GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is built on Intel's 3 nm process with the Xe3-LPG architecture and Panther Lake chip design. It operates with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, featuring 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output pipelines. The GPU includes 10 ray tracing cores and delivers 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, with a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s.

The memory configuration is entirely system-shared, meaning the GPU draws from the Ryzen 5 7600's DDR5 memory rather than dedicated video memory. The memory bandwidth is listed as system dependent, and the bus width is also system shared. This architecture makes the Arc B370 an integrated graphics solution with a 25 W TDP, fitting into the IGP slot width with no power connectors required. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

In Undisputed specifically, the GPU's shared memory architecture and modest compute resources become the deciding factor in performance. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places the Arc B370 in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are legacy ATI parts like the Radeon HD 5770 and HD 7650M. This positioning explains why the measured FPS in Undisputed drops sharply as settings increase — the GPU lacks the raw throughput to handle higher quality presets, regardless of the capable CPU behind it.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data clearly indicates that Medium settings at 1080p provide the most balanced experience for this combo. At 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the system averages 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. This is the highest quality preset that maintains a consistent frame rate above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the recommended configuration for smooth gameplay.

Low settings at 1080p push performance to 115 FPS, which is ideal for competitive play or high-refresh-rate displays, but the visual trade-off may not be worth it when Medium delivers a 32 FPS gain over High settings while staying well within playable territory. High settings at 1080p drop to 68 FPS, which is still playable but leaves less headroom for demanding scenes. Ultra settings at 1080p fall to 44 FPS, which is below the smoothness threshold most players expect.

At 1440p, Medium settings produce exactly 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS, which is borderline playable. Low settings at 1440p deliver 83 FPS, making it the safer choice for consistent performance. At 4K, even Low settings only reach 52 FPS, so players targeting 4K should expect to compromise heavily on visual quality. The data suggests that Medium at 1080p is the sweet spot, offering a 22% improvement over High settings in frame rate while maintaining a 60 FPS floor.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates its strongest performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 115 FPS, Medium settings deliver 83 FPS with a range of 70 to 95 FPS, High settings achieve 68 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 44 FPS. The step from Low to Medium represents a 28% drop in frame rate, while the step from Medium to High represents an 18% drop. The jump from High to Ultra is the steepest at 35%, indicating that Ultra settings impose a significant load on the Arc B370.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales downward as expected. Low settings average 83 FPS, Medium settings average 60 FPS with a range of 51 to 69 FPS, High settings average 49 FPS, and Ultra settings average 32 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings is 28%, while the drop at Medium settings is also 28%. At High settings, the drop is 28%, and at Ultra settings, the drop is 27%, showing a consistent scaling pattern across all quality presets.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playable frame rates. Low settings average 52 FPS, Medium settings average 38 FPS with a range of 32 to 43 FPS, High settings average 31 FPS, and Ultra settings average 20 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K at Low settings is 37%, while the drop at Medium settings is 37% as well. High settings drop by 37%, and Ultra settings drop by 38%, again showing consistent scaling. The 4K results indicate that the Arc B370 is not suited for high-resolution gaming, as even the lowest settings fail to reach 60 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data reveals a clear pattern of frame rate degradation as resolution increases. From 1080p to 1440p, the system loses approximately 28% of its performance across all settings. From 1440p to 4K, the loss is approximately 37% across all settings. This compounding effect means that 4K performance is roughly 55% lower than 1080p performance at the same settings, as evidenced by the Low preset dropping from 115 FPS to 52 FPS.

This scaling behavior indicates that the Intel Arc B370 is the primary limiting component. The GPU's system-shared memory architecture means that as resolution increases, the demand on memory bandwidth grows, and the GPU's modest compute resources (1280 shading units, 6.144 TFLOPS) are quickly overwhelmed. The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the bottleneck is resolution-driven rather than settings-driven — the GPU is simply unable to fill the additional pixels at higher resolutions.

The Ryzen 5 7600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads based on Zen 4 architecture, is not the constraint here. The CPU's benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12735 and a single-core score of 1852, place it well ahead of the GPU's capabilities. The data shows that even at 1080p Low settings, where the CPU has the least graphical work to do, the system reaches 115 FPS — a figure that suggests the GPU is nearing its limit rather than the CPU. The resolution scaling pattern confirms that upgrading the GPU would yield the most significant performance gains in Undisputed.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture with the Raphael codename. It operates at a base clock of 3.80 GHz and boosts up to 5.10 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor uses the AMD Socket AM5 platform and supports DDR5 memory with dual-channel configuration, offering 83.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It includes 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache, totaling a substantial cache hierarchy for gaming workloads.

The Ryzen 5 7600's benchmark results show a strong all-around performer. It scores 12735 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 1852 in single-core, along with a Geekbench multi-core score of 13413 and a single-core score of 2521. The 3DMark tests reveal scaling from 999 in single-thread to 6503 in max-threads, indicating good multi-threading efficiency. The PassMark multi-thread score of 27058 and single-thread score of 3910 further confirm its capability. These numbers place the CPU in the 78th percentile of all processors, with an average benchmark score of 26324.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU, but its performance headroom ensures it does not become a bottleneck. The nearest rivals — the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (26274, +0.2%), AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (26402, -0.3%), Intel Core i9-11900KF (26212, +0.4%), and AMD Ryzen 5 8540U (26187, +0.5%) — all perform within a fraction of a percent of the 7600. This indicates that the processor is well-matched to the demands of Undisputed, providing sufficient single-thread performance for game logic and physics while leaving the GPU as the clear limiting factor in frame rate. The 5 nm TSMC process node and 6,570 million transistors contribute to its efficiency, but in this combo, the CPU's capabilities far exceed what the Arc B370 can utilize.
