Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed reveals a classic GPU-bound scaling pattern as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the Intel Core i7-14700K and AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT combination produces an average of 290.9 FPS. Stepping up to 1440p Low drops that to 208.8 FPS, a 28% reduction, and 4K Low further reduces it to 133 FPS, which is 54% below the 1080p result. This steep decline indicates that the rendering pipeline is heavily dependent on pixel throughput, which is the domain of the graphics card.

The scaling behavior under High settings tells a similar story, though the absolute numbers are lower. At 1080p High, the average is 170.3 FPS. At 1440p High, it falls to 121.7 FPS, a 29% drop. At 4K High, the average reaches 77 FPS, which is 55% lower than at 1080p. The consistency of these percentage drops across Low and High presets suggests that the game's rendering load scales nearly linearly with resolution, with no sudden bottleneck appearing at any single step.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling, which is expected given the heavier visual workload. From 109.1 FPS at 1080p Ultra, the average drops to 80.8 FPS at 1440p Ultra, and then to 51.2 FPS at 4K Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is 53% below the 1080p Ultra figure, again consistent with the other presets. This uniform scaling pattern strongly suggests that the limiting component across all tested resolutions is the GPU, as the CPU has enough headroom to feed frames even at the lowest resolution and highest settings.

Notably, the gap between Low and Ultra at each resolution is substantial. At 1080p, the difference is 181.8 FPS (from 290.9 down to 109.1). At 4K, the difference narrows to 81.8 FPS (from 133 down to 51.2). This narrowing indicates that at higher resolutions, the GPU's pixel processing capacity becomes the dominant constraint, reducing the relative impact of settings changes.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K is a 20-core, 28-thread processor based on the Raptor Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. In synthetic benchmarks, it achieves a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44534 and a single-core score of 6287, placing it in the 96th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Core i7-14700KF (0% delta), the AMD EPYC 9115 (0.3% delta), and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (-0.5% delta), indicating that the 14700K sits at the top of the performance tier for this metric.

For Undisputed, a sports title, the CPU's role is primarily to maintain a stable frame delivery pipeline. The measured data shows that at 1080p Low, the system reaches 290.9 FPS, which is far beyond what most displays can refresh. This high frame rate ceiling indicates that the CPU is not a limiting factor at lower resolutions. The fact that the FPS drops by roughly half when moving from 1080p to 4K across all settings further confirms that the CPU is not the bottleneck, as a CPU-limited scenario would show relatively flat FPS regardless of resolution.

The processor's 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample capacity for game logic and physics data. The high boost clock of 5.60 GHz is particularly relevant for single-threaded game simulation, which is common in sports titles. The data shows that even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is heavily loaded, the system still produces 51.2 FPS, meaning the CPU is capable of sustaining the game's logic at that level. If the CPU were underpowered, we would expect to see frame rates plateau at a low value regardless of resolution, which is not observed here.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Undisputed covers three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a comprehensive view of the system's performance envelope.

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the system delivers high frame rates across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 290.9 FPS, Medium settings produce 209.8 FPS, High settings produce 170.3 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 109.1 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent reduction in performance, with Ultra being 62% slower than Low. This resolution is clearly well within the capability of the RX 6750 XT, as even the heaviest preset exceeds 100 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but begins to show the GPU's limits. Low settings average 208.8 FPS, Medium settings average 149.5 FPS, High settings average 121.7 FPS, and Ultra settings average 80.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the first configuration where the average drops below 100 FPS, indicating that the GPU is working harder to fill the additional pixels. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 128 FPS, which is a 61% reduction.

At 3840x2160, the system approaches the GPU's rendering ceiling. Low settings still manage 133 FPS, which is respectable for 4K, but Medium settings drop to 97.3 FPS, High settings to 77 FPS, and Ultra to 51.2 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration tested that falls below 60 FPS. This suggests that for 4K gaming, users will need to choose between High settings for a smooth 77 FPS or Ultra settings for maximum visual quality at a lower frame rate.

Across all resolutions, the Medium preset offers a balanced middle ground, with 209.8 FPS at 1080p, 149.5 FPS at 1440p, and 97.3 FPS at 4K.

Its nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (0.2% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (-0.3% delta), and the AMD Radeon 880M (-0.9% delta). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is 1.3% ahead in average score, indicating that the RX 6750 XT sits in a competitive mid-to-high range tier.

The measured FPS data in Undisputed shows that the GPU is the primary performance limiter at all resolutions tested. The consistent percentage drops when moving from 1080p to 1440p to 4K are a hallmark of GPU-bound rendering. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the game's needs, as no memory-related stuttering or frame drops are indicated in the data. The 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is also adequate for the pixel throughput demands at 4K, as evidenced by the 133 FPS result at Low settings.

The GPU's compute capabilities, rated at 13.31 TFLOPS FP32, are well suited to the game's rendering workload. The 40 ray tracing cores may be underutilized in a sports title like Undisputed, but the traditional rasterization performance is strong, as shown by the 4K High result of 77 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the user's resolution and frame rate target.

For 1080p displays, the Ultra preset is the clear recommendation, as it delivers 109.1 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and close to the 144 Hz refresh rate that many competitive gamers prefer. Users with 144 Hz or 165 Hz monitors can also consider the High preset at 170.3 FPS for a smoother experience, but the visual quality difference between High and Ultra may be noticeable. The Medium preset at 209.8 FPS offers no practical advantage over High for most displays, as the frame rate is already beyond typical refresh rate limits.

For 1440p displays, the High preset provides the best balance, with 121.7 FPS. This is sufficient for high refresh rate gaming and offers a significant visual upgrade over Medium settings. The Ultra preset at 80.8 FPS is also viable for users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate, as it remains above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 149.5 FPS is an option for those with 165 Hz or 240 Hz displays, but the visual quality trade-off may not be worth the extra frames.

For 4K displays, the High preset is the recommended choice, as it delivers 77 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS standard for smooth gameplay. The Ultra preset at 51.2 FPS is below 60 FPS and may result in noticeable stuttering during fast action, so it is only recommended for users who prioritize maximum visual quality over frame rate consistency. The Medium preset at 97.3 FPS is another solid option, offering a smoother experience than High at the cost of some visual detail. The Low preset at 133 FPS is unnecessarily low in visual quality for 4K, given the High preset's strong performance.

Overall, the data indicates that this system is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming at high frame rates, with 4K gaming requiring a compromise between settings and performance.
