Q: What is the GPU's memory configuration and how does it affect 4K?

A: The Arc B570 has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus with 380.0 GB/s bandwidth. At 4K Ultra, the 34 FPS average suggests the memory subsystem is strained, while 4K Low's 89 FPS indicates the bottleneck is more about preset demands than raw bandwidth.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570, built on the Xe2-HPG architecture (Battlemage generation), is the primary driver of Undisputed's visual output. Its 10 GB GDDR6 frame buffer operates at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth across a 160-bit bus. The GPU's 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operations processors provide the computational foundation for the game's rendering.

Clock speeds are fixed at 2500 MHz for both base and boost, which is noteworthy for consistency—the GPU does not rely on thermal headroom for performance bursts. This steady clock behavior translates directly into the measured FPS data: at 1920x1080 Medium, the system holds a 141 FPS average with a 120 FPS minimum, suggesting the Arc B570 maintains stable frequency under sustained load. The 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 360.0 GTexel/s texture rate are adequate for a sports title like Undisputed, which prioritizes character models and arena geometry over extreme particle effects.

At 4K, the GPU's 10 GB memory becomes a limiting factor. The 3840x2160 Ultra preset averages just 34 FPS, a 47% drop from High's 53 FPS. This steep decline indicates that Ultra settings likely exceed the memory bandwidth or capacity threshold for smooth operation. Conversely, 4K Low achieves 89 FPS, showing the GPU can handle the resolution when texture and shading demands are reduced. The 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate and 80 ROPs are sufficient for 4K rasterization, but the 160-bit bus width constrains memory throughput at higher detail levels.

The GPU's benchmark profile reinforces its mid-range positioning. A Passmark G3D score of 14195 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2649 place it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Arc A750, scores nearly identically (20582 vs. 20556), confirming that the B570 is a refined iteration rather than a generational leap. For Undisputed, this translates to solid 1080p performance, capable 1440p, and playable-but-not-ideal 4K on lower presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2986th out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 20th percentile of all configurations. This rank is primarily influenced by the GPU's mid-tier standing—the Arc B570's 65th percentile rank among GPUs is the limiting factor, while the CPU's 89th percentile rank among all processors shows it is not the bottleneck.

Benchmark results indicate the CPU outpaces the GPU in relative performance. The 7500X3D's average benchmark score of 44573 places it 0.2% ahead of the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H and 0.5% ahead of the Intel Core i9-13950HX, while trailing the Intel Core i5-14600 by 0.7%. This puts the processor in elite company, with a 89th percentile rank that means it outperforms 89% of all CPUs in the database. The GPU, by contrast, sits in the 65th percentile, with its average score of 20556 nearly matching the RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, +0.1%) and Arc A750 (20582, -0.1%).

This performance disparity means the combo's rank in Undisputed is GPU-bound. At 1920x1080 Low, the system hits 195 FPS, which is well above typical 144 Hz monitor refresh rates. But at 3840x2160 Ultra, the 34 FPS result is firmly in slideshow territory. The measured data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases, the GPU's limitations become more pronounced, while the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads at 4.00 GHz base and 4.50 GHz boost clock remain sufficient throughout.

The combo's rank also reflects the game's optimization. Undisputed, released in October 2023, is a sports title that does not demand the same GPU resources as AAA first-person shooters. This works in the B570's favor at lower resolutions—the 1080p Medium average of 141 FPS exceeds what many higher-tier GPUs might deliver in more demanding titles. However, the 3718 tested combos include systems with far more powerful GPUs, which explains why this mid-range pairing lands in the lower half of the rankings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers consistently high frame rates across all presets. The Low preset averages 195 FPS, the highest recorded in any configuration. Medium averages 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS, showing tight frame pacing. High averages 116 FPS, while Ultra drops to 75 FPS—still playable but with a 39% reduction from High. The step from Medium to High (141 to 116 FPS) is a 17.7% decrease, while High to Ultra (116 to 75 FPS) is a 35.3% drop, indicating that Ultra settings introduce disproportionately heavy rendering demands.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales predictably. Low averages 141 FPS, matching the 1080p Medium result. Medium averages 102 FPS with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. High averages 84 FPS, and Ultra drops to 54 FPS. The resolution increase from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 27-28% performance across presets: Low goes from 195 to 141 FPS (-27.7%), Medium from 141 to 102 FPS (-27.7%), High from 116 to 84 FPS (-27.6%), and Ultra from 75 to 54 FPS (-28.0%). This consistency suggests the scaling is purely resolution-driven, with no unexpected bottlenecks emerging.

