Undisputed

# Undisputed with Intel Core i7-14700KF + AMD Radeon RX 7700

This combo sits in the 1284th position out of 2813 tested combinations in Undisputed, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. The pairing of Intel's 20-core Raptor Lake refresh CPU with AMD's RDNA 3.0 mid-range GPU produces a system that can handle the game's boxing simulation at high framerates across all common resolutions, though the data reveals where the bottlenecks and sweet spots live.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank of 1284 out of 2813 combos means this pairing outperforms roughly 54% of all tested configurations in Undisputed. That is a solid mid-pack result, but the context matters more than the raw position. The CPU is a top-tier part — its percentileVsAllCpus of 94 puts it in the top 6% of all processors in the database. The GPU, by contrast, sits at percentileVsAllGpus of 58, meaning it is slightly above average but nowhere near flagship territory. The combination of a very strong CPU with a mid-range GPU skews the system's performance toward CPU-bound scenarios, which is exactly what the resolution scaling data shows.

Comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals clarifies the processor's strength. The Intel Core i7-14700KF averages 70163 points across all benchmark suites, which is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX. It leads the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X by 0.9%. Only the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K edges it out, and that by a mere 1% in the other direction. In practical terms, these deltas are negligible — the CPU is not the limiting factor in this gaming configuration.

The GPU tells a different story. The Radeon RX 7700 averages 15852 points, landing within 1.7% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and 1% of the AMD Radeon RX 9060. Its closest rival is the older AMD Radeon R9 370X, which trails by only 0.1%. This clustering around the same performance tier means the GPU defines the ceiling for this combo in Undisputed, and the measured FPS numbers confirm that interpretation.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 7700 brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth. That memory configuration is generous for the performance class, and it shows in how the card handles higher resolutions. The boost clock runs at 2459 MHz, with a game clock of 2041 MHz and a base of 1900 MHz. Memory operates at 2438 MHz, which translates to 19.5 Gbps effective. These clocks are not extreme, but they are consistent with the card's 200 W TDP and dual-slot cooler.

In Undisputed specifically, the GPU's role is dominant at higher resolutions. At 4K Ultra, the combo manages only 50 FPS average. Dropping to 4K High brings that up to 78 FPS, and 4K Medium hits 95 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS. The jump to 4K Low produces 132 FPS. These numbers show a GPU that scales predictably with settings, but the Ultra preset clearly overburdens the card at 2160p. The 16 GB VRAM is unlikely to be the constraint at these settings — the frame rate drops align more with raw compute and fill rate limits.

The card's pixel rate of 236.1 GPixel/s and texture rate of 393.4 GTexel/s are moderate figures that explain the 4K Ultra result. FP32 performance of 25.18 TFLOPS is respectable for the class, but Undisputed's Ultra preset demands more than this GPU can deliver at 4K. At 1440p and below, the card has enough headroom to produce smooth gameplay, which the measured results confirm.

FAQ

Q: Is this combo better suited for 1080p or 1440p gaming in Undisputed?

A: The data shows strong performance at both. At 1080p High, the combo averages 171 FPS, while 1440p High averages 124 FPS. Both exceed typical 60 Hz and 144 Hz display requirements, so either resolution works well. The choice depends on your monitor's native resolution and refresh rate.

Q: How much performance does the Ultra preset cost compared to High?

A: At 4K, Ultra drops to 50 FPS from High's 78 FPS — a 28 FPS loss. At 1440p, Ultra averages 80 FPS versus High's 124 FPS, a 44 FPS reduction. At 1080p, Ultra yields 110 FPS compared to High's 171 FPS, a 61 FPS penalty. The Ultra preset is disproportionately expensive at lower resolutions.

Q: What is the minimum FPS recorded for this combo?

A: The only min FPS values in the measured data come from the Medium preset. At 4K Medium, the minimum is 80 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it is 127 FPS; at 1080p Medium, it is 176 FPS. No min FPS data exists for Low, High, or Ultra presets.

Q: How does this GPU compare to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti?

A: The Radeon RX 7700's average benchmark score of 15852 is 1.7% below the RTX 3060 Ti's 16129. That is a minor difference, effectively placing them in the same performance tier for general workloads, and the in-game results should be similar.

Q: Does the CPU hold back the GPU at 1080p?

