Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER combination delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, with measured frame rates that place it in the upper echelon of tested hardware. The data shows a system capable of handling the game’s demands at every preset, though the balance between CPU and GPU roles becomes evident when analyzing resolution scaling.

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 built on the Raptor Lake architecture. It operates with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, providing substantial headroom for single-threaded tasks that sports titles often rely on for physics and AI updates. The processor’s cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache, which helps keep frequently accessed data close to the execution units.

In synthetic benchmarks, the i7-14700F scores 4958 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 35122 in multi-core, indicating balanced performance across both lightly and heavily threaded workloads. PassMark results reinforce this, with a single-thread score of 4257 and a multithread score of 41317. The processor’s percentile ranking of 91 among all CPUs places it well above the typical desktop chip, and its average benchmark score of 53620 sits within 0.8% of the AMD EPYC 7313P and 0.6% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, showing it trades blows with high-end server and desktop parts.

For Undisputed, the CPU’s role is less about raw core count and more about sustaining high frame pacing. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 442 FPS average, a figure that would likely strain many processors. The 5.40 GHz boost clock ensures that the game’s simulation logic does not become a bottleneck even when the GPU is producing frames at this rate. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 78 FPS, but this is more attributable to GPU load than CPU limitations, as the processor’s multi-core strength (20 cores) provides ample parallel processing for background tasks without interfering with the main game loop.

The data suggests that the i7-14700F is never the limiting factor in this pairing. Its Cinebench R20 single-core score of 2082 and Geekbench single-core score of 2429 indicate strong per-thread performance, which is crucial for a game like Undisputed where each frame’s logic must complete quickly. The processor’s TDP of 65 watts is modest for its performance class, but the benchmark results show no thermal throttling impacts, as frame rates remain consistently high across all tested configurations.

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

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm process from TSMC. Its AD103 chip contains 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, with 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2340 MHz and boosts to 2610 MHz, while the 16 GB of GDDR6X memory runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth.

This memory configuration is particularly relevant for Undisputed at high resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 78 suggests the GPU is heavily loaded, but the 16 GB VRAM capacity ensures there is no spillover into system memory, which would cause stuttering. The pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed to render the game’s boxers and arenas at 3840x2160 without compromise.

In PassMark G3D testing, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 31811, placing it in the 76th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA TITAN RTX, which it trails by 1.9%, and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell, which it trails by 1.4%. The GPU’s compute performance is also notable, with a PassMark GPU compute score of 18372, and its 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput ensures it can handle the game’s shading workloads efficiently.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s role becomes more pronounced as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the GPU produces 442 FPS, but the CPU is likely the primary driver at this setting due to lower graphical load. By 4K Low, the average drops to 202 FPS, indicating the GPU is now the limiting factor. At 4K Ultra, the 78 FPS average shows a 61% reduction from 4K Low, which points to the GPU’s texture and pixel processing being saturated by the Ultra preset’s demands. The GPU’s 66 RT cores and 264 tensor cores are not directly leveraged by Undisputed’s rendering, but they contribute to the card’s overall computational capacity.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 459 out of 3718 tested combinations places it in the 87.6th percentile, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of hardware pairings tested in Undisputed. This rank is consistent with the individual component performance: the CPU’s 91st percentile ranking and the GPU’s 76th percentile ranking combine to create a system that is well above average for this game.

The rank suggests that while both components are strong, the GPU is the more limiting factor in this pairing. The CPU’s percentile is 15 points higher than the GPU’s, indicating that the processor has more headroom relative to its peers than the graphics card does. This is reflected in the FPS data, where the gap between Low and Ultra settings grows disproportionately at higher resolutions, a classic sign of GPU-bound performance.

Compared to the nearest rival GPUs, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER’s 1.9% deficit to the TITAN RTX is minor, and its 0.4% deficit to the Quadro M5000 is negligible. The CPU’s 0.8% advantage over the EPYC 7313P shows that Intel’s desktop chip competes favorably with server-grade silicon in synthetic tests. Together, these components deliver a combo that sits comfortably in the top tier without reaching the absolute peak of performance, which would likely require a higher-end GPU or a more powerful CPU.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings levels (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), providing a comprehensive view of performance scaling.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers 442 FPS average on Low, 318 FPS on Medium (with a minimum of 271 FPS and maximum of 366 FPS), 263 FPS on High, and 170 FPS on Ultra. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a 61.5% reduction in average frame rate, with the largest single drop occurring between Medium and High (55 FPS, a 17.3% decrease).

