# Undisputed with Intel Core i7-14700F + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060

The Intel Core i7-14700F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 produces a performance profile in Undisputed that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics preset, with the data showing a system capable of high refresh rates at 1440p and 1080p, but one that becomes GPU-limited at 4K Ultra. The measured frame rates across twelve configurations reveal a combination that ranks in the 1641st position out of 3718 tested combos, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. This analysis breaks down the scaling behavior, component roles, and optimal settings based exclusively on the measured data.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate drop from 1080p to 4K is substantial and consistent across all settings, indicating a clear shift in the limiting component as pixel count increases. At High settings, the average FPS falls from 172 at 1920x1080 to 125 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 47 FPS, and then further down to 79 at 3840x2160. This represents a 54% decrease from 1080p to 4K, which is a significant scaling penalty that points to the GPU becoming the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions.

The pattern holds across other presets, though the absolute drops vary. At Low settings, the system delivers 290 FPS at 1080p, drops to 209 FPS at 1440p, and settles at 132 FPS at 4K. The 4K figure is still playable, but the 158 FPS gap between 1080p and 4K Low demonstrates how much headroom exists at lower resolutions. At Medium settings, the averages are 208 FPS at 1080p, 151 FPS at 1440p, and 95 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with 111 FPS at 1080p, 80 FPS at 1440p, and only 51 FPS at 4K.

The resolution scaling behavior suggests that at 1080p and 1440p, the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU, but at 4K, the rendering load overwhelms the RTX 5060's capabilities. The fact that the 1080p to 1440p drop is proportionally smaller than the 1440p to 4K drop reinforces this interpretation. For example, at High settings, the 1080p to 1440p drop is 47 FPS (27%), while the 1440p to 4K drop is 46 FPS (37%). The increasing percentage loss as resolution climbs is a classic sign of GPU-bound operation at the higher pixel counts.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 serves as the primary rendering engine in this configuration, and its specifications directly explain the observed frame rate ceilings. The GPU features 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The base clock is 2280 MHz with a boost clock of 2497 MHz, and the shader array consists of 3840 shading units paired with 120 texture mapping units and 48 raster output pipelines.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for Undisputed at the tested resolutions, but the 128-bit memory bus and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops to 51. The GPU's compute capabilities, measured at 19.18 TFLOPS FP32, are adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming, as evidenced by the high frame rates at those resolutions, but the 4K Ultra result shows the architectural limits of this mid-range part.

The RTX 5060's performance percentile of 72 among all GPUs places it above the median, and its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon 860M (avgScore 26401, deltaPct -0.3), the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 (avgScore 26421, deltaPct -0.3), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (avgScore 26553, deltaPct -0.8). The deltaPct values indicate that the RTX 5060's average benchmark score of 26331 is within 1% of these competitors, suggesting similar overall GPU capabilities despite architectural differences.

The measured FPS data shows that the GPU can handle 4K at Low settings with 132 FPS, which indicates that the hardware is not strictly limited by pixel throughput, but rather by the combined load of higher resolutions and more demanding settings. The 4K Ultra result of 51 FPS, compared to 79 FPS at 4K High, highlights how the Ultra preset increases the rendering burden beyond what the 48 ROPs and 120 TMUs can sustain at that resolution.
