Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-12400F and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, but 4K requires compromising on visual fidelity. Benchmark data shows this pairing ranks 2986th out of 3718 tested combos for this game, with measured performance that keeps the action fluid at the most common resolutions. The Core i5-12400F, a 6-core/12-thread Alder Lake part, provides ample processing headroom, while the Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and Xe2-HPG architecture handle the boxing title's rendering demands effectively.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers a 75 FPS average, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with room to spare. This is the most demanding preset that maintains playability, and it is the recommended choice for maximum visual quality at this resolution. The data shows no need to drop below Ultra here, as even the most punishing settings remain comfortably above the target.

Moving to 2560x1440, the High preset is the sweet spot, producing an 84 FPS average. While Medium runs faster at 102 FPS and Low hits 141 FPS, High offers the best balance of fidelity and speed, staying well above the 60 FPS floor. Ultra at this resolution drops to 54 FPS, which falls short of the playable threshold, so it should be avoided.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the most demanding option that stays playable, averaging 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS. Low runs at 89 FPS but sacrifices significant visual quality, while High drops to 53 FPS and Ultra to 34 FPS, both below the 60 FPS target. For 4K users, Medium is the practical ceiling, offering a playable experience without excessive compromise.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals a clear pattern: the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck as resolution increases, while the CPU maintains consistent headroom. At 1080p, the Ultra preset's 75 FPS average versus High's 116 FPS shows a 41 FPS gap, indicating the GPU is already working hard but the CPU is not limiting. The jump from 1080p High (116 FPS) to 1440p High (84 FPS) represents a 27.6% drop, directly reflecting the increased pixel count on the GPU.

The 1440p to 4K transition is even more telling. High settings fall from 84 FPS at 1440p to 53 FPS at 4K, a 36.9% reduction, while Medium drops from 102 FPS to 64 FPS, a 37.3% decrease. This consistent ~37% penalty across settings confirms the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K. The Core i5-12400F's 3DMark max-thread score of 5912 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12380 indicate it has substantial processing power, and the data suggests it is not constraining performance at any resolution tested.

At 1080p, the gap between Low (195 FPS) and Ultra (75 FPS) demonstrates the GPU's workload scaling, but even the lowest settings show the CPU can feed frames well above 144 Hz. The Arc B570's 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth are the key specs driving these results, and the resolution-based scaling confirms that upgrading the GPU would yield the largest FPS gains, particularly at 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-12400F sits in a tight performance cluster based on average benchmark scores. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS is effectively identical with a 0% delta, scoring 19047 versus the i5's 19039. The Intel Core 3 201E is just 0.1% behind at 19056, while the Intel Core i5-1335U is 0.3% ahead at 18982, and the AMD EPYC 7773X also sits 0.3% ahead at 18979. Any of these CPUs would deliver nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Undisputed, though the i5-12400F's desktop Alder Lake architecture offers a different feature set than the mobile-focused rivals.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570's nearest rivals are equally close. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile matches within 0.1% at 20534, while the Intel Arc A750 is 0.1% behind at 20582. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and AMD Radeon R9 M390X are further afield at 0.4% and 0.5% deltas respectively. In practical terms, the Arc A750 would be the most direct comparison as another Intel desktop card, and the RTX 3070 Mobile shows that even mobile parts can match this performance tier. Users upgrading from an Arc A750 would see minimal gains with the B570, while those considering a switch to the RTX 3070 Mobile would need to account for the mobile form factor's different thermal profile.

The Verdict

This PC can absolutely run Undisputed at 1080p and 1440p with high-quality settings. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset averages 75 FPS, which is 25% above the 60 FPS threshold, and even the most demanding settings remain fully playable. The 2560x1440 High preset delivers 84 FPS, a 40% margin over the playability floor, making it an excellent choice for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 3840x2160, the system is playable but with limitations. The Medium preset achieves 64 FPS on average, just clearing the 60 FPS target, but the 55 FPS minimum indicates occasional dips below the threshold. Low runs at 89 FPS for those prioritizing smoothness over detail, but High and Ultra are not viable options, with averages of 53 FPS and 34 FPS respectively. For 4K users, this combination requires accepting Medium settings or lower, which still provides a playable experience but cannot deliver the full visual experience at this resolution. The data indicates the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, so users seeking higher settings there would need a more powerful graphics card.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full settings range shows consistent scaling. Low averages 195 FPS, Medium averages 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 FPS and maximum of 162 FPS, High averages 116 FPS, and Ultra averages 75 FPS. The 120 FPS minimum at Medium demonstrates exceptional frame time consistency at lower settings, while the 75 FPS Ultra average still leaves a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold.

2560x1440 results show the expected penalty from increased pixel count. Low averages 141 FPS, Medium averages 102 FPS with a minimum of 86 FPS and maximum of 117 FPS, High averages 84 FPS, and Ultra averages 54 FPS. The Medium minimum of 86 FPS is particularly strong, staying well above the playable threshold even during demanding scenes. High's 84 FPS average provides a solid experience, while Ultra's 54 FPS average falls short of the 60 FPS target.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops become more pronounced. Low averages 89 FPS, Medium averages 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS and maximum of 74 FPS, High averages 53 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The Medium preset's 55 FPS minimum is a concern for strict 60 FPS targets, though the 64 FPS average suggests most gameplay stays fluid. High at 53 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS are both below the playable threshold, making them unsuitable for competitive play.

FAQ

*Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 60 FPS on Ultra settings at 1080p?*

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings is 75 FPS, which is 25% above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 1440p?

A: The High preset is recommended, as it averages 84 FPS. Ultra at this resolution only reaches 54 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS target, so High is the most demanding setting that maintains playability.

Q: How does the system perform at 4K?

A: At 3840x2160, the Medium preset averages 64 FPS, making it the most demanding playable option. Low averages 89 FPS, but High (53 FPS) and Ultra (34 FPS) both fail to reach the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 4K?

A: The GPU is the bottleneck. Performance drops by approximately 37% when moving from 1440p to 4K at both High and Medium settings, while the Core i5-12400F's strong benchmark scores indicate it has sufficient headroom to feed frames at all resolutions tested.

Q: What settings should I use for a stable 60 FPS minimum?

A: At 1080p, Medium provides a 120 FPS minimum, and Ultra's average of 75 FPS suggests it stays above 60. At 1440p, Medium has an 86 FPS minimum, while High's 84 FPS average carries some risk of dips. At 4K, Medium's 55 FPS minimum means occasional drops below 60, so Low at 89 FPS average is the safer choice for strict 60 FPS consistency.

Q: How does this hardware compare to its nearest rivals in this game?

A: The Core i5-12400F and Arc B570 both sit within 0.5% of their closest competitors. The AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS matches the CPU's performance exactly, while the Intel Arc A750 is just 0.1% behind the GPU, meaning users would see nearly identical frame rates with these alternatives.
