Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700F and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX pairing delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, consistently producing triple-digit frame rates even at demanding 4K resolutions. This combination of a 20-core, 28-thread processor with a 24 GB flagship GPU creates a system that handles the boxing sim with significant headroom, though the data reveals interesting bottlenecks at lower resolutions and clear scaling limits as settings escalate.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i7-14700F brings substantial processing power to this pairing. With 20 cores and 28 threads, it features a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. This Raptor Lake Refresh part, built on a 10 nm process, sits in the 94th percentile against all CPUs, indicating it is among the top processors for general workloads. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 35443 and single-core score of 5003 demonstrate a balanced approach, offering both high multi-threaded throughput for streaming or background tasks and strong single-thread performance for game logic.

For a game like Undisputed, the CPU’s role in the measured results is most apparent when comparing frame rates across resolutions. At 1080p with Low settings, the system produces 436.7 FPS, which is an extreme number. However, the jump from 1080p to 1440p at the same Low settings shows a drop to 313.2 FPS — a 28% reduction. This suggests that even at 1080p, the GPU is still capable of outrunning the CPU’s ability to feed it frames in certain scenarios. The i7-14700F’s nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, which scores 0.6% higher on average, and the Intel Xeon Phi 7290, which scores 1.2% lower. These deltas are small, indicating the CPU is well-positioned against its direct competition.

In the context of this game, the CPU does not appear to be the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the system drops to 75.6 FPS, but this is a GPU-bound scenario where the processor’s 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 28 threads are more than sufficient to keep the Radeon RX 7900 XTX fed. The CPU’s 65 W TDP is notably low for a 20-core part, but this is a power specification rather than a performance metric, and the benchmark data confirms no thermal throttling penalties are showing up in the results.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX is the dominant component in this pairing, and the measured FPS reflects its capabilities. Built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 31 chip on a 5 nm process, this GPU features 24 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering 960.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its boost clock of 2498 MHz and game clock of 2365 MHz are complemented by 6144 shading units. The GPU sits in the 85th percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44019.

The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 580, which scores 0.4% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which scores 2% lower. The RTX 4090 Mobile scores 0.8% higher, but this is a mobile part, so the desktop RX 7900 XTX maintains a clear performance tier advantage. With 192 ROPs and a pixel rate of 479.6 GPixel/s, the GPU is engineered for high-resolution rendering, and the data confirms this.

At 4K High settings, the system produces 121.6 FPS, which is excellent for a 4K sports title. The transition from High to Ultra at 4K shows a dramatic cost: 121.6 FPS drops to 75.6 FPS, a 38% penalty. This indicates that the Ultra preset imposes a heavy load, likely through enhanced shadows, reflections, or particle effects. The 24 GB VRAM is not a constraint at any resolution tested, since even the most demanding settings do not appear to cause stuttering or memory-related frame drops. The GPU’s 355 W TDP and 750 W suggested PSU are relevant for builder planning, but the benchmark data shows no evidence of power-related performance issues.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured FPS rows provide a clear picture of the settings landscape. At 4K, the options are High (121.6 FPS), Medium (142.5 FPS), and Ultra (75.6 FPS). For a competitive or fast-paced sports game, frame rate consistency matters, and the Ultra preset’s 75.6 FPS is still playable but leaves little headroom for drops. High at 4K offers 121.6 FPS, which is a better balance, while Medium at 142.5 FPS provides even more margin.

At 1440p, the choices are more forgiving. High delivers 187.5 FPS, Medium hits 226.7 FPS, and Ultra remains at 118.9 FPS. The sweet spot here is High or Medium, as both offer well over 144 FPS for high-refresh monitors. At 1080p, even Ultra produces 163.4 FPS, while High reaches 256.3 FPS and Low hits 436.7 FPS. The data suggests that for most users, High settings provide the best experience across all resolutions, as it maintains high frame rates without the extreme performance cost of Ultra. If a user prioritizes maximum visual fidelity and has a 144 Hz monitor, 1440p Ultra at 118.9 FPS is a reasonable choice, but High is the recommended preset for consistent performance.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the Intel Core i7-14700F and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX ranks 250 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 16% of all tested systems, which is a strong showing given the game’s relatively low graphical demands compared to AAA shooters. The rank reflects that many combos with more powerful GPUs or newer CPUs may edge ahead, but this pairing is clearly in the upper echelon.

The rank is influenced by the GPU’s performance at 4K, where the RX 7900 XTX excels, and the CPU’s ability to maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions. The 250th position out of 1580 means there are 249 combos that perform better, but these likely include configurations with multiple GPUs or higher-end parts like the RTX 4090. For a single-GPU setup with a mainstream high-end processor, this rank is impressive and indicates the combo can handle Undisputed with ease at any resolution tested.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling data reveals a classic pattern of GPU-bound behavior. At Low settings, the FPS drops from 436.7 at 1080p to 313.2 at 1440p (a 28% drop) and then to 198.6 at 4K (a 55% drop from 1080p). This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor, as the CPU has ample headroom to handle the increased pixel count. The RX 7900 XTX’s 960.0 GB/s bandwidth is being utilized heavily at 4K, but the frame rates remain high.

At High settings, the scaling is slightly different: 256.3 FPS at 1080p, 187.5 FPS at 1440p (27% drop), and 121.6 FPS at 4K (53% drop from 1080p). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings suggests the GPU is scaling predictably with resolution, and there is no sudden CPU bottleneck appearing at lower resolutions. At Ultra, the pattern holds: 163.4 FPS at 1080p, 118.9 FPS at 1440p (27% drop), and 75.6 FPS at 4K (54% drop). The uniform scaling across all presets reinforces that the GPU is the limiting component, which is expected given the CPU’s high percentile ranking.

The data also shows that the CPU is not holding back the GPU at any resolution. At 1080p Low, 436.7 FPS reflects the i7-14700F’s single-thread performance, but even if a faster CPU were paired with this GPU, the frame rates would likely not increase much because the GPU is already near its peak output. For users targeting 4K, the 75.6 FPS at Ultra is the only scenario where the system dips below the 100 FPS threshold, but High at 121.6 FPS is the recommended path for smooth 4K play.