At 3840x2160, the performance cliff becomes evident. Low averages 89 FPS, a 36.9% drop from 1440p Low. Medium averages 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS. High averages 53 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The gap between Medium and High at 4K (64 to 53 FPS) is a 17.2% decrease, similar to the 1080p Medium-to-High gap. However, the High-to-Ultra drop (53 to 34 FPS) is a 35.8% decrease, nearly identical to the 1080p pattern. This indicates that Ultra settings impose a consistent relative cost regardless of resolution.

The data also reveals that the 1440p Medium results (102 FPS average, 86 FPS minimum) provide a better experience than 4K High (53 FPS average), with a 92.5% higher average frame rate. Similarly, 1080p Ultra (75 FPS) outperforms 1440p Ultra (54 FPS) by 38.9%. The takeaway is clear: this combo rewards users who prioritize resolution scaling over preset quality, as dropping one resolution tier yields larger FPS gains than dropping one preset level at the same resolution.

Settings Recommendations

For 1920x1080, the Medium preset is the optimal balance of visual fidelity and performance. The 141 FPS average with a 120 FPS minimum ensures smooth gameplay on standard 144 Hz monitors, while the 120-162 FPS range indicates minimal frame-time variance. High at 116 FPS is also viable for users with 120 Hz displays, but the 17.7% performance cost over Medium may not justify the marginal visual improvement. Ultra at 75 FPS is not recommended—the 35.3% drop from High suggests the preset's added effects are inefficiently implemented in this title.

At 2560x1440, Medium again emerges as the sweet spot. The 102 FPS average and 86 FPS minimum are sufficient for 100 Hz and 120 Hz displays, though users with 144 Hz monitors may notice occasional drops below refresh rate. High at 84 FPS is acceptable for 75 Hz or 85 Hz displays, but the 17.6% reduction from Medium makes it a second-choice option. Low at 141 FPS is viable for competitive play, though it sacrifices visual quality for a 38.2% FPS gain over Medium. Ultra at 54 FPS is borderline—playable for casual matches but not recommended for ranked play where consistency matters.

For 3840x2160, only Low (89 FPS) and Medium (64 FPS) are recommended. Low provides the best 4K experience, with frame rates that stay above 60 FPS for most of the match. Medium's 64 FPS average with a 55 FPS minimum means occasional dips below 60 FPS, which can affect gameplay smoothness on 60 Hz displays. High at 53 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS are both below the 60 FPS threshold and not recommended—the visual gains do not compensate for the frame rate penalty.

In summary, the best experience per the measured data is 1920x1080 Medium (141 FPS average) or 2560x1440 Medium (102 FPS average). Users with 4K displays should accept the Low preset (89 FPS) as the practical ceiling, as the step to Medium costs 28.1% performance for modest visual improvements.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D provides the computational backbone for this combo, and its 6 cores and 12 threads are well-suited to Undisputed's sports simulation demands. The CPU's base clock of 4.00 GHz and boost clock of 4.50 GHz, combined with a 65 W TDP, deliver strong single-threaded and multithreaded performance without thermal throttling concerns. The 5 nm process node from TSMC, with 11,270 million transistors on a 71 mm² die, allows for efficient power scaling.

The standout feature is the 96 MB shared L3 cache, which is critical for the 3D V-Cache design. In a game like Undisputed, where physics calculations and AI opponent behavior are processed continuously, the large cache reduces memory latency and prevents frequent accesses to system RAM. The CPU's memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s via dual-channel DDR5 support ensures that data flows efficiently to the cache hierarchy. The Passmark data compression score of 271649 and integer math score of 70774 reflect the CPU's ability to handle the game's logic and state management.

The CPU's benchmark results place it in the 89th percentile of all processors, with a single-thread score of 3494 and a multithread score of 25047. The floating-point math score of 43594 and extended instructions score of 20455 indicate strong computational throughput for physics simulations. The physics score of 2779, while modest in absolute terms, is sufficient for a sports title that does not demand extreme physics fidelity.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to maintain frame pacing and prevent bottlenecks at lower resolutions. The measured FPS data supports this: at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 195 FPS, which is likely GPU-limited given the Arc B570's mid-range standing. The CPU's 12 threads handle the game's background tasks—AI, collision detection, and input processing—without introducing stutter. The 89th percentile rank means this CPU outperforms the vast majority of processors in the database, ensuring that the GPU remains the limiting factor across all tested resolutions and presets.

The CPU's nearest rivals in aggregate benchmark scores—the Intel Core Ultra X9 388H (0.2% lower), Intel Core i9-13950HX (0.5% lower), and Intel Core i5-14600 (0.7% higher)—all exhibit similar performance characteristics. This confirms that the 7500X3D is not an outlier but rather a well-positioned mid-range processor that complements the Arc B570 without creating a significant bottleneck. For Undisputed, the CPU's contribution is best summarized as providing a stable, high-throughput platform that allows the GPU to deliver its measured FPS figures without interference.
