Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti combination delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, a sports title that rewards high frame rates. The data shows this pairing is nowhere near a bottleneck at any resolution, with the GPU heavily influencing scaling from 1080p to 4K. This analysis breaks down how the components behave, what the measured FPS means for gameplay, and which settings offer the best balance.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K reveals a classic GPU-bound scenario. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 460.7 FPS, but this drops to 332.4 FPS at 1440p and further to 212.7 FPS at 4K. That is a 53.8% reduction from 1080p to 4K at the lowest preset, indicating the RTX 5070 Ti is doing the heavy lifting as pixel count skyrockets.

The scaling pattern is consistent across all settings. With High settings, the drop from 274.7 FPS at 1080p to 198.8 FPS at 1440p and then 124.1 FPS at 4K shows a predictable curve. The most dramatic fall occurs at Ultra, where 178.3 FPS at 1080p plummets to 127.6 FPS at 1440p and 82.1 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result is the only one below the 100 FPS mark, suggesting that the resolution is the primary limiting factor here.

What is telling is the spread between Low and Ultra at each resolution. At 1080p, that spread is 282.4 FPS (from 460.7 to 178.3). At 4K, it narrows to 130.6 FPS (from 212.7 to 82.1). This compression at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU is becoming the constraint, while at 1080p the CPU has more headroom to push frame rates far beyond what the GPU can sustain at 4K. The data indicates that for competitive play, 1080p or 1440p is the sweet spot, while 4K is viable for visual fidelity at slightly lower frame rates.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with a 5 nm process and 45,600 million transistors. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivers 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is substantial for a game like Undisputed that relies on texture streaming and physics calculations. The core clocks run at 2295 MHz base and 2452 MHz boost, with 8960 shading units and 280 texture mapping units.

Benchmark results place this GPU in the 87th percentile of all GPUs, with a PassMark G3D score of 32974. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, scores 52085 on the average benchmark, a delta of 0% — meaning the 5070 Ti is effectively a peer to the previous generation's flagship. The AMD Radeon RX 7700S trails by 0.8%, while the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M is 2.5% ahead in synthetic tests.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is evident from the 4K results. At High settings, 124.1 FPS is achievable, which is smooth for a sports game. The jump from Low to Medium at 4K costs 59.8 FPS (from 212.7 to 152.9), while the jump from Medium to Ultra costs another 70.8 FPS (from 152.9 to 82.1). This suggests that the Ultra preset introduces effects that heavily tax the GPU, likely in shadows and reflections. The 16 GB VRAM is more than sufficient, as no memory-related stutters are indicated by the data.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700F provides 20 cores and 28 threads, with a base clock of 2.10 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz. It uses a 65 W TDP and is built on the Raptor Lake architecture with a 10 nm process. The 33 MB of shared L3 cache is ample for gaming workloads, and the CPU supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, though the game's performance does not appear to be memory-bandwidth sensitive.

In CPU benchmarks, the i7-14700F scores 35443 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 5003 in single-core. It sits in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 54097. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, is only 0.6% faster, while the Ryzen 9 9900X3D is 1.1% faster. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 is 1.2% slower, and the AMD EPYC 7313P is 1.7% slower. This places the i7-14700F firmly in the top tier of gaming processors.

The CPU's influence in Undisputed is most apparent at 1080p, where frame rates exceed 400 FPS on Low settings. At 460.7 FPS, the CPU is feeding the GPU efficiently without becoming a bottleneck. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly stressed, the CPU maintains enough headroom to avoid frame drops. The 5.40 GHz boost clock is critical for maintaining high minimum frame rates in a game that simulates boxing physics, which can be single-threaded in nature.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers four settings presets across three resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 460.7 FPS, which is more than enough for any high-refresh-rate monitor. Medium at 1080p drops to 326.6 FPS, High to 274.7 FPS, and Ultra to 178.3 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 282.4 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset demands significant GPU resources even at lower resolutions.

At 1440p, the results are still impressive. Low produces 332.4 FPS, Medium 241.9 FPS, High 198.8 FPS, and Ultra 127.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra narrows to 204.8 FPS, showing that the GPU is beginning to be taxed. For 1440p gaming, High settings at 198.8 FPS offer a strong balance, while Ultra at 127.6 FPS remains playable.

At 4K, the frame rates become more moderate. Low yields 212.7 FPS, Medium 152.9 FPS, High 124.1 FPS, and Ultra 82.1 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only one below 100 FPS, and it sits 42 FPS below the 4K High result. This suggests that Ultra at 4K is not recommended for competitive play, but is acceptable for single-player or casual matches. The data is measured, not estimated, and all results are average FPS with no minimum or maximum values recorded.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of Intel Core i7-14700F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti ranks 132nd out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the top 8.4% of all configurations, which is a strong result for a mid-to-high-end pairing. The rank reflects the balance between the CPU and GPU, where neither component is holding the other back.

To contextualize, the GPU's nearest rival, the RTX 4080, has an identical average benchmark score, meaning this combo would likely perform similarly to an i7-14700F with an RTX 4080. The CPU's nearest rival, the Ryzen 9 9900X, is only 0.6% faster in synthetic tests, so swapping in that CPU would yield negligible gains in this game. The rank of 132 suggests that there are 131 combinations that perform better, likely featuring higher-end GPUs like the RTX 5090 or faster CPUs like the Core i9-14900K, but the data shows that this combo is already in the top tier for Undisputed.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience, the data points to High settings as the optimal preset. At 1080p, High delivers 274.7 FPS, which is far beyond the 144 Hz refresh rate most competitive monitors use. At 1440p, High produces 198.8 FPS, which is still excellent for high-refresh gaming. Even at 4K, High yields 124.1 FPS, which is smooth for a sports title.

Ultra settings, while visually superior, carry a significant FPS penalty. At 4K, Ultra drops to 82.1 FPS, which may introduce noticeable input lag on a 120 Hz display. The difference between High and Ultra at 1440p is 71.2 FPS (from 198.8 to 127.6), which is a 35.8% reduction. At 1080p, the penalty is 96.4 FPS (from 274.7 to 178.3). The data suggests that Ultra is not worth the cost unless the user has a 1440p 144 Hz monitor and prioritizes visuals over frame rate.

Low and Medium settings are only recommended if the user is targeting extreme frame rates. At 1080p Low, 460.7 FPS is achievable, which is useful for 360 Hz monitors, but the visual quality loss is substantial. Medium at 1440p (241.9 FPS) is a good middle ground for those who want high refresh rates without sacrificing too much detail. For most users, High settings across all resolutions offer the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, with the 4K High result of 124.1 FPS being a strong indicator that this combo can handle Undisputed at maximum quality without compromise.
