FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution to play Undisputed with this hardware?

A: The data shows that 2560x1440 on High settings delivers 200 FPS average, which represents the sweet spot between visual fidelity and performance. At 4K Ultra, the average drops to 81.4 FPS, whereas 1080p High reaches 272.5 FPS, making 1440p the balanced choice for high-refresh monitors.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from Low to Ultra settings?

A: At 1080p, the difference is substantial: Low settings produce 458.8 FPS average, while Ultra produces 174.4 FPS. That represents a 62% reduction in frame rate. At 4K, the drop from Low (209.5 FPS) to Ultra (81.4 FPS) is a 61% reduction, showing that the scaling is consistent across resolutions.

Q: Does the RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB of VRAM become a limiting factor in this game?

A: Based on the measured FPS data, there is no evidence of VRAM limitations. The RTX 5070 Ti's 16 GB GDDR7 memory with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth appears sufficient even at 4K Ultra, where the average frame rate of 81.4 FPS indicates the GPU is still rendering without memory-related stutters or drops.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations for Undisputed?

A: This combination ranks 144th out of 1580 tested combos, placing it in the top 9% of all systems. This percentile position reflects the strong performance of both the Intel Core i7-12700K and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti working together in this specific title.

Q: Is the Intel Core i7-12700K a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: The data suggests the CPU is not a bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 458.8 FPS average, which is an extremely high frame rate. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29241 and single-core score of 4128 indicate strong per-thread performance that keeps up with the GPU's output.

Q: What is the jump in performance from Medium to High settings?

A: The scaling varies by resolution. At 1080p, High (272.5 FPS) is 17.6% lower than Medium (330.8 FPS). At 1440p, the drop is 17% (241 to 200 FPS). At 4K, High (126.1 FPS) is 15.1% lower than Medium (148.5 FPS), showing a consistent cost for the visual upgrade.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data reveals distinct performance tiers for each settings preset. At 3840x2160, the High preset delivers 126.1 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay on 4K displays. Ultra at 4K drops to 81.4 FPS, still playable but with a 35.5% reduction compared to High. For competitive play, the Medium preset at 1440p provides 241 FPS average, giving a significant margin above 144Hz displays while maintaining reasonable visual quality.

At 1920x1080, even the Ultra preset achieves 174.4 FPS average, making it viable for 144Hz and 165Hz monitors. The High preset at 272.5 FPS is ideal for 240Hz displays, while Low at 458.8 FPS suits extreme refresh rates. Considering the balance between visual fidelity and frame rate stability, the High preset at 1440p offers the best measured experience for most users, as it combines the 200 FPS average with the visual improvements over Medium. For 4K users, High is the recommended preset because it maintains 126.1 FPS while providing better image quality than Medium's 148.5 FPS, which is a modest gain for a notable visual downgrade.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 144th out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed, placing it in the 91st percentile of all systems tested.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti features 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units, with base and boost clocks of 2295 MHz and 2452 MHz respectively. The FP32 compute performance is 43.94 TFLOPS, with pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s.

The data shows that this GPU is the primary driver of performance in Undisputed. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 458.8 FPS, which is near the limits of what most display technology can show. The GPU's passmark G3D score of 32974 places it in the 87th percentile among all GPUs, and its average benchmark score of 52086 is essentially identical to the RTX 4080 (deltaPct of 0). The 16 GB VRAM capacity proves adequate even at 4K Ultra, where the 81.4 FPS average suggests the GPU is still compute-bound rather than memory-bound. The memory clock of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth provides ample data throughput for the game's textures and geometry at all tested settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700K is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, manufactured on Intel's 10 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with 25 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory in dual-channel configuration and connects via PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions where the GPU can render faster. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 458.8 FPS average, which requires the CPU to feed the GPU with draw calls and physics calculations at a high rate. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 29241 and single-core score of 4128 indicate strong performance in both multi-threaded and single-threaded workloads. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 9276 and max-thread score of 9979 show consistent scaling across thread counts, which benefits games that use multiple cores for simulation and AI.

The i7-12700K's 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35684, places it in close competition with the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5845 (0.3% faster) and Intel Core i7-13700T (0.6% slower). The PassMark multi-thread score of 34404 and single-thread score of 4013 demonstrate that the CPU provides sufficient headroom to avoid bottlenecking the RTX 5070 Ti in this title, even at the highest frame rates measured.
