CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i7-14700K's specifications paint a picture of a processor built for sustained high output. Its 20 cores and 28 threads, combined with a boost clock of 5.60 GHz, provide the kind of headroom that sports simulations like Undisputed can leverage for physics calculations, AI opponent behavior, and frame pacing. The CPU's L3 cache of 33 MB shared across the die, alongside 2 MB L2 per core and 80 KB L1 per core, ensures that frequently accessed data stays close to the execution units. This matters in a boxing game where hit detection and reaction timings must remain consistent frame-to-frame.

Benchmark results for the i7-14700K show a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44534 and a single-core score of 6287, with Geekbench scores of 18896 multi-core and 2932 single-core. These numbers indicate a processor that ranks at the 96th percentile among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms 96% of the competition in aggregate benchmarks. The PassMark multithread score of 52392 and single-thread score of 4472 reinforce this position. When examining how this CPU contributes to Undisputed's performance, the data reveals that at 1080p Low settings, the system achieves 456 FPS — a figure that strongly suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor, as frame rates this high are often constrained by rendering pipeline overhead rather than core compute. The CPU's percentile ranking and its proximity to rivals like the Intel Core i7-14700KF (avgScore 70104, deltaPct 0) and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (avgScore 70420, deltaPct -0.5) indicate that this processor sits at the top tier of available options, providing ample headroom for Undisputed's computational demands.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Examining the measured frame rates across settings, the data shows a clear hierarchy in performance scaling. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 456 FPS, Medium drops to 326.7 FPS, High achieves 275.8 FPS, and Ultra settles at 177.6 FPS. The transition from Low to Medium represents a 28% reduction in frame rate, while Medium to High costs another 16%, and High to Ultra costs 36%. This pattern suggests that the Ultra preset introduces disproportionately heavy visual effects that tax the GPU significantly, while the High preset offers a more balanced trade-off.

At 1440p, the same pattern emerges with amplified differences: Low runs at 332 FPS, Medium at 240.8 FPS, High at 195.8 FPS, and Ultra at 127 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra here represents a 35% performance penalty, which is substantial. For competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays, the High preset appears to be the sweet spot, maintaining frame rates above 190 FPS at both 1080p and 1440p while still providing enhanced visual fidelity over Medium. At 4K, the High preset delivers 124.9 FPS, which remains above the 120 FPS threshold commonly associated with smooth gameplay, whereas Ultra drops to 79.5 FPS — still playable but noticeably less fluid. The data indicates that High settings provide the best overall experience, as they maintain high frame rates across all resolutions without the steep performance cost of Ultra.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The resolution scaling behavior in Undisputed reveals where the performance bottleneck lies. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the frame rate drops from 275.8 to 195.8 FPS, a 29% reduction. From 1440p to 4K at the same settings, it drops further to 124.9 FPS, another 36% reduction. These percentages align closely with the increase in pixel count, which suggests the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor as resolution rises. At 1080p Low, the system pushes 456 FPS, but at 4K Low it still manages 213.1 FPS — a 53% drop that corresponds to the fourfold pixel increase being partially mitigated by the GPU's remaining headroom.

This scaling pattern indicates that at 1080p, the CPU and GPU work in tandem, with neither component being fully saturated, allowing frame rates to reach extremely high values. However, as resolution increases, the RTX 5070 Ti's rendering workload expands, and the frame rates scale predictably with pixel count. The 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient capacity for 4K textures, as evidenced by the system still achieving 79.5 FPS at 4K Ultra. The data suggests that for players targeting 4K, the GPU is the limiting component, while at 1080p, the system's overall balance allows the CPU's high single-thread performance to shine through. The RTX 5070 Ti's boost clock of 2452 MHz and base clock of 2295 MHz, combined with its 8960 shading units, deliver the raw compute needed for these demanding resolutions.
