Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X paired with the Intel Arc B370 presents an unusual combination for a sports title like Undisputed: a high-end desktop processor with a mobile-oriented integrated graphics solution. The measured data shows a system that is overwhelmingly limited by its graphics component, yielding playable frame rates only at lower settings and resolutions.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate data for this combo reveals a steep and consistent drop as resolution increases, which is the classic signature of a GPU-bound system. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average is 68 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440 at the same High preset drops the average to 49 FPS, a reduction of 19 FPS. Pushing further to 3840x2160 at High brings the average down to 31 FPS, which is less than half of the 1080p figure. This scaling pattern is not linear; the gap between 1440p and 4K (18 FPS) is nearly as large as the gap between 1080p and 1440p (19 FPS). This indicates that the rendering load at 4K is severely taxing the Arc B370’s limited resources.

The Low settings tell a similar story but with higher absolute numbers. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 115 FPS, which is smooth. At 1440p Low, that falls to 83 FPS. At 4K Low, the average drops to 52 FPS. The percentage loss from 1080p to 4K at Low is significant, showing that even with reduced graphical complexity, the pixel count at 4K overwhelms the GPU. The difference between High and Low at 4K (31 vs 52 FPS) shows that lowering settings provides a substantial performance recovery, but it still does not reach the 60 FPS threshold for most users.

The Medium preset provides the only data with min and max frame rates recorded, offering a glimpse into frame time consistency. At 1080p Medium, the average is 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. This shows a relatively stable experience with only a 13 FPS variance between the average and the minimum. At 1440p Medium, the average is 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. The variance here is slightly larger but still manageable. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 38 FPS, with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS. The minimum of 32 FPS suggests noticeable stutter during hectic boxing exchanges, making this resolution less viable for competitive play.

The data shows that the limiting component is unequivocally the Intel Arc B370. The CPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with 6 cores and 12 threads boosting up to 5.30 GHz, is far more capable than what the GPU can feed. The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is entirely attributable to the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth constraints, not the processor’s ability to compute game logic. For this specific combo, resolution scaling is brutal and unforgiving; users targeting 4K will need to make peace with frame rates in the 20s at Ultra or the 50s at Low.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture. It has a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. In synthetic benchmarks, it scores 1060 in 3dmark_single_thread and 1965 in cinebench_r23_singlecore. Its multi-threaded performance is also strong, with a cinebench_r23_multicore score of 15236 and a geekbench_multicore score of 13858. These numbers place it in the 79th percentile of all CPUs tested, indicating solid performance for gaming workloads.

For a game like Undisputed, which is a sports title with a focus on one-on-one boxing, the CPU’s single-thread performance is likely the more critical factor. The Ryzen 5 7600X’s strong single-core scores suggest it can handle the game’s physics and AI calculations without becoming a bottleneck. Even in the worst-case scenario at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS is only 20, the CPU is not the constraint; the GPU is. The fact that the FPS scales so dramatically with resolution changes is proof that the CPU has headroom to spare.

The nearest rivals in CPU benchmarks are the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Core i5-12600K, both with an average score of 27578, which is only 0.2% different from this chip’s average of 27636. Another rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800, scores 27535, a 0.4% difference. This means that swapping the CPU to any of these alternatives would produce virtually identical performance in Undisputed because the GPU is the limiting factor. The 12 threads of the 7600X are more than sufficient for a sports title that does not typically scale beyond a few cores.

The CPU’s cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. This memory hierarchy is designed to reduce latency, which benefits gaming. The processor supports DDR5 memory with a dual-channel bus and a theoretical bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. While memory bandwidth is system-dependent, the combination of fast DDR5 and a capable memory controller ensures that the CPU does not starve the GPU for data. In summary, the Ryzen 5 7600X performs its role admirably, providing a stable foundation that exposes the GPU’s weaknesses rather than adding its own.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is the clear bottleneck in this system. It is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on a 3 nm process. Its base clock is 300 MHz, and it boosts to 2400 MHz. The GPU has 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. This configuration produces a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s. Its FP32 compute is rated at 6.144 TFLOPS.

The most notable limitation is its memory configuration. The Arc B370 uses "System Shared" memory, which means it relies on the system’s DDR5 memory rather than dedicated VRAM. The memory bus width and bandwidth are listed as "System Shared" and "System Dependent," respectively. This is a fundamental weakness for gaming at high resolutions. Dedicated VRAM on a discrete GPU has much higher bandwidth and lower latency than a shared memory pool that must be accessed through the system’s memory controller. This explains why the performance degrades so severely at 4K; the GPU is competing with the CPU for memory access, and the bandwidth is insufficient for the large textures and framebuffers required at that resolution.

In the only GPU benchmark provided, 3dmark_steel_nomad_dx12, the Arc B370 scores 1184. This places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, which is exceptionally low for modern gaming. Its nearest rivals in this benchmark are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 with a score of 1186 (a 0.2% difference) and the ATI Radeon HD 5770 with a score of 1190 (a 0.5% difference). These are legacy discrete GPUs from over a decade ago. This comparison underscores how underpowered the Arc B370 is for a demanding title like Undisputed.

