Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 9060 ranks in the 1633rd position out of 2813 tested combinations for Undisputed, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database. This ranking reflects a configuration that delivers playable performance at high refresh rates for the game, but it is far from the top of the leaderboard, indicating that while the combo is competent, it does not dominate the competition in this specific title. The GPU’s average benchmark score sits at 16014, placing it in the 59th percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU’s average score of 53620 puts it in the 91st percentile, showing a clear disparity in component strength that influences the frame rates seen in the game.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1633 out of 2813 tested combinations places it squarely in the middle of the pack, suggesting that many other hardware pairings can achieve higher frame rates in Undisputed. This is not a top-tier setup for this sports title, but the ranking is not a failure either; it indicates a balanced, mid-range performer. The CPU is the stronger component in this pairing, as its 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs far exceeds the GPU’s 59th percentile standing. This suggests that the processor has headroom to spare, while the graphics card is more likely to be the limiting factor in achieving higher scores.

When examining the GPU’s nearest rivals, the data shows a tight cluster of performance. The AMD Radeon RX 9060’s average benchmark score of 16014 is only 0.7% lower than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti’s score of 16129. It is also 1% higher than both the AMD Radeon R9 370X and the AMD Radeon RX 7700, and 2.1% higher than the AMD Radeon Pro W5500. These small deltas indicate that in synthetic benchmarks, the RX 9060 is essentially on par with these cards, making the ranking in Undisputed more dependent on game-specific optimizations than raw compute power. For the CPU, the Core i7-14700F is nearly identical in average score to its closest rivals, with a delta of -0.2% against the Intel Xeon 6505P and +0.3% against the Intel Xeon Phi 7290, showing that its processing power is well within the expected range for its class.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 9060 is built on the RDNA 4.0 architecture with the Navi 44 chip, manufactured on a 4 nm process by TSMC. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a key factor in Undisputed, as the game’s demands at higher resolutions and settings can be sensitive to VRAM capacity and bandwidth. The GPU’s base clock is 1700 MHz, with a boost clock of 2990 MHz and a game clock of 2400 MHz, which allows for solid performance in most scenarios. With 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 raster operation units, the card is capable of handling the graphical load of a sports title like this one.

In terms of raw throughput, the RX 9060 delivers 21.43 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a texture rate of 334.9 GTexel/s. These specifications translate into the frame rates observed in the measured data. The GPU’s average benchmark score of 16014 places it in the 59th percentile, and its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, is just 0.7% faster on average. This close margin suggests that the RX 9060 should perform similarly to that card in Undisputed, and indeed the measured FPS figures support a mid-range performance level. The 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming in this title, but at 4K Ultra settings, the data shows a significant drop to 44 FPS, indicating that the memory capacity or bandwidth may be a limiting factor at the highest demands.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, highlighting the role of the GPU as the primary bottleneck in this configuration. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 252 FPS, which drops to 182 FPS at 1440p and further to 115 FPS at 4K. This represents a 54% reduction in frame rate from 1080p to 4K, a substantial drop that is typical for a mid-range GPU like the RX 9060. The scaling is less severe at higher settings; for example, at High settings, the average FPS goes from 150 at 1080p to 108 at 1440p, and finally to 69 at 4K, a 54% decrease as well.

This consistent percentage drop across settings indicates that the GPU is the limiting component, as the CPU’s performance headroom (91st percentile) is not being fully utilized. At 1080p Low, the frame rate of 252 FPS is likely near the CPU’s maximum output for this game, but as resolution increases, the GPU’s workload grows, and the frame rates fall accordingly. The data suggests that the sweet spot for this combo is at 1440p, where High settings yield a playable 108 FPS, and even Ultra settings maintain a respectable 70 FPS. At 4K, the performance becomes marginal, with only Low settings achieving over 100 FPS, while Ultra drops to a barely playable 44 FPS, confirming that the RX 9060 is not suited for 4K Ultra gaming in Undisputed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo exhibits a wide range of performance depending on settings. With Low settings, the average FPS is 252, providing an extremely fluid experience. Medium settings reduce this to 181 FPS, with a minimum of 154 and a maximum of 208 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay. High settings yield 150 FPS, still well above the threshold for competitive play. Ultra settings bring the average down to 97 FPS, which remains playable but shows the impact of higher graphical fidelity. The data indicates that at 1080p, this combo can handle any settings with ease, making it ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down as expected. Low settings deliver an average of 182 FPS, which is still very high. Medium settings produce 131 FPS, with a minimum of 111 and a maximum of 151 FPS, providing a stable experience. High settings drop to 108 FPS, which is adequate for most players. Ultra settings, however, reduce the average to 70 FPS, which is playable but may not be smooth enough for those seeking the highest frame rates. At this resolution, the combo remains capable for High settings, but Ultra settings start to show the GPU’s limitations.

At 3840x2160, the performance takes a significant hit, reinforcing the GPU-bound nature of this combo. Low settings yield 115 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K, but Medium settings drop to 83 FPS, with a minimum of 70 and a maximum of 95 FPS. High settings bring the average down to 69 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings plummet to 44 FPS, which is not recommended for a satisfying experience. The data clearly shows that 4K gaming is only viable at Low or Medium settings for this combination, and even then, the frame rates are not consistently high.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. It features a substantial 33 MB of shared L3 cache, which helps in gaming scenarios by reducing memory latency. The CPU’s performance is strong, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35122 and single-core score of 4958, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. This indicates that the processor has ample computational power for Undisputed, which is a sports title that may not be heavily threaded but benefits from high single-core performance.

In the context of this combo, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with data efficiently, and the data shows it does so without becoming a bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the frame rate of 252 FPS is likely near the CPU’s limit, but at higher resolutions, the GPU takes over as the limiting factor. The CPU’s nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X with an average score of 53288, are within 0.6% of the i7-14700F, confirming that this processor is competitively positioned. The 65 W TDP and support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory make it a versatile choice, but for this specific game, the CPU’s high boost clock and core count ensure that it will not hinder performance, allowing the RX 9060 to be the primary determinant of frame rates.
