# Undisputed with Intel Core i7-14700KF + AMD Radeon RX 7600

The Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the AMD Radeon RX 7600 delivers a balanced 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, a boxing sports title released on 2023-10-10. The combination ranks 1059 out of 1580 tested combos in this game, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the benchmark database. Measured frame rates range from 232 FPS at 1080p Low down to 42.9 FPS at 4K Ultra, indicating that the system handles competitive play at lower resolutions but struggles at the highest settings and resolutions. The data shows a clear pattern: the CPU has ample headroom for this game, while the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution and settings increase.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor from the Core 14th Gen series, built on Raptor Lake architecture with a 10 nm process. It operates at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 5.60 GHz, with 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB L2 per core. Its multi-threaded performance is substantial, scoring 44,557 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 6,290 in single-core, with a PassMark multi-thread score of 52,425 and a single-thread score of 4,480. The CPU sits in the 96th percentile among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 70,104.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 232 FPS, which is far beyond what a 60 Hz display requires. Even at 4K Ultra, where the GPU is clearly stressed, the frame rate drops to 42.9 FPS — a pattern that suggests the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at any tested configuration. The nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-14700K with a deltaPct of 0, the AMD EPYC 9115 at 0.3% faster, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X at 0.4% slower, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 at 1.3% slower. These margins are tiny, indicating that the 14700KF's performance is effectively equivalent to its closest competitors in general compute tasks. For a sports game like Undisputed, which likely relies more on physics and AI than on heavy multi-threaded workloads, the 14700KF's 20 cores and 28 threads provide ample headroom. The boost clock of 5.60 GHz ensures strong single-thread performance, which is often more relevant for game logic and frame pacing.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is an RDNA 3.0 architecture GPU with the Navi 33 chip, manufactured on a 6 nm process by TSMC. It features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU runs at a base clock of 1720 MHz, a game clock of 2250 MHz, and a boost clock of 2655 MHz, with 2,048 shading units and 64 ROPs. Its FP32 performance is 21.75 TFLOPS, and it occupies the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20,258.

In Undisputed, the RX 7600's 8 GB VRAM and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are tested across the resolution ladder. The GPU's nearest rivals include the RX 7600 XT at 0.6% faster, the RX 460 at 0.8% faster, the RTX 3070 Mobile at 1.3% slower, and the Intel Arc B570 at 1.5% slower. These close margins suggest that the RX 7600 sits in a competitive tier, but the measured FPS in Undisputed reveals its limits. At 1080p High, the GPU delivers 139.9 FPS, but at 4K High it falls to 64.3 FPS — a drop of over 50%. The 4K Ultra result of 42.9 FPS indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at high resolutions and settings. The 8 GB VRAM may also become a factor at 4K with Ultra textures, though the data shows the frame rate scaling is more consistent with raw compute and bandwidth limitations than with memory capacity issues.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS rows provide a clear picture of which settings offer the best experience. At 1080p, the Low preset delivers 232 FPS, Medium 167.5 FPS, High 139.9 FPS, and Ultra 89.4 FPS. For competitive play on a 144 Hz display, High is the sweet spot, offering 139.9 FPS — close enough to the refresh rate to feel smooth, while still providing better visual fidelity than Medium or Low. Ultra at 89.4 FPS is playable but sacrifices the high refresh rate advantage. At 1440p, High delivers 102.5 FPS, which is above 100 FPS and suitable for most gaming monitors. Medium at 121.5 FPS is also viable, but High's visual improvements come at a modest cost. At 4K, only Low (106 FPS) and Medium (78 FPS) are truly playable; High drops to 64.3 FPS and Ultra to 42.9 FPS, the latter being below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The data suggests that High settings at 1080p provide the best balance of visual quality and performance, while 1440p High is the best option for higher-resolution displays without sacrificing frame rate.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest playable settings preset at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the High preset achieves 139.9 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and close to 144 Hz. Ultra drops to 89.4 FPS, so High is the recommended maximum for smooth gameplay.

Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Undisputed?

A: At 3840x2160, only the Low preset (106 FPS) and Medium preset (78 FPS) are comfortably playable. High drops to 64.3 FPS, and Ultra falls to 42.9 FPS, which is below the standard 60 FPS target.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-14700K?

A: The Intel Core i7-14700KF and the Intel Core i7-14700K have an identical average benchmark score deltaPct of 0, meaning they perform equally in general compute benchmarks. In-game, the CPU is not the bottleneck, so this parity holds for Undisputed.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between 1080p and 1440p at High settings?

A: At High settings, the frame rate drops from 139.9 FPS at 1920x1080 to 102.5 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 37.4 FPS or roughly 27%.

Q: Is the RX 7600's 8 GB VRAM sufficient for this game?

A: The measured data shows no VRAM-related stutters or crashes, as the frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings. However, the 4K Ultra result of 42.9 FPS suggests the GPU's compute and bandwidth limits are reached before VRAM capacity becomes a clear issue.

Q: How does the combo rank compare to other tested systems?

A: This combination ranks 1059 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. The rank reflects the GPU's mid-tier positioning, as the CPU is in the 96th percentile overall.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent decline as resolution increases, which is typical for a GPU-bound scenario. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 139.9 FPS at 1080p to 102.5 FPS at 1440p, then to 64.3 FPS at 4K. This represents a 27% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 37% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is steeper at higher settings: at Ultra, the drop is from 89.4 FPS at 1080p to 62 FPS at 1440p, then to 42.9 FPS at 4K. At Low settings, the system maintains high frame rates across all resolutions, from 232 FPS at 1080p to 165.3 FPS at 1440p and 106 FPS at 4K. This pattern indicates that the RX 7600 has enough raw throughput for low-settings 4K, but the gap between Low and Ultra at 4K (63.1 FPS difference) is nearly double the gap at 1080p (142.6 FPS difference) in absolute terms. The data suggests that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at 4K, as the CPU's performance headroom is evident from the high frame rates at 1080p Low. The 1440p results are the most balanced, with High at 102.5 FPS and Medium at 121.5 FPS, offering a good middle ground for users with 1440p displays.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) across three resolutions, providing 12 data points. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 232 FPS, Medium 167.5 FPS, High 139.9 FPS, and Ultra 89.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 142.6 FPS, showing a significant performance cost for the highest visual quality. At 2560x1440, Low delivers 165.3 FPS, Medium 121.5 FPS, High 102.5 FPS, and Ultra 62 FPS. The spread here is 103.3 FPS, slightly narrower than at 1080p but still substantial. At 3840x2160, Low reaches 106 FPS, Medium 78 FPS, High 64.3 FPS, and Ultra 42.9 FPS. The spread narrows further to 63.1 FPS, because the GPU is already saturated at Low settings. Comparing the same preset across resolutions, Low drops from 232 FPS at 1080p to 165.3 FPS at 1440p and 106 FPS at 4K — a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K. High drops from 139.9 FPS to 102.5 FPS to 64.3 FPS — a 54% reduction as well. Ultra drops from 89.4 FPS to 62 FPS to 42.9 FPS — a 52% reduction. The consistency of these percentage drops confirms that the scaling is primarily resolution-driven rather than setting-driven, reinforcing the conclusion that the GPU is the limiting component throughout the tested range. The 4K Ultra result of 42.9 FPS is the only measured configuration that falls below 60 FPS, while all other settings at 1080p and 1440p remain above 60 FPS.
