Undisputed

Undisputed, the boxing simulation title released in October 2023, presents a demanding workload for PC hardware. The data measured for this page pairs the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F processor with the Intel Arc B370 graphics solution. This combination ranks near the bottom of all tested configurations, and the benchmark results reveal significant performance limitations. This analysis walks through the measured FPS data, component-level specifications, and scaling behavior to provide a complete picture of what this combo can deliver in Undisputed.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and Intel Arc B370 combination holds the rank of 2592 out of 2813 tested combos for Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 8% of all configurations, indicating that this pairing is not well-suited for high-performance gameplay in this title. The rank reflects the aggregate performance across all tested resolutions and settings, and the data shows a consistent pattern of lower-than-average frame rates.

To contextualize this rank, the GPU component is a major limiting factor. The Intel Arc B370 sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. Its nearest rivals in that benchmark are the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 1186 and is 0.2% faster, and the ATI Radeon HD 5770, which scores 1190 and is 0.5% faster. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192 and is 0.7% faster, while the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168 and is 1.4% slower. These comparisons show that the Arc B370 is competing with hardware from a much older generation, which explains its low standing in the combo ranking.

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 5 8400F is far more competitive. Its average benchmark score of 25005 places it at the 77th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F with an average score of 24964 (0.2% slower), the Intel Core i7-11850H with 24935 (0.3% slower), the Intel Core i7-13620H with 24911 (0.4% slower), and the AMD EPYC 9474F with 25103 (0.4% faster). These deltas are minimal, indicating that the CPU is performing as expected for its class. However, in Undisputed, the GPU bottleneck dominates, and the CPU's relative strength does not translate into high frame rates.

The combination of a mid-range CPU with a very low-end GPU creates an imbalanced system. Benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary constraint across all tested scenarios. The combo rank of 2592 out of 2813 reflects this imbalance, as the overall experience is dictated by the weakest link in the chain.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution based on the Panther Lake chip and Xe3-LPG architecture. It features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster operations pipelines. The GPU also includes 10 ray tracing cores. Its base clock runs at 300 MHz, with a boost clock reaching 2400 MHz. The memory configuration is System Shared, meaning the GPU uses the system's DDR5 memory rather than dedicated VRAM. The memory bus width and bandwidth are also System Shared and System Dependent, respectively.

In Undisputed, this shared memory setup has a direct impact on performance. The GPU's pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. The FP32 throughput is 6.144 TFLOPS, which is modest for modern gaming. The TDP is rated at 25 W, and the slot width is listed as IGP, confirming its integrated nature.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark score of 1184 places the Arc B370 at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. This is a very low score, and the nearest rivals are all older discrete or integrated parts. The data shows that the Arc B370 is not designed for demanding 3D workloads like Undisputed. The boost clock of 2400 MHz is respectable, but the low shading unit count and shared memory bandwidth limit its ability to render complex scenes at high resolutions.

The lack of dedicated VRAM means that the GPU competes with the CPU for memory bandwidth. In Undisputed, this can lead to stuttering or reduced frame rates, especially at higher settings where texture memory requirements increase. The measured FPS data confirms this, with average frame rates dropping significantly as settings increase from Low to Ultra. The GPU's role in this combo is to provide basic rendering capability, but it is not sufficient for a smooth experience at high settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed shows clear resolution scaling trends. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 115 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 83 FPS, and at 4K Low it falls further to 52 FPS. This represents a 55% reduction from 1080p to 4K at Low settings, indicating that the GPU is heavily taxed as pixel count increases.

At Medium settings, the scaling is similar. 1080p Medium shows an average of 83 FPS, 1440p Medium drops to 60 FPS, and 4K Medium reaches 38 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 54%, consistent with the Low setting trend. The Medium preset also includes min and max FPS data: at 1080p, the range is 70 to 95 FPS; at 1440p, it is 51 to 69 FPS; and at 4K, it is 32 to 43 FPS. These ranges show that the frame pacing remains relatively stable, with no extreme dips.

High settings show a more pronounced drop. At 1080p High, the average is 68 FPS. This falls to 49 FPS at 1440p, and then to 31 FPS at 4K. The reduction from 1080p to 4K is 54%, again consistent. Ultra settings, however, show a steeper decline. 1080p Ultra averages 44 FPS, 1440p Ultra drops to 32 FPS, and 4K Ultra falls to 20 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 55%, but the absolute values are very low, making Ultra settings nearly unplayable at 4K.

