Undisputed

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 delivers a remarkably high-performance experience in Undisputed, with benchmark data showing every resolution and preset combination tested exceeding the 60 FPS playability threshold. Measured results place this combo in the 873rd position out of 3718 tested combinations, indicating that while it is not the absolute top-tier configuration, it sits comfortably within the upper quartile of systems capable of running this sports title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces exceptional frame rates across all settings. The Low preset averages 374.5 FPS, which drops to 269.3 FPS on Medium, 222.6 FPS on High, and 141.9 FPS on Ultra. These figures suggest that at 1080p, the system has enormous headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, with even the most demanding Ultra preset delivering more than double the required frame rate. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial — approximately 62% lower performance at Ultra — but the absolute numbers remain far beyond what competitive play requires.

Moving to 2560x1440, the pattern continues with equally impressive results. Low settings produce 272.1 FPS, Medium delivers 196.1 FPS, High reaches 160.5 FPS, and Ultra still maintains 104.1 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows a predictable reduction in frame rates, with Ultra dropping by roughly 27% compared to the 1080p Ultra result. Even at this higher resolution, the system never approaches the 60 FPS floor, suggesting that the RTX 4070 has substantial rendering capacity for this title.

At 3840x2160, the performance remains highly playable but begins to show the strain of 4K rendering. Low settings produce 170.9 FPS, Medium yields 122.8 FPS, High drops to 102.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 68.4 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only measured scenario that comes close to the 60 FPS threshold, though it still clears it by a comfortable 14%. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K represents a 60% performance reduction, which is the steepest drop-off across all resolutions tested. Notably, the data provides only average FPS figures without minimum or maximum values, so frame time consistency cannot be assessed from these benchmarks alone.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the i3-12100F and RTX 4070 achieves a combo rank of 873 out of 3718 tested configurations in Undisputed. This places the system in the 76th percentile of all tested combos, meaning it outperforms roughly three-quarters of the hardware pairings evaluated for this game. The ranking reflects the strong contribution of the RTX 4070, which sits at the 81st percentile among all GPUs, while the i3-12100F holds a more modest 68th percentile position among CPUs.

The disparity between the GPU's high percentile ranking and the CPU's lower standing suggests that the graphics card is doing the heavy lifting in this pairing. For a sports title like Undisputed, which typically relies more heavily on GPU throughput than CPU compute, this imbalance proves beneficial rather than limiting. The combo rank of 873 indicates that many higher-end CPU and GPU pairings exist, but the actual FPS results show that this particular combination exceeds the requirements of the game so thoroughly that the rank becomes somewhat academic — the system delivers playable performance at every setting and resolution tested.

The Verdict

The benchmark data clearly demonstrates that this PC can run Undisputed with authority at every resolution and preset tested. According to the verdict by resolution, all three resolutions — 1920x1080, 2560x1440, and 3840x2160 — list High, Low, Medium, and Ultra as playable settings, meaning every configuration clears the 60 FPS threshold. The best playable settings at each resolution are Ultra, with average FPS values of 141.9 at 1080p, 104.1 at 1440p, and 68.4 at 4K. Even at the most demanding combination of 4K resolution with Ultra presets, the system maintains a comfortable margin above the playability floor. For users with high refresh rate monitors, the 1080p and 1440p results at Medium and High settings provide ample frame rates to take advantage of 144Hz or even 240Hz displays, though the data does not specify refresh rate compatibility beyond the raw FPS figures.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling between resolutions and presets reveals an interesting division of labor between the i3-12100F and the RTX 4070. At 1920x1080, the CPU's four cores and eight threads appear to be the limiting factor, as the GPU is capable of producing extremely high frame rates — the 374.5 FPS result at Low settings suggests the graphics card is not being fully utilized at this resolution. The relatively modest 62% drop from Low to Ultra at 1080p indicates that settings changes have a significant impact, but the absolute numbers remain high enough that neither component is severely stressed.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly toward the GPU, as the increased pixel count begins to tax the RTX 4070 more heavily. The performance reduction from 1080p to 1440p ranges from 27% at Ultra to 27% at Low, showing consistent scaling that suggests both components are working more in tandem. The 4K results tell a clearer story: the 60% drop from Low to Ultra at 3840x2160 demonstrates that the GPU is now the dominant factor, with the resolution increase placing substantial demands on the graphics card's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 5888 shading units. The CPU's role diminishes at higher resolutions, as the frame rate becomes increasingly bound by the GPU's rendering throughput rather than the processor's compute capabilities.

Best Settings per Resolution

For users targeting 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 141.9 FPS average, making it the most demanding setting that stays well above 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings produce 104.1 FPS average, again providing a substantial margin above the playability threshold. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset achieves 68.4 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS requirement but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes. In all three cases, the best playable settings correspond to the highest quality preset available, meaning users can enjoy maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing playability. The data indicates that even at 4K Ultra, the system maintains an 8.4 FPS cushion above the threshold, which should accommodate typical in-game frame time variations, though the absence of minimum FPS data means this cannot be guaranteed as a hard floor.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the i3-12100F, the Intel Core 3 N355 posts an average benchmark score of 13492, essentially identical to the i3-12100F's 13494 with a 0% delta. The Intel Core i5-9500 scores 13452, just 0.3% lower, while the Intel Core 5 120UL achieves 13594, representing a 0.7% advantage over the i3-12100F. The Intel Core i7-1250U trails slightly with 13351, a 1.1% deficit. These four alternatives would behave nearly identically to the i3-12100F in Undisputed, suggesting that users with any of these CPUs in combination with an RTX 4070 would see comparable FPS results.

For the RTX 4070, the nearest rival is the NVIDIA Tesla P4 with an average score of 37628, just 0.1% behind the RTX 4070's 37648. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507, a 0.4% difference, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile achieves 38135, representing a 1.3% advantage. The AMD Radeon PRO W6400 trails with 37157, a 1.3% deficit. Given these minimal performance deltas, pairing an i3-12100F with any of these alternative GPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable results in Undisputed, though the RTX 4070's specific feature set and driver optimizations may influence actual in-game behavior beyond the synthetic benchmark scores.
