Undisputed

Undisputed is a demanding sports title, and the combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and Intel Arc B370 produces a highly resolution-dependent experience. The recorded data shows that this system can deliver smooth, playable frame rates at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but it is not capable of maintaining 60 FPS at 3840x2160 under any settings preset. The Arc B370, which sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs according to the database, is the primary constraint at higher resolutions, while the i5-10400F, a 68th percentile CPU, provides sufficient processing headroom for the game's simulation and physics at lower resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database's nearest rival data for the Intel Core i5-10400F shows that its average benchmark score of 14185 is closely matched by several other processors. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, which is a negligible 0.2% difference, making it a functionally equivalent alternative for this game. Similarly, the Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, placing it just 0.3% ahead of the i5-10400F. On the AMD side, the EPYC 7552 scores 14115, a 0.5% deficit, and the Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, a 0.6% advantage. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame pacing and physics processing in Undisputed, since the performance deltas are all below one percent. The i5-10400F's 6 cores and 12 threads, combined with its 12 MB of shared L3 cache, are not a bottleneck at any of the tested resolutions; the data confirms that the CPU's performance class is sufficient for this title.

For the Intel Arc B370, the situation is different. This GPU's average benchmark score is 1184, and its nearest rivals are all older discrete and mobile graphics solutions. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, a 0.2% difference, while the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, a 0.5% gap. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, which is 1.4% lower. These comparisons place the Arc B370 in a performance tier that is far below modern gaming GPUs, which explains why the system struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K. Users upgrading from any of these older cards would see very similar raw performance in this game, though the Arc B370's support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 means it can handle the game's API requirements without issue. The measured FPS data reinforces this: the GPU's 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 48.00 GPixel/s pixel rate are simply not enough to push high pixel counts at 3840x2160.

Best Settings per Resolution

The verdict data in the database provides clear guidance on the best settings for each resolution, defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the best playable settings are High, which produces an average of 68 FPS. This is the most visually demanding preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold. The Low preset runs at 115 FPS and Medium runs at 83 FPS, but High is the recommended choice because it offers superior visual quality while still maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. Ultra is not viable at this resolution, as it drops to 44 FPS, which is well below the 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Medium, which achieves exactly 60 FPS on average. The Low preset runs at 83 FPS, providing a smoother experience if the user prioritizes frame rate over visual fidelity. High falls to 49 FPS, and Ultra drops to 32 FPS, both of which fail to meet the playable threshold. The Medium preset's minimum FPS of 51 and maximum of 69 indicate some frame time variance, but the average of 60 FPS is sufficient to call this configuration playable. At 3840x2160, the database's verdict lists no playable settings. The closest option is Low, which averages 52 FPS, but this still falls short of the 60 FPS requirement. Medium averages 38 FPS, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. None of these presets can sustain a playable frame rate at 4K, so the system is not recommended for that resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear shift in which component limits performance as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 115 FPS on Low settings, which indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to produce very high frame rates. The i5-10400F's single-thread performance, as measured by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1451 and Passmark single-thread score of 2541, is adequate for the game's logic and player input processing. The GPU becomes the limiting factor when moving from Low to High settings at 1080p, as the frame rate drops from 115 to 68 FPS, a 59% reduction that is attributable to the Arc B370's limited shading throughput and texture rate.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes even more dominant. The Low preset drops from 115 FPS at 1080p to 83 FPS at 1440p, and the Medium preset drops from 83 to 60 FPS. This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the number of pixels being rendered directly impacts performance. The CPU maintains its performance headroom throughout, as evidenced by the fact that the i5-10400F's multi-threaded capabilities, such as its Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 10283, are not tested to their limits even at 1440p Medium. The transition from 1440p Medium at 60 FPS to 4K Medium at 38 FPS further confirms that the Arc B370 is the bottleneck, as the pixel count increase of 2.25 times results in a 37% frame rate reduction.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the limiting factor. Even the Low preset, which reduces the graphical load significantly, only achieves 52 FPS. The i5-10400F's performance class, which places it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs, is more than sufficient for this game's requirements. The data does not show any scenario where the CPU's frame rate contribution changes meaningfully with resolution; instead, all performance scaling is driven by the GPU's inability to handle the increased pixel throughput. Users considering this combination for 4K gaming would need to significantly lower their expectations, as the system simply cannot reach the 60 FPS threshold at that resolution.

The Verdict

The verdict from the measured data is straightforward: this PC can run Undisputed at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold with the High preset, averaging 68 FPS. This is the recommended configuration, as it provides a good balance of visual quality and performance. The Medium preset runs at 83 FPS and Low at 115 FPS, offering alternatives for users who prefer higher refresh rates or need extra headroom for demanding scenes. Ultra is not playable, with an average of 44 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system is playable on Low and Medium settings. The best settings are Medium, which averages exactly 60 FPS. This meets the playable threshold, though the minimum FPS of 51 suggests that there may be occasional dips below 60 during intense gameplay moments. High and Ultra are not viable, with averages of 49 and 32 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, the system fails to reach 60 FPS on any preset. The best option, Low, averages 52 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. Users with 4K displays should run the game at a lower resolution to achieve playable frame rates. The system's overall rank in the game's database is 3429 out of 3718 combinations, placing it in the lower tier of tested configurations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the system's performance across all resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 115 FPS, the highest frame rate recorded for this system. The Medium preset averages 83 FPS, with a minimum of 70 and a maximum of 95 FPS. The High preset averages 68 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 44 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. These numbers show that the system has significant headroom at 1080p, and users can choose between high frame rates on Low or Medium settings or acceptable frame rates on High.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 83 FPS. The Medium preset averages 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 and a maximum of 69 FPS. The High preset averages 49 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 32 FPS. The frame time variance at Medium, as indicated by the 51 to 69 FPS range, is noticeable but does not prevent the configuration from being classified as playable. At 3840x2160, all presets fall below the playable threshold. The Low preset averages 52 FPS, the Medium preset averages 38 FPS with a minimum of 32 and a maximum of 43, the High preset averages 31 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 20 FPS. The data shows a consistent pattern: as resolution increases, the average FPS drops significantly, and the gap between Low and Ultra settings narrows in absolute terms, indicating that the GPU is saturated at 4K regardless of the graphics preset.