The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the GPU is the limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see larger frame rate differences at lower resolutions where the CPU has more work per frame relative to the GPU. Instead, the data shows a linear scaling with resolution, which is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. The Arc B370's limited memory bandwidth and compute resources are the primary constraints, and increasing resolution directly reduces the frame rate.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce an average of 115 FPS, which is smooth for most gameplay. Medium settings reduce this to 83 FPS, with a measured range of 70 to 95 FPS. High settings average 68 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 44 FPS. The data shows that 1080p Low and Medium are the only settings that provide consistently high frame rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance decreases noticeably. Low settings average 83 FPS, which is still playable but a significant drop from 1080p. Medium settings average 60 FPS, with a range of 51 to 69 FPS. High settings drop to 49 FPS, and Ultra settings average only 32 FPS. At 1440p, Medium is the highest setting that maintains a 60 FPS average, while High and Ultra fall below that threshold.

At 3840x2160, the highest resolution tested, performance is severely limited. Low settings average 52 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. Medium settings average 38 FPS, with a range of 32 to 43 FPS. High settings drop to 31 FPS, and Ultra settings average only 20 FPS. None of the 4K settings provide a consistently smooth experience, and even Low settings fall short of 60 FPS.

The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution and settings increase, the average FPS decreases in a predictable manner. The only setting combination that exceeds 100 FPS is 1080p Low, and the only combinations that maintain 60 FPS or higher are 1080p Low, 1080p Medium, 1080p High, and 1440p Low. All other configurations fall below 60 FPS, with 4K Ultra being the worst at 20 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture with the Phoenix codename. It has a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. The TDP is rated at 65 W, and it uses the AMD Socket AM5. The processor is built on a 4 nm process node by TSMC, with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. Its cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 with a dual-channel bus and a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 8400F shows strong multi-threaded performance. Its Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 20851, and its single-core score is 2943. The 3DMark scores are also notable: 6091 for 16 threads, 1874 for 2 threads, 3563 for 4 threads, 5275 for 8 threads, 6165 for max threads, and 951 for single thread. PassMark scores include a multi-thread score of 24389 and a single-thread score of 3685. These numbers place the CPU at the 77th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25005.

However, in Undisputed, the CPU's role is secondary to the GPU. The measured FPS data shows that the GPU is the bottleneck, as evidenced by the resolution scaling. At 1080p Low, the CPU is able to feed the GPU enough frames to reach 115 FPS, but this is the ceiling for this combo. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for the game's workload, as the frame rates are limited by the GPU's rendering capability rather than CPU processing power.

The nearest rival CPUs all have average scores within 0.4% of the Ryzen 5 8400F, confirming that the CPU is performing as expected. The Intel Core i7-13620H is 0.4% slower, and the AMD EPYC 9474F is 0.4% faster. These differences are negligible in real-world gaming, and the CPU is not the component holding back performance in Undisputed.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the best experience for this combo is achieved at 1080p with Low or Medium settings. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 115, which provides a smooth and responsive experience. At 1080p Medium, the average drops to 83 FPS, still above the 60 FPS threshold, and the frame range of 70 to 95 FPS indicates minimal stuttering. High settings at 1080p average 68 FPS, which is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes.

For players who prioritize visual quality, 1080p High is the highest setting that maintains an average above 60 FPS. Ultra settings at 1080p average 44 FPS, which is below the smoothness threshold and likely to feel choppy during fast-paced boxing action. At 1440p, Low settings are the only option that provides a consistently smooth experience, with an average of 83 FPS. Medium settings at 1440p average exactly 60 FPS, making it a borderline choice, while High and Ultra fall to 49 FPS and 32 FPS, respectively.

At 4K, no settings provide a satisfactory experience. Low settings average 52 FPS, Medium averages 38 FPS, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. These frame rates are too low for a competitive or immersive experience, and players should avoid 4K with this combo. The data shows that the GPU's shared memory and low compute power cannot handle the pixel count at 4K.

The optimal configuration is 1080p Medium, as it balances visual fidelity with performance. The average of 83 FPS leaves room for occasional dips without dropping below 70 FPS, based on the measured range. For players who prefer higher visual quality, 1080p High is acceptable, but Medium is the safest choice for consistent frame rates. At 1440p, Low is the only recommended setting, and 4K should be avoided entirely.
