Undisputed

The Intel Core i7-12700KF paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 delivers a commanding performance in Undisputed, with the measured data showing that even the most demanding preset remains highly playable. This combination ranks in the top percentile of tested configurations, making it a formidable setup for this sports title.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data for Undisputed reveals a clear hierarchy across the four tested presets, with the Ultra setting providing the most visually complete experience while still maintaining robust frame rates. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers an average of 155.8 FPS, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay, though it does represent a significant drop from the High preset’s 239.9 FPS. The High preset at this resolution offers the best balance, nearly reaching the 240 Hz refresh rate territory that many competitive players target, while the Medium preset sits at 289.4 FPS and the Low preset reaches an exceptional 405.2 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the data indicates that High remains the optimal choice for quality-conscious users, producing 173.1 FPS on average. This is comfortably above the 144 Hz threshold, ensuring fluid motion on high-refresh-rate monitors. The Ultra preset at this resolution drops to 114.9 FPS, which is still playable but begins to sacrifice the headroom needed for consistent high-refresh-rate output. At 3840x2160, the High preset produces 113.1 FPS, while Ultra falls to 72.2 FPS, which is the only measured configuration that approaches the lower bounds of ideal playability.

The data suggests that the High preset offers the most favorable experience across all resolutions for this combination. It provides a substantial improvement over Medium in visual fidelity while maintaining frame rates that are 53.9% higher than Ultra at 1440p and 56.6% higher at 4K. For users prioritizing maximum performance, the Low preset shows the ceiling of this setup’s capability, reaching 405.2 FPS at 1080p, but the visual compromise is steep. The measured results indicate that High is the sweet spot, delivering frame rates that fully utilize most displays while preserving the graphical detail expected from a modern sports title.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific configuration of the Intel Core i7-12700KF and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 achieves a combo rank of 307 out of 1,580 tested combinations in Undisputed.

The NVIDIA Tesla M40 and AMD Radeon Pro 580X exceed it by 0.5% and 0.7% respectively. The data shows that the RTX 5070 performs within a narrow band of these competitors, though its real-world advantage in Undisputed is substantial given the measured FPS figures.

The combination’s ranking suggests that while neither component is an absolute outlier in synthetic benchmarks, their synergy in this specific game produces results that exceed the median configuration. The 307th position out of 1,580 combos indicates strong overall capability, with the setup comfortably outperforming roughly 80% of tested alternatives in this title.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 plays a decisive role in shaping the performance profile of this configuration in Undisputed. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. The memory clock operates at 1750 MHz, translating to 28 Gbps effective, while the core runs at a base clock of 2325 MHz and boosts to 2512 MHz. These specifications support the high frame rates observed across all tested resolutions.

The GPU’s architecture, Blackwell 2.0, incorporates 6,144 shading units, 192 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation units. The pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s indicate substantial raw throughput, which directly contributes to the measured performance. The FP32 compute capability of 30.87 TFLOPS provides additional headroom for physics and simulation tasks within the game.

The data shows that the RTX 5070 is the primary driver of frame rates in this title, as evidenced by the scaling patterns across resolutions. At 1080p High settings, the GPU produces 239.9 FPS, while at 1440p High it delivers 173.1 FPS, and at 4K High it maintains 113.1 FPS. This scaling is consistent with a GPU-bound workload where the graphics card’s capabilities are the limiting factor. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient for the demands of Undisputed at Ultra settings across all tested resolutions, as evidenced by the stable frame rates even at 4K Ultra with 72.2 FPS.

The GPU’s position in the broader market, at the 83rd percentile, indicates that it is a high-performing component, though not at the absolute top tier. Its synthetic benchmark scores, including a Passmark G3D score of 29,137 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 5,077, place it in a competitive range. The measured results in Undisputed confirm that the RTX 5070 provides ample performance for this title, with the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute capabilities being fully utilized at higher resolutions and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of how this combination performs across the three primary resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the configuration delivers exceptional performance across the board. The Low preset achieves an average of 405.2 FPS, which is the highest measured value in the entire dataset. Medium follows at 289.4 FPS, representing a 28.6% reduction from Low. High produces 239.9 FPS, while Ultra drops to 155.8 FPS, which is 61.6% lower than the Low preset figure.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains impressive but shows the expected scaling. Low delivers 295.8 FPS, Medium reaches 214.1 FPS, and High achieves 173.1 FPS. The Ultra preset at this resolution produces 114.9 FPS, which is still well above the 60 FPS threshold. The transition from Low to Ultra at 1440p represents a 61.2% performance decrease, closely mirroring the pattern observed at 1080p.

The 3840x2160 resolution presents the most demanding scenario. Low produces 185.3 FPS, Medium achieves 134.2 FPS, and High maintains 113.1 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 72.2 FPS, which remains playable but indicates that this is the boundary of the configuration’s comfortable performance envelope. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 61.0%, consistent with the other resolutions.

The data reveals that the performance gap between presets is relatively uniform across resolutions. The Low to Medium difference averages around 30%, the Medium to High difference averages around 20%, and the High to Ultra difference averages around 35%. This consistent scaling suggests that the game’s settings have predictable impacts on performance, allowing users to make informed adjustments based on their display capabilities and performance preferences.

Resolution Scaling

The resolution scaling data provides insight into the bottleneck characteristics of this configuration. Transitioning from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 at High settings reduces the average frame rate from 239.9 FPS to 173.1 FPS, a 27.8% decrease. Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings further reduces performance from 173.1 FPS to 113.1 FPS, a 34.7% decrease. The cumulative drop from 1080p to 4K at High settings is 52.9%.

This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the graphics card’s rendering capabilities become increasingly stressed as pixel count rises. The RTX 5070’s bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s and memory configuration are being pushed harder at higher resolutions, resulting in the observed frame rate reductions. The fact that the performance drop is not linear with pixel count suggests that other factors, such as memory latency and cache efficiency, also play a role.

The data shows that the CPU’s influence diminishes as resolution increases. At 1080p Low, the frame rate reaches 405.2 FPS, which approaches the limits of what many processors can sustain. The i7-12700KF, with its 12 cores and 20 threads, provides sufficient processing power to keep up with the GPU’s output at lower resolutions. However, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 72.2 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary limiting factor.

The resolution scaling suggests that this configuration is well-balanced for the game. At 1080p, the system has enormous headroom, allowing for maximum frame rates on high-refresh-rate displays. At 1440p, the performance remains excellent, comfortably supporting 144 Hz monitors. At 4K, the system still delivers playable frame rates, though users seeking the highest visual quality will need to accept the 72.2 FPS figure at Ultra settings or compromise with the High preset’s 113.1 FPS.
