The 1080p results show a 61% reduction from Low to Ultra, but the absolute numbers are so high that even Ultra settings leave substantial performance headroom. Notably, the minimum FPS values recorded for Medium settings at each resolution—134 FPS at 4K, 212 FPS at 1440p, and 293 FPS at 1080p—all exceed the 60 FPS threshold by wide margins, confirming consistent frame delivery without major dips.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Undisputed, and it does so with exceptional performance across all tested configurations. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: at 3840x2160, the playable settings include Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, with Ultra being the best settings and averaging 84 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 133 FPS. At 1920x1080, again all presets are playable, with Ultra reaching 184 FPS average.

The data indicates that this combination never approaches the 60 FPS playability threshold at any resolution or preset, even at 4K Ultra where performance drops to 84 FPS. The RTX 4080's 16 GB of GDDR6X memory and 716.8 GB/s bandwidth provide ample resources for 4K textures, while the i3-12100F's 12 MB of L3 cache and 4.30 GHz boost clock sustain the high frame rates observed. Given that the GPU's average benchmark score of 54,247 places it in the 86th percentile of all GPUs, and the CPU's 68th percentile ranking, this pairing delivers far more performance than Undisputed requires.

For players with 4K displays, Ultra settings are recommended without compromise. For 1440p and 1080p displays, the same conclusion applies—Ultra settings provide the best visual experience while maintaining frame rates that exceed 120 FPS. The only consideration is that at 1080p Low settings, the 479 FPS result suggests the CPU may limit frame rates below what the GPU could theoretically deliver, but this is irrelevant for actual gameplay since no display can show these frame rates meaningfully.
