GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the dominant component in this pairing. Its 16 GB of GDDR6X memory with 736.3 GB/s bandwidth provides ample headroom for Undisputed's texture-heavy boxing arenas and character models. The GPU's boost clock of 2550 MHz and base clock of 2295 MHz allow it to sustain high frame rates even when the action gets intense with multiple fighters and crowd animations on screen.

The GPU's 10240 shading units and 112 ROPs deliver the raw pixel throughput needed for the game's visual effects. With a pixel rate of 285.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 816.0 GTexel/s, the RTX 4080 SUPER handles the game's detailed ring environments and fighter sweat/particle effects without bottlenecking. The 80 RT cores and 320 tensor cores, while not heavily utilized in this non-ray-traced sports title, contribute to the GPU's overall compute versatility.

The measured FPS data shows the GPU's scaling behavior. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 478.6 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 82.2 FPS. This 5.8x performance spread across resolution and settings demonstrates the GPU's capability to push extremely high frame rates at lower loads, while still maintaining playable performance at maximum settings in 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 110th out of 1580 tested combos for Undisputed. This places the configuration in the top 7% of all systems tested, indicating strong overall performance for this title.

The CPU's 94th percentile ranking among all processors pairs well with the GPU's 88th percentile standing. This balanced pairing means neither component severely limits the other in most scenarios. The CPU's high single-thread score of 5003 in Cinebench R23 ensures it can feed the GPU efficiently, while the GPU's compute capabilities handle the rendering workload.

The nearest rival GPUs (RX 6900 XT, Pro W6600M, RX 7700S, RTX 5070 Ti) are all within 2.9% of the RTX 4080 SUPER's average benchmark score, yet this combo still achieves a top-110 finish. This suggests that the i7-14700F's strong multi-threaded performance (35443 in R23 multi-core) contributes meaningfully to the overall system ranking in Undisputed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data reveals consistent scaling across resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the combo delivers 478.6 FPS on Low, 340.9 FPS on Medium, 284.7 FPS on High, and 181.5 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that even at Ultra settings, the system operates far above the refresh rates of most monitors.

Moving to 1440p, performance remains exceptionally high: 343.7 FPS on Low, 247.3 FPS on Medium, 206.6 FPS on High, and 130.6 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p averages about 28% across settings, showing the GPU's bandwidth and compute scale well with resolution increases.

At 4K (3840x2160), the results become more demanding: 221.1 FPS on Low, 158.1 FPS on Medium, 130.6 FPS on High, and 82.2 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is the only setting/resolution combo below 100 FPS, but at 82.2 FPS it remains comfortably playable for a sports title.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU-bound nature of this title at higher resolutions. At Low settings, the drop from 478.6 FPS (1080p) to 221.1 FPS (4K) represents a 53.8% reduction. At Medium settings, the drop from 340.9 to 158.1 FPS is a 53.6% reduction. High settings show a similar pattern: 284.7 down to 130.6 FPS is a 54.1% reduction.

The consistent ~54% reduction across Low, Medium, and High settings indicates that the GPU's fill rate and bandwidth are the limiting factors when moving to 4K, not the CPU. The Ultra settings show a slightly different pattern: 181.5 FPS at 1080p drops to 82.2 FPS at 4K, a 54.7% reduction. This consistency suggests the scaling is purely resolution-driven rather than settings-driven.

The fact that 1080p Low delivers 478.6 FPS while 4K Low delivers 221.1 FPS demonstrates that the CPU can feed frames much faster than the GPU can render at 4K. The i7-14700F's 20 cores and 28 threads with a 5.40 GHz boost clock provide ample single-thread performance for game logic, while the RTX 4080 SUPER's 736.3 GB/s bandwidth becomes the constraint at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For 1440p displays, the Ultra preset at 130.6 FPS is the best choice. This resolution delivers the full visual experience while maintaining frame rates well above the 100 FPS threshold that competitive players prefer. The identical 130.6 FPS at 4K High shows that players can choose between 1440p Ultra and 4K High with no performance penalty.

For 4K displays, High settings at 130.6 FPS provide the best balance of visual fidelity and smoothness. The Ultra preset at 82.2 FPS is still playable but may cause noticeable frame pacing issues on high-refresh displays. The Medium preset at 158.1 FPS offers a significant smoothness boost if competitive play is prioritized over maximum visual quality.

The Low preset at 221.1 FPS in 4K is excessive for this genre, as sports games do not benefit from frame rates above 144 FPS (the refresh rate of most gaming monitors) to the same degree as fast-paced shooters. The Medium preset at 158.1 FPS is the practical ceiling for 4K play.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F provides the computational foundation for this combo. With 20 cores and 28 threads, it offers substantial multi-threading capability that helps maintain consistent frame pacing in Undisputed's crowd simulations and physics calculations. The CPU's 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB L2 per core reduce memory latency, which is critical for maintaining high average FPS in CPU-bound scenes.

The CPU's boost clock of 5.40 GHz and base clock of 2.10 GHz demonstrate a wide frequency range. In single-threaded workloads like Cinebench R23, it scores 5003, placing it in the top tier of gaming processors. The Geekbench single-core score of 2711 confirms this strength. For a sports game like Undisputed, where the primary thread often handles opponent AI and match logic, this single-thread performance is the key attribute.

The CPU's multi-threaded performance is equally impressive: 35443 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 16571 in Geekbench multi-core. The PassMark multi-thread score of 41765 shows strong scaling across the 20 cores. While Undisputed may not fully utilize all 20 cores, the headroom ensures the CPU never becomes a bottleneck even when background tasks compete for resources.

The 65 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 platform make this a practical pairing with the RTX 4080 SUPER, which has a 320 W TDP and requires a 700 W suggested PSU. The CPU's process node of 10 nm and die size of 257 mm² indicate efficient thermal performance under sustained gaming loads. The i7-14700F supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, allowing flexibility in system configuration without sacrificing gaming performance.
