Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with the Intel Arc B370 presents a specific performance envelope for Undisputed, with results that vary sharply by resolution and graphics preset. The database shows this configuration is far more comfortable at 1080p than at higher resolutions, and the recorded frame rates indicate a clear ceiling for this combination.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the pair delivers its strongest results. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 115 FPS. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 83 FPS, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. High settings produce an average of 68 FPS. Ultra settings, however, pull the average down to 44 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance gap becomes more pronounced. Low settings yield an average of 83 FPS. Medium settings average exactly 60 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. High settings drop to an average of 49 FPS. Ultra settings manage only 32 FPS on average.

At 3840x2160, the configuration struggles to maintain playable performance. Low settings result in an average of 52 FPS. Medium settings produce an average of 38 FPS, with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS. High settings fall to 31 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 20 FPS.

The data shows a steep decline as resolution increases. At 1080p, the average frame rate across all settings ranges from 44 to 115 FPS. At 1440p, that range narrows to 32 to 83 FPS. At 4K, the range compresses further to 20 to 52 FPS. The minimum and maximum values are only recorded for Medium settings at each resolution, which provides some insight into frame pacing at that preset. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum is 25 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the spread is 18 FPS, and at 4K Medium, it is 11 FPS. This suggests that as resolution increases, the frame rate variance tightens even as the average drops.

FAQ

A: At 1080p Medium, the average is 83 FPS with a range of 70 to 95 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 60 FPS with a range of 51 to 69 FPS. At 4K Medium, the average is 38 FPS with a range of 32 to 43 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have close rivals in the database, and those comparisons help contextualize the measured results.

The Intel Core i5-14400F sits near several other processors in average benchmark score. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U scores 32233, which is 0.1% lower than the i5-14400F. The Intel Core i9-11900 scores 32226, 0.2% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS scores 32354, which is 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i7-12800H scores 32121, 0.5% lower. These deltas are minimal, so any of these CPUs would likely produce very similar CPU-bound behavior in Undisputed. The i5-14400F has 10 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 2.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its 20 MB of shared L3 cache and 65 W TDP place it as a mainstream desktop part, but the benchmark scores indicate that its nearest rivals span both mobile and desktop platforms.

The Intel Arc B370, by contrast, has a much smaller performance footprint. Its average 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1184. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% higher. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% higher. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% lower. These are all older or lower-tier GPUs, and the Arc B370 is within 1.4% of each of them. This places the Arc B370 in a performance class where even modest increases in graphical load can push frame rates below acceptable levels, which matches the measured FPS data at higher resolutions.

The combination of a mid-range CPU with a GPU that ranks near much older hardware explains the observed bottleneck. At 1080p, the CPU has enough headroom to let the GPU deliver playable frame rates on several presets. At 1440p and above, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, and the frame rates drop accordingly.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this specific pairing ranks 3429 out of 3718 combinations. That places it in the lower portion of all tested configs, roughly in the bottom 8% of the field. The rank reflects the overall capability of the Intel Core i5-14400F and Intel Arc B370 together, not just the CPU or GPU in isolation.

The low rank is consistent with the GPU's percentile standing. The Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning 95% of tested graphics cards score higher. The CPU, by contrast, is at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. This wide gap between CPU and GPU performance suggests that the graphics card is the dominant constraint in this pairing. The CPU has plenty of compute headroom, but the GPU cannot translate that into high frame rates at demanding resolutions.

The measured FPS data supports this interpretation. At 1080p Low, the configuration reaches 115 FPS, which shows that the CPU can feed the GPU effectively at lower graphical loads. As settings and resolution increase, the GPU's limitations become apparent. The drop from 1080p High at 68 FPS to 1440p High at 49 FPS, and then to 4K High at 31 FPS, follows a pattern that points squarely at the GPU as the bottleneck.

The Verdict

This PC can run Undisputed, but the playable range is limited to specific resolutions and presets. The verdict data from the database is clear.

At 1920x1080, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium. The best playable setting is High, with an average of 68 FPS. This means a user can run the game at 1080p with High settings and stay above the 60 FPS threshold, with some headroom before hitting the playability limit.

At 2560x1440, the playable settings are Low and Medium. The best playable setting is Medium, with an average of exactly 60 FPS. This is right at the threshold, so users should expect occasional dips below 60 FPS, given the recorded minimum of 51 FPS.

At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings. Every preset falls below 60 FPS, with Low settings coming closest at 52 FPS. The game is not playable at 4K with this hardware.

The overall picture is that this configuration is a 1080p machine for Undisputed. It can handle High settings at that resolution with a comfortable margin, and it can manage Medium settings at 1440p, albeit right at the threshold. At 4K, the hardware is not sufficient for a smooth experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS varies by resolution.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are High, with an average of 68 FPS. This is the highest preset that clears the 60 FPS threshold at this resolution. Medium settings average 83 FPS, and Low settings average 115 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while remaining playable.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are Medium, with an average of 60 FPS. The recorded minimum of 51 FPS means the game will dip below 60 FPS at times, but the average meets the playable threshold. Low settings average 83 FPS and provide more headroom, but Medium is the highest preset that still averages 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold, so there is no recommended setting. Low settings come closest with an average of 52 FPS, but that still falls short of playable performance.

For users who want the best experience, 1080p High is the recommended target. The 68 FPS average provides a buffer above the 60 FPS threshold, and the visual quality is higher than Medium or Low. At 1440p, Medium is the maximum playable preset, but the narrow margin between the average and the threshold means frame rate fluctuations are likely. The data does not support 4K playability for this configuration in Undisputed, regardless of settings.