The GPU’s TDP is listed as 25 W, which further confirms its integrated nature. It has no power connectors and occupies an IGP slot width. The measured FPS reflects this: even at 1080p Low, the average is 115 FPS, but pushing to Ultra at the same resolution yields only 44 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 71 FPS, showing that the GPU struggles with the increased shading and texture complexity of higher presets. At 4K, the Ultra preset drops to 20 FPS, which is essentially unplayable. The GPU’s thermal and power constraints are not the issue; rather, its raw compute and memory bandwidth are simply too low for high-end gaming.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and Intel Arc B370 is ranked 2592 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 8% of all configurations. This low rank is expected given the GPU’s performance. The CPU is a high-tier component, but it is paired with a graphics solution that targets basic productivity, not gaming. In a benchmark database context, this combo is a cautionary tale about pairing a strong processor with an insufficient GPU.

The rank of 2592 means that the vast majority of other tested systems, including those with older or cheaper CPUs but discrete GPUs, perform better in this title. The only combos that rank lower than this are likely those with even weaker integrated graphics or extremely old discrete GPUs. For a sports game where smooth frame rates are essential for reading opponent movements, this ranking indicates that the system will struggle to provide a competitive experience at most settings.

The disparity between the CPU’s 79th percentile ranking and the GPU’s 5th percentile ranking is stark. The CPU is comfortably above average, while the GPU is in the bottom tier. In this scenario, the combo’s overall rank is dragged down entirely by the GPU. If one were to keep the Ryzen 5 7600X and swap in any modern discrete GPU, the rank would improve dramatically. The data shows that this combo is severely unbalanced; the processor is capable of supporting far more graphical horsepower.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for this combo is to prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 115 FPS, which is excellent for a fast-paced sports title. The Medium preset at 1080p offers 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS, which is still very smooth and provides better visuals. The High preset at 1080p drops to 68 FPS, which is acceptable but begins to show the GPU’s limits. The Ultra preset at 1080p is not recommended, as the 44 FPS average is below the threshold for fluid gameplay.

For 2560x1440, the situation tightens. The Low preset achieves 83 FPS, which is playable. The Medium preset is the sweet spot, with an average of 60 FPS and a minimum of 51 FPS. This is the highest preset at 1440p that maintains a 60 FPS average. The High preset at 1440p drops to 49 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 32 FPS, both of which are too choppy for a boxing game where timing is crucial.

At 3840x2160, none of the presets provide a truly smooth experience. The Low preset averages 52 FPS, which is borderline playable but may have frequent dips. The Medium preset averages 38 FPS with a minimum of 32 FPS, making it inconsistent. The High preset at 31 FPS and Ultra at 20 FPS are not viable for actual gameplay. For 4K users, the recommendation is to use the Low preset and accept the frame rate, or to lower the resolution to 1440p for a better experience.

The data suggests that the Medium preset at 1440p is the best balance of visual quality and performance for this combo. It provides a 60 FPS average and stays above 50 FPS even in the worst-case measured frame. For users with 1080p monitors, the Medium preset offers a high frame rate with good visuals, while the Low preset is available for those seeking maximum smoothness. Avoid Ultra settings at any resolution, as the GPU lacks the compute power to handle the additional shading and post-processing effects.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of this combo’s performance across three resolutions and four settings presets.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 115 FPS. The Medium preset averages 83 FPS, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. The High preset averages 68 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 44 FPS. This shows a clear progression: each step up in settings costs roughly 15-25 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages 83 FPS. The Medium preset averages 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. The High preset averages 49 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 32 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at the same settings is significant, with a 32 FPS difference at Low and a 23 FPS difference at High.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset averages 52 FPS. The Medium preset averages 38 FPS, with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS. The High preset averages 31 FPS. The Ultra preset averages 20 FPS. The jump from 1440p to 4K is even more punishing, with the Low preset losing 31 FPS and the High preset losing 18 FPS.

The only preset with complete min/max data is Medium. At 1080p, the minimum of 70 FPS is 84% of the average, indicating relative stability. At 1440p, the minimum of 51 FPS is 85% of the average, showing similar consistency. At 4K, the minimum of 32 FPS is 84% of the average. This suggests that the system does not have severe frame time spikes, but rather a steady decline in performance as resolution increases. The absence of min/max data for Low, High, and Ultra presets means we cannot assess their frame time consistency, but the average FPS alone indicates that Ultra is not viable.

In summary, the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X + Intel Arc B370 combo is a low-end performer in Undisputed. The CPU is excellent, but the GPU holds the system back. For a playable experience, users must stick to 1080p or 1440p with Low or Medium settings. At 4K, the system is only marginal on Low. This is not a gaming rig by any modern standard; it is a productivity system that happens to run the game at reduced settings.
