Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti combination delivers a well-balanced performance profile in Undisputed, with the data showing a clear division of labor between the two components. The CPU’s 10 cores and 16 threads, running at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, provide ample headroom for the game’s simulation and physics calculations, while the GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth handle the visual load. Benchmark results indicate that this pairing is capable of pushing high frame rates at mainstream resolutions, but the gap between Low and Ultra settings reveals the hardware’s limits at 4K.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Core i5-12600KF is a 10-core, 16-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, built on Intel’s 10 nm process. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz can scale up to 4.90 GHz under boost, which gives it substantial single-thread responsiveness for gameplay logic. In synthetic tests, the CPU achieves a 3DMark single-thread score of 1016 and a multi-thread score of 7952, while Cinebench R23 results show 3309 points in single-core and 23444 points in multi-core. These figures place the processor in the 84th percentile among all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 27827.

The CPU’s nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the Intel Core i9-10900K, which scores 27829 (a delta of 0%), and the Intel Core i5-12600K, which scores 27851 (a delta of -0.1%). The data shows that the 12600KF is effectively tied with these parts, trailing by only 0.1% to 0.2% in average score. This parity suggests that in Undisputed, a sports title that does not heavily stress more than a few cores, the 12600KF’s performance is more than sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck. The 20 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel memory support for DDR4 and DDR5 further contribute to consistent frame delivery, though the game’s frame rates at 1080p and 1440p are primarily dictated by the GPU.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is built on the Ampere architecture with the GA104 chip, fabricated on Samsung’s 8 nm process. It features 4864 shading units, 152 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, with 38 RT cores and 152 tensor cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1410 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz, with memory clocked at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory is paired with a 256-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s. The GPU’s FP32 performance is rated at 16.20 TFLOPS, with a pixel rate of 133.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 253.1 GTexel/s.

In benchmark tests, the RTX 3060 Ti scores 20349 in PassMark G3D and 10006 in PassMark GPU Compute, placing it in the 69th percentile among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score is 25120, and its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6700M (scoring 25180, a delta of -0.2%) and the AMD Radeon RX 6600 (scoring 25235, a delta of -0.5%). The data indicates that the RTX 3060 Ti is statistically indistinguishable from these competitors in raw compute, but in Undisputed, the measured frame rates show that the GPU’s 8 GB VRAM and memory bandwidth become limiting factors at higher resolutions and settings, particularly at 4K Ultra.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combined performance of the Intel Core i5-12600KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti in Undisputed is ranked 811 out of 1580 tested combinations. This places the pairing in the middle of the database, which is consistent with the individual component scores: the CPU sits in the 84th percentile, while the GPU sits in the 69th percentile. The combination’s rank suggests that while the CPU is above-average, the GPU holds the overall result back, particularly at 4K where the average frame rate at Ultra settings drops to 47.6 FPS.

The data shows that this combo performs better relative to the field at lower resolutions. At 1080p, the average frame rates range from 106.3 FPS at Ultra to 285.6 FPS at Low, indicating that the GPU is the primary driver and the CPU keeps up without issue. At 1440p, the Ultra setting yields 77.8 FPS, which is still playable, but the 4K results reveal the combo’s limitations. The rank of 811 out of 1580 reflects a system that is capable of high-refresh-rate gaming at 1080p and solid 1440p performance, but it is not optimized for 4K Ultra settings, where the frame rate falls below 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data for this combination in Undisputed covers three resolutions and four quality settings. At 1920x1080, the average frame rates are 285.6 FPS on Low, 203.3 FPS on Medium, 170.2 FPS on High, and 106.3 FPS on Ultra. These figures show a consistent scaling where each step up in settings reduces performance by roughly 20-30%, with the Ultra setting still delivering over 100 FPS, which is well above the refresh rate of most monitors.

At 2560x1440, the average frame rates are 208.2 FPS on Low, 145.0 FPS on Medium, 122.0 FPS on High, and 77.8 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is significant, with the Ultra setting losing about 27% of its frame rate, and the Low setting losing about 27% as well. The 1440p Ultra result of 77.8 FPS remains playable, but it is notably lower than the 106.3 FPS seen at 1080p Ultra, indicating that the GPU’s pixel throughput is becoming a limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are 133.0 FPS on Low, 95.5 FPS on Medium, 79.0 FPS on High, and 47.6 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra setting is the only configuration that falls below 60 FPS, and the data shows a steep drop from High to Ultra, a decrease of 31.4 FPS. The 4K Low setting at 133.0 FPS is still respectable, but the Ultra setting at 47.6 FPS is not suitable for smooth gameplay. The overall trend across all resolutions is that the combo excels at 1080p and 1440p, but 4K Ultra pushes the hardware beyond its comfortable range.
