CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-14700KF is a 20-core, 28-thread processor from the Core 14th Gen series, built on Intel's Raptor Lake architecture using a 10 nm process. It operates with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boosts up to 5.60 GHz, which is critical for Undisputed's physics and AI calculations during matches. The chip features 80 KB of L1 cache per core, 2 MB of L2 per core, and a substantial 33 MB of shared L3 cache, allowing for rapid access to frequently used data during fast-paced combat sequences.

In synthetic benchmarks, the i7-14700KF scores impressively: 44557 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 6290 in single-core, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 19287 and single-core score of 2972. These numbers indicate strong multi-threaded capability, which is relevant for background tasks while gaming, but the single-core performance is what drives frame pacing in fighting games. The PassMark multi-thread score of 52425 and single-thread score of 4480 further reinforce this balanced profile.

The CPU's percentile ranking against all processors is 96, meaning it outperforms 96% of CPUs in the database. When compared to its nearest rivals, the i7-14700KF sits just 0.4% behind the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, which has an average benchmark score of 70420, while the i7-14700K is essentially tied at 0% delta with a score of 70074. The AMD EPYC 9115 trails by 0.3%, and the Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 sits 1.3% behind. This tight grouping shows the 14700KF is at the apex of consumer CPU performance, providing no bottleneck for the RTX 4090 in this title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 is the flagship of the GeForce 40-series, utilizing the AD102 chip on Ada Lovelace architecture with a 5 nm TSMC process. It packs 24 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth. The GPU operates at a base clock of 2235 MHz and boosts to 2520 MHz, with memory running at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). This massive memory pool ensures that even at 4K Ultra settings, texture streaming remains fluid during fight sequences.

The RTX 4090's compute capabilities are staggering: 16384 shading units, 512 TMUs, and 176 ROPs, alongside 128 RT cores and 512 tensor cores. It achieves 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and a pixel rate of 443.5 GPixel/s, with a texture rate of 1,290.2 GTexel/s. In DirectX 12 benchmarks, the card scores 150 in PassMark's DX12 test, while its overall PassMark G3D score reaches 38194. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 317684 and Vulkan score of 270615 highlight its API versatility.

The GPU ranks in the 91st percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 66473. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla T4 at -0.4% delta, the Tesla P40 at +0.5%, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at -0.9%, showing the RTX 4090's dominance in raw compute. For Undisputed, this GPU headroom means the title's visual effects—including dynamic shadows, crowd animations, and ring-side detail—can run at maximum settings without compromising frame rates.
