Undisputed

This combo, pairing the Intel Core i5-12400F with the AMD Radeon RX 570, lands at rank 3547 out of 3718 tested combinations in Undisputed. That places it in the bottom 5% of all combos on record, which is a clear signal that this is a legacy or entry-level pairing struggling to keep pace with modern expectations. The data shows a system that can run the game, but only with significant compromises in visual fidelity or resolution. Benchmark results indicate this is not a setup for high-refresh-rate competitive play; it is a configuration for playability at modest settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame figure of 3547 out of 3718 is a decisive statement. This system is outperformed by roughly 95% of all other tested CPU-GPU pairings in Undisputed. The ranking reflects the cumulative impact of an older GPU and a mid-range CPU that, while competent for general tasks, does not excel in this specific title's workload.

Looking at the individual components, the Intel Core i5-12400F holds its own in the broader CPU landscape. It sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms nearly three-quarters of processors tested. Its average benchmark score of 19039 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, which scores 19047 with a 0% delta. The i5-12400F also edges out the Intel Core 3 201E by a negligible 0.1% (19056 vs 19039). This indicates the CPU is not the primary bottleneck in this pairing; it is a capable processor that should not hold back the GPU in most scenarios.

The GPU tells a different story. The AMD Radeon RX 570 sits at the 74th percentile among all GPUs, which sounds respectable, but its average benchmark score of 28766 is only marginally different from its rivals. It is 0.4% behind the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (28874) and 0.8% behind the AMD Radeon RX 470 (28996). While the percentile is high, the absolute scores are low in modern terms. The RX 570 is the limiting factor here. Its performance tier, combined with the CPU, creates a system that ranks near the bottom for this game. The data suggests that the CPU is leaving performance on the table because the GPU cannot keep up, particularly at higher resolutions and settings.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is built on the Polaris 20 chip with a GCN 4.0 architecture. It operates with a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz. The memory runs at 1750 MHz, which translates to 7 Gbps effective on a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The 4 GB of GDDR5 memory is a critical limitation in modern games, and Undisputed is no exception.

In this game, the GPU's role is defined by its memory capacity and raw compute. The 4 GB frame buffer becomes a wall at higher settings. The measured FPS data shows a steep drop when moving from Medium to High at any resolution, which strongly suggests texture and memory pressure. At 1080p, the GPU manages 79 FPS on Medium but falls to 66 FPS on High. At 1440p, it drops from 57 FPS on Medium to 47 FPS on High. This consistent decline points to the GPU being overwhelmed by increased memory and shading demands, not the CPU.

The compute specifications are modest by today's standards. The GPU features 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Its pixel rate is 39.81 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 159.2 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 5.095 TFLOPS. These figures explain why the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates when the settings are raised. The card is also limited to PCIe 3.0 x16, which is an older interface, though this is unlikely to be a significant bottleneck at this performance level.

The GPU's nearest rival data shows it is competitive with other cards of its era, but those cards are also old. The deltaPct values are all within 1.2% of the RX 570, indicating that this is a performance class, not a standout performer. The 74th percentile ranking is a reflection of the fact that many GPUs in the database are older and less capable, not that the RX 570 is powerful in absolute terms.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Undisputed at 1080p with acceptable frame rates?

A: Yes, but only at lower settings. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 110 FPS. On Medium, the average drops to 79 FPS, and on High it falls to 66 FPS. These are playable numbers, though the High setting is borderline for those seeking a locked 60 FPS.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the main bottleneck in this system?

A: The data points to the GPU. The CPU sits at the 73rd percentile among all CPUs with a solid average benchmark score of 19039, while the GPU, despite its 74th percentile, has a low absolute score of 28766. The FPS drops across resolutions and settings align with GPU memory and compute limits rather than CPU constraints.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combination?

A: 1920x1080 is the only resolution where the combo delivers consistently high frame rates. At 1440p, the GPU begins to struggle significantly, with average FPS dropping below 60 on High settings and 80 on Low. At 4K, the system is only viable on Low settings, achieving 50 FPS.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to its immediate rivals?

A: The RX 570's average benchmark score of 28766 is nearly identical to the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (28874, -0.4% delta) and the AMD Radeon RX 470 (28996, -0.8% delta). It is 0.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon R9 M295X (28580) and 1.2% ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 (28421). This means it performs within a tight band of similar-age hardware.

