Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER delivers a performance profile in Undisputed that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics settings. The measured frame rates show a clear transition from a CPU-limited environment at 1080p to a GPU-bound scenario at 4K, with the mid-range resolutions offering the most balanced experience. This combination ranks in the 70th percentile of tested configurations for this title, indicating solid, if not class-leading, performance.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data reveals a steep performance curve as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the combination is exceptionally fast, with the Low preset achieving an average of 228.5 FPS and the Ultra preset still maintaining a highly playable 85.6 FPS. This wide gap between presets at 1080p suggests that the CPU, with its 12 cores and 20 threads boosting up to 5.00 GHz, is capable of feeding frames far faster than the GPU can render at higher settings. The 137.7 FPS average at High settings further underscores that at this resolution, the RTX 2060 SUPER is the limiting factor, as the frame rate scales significantly with graphical load.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops are substantial but expected. The Low preset falls to 165 FPS, a 27.8% reduction from 1080p, while the Ultra preset drops to 65.5 FPS, a 23.5% reduction. This scaling indicates that the GPU is now becoming the primary bottleneck, as the pixel count increase directly impacts the rendering load. The High preset at 101.4 FPS remains well within the territory of smooth gameplay, showing that this resolution is a sweet spot for the hardware, providing a significant visual upgrade over 1080p without sacrificing fluidity.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2060 SUPER is clearly overtaxed. The Ultra preset manages only 40.7 FPS, which is below the threshold for a consistently smooth experience in a sports title. The High preset fares better at 62.3 FPS, but the Low preset’s 106.3 FPS highlights the massive cost of higher settings at 4K. The performance delta between 1440p and 4K at High settings is 38.6% (from 101.4 to 62.3 FPS), confirming that the 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and the GPU's compute capabilities are the definitive constraints at this resolution. The data suggests that the i7-12700KF has ample headroom even at 4K, as the frame rate is almost entirely dependent on the graphics card’s ability to process the increased pixel workload.

FAQ

*Q: What is the highest average frame rate achievable with this hardware combination in Undisputed?*

A: The highest recorded average frame rate is 228.5 FPS, achieved at 1920x1080 resolution with the Low preset.

*Q: Can this system handle 4K gaming in Undisputed?*

A: Yes, but with compromises. At 4K with the High preset, the average frame rate is 62.3 FPS, which is playable. However, the Ultra preset drops to an average of 40.7 FPS, which may not be smooth enough for all players.

Q: How does the CPU performance compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Core i7-12700KF has an average benchmark score of 35355, placing it 0.1% ahead of the Intel Core i5-14400 and 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core i9-12900HX. It is 0.2% behind the Intel Core i7-13800H.

Q: What is the performance difference between the Low and Ultra presets at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset (65.5 FPS) is 60.3% slower than the Low preset (165 FPS). This demonstrates the significant GPU load increase from higher graphical fidelity.

Q: Is the RTX 2060 SUPER more or less powerful than the RTX 2070 according to benchmark data?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 19774, which is 0.5% higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070's score of 19680.

Q: Does the frame rate at 1080p suggest a CPU or GPU bottleneck?

A: The data suggests a GPU bottleneck at 1080p. The frame rate varies widely between presets (85.6 FPS at Ultra vs 228.5 FPS at Low), indicating that the CPU can deliver frames quickly, but the GPU's rendering speed limits the final output.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the High preset at 2560x1440 is the optimal configuration. The 101.4 FPS average is well above the 60 FPS threshold, providing a fluid experience that leverages the increased detail over the Medium preset without the steep cost of Ultra. The jump from Medium (120.9 FPS) to High (101.4 FPS) at 1440p is a reasonable 16.1% performance decrease for a noticeable improvement in visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080, the High preset is also recommended, as it achieves 137.7 FPS, leaving ample headroom for any potential frame drops during intense gameplay moments. While the Ultra preset is playable at 85.6 FPS, the performance cost relative to High is significant. The data shows that the Medium preset at 1080p (165.6 FPS) is a viable option for players with high refresh rate monitors, but the High preset offers a better balance for most users.

For 4K gaming, the High preset is the only viable option, delivering 62.3 FPS. The Ultra preset’s 40.7 FPS is too low for a consistently smooth experience. Players with 4K displays should accept the High preset's visual settings to maintain playable performance. The Low preset at 4K, while fast at 106.3 FPS, severely compromises visual quality, making it a less desirable choice for a modern sports title.

How This Combo Ranks

The Core i7-12700KF and RTX 2060 SUPER combination is ranked 1108 out of 1580 tested configurations for Undisputed. This places it in the 70th percentile of all tested combos, meaning it outperforms 70% of the systems benchmarked for this game. This is a respectable standing, but it highlights that the RTX 2060 SUPER holds the combination back from higher rankings.

The CPU itself is a top-tier performer, ranking in the 89th percentile against all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 35355. This is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14400, which scores 35336, a mere 0.1% difference. The GPU, however, only ranks in the 63rd percentile against all GPUs, with an average score of 19774. The performance delta between the CPU and GPU rankings illustrates a significant imbalance; the processor is capable of supporting a much more powerful graphics card. The combo's overall rank is therefore a direct reflection of the GPU's mid-range standing, not the CPU's high-end capability.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER plays the definitive role in determining Undisputed's performance ceiling, particularly at higher resolutions. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which proves sufficient for 1080p and 1440p but becomes a constraint at 4K with higher presets. The GPU's boost clock of 1650 MHz and its 2176 shading units deliver a FP32 performance of 7.181 TFLOPS, which is the primary driver of frame rates in this title.

The benchmark results show that the GPU's workload scales directly with resolution. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2011 and the Passmark G3D score of 16462 are indicative of its mid-range class. Compared to its nearest rivals, the RTX 2060 SUPER is 0.5% faster than the RTX 2070, a negligible difference that confirms its position in the market. Its performance is also closely matched by the older GTX TITAN, which is only 0.3% slower. The GPU's 63rd percentile ranking against all GPUs, coupled with its DirectX 12 Ultimate support, means it can run the game with modern features, but its raw processing power is the limiting factor for achieving high frame rates at 4K Ultra. The data clearly indicates that for this title, the GPU is the component that dictates the playable settings and resolution.
