Undisputed

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the Intel Arc B370 lands at rank 2592 out of 2813 tested combinations in Undisputed. That places this combo in the bottom 8% of all tested systems, a position that strongly suggests the graphics side is the primary constraint. The GPU's standalone percentile ranking is 5, meaning it outperforms only 5% of all GPUs in the database, while the CPU sits at the 84th percentile among all processors. The asymmetry is stark: a high-percentile CPU shackled to a very low-percentile GPU.

Benchmark results indicate this pairing produces playable but not impressive frame rates. The highest average FPS recorded across all tested configurations is 115 at 1080p Low, while the lowest is 20 at 4K Ultra. The combo's rank reflects a system that can handle esports-style settings but struggles when visual demands increase. Interestingly, the CPU's average benchmark score of 34260 places it within 0.5% of several modern rivals, including the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (34222, deltaPct 0.1), AMD EPYC 4244P (34220, deltaPct 0.1), and Intel Core Ultra 7 165H (34083, deltaPct 0.5). The Intel Core i5-13450HX sits slightly ahead at 34333, a deltaPct of -0.2. This tells us the processor is not the bottleneck in this equation.

The GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places it in direct competition with legacy parts like the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, deltaPct -0.2), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, deltaPct -0.5), AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192, deltaPct -0.7), and AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, deltaPct 1.4). These are not modern gaming GPUs, and the data reflects that heritage. In Undisputed, this combo's rank is consistent with what the component-level benchmarks predict: a CPU that punches well above its weight class paired with a GPU that anchors the system's overall performance ceiling.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X brings 8 cores and 16 threads to the table, built on the Zen 2 architecture with a 7 nm process node from TSMC. Its base clock is 3.60 GHz, boosting to 4.40 GHz, and it draws 65 W TDP. This is a desktop processor from the 3000 series, released in July 2019 with a launch MSRP of $329. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB L1 per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth.

For Undisputed, a sports title that typically relies more on single-thread responsiveness than massive multi-core scaling, this CPU's single-core performance is adequate. The Geekbench single-core score is 1593, while the multi-core score reaches 8899. PassMark single-thread results show 2656, and the multi-thread score is 22458. The Cinebench R15 single-core score of 204 and multi-core score of 2092 further illustrate the CPU's balanced profile. The CPU's 84th percentile ranking among all processors confirms it has headroom to spare in most gaming scenarios.

The data suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. When comparing to its nearest rivals, the 3700X essentially trades blows with much newer processors. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222 (deltaPct 0.1), meaning the 3700X is effectively tied. The EPYC 4244P at 34220 is also within 0.1%. The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H trails slightly at 34083, a 0.5% delta. These results indicate that for Undisputed, the 3700X provides more than enough computational headroom. The game's physics and AI calculations, which the PassMark physics score of 1181 partially reflects, should not bottleneck at the tested settings.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is fundamentally different from the CPU in this pairing. It is an integrated graphics solution built on the Xe3-LPG architecture with a 3 nm process node from Intel. The chip is codenamed Panther Lake, part of the Arc Graphics-M generation. Clock speeds range from a 300 MHz base to a 2400 MHz boost. Memory is system shared, meaning there is no dedicated VRAM; instead, the GPU draws from the system's DDR4 pool. The bus width and bandwidth are likewise system dependent.

The GPU's compute resources are modest: 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, 20 render output units, and 10 ray tracing cores. Pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance is 6.144 TFLOPS. The TDP is just 25 W, which explains its integrated nature and lack of power connectors. The slot width is listed as IGP, and display outputs are portable device dependent. This is clearly not designed for high-end desktop gaming, and the benchmark data confirms that expectation.

