Undisputed

The pairing of the Intel Core i3-12100F with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 creates a striking contrast in hardware generations and performance tiers. The data shows this combination produces exceptionally high frame rates in Undisputed, making it a potent, if lopsided, duo for this sports title. Benchmark results indicate a clear dominance of the GPU in driving output, but the CPU's role becomes more apparent as resolutions scale down.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination delivers staggering performance that far exceeds the demands of any standard display. The average frame rates begin at 508.6 FPS on Low settings, a figure that indicates the rendering pipeline is almost entirely unburdened. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 363.7 FPS, which is still an immense number. High settings produce 303.6 FPS, and even the most demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 194.7 FPS. These numbers suggest that at 1080p, the game is unlikely to present any challenge to the hardware, with the bottleneck potentially shifting to the CPU at these extreme frame rates.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance remains overwhelmingly high, though the scaling shows the expected impact of increased pixel count. The Low preset averages 365.8 FPS, a relatively modest decline from the 1080p figure. Medium settings deliver 264.7 FPS, while High settings are close behind at 220.6 FPS. The Ultra preset, which often introduces the heaviest effects, still averages 138.8 FPS. The pattern here is consistent: the RTX 5080 has ample headroom, and the i3-12100F is able to feed it sufficient data to sustain frame rates well above the playable threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU begins to show its workload more clearly. The Low preset still achieves an average of 231.5 FPS, which is a considerable drop from the 1440p result but still incredibly fast. Medium settings yield 167.8 FPS, and High settings follow at 138.6 FPS. The Ultra preset, which now applies the full suite of graphical effects at 4K resolution, produces an average of 90.7 FPS. While this is the lowest average recorded for the combination, it remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold. The data across all resolutions and presets shows no instances where the frame rate dips below a playable level.

How This Combo Ranks

The measured performance places this specific CPU-GPU combination at rank 194 out of 3718 tested combos for Undisputed. This ranking in the 95th percentile of all tested systems indicates that this pairing is among the top performers for this game. The high rank is a direct consequence of the RTX 5080's immense rendering power, which is the primary driver of the exceptional frame rates. The i3-12100F, while not a top-tier processor, provides enough single-thread performance to avoid becoming a significant limiting factor at most settings, as evidenced by the high average scores. The data suggests that while the CPU is modest, the GPU's strength is so overwhelming in this title that the overall combination still lands in a very elite tier. The rank confirms the GPU's capabilities, even when paired with a budget-oriented processor.

A: The Ultra preset is the best option, as it achieves an average of 138.8 FPS at 2560x1440, which is the highest playable setting listed.

Q: How does the performance scale from 1080p to 4K on the Ultra preset?

A: The average frame rate on Ultra settings decreases from 194.7 FPS at 1920x1080 to 138.8 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 90.7 FPS at 3840x2160. This shows a steady decline as resolution increases.

Q: Is the Intel Core i3-12100F a bottleneck for the RTX 5080 in this game?

A: The data suggests the CPU is not a significant bottleneck at higher resolutions. At 4K, the frame rates are still very high, indicating the GPU is the primary limiter. At 1080p, the extremely high frame rates could indicate a CPU limitation, but it still exceeds 190 FPS on Ultra.

Q: What is the frame rate difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1440p?

A: The average frame rate at 2560x1440 on Low settings is 365.8 FPS, while on Ultra settings it is 138.8 FPS. This represents a significant drop of over 200 FPS when enabling the highest graphical presets.

Q: Which resolution provides the highest average frame rate on High settings?

A: The highest average on High settings is 303.6 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080. The average drops to 220.6 FPS at 2560x1440 and 138.6 FPS at 3840x2160.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for the CPU, the Intel Core i3-12100F has an average benchmark score of 13494. The Intel Core 3 N355, with an average score of 13492, is virtually identical in performance, showing a delta of 0%. The Intel Core i5-9500 is also very close, with a score of 13452 and a delta of 0.3%. These processors would behave in a nearly identical fashion to the i3-12100F in this game, meaning they would likely not change the overall performance outcome when paired with the RTX 5080. The Intel Core 5 120UL and Intel Core i7-1250U are also within a 1.1% delta, indicating that any of these CPUs would produce similar results in Undisputed, leaving the GPU as the dominant factor.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 has an average benchmark score of 56083. Its closest rival, the AMD Radeon 8060S, scores 55757, a delta of 0.6%, making it a near-performance equivalent. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is also very close, with a score of 55698 and a delta of 0.7%. These two cards would produce nearly identical frame rates in this game. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X is slightly further behind with a 2.3% delta, while the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE is ahead by 2.2%, indicating it would offer a marginal performance increase over the RTX 5080. For a user considering alternatives, swapping the RTX 5080 for any of these near-identical cards would result in essentially the same experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the data identifies the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset is the best option, achieving an average of 90.7 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it comfortably clears the playability threshold. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is also the best choice, with an average of 138.8 FPS. The higher pixel density is handled easily by the hardware. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset again provides the best visual experience, delivering an average of 194.7 FPS. In all cases, the combination is so powerful that it can run the game at its maximum visual quality without dropping below 60 FPS.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: this PC can run Undisputed at the highest playable settings at every resolution tested. The verdict by resolution confirms that all four settings presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are playable at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080. The best settings at each resolution are always Ultra, with average frame rates of 90.7 FPS at 4K, 138.8 FPS at 1440p, and 194.7 FPS at 1080p. This means the system not only clears the 60 FPS threshold but does so with a significant margin, even under the most demanding graphical load. The performance headroom is substantial, suggesting that the game will run flawlessly on this hardware configuration.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance data reveals a clear division of labor between the CPU and GPU across different resolutions. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant factor. The average frame rate drops from 231.5 FPS on Low to 90.7 FPS on Ultra, a decline of 140.8 FPS. This significant scaling with settings indicates the rendering load is the primary constraint, meaning the RTX 5080's capabilities determine the final output. The CPU's role is less critical, as the game is likely more reliant on the GPU to process the high-resolution frames.

As the resolution decreases to 2560x1440, the GPU's workload lessens, but it remains the main driver. The scaling from Low (365.8 FPS) to Ultra (138.8 FPS) is still substantial, showing that settings matter greatly. At 1920x1080, the CPU's influence becomes more apparent. The frame rates are exceptionally high, with Low settings hitting 508.6 FPS. At this level, the CPU may begin to limit the maximum frame rate, as the GPU could be capable of producing even more frames if fed data faster. The pattern suggests that at lower resolutions, the i3-12100F's role in frame generation becomes proportionally more important, potentially capping the absolute maximum output. However, even in this scenario, the performance is so high that the CPU is not a practical bottleneck for any real-world display.
