Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-12400F paired with the Intel Arc B370 presents a unique performance profile in Undisputed, one defined by a stark contrast between capable CPU throughput and entry-level graphics output. The recorded data shows a system that is entirely playable at mainstream resolutions, but which falls apart when pushed to higher pixel counts. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS, component roles, and practical settings for this combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for this combo in Undisputed provide a clear picture of its capabilities across three resolutions and four quality presets.

At 1920x1080, the system is at its strongest. The Low preset delivers an average of 115 FPS, which is a very high refresh rate result. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 83 FPS, with the recorded minimum at 70 FPS and maximum at 95 FPS. The High preset maintains a playable 68 FPS average, still comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset, however, brings the frame rate down to a 44 FPS average, which is the first sign of the GPU's limitations.

At 2560x1440, the results show a significant step down. The Low preset averages 83 FPS, which is still strong. The Medium preset hits exactly 60 FPS on average, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS, making it the boundary of playability. High drops to a 49 FPS average, and Ultra falls further to 32 FPS, both of which will feel less fluid in a fast-paced sports title.

The 3840x2160 results are largely below the playable threshold. At Low, the average is 52 FPS. Medium averages 38 FPS, with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS. High drops to 31 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 20 FPS. None of these 4K presets produce a consistently smooth experience.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates a workload that is heavily dominated by the GPU, particularly as resolution increases. The Intel Arc B370, with its 1280 shading units and 20 ROPs, is the clear limiting factor. The CPU, an Intel Core i5-12400F with 6 cores and 12 threads, offers ample processing power for this title, as evidenced by its strong synthetic scores like a Cinebench R23 multi-core result of 12380 and a single-core score of 1680.

The scaling between resolutions and presets confirms this. At 1080p, the system can reach 115 FPS on Low, suggesting the CPU can feed the GPU well at lower loads. However, the frame rate plummets at 4K, with the Ultra preset yielding only 20 FPS. This severe drop is a classic sign of the GPU being overwhelmed by the pixel fill rate and shading demands. The Arc B370's pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, figures that are simply too low for the 4K Ultra workload.

The CPU's role is more passive here. Since the frame rates drop so sharply at higher resolutions, the processor is not the bottleneck. The bottleneck shifts almost entirely to the Arc B370. At 1080p, the CPU is capable of pushing the GPU to its limits, but even then, the GPU's performance ceiling is reached before the CPU's potential is exhausted.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the recorded data and the 60 FPS playable threshold, the best settings for each resolution are as follows.

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is High, which achieves an average of 68 FPS. This is the most demanding setting that stays at or above 60 FPS. While Low and Medium also clear the threshold, High offers the best visual quality without sacrificing the target frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Medium, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. This is the highest quality setting that maintains a playable average, though the minimum of 51 FPS suggests some dips may occur during intense moments. The Low preset is the only other option that clears the threshold, averaging 83 FPS.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The Low preset comes closest with a 52 FPS average, but it still falls below the 60 FPS target. The data shows no settings at this resolution can deliver a consistent 60 FPS experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The overall ranking for this combo in Undisputed is quite low. The database places this configuration at rank 3429 out of 3718 tested combos. This places it in the bottom 8% of all tested systems, which is a direct consequence of the Intel Arc B370's limited performance.

The GPU's percentile versus all other GPUs is 5, meaning it outperforms only 5% of the graphics cards in the database. This is a very low standing. The CPU, on the other hand, is in the 73rd percentile versus all CPUs, showing it is a much stronger component relative to its peers. The combination of a mid-range CPU with a very low-end GPU skews the overall system ranking heavily towards the graphics card's performance.

This low rank is reflected in the frame rates. The combo's ability to only hit 68 FPS on High at 1080p, while a higher-ranked system might manage that on Ultra, demonstrates the performance gap. The Ultra preset at 1080p, which yields only 44 FPS, further highlights the GPU's weakness.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly.

For the Intel Core i5-12400F, the closest alternatives in the database are the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, the Intel Core 3 201E, the Intel Core i5-1335U, and the AMD EPYC 7773X. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS has an average score that is identical (a delta of 0 percent). The Intel Core 3 201E is 0.1 percent slower, while the Intel Core i5-1335U and AMD EPYC 7773X are both 0.3 percent faster. In gaming, these differences are negligible, so swapping the i5-12400F for any of these would result in nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Undisputed.

For the Intel Arc B370, the nearest rivals are all much older, lower-tier cards. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 is 0.2 percent slower, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 is 0.5 percent slower, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M is 0.7 percent slower, and the AMD FirePro M2000 is 1.4 percent faster. These deltas are all within a few percentage points, meaning any of these GPUs would produce frame rates in Undisputed that are nearly indistinguishable from the Arc B370's output. The performance class is the same, so users can expect similar struggles at higher resolutions.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Undisputed is a qualified yes, but only at specific settings and resolutions. The data from the verdict by resolution is clear.

At 1920x1080, the system is a solid performer. It can run High settings at a 68 FPS average, and it handles Medium at 83 FPS and Low at 115 FPS. This resolution is the sweet spot for this combo, offering a great balance of visual quality and smooth gameplay. The only preset to avoid is Ultra, which drops to 44 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system is just barely playable. It can run Medium at a 60 FPS average, though the minimum of 51 FPS indicates some frame drops are possible. The Low preset is a safer choice at 83 FPS if consistency is preferred. High and Ultra are not viable options, as they fall below the 60 FPS threshold.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot run the game at a playable frame rate. Every preset, from Low at 52 FPS to Ultra at 20 FPS, fails to reach the 60 FPS target. This resolution should be avoided entirely with this hardware.

In practical terms, this is a 1080p gaming setup for Undisputed. The Intel Core i5-12400F is more than capable for this title, but the Intel Arc B370 limits the overall experience. To play at 1440p, users must accept Medium settings and potential dips below 60 FPS. For a locked 60 FPS experience, staying at 1080p with High settings is the recommended path. The verdict is clear: this combo is playable, but it is firmly anchored to 1080p gaming.
