Undisputed

The combination of the Intel Core i5-12400 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER delivers a remarkably consistent and often high-performing experience in Undisputed. The data shows this pairing is heavily GPU-limited at lower resolutions, with the CPU proving more than capable of feeding the graphics card. Across the board, the benchmark results indicate that users can expect excellent frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, with playable performance even at 4K on most settings, making this a well-balanced duo for the sports title.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates where the bottleneck lies in this system. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 252.3 FPS. This is the highest score in the entire dataset and signals that the Intel Core i5-12400 is not restricting the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. When the resolution is increased to 2560x1440 on the same Low preset, the average FPS drops by roughly 28% to 182.5. Moving up to 3840x2160 at Low yields an average of 117.4 FPS, a further 36% reduction. This steep decline is the classic signature of a GPU-bound scenario; the graphics card's rendering workload is scaling directly with the pixel count.

The pattern persists across other settings, though the percentage drops vary. With the High preset, the transition from 1080p (147.4 FPS) to 1440p (111.4 FPS) represents a 24% decrease, and the jump to 4K (66.7 FPS) is a further 40% drop. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling, falling from 98 FPS at 1080p to 71.9 FPS at 1440p, and then down to a demanding 41.5 FPS at 4K. The consistent, substantial performance hits as resolution climbs confirm that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting component. The CPU’s headroom is evident; it is not the constraining factor in any of these scenarios, allowing the GPU’s capabilities to be the sole determinant of frame rate.

Settings Recommendations

For players targeting the highest refresh rates on a 1080p display, the Low preset is the clear winner. The measured average of 252.3 FPS at 1920x1080 is more than double what the High preset (147.4 FPS) achieves and provides an enormous margin for high-refresh-rate monitors. Even the Medium preset, at 181.8 FPS, offers a substantial boost over High. However, for a balanced experience that prioritizes visual quality without sacrificing smoothness, the High preset at 1080p is the sweet spot, delivering a very strong 147.4 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, the story changes slightly. The High preset’s 111.4 FPS average is ideal for a 144Hz monitor, offering a perfect balance of fidelity and speed. The Medium preset (131.5 FPS) is also a fantastic option for those who want to push frame rates higher, while Ultra (71.9 FPS) remains perfectly playable for slower-paced sports action. The Low preset’s 182.5 FPS is overkill for most displays, but it demonstrates the hardware’s raw capability at this resolution.

The 4K results dictate a more cautious approach. At 3840x2160, the High preset produces an average of 66.7 FPS, which is smooth and playable. The Medium preset (86.1 FPS) is arguably the best choice here, providing a significant performance buffer over High while still looking substantially better than Low. The Ultra preset, at just 41.5 FPS, is best avoided. The data suggests that the RTX 2070 SUPER can handle 4K, but only if the user is willing to compromise on the highest graphical details.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand database of tested hardware combinations for Undisputed, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i5-12400 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER holds a rank of 977 out of 1580 tested combos. This places it in the upper half of all systems, indicating a respectable level of performance relative to the broader spectrum of hardware. While it is not at the top of the leaderboard, it is a solid mid-to-upper-tier performer.

This ranking is consistent with the individual performance of its components. The CPU sits in the 77th percentile when compared to all other processors, and its average benchmark score of 19850 is nearly identical to that of its nearest rivals. It is virtually neck-and-neck with the Intel Core i7-9700, which scores 19831 (a delta of just 0.1%), and slightly behind the Intel Core i7-8700, which scores 19894. The GPU also performs as expected, sitting in the 65th percentile against all other graphics cards. Its average benchmark score of 22206 is within 2.5% of the AMD Radeon RX 5700 and just 0.9% behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z. The hardware’s overall position in the game-specific ranking is a direct result of these two components working in concert, delivering a performance level that is greater than the sum of its parts in this particular title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured frame rates provides a comprehensive view of this combo’s capabilities across all settings and resolutions.

1920x1080:

• Low: 252.3 FPS average
• Medium: 181.8 FPS average
• High: 147.4 FPS average
• Ultra: 98.0 FPS average

2560x1440:

• Low: 182.5 FPS average
• Medium: 131.5 FPS average
• High: 111.4 FPS average

3840x2160:

• Low: 117.4 FPS average
• Medium: 86.1 FPS average
• High: 66.7 FPS average
• Ultra: 41.5 FPS average

The data reveals a clear hierarchy. At 1080p, the system is capable of hitting triple-digit frame rates on every preset except Ultra, which still manages a very respectable 98 FPS. Moving to 1440p, all presets remain above the 60 FPS threshold, with Low and Medium exceeding 130 FPS. At 4K, the performance floor is tested, but the system still provides playable frame rates on Low, Medium, and High, with only the Ultra preset falling below the 60 FPS mark. This indicates a versatile system that can adapt to different display and performance requirements with ease.