In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the Arc B370 scores 1184. That places it at the 5th percentile among all GPUs, which is remarkably low. Its nearest rivals are all legacy parts from the early 2010s, including the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, deltaPct -0.2) and ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, deltaPct -0.5). The AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192) and AMD FirePro M2000 (1168) round out the comparison group. This GPU is not built for modern gaming at high settings, and Undisputed's measured FPS reflects that reality. The system shared memory architecture means performance will also depend heavily on system RAM speed and capacity, though the data does not specify those variables.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1080p, the combo delivers its best performance. Low settings produce an average of 115 FPS, which is smooth for any competitive scenario. Medium settings drop to 83 FPS average, with a minimum of 70 and maximum of 95. High settings yield 68 FPS average. Ultra settings, however, fall to 44 FPS average. This progression shows a steep penalty for each settings tier, but the 1080p Low and Medium results are genuinely playable.

Moving to 1440p, the numbers decline significantly. Low settings average 83 FPS, which matches the 1080p Medium result. Medium settings average 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 and maximum of 69. High settings produce 49 FPS average. Ultra settings drop to 32 FPS average. The pattern is consistent: each resolution step costs roughly 30% performance at equivalent settings. The 1440p Medium result of 60 FPS is borderline acceptable for a sports game, but the minimum of 51 FPS suggests occasional stutter.

At 4K, the GPU's limitations become severe. Low settings average 52 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for a fast-paced sports title. Medium settings average 38 FPS, with a minimum of 32 and maximum of 43. High settings drop to 31 FPS average. Ultra settings are effectively unplayable at 20 FPS average. The data shows a clear cliff between 1440p and 4K, where the integrated GPU simply cannot maintain acceptable frame rates at higher visual quality settings.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is dramatic and reveals the limiting component. At Low settings, the progression is 115 FPS at 1080p, 83 FPS at 1440p, and 52 FPS at 4K. That is a 55% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the drop is from 83 FPS to 60 FPS to 38 FPS, a 54% reduction. High settings go from 68 FPS to 49 FPS to 31 FPS, a 54% reduction. Ultra settings drop from 44 FPS to 32 FPS to 20 FPS, a 55% reduction.

The consistency of these percentages—all hovering around 54-55%—indicates the scaling is resolution-bound rather than settings-bound. This is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario. When the GPU is the bottleneck, increasing resolution proportionally increases the pixel count, and the frame rate drops accordingly. The CPU's performance headroom means it is not the constraint. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect to see smaller percentage drops at lower settings where the CPU becomes the binding constraint.

The data implies that the Arc B370's fixed compute resources are fully saturated even at 1080p Medium. The 83 FPS average at 1080p Medium is not far from the 83 FPS at 1440p Low, suggesting that the GPU is already near its throughput ceiling. The 4K Low result of 52 FPS is the only 4K configuration that approaches playability, and it still falls short of the 60 FPS target that most sports games benefit from. This scaling behavior points unequivocally to the GPU as the performance limiter in this combo.

A: Only at Low settings, where it averages 52 FPS. Medium settings drop to 38 FPS, High to 31 FPS, and Ultra to 20 FPS. The 4K Low result is technically playable but not ideal for a competitive sports game.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides clear guidance for the best experience with this combo. For 1080p, Medium settings offer the optimal trade-off between visual quality and performance. The 83 FPS average with a 70 FPS minimum ensures smooth gameplay without significant stutter. High settings at 68 FPS are also viable, but the minimum FPS is not recorded, making Medium the safer choice.

At 1440p, Low settings are the recommended choice. The 83 FPS average is identical to 1080p Medium, providing the same smooth experience at higher resolution. Medium settings at 1440p produce exactly 60 FPS average, but the 51 FPS minimum introduces occasional dips that could affect gameplay in fast-paced boxing matches. High and Ultra settings at 1440p fall below 50 FPS and should be avoided.

For 4K, Low settings are the only viable option, averaging 52 FPS. This is playable but not ideal. The Medium preset at 4K averages 38 FPS with a 32 FPS minimum, which is likely too choppy for a game requiring precise timing. High and Ultra settings at 4K are effectively unplayable.

The overall recommendation is to prioritize resolution over settings. A 1440p Low configuration delivers the same frame rate as 1080p Medium, offering better image clarity without sacrificing smoothness. The Ultra preset should be avoided entirely, as it never reaches 45 FPS at any resolution tested. The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1080p Medium or 1440p Low, with 4K reserved only for the most undemanding visual settings.
