Undisputed

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT paired with the Intel Core i7-14700KF produces a dramatic spread of frame rates in Undisputed, ranging from a 405.5 FPS average at 1080p Low to a 71.9 FPS average at 4K Ultra. This data reveals a system with immense headroom at lower resolutions, but one that is clearly constrained by graphics load as resolution and settings climb. The benchmark results indicate a combo that ranks 338th out of 1580 tested configurations, placing it in the top quartile of all pairings.

Resolution Scaling

The performance scaling from 1080p to 4K is steep and informative. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 405.5 FPS at 1920x1080 to 184.2 FPS at 3840x2160, a reduction of 54.6%. This halving of performance suggests that even at Low settings, the 4K resolution begins to tax the GPU significantly, though the absolute numbers remain very high.

Moving to High settings, the scaling pattern shifts. The average FPS falls from 240.1 at 1080p to 172.1 at 1440p, then down to 108.3 at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 28.3%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 37.1%. This non-linear scaling indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting component as resolution increases, with the CPU's influence waning past 1080p.

The most telling data point is at Ultra settings, where the 4K average of 71.9 FPS is less than half of the 154.5 FPS seen at 1080p. The gap between 1440p Ultra (114.8 FPS) and 4K Ultra (71.9 FPS) represents a 37.4% performance hit. This shows that Undisputed at maximum quality is heavily GPU-bound, and the RX 7900 XT's 20 GB memory buffer and 800.0 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed hard at 2160p.

FAQ

Q: What is the highest average frame rate recorded for this combo?

A: The highest average is 405.5 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings.

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

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 4K High, the average is 108.3 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it drops to 71.9 FPS. The data shows playable frame rates at all 4K settings tested, though Ultra dips below the 72 FPS threshold.

Q: How does the RX 7900 XT's memory configuration affect performance?

A: The GPU has 20 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 320-bit bus, delivering 800.0 GB/s bandwidth. This large buffer likely prevents texture-related stuttering at high resolutions, as evidenced by the relatively smooth scaling from 1440p to 4K.

Q: What is the difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, Low settings produce 291.3 FPS average, while Ultra produces 114.8 FPS. This 60.6% reduction in frame rate shows the substantial cost of enabling all visual features.

Q: Is the Intel Core i7-14700KF a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: The data suggests the CPU is still sufficient at 1080p, as the 405.5 FPS Low result is exceptionally high. The 20-core, 28-thread processor with a 5.60 GHz boost clock appears to keep pace even at these extreme frame rates.

Q: Where does this combo rank among all tested systems?

A: It ranks 338th out of 1580 total combinations, placing it in the 78.6th percentile of all tested configurations.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT is the central figure in these results, and its specifications explain much of the observed behavior. Built on the Navi 31 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, this GPU operates with a base clock of 1387 MHz and a boost clock of 2394 MHz. The game clock of 2025 MHz is particularly relevant for sustained gaming workloads, as it represents the expected clock speed during typical gameplay sessions.

The GPU's 20 GB of GDDR6 memory with 800.0 GB/s bandwidth on a 320-bit bus provides substantial headroom for high-resolution textures. In Undisputed, a sports title with detailed character models and arenas, this memory capacity appears to prevent bottlenecks even at 4K Ultra settings. The pixel rate of 459.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 804.4 GTexel/s give the card the raw throughput needed to maintain playable frame rates at the highest resolutions.

The FP32 performance of 51.48 TFLOPS indicates strong general-purpose compute capability, which is reflected in the GPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all graphics cards. The benchmark data shows the card's Passmark G3D score of 29009 is competitive with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile (38349 avg score), though the delta of 0% in nearest rivals suggests these cards trade blows in synthetic tests. The 7900 XT's DirectX 12 score of 110 in Passmark is notably lower than its DirectX 11 score of 340, which might explain some of the performance characteristics seen in modern titles.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce a 405.5 FPS average, Medium drops to 291.6 FPS, High settles at 240.1 FPS, and Ultra maintains a strong 154.5 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 61.9%, showing the full cost of visual fidelity at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the numbers remain high but show clear scaling pressure. Low settings yield 291.3 FPS, Medium produces 208.7 FPS, High drops to 172.1 FPS, and Ultra falls to 114.8 FPS. The reduction from 1080p to 1440p ranges from 28.2% at Low to 25.7% at Ultra, indicating consistent scaling behavior.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's workload becomes the dominant factor. Low settings still manage 184.2 FPS, Medium drops to 136 FPS, High falls to 108.3 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 71.9 FPS. The 4K to 1440p scaling shows a 36.8% reduction at Low, 34.8% at Medium, 37.1% at High, and 37.4% at Ultra, demonstrating that the pixel throughput requirement at 4K is the primary constraint.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT achieves a rank of 338 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the system in the top 21.4% of all configurations, a strong showing for a high-end desktop pairing. The CPU itself ranks in the 96th percentile among all processors, while the GPU sits in the 82nd percentile, suggesting the processor has more relative headroom than the graphics card.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-14700K with a delta of 0%, the AMD EPYC 9115 at +0.3%, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X at -0.4%, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 at -1.3%. These minuscule deltas indicate that the i7-14700KF performs essentially identically to its closest competitors in synthetic benchmarks. The GPU's nearest rivals show a similar pattern, with the RTX 5080 Mobile at 0%, the CMP 70HX at +0.3%, the MX570 at -0.4%, and the RTX 4080 Mobile at +0.6%.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting the smoothest experience, the data suggests that Medium settings at 1440p offer an excellent balance. The 208.7 FPS average at this configuration is more than sufficient for competitive play, and it represents a 28.4% improvement over High settings at the same resolution. At 1080p, High settings provide 240.1 FPS, which is likely beyond the refresh rate of most displays, making Ultra at 154.5 FPS a viable choice for those wanting maximum visual quality.

At 4K, the choice becomes more nuanced. High settings produce 108.3 FPS, which is above the 100 FPS threshold commonly cited for smooth gameplay. Ultra drops to 71.9 FPS, which may introduce noticeable judder on high-refresh displays. The data indicates that High settings at 4K provide 50.6% more performance than Ultra, a significant margin that makes High the recommended preset for 4K gaming.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF provides the computational backbone for this system, and its specifications are crucial to understanding the high frame rates observed. With 20 cores and 28 threads, this Raptor Lake Refresh processor offers substantial parallel processing capability. The base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost clock of 5.60 GHz give it excellent single-thread performance, which is critical for game logic and physics calculations.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong performance across the board. In Cinebench R23, it scores 44557 in multicore and 6290 in single-core tests. The Passmark multithread score of 52425 and single-thread score of 4480 further confirm its capability. The 33 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample high-speed storage for game data, reducing memory latency in performance-critical scenarios.

The processor's 96th percentile ranking among all CPUs suggests it is near the top of the performance hierarchy. In the measured data, the CPU appears to keep pace with the GPU even at 1080p Low settings where 405.5 FPS is achieved. The fact that the combo ranks 338th overall, while the CPU ranks in the 96th percentile, implies that the GPU's 82nd percentile ranking is the more limiting factor in this pairing. The CPU's support for DDR4 and DDR5 memory, alongside its PCIe Gen 5 interface, ensures it can feed data to the GPU efficiently, though the GPU's PCIe 4.0 x16 interface does not fully utilize the CPU's newer bus standard.
