A: At 2560x1440, the Medium preset averages 102 FPS, while the High preset averages 84 FPS. This represents a performance drop of 18 FPS when moving from Medium to High.

Q: What is the GPU's percentile ranking among all tested graphics cards?

A: The Intel Arc B570 is in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, based on its average benchmark score of 20556. This places it in the upper-middle tier of graphics hardware.

Q: Is the 4K Ultra preset playable on this hardware?

A: No, the 3840x2160 Ultra preset averages only 34 FPS, which falls well below the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the only configuration in the data that is not playable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance data for Undisputed reveals a dynamic relationship between the CPU and GPU, with the balance of importance shifting based on resolution. At 1080p, the system shows its highest frame rates, with the Low preset reaching an average of 195 FPS. This high output suggests that the GPU, the Intel Arc B570, has ample headroom at lower resolutions and is not the limiting factor. The CPU, AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is likely playing a more significant role in maintaining these high frame rates, as the graphics load is relatively light.

As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop, but remain robust. The Low preset averages 141 FPS, and the Medium preset averages 102 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU is beginning to take on a heavier load, but the CPU is still capable of feeding it data efficiently. The drop from 195 FPS at 1080p Low to 141 FPS at 1440p Low is a 28% reduction, which is consistent with the increased pixel count demanding more from the graphics card.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's role becomes dominant. The average frame rate for the Low preset is 89 FPS, which is a significant drop from the 141 FPS seen at 1440p. The Medium preset at 4K yields 64 FPS, and the High preset only 53 FPS. This steep decline across presets at 4K underscores that the Intel Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are being heavily taxed. The data suggests that at 4K, the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the CPU's performance potential is masked by the graphics card's inability to render frames faster.

The Ultra preset at 4K, with an average of 34 FPS, demonstrates the limits of this combination. The gap between 1080p Ultra (75 FPS) and 4K Ultra (34 FPS) is a 55% reduction in performance. This shows that while the CPU is more than adequate for high-refresh-rate gaming at lower resolutions, the GPU dictates playability at higher resolutions. The scaling pattern across all resolutions points to a balanced system for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with the GPU becoming the clear limiting factor at 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Examining the nearest rivals for both components provides context for what other hardware would deliver similar performance. For the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, the closest competitor is the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, with an average score of 24964, a negligible 0.2% delta. This means a system with a Ryzen 5 7500F would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed. Other comparable CPUs include the Intel Core i7-11850H and Intel Core i7-13620H, both showing a 0.3% and 0.4% delta respectively, indicating they would also perform within a hair of the 8400F.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570's closest rival is the Intel Arc A750, which has an average score of 20582, a 0.1% delta from the B570's 20556. This suggests that swapping the B570 for an A750 would result in virtually indistinguishable performance in this game. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is also a close match, with a 0.1% delta, meaning a laptop with that GPU could offer a similar experience, though the power and thermal characteristics would differ significantly. The data indicates that the AMD Radeon R9 M390X and NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, despite having deltas of -0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, would also be in the same performance ballpark, though these are less common in modern gaming systems.

For a user seeking a similar experience to the Ryzen 5 8400F + Arc B570 combo, any of these CPU or GPU alternatives would provide a close performance match. The tight clustering of the scores, all within a 0.9% range, means that the choice between these components would have a negligible impact on the frame rates seen in Undisputed. This data reinforces that the tested combo is part of a broader ecosystem of hardware that delivers a consistent level of performance.

The Verdict

The benchmark data clearly shows that this PC can run Undisputed effectively across most resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the system is highly capable, with all four presets clearing the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, achieves an average of 75 FPS, while the Low preset reaches a remarkable 195 FPS average. This makes 1080p the ideal resolution for this combo, offering smooth gameplay with room for high refresh rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the system remains strong but shows some limitations. The Low, Medium, and High presets all maintain averages above 60 FPS, with High delivering an 84 FPS average. However, the Ultra preset drops to 54 FPS, which is below the playability threshold. This means that at 1440p, users will need to stick to High settings or lower for a consistently smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the system's capabilities are more constrained. The Low and Medium presets are playable, with averages of 89 FPS and 64 FPS, respectively. The High preset falls just short at 53 FPS, and the Ultra preset is not viable at 34 FPS. The verdict is clear: for 4K gaming, the Intel Arc B570 is the limiting factor, and users should expect to use Medium settings as the highest playable option. Overall, this PC is a solid choice for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K support limited to lower presets.

How This Combo Ranks

In the broader context of all tested hardware combinations, the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F + Intel Arc B570 ranks 2986 out of 3718 combos for Undisputed. This places it in the 20th percentile of all systems tested, meaning a significant majority of other combinations deliver faster performance. This ranking is primarily driven by the GPU's 65th percentile standing, as the CPU's 77th percentile is relatively higher. The data suggests that while the CPU is a competent mid-range part, the GPU holds back the overall gaming experience, particularly at higher resolutions.

The rank of 2986 indicates that this is not a top-tier gaming system, but rather a mid-range option. Users looking for higher frame rates at 4K or more headroom at 1440p Ultra would need to consider a more powerful GPU. However, the combo's ability to handle 1080p Ultra and 1440p High at playable frame rates means it is far from the bottom of the rankings. The performance is adequate for the majority of gamers, but enthusiasts seeking maximum settings at high resolutions will find the system wanting.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is as follows. At 3840x2160, the best settings are Medium, which delivers an average of 64 FPS. This is the highest quality option that remains playable, as the High preset averages only 53 FPS. The data shows that Medium at 4K provides a good balance between visual fidelity and performance.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, achieving an average of 84 FPS. This allows for a more detailed visual experience than Medium, which averages 102 FPS, but still offers a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset is not recommended, as its 54 FPS average falls below playability.

For 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, with an average of 75 FPS. This is the only resolution where the highest quality preset is playable, and it still provides a frame rate that is 15 FPS above the threshold. Users can enjoy the full visual experience at 1080p without compromising on performance, making this the optimal resolution for this hardware combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates provide a detailed look at performance across all tested configurations. At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 89 FPS, the Medium preset averages 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 and a maximum of 74, the High preset averages 53 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 34 FPS. The data shows a clear and consistent decline in performance as settings are increased, with the gap between Low and Ultra being a substantial 55 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are significantly higher. The Low preset averages 141 FPS, the Medium preset averages 102 FPS with a minimum of 86 and a maximum of 117, the High preset averages 84 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 54 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 86 FPS indicates that even in demanding moments, the system maintains a high level of performance, staying well above the 60 FPS threshold.
