FAQ

Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 1080p with High settings?

A: Yes. The recorded average FPS at 1920x1080 with High settings is 68 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best playable preset at 1440p?

A: Medium is the most demanding preset that stays playable at 2560x1440, delivering an average of 60 FPS exactly at the threshold.

Q: Is 4K playable with this hardware combination?

A: No. At 3840x2160, even the Low preset only reaches an average of 52 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The verdict for 4K lists no playable settings.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its closest rivals in overall benchmark scores?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 scores an average of 40,081 across the database's benchmark suite. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 scores 40,048, a delta of 0.1%, while the Intel Core 5 221E scores 40,144, a delta of -0.2%. Performance is effectively identical among these parts.

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

A: The Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile, meaning roughly 95% of tested GPUs score higher in the database's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test.

Q: Which component is more critical at 1080p, the CPU or the GPU?

A: The data from resolution scaling indicates the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1080p, the GPU is still heavily tasked, but the CPU's strong multi-threaded scores (18,760 in Cinebench R23 multi-core) keep frame pacing consistent.

CPU and GPU Roles

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 4 desktop processor with a 65 W TDP on the AM5 socket. The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, designed for portables and low-power systems. The division of labor between these two components shifts noticeably as resolution changes.

At 1920x1080, the CPU is fully engaged. The Ryzen 7 7700's single-thread score of 1,930 in Cinebench R23 and its PassMark single-thread score of 4,063 provide enough headroom for the game's simulation and physics work. The GPU, however, is still the bottleneck. The Arc B370's 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 1,280 shading units are modest, and the 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1,184 places it at the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The 1080p results show a wide spread across presets, from 115 FPS at Low down to 44 FPS at Ultra, which is a classic sign of a GPU that runs out of pixel throughput as settings climb.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's limitations become more pronounced. The Low preset delivers 83 FPS, but Medium drops to 60 FPS and High drops to 49 FPS. Ultra collapses to 32 FPS. The CPU is not the limiting factor here; the Ryzen 7 7700's multi-threaded capability (18,760 in Cinebench R23, 34,470 in PassMark multi-thread) is far beyond what this game needs at this resolution. The frame rate scaling from Low to Medium to High follows the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth constraints, since the Arc B370 uses system shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is completely overwhelmed. Low settings produce only 52 FPS, Medium drops to 38 FPS, High to 31 FPS, and Ultra to 20 FPS. The gap between 1080p Low (115 FPS) and 4K Low (52 FPS) is a 55% reduction, and the gap between 1080p High (68 FPS) and 4K High (31 FPS) is a 54% reduction. These are GPU-bound scaling patterns. The CPU's role at 4K is minimal, as the Arc B370's 20 ROPs and 40 TMUs cannot push enough pixels regardless of how fast the Ryzen 7 7700 feeds it draw calls.

The measured data shows that the CPU matters most at 1080p, where frame rates are high enough to expose CPU overhead, but even there the GPU still dominates the preset scaling. At 1440p and above, the GPU is the sole deciding factor. Players considering this combination should treat the Ryzen 7 7700 as a capable partner that will not hold the Arc B370 back in Undisputed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database records FPS measurements across three resolutions and four quality presets per resolution. Minimum and maximum values are only available for the Medium preset at each resolution.

1920x1080

• Low: 115 FPS average.
• Medium: 83 FPS average, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS.
• High: 68 FPS average.
• Ultra: 44 FPS average.

The 1080p results form a clear progression. Low settings are far above the 60 FPS threshold, Medium maintains a comfortable margin, and High still clears the threshold. Ultra falls below it, which means the most demanding preset at 1080p is not playable.

2560x1440

• Low: 83 FPS average.
• Medium: 60 FPS average, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS.
• High: 49 FPS average.
• Ultra: 32 FPS average.

At 1440p, the Medium preset lands exactly on the 60 FPS playable threshold. The minimum of 51 FPS indicates occasional dips below the line, but the average holds. High settings drop to 49 FPS, and Ultra is unplayable at 32 FPS.

3840x2160

• Low: 52 FPS average.
• Medium: 38 FPS average, with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS.
• High: 31 FPS average.
• Ultra: 20 FPS average.

