that the combo maintains acceptable frame pacing without severe drops, making Medium a reliable choice across all resolutions. For users who prioritize visual quality over raw FPS, High at 1080p or 1440p is recommended, while Medium is the safest choice for 4K.
