Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the Intel Arc B370 presents a specific performance profile in Undisputed, a sports title that is clearly demanding on the graphics subsystem. The data shows a system where the integrated GPU is the primary bottleneck, and settings choices have a dramatic impact on playability. This analysis breaks down the measured results to provide practical guidance for configuring the game.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Arc B370 in Undisputed reveals that the Medium preset offers the most balanced experience across all tested resolutions. At 1080p, Medium delivers an average of 83 FPS, which is a substantial 39 FPS higher than High settings and more than double the 44 FPS seen at Ultra. The Low preset achieves 115 FPS at 1080p, but the jump from Low to Medium only costs 32 FPS while presumably providing a significantly better visual experience. The Medium preset at 1440p produces a 60 FPS average, which is exactly on the cusp of smooth gameplay for many users, with a minimum of 51 FPS observed.

At 4K, the situation becomes more constrained. The Medium preset drops to a 38 FPS average with a minimum of 32 FPS. While this is technically playable, it is not ideal for a fast-paced sports title. The High preset at 4K averages 31 FPS, and Ultra falls to just 20 FPS, which is not a viable experience. Therefore, for the best overall experience, the Medium preset is the clear recommendation. It provides the highest playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, and it is the only preset besides Low that keeps 4K averages above the 30 FPS threshold.

For users prioritizing a locked 60 FPS experience, the Low preset is the only option that achieves this at 1440p (83 FPS) and it is the only preset to exceed 100 FPS at 1080p (115 FPS). However, the data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot, offering a 60 FPS average at 1440p and a very comfortable 83 FPS at 1080p. The Ultra preset is not a practical choice for this hardware configuration, as it only manages an average of 44 FPS at 1080p and drops to 20 FPS at 4K.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated GPU (IGP) based on the Xe3-LPG architecture and manufactured on a 3 nm process. Its performance profile is the defining factor in this system's Undisputed results. The GPU's benchmark score in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 is 1184, which places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in this benchmark include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (score 1186, a 0.2% difference) and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (score 1192, a 0.7% difference). This places its raw performance in a historical context, indicating it is a low-power, entry-level graphics solution.

The GPU's clock speeds are listed with a base of 300 MHz and a boost of 2400 MHz. The memory configuration is "System Shared," meaning it relies on the system's DDR4 memory rather than dedicated VRAM. The memory bandwidth is listed as "System Dependent," which means its performance is heavily influenced by the speed and configuration of the main system memory. This shared memory architecture is a key reason for the significant performance drop as resolution increases, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth.

The B370's specifications include 1280 shading units, 40 TMUs, and 20 ROPs. It also has 10 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s and its texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 6.144 TFLOPS. The GPU's TDP is a very low 25 W, and it uses no power connectors, being an integrated solution. In the context of Undisputed, these specifications translate to a GPU that can handle the game at lower presets but struggles with the increased load of High and Ultra settings, particularly at higher resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and steep decline as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, which firmly indicates a GPU-bound scenario. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 83 at 1920x1080 to 60 at 2560x1440, a 23 FPS reduction. Moving from 1440p to 3840x2160, the average drops further to 38 FPS, another 22 FPS reduction. This pattern is consistent across all settings presets. For instance, at High settings, the average FPS falls from 68 at 1080p to 49 at 1440p, and then to 31 at 4K. This scaling behavior is characteristic of a system where the graphics processor is the limiting factor.

The performance drop is not linear but scales with the number of pixels being rendered. The jump from 1080p to 4K represents a four-fold increase in pixel count, and the frame rate at 4K is roughly half or less than at 1080p for all presets. At Low settings, 1080p yields 115 FPS while 4K yields 52 FPS, which is a 45% reduction. At Ultra settings, the reduction is even steeper, from 44 FPS at 1080p to 20 FPS at 4K, a 55% drop. This suggests that the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth limits are being saturated as resolution increases, leaving the CPU with ample headroom.

The fact that the CPU is not the bottleneck is also supported by the CPU's benchmark scores. The Ryzen 5 4600G scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 1919 in single-core, placing it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs. Its average benchmark score is 17507, with rivals like the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scoring 17482 (0.1% delta) and the Intel Core 7 150U scoring 17395 (0.6% delta). This indicates a capable processor that is likely not holding back the integrated GPU. Therefore, the resolution scaling data points directly to the Intel Arc B370 as the performance limiter.

FAQ

Q: What is the best settings preset for a smooth 60 FPS experience at 1440p?

A: The Medium preset is the only one that achieves a 60 FPS average at 2560x1440, with a measured average of 60 FPS and a minimum of 51 FPS. The Low preset runs faster at 83 FPS, but Medium offers a better balance of visual quality and performance for this resolution.

Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 4K with playable frame rates?

A: Yes, but only on lower settings. The Low preset yields a 52 FPS average at 3840x2160, and the Medium preset provides a 38 FPS average with a minimum of 32 FPS. The High and Ultra presets are not recommended at 4K, as they average 31 FPS and 20 FPS respectively.

Q: How does the Ultra preset compare to High at 1080p?

A: The drop from High to Ultra is significant. At 1920x1080, the High preset averages 68 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages only 44 FPS. This 24 FPS difference is a substantial performance penalty for the higher visual fidelity of the Ultra preset.

Q: Is the CPU or the GPU the main bottleneck in this configuration?

A: The data strongly indicates the GPU is the bottleneck. The Intel Arc B370 scores in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, while the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G scores in the 71st percentile of all CPUs. The FPS drops sharply with increasing resolution, which is a classic sign of a GPU-limited system.

Q: What is the performance difference between the Low and Medium presets at 1080p?

A: The Low preset averages 115 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 83 FPS at 1920x1080. This 32 FPS difference is the cost of moving from the lowest to a mid-range quality setting, which still provides a very high frame rate.

Q: How does the Intel Arc B370's performance compare to its nearest rivals?

A: In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the B370 scores 1184. This is nearly identical to the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 1186 (a 0.2% difference), and the AMD Radeon HD 7650M, which scores 1192 (a 0.7% difference). This shows its performance is in line with much older, low-power parts.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 2 architecture (codename Renoir) and built on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 and 512 KB of L2 per core, with a shared 8 MB of L3 cache. The CPU supports dual-channel DDR4 memory, and its memory bandwidth is listed at 51.2 GB/s. It also features integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics, though the system uses the separate Intel Arc B370.

In terms of raw compute, the 4600G's benchmark results are solid for a CPU in its class. It scores 13593 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 1919 in the single-core test. In Geekbench, it scores 6637 multicore and 1460 single-core. Its Passmark multithread score is 15992, and its single-thread score is 2653. The CPU's overall average benchmark score is 17507, placing it in the 71st percentile of all CPUs. This is a strong showing, with its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, scoring 17482 (a 0.1% delta), and the Intel Core i3-14100T scoring 17648 (a -0.8% delta).

Given the FPS data, the CPU's role in Undisputed appears to be secondary to the GPU. The frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings, which are GPU-centric variables. The CPU's high percentile ranking relative to the GPU's low ranking (5th percentile) suggests that the processor has more than enough performance headroom to feed the integrated graphics. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, along with its strong single-thread performance (1919 in Cinebench R23 single-core), are more than sufficient for a sports title like Undisputed, which is unlikely to be heavily multithreaded. Thus, the data shows the CPU is a capable partner that is not the limiting factor in this configuration.
