# Undisputed: Intel Core i7-14700KF + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

The Intel Core i7-14700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti delivers exceptional performance in Undisputed, a sports title that clearly favors high-refresh-rate play. The measured data shows this combination sits at rank 142 out of 1580 tested configurations, placing it in the top 9% of all hardware combos for this game. The CPU, with its 20 cores and 28 threads boosted up to 5.60 GHz, ranks in the 96th percentile among all processors, while the GPU, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, sits in the 87th percentile for all GPUs. This pairing produces frame rates that range from a playable 82.7 FPS at 4K Ultra to a staggering 459.5 FPS at 1080p Low, indicating a system with substantial headroom across the entire resolution and settings spectrum.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals a system that becomes progressively GPU-bound as resolution increases, though even at 4K the RTX 5070 Ti maintains excellent performance. At High settings, the transition from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces average FPS from 274.9 to 195.8, a 28.8% decrease, while moving from 1440p to 3840x2160 brings the average down to 123.1, a further 37.1% reduction from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU that has ample bandwidth—the 896.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 256-bit bus allow the card to feed its 8960 shading units efficiently even as pixel count quadruples from 1080p to 4K.

At Ultra settings, the scaling is even more pronounced, with 1080p producing 178.6 FPS, 1440p dropping to 127.9 FPS (a 28.4% reduction), and 4K falling to 82.7 FPS (a 35.3% reduction from 1440p). The consistency of these percentage drops across settings suggests the limiting component shifts smoothly from CPU at low resolutions to GPU at high resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 459.5 FPS result indicates the CPU can feed frames far faster than the GPU can render them, making the RTX 5070 Ti the limiting factor even at this modest resolution. The 4K Low result of 209.8 FPS versus the 1080p Low result of 459.5 FPS demonstrates a 54.3% reduction, confirming that resolution scaling has a substantial impact on this configuration's output.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070 Ti's role in Undisputed is characterized by its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and clock speeds of 2295 MHz base and 2452 MHz boost. The 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, manufactured on TSMC's 5 nm process, provide the compute horsepower necessary for the game's physics and rendering workloads. The GPU's 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores contribute to its 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 performance, which translates directly into high frame rates even at demanding settings. The memory operates at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, delivering the 896.0 GB/s bandwidth that prevents bandwidth starvation at 4K Ultra where the card still manages 82.7 FPS.

Comparing the GPU to its nearest rivals in the benchmark database, the RTX 5070 Ti's average benchmark score of 52086 sits essentially tied with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 at 52085 (0 deltaPct), while the AMD Radeon RX 7700S scores 52505 (0.8% higher) and the NVIDIA RTX A1000 scores 50826 (2.5% lower). These margins are negligible in real-world gaming, but the Undisputed data shows the RTX 5070 Ti performing strongly, particularly at 1440p where it exceeds 195 FPS on High settings. The GPU's 96 ROPs and 280 TMUs ensure efficient pixel and texture throughput, while the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface provides ample bandwidth for CPU-GPU communication, which is critical for a game that shows CPU sensitivity at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data indicates that High settings offer the optimal balance between visual fidelity and performance across all three resolutions. At 4K, High settings deliver 123.1 FPS, which is 48.8% faster than Ultra's 82.7 FPS while remaining 17.9% slower than Medium's 149.9 FPS. The jump from Medium to High costs only 17.9% performance at 4K, making High the sweet spot for players with 4K displays. At 1440p, High settings produce 195.8 FPS, which exceeds the refresh rate of most high-end monitors, while Ultra drops to 127.9 FPS—still excellent but 34.7% slower. For competitive play at 1080p, High settings at 274.9 FPS provide a significant margin over the 240 Hz refresh rate common in esports displays, while Low settings at 459.5 FPS would only benefit players with 360 Hz or higher monitors.

Ultra settings should be reserved for players who prioritize visual quality over frame rate, as the 4K Ultra result of 82.7 FPS remains above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay but lacks the headroom for high-refresh-rate displays. Low settings at 1080p produce 459.5 FPS, but this comes at a substantial visual cost that likely outweighs the benefit for most players, given that High settings already deliver 274.9 FPS—a 40.2% reduction in frames but a massive improvement in visual quality. The data suggests Medium settings provide a middle ground at 327.7 FPS at 1080p, 239 FPS at 1440p, and 149.9 FPS at 4K, all of which are eminently playable.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the configuration delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings produce 459.5 FPS average, Medium settings yield 327.7 FPS, High settings achieve 274.9 FPS, and Ultra settings still manage 178.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 61.1% reduction in performance, indicating that each step up in settings has a measurable impact on frame rate. The 1080p results demonstrate that this hardware combination is never CPU-limited at this resolution, with even the most demanding settings staying well above the refresh rate of typical gaming monitors.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains exceptional but shows the expected reduction from 1080p. Low settings deliver 335.2 FPS, Medium settings produce 239 FPS, High settings achieve 195.8 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 127.9 FPS. The 1440p results are particularly notable for High settings, which at 195.8 FPS are only 28.8% slower than the 1080p result, suggesting the GPU has sufficient headroom for this resolution without compromising the high-refresh experience. The jump from High to Ultra at 1440p costs 34.7% performance, making Ultra a less attractive option at this resolution unless visual quality is paramount.

At 3840x2160, the performance remains competitive, with Low settings producing 209.8 FPS, Medium settings achieving 149.9 FPS, High settings delivering 123.1 FPS, and Ultra settings falling to 82.7 FPS. The 4K results show that even at the highest resolution, this configuration can maintain frame rates above 60 FPS at all settings, with High settings providing a comfortable 123.1 FPS for 4K gaming. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K represents a 60.6% reduction, similar to the 1080p scaling, indicating consistent performance characteristics across resolutions. When comparing across resolutions at the same settings, the 4K Low result of 209.8 FPS is 37.4% slower than 1080p Low's 459.5 FPS, while 4K Ultra's 82.7 FPS is 53.7% slower than 1080p Ultra's 178.6 FPS.
