Undisputed

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Undisputed with the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X and Intel Arc B390 spans three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results. The Low preset averages 127 FPS, while Medium drops to 91 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 105 FPS. High settings produce 76 FPS on average. Ultra is the only preset at this resolution that falls short of the 60 FPS threshold, averaging 49 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance scales down noticeably. Low settings average 92 FPS, which remains well above the playability threshold. Medium averages 66 FPS, with the recorded range spanning 56 FPS to 76 FPS, meaning the minimum dips slightly below 60 FPS even though the average clears it. High settings drop to 55 FPS on average, and Ultra falls to 35 FPS. At this resolution, only Low and Medium meet the 60 FPS average requirement.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes substantially. Low settings average 58 FPS, just under the 60 FPS threshold. Medium averages 42 FPS with a range of 36 to 48 FPS. High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. None of the 4K presets clear the 60 FPS bar, making this resolution unplayable by the database's standard. The data shows a steep drop from 1440p to 4K, particularly at Medium and High settings, where average FPS falls by roughly 36% and 37% respectively.

The minimum and maximum FPS values are only recorded for Medium presets across all three resolutions. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum is 27 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the spread narrows to 20 FPS. At 4K Medium, the spread is 12 FPS. This tightening range at higher resolutions suggests the frame pacing becomes more consistent as the GPU becomes the limiting factor, though the overall averages continue to decline.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Ryzen 9 7900X is a high-end desktop processor with 12 cores and 24 threads, a base clock of 4.70 GHz, and a boost clock of 5.60 GHz. Its benchmark scores place it in the 91st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 53288. The Arc B390, by contrast, sits in the 9th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1482 based on a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. This massive gap in relative standing explains why the GPU dominates the performance picture in Undisputed.

The scaling between resolutions confirms this. From 1080p Low to 1440p Low, the average FPS drops from 127 to 92, a 27.6% reduction. From 1440p Low to 4K Low, it drops from 92 to 58, a 37% reduction. This pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario: as pixel count increases, the integrated graphics unit's limited throughput becomes the bottleneck. The CPU's substantial headroom, evidenced by its 3DMark multi-threaded score of 12536 and single-thread score of 1093, does not compensate for the GPU's constraints.

The preset scaling at each resolution further illustrates the GPU's dominant role. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium costs 36 FPS, from Medium to High costs 15 FPS, and from High to Ultra costs 27 FPS. At 1440p, the corresponding drops are 26, 11, and 20 FPS. At 4K, they are 16, 7, and 13 FPS. The diminishing absolute differences at higher resolutions indicate that the GPU is already saturated, so preset changes have less absolute impact even though the relative cost remains similar.

The CPU's role is minimal in this title. The Ryzen 9 7900X's passmark single-thread score of 4238 and multi-thread score of 51406 are far beyond what Undisputed, a sports game, demands. The data does not show any scenario where the CPU limits performance; even at 1080p Low with 127 FPS average, the GPU is still the constraint. The integrated graphics architecture of the Arc B390, with its system-shared memory and 80 W TDP, is the determining factor across every resolution and preset combination.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 9 7900X and Intel Arc B390 ranks 3304 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 11.1% of all configurations in the database. The ranking reflects the GPU's low percentile standing rather than any CPU deficiency. The Ryzen 9 7900X alone ranks in the 91st percentile among CPUs, but the Arc B390's 9th percentile GPU standing drags the overall combo down significantly.

The practical implication is that this system behaves like a low-end graphics solution paired with an exceptionally capable processor. In a game like Undisputed, which relies heavily on GPU throughput for rendering boxers, arenas, and crowd scenes, the combo's rank accurately predicts its performance profile: playable at 1080p with most presets, partially playable at 1440p with reduced settings, and unplayable at 4K by the 60 FPS standard.

The rank also contextualizes the FPS data. A combo in the bottom 11% of tested configurations still manages 76 FPS at 1080p High and 66 FPS at 1440p Medium, which shows that Undisputed is not an exceptionally demanding title. The game's release date of October 2023 places it alongside titles that target mainstream hardware, and the measured performance aligns with that expectation. The combo's low rank is more a reflection of the GPU's absolute weakness than of the game's requirements being unusually steep.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide useful context for what other hardware would behave similarly. For the Ryzen 9 7900X, the closest matches in average benchmark score are the AMD EPYC 7313P, which scores 53206 and is 0.2% behind, and the Intel Xeon Phi 7290, which scores 53469 and is 0.3% ahead. The Intel Xeon 634 scores 52974, sitting 0.6% behind, while the Intel Core i7-14700F scores 53620, 0.6% ahead. These deltas are all within a single percentage point, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver effectively identical processor performance in Undisputed.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest GPU rivals are all NVIDIA parts from older generations. The GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, which is 1.3% behind. The GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% behind. The GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% behind, and the GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% behind. These are all integrated or entry-level discrete GPUs from a much older era, which underscores how limited the Arc B390's raw graphics throughput really is. In practice, swapping the Arc B390 for any of these NVIDIA parts would yield nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed, with differences of just a few FPS at most.

A system with a Ryzen 9 7900X paired with any of these rival GPUs would produce the same overall experience: strong CPU headroom, GPU-bound performance, and the same resolution and preset limitations. The CPU rivals, being server or high-end desktop parts, would not change gaming performance at all since Undisputed does not stress the processor to any meaningful degree. The GPU rivals, being similarly weak, would replicate the same frame rate ceilings and floor behavior.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers clearly: this PC can run Undisputed at 1080p and 1440p, but not at 4K. At 1920x1080, the playable settings include High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best playable preset at 76 FPS average. At 2560x1440, Low and Medium are playable, with Medium the best option at 66 FPS average. At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings; the closest is Low at 58 FPS average, which falls short of the 60 FPS threshold.

The verdict by resolution confirms this split. The database lists playable settings for 2560x1440 as Low and Medium, with Medium as the best at 66 FPS. For 1920x1080, it lists High, Low, and Medium as playable, with High as the best at 76 FPS. For 3840x2160, the playable settings list is empty, meaning no preset reaches the required average frame rate.

The overall picture is that this combination is a capable 1080p gaming setup for Undisputed, a passable 1440p setup with reduced settings, and not viable for 4K. The CPU is far stronger than the GPU, so any upgrade path would focus on the graphics side to unlock higher resolutions and presets.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 76 FPS. Medium and Low also clear the threshold, but High offers the best visual quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. Ultra does not qualify at 49 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is Medium, with an average of 66 FPS. Low is also playable at 92 FPS, but Medium provides better visuals while still staying above the 60 FPS average. The minimum recorded at Medium is 56 FPS, so there may be brief dips below the threshold, but the average remains solid. High and Ultra do not qualify at 55 FPS and 35 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, no preset qualifies. The closest is Low at 58 FPS average, which misses the 60 FPS threshold by just 2 FPS. Medium averages 42 FPS, High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 22 FPS. Users targeting 4K would need to consider a different GPU, as the Arc B390 cannot sustain playable frame rates at this resolution in Undisputed.
