Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700F and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT combination lands in the 698th spot out of 1580 tested combos for Undisputed. That places it just below the midpoint of the database, which is a respectable showing for a pairing that leans heavily on the graphics card for this particular title. The combo’s position reflects a system that can handle high-refresh 1080p gaming and solid 1440p play, but it starts to show its limits when pushed to 4K with the heaviest settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The 698th rank out of 1580 combos puts this system in the 44th percentile of all tested pairings for Undisputed. That is not a top-tier result, but it is far from a weak one. The data indicates the bottleneck shifts depending on resolution and settings, and the overall rank reflects the average across all measured scenarios. The CPU is the stronger component in this pairing, sitting at the 94th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU ranks at the 73rd percentile against all GPUs. That gap suggests the graphics card is the limiting factor in most situations, which is typical for a sports title that does not heavily tax the processor.

When looking at the CPU’s synthetic performance, the Core i7-14700F scores 35443 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 5003 in single-core. Its nearest rivals in the CPU database are the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X at 54450 average score (0.6% ahead) and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D at 54681 (1.1% ahead). The Intel chip trails those by a hair, but it beats the Intel Xeon Phi 7290 by 1.2% and the AMD EPYC 7313P by 1.7%. For gaming, the single-core strength matters more, and the 5003 R23 single-core score is strong enough to avoid holding back the RX 7700 XT in Undisputed.

The GPU side shows the RX 7700 XT with an average benchmark score of 30097, placing it at the 73rd percentile. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 with a score of 30109, which is a 0% delta — essentially a dead heat. The AMD card also edges out the Radeon RX 570 by 0.2% and beats the NVIDIA Tesla M60 by 0.4%, while trailing the RTX 5070 Mobile by just 0.6%. In practical terms, this GPU is well-matched with the CPU for this game, and the combo rank is more a reflection of the GPU’s mid-pack position than any CPU deficiency.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Undisputed at 4K smoothly?

A: Yes, but only at lower settings. The data shows 86.2 FPS at 4K High and 143.8 FPS at 4K Low. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 56.1 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a competitive sports title.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in this system?

A: The GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU sits at the 94th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU is at the 73rd percentile. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 314 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed the GPU well beyond what most monitors can display.

Q: How does this combo compare to the RTX 5060?

A: The RX 7700 XT and RTX 5060 are essentially tied in average benchmark scores, with a 0% delta. Expect nearly identical performance in Undisputed, though the AMD card has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 432.0 GB/s bandwidth.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo?

A: 1440p is the sweet spot. At 1440p High, it delivers 133.5 FPS, and at 1440p Medium it hits 162.9 FPS. Both are well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play, and the 4K numbers are workable but less consistent.

Q: How many cores does the CPU have, and does it matter here?

A: The Core i7-14700F has 20 cores and 28 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. For Undisputed, which is not heavily multithreaded, the single-core boost performance is what keeps frame rates high, and the data shows no CPU-related dips even at 1080p Low.

Q: What is the launch MSRP of the GPU?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT had a launch MSRP of 449 USD. The CPU had a launch MSRP of $359.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound scaling. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 314 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 225.6 FPS, a 28% reduction. At 4K Low, the frame rate falls to 143.8 FPS, another 36% drop from 1440p. This steep scaling curve is typical for a GPU that is being pushed harder at each step, and it confirms the RX 7700 XT is the component doing the heavy lifting.

The scaling becomes more pronounced at higher settings. At 1080p Ultra, the system produces 121.3 FPS. At 1440p Ultra, it drops to 86 FPS, a 29% reduction. At 4K Ultra, it falls to 56.1 FPS, which is a 35% drop from 1440p. The consistent percentage drops across settings indicate the GPU is the primary limiter; if the CPU were the bottleneck, the frame rate would stay relatively flat as resolution increases, which is not the case here.

The data also suggests that the CPU has headroom to spare. At 1080p Low, the 314 FPS figure is likely near the game engine’s limit or the GPU’s maximum output at that setting. The fact that 4K Low still delivers 143.8 FPS — a number many systems cannot reach at any resolution — underscores that the i7-14700F is feeding the GPU efficiently. For players targeting high refresh rates, 1080p and 1440p are where this combo shines; 4K is usable but requires dropping to Low or Medium settings to stay above 100 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to Medium as the best overall preset for this combo. At 1440p Medium, the system delivers 162.9 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate that many monitors support. At 1080p Medium, it hits 225.7 FPS, leaving plenty of overhead for streaming or recording. The jump from Medium to High at 1440p costs about 29 FPS (from 162.9 to 133.5), and while High is still smooth, Medium offers a better balance of visual quality and performance.

For 4K users, Low is the only setting that provides a consistently high frame rate. At 4K Low, the combo hits 143.8 FPS, which is excellent for a 4K panel with a 120 Hz or 144 Hz refresh rate. 4K Medium drops to 102.4 FPS, which is still playable but starts to feel less responsive. 4K High at 86.2 FPS is acceptable for casual play, but 4K Ultra at 56.1 FPS is not recommended for a sports game where smooth motion matters.

At 1080p, the choice is less critical because every setting exceeds 120 FPS. Low delivers 314 FPS, Medium 225.7 FPS, High 186.1 FPS, and Ultra 121.3 FPS. If you own a 240 Hz monitor, Medium or High is the sensible pick; Ultra is the option for maximum visual fidelity, but the frame rate drop is noticeable. The data strongly suggests that Medium is the default recommendation for most players, with High as a viable alternative at 1080p and 1440p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce 314 FPS on average, which is the highest figure in the entire dataset. Medium drops to 225.7 FPS, High to 186.1 FPS, and Ultra to 121.3 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 192.7 FPS, showing how much headroom the GPU has at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the numbers remain robust. Low settings hit 225.6 FPS, Medium 162.9 FPS, High 133.5 FPS, and Ultra 86 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 62.7 FPS, and from Medium to High is 29.4 FPS. Ultra is the only setting at 1440p that falls below the 100 FPS mark, which is a notable threshold for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the GPU starts to struggle with higher presets. Low settings still manage 143.8 FPS, which is impressive for 4K. Medium comes in at 102.4 FPS, High at 86.2 FPS, and Ultra at 56.1 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 87.7 FPS, and the Ultra number is the only one in the entire dataset that dips below 60 FPS. This makes 4K Ultra the only unplayable configuration in this test matrix.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on Raptor Lake architecture, built on Intel’s 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with 33 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration, and its 65 W TDP makes it a relatively power-efficient choice for a desktop chip. It is not multiplier-unlocked, so overclocking is off the table, but the stock boost clock is high enough for gaming.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics data, and the benchmark results show it does this without bottlenecking. At 1080p Low, the 314 FPS figure is likely near the game’s engine cap or the GPU’s maximum output, and the fact that frame rates scale smoothly with resolution confirms the CPU is not the limiting factor. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35443 and single-core score of 5003 indicate a processor that is strong in both threaded and single-threaded workloads, which is exactly what a sports game like this needs.

The CPU’s 94th percentile ranking against all CPUs puts it ahead of most desktop processors, and its nearest rivals in the database are all within 1.7% of its average score. The Ryzen 9 9900X and 9900X3D are slightly faster, but the margin is negligible for gaming. The i7-14700F’s high boost clock of 5.40 GHz is what drives the single-core performance that Undisputed relies on, and the data shows no scenario where the CPU causes frame rate dips. For this title, the processor is a non-issue — the GPU determines the experience, and the combo’s 698th rank is a direct reflection of the RX 7700 XT’s mid-pack standing rather than any CPU weakness.