A: The 1080p Low preset reaches 288 FPS average, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU at very high frame rates. The CPU's 94th percentile standing among all processors supports this — it is not a bottleneck in this game at any resolution tested.

Q: Is there a large gap between Low and Medium settings at 1440p?

A: Low averages 208 FPS, while Medium averages 150 FPS. That is a 58 FPS difference, which is significant but still leaves Medium well above the 144 Hz threshold for high-refresh monitors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. The Low preset averages 288 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates the CPU-GPU pairing can push well beyond what most displays can show. Medium averages 207 FPS with a minimum of 176 FPS and a maximum of 238 FPS. High drops to 171 FPS average, and Ultra falls to 110 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra is steep: each preset step costs roughly 40-60 FPS at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low averages 208 FPS, still very high. Medium averages 150 FPS with min and max of 127 and 172 respectively. High averages 124 FPS, and Ultra averages 80 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 26 FPS, and between High and Ultra it is 44 FPS. At 1440p, even the Ultra preset maintains a playable 80 FPS average, which is notable for a mid-range GPU.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiter. Low averages 132 FPS, which is respectable for 4K. Medium averages 95 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS and maximum of 109 FPS. High averages 78 FPS, and Ultra averages 50 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only sub-60 FPS figure in the entire dataset, making it the one preset-resolution combination that fails the smoothness test. The Medium preset at 4K, with its 80 FPS minimum, is the only 4K option that guarantees a consistent 60+ FPS experience.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck shifts. At Low settings, 1080p averages 288 FPS, 1440p averages 208 FPS, and 4K averages 132 FPS. That is a 54% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 54% drop from 1440p to 4K (relative to 1080p, 4K is down 54%). The consistent percentage drops suggest the GPU is scaling as expected with pixel count, but the absolute numbers remain high enough that the CPU is still contributing at 4K Low.

At Medium settings, 1080p averages 207 FPS, 1440p averages 150 FPS, and 4K averages 95 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 28%, and from 1440p to 4K is 37%. The steeper decline at higher resolution indicates the GPU is becoming more dominant. At High settings, 1080p averages 171 FPS, 1440p averages 124 FPS, and 4K averages 78 FPS — drops of 27% and 37% respectively. At Ultra, 1080p averages 110 FPS, 1440p averages 80 FPS, and 4K averages 50 FPS — drops of 27% and 38%.

The pattern is clear: as settings increase, the GPU's load grows, and the frame rate penalty for moving to higher resolutions becomes more severe. At Low settings, the CPU can compensate for the GPU's workload, keeping 4K above 130 FPS. At Ultra, the GPU is fully saturated, and 4K drops to half the 1080p figure. This indicates that for this combo, the limiting component is the GPU at higher resolutions and higher presets, while the CPU has ample headroom throughout.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gaming, the High preset at 171 FPS average is the best balance of visual quality and performance. It stays well above the 144 Hz refresh rate that most competitive monitors offer, and the 61 FPS gap to Ultra is not worth the visual difference in a boxing game where motion clarity matters more than fine details. If you have a 240 Hz display, the Medium preset at 207 FPS average is a better choice, as it clears that threshold while still looking good.

At 1440p, the High preset at 124 FPS average is the recommended option. It exceeds the 120 Hz mark that many 1440p monitors support, and it leaves 44 FPS of headroom over Ultra. The Medium preset at 150 FPS is viable for 144 Hz displays, but High offers noticeably better visuals for only a 26 FPS cost. If you prioritize frame rate above all, Low at 208 FPS is there, but the visual quality drop from High is substantial.

At 4K, the Medium preset at 95 FPS average with an 80 FPS minimum is the only sensible choice. It guarantees a stable 60+ FPS experience, which is the baseline for smooth gameplay. The High preset at 78 FPS is playable but leaves less margin for demanding scenes, and Ultra at 50 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold. For 4K, the recommendation is unequivocal: Medium, because it is the highest preset that maintains a comfortable frame rate floor.

Across all resolutions, the Ultra preset is consistently the worst value in terms of FPS per visual step. The data shows it costs 28-61 FPS depending on resolution, and the gains are marginal in a game like Undisputed where the camera angles and action sequences benefit more from fluidity than from extra shadows or reflections. Stick with High at 1080p and 1440p, and Medium at 4K, for the best measured experience.
