A: The Arc B390 sits at the 9th percentile of all tested GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 1482 is 1.3% above the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX, 1.5% above the GeForce 800M, 2.5% above the GT 625 OEM, and 2.7% above the GT 710.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific combination of Intel Core i5-11400F and Intel Arc B390 at position 3304 out of 3718 tested combos for Undisputed. That places it in the lower 11th percentile of all configurations measured for this title. The ranking reflects the GPU's position as the primary limiting factor, as the CPU is comparatively stronger in the broader benchmark pool.

The CPU's 71st percentile standing across all processors indicates it has ample headroom for most gaming workloads. The Arc B390, however, sits at the 9th percentile among GPUs, which drags the combined ranking down substantially. This asymmetry is visible in the frame rate data: at 1080p Low, the combo produces 127 FPS, which shows the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower settings, but the GPU cannot maintain high frame rates at elevated presets.

Compared to other combos in the database, this system sits near the bottom quartile. The measured FPS values align with that placement. At 1440p Ultra, the system produces 35 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 1080p Ultra, it manages 49 FPS, still short of the threshold. Only by dropping to Medium or High at 1080p, or Medium at 1440p, does the configuration achieve playable performance.

The gap between the CPU's relative strength and the GPU's relative weakness suggests that pairing the Arc B390 with a less capable processor would yield nearly identical results in Undisputed. The frame rate ceilings at higher presets are consistently GPU-bound, as shown by the steep drops when moving from Low to Ultra at each resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Core i5-11400F, based on average benchmark scores, include the AMD EPYC 7H12 with a score of 17120 (0.3% lower), the Intel Core i5-12450H at 17239 (0.4% higher), the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G at 17278 (0.6% higher), and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U at 17074 (0.6% lower). These CPUs would behave nearly identically in Undisputed, meaning any of them paired with the Arc B390 would produce similar frame rates.

For the GPU side, the Arc B390's closest competitors are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX at 1463 (1.3% lower), the GeForce 800M at 1460 (1.5% lower), the GT 625 OEM at 1446 (2.5% lower), and the GT 710 at 1443 (2.7% lower). These GPUs sit within a narrow performance band around the Arc B390. Substituting any of these for the Arc B390 would result in comparable frame rates in Undisputed, with differences of only a few FPS at most.

The practical implication is that users with any of these CPU alternatives paired with any of these GPU alternatives would experience essentially the same gameplay performance. The delta percentages are all under 3%, which translates to a margin smaller than the typical frame time variance between runs. For Undisputed specifically, the bottleneck at higher settings is so pronounced that CPU choice matters little once the GPU is in this performance class.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers clearly: this PC can run Undisputed at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, but not at 3840x2160. At 1080p, High settings average 76 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold with a 16 FPS margin. At 1440p, Medium settings average 66 FPS, a narrower but still valid margin of 6 FPS above the threshold.

At 4K, no preset reaches 60 FPS. The best result is Low settings at 58 FPS, which is 2 FPS short of the playable threshold. Medium at 4K produces 42 FPS, High produces 35 FPS, and Ultra produces 22 FPS. None of these configurations would deliver a consistently smooth experience.

For the best balance of visual quality and performance, the data supports using High settings at 1080p, delivering 76 FPS average. At 1440p, Medium is the highest playable preset at 66 FPS. Users who prefer 4K output would need to accept Low settings at 58 FPS, which is below the threshold and may exhibit stutter during demanding scenes.

The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: 1080p High is the sweet spot, 1440p Medium is viable, and 4K is not playable by the 60 FPS standard.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear division of labor between the two components. At 1920x1080, the CPU has enough headroom that the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher presets. The frame rate drops from 127 FPS at Low to 49 FPS at Ultra, a 61% reduction that tracks with the GPU's rendering load. The CPU's 3DMark scores, including 5652 at max threads and 868 at single thread, indicate it can sustain high frame rates in this title.

At 2560x1440, the scaling is similar but compressed. Low settings produce 92 FPS, Medium produces 66 FPS, High produces 55 FPS, and Ultra produces 35 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 26 FPS, while the step from Medium to High costs 11 FPS. This pattern suggests the GPU is becoming the dominant constraint as resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is firmly the bottleneck. The frame rates cluster between 22 and 58 FPS across all presets, with even Low settings barely reaching 58 FPS. The CPU's role diminishes to near irrelevance at this resolution, as the Arc B390 cannot render enough frames to stress the i5-11400F.

The scaling between resolutions at the same preset illustrates this. At Medium settings, the frame rate goes from 91 FPS at 1080p to 66 FPS at 1440p to 42 FPS at 4K. That is a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 36% drop from 1440p to 4K. The pixel count increases by 78% from 1080p to 1440p, and by another 125% from 1440p to 4K, but the frame rate drops are smaller, indicating some degree of CPU involvement at lower resolutions.

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. This is the recommended configuration for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is Medium, averaging 66 FPS. The minimum recorded FPS at this setting is 56, which dips slightly below the 60 FPS threshold, but the average remains above it.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves a 60 FPS average. The closest is Low at 58 FPS, which falls short. The verdict list for this resolution is empty, confirming that no settings combination reaches the playable threshold.

For users seeking maximum visual fidelity without dropping below 60 FPS average, the data points to 1080p High as the optimal target. At 1440p, Medium is the ceiling. Pushing to Ultra at any resolution results in averages ranging from 22 FPS at 4K to 49 FPS at 1080p, all below the threshold.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured results are as follows:

• Low: 58 FPS average
• Medium: 42 FPS average, with a minimum of 36 and maximum of 48
• High: 35 FPS average
• Ultra: 22 FPS average

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 92 FPS average
• Medium: 66 FPS average, with a minimum of 56 and maximum of 76
• High: 55 FPS average
• Ultra: 35 FPS average

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 127 FPS average
• Medium: 91 FPS average, with a minimum of 78 and maximum of 105
• High: 76 FPS average
• Ultra: 49 FPS average

Minimum and maximum values were only recorded for Medium settings at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the frame rate fluctuates between 78 and 105 FPS, a 27 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the range is 56 to 76 FPS, a 20 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, the range narrows to 36 to 48 FPS, a 12 FPS spread. This narrowing at higher resolutions indicates that the GPU's consistent load reduces frame time variance, but the overall averages are too low to be playable at 4K.

The data for Low, High, and Ultra presets lacks minimum and maximum values, so the analysis relies on averages for those settings. The averages alone are sufficient to determine playability: 1080p Low, Medium, and High all clear 60 FPS, while 1440p Low and Medium do as well. Everything else falls below the threshold, and 4K has no playable preset.
