Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination delivers a wide performance envelope in Undisputed, ranging from a highly playable 63 FPS at 4K Ultra to a blistering 359 FPS at 1080p Low. The measured data reveals a system where the GPU is the primary scaling factor as resolution increases, while the CPU’s substantial core and thread count ensures the frame rate ceiling remains exceptionally high at lower settings. This pairing sits in the 1058th position out of 3718 tested combos, placing it firmly in the top third of all configurations benchmarked for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K in Undisputed follows the expected pattern of GPU-bound scaling, but the magnitude of the drop varies significantly depending on the quality preset. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 359 FPS at 1920x1080 to 259 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of 100 FPS, and then to 164 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 54.3% performance loss from 1080p to 4K, which is substantial but still leaves the game running at refresh rates far beyond what most displays can show. The data suggests that at Low settings, even at 4K, the RTX 3080 is not fully saturated, and the 20-core processor is providing ample headroom.

Moving to Medium settings, the scaling curve steepens. The average frame rates are 258 FPS at 1080p, 187 FPS at 1440p, and 118 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K here is 54.3% as well, but the absolute numbers reveal a tighter coupling to the GPU’s capabilities. The minimum FPS at 1440p Medium is 159, and at 4K Medium it is 100, indicating that the 1% lows scale proportionally with the averages, suggesting a consistent workload without major CPU-induced stutter. The 4K Medium result of 118 FPS average is a strong indicator that this combination handles higher fidelity settings well at ultra-high resolutions.

High settings present a different scaling behavior. The average frame rates are 214 FPS at 1080p, 154 FPS at 1440p, and 98 FPS at 4K. The percentage drop from 1080p to 1440p is 28.0%, while the drop from 1440p to 4K is 36.4%. This non-linear scaling indicates that the game’s High preset introduces effects that disproportionately tax the GPU’s memory bandwidth and shading units as pixel count increases. The 4K High result of 98 FPS is still excellent for a sports title, but the data shows the performance cost of each resolution step is growing.

Ultra settings deliver the most dramatic scaling, with average frame rates of 137 FPS at 1080p, 99 FPS at 1440p, and 63 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 27.7%, but the drop from 1440p to 4K is 36.4%, mirroring the High preset’s pattern but at lower absolute values. The 4K Ultra result of 63 FPS is the only configuration that dips below the 60 FPS threshold, making it the first setting where the RTX 3080’s 10 GB VRAM and 320-bit memory bus become a limiting factor. The data clearly shows that the GPU is the dominant constraint at 4K Ultra, while the CPU’s 5.60 GHz boost clock keeps the lower resolution results incredibly high.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, plays a critical role in ensuring that Undisputed never becomes CPU-bound at the tested resolutions. The processor’s 3.40 GHz base clock and 5.60 GHz boost clock provide the single-threaded performance necessary for a sports game’s physics and AI calculations, while the 33 MB of shared L3 cache helps with data locality. In benchmark results, this CPU achieves a Passmark single-thread score of 4480, which is indicative of its strong per-core performance.

The multi-threaded capabilities are equally impressive, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 44167 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 21462. These results place the processor in the 94th percentile of all CPUs tested, showing that it has far more computational headroom than a game like Undisputed requires. The data supports this: at 1080p Low, the system produces 359 FPS, which is likely near the game engine’s rendering limit rather than a CPU bottleneck. Even at 1080p Ultra, the 137 FPS average demonstrates that the CPU can feed the GPU effectively without becoming a constraint.

The processor’s nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, which scores 0.9% lower on average, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, which scores 1.0% higher. This close grouping suggests that the 14700KF is in the top tier of gaming processors, and any differences in Undisputed FPS would be negligible. The 28 threads also ensure that background tasks or streaming overhead do not interfere with frame pacing, as evidenced by the consistent minimum FPS values at 1440p and 4K Medium settings. For this game, the CPU is not a limiting factor at any tested setting, and the data shows it provides a robust platform for the RTX 3080 to operate at its full potential.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 is the primary driver of frame rate changes across resolutions, and its specifications explain the scaling patterns observed. The GPU features 8704 shading units, 272 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs, paired with 10 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 320-bit bus. This configuration yields a memory bandwidth of 760.3 GB/s, which is crucial for handling the texture and geometry data at higher resolutions. The boost clock of 1710 MHz and the FP32 performance of 29.77 TFLOPS provide the raw compute power needed for the game’s rendering effects.

The 4K Ultra result of 63 FPS is the clearest indicator of the GPU’s limits. At this setting, the 10 GB VRAM capacity is likely being taxed by high-resolution textures, and the 320-bit memory bus becomes a bottleneck for the 760.3 GB/s bandwidth. The drop from 99 FPS at 1440p Ultra to 63 FPS at 4K Ultra represents a 36.4% loss, which is a significant penalty for increasing pixel count by 2.25x. This suggests that the RTX 3080’s memory subsystem is the limiting factor at this extreme setting, rather than its compute capabilities.

In contrast, the GPU’s performance at 1080p is exceptional, with a Low setting average of 359 FPS and a Medium average of 258 FPS. These numbers show that at lower resolutions, the GPU is not the bottleneck; instead, the game engine or CPU threading becomes the constraint. The GPU’s Passmark G3D score of 25086 places it in the 68th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6600M, which scores 0.4% lower. This indicates that the RTX 3080, despite being from the previous generation, still holds its own against newer mid-range offerings.

The 4K Medium result of 118 FPS is particularly telling, as it shows the GPU can handle high resolution when the visual effects are dialed back. The minimum FPS of 100 at this setting indicates that the frame time consistency is good, with no major spikes. The GPU’s 68 RT cores and 272 tensor cores are not heavily utilized in a sports game, but they contribute to the DirectX 12 Ultimate support, which the game can leverage for modern rendering techniques. Overall, the data shows that the RTX 3080 is a capable 4K performer for Undisputed, but it requires the user to choose between high resolution and high settings, as 4K Ultra is the only configuration that falls below the 60 FPS mark.