No preset at 4K reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The best case is Low at 52 FPS, which is still below the playable line. The Medium preset's minimum of 32 FPS and maximum of 43 FPS show significant frame time variance, indicating the GPU is saturated.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: each resolution step down from 1080p to 4K roughly halves the frame rate at a given preset. This is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario where the Arc B370's limited pixel rate and texture rate cannot keep up with increasing pixel counts.

The Verdict

The database's verdict system uses a 60 FPS playable threshold. Based on the measured FPS data, this PC can run Undisputed at 1080p and 1440p with specific presets, but not at 4K.

At 1920x1080, the playable settings are Low, Medium, and High. The best playable setting is High, with an average of 68 FPS. Ultra is not playable, as it drops to 44 FPS. This is a solid result for a system with an integrated GPU.

At 2560x1440, the playable settings are Low and Medium. The best playable setting is Medium, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. High and Ultra fall below the threshold at 49 FPS and 32 FPS respectively. The Medium preset's minimum of 51 FPS means there will be occasional dips below 60, but the average stays at the line.

At 3840x2160, no settings are playable. The lowest preset, Low, only reaches 52 FPS. The verdict records an empty playable settings list and no best settings for 4K.

For users who prioritize visual quality, 1080p High is the sweet spot. For users who prioritize resolution, 1440p Medium is the maximum playable configuration. The system cannot handle 4K in this game under any preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at each resolution, based on the measured data:

1920x1080: High settings at 68 FPS average. This provides the best visual fidelity while maintaining a playable frame rate. The gap between High (68 FPS) and Ultra (44 FPS) is substantial, so players should stay at High.

2560x1440: Medium settings at 60 FPS average. This is the boundary condition, exactly meeting the playable threshold. The minimum recorded FPS is 51, so players who are sensitive to frame dips may prefer Low at 83 FPS for a more consistent experience.

3840x2160: No settings are playable. The closest option is Low at 52 FPS, but this does not meet the 60 FPS threshold. Users who attempt 4K will need to accept sub-60 FPS performance.

The pattern is consistent: the Arc B370 can handle the game at 1080p with High settings, and at 1440p with Medium settings. Beyond that, the GPU runs out of headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined AMD Ryzen 7 7700 + Intel Arc B370 configuration ranks 3,429 out of 3,718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 8% of the database's combo rankings. The ranking reflects the GPU's severe limitations, not the CPU's. The Ryzen 7 7700 sits at the 87th percentile among all CPUs, meaning it outperforms the vast majority of processors in the database. The Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, meaning it outperforms only a tiny fraction of graphics cards.

The disparity between the CPU's percentile (87) and the GPU's percentile (5) is the defining characteristic of this combo. The CPU is a high-end desktop part that would pair naturally with a much faster dedicated GPU. The integrated Arc B370 is the limiting factor, and the combo ranking reflects that. In Undisputed specifically, the 3,429th rank out of 3,718 combos means the system lands near the bottom of the field, ahead of only a small set of weaker combinations.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly in this system.

CPU rivals: The AMD Ryzen 7 7700's closest neighbors in the database are the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 (average score 40,048, delta 0.1%), the Intel Core 5 221E (average score 40,144, delta -0.2%), the AMD Ryzen 9 270 (average score 40,246, delta -0.4%), and the Intel Core i9-13905H (average score 40,313, delta -0.6%). All four fall within a 0.7% band of the Ryzen 7 7700's average score of 40,081. In practice, swapping the Ryzen 7 7700 for any of these would produce nearly identical CPU performance in Undisputed, since the game's CPU demands are modest relative to what these processors offer.

GPU rivals: The Intel Arc B370's closest neighbors in the database are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (average score 1,186, delta -0.2%), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (average score 1,190, delta -0.5%), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (average score 1,192, delta -0.7%), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (average score 1,168, delta 1.4%). These are all older or lower-tier parts with 3DMark Steel Nomad scores within 2.1% of the Arc B370's 1,184. A system with any of these GPUs would produce FPS numbers very close to those recorded for the Arc B370 in Undisputed.

The practical takeaway is that users who find this combo's performance insufficient should look at GPU upgrades first. The CPU has ample headroom, and the nearest CPU rivals would not change game performance meaningfully. The GPU, however, has no headroom at all, and even its nearest rivals are similarly weak. A meaningful frame rate improvement in Undisputed would require moving to a GPU well above the 5th percentile, not a lateral swap to one of the Arc B370's closest neighbors.
