Undisputed

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the Intel Arc B570 lands at rank 2256 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. That places it in the bottom fifth of all configurations, which is a surprisingly modest result for a pairing that includes an 8-core, 16-thread CPU and a discrete GPU with 10 GB of VRAM. The percentile story is telling: the CPU sits at the 84th percentile among all processors, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile among all graphics cards. Neither component is a slouch in isolation, yet the combination produces results that are far from the top of the leaderboard.

The rank itself suggests that Undisputed is either highly sensitive to one specific component or that the combination hits a bottleneck ceiling early. With 2813 total combos tested, being at 2256 means roughly 80% of pairings outperform this one in this particular title. That is a harsh verdict for hardware that otherwise benchmarks respectably. The data implies that raw component strength does not automatically translate to in-game performance—the game's engine and its demands clearly favor other configurations.

What makes this rank even more curious is the delta between the components' individual standings and their combined result. The CPU's average benchmark score of 34260 places it within 0.5% of rivals like the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H, yet those rival CPUs are likely paired with different GPUs in the broader database. The GPU's average score of 20556 puts it nearly dead-even with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (0.1% ahead) and the Intel Arc A750 (0.1% behind), but again, the in-game rank depends on the full system context. The measured FPS data will show whether this rank is earned through consistent mediocrity or through specific weak points at certain settings.

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 runs at 3.60 GHz with a boost up to 4.40 GHz, and it carries a 65 W TDP. The cache layout includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a 32 MB L3 pool. Memory support is DDR4 over a dual-channel bus, yielding 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a desktop part from the 3000 series, released in mid-2019, and it remains in active production.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears to be sufficient but not dominant. Looking at the single-thread benchmark scores, the Geekbench single-core result of 1593 and Passmark single-thread score of 2656 indicate solid, if unspectacular, per-core performance. The multi-threaded picture is stronger: Geekbench multicore hits 8899, Passmark multithread reaches 22458, and Cinebench R15 multicore scores 2092. These numbers suggest the 3700X can handle the game's logic and physics without becoming the primary constraint, especially at higher resolutions where the GPU takes on more load.

The 84th percentile ranking among all CPUs reinforces that this processor is above average overall. Yet the game's rank for the combo suggests that the CPU's strengths are not being fully leveraged. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo hits 195 FPS average, which is high enough to indicate the CPU is feeding frames adequately at that setting. But when the settings climb to Ultra at the same resolution, the average drops to 75 FPS—a massive reduction that points more toward GPU limits than CPU limits, given that the CPU's workload does not scale dramatically with graphics settings in most games.

The 3700X's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s and its PCIe Gen 4 support with 24 lanes are relevant contextual details. The game likely benefits from the CPU's 16 threads for background tasks and AI calculations, but the measured FPS deltas between Low and Ultra at each resolution will clarify whether the CPU holds the combo back or simply coexists with a GPU that becomes the limiting factor.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, specifically the Battlemage generation, using a 5 nm process from TSMC. It houses 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units, along with 18 ray tracing cores. The GPU runs at a fixed 2500 MHz for both base and boost clocks, with memory clocked at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The 10 GB of GDDR6 memory sits on a 160-bit bus, providing 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The card's FP32 performance is rated at 11.52 TFLOPS, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

In Undisputed, the GPU's 65th percentile ranking suggests it is a mid-tier performer, and the measured FPS data aligns with that assessment. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 195 FPS, which is excellent, but the GPU begins to show strain as settings increase. The 1080p Medium average of 141 FPS and 1080p High average of 116 FPS are both playable, but the drop to 75 FPS at 1080p Ultra indicates the GPU's limits are being approached. The VRAM capacity of 10 GB is likely not the issue at 1080p, but the bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s and the 160-bit bus may constrain performance when texture detail and effects ramp up.

The GPU's benchmark scores tell a similar story. Passmark G3D scores 14195, while 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 scores 2649. The DirectX 11 Passmark score of 118 is notably higher than the DirectX 12 score of 72 and the DirectX 10 score of 65, which is interesting given that modern games like Undisputed typically favor DX12. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 96844 versus OpenCL's 83514 suggests the GPU performs well under Vulkan, which could be relevant if the game uses that API. The GPU's nearest rival, the Intel Arc A750, scores nearly identically on average (20582 vs 20556, a 0.1% difference), indicating that the B570 is competitive within its own product stack.

