Undisputed

The benchmark data for Undisputed places the Intel Core i3-12100F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER combination in a strong position, with measured frame rates that scale predictably across resolutions and presets. The pairing of a 4-core, 8-thread Alder Lake processor with a 12 GB Ada Lovelace GPU produces results that are consistently playable, but the distribution of scores reveals a clear performance hierarchy that should guide settings choices.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows show that the High preset offers the most balanced experience across all three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, High delivers 245.7 fps, which is 86.0 fps below the Medium preset’s 297.7 fps but still far above any display refresh rate likely to be used. Moving to 2560x1440, High produces 177.6 fps, while Medium reaches 220.1 fps. The gap narrows at 3840x2160, where High achieves 117.0 fps compared to Medium’s 137.8 fps. In every case, High remains comfortably above 60 fps, and the visual uplift over Medium justifies the modest frame rate cost.

The Ultra preset is the outlier. At 1080p, Ultra drops to 159.7 fps, which is a 35.0% reduction from High. At 1440p, the drop is more severe: 117.2 fps versus 177.6 fps, a 34.0% decline. At 4K, Ultra falls to 73.0 fps, which is 37.6% below High and approaches the threshold where motion smoothness becomes a concern for a sports title. Given that the data shows High delivering 117.0 fps at 4K, the Ultra preset’s 73.0 fps represents a significant performance sacrifice that is unlikely to be necessary for competitive play. The Low preset, while achieving 416.8 fps at 1080p, offers diminishing returns beyond that resolution, with 301.4 fps at 1440p and 192.2 fps at 4K.

For the best experience per the measured rows, High is the recommended preset. It provides the largest margin over 60 fps at 4K while maintaining frame rates above 240 fps at 1080p. Medium is a viable alternative for users who prioritize frame rate headroom, but the data does not indicate any scenario where Ultra is preferable to High for this combination.

GPU Role

The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, with 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth, is a defining characteristic for this game’s results. The GPU’s boost clock of 2475 MHz and base clock of 1980 MHz, combined with 7168 shading units, drive the measured frame rates. The data shows that the GPU is the primary scaling factor when moving from Low to Ultra presets, as the frame rate changes are consistent with the increasing rendering load.

At 1080p, the GPU’s capability is partially masked by the CPU, but the preset scaling is still evident: Low produces 416.8 fps, while Ultra yields 159.7 fps. This 257.1 fps spread indicates that the GPU is capable of handling the lowest settings with ease, but the Ultra preset’s additional effects and geometry push the rendering pipeline harder. At 1440p, the spread narrows to 184.2 fps (301.4 to 117.2), and at 4K it further narrows to 119.2 fps (192.2 to 73.0). This pattern is typical of a GPU that becomes more dominant as resolution increases, with the CPU’s influence diminishing.

The GPU’s 84th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 42576, places it close to the NVIDIA RTX A6000, which scores 42653 (0.2% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE at 42723 (0.3% higher). This proximity suggests that the RTX 4070 SUPER is operating near the top of its class, and the measured FPS in Undisputed reflects that position. The 5 nm process node and 35,800 million transistors contribute to the GPU’s efficiency, but the raw scores are what matter here: the GPU delivers frame rates that are high enough to make the CPU the limiting factor at lower resolutions.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i3-12100F, with 4 cores and 8 threads, runs at a base clock of 3.30 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. Its 12 MB of shared L3 cache and 10 nm process node are modest by modern standards, but the benchmark scores indicate a capable single-threaded performer. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1681 and multi-core score of 11912 show a processor that can handle gaming workloads without bottlenecking a high-end GPU in most scenarios.

The CPU’s role in Undisputed becomes apparent when comparing the Low preset scores across resolutions. At 1080p Low, the frame rate is 416.8 fps, which drops to 301.4 fps at 1440p and 192.2 fps at 4K. The 1080p Low score is likely constrained by the CPU’s ability to feed the GPU with draw calls, as the GPU is clearly capable of rendering more frames than the CPU can request. The 3dmark single-thread score of 893 and 2-thread score of 1659 suggest that the CPU’s per-core performance is adequate, but not exceptional, for a game that may be sensitive to frame pacing.

The CPU’s percentile rank of 72nd among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 13516, places it near the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3975WX (13534, 0.1% higher) and the Intel Core i7-1250U (13462, 0.4% lower). This indicates that the i3-12100F is a mid-pack processor that does not severely limit the RTX 4070 SUPER in this game. At 4K Ultra, the frame rate of 73.0 fps is likely GPU-bound, as the CPU can maintain the necessary instruction throughput. The data supports a conclusion that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, but it does cap performance at 1080p Low, where the GPU is left waiting.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i3-12100F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 288th out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 18.2% of all configurations. This rank is notable because the CPU is a budget-oriented part, yet the combo outperforms many pairings with more expensive processors. The GPU’s high performance is the primary driver of this ranking, as the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 84th percentile GPU score compensates for the CPU’s 72nd percentile CPU score.

The combo’s rank relative to other tested combos suggests that the GPU is the dominant component in this pairing. If the CPU were a significant bottleneck, the combo would likely rank lower, closer to the CPU’s percentile. Instead, the 288th rank out of 1580 indicates that the system achieves a balanced performance profile, with the GPU’s strengths offsetting the CPU’s limitations. The deltaPct values for the GPU’s nearest rivals, which are all within 1.6% of the RTX 4070 SUPER’s average score, reinforce that this GPU is performing at a level that can carry a system in a sports title like Undisputed.

For users considering this combination, the data shows that it is a viable option for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and solid 4K performance. The 288th rank out of 1580 combos means that there are 287 configurations that outperform it, but the majority of those likely feature more expensive CPUs that would not provide a proportional benefit in Undisputed. The combo’s position in the rankings reflects the RTX 4070 SUPER’s capability.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of scaling from 1080p to 4K, with the frame rate dropping as resolution increases. At High settings, the frame rate goes from 245.7 fps at 1080p to 177.6 fps at 1440p, a 27.7% reduction, and then to 117.0 fps at 4K, a further 34.1% reduction from 1440p. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s workload does not increase with resolution, but the GPU’s rendering load does.

The Low preset shows a different scaling behavior: 416.8 fps at 1080p drops to 301.4 fps at 1440p (27.7% reduction) and then to 192.2 fps at 4K (36.2% reduction from 1440p). The 1080p Low score is disproportionately high compared to 1440p, suggesting that at 1080p Low, the CPU is the limiting factor, and the GPU is not fully utilized. As resolution increases, the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and the frame rate scaling becomes more uniform.

The Ultra preset exhibits the steepest scaling curve: 159.7 fps at 1080p, 117.2 fps at 1440p (26.6% reduction), and 73.0 fps at 4K (37.7% reduction from 1440p). The 4K Ultra result is the only measured frame rate below 100 fps, and it highlights the GPU’s limitations when all settings are maxed out. The data indicates that at 4K Ultra, the GPU is the clear limiting component, as the CPU’s 4 cores are sufficient to maintain a 73.0 fps average. Overall, the resolution scaling shows that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can deliver frame rates above 117 fps at High settings, while 4K requires a preset reduction to High to achieve a comfortable 117.0 fps.
