Undisputed

This analysis examines the measured performance of the Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the Intel Arc B570 in Undisputed. The data is derived from direct benchmarking of this specific combination, with the CPU holding a 68th percentile ranking among all tested CPUs and the GPU at the 65th percentile among all tested GPUs. The benchmark results provide a clear picture of how this mid-range pairing handles the boxing title across three resolutions and four quality presets.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers consistently high frame rates. The Low preset produces an average of 195 FPS, which is the highest figure recorded for this pairing across all tests. Stepping up to Medium yields an average of 141 FPS, with the measured minimum at 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS. The High preset drops to an average of 116 FPS, still well above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The most demanding setting, Ultra, maintains an average of 75 FPS, which remains comfortably playable. Notably, the data shows no min/max values recorded for the Low, High, and Ultra presets at this resolution, suggesting those runs were not captured with full frame-time data.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance scales predictably downward but retains solid playability across most presets. The Low preset averages 141 FPS, matching the 1080p Medium result precisely. Medium at 1440p averages 102 FPS, with a minimum of 86 FPS and maximum of 117 FPS. High averages 84 FPS, which is still 24 FPS above the playable threshold. The Ultra preset, however, falls to an average of 54 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target and the first instance of the pairing failing to maintain playable performance at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the performance envelope narrows considerably. The Low preset averages 89 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 141 FPS seen at 1440p Low. Medium averages 64 FPS, with a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS—this is the only 4K preset with full min/max data recorded. High averages 53 FPS, falling below the playable threshold. Ultra averages just 34 FPS, which represents the weakest performance point in the entire dataset. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is substantial: 89 FPS versus 34 FPS, a difference of 55 FPS.

The scaling pattern across resolutions shows that the 1080p to 1440p transition costs roughly 25-30% performance on average presets, while the 1440p to 4K transition costs an additional 35-40%. For example, High at 1080p averages 116 FPS, at 1440p it averages 84 FPS, and at 4K it averages 53 FPS. This consistent degradation indicates the GPU is the primary performance limiter as resolution increases.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the Intel Core i3-12100F and the Intel Arc B570 across different resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the CPU's capabilities are more prominently exercised, particularly at lower presets where frame rates exceed 140 FPS. The 4-core, 8-thread processor, with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz and 12 MB of shared L3 cache, demonstrates sufficient headroom to feed the GPU at these higher frame rates. The 141 FPS average at 1080p Medium and 195 FPS at 1080p Low suggest the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output at this resolution.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the balance shifts toward the GPU becoming the more significant factor. The average frame rates drop consistently across all presets, indicating that the Arc B570's rendering workload is increasing. The GPU's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus with 380.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes more relevant at this resolution. The fact that 1440p High still achieves 84 FPS while 1080p Ultra achieves 75 FPS shows that resolution scaling is not purely linear—the Ultra preset at 1080p is more demanding than High at 1440p, suggesting preset complexity can outweigh resolution in terms of GPU load.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the bottleneck. The Arc B570, with 2304 shading units and 80 ROPs, delivers 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This is insufficient to maintain 60 FPS on High settings at 4K, where the average falls to 53 FPS. The CPU's role diminishes at this resolution, as evidenced by the fact that even the Low preset at 4K (89 FPS) is lower than the High preset at 1440p (84 FPS)—the GPU's pixel and texture throughput limits are being reached. The GPU's pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s are the relevant specifications here, and they clearly cap performance below the CPU's potential.

