Undisputed

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data for Undisputed with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and Intel Arc B370 shows a clear pattern: the graphics solution dominates the performance equation at every tested resolution. The CPU is a high-end desktop part with a PassMark multi-thread score of 36,470 and a single-thread score of 4,691, placing it in the 94th percentile of all CPUs. The Arc B370, by contrast, sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 1,184. This massive imbalance means the frame rate ceiling is set almost entirely by the GPU, not the processor.

Looking at resolution scaling, the data shows the expected progression. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo produces 115 FPS average. Moving to 2560x1440 at Low, the average drops to 83 FPS, a reduction of roughly 28%. At 3840x2160 at Low, the average falls to 52 FPS, which is a 37% drop from the 1440p result and a 55% drop from 1080p. These scaling ratios are consistent with a GPU-bound workload where pixel count is the primary variable.

The preset scaling further confirms the GPU bottleneck. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is stark: 115 FPS versus 44 FPS, a 62% reduction. At 2560x1440, Low delivers 83 FPS while Ultra drops to 32 FPS, a 61% reduction. At 3840x2160, Low gives 52 FPS and Ultra falls to 20 FPS, a 62% reduction. The consistency of this drop across resolutions indicates that the rendering pipeline is responding predictably to increased graphical load, and the CPU is not introducing a variable that changes the relationship between settings and performance.

The CPU's headroom is evident from the benchmark data. The Ryzen 7 9700F scores 421,988 in PassMark data compression and 120,788 in integer math, with 8 cores and 16 threads. For a sports title like Undisputed, the computational demands of game logic, physics, and AI are well within the capabilities of this processor. The data does not show any scenario where the CPU's limits are reached; the FPS figures at every resolution and preset are consistent with pure GPU limitation. The system memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s and DDR5 support are also ample for feeding the GPU, which uses system shared memory.

In short, the analysis points to one conclusion: the Arc B370 is the sole performance gate in this configuration. The CPU is never the constraining factor, and the user should direct all tuning attention to graphics settings and resolution rather than processor settings.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Undisputed? The answer depends on the target resolution and the acceptable preset level. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS average. At 3840x2160, the combo does not reach 60 FPS at any preset. The best result at 4K is Low at 52 FPS, which falls short of the threshold. Ultra at 4K is 20 FPS, High is 31 FPS, and Medium is 38 FPS. None of these are playable by the 60 FPS standard.

At 2560x1440, the situation improves. The recorded playable settings are Low and Medium. Low averages 83 FPS, which is well above the threshold. Medium averages exactly 60 FPS, meeting the threshold precisely. High drops to 49 FPS and Ultra to 32 FPS, both below the line. The best playable setting at 1440p is Medium with 60 FPS average.

At 1920x1080, the combo clears the threshold at three presets: Low at 115 FPS, Medium at 83 FPS, and High at 68 FPS. Ultra falls to 44 FPS, which is not playable. The best playable setting at 1080p is High with 68 FPS average.

The verdict is straightforward. At 1080p, the system is comfortably playable up to High settings. At 1440p, the system is playable at Medium, but just barely, with the average sitting exactly at the 60 FPS line. At 4K, the system cannot achieve playable frame rates at any setting. The data indicates that users targeting 4K will need to lower the resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance. The system is best suited for 1080p gaming with High quality, or 1440p gaming with Medium quality.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database records the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS average for each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the best setting is High, with an average of 68 FPS. This is the highest quality setting that clears the threshold at this resolution. Low and Medium also pass, at 115 FPS and 83 FPS respectively, but High offers the best visual quality while maintaining playability. Ultra at 44 FPS is not viable.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is Medium, with an average of 60 FPS exactly. This is the only preset above Low that meets the threshold. High drops to 49 FPS and Ultra to 32 FPS. Users who prefer higher visual fidelity at 1440p will have to accept a frame rate below 60.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable setting. The highest average recorded is Low at 52 FPS, which is below the threshold. The database lists no playable settings for this resolution. Users targeting 4K should plan for lower resolutions or reduced expectations.

For the best overall experience, the data suggests 1080p High as the sweet spot, delivering 68 FPS with the highest quality among playable options. The 1440p Medium setting is a viable alternative for users who prioritize resolution over detail, but it sits exactly at the threshold with no headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The full set of measured results provides a detailed view of how the combo behaves across all tested configurations.

At 1920x1080, the results are as follows. Low averages 115 FPS with no recorded minimum or maximum. Medium averages 83 FPS, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. High averages 68 FPS with no recorded extremes. Ultra averages 44 FPS. The Medium preset's 70 FPS minimum indicates that even the worst frames stay above the 60 FPS threshold, which is a good sign for consistency. The High preset's average of 68 FPS suggests that dips below 60 are possible, but the average remains playable.

At 2560x1440, the results are as follows. Low averages 83 FPS. Medium averages 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. The minimum of 51 FPS means that the Medium preset at 1440p will occasionally drop below the 60 FPS threshold, even though the average meets it. High averages 49 FPS. Ultra averages 32 FPS. The Medium preset's 51 FPS minimum is worth noting for users who are sensitive to frame time consistency.

At 3840x2160, the results are as follows. Low averages 52 FPS. Medium averages 38 FPS, with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS. High averages 31 FPS. Ultra averages 20 FPS. No preset at 4K approaches the 60 FPS threshold, and the Medium preset's maximum of 43 FPS is still far below playable.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the combo is capable of smooth performance at lower resolutions and settings, but degrades rapidly as resolution and quality increase. The only preset with recorded minimum and maximum values is Medium at each resolution, which allows for a closer look at frame pacing. At 1080p Medium, the range from 70 to 95 FPS is tight and stable. At 1440p Medium, the range from 51 to 69 FPS shows more variance. At 4K Medium, the range from 32 to 43 FPS is low but relatively consistent.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3,429 out of 3,718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the combo in the bottom portion of the database, at roughly the 8th percentile of all tested systems. The ranking reflects the GPU's low position in the overall graphics hierarchy. The Arc B370's percentile of 5 among all GPUs is the dominant factor in this ranking.

The CPU's high percentile of 94 does not compensate for the GPU's weak performance. In a game like Undisputed, where the data shows GPU-bound behavior across all resolutions and presets, the graphics card is the deciding component. A combo with a weaker CPU but a stronger GPU would rank significantly higher. Conversely, this combo's ranking would not improve much with a faster CPU, since the GPU is already the limiting factor.

The ranking also implies that most other tested combos deliver higher frame rates in this game. Users with this specific pairing should expect performance in the lower quartile of the database. The measured FPS data aligns with this ranking: at 1080p High, the combo delivers 68 FPS, which is playable but not exceptional; at higher resolutions, the performance falls below the threshold. The 3,429 rank out of 3,718 is a quantitative summary of this overall position.

Similar Performance Alternatives

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