Undisputed

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 is a remarkably capable combination for Undisputed, ranking in the 1632nd position out of 3718 tested combos. This places the pairing in the top 44% of all tested systems, and the benchmark data shows it delivers well over 60 FPS at nearly every resolution and preset combination tested. The only exception is 4K Ultra settings, where the average frame rate dips below the 60 FPS playable threshold, making this a high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p machine that can still handle 4K at reduced settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 1632 out of 3718 places this configuration in the upper-middle tier of all tested systems for Undisputed. This is a strong result considering the CPU is a 4-core/8-thread part from Intel’s 12th-generation Alder Lake family, while the GPU is a previous-generation Ampere architecture card. The data indicates that the RTX 3070 is doing most of the heavy lifting, as the GPU’s average benchmark score of 17208 places it in the 61st percentile of all GPUs, well above the CPU’s 68th percentile standing among all CPUs.

The CPU’s average benchmark score of 13494 places it in the 68th percentile, with its nearest rival being the Intel Core 3 N355 at a nearly identical score of 13492 (0% delta). The Intel Core i5-9500 is also close at 13452 (0.3% ahead of the i3-12100F), while the Intel Core 5 120UL sits slightly higher at 13594 (-0.7% delta from the i3). This means the processor’s performance is squarely in line with mid-range desktop and mobile parts, which is more than sufficient for a sports title like Undisputed that relies heavily on GPU throughput.

The RTX 3070, meanwhile, holds its own against its nearest rivals. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT scores 17083, which is 0.7% behind the RTX 3070’s 17208 average. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (17037, 1% behind) and AMD Radeon HD 7970M (17019, 1.1% behind) are also comparable in raw benchmark score, though these are older architectures that would likely not offer the same feature set or driver support in a modern title. The NVIDIA Tesla K40c scores 17468, which is 1.5% ahead of the RTX 3070, but this is a compute-focused card without the gaming-specific optimizations of the GeForce lineup.

What these numbers collectively indicate is that the combo sits in a sweet spot: the CPU does not bottleneck the GPU in this game, and the GPU has ample headroom to push high frame rates at mainstream resolutions. The rank of 1632 versus 3718 combos is a percentile ranking of roughly 44%, but it is important to note that this includes systems with far more expensive CPUs and GPUs that may not translate to better performance in a game like Undisputed, which is not particularly CPU-intensive.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Intel Core i3-12100F’s average benchmark score of 13494 places it directly alongside several processors that would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance. The Intel Core 3 N355 (score 13492, 0% delta) is the closest match, offering the same level of multi-threaded performance. The Intel Core i5-9500 (13452, 0.3% ahead) is a slightly older 6-core part that would behave similarly in a game like Undisputed, though it has fewer threads. The Intel Core 5 120UL (13594, -0.7% from the i3) and Intel Core i7-1250U (13351, 1.1% behind) are also in the same performance envelope, though these are lower-power mobile or hybrid parts that may have different sustained performance characteristics.

For the GPU, the RTX 3070’s nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, which scores 17083 against the RTX 3070’s 17208 — a 0.7% difference that would be imperceptible in actual gameplay. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 (17037, 1% behind) and AMD Radeon HD 7970M (17019, 1.1% behind) also show similar aggregate scores, but these are older architectures that lack modern features like hardware ray tracing and DirectX 12 Ultimate support, so they would not be recommended as direct alternatives for a current game. The NVIDIA Tesla K40c (17468, 1.5% ahead) is a compute card not intended for gaming.

In practice, a system with an RX 7600 XT would deliver frame rates within a fraction of a percent of the RTX 3070 in this title, while a CPU swap to the Core i5-9500 or Core 3 N355 would not change the overall experience because the game is GPU-bound at the tested settings.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Undisputed, and it does so with significant headroom. The verdict by resolution is clear: at 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable, with the best settings being Ultra at an average of 115.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, again all four presets clear 60 FPS, with Ultra being the best playable setting at 87 FPS. At 3840x2160, three of the four presets (Low, Medium, High) are playable, with High being the best setting at 81.4 FPS; Ultra falls short at 52.1 FPS.

The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the data shows this combo exceeds it by a wide margin at 1080p and 1440p, and even at 4K on High settings. For a 4K display, users should stick to High settings for a smooth experience, while 1440p and 1080p users can max out the game at Ultra without concern. The system is best described as a high-performance 1080p and 1440p machine that can also handle 4K with a modest settings reduction.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates. Low settings average 310 FPS, Medium averages 219.7 FPS, High averages 181.9 FPS, and Ultra averages 115.9 FPS. All of these are far above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the most demanding preset nearly doubling the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong. Low settings average 223.7 FPS, Medium averages 159 FPS, High averages 131 FPS, and Ultra averages 87 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only one below 100 FPS, but it still comfortably clears the 60 FPS threshold by 27 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its limits. Low settings average 140.8 FPS, Medium averages 99.4 FPS, High averages 81.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 52.1 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only tested configuration that fails to reach 60 FPS, falling 7.9 FPS short of the playable threshold.

The data shows a consistent scaling pattern: each step from Low to Ultra reduces average frame rate by a predictable margin, and the gap between Medium and High is smaller than the gap between High and Ultra. This suggests that the Ultra preset includes a significant increase in GPU load compared to High, which is why 4K Ultra is the only unplayable configuration.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 115.9 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 1080p users seeking maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is also Ultra, averaging 87 FPS. This leaves 27 FPS of headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, providing a buffer for demanding scenes or future driver updates.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding playable setting is High, averaging 81.4 FPS. Ultra is not viable at 4K, as it drops to 52.1 FPS. Users with 4K displays should select High for a smooth experience, or drop to Medium (99.4 FPS) for additional headroom, though High already provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold.
