Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates for Undisputed across three resolutions and four quality presets reveal a clear picture of how this combination scales under load. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces 229.3 FPS, which drops to 165.2 FPS at Medium, 137.2 FPS at High, and 90.4 FPS at Ultra. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a reduction of roughly 60% from the peak figure, indicating that quality settings have a substantial impact on the frame rate ceiling.

Moving to 1440p, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings yield 167 FPS, Medium 119.7 FPS, High 102 FPS, and Ultra 64.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is approximately 61%, which is nearly identical to the 1080p scaling. This consistency suggests that the game's rendering load scales predictably with quality settings, and the GPU remains the primary driver of performance differences between presets.

At 4K, the scaling becomes more pronounced and the frame rates begin to show visible strain. Low settings deliver 104.4 FPS, Medium 75.3 FPS, High 62.5 FPS, and Ultra 39.9 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra at 4K is about 62% of the Low figure, but the absolute numbers are far lower. The transition from 1080p Low to 4K Low cuts the frame rate by 54.5%, while the same resolution jump at Ultra reduces performance by 55.9%. This near-uniform percentage drop across settings indicates that resolution scaling is the dominant factor, not the quality preset.

The data points to a system where both components contribute, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1080p, the high frame rates leave headroom for the CPU to matter, but at 4K, the GPU's rendering throughput is the bottleneck. The 4K Ultra result of 39.9 FPS is the only measured figure below 60 FPS, suggesting that this combination is viable for high-refresh play at 1080p but falls short of smooth 4K Ultra experiences.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT sits at the heart of this combo's visual performance. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus delivers 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is sufficient for the textures and effects in Undisputed at most settings. The GPU's base clock of 1968 MHz and boost clock of 2589 MHz, with a game clock of 2359 MHz, provide the raw compute throughput that drives the measured FPS figures.

The GPU's specifications align with the resolution scaling data. At 4K Ultra, the card's 64 ROPs and 2048 shading units must process over 8 million pixels per frame, and the resulting 39.9 FPS reflects the limits of its pixel rate of 165.7 GPixel/s. The texture rate of 331.4 GTexel/s and FP32 throughput of 10.60 TFLOPS are adequate for 1080p and 1440p workloads, as evidenced by the 137.2 FPS at 1080p High and 102 FPS at 1440p High.

The GPU's average benchmark score of 27985 places it at the 71st percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, scores 27956, a delta of 0.1% — essentially a tie. The RTX 3070 is only 0.9% higher at 28238, while the AMD FirePro S7150 leads by 1.5%. This tight grouping suggests the RX 6600 XT is positioned in a competitive mid-range tier, and the measured game performance reflects that positioning.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is worth noting for Undisputed. At 4K Ultra, the game's demand for memory can approach this limit, but the measured FPS of 39.9 indicates that compute limits, not memory capacity, are the binding constraint. The GPU's PCIe 4.0 x8 interface provides sufficient bandwidth for the game's data transfer needs, though the theoretical maximum is not fully utilized at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i3-12100F is a 4-core, 8-thread processor based on Alder Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process. Its base clock of 3.30 GHz and boost clock of 4.30 GHz, combined with 12 MB of shared L3 cache, provide the processing power necessary to feed the GPU in Undisputed. The CPU's 58 W TDP indicates a modest power envelope that keeps thermal headroom available during extended gaming sessions.

Benchmark results show the i3-12100F performs strongly in single-threaded workloads, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 893 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1681. Multi-threaded performance is more modest, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 11912 and a 3DMark 16-thread score of 4051. The CPU's average benchmark score of 13516 places it at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs, which is notably higher than its GPU counterpart's 71st percentile.

The CPU's nearest rivals in average score include the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX at 13534 (delta -0.1%), the Intel Core i7-1250U at 13462 (delta 0.4%), and the Intel Core i3-10105 at 13430 (delta 0.6%). The i7-7700K trails at 13280, a delta of 1.8%. This clustering shows that the i3-12100F delivers processor-level performance comparable to much more expensive parts in synthetic benchmarks, which translates to consistent frame delivery in games.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and AI calculations while the GPU renders frames. At 1080p Low, the 229.3 FPS result suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck, as the GPU is outputting frames at a rate that exceeds most display refresh rates. The 4-core, 8-thread configuration is sufficient for a sports title like Undisputed, which typically does not scale beyond a handful of threads. The boost clock of 4.30 GHz ensures responsive frame pacing even in scenes with multiple fighters and crowd interactions.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this combination of the Intel Core i3-12100F and AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT ranks 1097 out of 1580 tested combos for Undisputed. This places it in the 31st percentile overall, meaning roughly 69% of tested combinations deliver higher average frame rates. The data is measured, not simulated, which gives it credibility for real-world performance comparison.

The ranking is somewhat surprising given the individual component percentiles. The CPU sits at the 72nd percentile and the GPU at the 71st percentile, but the combo ranking is lower than either component's standalone position. This discrepancy indicates that the game's performance is limited by the interaction between the two parts, likely the GPU's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus at higher resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 39.9 FPS pulls the average down, and many competing combos with stronger GPUs achieve higher frame rates at that resolution.

The combo's performance at 1080p is competitive, with 137.2 FPS at High settings, which would place it favorably against many mid-range configurations. However, the 1580 tested combos include systems with more powerful GPUs and CPUs, and the ranking reflects the full spectrum of performance. The 1097th position suggests that while this combo is capable for 1080p gaming, it is not a top-tier performer in the absolute sense.

The delta between the combo's average FPS across all settings and resolutions and the top-ranked combos is significant, but the data shows that for 1080p and 1440p High settings, the performance is respectable. The 102 FPS at 1440p High and 62.5 FPS at 4K High indicate that the combo can handle higher resolutions with modest quality adjustments.
