Undisputed

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of the Intel Core i5-12400 and Intel Arc B370 in Undisputed shows a clear hierarchy based on resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest performance. Low settings produce an average of 115 FPS, Medium settings average 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS, and High settings average 68 FPS. Ultra settings drop significantly to an average of 44 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance scales down as expected. Low settings average 83 FPS, Medium settings average exactly 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS, and High settings average 49 FPS. Ultra settings again take a sharp hit, averaging only 32 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution is the best playable option, matching the playable threshold precisely.

At 3840x2160, the combination struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings average 52 FPS, Medium settings average 38 FPS with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS, High settings average 31 FPS, and Ultra settings average 20 FPS. None of these settings reach the 60 FPS threshold, meaning 4K playability is out of reach for this hardware pairing.

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: the gap between Low and Ultra is substantial. At 1080p, the difference between Low (115 FPS) and Ultra (44 FPS) is 71 FPS. At 1440p, that gap narrows to 51 FPS (83 vs. 32). At 4K, the gap is 32 FPS (52 vs. 20). The scaling suggests that the graphics load increases steeply with higher presets, and the Arc B370's performance envelope is quickly exceeded beyond Medium settings at higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU in this combo, the Intel Core i5-12400, sits near several alternatives in the database's average benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score is 18683, placing it in the 72nd percentile among all CPUs. The nearest rival is the AMD EPYC 7643, which scores 18697, a difference of only 0.1 percent. The Intel Core i7-1355U scores 18730, 0.3 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 scores 18811, 0.7 percent higher. The Intel Core i3-14100F scores 18519, which is 0.9 percent lower. These delta values are small, so any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame pacing in CPU-limited scenarios within Undisputed.

The GPU, the Intel Arc B370, has a much more limited competitive field. Its average benchmark score is 1184, placing it in the 5th percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals are all older or lower-tier parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, 0.2 percent higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5 percent higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7 percent higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4 percent lower. These deltas indicate that the Arc B370 performs in the same general band as these legacy GPUs in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, which is the only GPU benchmark recorded for it. For Undisputed specifically, the measured FPS data shows that this GPU is the primary limiter at higher resolutions and presets.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's ranking of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of Intel Core i5-12400 and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3429 out of 3718 total combinations. This places it in the lower percentile of tested systems, roughly in the bottom 8 percent. The rank reflects the GPU's low standing in the overall GPU percentile, as the CPU is comparatively stronger. The CPU sits at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs, while the GPU sits at the 5th percentile. The combination's rank in-game is driven almost entirely by the GPU's limited throughput.

The practical implication is that this combo will not compete with mid-range or high-end systems in Undisputed. However, the rank alone does not tell the full story. At 1080p with Low, Medium, or High settings, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold, which means it can handle the game well at standard monitor resolutions. The rank becomes more relevant at higher resolutions, where the GPU's limitations become apparent.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Undisputed? The answer depends on the resolution and settings you target. For 1920x1080, the verdict is positive. The database lists High, Low, and Medium as playable settings, with the best playable option being High at an average of 68 FPS. This clears the 60 FPS threshold with a small margin. Low settings reach 115 FPS and Medium reaches 83 FPS, both comfortably above the threshold.

For 2560x1440, the verdict is conditional. Low and Medium settings are playable, with Medium being the best playable option at an average of exactly 60 FPS. Low settings average 83 FPS, which gives more headroom. High settings at 49 FPS and Ultra at 32 FPS are not playable.

For 3840x2160, the verdict is negative. No settings are listed as playable. The highest average FPS at 4K is 52 FPS on Low settings, which falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all drop further, with Ultra averaging only 20 FPS.

The practical takeaway: if you play at 1080p, this system handles Undisputed well on high settings. If you play at 1440p, stick to Medium or Low for a smooth experience. Avoid 4K entirely unless you are willing to accept sub-60 FPS frame rates.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Intel Core i5-12400 and the Intel Arc B370 in Undisputed is heavily skewed toward the GPU. The CPU is a 6-core, 12-thread Alder Lake part with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz and an 18 MB shared L3 cache. Its benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15989 and a single-core score of 2257, indicate it has ample processing power for a sports game like Undisputed. The GPU, however, is the bottleneck.

Evidence for this comes from the scaling between resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system hits 115 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 83 FPS, a 28 percent reduction. At 4K Low, it drops to 52 FPS, a 37 percent reduction from 1440p. This steep decline with increasing resolution points directly at the GPU, since the CPU workload does not scale with resolution in the same way. The Arc B370's specs, including 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs, are modest, and its 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 performance is limited.

The preset scaling further confirms the GPU's role. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium reduces average FPS from 115 to 83, a 28 percent drop. Moving from Medium to High reduces it to 68, a further 18 percent drop. Moving from High to Ultra reduces it to 44, a 35 percent drop. These large swings with preset changes are characteristic of a GPU-limited system. The CPU's role becomes more relevant at lower resolutions and lower presets, where the frame rate is high enough to potentially expose CPU limits, but even at 1080p Low with 115 FPS, the CPU appears to keep up given its strong single-thread performance.

At 1440p and 4K, the CPU's role diminishes further. The frame rates at those resolutions are low enough that the GPU is clearly the limiting factor. The recorded data shows no evidence of CPU-related frame drops or minimum FPS anomalies that would indicate a CPU bottleneck. The minimum FPS values recorded at Medium settings (51 at 1440p, 32 at 4K, 70 at 1080p) are consistent with GPU-bound performance.