The preset scaling further illustrates this dynamic. At 1080p, the jump from Low (195 FPS) to Ultra (75 FPS) represents a 61% performance reduction, which is a larger relative drop than the 50% reduction seen at 1440p (141 FPS to 54 FPS) or the 62% reduction at 4K (89 FPS to 34 FPS). This pattern indicates that at 1080p, both CPU and GPU are engaged, while at higher resolutions, the GPU's preset-dependent workload dominates the frame rate outcome.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i3-12100F provide context for its CPU-level performance. The Intel Core 3 N355 matches it almost exactly, with an average benchmark score of 13492 compared to the i3-12100F's 13494, a delta of 0%. The Intel Core i5-9500 trails by a mere 0.3% with a score of 13452, meaning users upgrading from that older six-core part would see negligible CPU-bound differences. The Intel Core 5 120UL is 0.7% faster at 13594, while the Intel Core i7-1250U sits 1.1% slower at 13351. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed when paired with the Arc B570, as the game's CPU demands are met by all of them.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, which scores 20534 versus the B570's 20556, a delta of 0.1% in favor of the Intel card. The Intel Arc A750 is essentially tied, scoring 20582, just 0.1% higher than the B570. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M is 0.4% slower at 20480, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X is 0.5% slower at 20662. For Undisputed specifically, these deltas translate to less than one frame per second difference in practice. A system with an RTX 3070 Mobile or Arc A750 would produce nearly identical results at each resolution and preset, meaning the measured FPS data above applies almost equally to those alternatives.

Notably, all four GPU rivals are either mobile parts or older desktop generations, which underscores the Arc B570's position as a capable desktop GPU that competes with hardware from previous generations. The 0.1% delta between the B570 and the RTX 3070 Mobile is particularly relevant, as it suggests the desktop B570 matches a high-end mobile GPU from NVIDIA's previous generation.

The Verdict

The Intel Core i3-12100F and Intel Arc B570 combination can run Undisputed at playable frame rates across most tested configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 75 FPS. This makes 1080p the most versatile resolution for this pairing, allowing users to enable maximum settings while maintaining a 15 FPS margin above the playability threshold.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is more nuanced. The Low, Medium, and High presets all achieve playable averages—141 FPS, 102 FPS, and 84 FPS respectively. However, the Ultra preset falls short at 54 FPS, which is 6 FPS below the 60 FPS target. Users at 1440p should avoid the Ultra preset unless they are willing to accept sub-60 FPS performance.

At 3840x2160, only two presets are playable. The Low preset averages 89 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 64 FPS, with a minimum of 55 FPS—meaning even the Medium preset can dip below 60 FPS during intense moments. The High and Ultra presets at 4K are not playable, with averages of 53 FPS and 34 FPS respectively. The verdictByResolution data confirms that Medium is the best playable setting at 4K, achieving 64 FPS average.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of Intel Core i3-12100F and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2986th out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 20% of all tested systems, which is consistent with the hardware's mid-range positioning. The CPU's 68th percentile ranking and the GPU's 65th percentile ranking suggest that while each component is slightly above average individually, their combination sits lower in the game-specific rankings.

The rank of 2986 out of 3718 means there are 732 tested combinations that perform worse, and 2985 combinations that perform better. This ranking reflects the fact that Undisputed is not an exceptionally demanding title, and many higher-end combinations will naturally outperform this pairing. However, the ranking also confirms that this is a functional gaming system, not a low-end one—the bottom quintile includes many older or entry-level parts that would struggle to maintain 60 FPS at any resolution.

The gap between the combo rank and the individual component percentiles (68th and 65th) indicates that the pairing is slightly less effective than the sum of its parts. This is likely due to the GPU's 8-lane PCIe 4.0 interface, which could theoretically limit performance in some scenarios, though the measured data shows no obvious bottlenecks in this game.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which delivers an average of 75 FPS. This is the most demanding preset available, and it clears the 60 FPS threshold by a comfortable 25% margin. Users should have no hesitation enabling Ultra at this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the best settings are High, averaging 84 FPS. While Medium also clears 60 FPS at 102 FPS average, High provides significantly better visual quality while still maintaining 24 FPS of headroom above the playability threshold. The Ultra preset at 54 FPS is not viable, so High represents the optimal balance.

For 3840x2160, the best settings are Medium, averaging 64 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that clears the 60 FPS threshold, and it does so with a narrow 4 FPS margin. The minimum recorded FPS of 55 means there will be occasional dips below 60 FPS, but the average stays playable. Low at 4K averages 89 FPS but sacrifices significant visual quality, making Medium the recommended choice despite its tighter margin.
