FAQ

Q: Can this system achieve a stable 60 FPS at 4K with maximum settings?

A: No. At 4K with Ultra settings, the average frame rate is 73 FPS. While this is above 60 FPS, the data does not include a minimum FPS for this setting, so a stable lock at 60 FPS is possible but not guaranteed if there are occasional dips. For a more comfortable margin, the High preset at 4K delivers an average of 113 FPS.

Q: How does the performance scale from 1080p to 1440p?

A: The scaling is extremely favorable. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 248 at 1920x1080 to 179 at 2560x1440, a 27.8% reduction. This is a typical scaling pattern, showing that the GPU is the primary driver of performance as resolution increases, but the CPU is still powerful enough to keep up with the demands of the higher frame rates at each step.

Q: What is the performance difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: The difference is substantial. The average frame rate at 1440p with Low settings is 301 FPS, while at Ultra it drops to 115 FPS. This represents a 61.8% reduction in average frame rate, highlighting that the Ultra preset is significantly more demanding and is best suited for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors, while the Low preset is for maximizing FPS.

Q: Is the RTX 4070 SUPER the limiting factor at 1080p?

A: Not in the traditional sense. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 417 FPS, a rate so high that it is likely reaching the limits of the CPU's ability to process frames. This indicates that at lower resolutions, the CPU becomes a more significant factor, though the i7-14700F is powerful enough to keep the experience exceptionally smooth.

Q: How does the combo rank compare to its individual component percentiles?

A: The combo's rank of 651 out of 3718 puts it in the 82.5th percentile for this game. The CPU and GPU individually rank in the 91st and 83rd percentiles against all other hardware, respectively. The combo's percentile is slightly lower than the CPU's but nearly matches the GPU's, suggesting that the GPU's performance is the more significant determinant of the in-game experience for this specific title.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for the Medium preset?

A: The data provides minimum FPS figures for the Medium preset at all three resolutions. At 1920x1080, the minimum is 255 FPS; at 2560x1440, it is 184 FPS; and at 3840x2160, it is 117 FPS. These figures show that even at the lowest recorded point, the game remains highly playable.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable pattern in how Undisputed scales with resolution. The system is so powerful that it produces extraordinarily high frame rates at 1080p, which then decrease proportionally as the resolution increases. This scaling provides insight into the balance between the CPU and GPU.

At 1080p with Low settings, the average frame rate is 417 FPS. This is an exceptionally high number, suggesting that the workload is light enough for the CPU to become the primary bottleneck, as the GPU can render frames faster than the processor can feed it draw calls. Moving to 1440p, the same Low preset yields 301 FPS, a 27.8% decrease. This is a significant drop, but the frame rate remains extremely high. At 4K, the Low preset produces 191 FPS, a further 36.5% decrease from 1440p. This pattern indicates that as the pixel count increases, the GPU's rendering load becomes the dominant factor, and the system transitions from a CPU-bound state at 1080p to a more GPU-bound state at 4K.

The scaling for higher presets follows a similar trajectory, though the frame rates are lower across the board. At High settings, the system achieves 248 FPS at 1080p, 179 FPS at 1440p, and 113 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 27.8%, and from 1440p to 4K is 36.9%. This shows that the relative cost of each resolution step is consistent regardless of the quality preset. The data suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER has enough bandwidth and compute power to handle the increased load, while the i7-14700F's strong single-core performance ensures that CPU-side frame generation does not become a limiting factor until the very high frame rates seen at 1080p.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, the High preset is the optimal choice for this hardware across all tested resolutions. The data shows that High setting at 4K provides an average of 113 FPS, which is far above the standard 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay and allows for a high refresh rate experience on capable displays. At 1440p, High delivers 179 FPS, which is ideal for 144Hz and 165Hz monitors, and at 1080p it hits 248 FPS, which can take advantage of the highest refresh rate panels available.

While the Ultra preset is available, the performance cost is steep. The average frame rate drops by 35.4% when moving from High to Ultra at 4K (from 113 to 73 FPS), and by a similar margin at other resolutions (from 179 to 115 FPS at 1440p and from 248 to 160 FPS at 1080p). Given that the visual improvements from High to Ultra are often marginal in fast-paced sports titles, the framerate sacrifice is not justified unless the user prioritizes absolute image quality over smoothness. In that case, Ultra at 1080p (160 FPS) or 1440p (115 FPS) is still a viable option.

For competitive play or for users with very high refresh rate monitors (240Hz or more), the Medium preset offers an excellent compromise. At 1080p, Medium yields an average of 300 FPS with a minimum of 255 FPS, ensuring that the frame rate never dips below the refresh rate of most gaming monitors. At 1440p, Medium produces 217 FPS, which is also well-suited for high-refresh-rate displays. The Low preset is only recommended for those seeking the absolute maximum frame rate, as it pushes the system to its limits but sacrifices visual quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The following is a detailed breakdown of the average, minimum, and maximum frame rates measured for each resolution and settings combination.

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its peak performance. With Low settings, the average FPS is 417. Moving to Medium, the average is 300 FPS, with a minimum of 255 and a maximum of 345 FPS. The High preset delivers an average of 248 FPS. The Ultra preset, while still impressive, brings the average down to 160 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain exceptionally high. The Low preset achieves an average of 301 FPS. The Medium preset averages 217 FPS, with a minimum of 184 and a maximum of 249 FPS. High settings produce an average of 179 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 115 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the system continues to provide playable, and in many cases, high-refresh-rate performance. The Low preset averages 191 FPS. The Medium preset averages 137 FPS, with a minimum of 117 and a maximum of 158 FPS. The High preset averages 113 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, bringing the average down to 73 FPS.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the Medium preset is the only one for which minimum and maximum FPS figures are provided, which helps to establish frame time consistency. For other presets, the average is the sole metric, but the high average values suggest a stable performance profile.

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. Its performance in synthetic benchmarks is excellent, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 35122 and a single-core score of 4958. These scores indicate a processor that is not only powerful for multi-threaded tasks but also has the high single-threaded performance that is critical for gaming.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and draw calls. The high boost clock of 5.40 GHz ensures that the main game thread can run as fast as possible, minimizing the time it takes to prepare frames for the GPU. The benchmark results suggest that this is not a bottleneck for the system. At 1080p with Low settings, the system achieves 417 FPS, a rate that likely approaches the CPU's maximum frame generation capability. The 20 cores and 28 threads are more than sufficient, and the performance relative to rivals like the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X (with a 0.6% lead) confirms that it is at the top of its class for gaming.

The processor's large 33 MB of shared L3 cache helps to keep frequently used data close at hand, reducing latency.

In Undisputed, the GPU is the primary determinant of performance at higher resolutions. The data shows that as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, the frame rates drop significantly, confirming that the GPU is being pushed harder. The 12 GB of VRAM is sufficient for the game's textures, even at 4K with Ultra settings, as the card is able to maintain playable frame rates. The memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s is also adequate, as evidenced by the relatively modest performance drop when moving from Medium to High settings.

The GPU's benchmark scores, such as the Passmark G3D score of 29995, place it in the 83rd percentile, and its closest rivals are other high-end cards. The performance delta of -1% against the RTX 4090 Mobile shows that it is not far behind a top-tier laptop GPU, making it a very capable desktop part. The card's ability to deliver 113 FPS at 4K High and 179 FPS at 1440p High demonstrates that it is well-matched to the i7-14700F, providing a balanced system where neither component is severely underutilized.