At 2560x1440, the averages are 320 FPS on Low, 230 FPS on Medium (minimum 196, maximum 265), 190 FPS on High, and 123 FPS on Ultra. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 61.6%, nearly identical to the 1080p scaling. The Medium to High drop is 40 FPS (17.4%), similar to the pattern at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 202 FPS on Low, 146 FPS on Medium (minimum 124, maximum 167), 120 FPS on High, and 78 FPS on Ultra. The reduction from Low to Ultra is 61.4%, again consistent with the other resolutions. The Medium to High drop is 26 FPS (17.8%), maintaining the trend.

The consistency of these scaling percentages across resolutions suggests that the game’s settings have a multiplicative effect on performance rather than an additive one. Each step from Low to Medium to High to Ultra imposes a similar relative cost, regardless of the base resolution. The minimum FPS data, available only for Medium settings, shows that at 1080p the minimum is 271 FPS (85.2% of the average), at 1440p it is 196 FPS (85.2% of the average), and at 4K it is 124 FPS (84.9% of the average). This consistency indicates stable frame pacing with no unusual spikes.

Settings Recommendations

The data indicates that the Medium preset offers the best balance of performance and visual fidelity for this combo, particularly at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080, Medium produces 318 FPS average with a minimum of 271 FPS, which is more than sufficient for any display refresh rate currently available. At 2560x1440, Medium delivers 230 FPS average with a 196 FPS minimum, still well above the 144 Hz threshold that most high-refresh monitors use. Even at 3840x2160, Medium achieves 146 FPS average with a 124 FPS minimum, making it the only setting that maintains a 120+ FPS minimum at 4K.

High settings are also viable, with 263 FPS at 1080p, 190 FPS at 1440p, and 120 FPS at 4K. The 4K High result is marginal for 120 Hz displays, as the average sits exactly at the refresh threshold, but the lack of minimum FPS data suggests it may dip below. Ultra settings are playable but not ideal for competitive play, with 170 FPS at 1080p, 123 FPS at 1440p, and 78 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 78 FPS is below the 90 FPS that many players consider the floor for smooth gameplay.

For players prioritizing frame rate above all else, Low settings offer astronomical numbers (442 FPS at 1080p, 320 FPS at 1440p, 202 FPS at 4K), but these come at the cost of visual quality. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot: it offers a 38 FPS improvement over High at 1080p, a 40 FPS improvement at 1440p, and a 26 FPS improvement at 4K, while the visual difference between Medium and High is typically less noticeable in sports titles.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a clear pattern in how performance scales with resolution. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at each settings level, the average FPS drops by approximately 27-28%: from 442 to 320 (27.6% reduction) on Low, from 318 to 230 (27.7%) on Medium, from 263 to 190 (27.8%) on High, and from 170 to 123 (27.6%) on Ultra. This consistent reduction indicates that the GPU is handling the increased pixel count efficiently, with no unexpected bottlenecks.

Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the reductions are more pronounced: from 320 to 202 (36.9%) on Low, from 230 to 146 (36.5%) on Medium, from 190 to 120 (36.8%) on High, and from 123 to 78 (36.6%) on Ultra. The larger drop at 4K is expected, as the pixel count increases by 2.25x from 1440p, but the actual FPS reduction is less than the pixel increase would suggest, indicating that the GPU has sufficient memory bandwidth (672.3 GB/s) to mitigate the additional load.

The limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU’s role is more prominent, as evidenced by the 442 FPS Low result, which is likely near the processor’s maximum frame generation capability. At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck, with the 78 FPS Ultra result being 82.4% lower than the 442 FPS 1080p Low result. The middle ground of 1440p shows a balanced load, where both components contribute meaningfully to the final frame rate.

The data indicates that this combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and 4K, with the GPU’s 16 GB VRAM ensuring no memory-related stutters at any tested setting. The CPU’s 20 cores provide ample headroom for background processes, and the consistent frame pacing (as seen in the Medium setting minimums) suggests that neither component introduces significant frame time variance. For players targeting 4K, the Medium preset at 146 FPS average is the clear recommendation, while 1440p players can comfortably use High at 190 FPS or even Ultra at 123 FPS if visual fidelity is paramount.
