Undisputed

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Undisputed at 1080p?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows playable performance on High, Low, and Medium presets. High settings deliver an average of 68 FPS, Medium averages 83 FPS, and Low reaches 115 FPS, all above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best playable settings preset at 1440p?

A: At 2560x1440, the verdict identifies Low and Medium as playable presets. The best playable setting is Medium with an average of 60 FPS, exactly matching the playable threshold. The minimum recorded at Medium is 51 FPS, so there are occasional dips below 60.

Q: Is 4K gaming viable with this hardware?

A: No. At 3840x2160, none of the four tested presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) reach the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best result is Low at 52 FPS average, which still falls short.

Q: How does the GPU compare to similar hardware?

A: The Intel Arc B370 scores 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (score 1186, 0.2% faster), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (score 1190, 0.5% faster), and AMD Radeon HD 7650M (score 1192, 0.7% faster).

Q: What is the CPU's performance standing?

A: The Intel Core i7-14700KF ranks in the 94th percentile among all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 70163, with close rivals being the AMD Ryzen 7 9700F (69996, 0.2% slower), AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (69875, 0.4% slower), and AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (69515, 0.9% slower).

Q: Does the game run at Ultra settings anywhere?

A: No. Across all three resolutions tested (1080p, 1440p, and 4K), the Ultra preset fails to reach 60 FPS. The best Ultra result is 44 FPS at 1080p, followed by 32 FPS at 1440p and 20 FPS at 4K.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a system where the GPU is the dominant constraint for Undisputed, but the degree of GPU limitation varies sharply with resolution. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra presets is dramatic: 115 FPS versus 44 FPS, a span of 71 FPS. This scaling indicates that the Intel Arc B370, with its 5th percentile GPU ranking, is the primary bottleneck at this resolution, as the CPU's 94th percentile standing provides ample headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with narrower margins. Low delivers 83 FPS, Medium 60 FPS, High 49 FPS, and Ultra 32 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 23 FPS, and from Medium to High another 11 FPS. This consistent degradation suggests the GPU workload is increasing proportionally with visual complexity, while the CPU continues to feed frames adequately.

At 3840x2160, the GPU constraint becomes absolute. Low averages 52 FPS, Medium 38 FPS, High 31 FPS, and Ultra 20 FPS. None of these reach the 60 FPS threshold. The pattern here is telling: even the lowest settings preset cannot overcome the GPU's limited pixel throughput. The Arc B370's 48.00 GPixel/s pixel rate and 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 performance are simply insufficient for 4K rendering in this title.

The CPU's role is best understood through the resolution scaling. From 1080p to 1440p, the Low preset drops from 115 to 83 FPS, a 28% reduction. From 1440p to 4K, Low falls from 83 to 52 FPS, another 37% reduction. These are GPU-driven declines. The i7-14700KF, with its Cinebench R23 multicore score of 44167 and single-core score of 6235, does not appear to be the limiting factor at any resolution. In a sports game like Undisputed, the CPU handles game logic and AI, but the measured FPS scaling aligns entirely with GPU workload increases.

For practical builder advice: at 1080p, the CPU has significant headroom to spare, and the GPU determines the experience. At 1440p, the balance shifts slightly, but the GPU still governs playability. At 4K, the GPU alone decides whether the game runs, and it does not. The data shows no scenario where CPU performance becomes the constraint, which means upgrading the GPU would yield the largest FPS gains, while CPU upgrades would provide little benefit for this specific title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080:

• Low: 115 FPS average
• Medium: 83 FPS average, 70 FPS minimum, 95 FPS maximum
• High: 68 FPS average
• Ultra: 44 FPS average

At 1080p, the playable presets are Low, Medium, and High, all exceeding 60 FPS. The Medium preset shows a minimum of 70 FPS, which stays comfortably above the threshold. High at 68 FPS is playable but leaves less margin for demanding scenes. Ultra falls to 44 FPS, which is not playable.

2560x1440:

• Low: 83 FPS average
• Medium: 60 FPS average, 51 FPS minimum, 69 FPS maximum
• High: 49 FPS average
• Ultra: 32 FPS average

At 1440p, Low and Medium are the only playable presets. Medium sits exactly at the 60 FPS average threshold, but the 51 FPS minimum means there will be stutter-prone moments. Low at 83 FPS is the safer choice for consistent smoothness. High at 49 FPS and Ultra at 32 FPS are both below the playable line.

