FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo to maintain 100+ FPS?

A: At 1920x1080, the combo averages 164.5 FPS on High, 199 FPS on Medium, and 275.8 FPS on Low, all above 100 FPS. At 2560x1440, High yields 119.4 FPS and Medium yields 143.1 FPS, so 1440p is viable for high refresh rates if you avoid Ultra settings.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 3840x2160, the average FPS is 124.1 on Low, 90.4 on Medium, and 74.9 on High. Ultra drops to 46.2 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold many players prefer. For 4K, stick to Low or Medium for smooth play.

*Q: How does the CPU's 20 cores affect Undisputed?*

A: The Intel Core i7-14700KF has 20 cores and 28 threads, which provides massive headroom for background tasks and streaming. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44557 and single-core score of 6290 indicate both multi-threaded and single-threaded strength, meaning the game's logic and physics won't bottleneck the GPU.

Q: Is the RX 6700 XT's 12 GB VRAM enough for this game?

A: The data shows playable results at all resolutions up to High settings, where 4K averages 74.9 FPS. The 12 GB GDDR6 memory with 384.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for Undisputed's current presets, as no tested configuration showed signs of VRAM-related stutter or crashes.

Q: What is the difference between High and Ultra settings?

A: The performance cost of Ultra over High is steep across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, Ultra averages 105.9 FPS versus 164.5 FPS on High (a 35% drop). At 2560x1440, the gap is 78.7 FPS versus 119.4 FPS. At 4K, Ultra drops to 46.2 FPS versus 74.9 FPS, making Ultra impractical for consistent frame pacing.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to all tested pairings?

A: The combo ranks 866th out of 1580 combos, placing it in the 55th percentile of all tested systems. This is a mid-pack position, but the raw FPS numbers are high because Undisputed is not extremely demanding; the rank reflects the presence of many higher-end GPUs in the database.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is the primary driver of frame rate in Undisputed, and its clock speeds and memory configuration explain the measured results. The GPU runs at a base clock of 2321 MHz, a game clock of 2424 MHz, and a boost clock of 2581 MHz, with 2560 shading units and 64 ROPs. These specs produce a pixel rate of 165.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 413.0 GTexel/s, which directly translate to how quickly the card can fill the screen with boxing-ring geometry and character models.

The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus delivers 384.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a moderate amount by modern standards, but the measured FPS suggests it is not a limiting factor at 1080p or 1440p. At 3840x2160, the frame rate drops from 90.4 FPS on Medium to 74.9 FPS on High, a 17% reduction that likely reflects both memory bandwidth pressure and shader workload. The GPU's FP32 performance of 13.21 TFLOPS is adequate for this sports title, which does not rely on heavy ray tracing — the card has 40 RT cores, but the game's Ultra preset appears to use them minimally, if at all.

The GPU's nearest rivals in aggregate benchmarks include the AMD Radeon RX 6800 (0.7% higher average score), the AMD Radeon HD 7950 (1% lower), and the NVIDIA RTX A5000 (1.3% higher). This places the RX 6700 XT in a tight performance band, and the measured FPS in Undisputed reflects that — it is not a top-tier card, but it is firmly mid-range. The percentileVsAllGpus of 77 confirms this, meaning it outperforms 77% of all GPUs in the database.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF provides the computational foundation for Undisputed, and its 20 cores (8 performance + 12 efficiency, per Raptor Lake architecture) with 28 threads ensure the CPU never becomes the bottleneck. The base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz give excellent single-thread responsiveness, which matters for the game's simulation of fighter AI and physics. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 6290 and multi-core score of 44557 are strong indicators of this.

The CPU's cache hierarchy includes 80 KB of L1 per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and 33 MB of shared L3 cache. This large L3 pool helps keep frequently accessed game data close to the cores, reducing memory latency. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel mode, though the fact pack does not specify which was used in the measured FPS runs. The 125 W TDP is modest for a 20-core part, and the Intel Socket 1700 platform is common, making this a practical pairing.

The CPU's nearest rivals in aggregate benchmarks are the Intel Core i7-14700K (0% delta, meaning essentially identical), the AMD EPYC 9115 (0.3% higher), the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (0.4% lower), and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 (1.3% lower). All of these are within 1.3% of each other, so the 14700KF's 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs is well-deserved. In Undisputed, this CPU headroom means that even at 1920x1080 with Low settings, where the GPU produces 275.8 FPS, the CPU can keep up without frame drops.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 866th out of 1580 tested combinations for Undisputed, which is a mid-table finish. This ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU, as the CPU is near the top of its class (96th percentile) while the GPU is in the 77th percentile. The data indicates that many combos above this pairing use faster GPUs like the RX 6800 or RTX A5000, which score marginally higher in aggregate benchmarks but do not necessarily offer a large FPS advantage in this specific game.

The practical takeaway is that this combo sits in a "sweet spot" for 1080p and 1440p gaming. It outperforms lower-tier GPUs by a wide margin — the RX 6700 XT's avgBenchmarkScore of 33721 is 0.7% below the RX 6800, but the nearestRivals data shows the HD 7950 and RX 480 are 1% lower, meaning the 6700 XT is firmly above older cards. The measured FPS confirms this: at 1920x1080 High, the combo delivers 164.5 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS baseline for most monitors. The rank of 866/1580 is not a reflection of poor performance but rather the presence of many high-end GPUs in the database that push this pairing down the list.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear hierarchy of settings for this combo. If you prioritize smoothness and have a 144 Hz monitor, the best experience is 1920x1080 on High settings, which averages 164.5 FPS — this leaves enough headroom to avoid dips below the refresh rate. For 1440p, High settings at 119.4 FPS is the sweet spot, as it stays above 100 FPS while offering better image clarity than Medium at 143.1 FPS (the latter is faster but visually inferior).

For 4K, the recommendation is Medium settings at 90.4 FPS, which provides a playable experience without the steep cost of High (74.9 FPS) or the sluggishness of Ultra (46.2 FPS). Ultra is not recommended on any resolution: it drops below 60 FPS at 1440p (78.7 FPS) and falls to 46.2 FPS at 4K, which will feel choppy for a sports title where timing is critical. Low settings are viable for competitive play, hitting 275.8 FPS at 1080p, but they sacrifice visual fidelity for marginal gains over High.

The data suggests that High is the optimal preset for most users, as it balances frame rate and quality across all three resolutions. Medium is a fallback for 4K, and Low should only be used if you have a 240 Hz+ monitor at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low averages 275.8 FPS, Medium averages 199 FPS, High averages 164.5 FPS, and Ultra averages 105.9 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs 58.6 FPS, which is a 35% reduction — a significant penalty for what is likely a minor visual improvement. This resolution is where the RX 6700 XT shines, as the GPU is not constrained by memory bandwidth.

At 2560x1440, the results are still strong but show the GPU working harder. Low averages 200.3 FPS, Medium averages 143.1 FPS, High averages 119.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 78.7 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 23.7 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 40.7 FPS, indicating that Ultra is disproportionately expensive. A 144 Hz monitor at 1440p will be well-served by High settings, with 119.4 FPS providing a comfortable margin.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop significantly, reflecting the GPU's 192-bit memory bus and 384.0 GB/s bandwidth. Low averages 124.1 FPS, Medium averages 90.4 FPS, High averages 74.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 46.2 FPS. The Ultra result is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth play, and even High is borderline for some players. Medium is the recommended 4K preset, as it stays above 90 FPS while maintaining acceptable image quality. The data shows a clear pattern: this combo is best used at 1080p or 1440p, with 4K reserved for Medium settings or lower.
