Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the Intel Arc B370 presents an unusual combination for running Undisputed. The processor is a 16-core, 32-thread desktop part based on Zen 3, while the graphics solution is an integrated-class Intel Arc B370 with 1280 shading units and a 25 W TDP. Benchmark data from the database shows that this pairing produces playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p with specific settings, but falls short at 4K. The following analysis breaks down the recorded measurements, how this combo ranks among tested systems, the roles of each component, and what alternatives would behave similarly.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains measured average frame rates for Undisputed at three resolutions and four settings tiers. Minimum and maximum values are only recorded for the Medium preset at each resolution, so the analysis relies primarily on averages.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. The Low preset averages 115 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. High settings average 68 FPS, still comfortably playable. Medium settings average 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS, indicating consistent performance without significant dips. The Ultra preset drops to an average of 44 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold. This means that at 1080p, users can choose Low, Medium, or High settings and maintain smooth gameplay, but Ultra is not viable.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decline as expected. Low settings average 83 FPS, which remains playable. Medium settings average exactly 60 FPS, hitting the playable threshold with a recorded minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 69 FPS. This suggests that Medium is the boundary case at 1440p: the average meets the threshold, but occasional drops below 60 FPS can occur during intense moments. High settings average 49 FPS, which is not playable by the 60 FPS standard. Ultra averages 32 FPS, far below the threshold. The verdict data confirms that only Low and Medium are considered playable at 1440p, with Medium being the best playable setting at an average of 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly below the playable threshold. Low settings average 52 FPS, which is close but still short of 60. Medium averages 38 FPS with a minimum of 32 FPS and maximum of 43 FPS. High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. None of these settings clear the 60 FPS bar, and the verdict data lists no playable settings at this resolution. The gap between Low and Medium at 4K is 14 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 7 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 11 FPS.

The scaling pattern across resolutions is consistent. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 115 at 1080p to 83 at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 52 at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). At Medium settings, the averages are 83, 60, and 38 respectively. At High settings, they are 68, 49, and 31. At Ultra, they are 44, 32, and 20. The delta between 1080p and 1440p is roughly 20 to 27 FPS depending on the preset, while the delta between 1440p and 4K is roughly 12 to 17 FPS. This suggests that the graphics solution struggles more with the transition from 1440p to 4K relative to the pixel count increase, indicating a hard limit on its rendering capacity.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific CPU and GPU combination at rank 3429 out of 3718 tested combos for Undisputed. That puts it in the bottom 8% of all tested systems. The rank is driven almost entirely by the GPU, since the Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The CPU, by contrast, sits at the 91st percentile among all CPUs, making it a top-tier processor paired with a bottom-tier graphics solution.

The combo rank of 3429 means that 3428 other CPU and GPU pairings delivered higher average frame rates in Undisputed. Only 289 tested combos performed worse. This is a significant placement, and it reflects the fact that the Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution with a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. The GPU's average benchmark score of 1184 places it in the same performance tier as legacy discrete GPUs from over a decade ago, which explains why it cannot sustain high frame rates at demanding resolutions.

For context, the recorded frame rates at 1080p Low (115 FPS) and 1440p Low (83 FPS) are respectable for an integrated solution, but the rank reflects how the combo handles the full range of settings, including Ultra, where it drops to 44 FPS at 1080p and 20 FPS at 4K. The overall rank is a composite measure across all tested conditions, and the poor Ultra and 4K performance drags the ranking down despite the solid Low preset results.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data makes it clear that the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting factor in this pairing. The Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core processor with a 4.90 GHz boost clock and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 26017, placing it at the 91st percentile among all CPUs. Its single-core score of 1614 in Cinebench R23 is also strong. This CPU has more than enough compute power for a sports game like Undisputed, which does not demand heavy multi-threaded workloads.

The GPU, however, has a 25 W TDP and uses system-shared memory, meaning its performance is constrained by the host system's memory bandwidth and capacity. The 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1184 places the Arc B370 at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals in the database include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (avg score 1186, 0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (avg score 1190, 0.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (avg score 1192, 0.7% higher). These are all legacy parts from the early 2010s, which shows how far behind modern discrete GPUs this integrated solution sits.

The scaling between resolutions confirms that the GPU is the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 115 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 83 FPS. At 4K Low, it drops to 52 FPS. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect frame rates to stay similar across resolutions because the CPU workload does not increase with resolution. Instead, the frame rates drop substantially as resolution increases, which is the classic signature of a GPU-limited scenario. The same pattern holds for every preset: the average FPS declines by roughly 25 to 30% from 1080p to 1440p, and another 35 to 40% from 1440p to 4K.

