Best Settings per Resolution

The measured data indicates that the most demanding preset maintaining at least 60 FPS average varies significantly by resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear winner. With an average of 75 FPS, it provides the highest visual fidelity while still delivering headroom above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Medium preset offers 141 FPS average, and High reaches 116 FPS, but Ultra is the best choice for those seeking maximum quality without sacrificing smoothness.

Moving to 2560x1440, the situation changes. The High preset is the most demanding option that stays playable, achieving an average of 84 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 54 FPS, which fails the playability criterion. The Medium preset runs at 102 FPS, but High provides superior visual quality while still maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the ceiling. It averages 64 FPS, just above the threshold, with measured minimums of 55 FPS and maximums of 74 FPS. The High preset at 53 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS are both below the playable threshold, meaning users must accept Medium settings for a smooth 4K experience.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to the overall experience in Undisputed.

The data shows that the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck as resolution increases. At 1080p, the system achieves 195 FPS on Low settings, indicating that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high rates. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p reduces performance to 75 FPS, a 62% drop, which is primarily a GPU workload increase. The CPU, with its 12 cores and 24 threads, maintains sufficient frame pacing even at these high rates.

At 1440p, the pattern continues but with a more pronounced GPU limitation. The Low preset hits 141 FPS, while Ultra falls to 54 FPS. The CPU still provides ample headroom, as evidenced by the 141 FPS Low result, but the GPU's rendering load at Ultra exceeds its capabilities. The scaling from 1080p Low (195 FPS) to 1440p Low (141 FPS) shows a 28% reduction, consistent with the increased pixel count.

The 4K results definitively demonstrate GPU-bound behavior. Even at Low settings, the system only reaches 89 FPS, compared to 195 FPS at 1080p Low. This 54% reduction is far larger than the pixel count increase would suggest, indicating that the Arc B570's memory bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s and 10 GB of VRAM become limiting factors. The Ultra preset at 4K, averaging 34 FPS, shows that the GPU is saturated well below the CPU's potential.

Across all resolutions, the CPU's role remains consistent. The Ryzen 9 7900X, with its 5.60 GHz boost clock and 64 MB of shared L3 cache, ensures that frame rates are not CPU-limited even in the lightest GPU scenarios. The GPU is the determining factor for playability at higher resolutions and presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for both components provide context for what other hardware might behave similarly in Undisputed.

For the CPU, the AMD EPYC 7313P is the closest match, with an average benchmark score of 53,206 versus the Ryzen 9 7900X's 53,288, a delta of just 0.2%. In gaming scenarios with this GPU, users would see nearly identical CPU-driven frame rates. The Intel Xeon Phi 7290 (53,469, 0.3% faster) and the Intel Core i7-14700F (53,620, 0.6% faster) would also deliver effectively the same CPU performance. The Intel Xeon 634 (52,974, 0.6% slower) rounds out the group, with negligible differences in real-world gaming.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is the closest rival, scoring 20,534 compared to the Arc B570's 20,556, a 0.1% difference. In practice, this means identical frame rates in Undisputed at all resolutions. The Intel Arc A750 (20,582, 0.1% faster) would be essentially indistinguishable, as would the AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20,662, 0.5% faster) and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20,480, 0.4% slower). Users considering any of these GPUs should expect the same 1080p, 1440p, and 4K performance characteristics.
