Undisputed

Undisputed is a demanding sports title, and the Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 delivers a performance profile that scales predictably with resolution and settings. The measured data shows this combination is capable of extremely high frame rates, but the optimal configuration depends heavily on whether the target is competitive play or visual fidelity. The dataset provides a clear hierarchy of performance across four presets and three resolutions, allowing for a definitive recommendation based on the game's engine behavior.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results indicate that the High preset offers the most balanced experience across all tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the High preset produces an average of 285 FPS, which is a substantial 101 FPS drop from the Low preset's 479 FPS but still far beyond the refresh rate of most monitors. The trade-off is worthwhile because the visual upgrade from Low to High is typically significant in a boxing sim, while the performance remains fluid. At 2560x1440, the High preset maintains an average of 206 FPS, which is still exceptionally high. Even at 3840x2160, the High preset holds an average of 130 FPS, ensuring a smooth experience on 4K displays without requiring the extreme performance cost of the Ultra preset.

The Ultra preset is the most demanding configuration tested, and the data shows it should be reserved for users with high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors or standard 60Hz 4K displays. At 2560x1440, Ultra averages 133 FPS, which is playable but represents a significant 35% reduction from the High preset's 206 FPS. At 3840x2160, Ultra drops to an 84 FPS average, which is below the 90 FPS target that many enthusiasts consider the minimum for fast-paced action. The jump from High to Ultra costs 76 FPS at 1080p (from 285 to 184) and 46 FPS at 1440p (from 206 to 133), indicating that the settings preset introduces a heavy load on the GPU's shading and rasterization pipelines. For most users, the High preset provides the best combination of visual quality and performance headroom.

The Medium preset is a viable alternative for those who want a slight performance boost over High without dropping to the visually barren Low preset. At 1080p, Medium averages 345 FPS, which is 60 FPS higher than High. At 1440p, Medium averages 249 FPS, a 43 FPS improvement over High. However, the data shows that the Low preset is strictly for competitive play or for users with very high-refresh-rate displays (240Hz or higher). At 1080p, Low produces 479 FPS, and at 1440p it produces 346 FPS, but these numbers come at the cost of reduced visual detail that may hinder depth perception and opponent visibility in a competitive setting. The recommendation is clear: High is the default choice, with Ultra reserved for 4K60 displays and Low only for esports-style play where maximum frame rate is the sole priority.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 is the dominant component in this pairing for Undisputed, as evidenced by the FPS scaling across resolutions. The GPU's architecture, based on the 5 nm process with 45,900 million transistors, provides the raw compute power necessary for the game's physics and rendering. The 9728 shading units and 304 texture mapping units operate at a base clock of 2205 MHz and a boost clock of 2505 MHz, which are the primary drivers of the frame rate differences between settings presets. The memory subsystem, featuring 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, delivers 716.8 GB/s of bandwidth, which is critical for handling the high-resolution textures and shadow maps that the Ultra preset likely enables.

The data shows that the GPU's performance ceiling is not reached until the Ultra preset is applied. From Low to High, the average FPS at 1080p drops from 479 to 285, a 40% reduction. From High to Ultra, it drops from 285 to 184, a further 35% reduction. This indicates that the Ultra preset includes effects that heavily tax the GPU's ray tracing cores (76 dedicated RT cores) and tensor cores (304), even if the game does not explicitly use ray tracing. The GPU's FP32 performance of 48.74 TFLOPS is the likely bottleneck when transitioning from High to Ultra, as the additional shading work for global illumination or ambient occlusion increases the per-pixel cost. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as the 84 FPS average on Ultra is well below the CPU's capability, which is demonstrated by the 219 FPS result on Low at the same resolution.

The RTX 4080's 86th percentile ranking among all GPUs, coupled with its average benchmark score of 54247, places it in the top tier of consumer hardware. Its nearest rival, the RTX 4080 SUPER, scores only 0.1% higher on average, confirming that this GPU is not leaving performance on the table in this title. The GPU's role is to provide the graphical headroom that allows the CPU to operate without constraint, and the measured data confirms that the RTX 4080 is the component that dictates the playable settings ceiling.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of the Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 ranks 246th out of 3718 combos. This places it in the top 6.6% of all tested systems, which is a strong showing for a mid-to-high-end desktop configuration. The rank is determined by the average FPS across all measured scenarios, and the data shows that this combo is not at the absolute top tier, which likely includes newer or more expensive GPUs like the RTX 4090 or the RTX 4080 SUPER.

The CPU's contribution to this rank is notable. The Core i7-14700F has an average benchmark score of 53620, placing it in the 91st percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, which scores 0.6% higher, and the AMD EPYC 7313P, which scores 0.8% higher. This indicates that the CPU is delivering performance that is competitive with flagship consumer and workstation chips from the same generation. The 20 cores and 28 threads, with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, provide ample processing power for the game's AI and physics simulations, which are not typically the bottleneck in a sports title like Undisputed.

Compared to other combos in the database, this rank suggests that the system is well-balanced but not optimized for absolute maximum frame rates. The gap between this combo and the top performers is likely due to the GPU, as the RTX 4080 is not the fastest GPU available. However, the rank of 246 out of 3718 is a solid result that confirms the combo can handle the game at high settings without compromise. The data shows that the combo's performance is consistent with its component rankings: the CPU is in the top 9% of all processors, and the GPU is in the top 14% of all graphics cards, resulting in a combined rank that is slightly better than the average of the two individual percentiles.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data reveals a consistent scaling pattern as resolution increases, which provides insight into the system's bottleneck. From 1920x1080 to 2560x1440, the average FPS on High settings drops from 285 to 206, a 27.7% reduction. From 2560x1440 to 3840x2160, the average FPS drops from 206 to 130, a 36.9% reduction. This pattern is expected because the number of pixels increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p, and by another 125% from 1440p to 4K. The fact that the FPS does not drop by the same percentage as the pixel count indicates that the GPU is not fully utilized at lower resolutions, and that the CPU is capable of maintaining high frame rates even at 4K.

On Ultra settings, the scaling is more pronounced. At 1080p, Ultra averages 184 FPS; at 1440p, it drops to 133 FPS (a 27.7% reduction); and at 4K, it drops to 84 FPS (a 36.8% reduction). The similarity in percentage drops between High and Ultra suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor in both cases, and that the Ultra preset does not introduce a CPU-side bottleneck. The Low preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with 479 FPS at 1080p, 346 FPS at 1440p (a 27.8% reduction), and 219 FPS at 4K (a 36.7% reduction). This consistency across all settings presets strongly indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting component at all resolutions in Undisputed.

The data shows that the CPU is not a bottleneck even at 1080p Low, where the 479 FPS average is likely near the engine's maximum frame rate. The fact that the FPS scales linearly with resolution, regardless of settings, means that the RTX 4080 is the component that determines the playable resolution. For users with a 240Hz monitor, the Low preset at 1080p is the only configuration that can fully utilize the display's refresh rate. For 144Hz monitors, the High preset at 1440p or the Ultra preset at 1080p are viable options. The scaling behavior confirms that this combo is GPU-bound in all tested scenarios.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its highest frame rates across all presets. The Low preset averages 479 FPS, which is the highest recorded value in the entire dataset. The Medium preset averages 345 FPS, with a minimum of 293 FPS and a maximum of 396 FPS, indicating a stable frame time distribution. The High preset averages 285 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 184 FPS. The spread between Low and Ultra is 295 FPS, which shows the significant impact of the settings preset on the GPU load at this resolution.
