Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-14400F paired with an Intel Arc B570 delivers a highly capable 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, with 4K gameplay limited to medium settings. The data reveals a configuration that easily handles high-refresh-rate monitors at 1920x1080 and maintains fluid motion at 2560x1440, but hits a performance ceiling at Ultra settings when pushing 3840x2160 pixels.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces abundant frame rates across all presets. Low settings yield an average of 195 FPS, the highest figure recorded for this configuration. Medium settings deliver 141 FPS average (min 120, max 162), while High settings produce 116 FPS average. Even Ultra settings, the most demanding preset, hold an average of 75 FPS. No minimum or maximum values were recorded for Low, High, or Ultra at this resolution, but the available Medium data shows a tight band of 120 to 162 FPS, indicating consistent performance.

At 2560x1440, performance scales downward as expected but remains strong. Low settings average 141 FPS, Medium averages 102 FPS (min 86, max 117), and High averages 84 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to 54 FPS average, with no min or max data provided, which places it below the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the resolution exposes the Arc B570’s memory bandwidth limits. Low settings average 89 FPS, Medium averages 64 FPS (min 55, max 74), and High averages 53 FPS. Ultra settings crawl to 34 FPS average, the lowest score across any resolution or preset. The Medium preset data shows a noticeable gap of 19 FPS between its minimum and maximum, suggesting some scene-to-scene variability at 4K.

Best Settings per Resolution

The best settings at each resolution are defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average FPS at or above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 75 FPS. This means the configuration can max out the game’s graphical options at this resolution while keeping a comfortable margin above the playability floor.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, producing an average of 84 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 54 FPS, which is below the threshold, so High represents the visual ceiling that still guarantees smooth playback.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Medium, averaging 64 FPS. High dips to 53 FPS and Ultra to 34 FPS, making Medium the only preset above 60 FPS at 4K. The Medium preset’s average does just barely clear the bar, with a recorded minimum of 55 FPS indicating occasional dips below 60.

CPU and GPU Roles

Benchmark results indicate that the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low (195 FPS) and Ultra (75 FPS) is 120 FPS, or a 61.5% drop. This large scaling shows that the Arc B570 is heavily taxed by the Ultra preset even at 1080p, while the Core i5-14400F provides enough headroom to push 195 FPS on Low. The CPU, with its 10 cores and 16 threads, clearly feeds the GPU adequately at lower settings.

At 2560x1440, the gap from Low (141 FPS) to Ultra (54 FPS) is 87 FPS, a 61.7% drop. The pattern holds: higher presets reveal the GPU’s limits more than the CPU’s. The Ultra preset at 1440p lands below 60 FPS, whereas the same preset at 1080p averages 75 FPS — a 21 FPS improvement from simply dropping resolution, which is a clear GPU-bound behavior.

At 3840x2160, the spread from Low (89 FPS) to Ultra (34 FPS) is 55 FPS, a 61.8% decline. The CPU influence is minimal at this resolution; the Core i5-14400F likely idles relative to its capability. The Arc B570’s 160-bit memory bus and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors, as evidenced by the Ultra preset averaging just 34 FPS. The CPU’s Geekbench single-core score of 2058 and multi-core score of 11268 indicate plenty of processing power, but the GPU’s 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 80 ROPs cannot sustain high frame rates at 4K with advanced settings.

Comparing resolution scaling: Medium settings drop from 141 FPS at 1080p to 102 FPS at 1440p (27.7% reduction), then to 64 FPS at 4K (54.6% reduction from 1080p). This progressive decline confirms the GPU is the performance anchor in this pairing, with the CPU adequately feeding frames even at the lowest resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of Intel Core i5-14400F and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2986 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it near the 19.7th percentile among all recorded configurations. While the raw rank may seem low, context is important: the database includes high-end combos with flagship CPUs and GPUs that far exceed the Arc B570’s performance class. The combo’s position reflects its mid-range standing; it outperforms roughly one-fifth of tested systems but falls behind the majority that use more powerful GPUs.

The 65th percentile ranking of the Arc B570 among all GPUs (and the 83rd percentile of the Core i5-14400F among all CPUs) suggests the CPU is the stronger component in this pairing. The GPU percentile (65) is notably lower than the CPU percentile (83), reinforcing that the Arc B570 is the limiting factor for the highest settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For users considering comparable hardware, the nearest rival to the Intel Core i5-14400F based on average benchmark score is the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 8840U, with a delta of only 0.1%. The Intel Core i9-11900 is equally close at 0.2% faster. On the other side, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS is 0.2% slower, and the Intel Core i7-12800H is 0.5% slower. Any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical Undisputed frame rates when paired with the same GPU, as the game is not especially CPU-intensive at typical settings.

For the Intel Arc B570, its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (0.1% faster) and the Intel Arc A750 (0.1% slower). The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M is 0.4% faster, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X is 0.5% slower. The Arc A750 is particularly notable — it is the same generation’s higher-tier desktop card from Intel and offers near-identical performance to the B570 in aggregate. Users with an Arc A750 would see effectively the same FPS in Undisputed. The RTX 3070 Mobile, while a laptop part, matches the B570’s average score closely, though desktop RTX 3070 cards would likely outperform.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Undisputed at 4K?

A: Yes, but only at Medium settings, where it averages 64 FPS. Low settings average 89 FPS, while High drops to 53 FPS and Ultra to 34 FPS.

Q: What is the best preset this combo can handle at 1440p?

A: High settings produce an average of 84 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playability threshold. Ultra settings fall to 54 FPS and are not recommended.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU more important for this game at 1080p?

A: The GPU is the limiting factor at 1080p, especially at Ultra settings. The CPU’s 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs is more than sufficient; the Arc B570’s 65th percentile ranking is the bottleneck, as shown by the 120 FPS drop from Low to Ultra.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B570 compare to the Intel Arc A750?

A: The Arc A750 is a near-exact match, with an average benchmark score 0.1% lower than the Arc B570. Users would experience virtually identical performance in Undisputed.

Q: What is the playable settings recommendation for 1080p?

A: All four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable. Ultra averages 75 FPS, offering the best visual quality while staying well above 60 FPS.

Q: Does the Core i5-14400F bottleneck the Arc B570 in this game?

A: No. The data shows that performance scales primarily with GPU load. At 4K Ultra, the combo averages only 34 FPS, indicating the GPU is fully saturated. The CPU’s single-core Geekbench score of 2058 and multi-core score of 11268 are more than adequate to drive the Arc B570.
