Undisputed

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Undisputed with the Intel Core i5-9400 and Intel Arc B570 shows a wide performance spread across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 195 FPS, Medium reaches 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS, High hits 116 FPS, and Ultra remains comfortably playable at 75 FPS average. The 1080p results show no frame rate dips below the 60 FPS playability threshold in any preset, making this resolution the most flexible for the combo.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages step down but stay strong for most settings. Low averages 141 FPS, Medium averages 102 FPS with a recorded range of 86 to 117 FPS, and High averages 84 FPS. Ultra drops to 54 FPS, which falls just under the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data indicates that 1440p users should stick to High or lower presets to maintain smooth motion.

At 3840x2160, the demands of 4K become evident. Low averages 89 FPS, Medium averages 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS, High averages 53 FPS, and Ultra drops to 34 FPS. The Medium preset at 4K is borderline: the average clears 60 FPS, but the minimum dips to 55 FPS, meaning occasional stutter can occur during intense sequences. High and Ultra at 4K simply do not sustain playable frame rates.

The scaling pattern across resolutions shows diminishing returns as pixel count rises. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS at High falls from 116 to 84, a reduction of about 28%. From 1440p to 4K, the High preset falls from 84 to 53, a reduction of about 37%. Ultra settings follow a steeper curve, with averages of 75, 54, and 34 FPS across 1080p, 1440p, and 4K respectively. The minimum FPS data, available only for Medium presets, shows that 1080p Medium never drops below 120 FPS, 1440p Medium stays above 86 FPS, and 4K Medium can touch 55 FPS, which is below the playable threshold.

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K follows a GPU-bound pattern, with frame rates dropping as resolution increases. The CPU's nearest rivals show less than 0.5% score differences, suggesting the processor has sufficient headroom across all tested resolutions.

Q: What is the playable settings list for each resolution?

A: At 1920x1080, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) are playable. At 2560x1440, Low, Medium, and High are playable, but Ultra is not. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium being borderline due to its 55 FPS minimum.

The Verdict

This PC can run Undisputed, but the experience depends heavily on resolution. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 75 FPS. This makes 1080p the only resolution where users can enable maximum visual quality without worrying about frame rate drops. At 2560x1440, High settings deliver 84 FPS average, which is the best balance of visual fidelity and performance. Ultra at 1440p falls short at 54 FPS, so it is not recommended. At 3840x2160, the system can handle Low at 89 FPS and Medium at 64 FPS average, but the Medium minimum of 55 FPS means that stutter can occur. High and Ultra at 4K are not viable options.

The verdict by resolution is clear. 1080p Ultra is the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS, averaging 75 FPS. 1440p High is the best choice at that resolution, averaging 84 FPS. 4K Medium is technically playable by average, but the 55 FPS minimum puts it on the edge; 4K Low is the reliable option for a solid 60 FPS experience.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Intel Core i5-9400 and the Intel Arc B570 changes with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence on frame rates because the GPU is not fully stressed. The jump from Medium to High at 1080p costs 25 FPS (141 to 116), while the jump from High to Ultra costs 41 FPS (116 to 75). These are relatively large preset penalties, indicating that the GPU still has headroom but the CPU becomes more relevant at lower resolutions.

At 1440p, the GPU starts to dominate. The Medium preset averages 102 FPS, which is 28% lower than the 141 FPS at Medium 1080p. The preset scaling at 1440p shows a drop from 102 FPS at Medium to 84 FPS at High (18% penalty), and then to 54 FPS at Ultra (36% penalty from High). This steeper drop at Ultra suggests the GPU is nearing its limits with the higher pixel count and more demanding effects.

At 4K, the GPU is the clear bottleneck. The difference between Low and Medium is 25 FPS (89 to 64), between Medium and High is 11 FPS (64 to 53), and between High and Ultra is 19 FPS (53 to 34). The absolute frame rates are low enough that even a faster CPU would not help; the Arc B570's 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 11.52 TFLOPS compute are the limiting factors. The CPU's role shrinks as resolution rises, which is typical for a sports title with moderate physics and AI demands. The i5-9400's six cores and six threads provide enough processing power for the game's simulation logic, but the rendering load at 4K overwhelms the GPU regardless of CPU headroom.

Best Settings per Resolution

The optimal configuration for each resolution is the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which averages 75 FPS. This is the highest preset available and it clears the threshold with a 15 FPS margin. Users can enable all visual features without compromise.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, which averages 84 FPS. The boost to Ultra would drop the average to 54 FPS, below the playable threshold. High provides a substantial 24 FPS margin over the 60 FPS line, making it a safe choice for consistent performance.

At 3840x2160, the best settings are Medium, which averages 64 FPS. However, the minimum recorded FPS for this preset is 55, which dips below the threshold. For users who prioritize a rock-solid 60 FPS at 4K, Low settings average 89 FPS and never dip below 60. The database lists Medium as the best playable setting at 4K due to its higher average, but the minimum of 55 FPS indicates that Low is the more conservative recommendation for competitive play. The choice between Low and Medium at 4K comes down to tolerance for occasional frame rate drops versus visual quality.