3840x2160:

• Low: 52 FPS average
• Medium: 38 FPS average, 32 FPS minimum, 43 FPS maximum
• High: 31 FPS average
• Ultra: 20 FPS average

At 4K, no preset reaches the playable threshold. Low is the closest at 52 FPS, but it still falls 8 FPS short. Medium, High, and Ultra all sit well below 60 FPS, with Ultra dropping to 20 FPS, which would be a slideshow-like experience. The 32 FPS minimum for Medium indicates severe frame pacing issues at this resolution.

The data shows a clear hierarchy: 1080p Low provides the highest average at 115 FPS, while 4K Ultra provides the lowest at 20 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one with full min/max data across all resolutions, allowing a view of frame variability. At 1080p Medium, the range is 70 to 95 FPS, a 25 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the range narrows to 51 to 69 FPS, an 18 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, the range is 32 to 43 FPS, an 11 FPS spread. This tightening range as resolution increases suggests the GPU is becoming more consistently saturated, reducing variability but also lowering overall performance.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Undisputed has a resolution-dependent answer. The data indicates yes at 1080p and 1440p, but no at 4K.

At 1920x1080, the verdict lists High, Low, and Medium as playable settings. The best playable setting is High with an average of 68 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold, though not a huge one. For players who want maximum smoothness, Low at 115 FPS or Medium at 83 FPS are better choices. Ultra at 44 FPS is not viable.

At 2560x1440, the verdict lists Low and Medium as playable. The best playable setting is Medium with an average of exactly 60 FPS. This is a borderline result: the average meets the threshold, but the 51 FPS minimum means some scenes will dip below. Low at 83 FPS is the more reliable option for consistent 60+ FPS gameplay. High at 49 FPS and Ultra at 32 FPS are not playable.

At 3840x2160, the verdict lists no playable settings. The best result is Low at 52 FPS, which still fails the 60 FPS requirement. For 4K display owners, this hardware combination cannot deliver a playable experience in Undisputed, regardless of settings.

The practical takeaway: this system is a 1080p and 1440p machine for Undisputed. At 1080p, players have three preset options above the threshold. At 1440p, they have two, with Medium being a marginal pass. At 4K, they have none. The GPU is the limiting factor throughout, and the CPU's strong benchmark scores do not compensate for the Arc B370's low GPU ranking.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Intel Core i7-14700KF's nearest rivals in the database are closely matched. The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F has an average score of 69996, just 0.2% slower. The AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX scores 69875, 0.4% slower. The AMD Ryzen 9 7950X scores 69515, 0.9% slower. The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K scores 70879, which is 1% faster. For this game, any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically, since the GPU is the bottleneck. Choosing among them would not change the measured FPS results in Undisputed.

The Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals are all older or lower-tier parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2% faster. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5% faster. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7% faster. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4% slower. This grouping places the Arc B370 at the very bottom of the GPU performance spectrum, consistent with its 5th percentile ranking. Any of these alternatives would produce essentially the same FPS numbers in Undisputed, meaning none would unlock 4K playability or dramatically improve 1440p performance.

For builders considering alternatives, the data suggests that CPU swaps within this rival group would have no measurable impact on Undisputed performance. GPU swaps, however, would need to target significantly higher-tier hardware to change the verdict at 4K. The current GPU's nearest rivals are all within 1.4% of its score, so none represent an upgrade path. A meaningful improvement would require jumping to a GPU with a much higher benchmark score, which the database shows would be necessary to push 4K past the 52 FPS Low preset result.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i7-14700KF and Intel Arc B370 ranks 3429 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 8% of all combinations in the database, which is expected given the GPU's 5th percentile standing. The CPU's 94th percentile ranking does little to lift the overall combo position because the game's FPS is GPU-bound at every resolution tested.

The rank reflects the measured reality: this combo handles 1080p and 1440p with select playable presets, but fails at 4K entirely. Among the 3718 combos, 3428 perform better in this game, and 289 perform worse. The low rank is almost entirely attributable to the Arc B370's limited pixel throughput and FP32 compute, not the i7-14700KF.

For context, the CPU alone is a top-tier part, but the GPU is a bottom-tier part. The combo rank of 3429 out of 3718 shows that pairing a high-end CPU with a low-end GPU produces a system that is only suitable for low and medium settings at mainstream resolutions. The data indicates that in Undisputed, the GPU choice dominates the overall ranking, and this specific pairing is one of the weaker configurations in the database for this title.
