Undisputed

This combo pairs a 12-core Intel Core i7-12700KF with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, and the measured results in Undisputed show a platform that is heavily skewed toward GPU performance. The data places this pairing at rank 209 out of 1580 tested combos, which puts it comfortably inside the top 14% of all configurations tested for this title. That ranking reflects a system that will not struggle with the game’s demands, though the specific bottleneck shifts depending on the settings you choose.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 209 out of 1580 combos indicates a strong overall position, but it is not a top-tier leaderboard presence. This suggests that while the hardware is well-matched for high-refresh-rate play, there are faster combinations above it, likely with more recent GPUs or higher-end CPUs. The percentile placement implies that the RTX 4070 Ti is doing most of the heavy lifting here; the i7-12700KF is a capable partner, but it is not the limiting factor in most scenarios. The data shows that this pairing delivers playable frame rates even at 4K Ultra, which is a demanding combination, and that is the key takeaway from the ranking. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 35355 places it within a fraction of a percent of rivals like the Intel Core i5-14400 (0.1% ahead) and the Intel Core i7-13800H (0.2% behind), meaning the processor is not providing any unusual advantage or disadvantage in this specific game.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the dominant component in this configuration, and the benchmark results make that clear. It features 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s, which is ample for a sports title like Undisputed. The GPU’s boost clock of 2610 MHz and its 7680 shading units provide the raw throughput needed to push high frame rates. In the measured data, the GPU’s influence is most visible when comparing the frame rate scaling across settings. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 440.7 FPS, but at 1080p Ultra, that drops to 166 FPS. This is a classic sign of a GPU that is being fed more work per frame as settings increase, and the RTX 4070 Ti handles it without any signs of a CPU bottleneck. The GPU’s 85th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 44900, places it just 0.6% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile in the nearest rival data, which is a strong indicator of its relative performance class. The 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores are present, but for a game like this, the standard rasterization performance is what matters most, and the data shows it is more than sufficient.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a clear GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, but with enough headroom that the CPU never becomes a problem. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 261.1 at 1080p to 189 at 1440p, and then to 123 at 4K. That is a 53% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is a substantial hit that points directly at the GPU’s rendering load increasing with pixel count. The same pattern holds at Medium settings, where the frame rate falls from 317.3 at 1080p to 228.3 at 1440p and then to 146.2 at 4K. The most telling data point is at Low settings: the combo produces 440.7 FPS at 1080p, 317.6 at 1440p, and 204.6 at 4K. This scaling is nearly linear with pixel count, which is the signature of a GPU-limited workload. If the CPU were the bottleneck, you would expect the frame rates to plateau at lower resolutions, but here they continue to climb. The i7-12700KF’s 20 threads and 25 MB of L3 cache are clearly sufficient to keep up with the GPU’s output, even at 1080p Low where the frame rate exceeds 400 FPS.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Undisputed?

A: The data shows that 1440p High is a sweet spot, delivering 189 FPS on average. This is high enough for any competitive play, and it uses the GPU’s capabilities without pushing into the steep drop-off seen at 4K Ultra, which falls to 77.9 FPS.

Q: Is the RTX 4070 Ti or the i7-12700KF the limiting factor?

A: The benchmark results indicate the GPU is the primary limiter. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 440.7 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 77.9 FPS. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, as the CPU’s performance is not constraining the frame rate at any resolution tested.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its direct rivals?

A: The i7-12700KF has an average benchmark score of 35355, which is 0.1% higher than the Intel Core i5-14400 and 0.2% lower than the Intel Core i7-13800H. This places it in a tight performance band, meaning its impact on this game is essentially negligible compared to those alternatives.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K gaming?

A: Yes, but with caveats. At 4K High, it averages 123 FPS, which is smooth. At 4K Ultra, it drops to 77.9 FPS, which is still playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate displays. The data suggests dropping to High settings at 4K for a better experience.

Q: What is the GPU’s memory configuration and does it matter?

A: The RTX 4070 Ti has 12 GB of GDDR6X memory with a 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. For Undisputed, this is more than sufficient, as the frame rates remain high even at 4K, indicating no memory capacity or bandwidth bottleneck.

Q: How does the combo’s overall ranking translate to real-world performance?

A: Ranking 209 out of 1580 combos means this setup is in the top 13% of all tested configurations. In practical terms, it will handle the game at high refresh rates on 1440p and provide smooth 4K performance on High settings.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i7-12700KF is a 12-core, 20-thread processor based on the Alder Lake architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz. In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU quickly enough to avoid frame drops, and the data shows it does this without issue. The CPU’s single-thread performance, as measured by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4091, is strong enough for the game’s physics and AI calculations. The multi-threaded performance, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 28979, ensures that background tasks do not interfere with gameplay. The 25 MB of shared L3 cache and 1.25 MB of L2 cache per core provide fast access to frequently used data, which is important for a sports title that needs consistent frame pacing. The CPU’s 89th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 35355, places it in a strong position, but the nearest rival data shows that it is statistically tied with the Intel Core i5-14400 (0.1% difference) and the Intel Core i9-12900HX (0.2% difference). This means that for Undisputed specifically, the choice of CPU is not a critical factor, as the GPU is the dominant performance driver. The CPU’s boost clock of 5.00 GHz is high enough to keep frame times consistent, which is evident from the smooth scaling seen across all resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the data points to High settings as the optimal choice. At 1440p High, the combo averages 189 FPS, which is well above the threshold for high-refresh-rate monitors. At 1080p High, it reaches 261.1 FPS, and even at 4K High, it holds 123 FPS. This makes High the most versatile preset across all resolutions. Ultra settings, on the other hand, impose a significant penalty: at 1080p, the frame rate drops to 166 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 77.9 FPS. The jump from High to Ultra costs roughly 36% of the frame rate at 1080p and 37% at 4K, which is a steep price for what is likely a marginal visual improvement. Medium settings offer a middle ground, but the gains over High are not worth the reduction in visual fidelity, especially at 1440p where High already delivers 189 FPS. Low settings are only useful for extreme frame rate targets, such as 440.7 FPS at 1080p, but the visual downgrade is unnecessary given the hardware’s capability. The recommendation is clear: use High settings for the best experience, and reserve Ultra for screenshots or scenarios where frame rate is not a priority.