The settings scaling provides additional evidence. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 71 FPS (115 to 44). At 1440p, it is 51 FPS (83 to 32). At 4K, it is 32 FPS (52 to 20). The absolute difference shrinks as resolution increases because the GPU is already saturated at lower settings, leaving less headroom for higher-quality rendering. This behavior indicates that the GPU's pixel throughput and shading capacity are the primary constraints, not the CPU's ability to feed draw calls or process game logic.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent if we consider what would happen with a weaker processor. The Ryzen 9 5950X has a PassMark multithread score of 45424 and a single-thread score of 3470. These figures are far above what Undisputed requires. In a game like this, the CPU needs to maintain a stable frame delivery, and the 5950X has ample headroom. The recorded minimum frame rates at Medium settings (70 FPS at 1080p, 51 FPS at 1440p, 32 FPS at 4K) show that the GPU is the source of the dips, not the CPU. The CPU can sustain frame pacing, but the GPU cannot keep up with the rendering load at higher resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

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

The Ryzen 9 5950X has an average benchmark score of 51947 across all tests. Its closest CPU rivals are within a fraction of a percent. The Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX scores 52073, which is 0.2% higher. The AMD EPYC 8124P scores 52121, 0.3% higher. The Intel Core i9-13900F scores 51730, 0.4% lower. The Intel Core i7-14700 scores 52301, 0.7% higher. All four of these CPUs would deliver virtually identical performance in Undisputed, meaning that if a builder swapped the 5950X for any of these, the frame rates would not change by any measurable amount. The game is not CPU-limited with any of these parts, so the choice among them would have no practical impact on gameplay.

The Intel Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1184. Its nearest GPU rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, 0.7% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4% lower). These deltas are all within 1.5%, so any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 was a desktop discrete card from 2009, and its modern equivalent in performance would be something like a low-end integrated solution. For the purposes of this analysis, a system with any of these GPUs paired with a high-end CPU would land in the same performance band.

It is worth remembering the Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a slot width of "IGP" and no power connectors. This means it shares system memory and its bandwidth is listed as "System Dependent." The performance of this GPU will vary based on the host system's memory speed and configuration. In this test setup, the CPU supports DDR4 dual-channel memory with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is the memory bandwidth figure associated with the Ryzen 9 5950X. Different memory configurations could shift the GPU's performance slightly, but the recorded data represents the measured result for this specific pairing.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Undisputed at 60 FPS on a 1080p monitor?

A: Yes, with the right settings. The database shows that at 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 115 FPS, Medium averages 83 FPS, and High averages 68 FPS. All three clear the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Ultra preset averages 44 FPS, which does not meet the threshold.

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

A: Medium is the best playable setting at 2560x1440. It averages exactly 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 69 FPS. Low also averages 83 FPS and is playable, but Medium offers higher visual quality while still meeting the average threshold. High and Ultra are not playable at this resolution.

Q: Is 4K playable with this combo?

A: No. At 3840x2160, none of the four settings reach the 60 FPS threshold. Low averages 52 FPS, Medium averages 38 FPS, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. The verdict data confirms no playable settings at 4K.

Q: How does this GPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Arc B370 has an average benchmark score of 1184. Its closest rivals are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with a score of 1186 (0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with a score of 1190 (0.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M with a score of 1192 (0.7% higher). All are within 1% of the Arc B370, so they would perform nearly identically in Undisputed.

Q: Why is the combo rank so low if the CPU is high-end?

A: The combo rank of 3429 out of 3718 reflects the GPU's limitations. The Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, which means it is far weaker than the vast majority of graphics cards. The CPU is at the 91st percentile, but in this game the GPU is the bottleneck at all resolutions above 1080p Low. The rank accounts for performance across all settings, and the poor Ultra and 4K results drag it down.

Q: Would a different CPU improve frame rates?

A: No, not for this game. The Ryzen 9 5950X has an average benchmark score of 51947, and its nearest rivals (Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX at 52073, AMD EPYC 8124P at 52121, Intel Core i9-13900F at 51730, Intel Core i7-14700 at 52301) are all within 0.7% of it. Since Undisputed is GPU-limited with this graphics solution, swapping the CPU for any of these would produce essentially identical frame rates.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and Intel Arc B370 can run Undisputed, but only within specific limits. At 1920x1080, the combo clears the 60 FPS threshold on Low (115 FPS), Medium (83 FPS), and High (68 FPS). The best playable setting at 1080p is High, which averages 68 FPS. At 2560x1440, the playable settings are Low (83 FPS) and Medium (60 FPS), with Medium being the best option at exactly the 60 FPS average. At 3840x2160, no settings are playable, as the highest average is 52 FPS on Low.

The verdict data summarizes this clearly: the combo is playable at 1080p and 1440p with select settings, but not at 4K. For a user with a 1080p monitor, this system provides a smooth experience on High settings. For a 1440p monitor, Medium settings will just hit the 60 FPS average, though users should expect occasional dips to around 51 FPS. For 4K, this pairing is not viable for Undisputed, and users would need a significantly more powerful GPU to reach playable frame rates.

The bottleneck is unambiguous. The CPU has ample headroom, with a 91st percentile ranking and multi-core scores that are overkill for a sports title. The GPU, at the 5th percentile, is the limiting factor at every resolution and preset combination. The recorded frame rates show a clear pattern of degradation with increasing resolution and quality settings, which is consistent with a graphics-bound workload. If the goal is to play Undisputed at 1080p or 1440p with medium to high visual fidelity, this combo will deliver playable performance. If the goal includes 4K or maximum settings, this system will not meet the 60 FPS standard.
