GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT serves as the primary rendering engine in this configuration, built on the Navi 31 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture. The GPU operates with a base clock of 1387 MHz and a boost clock of 2394 MHz, with a game clock rated at 2025 MHz. These clock speeds, combined with 5376 shading units and 192 ROPs, drive the frame rates observed in Undisputed.

Memory bandwidth plays a critical role in this game's performance. The 20 GB GDDR6 memory pool, running at 2500 MHz (20 Gbps effective), delivers 800.0 GB/s across a 320-bit bus. This bandwidth proves ample for the game's demands, as evidenced by the sustained high frame rates even at 4K resolution. The pixel rate of 459.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 804.4 GTexel/s indicate the GPU's fill-rate capabilities are well-matched to the game's visual complexity.

The GPU's 84 ray tracing cores and 51.48 TFLOPS FP32 performance provide substantial compute headroom. In practical terms, the RX 7900 XT's benchmark percentile of 82 places it above the majority of tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 38358. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile, scores 38349, showing a negligible 0% delta. The data suggests the GPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios, particularly at lower resolutions where the CPU's performance becomes more influential.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals distinct scaling patterns across the three tested resolutions. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 404.4 FPS at 1080p to 292.5 FPS at 1440p, then to 182.6 FPS at 4K. This represents a 54.8% reduction from 1080p to 4K, indicating the GPU handles the increased pixel count effectively without catastrophic performance loss.

The High settings scaling shows a similar trend: 238.9 FPS at 1080p, 173.2 FPS at 1440p, and 107.9 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 4K is 54.8%, which matches the Low settings scaling almost exactly. This consistency suggests the game's rendering workload scales predictably with resolution, with the GPU's 800.0 GB/s bandwidth providing sufficient headroom.

Ultra settings exhibit the steepest decline, falling from 154.6 FPS at 1080p to 113.3 FPS at 1440p and 72.3 FPS at 4K. The 53.2% reduction from 1080p to 4K is slightly less pronounced than at other settings, indicating that Ultra settings introduce additional GPU load that partially masks the resolution scaling. The limiting component shifts from CPU-bound at 1080p Low (404.4 FPS) to GPU-bound at 4K Ultra (72.3 FPS), with the crossover point occurring somewhere between these extremes.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers extraordinary performance across all settings. Low settings produce 404.4 FPS average, while Medium settings yield 292.1 FPS. High settings achieve 238.9 FPS, and Ultra settings still maintain 154.6 FPS. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the system has significant headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors, with even Ultra settings clearing the 144 Hz threshold comfortably.

The 2560x1440 results show a more balanced picture. Low settings hit 292.5 FPS average, Medium settings reach 210.9 FPS, and High settings produce 173.2 FPS. Ultra settings drop to 113.3 FPS, which remains playable but falls below the 144 Hz mark. The performance spread from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 61.3%, showing the settings' substantial impact on frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope tightens considerably. Low settings average 182.6 FPS, Medium settings achieve 131.5 FPS, and High settings manage 107.9 FPS. Ultra settings produce 72.3 FPS, which is the lowest recorded value in the entire dataset. The 4K Ultra figure represents a 82.1% reduction from the 1080p Low result, highlighting the cumulative effect of resolution and settings scaling on GPU load.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's position of 358th out of 1580 total combinations places it in the upper quartile of all tested configurations in Undisputed. This ranking reflects the combined capability of the i7-14700K and RX 7900 XT, which together deliver the high frame rates documented in the measured FPS data.

The CPU's contribution to this ranking is substantial. With an average benchmark score of 70074 and a 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs, the i7-14700K provides strong single-threaded performance, as evidenced by its 6287 score in Cinebench R23 single-core. Its 20 cores and 28 threads, with a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, ensure the game's physics and AI calculations do not become a bottleneck, particularly at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 400 FPS.

The GPU's 82nd percentile ranking, with an average benchmark score of 38358, confirms its position as a high-end part. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5623 and PassMark G3D score of 29009 demonstrate strong DirectX 12 performance, which is relevant for a modern title like Undisputed. The combo's ranking suggests it outperforms 77.3% of tested configurations, making it a viable choice for competitive play where high frame rates are paramount.

The delta between the CPU's nearest rivals is minimal, with the i7-14700KF matching its score exactly and the Ryzen 9 9950X trailing by only 0.5%. This indicates that the CPU selection has little impact on the combo's overall ranking, with the GPU playing a more significant role in determining the final position among the 1580 tested combinations. The data confirms that this pairing offers a well-balanced platform for Undisputed, capable of delivering competitive frame rates at every resolution and settings combination tested.
