Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers a performance profile in Undisputed that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics settings. The measured data reveals a system capable of exceptional frame rates at 1080p, but one where the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution and visual fidelity increase. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, scaling behavior, and overall ranking of this combination.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is significant and clearly illustrates the shifting bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 405.7 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low yields 292.1 FPS, a reduction of 113.6 FPS (approximately 28%). Jumping to 4K Low further reduces the average to 185.7 FPS, which is a 54% drop from the 1080p figure. This steep decline indicates that even at the lowest settings, the GPU is being pushed harder as pixel count increases.

The scaling trend becomes even more pronounced at higher settings. With Ultra settings, the 1080p average of 154.2 FPS falls to 110.2 FPS at 1440p, a 44 FPS decrease. The 4K Ultra result of 73.2 FPS represents a 52.5% reduction from the 1080p Ultra score. The data shows that the frame rate penalty for moving from 1440p to 4K is substantial across all settings, while the penalty from 1080p to 1440p is relatively smaller, particularly at Low and Medium settings.

This pattern suggests that at 1080p, the Intel Core i7-14700KF, with its 20 cores and 28 threads, is capable of feeding frames faster than the RTX 5070 can render them at lower resolutions. However, the GPU's workload scales directly with resolution. The 4K results, especially at Ultra (73.2 FPS), show the graphics card operating near its limits. Conversely, the 1080p Low result of 405.7 FPS suggests the CPU may be the limiting factor at that extreme, as the GPU would likely be capable of even higher output if the processor could keep up. Overall, the data indicates a balanced system at 1440p, with the GPU becoming the clear bottleneck at 4K and the CPU potentially limiting at 1080p Low.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is the central component in determining frame rates at higher resolutions and quality settings. Its 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus provides a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s, which is crucial for handling the texture and geometry data at 4K. The benchmark results show that the GPU's workload is the dominant factor in the FPS differences between settings at a given resolution.

The GPU's clock behavior, with a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz, does not directly correlate with the measured FPS in a linear fashion. Instead, the data shows that the settings level has a more profound impact. For instance, at 1440p, the difference between Low (292.1 FPS) and Medium (209.3 FPS) is 82.8 FPS, while the difference between High (172.6 FPS) and Ultra (110.2 FPS) is 62.4 FPS. This suggests that the more demanding settings, such as Ultra, are invoking heavier use of the GPU's shading units (6144) and ray tracing cores (48), leading to a disproportionate performance cost.

The RTX 5070's role is further clarified by the 4K results. The gap between 4K Low (185.7 FPS) and 4K High (111.2 FPS) is 74.5 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU is the primary arbiter of performance at this resolution. The 4K Ultra result of 73.2 FPS, while still playable, indicates that the graphics card is heavily loaded. The GPU's 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is the raw compute resource being taxed by these settings. The data supports the conclusion that the RTX 5070 is a capable 4K performer for this title, but it is not so powerful that it can maintain high frame rates with Ultra settings at that resolution without significant compromise.

FAQ

Q: What is the average FPS at 1080p with High settings?

A: The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings is 243.4 FPS.

Q: How does the performance at 4K Ultra compare to 4K Low?

A: The 4K Ultra average is 73.2 FPS, which is a substantial drop from the 4K Low average of 185.7 FPS. This represents a performance reduction of over 60% when moving from the lowest to the highest quality preset at 4K.

• Medium: The average FPS is 136.5.
• High: The average FPS is 111.2.
• Ultra: The average FPS is 73.2.

These figures show a consistent hierarchy. The frame rate decreases predictably as resolution increases and as settings are moved from Low to Ultra. The differences between settings are more pronounced at lower resolutions, suggesting that the CPU and GPU are both contributing to performance. At 4K, the differences between settings are still large but the absolute values are lower, confirming the GPU's dominant role.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is ranked 325 out of 1580 combinations. This position places it in the upper quintile of all tested systems, indicating strong overall performance in this game.

The CPU itself is a high-performing part, sitting in the 96th percentile against all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i7-14700K, which has a negligible performance delta of 0%, and the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X, which is 0.4% faster on average. This suggests that the i7-14700KF is delivering near-top-tier processing power, which is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU in most scenarios.

The GPU, while ranking in the 83rd percentile against all GPUs, has a more varied competitive landscape. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, which is 0.6% slower on average, and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300, which is 0.2% faster. This data indicates that the RTX 5070 provides performance that is competitive with previous generation flagship cards, even if its overall benchmark percentile is lower than the CPU's.

The combination of a top-5% CPU and a high-80s percentile GPU results in a system that is well-balanced for Undisputed. The top-21% ranking in-game reflects that while the GPU is not the absolute fastest available, it is more than sufficient to pair with the high-end CPU to deliver excellent frame rates, particularly at 1440p and below. The rank of 325 suggests that there are 324 other combinations that achieve higher average frame rates, likely featuring even more powerful GPUs, but this combo still outperforms the vast majority of tested systems, making it a strong performer for this sports title.
