Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700F and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a highly consistent performance profile in Undisputed, with the data revealing a system that is clearly GPU-bound at higher resolutions but capable of very high frame rates at 1080p. The measured results show that this pairing is positioned well within the mid-range tier of the database, offering a balanced experience that scales predictably with settings and resolution.

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

The Intel Core i7-14700F is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake-R architecture, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. This is a high-core-count desktop part, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 53620. Its nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the Intel Xeon 6505P (deltaPct -0.2), Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (deltaPct 0.3), AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (deltaPct 0.6), and AMD EPYC 7313P (deltaPct 0.8). These margins are extremely tight, indicating that the i7-14700F sits at the very top of its performance class, essentially matching or slightly exceeding those alternatives.

In the context of Undisputed, a sports game that relies on physics calculations for fighter interactions and AI logic, the CPU's multi-threaded capacity is relevant. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35122 and Geekbench multi-core score of 19620 suggest substantial headroom for game logic. However, the measured FPS data shows that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in most scenarios. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 195 FPS on average, which is a very high frame rate that still leaves room for the GPU to be the limiting factor. The single-core performance, evident from the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4958 and Passmark single-thread score of 4257, is also strong, ensuring that the game's main thread is well-served. The 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample fast storage for frequently accessed data. The processor supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, though the specific memory configuration used in the measured tests is not specified, the dual-channel bus is standard. Given the FPS figures, the CPU's 20 cores clearly prevent any significant frame pacing issues, as the FPS drops are consistently tied to resolution and settings increases, not to sudden CPU stalls.

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

The Intel Arc B570 is the graphics card in this pairing, built on the Xe2-HPG architecture (Battlemage generation) using TSMC's 5 nm process. It features 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. The GPU operates at a fixed clock speed of 2500 MHz for both base and boost, with memory running at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). It has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation units, along with 18 ray tracing cores. The card's FP32 performance is 11.52 TFLOPS, and it holds a 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (deltaPct 0.1), Intel Arc A750 (deltaPct -0.1), NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (deltaPct 0.4), and AMD Radeon R9 M390X (deltaPct -0.5). This places the B570 in a competitive spot, essentially trading blows with the RTX 3070 Mobile and slightly ahead of the Arc A750 in average score.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. The 10 GB VRAM is sufficient for the game at all tested settings, as no memory-related stutters are evident from the FPS data. The card's raw throughput is the key differentiator. At 1080p Low, the GPU pushes 195 FPS, but this drops to 116 FPS at High settings and 75 FPS at Ultra. This scaling indicates that the GPU is heavily engaged even at lower resolutions, and the jump to 1440p and 4K further stresses it. The 380.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for the game's textures, but the pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s become limiting factors at higher detail levels. The Arc B570's performance in DirectX 12 (Passmark score of 72) and Vulkan (Geekbench score of 96844) is notable, as Undisputed likely leverages these APIs, and the measured results show no instability. The 150 W TDP and 450 W suggested PSU indicate a power-efficient card that does not require exotic cooling, but the focus remains on its ability to maintain frame rates, which it does admirably until Ultra settings at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

In the specific context of Undisputed, this CPU-GPU combination ranks 2986 out of 3718 tested combos in the database. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the ranking, which is surprising given the individual component strengths. The CPU is in the 91st percentile, and the GPU is in the 65th percentile, yet the combo's rank suggests that many other pairings with faster GPUs or more balanced configurations outperform it in this particular game. This is a key insight: Undisputed appears to be more sensitive to GPU performance than CPU performance, and the Arc B570, while capable, is not a high-end card. The rank of 2986 out of 3718 means that roughly 80% of tested combos achieve higher average FPS in this game.

This does not mean the combo is weak; rather, it reflects the competitive field. For instance, a combo with a similar CPU but a stronger GPU would rank higher, as the game's frame rates are largely dictated by the graphics card. The data shows that at 1080p High, the combo delivers 116 FPS, which is solid, but many combos with higher-end GPUs will exceed this. The ranking also indicates that the i7-14700F's massive core count is underutilized in this title, as the game likely uses only a few threads effectively. The deltaPct values against the CPU's rivals (e.g., -0.2% vs. Xeon 6505P) are irrelevant here, as the ranking is based on the combined performance in Undisputed, not synthetic benchmarks. The takeaway is that this combo is a competent mid-range performer, but it is not optimized for top-tier frame rates in this specific game, likely due to the GPU's position relative to the field.

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

The resolution scaling data reveals a clear pattern of GPU-bound performance. At Low settings, the average FPS progresses from 195 at 1080p, to 141 at 1440p, and 89 at 4K. This represents a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 54% drop from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the progression is 116 FPS at 1080p, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 53 FPS at 4K, with drops of 28% and 54% respectively. This consistency in percentage drops across settings indicates that the scaling is purely resolution-driven, which is a hallmark of a GPU-limited scenario. The CPU's performance is not changing with resolution, so the FPS decline is directly attributable to the Arc B570's rendering load.

At Medium settings, the FPS drops from 141 at 1080p to 102 at 1440p (a 28% drop) and then to 64 at 4K (a 55% drop from 1080p). The Ultra settings show a similar trend: 75 FPS at 1080p, 54 FPS at 1440p (28% drop), and 34 FPS at 4K (55% drop). The fact that the relative drops are nearly identical across all settings underscores that the limiting component is the GPU. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the FPS to remain more constant at lower resolutions, as the CPU's frame generation limit would be reached. Instead, the FPS scales almost linearly with pixel count, confirming that the Arc B570's fill rate and shading power are the constraints. The data suggests that at 1080p, the GPU is still stretched at higher settings, but at 4K, it is overwhelmed, particularly at Ultra where the 34 FPS average is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. This analysis is crucial for understanding that upgrading the GPU would yield immediate FPS gains across all resolutions, while the CPU has ample headroom.

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

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, the Medium preset offers an excellent balance, achieving 141 FPS on average with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS. This is a very playable and smooth experience, with the minimum FPS still above 60. The High preset at 1080p delivers 116 FPS, which is also good, but Medium provides a higher average with a tighter FPS range, suggesting more consistent frame pacing. Low at 1080p hits 195 FPS, but this is likely unnecessary for most displays, and the visual quality reduction may not be worth the extra frames. Ultra at 1080p drops to 75 FPS, which is playable but not as fluid as Medium or High.

At 1440p, the Medium preset is again the sweet spot, with 102 FPS on average and a range of 86 to 117 FPS. This keeps the experience above 60 FPS at all times, making it the recommended choice for this resolution. High at 1440p yields 84 FPS, which is still acceptable but with less headroom. Low at 1440p offers 141 FPS, but the visual compromise is significant. Ultra at 1440p drops to 54 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay and is not recommended. At 4K, the data shows that Medium is the highest playable setting, with 64 FPS on average and a minimum of 55 FPS. High at 4K drops to 53 FPS, which is marginal, and Ultra falls to 34 FPS, which is not suitable for a responsive sports game. Low at 4K hits 89 FPS, but the visual quality is poor. Therefore, for the best experience, Medium settings are recommended for all resolutions, as it consistently provides the highest FPS while maintaining a minimum above 55 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay in Undisputed.
