Undisputed

The Intel Core i9-14900K and AMD Radeon RX 7600 combination produces a wide spread of frame rates in Undisputed, ranging from 230.9 FPS at 1080p Low to 38.4 FPS at 4K Ultra. The scaling pattern across resolutions reveals a system where the GPU becomes the primary constraint as pixel count increases, while the high-end CPU ensures that even the most demanding settings remain playable at lower resolutions.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The transition from 1080p to 1440p at High settings shows a drop from 139 FPS to 98.2 FPS, a decrease of roughly 29%. Moving from 1440p to 4K at the same preset yields a further decline to 65 FPS, another 34% reduction. This pattern indicates that the Radeon RX 7600 is the limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the frame rate scales inversely with pixel throughput in a way that suggests GPU-bound rendering.

At Low settings, the resolution scaling is even more pronounced. The 1080p result of 230.9 FPS falls to 167.9 FPS at 1440p, and then to 105.8 FPS at 4K. The 4K Low result is less than half of the 1080p Low figure, which strongly implies that the graphics card’s compute and memory bandwidth are being saturated. The RX 7600’s 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory are likely the constraining factors at 4K, regardless of preset.

Ultra settings amplify this GPU limitation. The 61.8 FPS at 1440p Ultra is already below the 65 FPS achieved at 4K High, showing that the preset’s demands on the GPU outweigh the resolution’s impact in some cases. At 4K Ultra, the 38.4 FPS result confirms that this combo is not suited for maximum fidelity at the highest resolution, as the GPU struggles to maintain fluid motion.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Radeon RX 7600 operates with a base clock of 1720 MHz and a boost clock of 2655 MHz, with a game clock of 2250 MHz. These clock speeds, combined with 2048 shading units and 64 ROPs, produce the measured frame rates. The 8 GB memory capacity appears sufficient for 1080p and 1440p across all presets, but the 4K Ultra result of 38.4 FPS suggests that both memory capacity and bandwidth are strained at that resolution.

The GPU’s pixel rate of 169.9 GPixel/s and texture rate of 339.8 GTexel/s provide context for the scaling. At 4K, the fill rate requirements of Ultra settings likely exceed what the RX 7600 can deliver, explaining the steep drop from the 76.7 FPS at 4K Medium to the 38.4 FPS at 4K Ultra. The passmark G3D score of 16634 and the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2310 place this GPU in the 63rd percentile among all GPUs, confirming its mid-range positioning.

The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, which scores 0.6% higher, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 1.3% higher. These close margins suggest that the RX 7600 is competitive within its class, but the measured FPS data shows that Undisputed’s higher presets push it to its limits, particularly at 4K.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The data suggests that Medium settings offer the most balanced experience across resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 164.3 FPS, which is well above the 139 FPS at High and only slightly below the 230.9 FPS at Low. At 1440p Medium, the 121.5 FPS result remains smooth and is significantly higher than the 98.2 FPS at High, making Medium the practical choice for high refresh rate monitors at this resolution.

At 4K, Medium settings produce 76.7 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play. High settings at 4K yield 65 FPS, while Low settings jump to 105.8 FPS. For players prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity at 4K, Low is the only preset that consistently stays above 100 FPS. The Ultra preset is difficult to recommend at any resolution, as even at 1080p it only reaches 92.1 FPS, which is lower than the 4K Medium result.

The 1440p High result of 98.2 FPS is notable because it sits just below the 100 FPS threshold that many players consider smooth. Increasing to Medium at 1440p adds 23.3 FPS for a modest visual trade-off, making it the sweet spot for this combination. At 1080p, High at 139 FPS is sufficient for most displays, though Medium at 164.3 FPS provides extra headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are: Low at 230.9, Medium at 164.3, High at 139, and Ultra at 92.1. The spread from Low to Ultra is 138.8 FPS, showing that settings have a substantial impact at this resolution. The 92.1 FPS at Ultra is the only 1080p result below 100 FPS, indicating that the CPU has ample headroom while the GPU handles most of the workload.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low at 167.9, Medium at 121.5, High at 98.2, and Ultra at 61.8. The drop from Medium to High is 23.3 FPS, while the drop from High to Ultra is 36.4 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset is disproportionately demanding. The 61.8 FPS at 1440p Ultra is the lowest result at this resolution, and it falls below the 4K High result of 65 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low at 105.8, Medium at 76.7, High at 65, and Ultra at 38.4. The scaling from Low to Medium is a 29.1 FPS drop, from Medium to High is an 11.7 FPS drop, and from High to Ultra is a 26.6 FPS drop. The 38.4 FPS at 4K Ultra is the lowest measured result across all configurations, and it is less than one-sixth of the 1080p Low result.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i9-14900K features 24 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 3.20 GHz and a boost clock of 6.00 GHz. This processing power is reflected in synthetic benchmarks: the Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 49872, and the single-core score is 7040. The CPU’s percentile ranking of 97 among all CPUs indicates that it is near the top of the performance hierarchy, which explains why it does not bottleneck the RX 7600 in Undisputed.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks include the AMD EPYC 7413, which scores 0.3% lower, and the Intel Core i9-14900KF, which scores 0.7% higher. These marginal differences suggest that the i9-14900K is effectively at the performance ceiling for its socket and architecture. In the game, the CPU’s capabilities mean that even at 1080p Low, where the GPU is least stressed, the frame rate reaches 230.9 FPS without signs of CPU limitation.

The 36 MB of shared L3 cache and 2 MB per-core L2 cache provide ample data locality for game logic, while the DDR4 and DDR5 memory support allows for flexible system configurations. The CPU’s 125 W TDP and Intel Socket 1700 compatibility are notable for system planning, but the benchmark results indicate that the i9-14900K is not the limiting factor in this combo. The measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (92.1 FPS) is still GPU-bound, as the CPU has sufficient headroom to push higher if the graphics card allowed.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Intel Core i9-14900K and AMD Radeon RX 7600 ranks 1078 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the lower third of all configurations tested, which is consistent with the GPU’s mid-range positioning rather than the CPU’s high-end status. The rank suggests that while the CPU is among the best available, the RX 7600 holds the combo back in this specific game.

The GPU’s 63rd percentile ranking among all GPUs contrasts sharply with the CPU’s 97th percentile, highlighting the imbalance. In games like Undisputed, where the GPU is the primary driver of frame rate at higher settings, this combo’s rank reflects the GPU’s limitations. At 1080p Low, the combo is competitive, but at 4K Ultra, the 38.4 FPS result would likely place it near the bottom of the tested pool.

The rank of 1078 out of 1580 means that roughly 68% of tested combos perform better in Undisputed. This is not surprising given that the RX 7600 is a mid-range GPU, but it underscores the importance of matching CPU and GPU tiers. The i9-14900K could easily support a more powerful GPU, and pairing it with the RX 7600 leaves performance on the table at higher resolutions. For players using this combo, the data suggests that sticking to 1080p or 1440p with Medium or High settings is the optimal way to utilize the hardware, as the CPU’s power is not fully leveraged at higher resolutions.
