Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-12400 paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a playable experience in Undisputed across most resolution and preset combinations. Measured data shows the combo ranks 2835th out of 3718 tested configurations, placing it in the lower 24% of the database. Despite that ranking, the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at 1080p and 1440p on every preset, and at 4K on High, Medium, and Low. The CPU carries a launch MSRP of $199, and the GPU a launch MSRP of $249.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results provide average FPS for three resolutions and four quality presets. Minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded, so the analysis relies on average values alone.

At 3840×2160, the system produces 99.4 FPS on Low, 75.0 FPS on Medium, 62.6 FPS on High, and 42.2 FPS on Ultra. The drop from Low to Ultra is substantial—more than half the frame rate—and Ultra falls well below the 60 FPS threshold. High, Medium, and Low all remain above 60, making 4K playable at those settings.

Moving to 2560×1440, the averages are 156.9 FPS on Low, 115.9 FPS on Medium, 97.2 FPS on High, and exactly 60.0 FPS on Ultra. Every preset meets or exceeds the playable threshold, though Ultra sits precisely at the boundary. The scaling from Low to Ultra is 62% of the Low value, indicating that the GPU is heavily taxed by the highest quality settings.

At 1920×1080, the system is clearly comfortable. Low averages 217.8 FPS, Medium 156.4 FPS, High 131.3 FPS, and Ultra 81.4 FPS. All presets are far above 60, with even the most demanding setting leaving headroom. The 1080p results show that the combination has ample performance for standard high-refresh-rate monitors, provided the user accepts lower presets for very high refresh rates.

Overall, the measured data shows a consistent pattern: as resolution increases, the average FPS drops sharply, and as settings increase, the frame rate decreases predictably. The Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that fails to reach 60 FPS.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Undisputed at 4K Ultra settings?*

A: No. The measured average FPS at 3840×2160 Ultra is 42.2, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 2560×1440?

A: Ultra, which averages exactly 60.0 FPS. High, Medium, and Low also exceed 60, but Ultra is the most demanding preset that still meets the threshold.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B580 compare to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 in general benchmarks?

A: The Arc B580 has an average benchmark score of 23021, while the RTX 3080 scores 23172. The delta is -0.7%, meaning the B580 is 0.7% behind the RTX 3080 in average performance across all tested workloads.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more limiting for this game?

A: The data shows that FPS scales strongly with resolution and settings. For example, at 1080p Low the system reaches 217.8 FPS, but at 4K Low it drops to 99.4 FPS—a 54% reduction. This pattern indicates the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck as resolution increases.

Q: What is the combo's overall rank among tested systems?

A: The Intel Core i5-12400 + Intel Arc B580 ranks 2835th out of 3718 tested combos, placing it in the bottom 24% of the database.

Q: Does the CPU include integrated graphics?

A: Yes, the i5-12400 has Intel UHD Graphics 730, but it is not used in the measured FPS data, which relies on the discrete Arc B580.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling reveals which component dominates under different conditions. At 1080p Low, the system produces 217.8 FPS—a very high frame rate that suggests the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU. As settings increase to Ultra at 1080p, the frame rate falls to 81.4 FPS, a 63% reduction. This drop is largely due to increased GPU workload from more complex shading and post-processing effects.

When moving from 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS at Low drops from 217.8 to 156.9 (a 28% decrease), and at Ultra from 81.4 to 60.0 (a 26% decrease). The transition from 1440p to 4K is even steeper: Low falls from 156.9 to 99.4 (36% lower), and Ultra from 60.0 to 42.2 (30% lower). The consistent and substantial scaling with resolution indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at higher pixel counts. The CPU, a 6-core/12-thread Alder Lake part with a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, appears capable of sustaining high frame rates at lower resolutions, but the Arc B580 cannot keep up as pixel count grows.

Settings also play a major role. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 57.2 FPS (99.4 vs 42.2). This is a larger absolute drop than at 1080p, where the Low-to-Ultra gap is 136.4 FPS. The relative impact is similar (57% at 4K, 63% at 1080p), but the absolute numbers show that the GPU’s raw throughput is the decisive factor at high resolutions and high presets. In practical terms, the system is GPU-bound in most scenarios, with the CPU rarely limiting performance below 60 FPS except possibly at the highest settings on 1080p.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The i5-12400 has an average benchmark score of 18683, placing it in the 72nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals, based on average score, are the AMD EPYC 7643 (18697, -0.1%), Intel Core i7-1355U (18730, -0.3%), AMD Ryzen AI 5 330 (18811, -0.7%), and Intel Core i3-14100F (18519, +0.9%). All four are within 1% of the i5-12400’s average score, so in Undisputed they would likely produce similar CPU-bound behavior. The i3-14100F, for instance, is only 0.9% faster in average benchmarks and would offer nearly identical frame rates in this game, assuming the same GPU.

For the GPU, the Arc B580 averages 23021 points, which is the 68th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (23061, -0.2%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (22895, +0.6%), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (23172, -0.7%), and NVIDIA P106-100 (23249, -1%). The RTX 3080 is a much more expensive card in typical retail, but its average benchmark score is only 0.7% higher than the B580. In Undisputed, the RTX 3080 would likely deliver FPS within a few points of the B580 at the same settings. The RX 580 2048SP is an older card, yet its average score is 0.2% higher, suggesting that the B580’s game-specific performance may be comparable to that legacy part. These alternatives illustrate that the combo’s performance is not unique; several other CPU/GPU pairings would fall in the same performance band.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-12400 + Intel Arc B580 ranks 2835th out of 3718 tested combinations in Undisputed. This means it outperforms 883 combos and is outperformed by 2834. In percentile terms, the combo sits at the 23.7th percentile—better than roughly a quarter of all systems tested. The individual components have higher percentiles: the CPU is in the 72nd percentile and the GPU in the 68th percentile. The wide gap between component percentiles and the combo rank suggests that the pairing is not optimally balanced for this specific title, or that other factors such as driver optimization or game engine quirks pull the combined result down. Nevertheless, the rank is a factual data point; it does not negate the playable frame rates observed at most settings.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Undisputed comfortably at 1080p and 1440p. At 1920×1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—average above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 81.4 FPS. At 2560×1440, Ultra averages exactly 60.0 FPS, and the other presets are higher. At 3840×2160, High, Medium, and Low are playable, with High at 62.6 FPS; only Ultra falls below the threshold at 42.2 FPS. Therefore, the system is fully capable of delivering a smooth experience at 1080p and 1440p on the highest settings, and at 4K on High or lower. The only configuration that fails the 60 FPS test is 4K Ultra.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured averages, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution is:

• 1920×1080: Ultra, averaging 81.4 FPS.
• 2560×1440: Ultra, averaging 60.0 FPS.
• 3840×2160: High, averaging 62.6 FPS.

These settings represent the highest visual quality that still meets the playable threshold. At 1080p, Ultra offers a solid margin above 60, making it the recommended choice for most users. At 1440p, Ultra is exactly at the boundary—playable, but with no headroom for frame-time spikes. At 4K, High is the best option, providing a 2.6 FPS cushion. For users who prioritize frame rate stability over visual fidelity, lowering to Medium at 4K (75.0 FPS) or High at 1440p (97.2 FPS) would provide more safety margin. The data does not include minimum FPS, so the average values should be interpreted with caution; the exact 60.0 FPS at 1440p Ultra leaves little tolerance for demanding scenes.
