Undisputed

This combo pairing, the Intel Core i7-14700K with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, delivers a well-balanced experience for Undisputed, though it is not without its bottlenecks at the highest settings. The data places this configuration at rank 990 out of 1580 tested combos in this title, putting it in the lower-middle portion of the field. That ranking is not a condemnation; it reflects an older GPU working against a modern, high-core-count CPU, and the measured frames show that the pairing is more than capable of delivering smooth, playable performance at most settings, with a clear ceiling imposed by the graphics card at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 990 out of 1580 tested combinations places it in the 37th percentile of all setups measured for this game. This is a modest position, but the interpretation depends heavily on the resolution and settings you target. The CPU is a top-tier part, sitting in the 96th percentile against all CPUs, and it punches far above the GPU's weight class. The RTX 2070 SUPER, by contrast, sits in the 65th percentile against all GPUs. This mismatch means the ranking is largely dragged down by the graphics card's age, not the processor's capability. In practical terms, the combo ranks where it does because the GPU is the limiting factor in most scenarios, particularly at higher resolutions. The data suggests that for a 1080p or 1440p gamer, this rank is misleadingly low, as the measured frame rates are high enough to compete with much higher-ranked combos that might be paired with weaker CPUs.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the pivot point for this pairing. Built on the Turing architecture with a TU104 chip, it offers 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base clock runs at 1605 MHz with a boost of 1770 MHz, and the memory operates at 1750 MHz, or 14 Gbps effective. These specs are competent for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 8 GB frame buffer becomes a constraint at 4K. Looking at the measured data, the GPU's role is clear: it scales performance almost linearly with settings until it hits a wall at Ultra. The GPU's benchmark scores reinforce its mid-range standing, with an average benchmark score of 22206, placing it just 0.9% ahead of the GTX TITAN Z and 2.5% ahead of the RX 5700. This is not a card that will dominate at 4K, but it has enough headroom to keep frame rates respectable at lower presets.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the best experience for this combo is found at the Medium preset across all tested resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo produces 181.3 FPS, which is a massive jump over the 96.7 FPS at Ultra, and it stays well above the 144Hz threshold for high-refresh monitors. At 1440p Medium, the average is 129.4 FPS, which is still smooth and playable, while 4K Medium delivers 81.9 FPS, which is acceptable for a slower-paced sports title. The High preset is also viable, with 152.9 FPS at 1080p and 110.6 FPS at 1440p, but it dips to 71.1 FPS at 4K, which is borderline. Ultra is the only preset that should be avoided, as it drops to 46.4 FPS at 4K and 67.4 FPS at 1440p, which introduces noticeable stutter. The sweet spot is Medium: it offers nearly double the frame rate of Ultra at 1080p and 4K, with only a modest visual fidelity loss that is unlikely to matter in a fast-paced boxing match.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a clear picture of performance scaling across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the combo starts strong with 250.9 FPS on Low, drops to 181.3 FPS on Medium, 152.9 FPS on High, and bottoms out at 96.7 FPS on Ultra. This shows a 61% drop from Low to Ultra, indicating that the GPU is being pushed hard at the highest preset, but even the worst case at 1080p is well above the 60 FPS playability standard. Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern holds: Low produces 180.4 FPS, Medium yields 129.4 FPS, High gives 110.6 FPS, and Ultra falls to 67.4 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 63%, suggesting the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the CPU's 20 cores and 28 threads are not being taxed. At 3840x2160, the numbers drop significantly: Low hits 115 FPS, Medium reaches 81.9 FPS, High manages 71.1 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 46.4 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only figure in the entire dataset that falls below 60 FPS, marking it as the sole unplayable configuration.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and tells a clear story about the limiting component. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 250.9 at 1080p to 180.4 at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 115 at 4K (a 54% reduction from 1080p). At Medium, the drop is from 181.3 to 129.4 to 81.9, a 55% reduction from 1080p to 4K. High settings show a similar trend: 152.9 to 110.6 to 71.1, a 53% reduction. Ultra is the most punishing, going from 96.7 to 67.4 to 46.4, a 52% reduction. These percentages cluster tightly, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor across all presets. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the scaling would be less pronounced at higher resolutions, as the GPU would be waiting on the processor. Instead, the consistent 50-55% drop from 1080p to 4K points squarely at the RTX 2070 SUPER's 8 GB frame buffer and memory bandwidth being saturated. The CPU's role is to feed the GPU, and at these resolutions, the GPU is simply running out of headroom.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700K is a powerhouse that is heavily underutilized in this pairing for Undisputed. With 20 cores, 28 threads, a base clock of 3.40 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, this CPU is built for multi-threaded workloads, as evidenced by its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 44534 and its Passmark multithread score of 52392. Its single-thread performance is also strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6287 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2932, which is more relevant for gaming. However, the game's measured FPS data shows that the CPU is not the constraint. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 250.9 FPS, which is high enough to expose any CPU limitation, but the fact that it scales down smoothly to 115 FPS at 4K Low indicates the GPU is doing the heavy lifting. The CPU's percentile rank of 96 against all CPUs means it is among the fastest available, and its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-14700KF, scores nearly identically with a delta of 0%, showing that this chip is already at the top of its class. In this game, the i7-14700K is effectively idling, providing ample headroom for future GPU upgrades without needing a platform change. The 125W TDP and 33 MB of shared L3 cache further cement its role as a long-term investment, but for Undisputed specifically, it is the GPU that dictates the final frame rate.