The GPU's 10 GB VRAM and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth become more critical at higher resolutions. At 4K, the measured FPS drops significantly, and the data will reveal whether this is a VRAM capacity issue or a raw compute limit.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings levels, providing a comprehensive picture of performance. Starting at 1920x1080, the combo delivers an average of 195 FPS at Low, 141 FPS at Medium, 116 FPS at High, and 75 FPS at Ultra. The Medium setting shows a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS, indicating good frame consistency. At 2560x1440, the averages are 141 FPS at Low, 102 FPS at Medium, 84 FPS at High, and 54 FPS at Ultra. The Medium setting at 1440p shows a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. At 3840x2160, the averages fall to 89 FPS at Low, 64 FPS at Medium, 53 FPS at High, and 34 FPS at Ultra. The Medium setting at 4K shows a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS.

The scaling across settings is steep. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra costs 120 FPS on average (from 195 to 75), which is a 61.5% reduction. At 1440p, the same settings change drops from 141 to 54 FPS, a 61.7% reduction. At 4K, the drop is from 89 to 34 FPS, a 61.8% reduction. This consistent percentage reduction across resolutions suggests that the settings themselves impose a nearly uniform performance cost, regardless of resolution.

The minimum FPS data is only available for Medium settings, which is a limitation. At 1080p Medium, the minimum is 120 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it is 86 FPS; at 4K Medium, it is 55 FPS. These minimums are all above the 30 FPS threshold for playability, but the 4K Medium minimum of 55 FPS is close to the 53 FPS average at 4K High, suggesting that even Medium at 4K pushes the hardware hard. The lack of min/max data for other settings means the frame time consistency at Low, High, and Ultra cannot be assessed from this dataset.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component clearly. At Low settings, the average FPS goes from 195 at 1080p to 141 at 1440p (a 27.7% drop) and then to 89 at 4K (a 36.9% drop from 1440p). At Medium settings, the progression is 141 to 102 to 64, representing drops of 27.7% and 37.3% respectively. At High settings, the numbers are 116 to 84 to 53, with drops of 27.6% and 36.9%. At Ultra settings, the pattern holds: 75 to 54 to 34, with drops of 28.0% and 37.0%.

The near-identical percentage drops across all settings are striking. This uniformity indicates that the resolution scaling is independent of the graphics settings—the same relative performance loss occurs whether the game is running at Low or Ultra. This pattern typically points to a GPU-bound scenario where the pixel throughput is the limiting factor, not the CPU or the settings complexity. The CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases, and the Arc B570's compute and memory bandwidth become the bottlenecks.

The 4K results are particularly telling. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS of 34 is barely playable, and even 4K High at 53 FPS is marginal for smooth gameplay. The 4K Medium average of 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS is the only 4K setting that offers a comfortable experience. The GPU's 10 GB VRAM and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely being stressed at 4K, especially with higher texture and shadow settings that require more memory and bandwidth. The consistent scaling pattern suggests that the GPU's raw fill rate and shading power are the primary constraints, rather than any specific setting causing a disproportionate hit.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, the High preset delivers 116 FPS average, which is excellent for smooth gameplay, while Ultra drops to 75 FPS—still playable but with diminishing returns for the visual upgrade. The Medium preset at 141 FPS is the sweet spot for competitive play or high-refresh-rate monitors, offering a significant margin above the 60 FPS baseline. For most users at 1080p, High provides the best balance of visual quality and performance, as the jump from High to Ultra costs 41 FPS (a 35.3% reduction) for what is likely a modest visual improvement.

At 1440p, the High preset at 84 FPS is the recommended choice for a solid experience, as it stays well above 60 FPS. The Medium preset at 102 FPS is better for smoother motion, but the visual trade-off may not be worth it. The Ultra preset at 54 FPS is borderline—it is above 50 FPS but may feel less responsive in a fast-paced sports title. The data suggests that 1440p High is the most sensible target, offering good visuals without sacrificing frame rate.

At 4K, the options narrow considerably. The Medium preset at 64 FPS is the only setting that provides a comfortable experience, with a minimum of 55 FPS ensuring no major stutters. The High preset at 53 FPS is playable but close to the edge, and the Ultra preset at 34 FPS is not recommended for smooth gameplay. The Low preset at 89 FPS is surprisingly viable, but the visual quality at Low may be too compromised for a modern sports game. For 4K, Medium is the clear recommendation, balancing performance and fidelity.

The data also shows that the Medium preset across all resolutions provides the most consistent frame times, as it is the only setting with min/max data available. This consistency suggests that Medium is the most stable option, avoiding the potential frame spikes that may occur at higher settings.