Q: Should I use the Ultra preset in this game?

A: No. The Ultra preset produces an average of 42 FPS at 1080p, 31 FPS at 1440p, and 19 FPS at 4K. These are not playable frame rates for a sports title that benefits from smooth motion. The data indicates that Ultra is beyond the capabilities of this hardware.

Q: Does the 4 GB VRAM limit the experience?

A: Yes. The steep drop from Medium to High settings at every resolution indicates that the 4 GB frame buffer is insufficient for higher texture quality. At 1080p, the drop from Medium to High is 13 FPS (79 to 66), which is a significant penalty for one settings tier.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides a clear picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. Every reading is an average FPS, with some also including minimum and maximum values. The system never achieves a 60 FPS average at 4K, even on Low settings.

At 3840x2160, the results are as follows:

• Low: 50 FPS average
• Medium: 36 FPS average, with a minimum of 31 and a maximum of 42
• High: 30 FPS average
• Ultra: 19 FPS average

These numbers show that 4K is only playable on Low, and even then, the 50 FPS average is not smooth. The Medium preset's minimum of 31 FPS will be noticeable as stutter during gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves but remains constrained:

• Low: 80 FPS average
• Medium: 57 FPS average, with a minimum of 49 and a maximum of 66
• High: 47 FPS average
• Ultra: 31 FPS average

The 1440p Low preset is the only setting at this resolution that clears 60 FPS. Medium is close but the 49 FPS minimum indicates occasional dips below the smooth threshold. High and Ultra are not recommended for consistent play.

At 1920x1080, the combo becomes usable:

• Low: 110 FPS average
• Medium: 79 FPS average, with a minimum of 67 and a maximum of 91
• High: 66 FPS average
• Ultra: 42 FPS average

The 1080p Low preset is excellent, and Medium is solid with a minimum above 60 FPS. High is playable with an average of 66 FPS, but the lack of a minimum figure in the data suggests it may be close to the edge. Ultra remains too demanding.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the nature of the bottleneck. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 110 at 1080p to 80 at 1440p, a 27% reduction, and then to 50 at 4K, a 55% reduction from 1080p. This is a substantial decline that points to the GPU being the primary limiting component. The CPU is not likely to be the cause of such steep drops, as the i5-12400F has enough headroom to feed the GPU at these frame rates.

The pattern holds across all settings. At Medium, the FPS goes from 79 at 1080p to 57 at 1440p (a 28% drop) and then to 36 at 4K (a 54% drop from 1080p). At High, it goes from 66 at 1080p to 47 at 1440p (a 29% drop) and then to 30 at 4K (a 55% drop). These consistent percentage reductions across settings indicate that the GPU's memory bandwidth and compute throughput are being saturated as resolution increases.

The scaling also shows that the CPU is not a limiting factor in this game. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain relatively flat as resolution increases, since the CPU workload is consistent. Instead, the FPS drops proportionally with the pixel count, which is a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario. The RX 570's 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth and 4 GB of memory are simply insufficient to handle the increased data demands at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with the Medium preset. This setting delivers an average of 79 FPS, with a minimum of 67 FPS, which ensures a consistently smooth experience. The jump to High reduces the average to 66 FPS, which is still playable but offers less headroom for dips in demanding scenes. The Medium preset is the sweet spot for balancing visual quality and performance.

For players who prioritize frame rate above all else, the Low preset at 1080p is the best choice. It achieves 110 FPS average, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. However, the visual compromise is significant. The Medium preset is a better overall recommendation because it maintains a high frame rate while providing better texture and shading quality.

At 1440p, the data suggests using the Low preset for a playable 80 FPS average. The Medium preset at 57 FPS is borderline, and the 49 FPS minimum could cause noticeable hitches. At 4K, the system is not recommended for serious play, but the Low preset at 50 FPS is the only viable option if resolution is a priority. The Ultra preset is not viable at any resolution, with an average of 42 FPS at 1080p and below 20 FPS at 4K.

The practical advice is to stick with 1080p and choose between Low and Medium based on whether you prefer maximum smoothness or better visuals. The data does not support using High or Ultra settings, as the performance penalty outweighs the visual gains. This is a system that rewards conservative settings choices.
