Undisputed

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of Intel Core i7-14700K and Intel Arc B370 in Undisputed shows a steep performance curve that depends heavily on resolution and quality preset. At 3840x2160, the combo struggles across the board. The Low preset delivers an average of 52 FPS, which is the only 4K result above 40 FPS. Medium drops to 38 FPS average with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS. High falls further to 31 FPS average, and Ultra bottoms out at 20 FPS average. None of these 4K results reach the 60 FPS playable threshold, and the gap between presets is significant: moving from Low to Ultra costs 32 FPS on average, a 62% reduction in average frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the picture improves considerably. The Low preset produces an average of 83 FPS, which clears the playable threshold by a wide margin. Medium averages exactly 60 FPS, with a recorded minimum of 51 FPS and maximum of 69 FPS. This makes Medium the most demanding 1440p preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. High drops to 49 FPS average, which falls short of the threshold, and Ultra sinks to 32 FPS average. The delta between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 51 FPS, showing that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as quality settings climb.

At 1920x1080, the combo performs at its best. Low averages 115 FPS, Medium averages 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and maximum of 95 FPS, and High averages 68 FPS. Ultra drops to 44 FPS average, missing the 60 FPS target. The data shows a clear pattern: the Intel Arc B370 can handle 1080p gaming at High settings with headroom, but Ultra is not viable at any resolution tested. The minimum frame rates recorded only for Medium presets indicate that at 1440p Medium, the combo can dip to 51 FPS, while at 1080p Medium it never falls below 70 FPS. This suggests that 1080p Medium has a more stable frame pacing profile.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS average. The best available result is Low at 52 FPS average, but this still falls 8 FPS short of the playable threshold. The verdict data confirms that 4K has no playable settings for this combo.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an exact average of 60 FPS. This is a razor-thin pass, and the recorded minimum of 51 FPS means that during intense scenes, the frame rate can dip below the threshold even though the average qualifies. Low also qualifies at 83 FPS average, but Medium is the highest quality option that maintains the 60 FPS average target.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an exact average of 68 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the threshold, and Medium at 83 FPS and Low at 115 FPS are also playable. Ultra at 44 FPS is not playable. The recommended ceiling for this combo is therefore 1080p High, which balances visual quality with a safe average frame rate.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this CPU and GPU pairing at 3429 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. That places it in the lower 8% of all recorded combinations, which is consistent with the GPU's low overall percentile. The Intel Core i7-14700K is a high-end processor, sitting in the 94th percentile against all CPUs, but the Intel Arc B370 ranks in the 5th percentile against all GPUs. This creates a severe imbalance: the CPU has ample headroom while the GPU becomes the bottleneck in nearly every scenario.

The combo rank of 3429 out of 3718 means that roughly 92% of tested configurations outperform this pairing in Undisputed. This is not a surprise given the GPU's position in the database. The CPU's strong benchmark scores, such as a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 33440.5 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2569, do not translate into gaming performance when paired with a GPU of this class. The measured frame rates are dominated by the GPU's capabilities, and the CPU's power is largely unused in this title.

For context, the CPU's average benchmark score of 69355 places it within 1% of several high-end rivals, but none of that matters for the final frame rates. The combination rank reflects the entire system, and the GPU drags the pairing down to the bottom tier of the database.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i7-14700K has nearest rivals in the database that score almost identically on average. The AMD EPYC 9115 is 0.1% higher in average score, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X is 0.2% lower, the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX is 0.7% lower, and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is 0.9% lower. In practical terms, swapping the i7-14700K for any of these CPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable results in Undisputed, because the GPU remains the limiting factor. A user with an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X or Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the same Intel Arc B370 should expect the same frame rates within a rounding error.

The Intel Arc B370 has an even tighter cluster of nearest rivals. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 0.2% lower, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 0.5% lower, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 0.7% lower, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1.4% higher. These are all older GPU architectures, and the performance deltas are small enough that any of them would produce similar playability characteristics in Undisputed. The ATI Radeon HD 5770, for instance, is a desktop part from a much older generation, yet its database score is only 0.5% away from the Arc B370. This underscores how limited the Arc B370's gaming performance is relative to its modern architecture and process node.

For users considering alternative pairings, the data suggests that the GPU choice matters far more than the CPU in this game. Any of the CPU rivals listed above would maintain the same 1080p High at 68 FPS result, while swapping the GPU for a comparable-scoring part would likely shift results by less than 2%.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Undisputed at 4K?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest average frame rate recorded is 52 FPS on Low settings. Medium averages 38 FPS, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. The verdict data lists no playable settings at 4K.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 1440p?

A: Medium at 2560x1440 averages exactly 60 FPS, making it the most demanding preset that clears the playable threshold. Low also qualifies at 83 FPS, but High at 49 FPS and Ultra at 32 FPS do not.

Q: What settings should I use at 1080p for the best visual quality?

A: High at 1920x1080 averages 68 FPS, which is the highest quality preset that stays above 60 FPS. Medium averages 83 FPS and Low averages 115 FPS, but High is the ceiling for quality without dropping below the threshold.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU in this game?

A: No. The Intel Core i7-14700K ranks in the 94th percentile among all CPUs, while the Intel Arc B370 ranks in the 5th percentile among all GPUs. The measured frame rates are limited by the GPU, not the processor.

Q: How does this combo rank compared to other tested systems?

A: The database ranks this pairing at 3429 out of 3718 combos in Undisputed, meaning it outperforms only about 8% of tested configurations.

Q: Is Ultra settings playable at any resolution?

A: No. Ultra at 1080p averages 44 FPS, at 1440p averages 32 FPS, and at 4K averages 20 FPS. All three fall well below the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: Are there similar GPUs that would perform the same?

A: Yes. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 0.5% lower, the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 0.2% lower, and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 0.7% lower. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1.4% higher. Any of these would produce nearly identical results.

The Verdict

This PC can run Undisputed, but only under specific conditions. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers playable frame rates on High, Low, and Medium presets, with High averaging 68 FPS. This is the recommended configuration: it clears the 60 FPS threshold while offering the best visual quality of the playable options. At 2560x1440, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium averaging exactly 60 FPS and Low averaging 83 FPS. The Medium result is borderline because the minimum dips to 51 FPS, so users who prioritize consistency should consider Low. At 3840x2160, no settings are playable, with the best result being Low at 52 FPS average.

The verdict data confirms this split: 1920x1080 has three playable settings with High as the best, 2560x1440 has two playable settings with Medium as the best, and 3840x2160 has none. The Intel Arc B370 is the decisive factor. The CPU is far more capable than this workload requires, and the GPU's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs explains why the system sits at 3429 out of 3718 combos. For a user targeting 1080p gaming at High settings, this pairing is adequate. For 1440p, it is marginal. For 4K, it is not viable.
