Undisputed

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Undisputed with the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and Intel Arc B390 spans three resolutions and four presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. Low settings average 127 FPS, Medium averages 91 FPS with a minimum of 78 and a maximum of 105, and High averages 76 FPS. Ultra drops to 49 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance scales down noticeably. Low settings average 92 FPS, Medium averages 66 FPS with a minimum of 56 and a maximum of 76, and High averages 55 FPS. Ultra averages 35 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p at Medium costs roughly 25 FPS, indicating a significant resolution sensitivity.

At 3840x2160, the results are considerably weaker. Low settings average 58 FPS, just under the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 42 FPS with a minimum of 36 and a maximum of 48, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. No preset at 4K reaches the playable threshold, and the gap between Low and Ultra is 36 FPS, showing that the GPU is heavily taxed at this resolution.

The minimum and maximum FPS data is only available for Medium settings across all resolutions: 78 to 105 at 1080p, 56 to 76 at 1440p, and 36 to 48 at 4K. These ranges show that frame pacing is consistent at lower resolutions, but the spread narrows as resolution increases, which points to the GPU becoming the limiting factor.

FAQ

Q: What frame range can be expected at 1920x1080 Medium?

A: The recorded data shows an average of 91 FPS, with a minimum of 78 and a maximum of 105. This indicates a stable frame delivery within that range.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 9700F sits very close to several high-end processors in the database. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX has an average score of 69875, a delta of just 0.2% from the 9700F. The Intel Core i7-14700KF scores 70163, which is 0.2% higher, and the Intel Core i7-14700K scores 69355, 0.9% lower. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69515, 0.7% lower. In practical terms, these CPUs would deliver nearly identical performance in Undisputed, since the game's frame rates are more constrained by the GPU at most settings. The 9700F has 8 cores and 16 threads with a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, but the benchmark deltas suggest that swapping to any of these rivals would not meaningfully change the measured FPS in this title.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B390 is in a very different position. Its average score of 1482 places it near the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1463, 1.3% lower), the GeForce 800M (1460, 1.5% lower), the GeForce GT 625 OEM (1446, 2.5% lower), and the GeForce GT 710 (1443, 2.7% lower). These are all low-end graphics solutions, and the deltas are small enough that they would behave similarly in Undisputed. However, the B390 has a distinct architectural profile: it uses Intel's Xe3-LPG architecture on a 3 nm process with 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 24 ROPs. Its pixel rate is 60.00 GPixel/s and texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s. The measured FPS data reflects this reality, showing that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions and presets.

The combination of a top-tier CPU and a low-tier GPU creates a system where the CPU has ample headroom, but the GPU limits playability. In the database, this combo ranks 3304 out of 3718 tested combinations for Undisputed, placing it in the lower portion of the distribution. If a user were to consider alternatives, the CPU rivals listed above would not change the outcome, while GPU rivals from the same performance tier would produce comparable FPS numbers.

The Verdict

The data shows that this PC can run Undisputed at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, the playable presets are High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best at an average of 76 FPS. The 60 FPS threshold is clearly cleared for these three presets, while Ultra falls to 49 FPS. At 1440p, Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging 66 FPS. High drops to 55 FPS, which is below the target, and Ultra averages 35 FPS. At 4K, no preset reaches 60 FPS. Low averages 58 FPS, Medium 42 FPS, High 35 FPS, and Ultra 22 FPS. The verdict by resolution is straightforward: 1080p and 1440p are viable for smooth gameplay at the right settings, but 4K is not.

The overall verdict is that this combo is capable of delivering a playable experience for Undisputed, but only if the user is willing to adjust settings at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the user has flexibility across three presets. At 1440p, the choice narrows to Medium or Low. At 4K, the hardware simply does not have enough GPU power to sustain 60 FPS, even on Low.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the dominant factor in Undisputed's performance, especially as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the CPU has enough headroom to push frame rates high: Low averages 127 FPS, which is more than double the 4K Low result of 58 FPS. This gap of 69 FPS between 1080p and 4K at Low settings is almost entirely attributable to the GPU's workload. The CPU, a Ryzen 7 9700F with 8 cores and 16 threads boosting to 5.50 GHz, is not the limiting factor at any resolution in this game, since even the most demanding preset (Ultra at 1080p) averages 49 FPS, which is well above the 22 FPS seen at 4K Ultra.

The scaling between presets also highlights the GPU's role. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces the average FPS from 127 to 49, a drop of 78 FPS. At 1440p, the same preset change drops from 92 to 35, a reduction of 57 FPS. At 4K, Low averages 58 FPS and Ultra averages 22 FPS, a difference of 36 FPS. The narrowing delta as resolution increases suggests that the GPU is already saturated at 4K, so preset changes have less relative impact. In contrast, at 1080p, the GPU has more headroom, and preset changes produce larger absolute FPS swings.

The CPU's role is more subtle. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (127 FPS) is high enough that the CPU could become a factor if the GPU were faster, but this is not the case here. The data shows no evidence of CPU bottlenecking, since the frame rates scale smoothly with resolution and preset. The CPU's benchmark percentile is 94, while the GPU's is 9, which further confirms that the GPU is the weaker component in this pairing. For Undisputed, which is a sports title that does not appear to stress multi-threaded workloads heavily, the 9700F's PassMark multi-thread score of 36470 and single-thread score of 4691 are more than sufficient.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and Intel Arc B390 ranks 3304 out of 3718 combos. This places it in the 89th percentile from the bottom, meaning it outperforms roughly 11% of tested systems. The rank reflects the GPU's low standing: the B390 is in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, while the CPU is in the 94th percentile. The combination of a very fast CPU with a very slow GPU results in a system that is heavily imbalanced for gaming. The measured FPS values confirm this, as the system cannot reach 60 FPS at 4K on any preset, and only achieves playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p with reduced settings.

The rank of 3304 out of 3718 is a direct consequence of the GPU's performance ceiling. In the database, the B390's nearest rivals are all NVIDIA GeForce GT series parts from the early 2010s, which are not designed for modern gaming at high resolutions. The CPU's rivals, by contrast, are high-end desktop and mobile processors that would pair with much stronger GPUs in most systems. For Undisputed specifically, the CPU's strength does not compensate for the GPU's weakness, and the recorded FPS data shows that the GPU is the deciding factor in whether this combo can deliver smooth gameplay.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best playable preset is High, which averages 76 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. Medium averages 91 FPS and Low averages 127 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while still clearing the threshold. Ultra is not playable, averaging 49 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Medium, averaging 66 FPS. Low averages 92 FPS and is also playable, but Medium provides higher visual fidelity while maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. High averages 55 FPS, which is below the threshold, and Ultra averages 35 FPS.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. Low averages 58 FPS, which is the closest to 60 FPS but still short. Medium averages 42 FPS, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. Users targeting 4K would need to accept frame rates below the playable threshold or lower the resolution.

The recommended settings are therefore High at 1080p and Medium at 1440p. These choices balance visual quality with the 60 FPS target, based on the measured data.
