Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-12700KF and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a highly consistent experience in Undisputed, with benchmark results showing that the pairing is well-balanced for this sports title. The data indicates that this combo sits in the 2986th position out of 3718 tested combinations, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database’s tested configurations. While the rank is modest, the measured frame rates tell a more nuanced story, as the system handles 1080p and 1440p with ease, and only struggles to maintain a consistent 60 FPS at 4K on the highest settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Intel Core i7-12700KF’s average benchmark score of 35365 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with its nearest rivals being extremely close in performance. The Intel Core i7-13700T posts an average score of 35403, which is a negligible 0.1% ahead of the 12700KF. Similarly, the Intel Core 5 213PE scores 35428, also 0.2% ahead, while the Intel Core i5-13600T scores 35305, a 0.2% gap. The closest match is the Intel Core i7-12700K, which scores 35287, a 0.2% difference. In practical terms, these four alternatives would deliver near-identical CPU-bound performance in Undisputed, meaning any of them could be substituted without a noticeable change in frame rates.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570’s average benchmark score of 20556 places it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, scores 20534, just 0.1% behind. The Intel Arc A750 is essentially a dead heat, scoring 20582, a 0.1% difference. The two other closest matches are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, 0.4% behind) and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20662, 0.5% ahead). For Undisputed, the Arc A750 is the most logical comparison point, as it is a desktop GPU from the same manufacturer and would produce nearly identical FPS results in the same settings. The mobile and workstation parts listed would behave similarly in raw compute terms, but their performance in a real gaming workload might differ due to driver optimizations and power delivery.

How This Combo Ranks

The benchmark database ranks this specific CPU and GPU pairing at 2986 out of 3718 tested combinations. That places the combo in the 80th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 80% of the configurations in the database outperform it, while 20% deliver worse results. This ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU, which sits at the 65th percentile versus all GPUs, while the CPU is much stronger at the 85th percentile. The data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this pairing; rather, the Arc B570 is the component that holds the combo back from a higher rank. In Undisputed specifically, this rank translates to a system that can play the game well at most settings, but it will not reach the top-tier frame rates that higher-end GPUs would achieve.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the system starts with an average of 89 FPS on Low settings, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Moving to Medium, the average drops to 64 FPS, with a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS. High settings produce an average of 53 FPS, which is below the playable threshold, and Ultra drops to 34 FPS. The 64 FPS average on Medium at 4K is playable, but the 55 FPS minimum shows occasional dips below the threshold.

At 2560x1440, the performance is much stronger. Low settings yield an average of 141 FPS, while Medium produces 102 FPS (minimum 86, maximum 117). High settings still deliver a solid 84 FPS average, but Ultra drops to 54 FPS, just below the 60 FPS threshold. For 1440p, the system can handle High settings with a comfortable margin, but Ultra is not recommendable due to the sub-60 FPS average.

At 1920x1080, the system is clearly in its element. Low settings produce 195 FPS, Medium hits 141 FPS (minimum 120, maximum 162), High reaches 116 FPS, and even Ultra maintains a healthy 75 FPS average. The 1080p results show that the Intel Arc B570 has enough headroom to run the game at the highest preset without any concerns about frame pacing.

FAQ

*Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 4K resolution?*

A: Yes, but only on Low and Medium settings. The benchmark data shows 89 FPS on Low and 64 FPS on Medium at 3840x2160. High settings drop to 53 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold, and Ultra falls to 34 FPS.

Q: What is the best settings preset for 1440p gaming?

A: The highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers an average of 84 FPS. Ultra settings at 2560x1440 only reach 54 FPS, so they are not recommended for a smooth experience.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor in this combo?

A: The GPU is the primary bottleneck. The CPU ranks in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU ranks in the 65th percentile. In Undisputed, the Arc B570’s performance ceiling is what determines the playable settings at each resolution.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B570 compare to its closest rivals in this game?

A: The Arc B570’s average benchmark score is 20556, which is within 0.1% of the Intel Arc A750 (20582) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534). These differences are so small that the frame rates in Undisputed would be nearly identical across these GPUs.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: The measured average is 75 FPS at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings. This is above the 60 FPS playable threshold, making it a viable option for high-refresh-rate displays.

Q: Is the 4K Medium preset playable despite the minimum FPS?

A: The average is 64 FPS, but the minimum observed is 55 FPS. While the average is above the threshold, the minimum shows that there will be dips below 60 FPS during intense scenes, so it is playable but not perfectly smooth.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data shows a clear division of labor between the Intel Core i7-12700KF and the Intel Arc B570 across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the dominant factor, as the low resolution puts less strain on the CPU. The frame rate scaling from Low (195 FPS) to Ultra (75 FPS) shows a 61% drop, which is entirely attributable to the GPU’s ability to handle the increasing pixel shading and effects workload. The CPU’s 3dmark_single_thread score of 1043 and passmark_single_thread score of 3984 are more than sufficient to feed the GPU at this resolution, as evidenced by the high frame rates even at Low settings.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts slightly. The CPU’s role becomes more important due to the increased pixel count, but the GPU still carries most of the load. The frame rate drop from Low (141 FPS) to Ultra (54 FPS) is a 62% reduction, similar to 1080p, indicating that the GPU is still the primary bottleneck. However, the CPU’s multi-threaded performance, as shown by its cinebench_r23_multicore score of 28838, ensures that there are no CPU-related frame drops, as the minimum FPS at Medium settings (86 FPS) is still high.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the limiting factor. The frame rate scaling from Low (89 FPS) to Ultra (34 FPS) represents a 62% drop, but the absolute numbers are much lower. The CPU has plenty of headroom, as its 3dmark_max_threads score of 9983 and geekbench_multicore score of 14367 are far above what Undisputed requires. The data indicates that even at 4K, the CPU is not holding back the GPU; rather, the Arc B570’s 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to maintain high frame rates at the highest settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 64 FPS. Low settings are also playable at 89 FPS, but Medium provides a better visual balance while remaining above the playable threshold. High (53 FPS) and Ultra (34 FPS) are not recommendable due to the sub-60 FPS averages.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is High, which delivers an average of 84 FPS. Medium (102 FPS) and Low (141 FPS) are also playable, but High offers the best visual fidelity while maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. Ultra at 54 FPS falls short of the threshold and should be avoided.

At 1920x1080, the system can handle the Ultra preset, which produces an average of 75 FPS. This is the highest settings option available in the data and remains fully playable. High (116 FPS), Medium (141 FPS), and Low (195 FPS) are all viable for users with higher refresh rate monitors, but Ultra is the best choice for maximum visual quality at 60 FPS or above.
