Undisputed

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Undisputed at 4K?

A: Yes, but not at the highest quality settings. The recorded data shows the Intel Core i5-10400F with the Intel Arc B570 achieves an average of 53 FPS at 4K High, 64 FPS at 4K Medium, and 89 FPS at 4K Low. Ultra dips to 34 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best setting for 1080p gameplay?

A: The database shows 1080p Ultra runs at an average of 75 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. This is the most demanding preset that remains playable at this resolution, making Ultra the recommended choice.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rivals?

A: The Intel Core i5-10400F has an average benchmark score of 14185, placing it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rival, the Intel Xeon 6756E, scores 14163 with a delta of 0.2%, meaning the i5-10400F is essentially on par with that Xeon. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, which is 0.6% higher than the i5.

Q: Is the GPU more powerful than the CPU in this pairing?

A: The Intel Arc B570 sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs with an average score of 20556, while the CPU sits in the 68th percentile. The GPU's nearest rival is the Intel Arc A750 with a score of 20582 and a delta of -0.1%, indicating near-identical performance. The pairing is well balanced, but the GPU's raw compute score is higher, reflecting its role as the primary graphics processor.

Q: Which resolutions are fully playable at High settings?

A: Both 1080p and 1440p run at High settings with averages of 116 FPS and 84 FPS respectively. At 4K, High drops to 53 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, so only Low and Medium are playable there.

Q: How does this combo rank against all tested combinations?

A: The combo ranks 2986 out of 3718 tested combinations, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database. Despite this ranking, it still delivers playable frame rates at all tested resolutions when using appropriate settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data for Undisputed reveals a clear pattern where the GPU becomes the dominant bottleneck as resolution increases, while the CPU maintains sufficient headroom throughout. At 1080p, the average frame rates range from 195 FPS at Low settings to 75 FPS at Ultra, with the gap between Low and Ultra being 120 FPS. This wide spread indicates that the Intel Arc B570 is heavily taxed by higher presets, while the Intel Core i5-10400F can feed frames quickly enough at lower settings.

Moving to 1440p, the scaling shows a predictable reduction in performance. The Low preset drops from 195 FPS to 141 FPS, a 28% decrease, while Ultra falls from 75 FPS to 54 FPS, a 28% decrease as well. This consistent proportional drop across presets suggests that the GPU is the primary limiter, as the CPU's workload does not change significantly with resolution. The i5-10400F with its 6 cores and 12 threads, scoring 10283 in Cinebench R23 multicore, has ample single-thread performance (1451 in Cinebench R23 single-core) to handle game logic at these frame rates.

At 4K, the GPU's role becomes even more pronounced. The High preset averages 53 FPS, which is 37% lower than the 84 FPS at 1440p High. The Medium preset at 4K averages 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS, while the same preset at 1440p averages 102 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to 34 FPS, a 37% reduction from the 54 FPS at 1440p Ultra. These consistent reductions across all presets confirm that the Intel Arc B570, with its 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth, is the determining factor at higher resolutions.

The data indicates the CPU is never the limiting component in this game. Even at the lowest resolution and preset (1080p Low at 195 FPS), the i5-10400F keeps pace. The GPU, however, shows clear scaling limitations: at 4K Ultra, it delivers only 34 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The CPU's percentile ranking of 68 versus the GPU's 65 suggests they are roughly comparable in tier, but the game's rendering workload scales more steeply with resolution, making the GPU the decisive component for Undisputed at 1440p and above.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 75 FPS. The database also records 116 FPS at High, 141 FPS at Medium, and 195 FPS at Low, all comfortably above the threshold. Ultra at 1080p is the recommended choice for maximum visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness.

For 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, averaging 84 FPS. Medium runs at 102 FPS, Low at 141 FPS, but Ultra drops to 54 FPS, which fails the 60 FPS requirement. The High preset provides a strong balance, delivering well above the threshold while offering better visuals than Medium.

At 3840x2160, the most demanding playable preset is Medium, with an average of 64 FPS and a minimum of 55 FPS. Low runs at 89 FPS, while High falls to 53 FPS and Ultra to 34 FPS, both below the playable threshold. Medium at 4K is the highest setting that remains playable, though the minimum frame rate of 55 FPS indicates occasional dips below 60.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-10400F paired with the Intel Arc B570 ranks 2986 out of 3718 tested combinations in the database for Undisputed. This places the combo in the 20th percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 80% of tested combinations deliver higher performance. However, this ranking does not tell the full story, as the game remains playable at most settings across all resolutions.

The ranking reflects the mid-range nature of both components. The CPU's average benchmark score of 14185 places it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU's average score of 20556 places it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. The combination of two mid-tier parts results in a system that can handle 1080p and 1440p gaming well, but struggles with 4K Ultra settings. The 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS is the weakest point, while the 1080p Low result of 195 FPS shows the combo's ceiling.

Compared to the 732 other combos that rank below it, this system offers a solid foundation for esports-style play at high frame rates. The fact that it clears 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra and 1440p High indicates that it is well suited for most gaming scenarios, even if it does not compete with high-end configurations in the upper ranks.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i5-10400F has several nearby rivals in the database. The Intel Xeon 6756E scores 14163, just 0.2% lower than the i5's 14185, meaning systems using that Xeon would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Undisputed. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, 0.5% lower, also a close match. On the higher side, the Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, 0.3% higher, and the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, 0.6% higher. All four alternatives would produce essentially the same frame rates in CPU-bound scenarios, which the data shows are rare in this game.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B570's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile with a score of 20534, just 0.1% lower, and the Intel Arc A750 with a score of 20582, 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, 0.4% lower, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X scores 20662, 0.5% higher. Systems using any of these GPUs would show nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed, with the Arc A750 being the closest match for desktop users. The delta values are all within 0.5%, so swapping any of these parts would not meaningfully change the gaming experience.

The Verdict

This PC can run Undisputed across all tested resolutions, but the playable settings vary by resolution. At 1920x1080, the combo clears 60 FPS on all presets, with Ultra averaging 75 FPS, making it fully playable at maximum quality. At 2560x1440, High, Medium, and Low all exceed 60 FPS, with High averaging 84 FPS, while Ultra falls short at 54 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging 64 FPS and Low at 89 FPS; High at 53 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS are not viable.

The verdict is clear: this system is a capable 1080p and 1440p machine for Undisputed, and it can handle 4K only with reduced settings. The Intel Core i5-10400F provides sufficient processing power, and the Intel Arc B570 delivers enough graphics performance for most scenarios, but the 4K Ultra preset is the only configuration that fails decisively. For players prioritizing high frame rates at 1080p or 1440p, this combo is more than adequate. For 4K enthusiasts, Medium settings offer a playable experience, though the minimum frame rate of 55 FPS at 4K Medium suggests occasional stutter. Overall, the system meets the 60 FPS playable threshold for the majority of tested configurations, making it a solid choice for this sports title.
