Undisputed

Intel Core i7-12700K and Intel Arc B570 form a balanced pairing for Undisputed, with benchmark results showing the combo ranks in the 2256th position out of 2813 tested configurations. The data indicates this system delivers its best experience at 1440p with High settings, where it maintains a strong 84 FPS average, while 4K Ultra proves too demanding at just 34 FPS. The Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth provide sufficient headroom for the game's texture loads, but the GPU's 2500 MHz boost clock limits raw throughput at higher presets. The measured FPS values across resolutions reveal a system that scales predictably, with the CPU's 12 cores and 20 threads preventing bottlenecking at lower resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data clearly indicates that High settings at 2560x1440 delivers the optimal balance of visual fidelity and performance for this combo in Undisputed. This configuration produces an 84 FPS average, which comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay while maintaining substantial visual quality improvements over Medium settings. The step from Medium to High at 1440p costs roughly 18 FPS (from 102 down to 84), yet the visual upgrade justifies this trade-off for most players.

At 1920x1080, the High preset also stands out as the recommended choice, delivering 116 FPS average. This leaves enough headroom for competitive play without sacrificing image quality. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 75 FPS, which remains playable but represents a 35% performance penalty compared to High — a steep cost for marginal visual gains. Medium at 1080p offers 141 FPS, but the extra smoothness beyond 120 FPS is rarely perceptible on standard 60Hz or 144Hz displays.

For players prioritizing maximum frame rates, the Low preset at 2560x1440 achieves 141 FPS average, matching the Medium 1080p result. This suggests that resolution scaling with lower settings can provide similar performance to dropping resolution entirely, making Low 1440p a viable option for high-refresh-rate monitors. The data shows that Low settings at any resolution provide the largest performance buffer, with 4K Low reaching 89 FPS — surprisingly playable for a 4K panel.

The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution for this combo. At 1080p it requires a 35% FPS reduction versus High; at 1440p it falls to 54 FPS; and at 4K it becomes nearly unplayable at 34 FPS. The performance cost of Ultra settings does not align with the GPU's capabilities, as the Arc B570's 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is insufficient to sustain high frame rates under maximum load. Stick with High for the best overall experience, or drop to Medium if you require consistent 100+ FPS at 1440p.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 serves as the primary performance limiter in this pairing for Undisputed, with its 10 GB GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves adequate for the game's requirements, as evidenced by the playable 4K Low result of 89 FPS, but the GPU's 2304 shading units and 80 ROPs struggle when texture and shader complexity increases at Ultra settings. The 2500 MHz base and boost clocks are identical, indicating a fixed clock behavior that does not dynamically scale under load.

The GPU's 150 W TDP and PCIe 4.0 x8 interface provide sufficient power and bandwidth for this game. The 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die using TSMC's 5 nm process give the Arc B570 a transistor density of 72.1M per mm², which translates to 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. This compute capacity is the key constraint: it drives the 53 FPS at 4K High but falls to 34 FPS at 4K Ultra, showing that the GPU hits a compute wall as settings increase.

The 18 ray tracing cores are present but do not appear to influence these results, as Undisputed is a sports title that likely does not employ RT effects. The 144 texture mapping units and 80 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s, which explains the performance pattern: the GPU handles geometry and textures competently at Medium and High, but the jump to Ultra introduces effects that exceed its fillrate capabilities. The GPU's percentile rank of 65th among all tested graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 20556, confirms it sits in the mid-range tier.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions, with performance dropping by roughly 35-45% when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and another 35-45% from 1440p to 4K. At High settings, the progression runs 116 FPS (1080p) → 84 FPS (1440p) → 53 FPS (4K), representing a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 37% drop from 1440p to 4K. This non-linear decline indicates the GPU becomes progressively more stressed as pixel count increases, with the 4K resolution quadrupling the 1080p pixel load.

The Low preset shows the most dramatic scaling: 195 FPS at 1080p drops to 141 FPS at 1440p (28% reduction) and then to 89 FPS at 4K (37% reduction). The fact that Low 4K still achieves 89 FPS reveals that the GPU's memory bandwidth and shader throughput can handle the resolution when visual complexity is minimized. However, the Ultra preset collapses from 75 FPS at 1080p to 54 FPS at 1440p (28% drop) and then to 34 FPS at 4K (37% drop), showing that the combination of high resolution and maximum settings exhausts the GPU's resources.

The scaling pattern indicates the GPU is the limiting component in this system. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect smaller FPS differences between resolutions, as the processor would cap performance regardless of pixel count. Instead, the consistent 25-40% drops across each resolution step confirm that the Arc B570's rendering throughput is the constraint. The CPU's 84th percentile ranking among all processors, with an average benchmark score of 35287, places it well above the GPU's 65th percentile, reinforcing that the graphics card cannot fully utilize the processor's potential in this title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest frame rates across all settings. Low settings achieve 195 FPS average, which is the fastest result in the entire measurement set. Medium settings produce 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 and maximum of 162, providing a solid 120Hz baseline. High settings reach 116 FPS, and Ultra drops to 75 FPS. The 1080p results show a clear hierarchy where each settings tier costs roughly 20-25% performance, with the gap between High and Ultra being the largest at 41 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but decreases noticeably. Low settings hit 141 FPS, which equals the 1080p Medium result — an interesting crossover showing that resolution scaling can offset settings reductions. Medium achieves 102 FPS (minimum 86, maximum 117), High reaches 84 FPS, and Ultra falls to 54 FPS. The 1440p data shows the same relative pattern as 1080p, with Ultra costing about 36% of High's performance, but the absolute numbers are lower across the board.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become apparent. Low settings still manage 89 FPS, making 4K playable at minimum quality. Medium drops to 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 and maximum of 74, which sits right at the edge of smooth gameplay. High falls to 53 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 34 FPS, which is below the standard 60 FPS target. The 4K results demonstrate that this combo can handle 4K only at Low or Medium settings, with High and Ultra requiring significant compromises in frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i7-12700K + Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2256th out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the bottom 20% of all configurations tested. This ranking reflects the GPU's mid-range positioning rather than the CPU's strength, as the processor's 84th percentile standing would suggest a much higher overall placement if paired with a more powerful graphics card. The combo's rank indicates that while the system delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, it falls behind many other configurations in this game's benchmark database.

The CPU's nearest rivals provide context for the processor's contribution: the Intel Core i5-13600T (0.1% lower average score), Intel Core i7-12700KF (0.2% lower), Intel Core i7-13700T (0.3% lower), and Intel Core 5 213PE (0.4% lower) all perform nearly identically in synthetic benchmarks. This tight grouping shows the i7-12700K is not a limiting factor — any of these CPUs would produce similar results with the same GPU. The GPU's nearest rivals tell a different story: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (0.1% higher score) and Intel Arc A750 (0.1% lower) bracket the B570's performance, confirming it sits in the same performance class as those products.

The gap between the CPU's 84th percentile and the GPU's 65th percentile explains the combo's low ranking. With a more capable GPU, this CPU could push the combo significantly higher in the rankings, but the Arc B570's mid-range compute capabilities cap the system's overall performance in Undisputed. The 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS, combined with the 1080p Low result of 195 FPS, illustrates the wide performance envelope this combo covers — it can handle competitive play at high frame rates or 4K at minimum settings, but cannot deliver high quality at high resolutions.
