# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + Intel Arc B570

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a compelling 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, but the data reveals a sharp performance cliff at 4K that shifts the bottleneck from the CPU to the GPU. With measured average FPS ranging from 195 at 1080p Low down to 34 at 4K Ultra, this combo demonstrates strong mid-range capability while exposing the limits of the 10 GB graphics card at higher resolutions. The combo ranks 2986 out of 3718 tested combinations, placing it in the lower half of the database, yet the actual frame rates tell a more nuanced story about where this pairing excels and where it struggles.

Resolution Scaling

The measured data shows a clear and consistent pattern: as resolution increases, average FPS drops dramatically across all settings. At 1080p Low, the combo produces 195 FPS, which falls to 141 FPS at 1440p Low (a 27.7% decrease), and then to 89 FPS at 4K Low (a 36.9% decrease from 1440p). This scaling behavior indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor as pixel count rises, since the CPU's workload remains relatively constant while the GPU's fill-rate and memory bandwidth demands grow exponentially.

The Medium settings row provides the most complete data, with min and max FPS recorded at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the average is 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 and maximum of 162. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 102 FPS (min 86, max 117), and at 4K Medium, it falls to 64 FPS (min 55, max 74). The gap between 1080p and 1440p Medium is 39 FPS, while the gap between 1440p and 4K Medium is 38 FPS — nearly identical absolute drops, suggesting a linear relationship with pixel count rather than a sudden cliff.

However, the Ultra settings tell a different story. The drop from 1080p Ultra (75 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (54 FPS) is 21 FPS, but the drop from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra (34 FPS) is 20 FPS. While the absolute differences are similar, the percentage loss at 4K is steeper relative to the already-lower baseline. The 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold that most players would consider playable for a sports title, indicating that this resolution and setting combination is not viable for smooth gameplay.

The resolution scaling data suggests that the Intel Arc B570's 160-bit memory bus and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth become increasingly stressed as resolution rises. The 10 GB VRAM capacity is sufficient at 1080p and 1440p, but the combination of higher pixel count and Ultra settings at 4K likely exceeds what the memory subsystem can efficiently handle. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, appears to have headroom at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the fact that even at 4K Low, the combo still manages 89 FPS — a result that indicates the GPU is not completely overwhelmed when graphical complexity is reduced.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 (Cezanne) part built on TSMC's 7 nm process, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. Its base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz provide solid single-threaded performance, as reflected in the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2916 and Geekbench single-core score of 1907. For a sports title like Undisputed, which typically relies on a limited number of threads for game logic and physics, this CPU's single-thread capabilities are more relevant than its multi-threaded prowess.

The multi-threaded benchmarks show the CPU's broader capabilities: Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 20655, Geekbench multi-core scores 9959, and PassMark multi-thread scores 24303. These results place the Ryzen 7 5700 in the 78th percentile versus all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 25517. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25530, delta -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (25485, delta +0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (25550, delta -0.1%), and AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (25446, delta +0.3%) — all within a negligible 0.5% performance band, indicating this CPU sits squarely in a competitive mid-range tier.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is primarily to maintain consistent frame pacing rather than to push maximum FPS. The measured results show that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 195 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's practical limit for this game. The fact that 1440p Low produces 141 FPS (a 27.7% reduction) while 1080p Low produces 195 FPS suggests that at 1080p, the CPU is able to feed frames faster than the GPU can render them at higher resolutions, but the GPU becomes the bottleneck as resolution increases.

The CPU's 16 MB of L3 cache and DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for this type of game, which does not exhibit the massive cache or memory pressure seen in open-world titles. The 65 W TDP and Socket AM4 compatibility make it an efficient and accessible choice, though the PCIe Gen 3 interface (20 lanes CPU only) could theoretically limit GPU communication compared to newer platforms — though the Intel Arc B570 uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, which can operate at Gen 3 speeds without significant performance loss in most scenarios.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is a Battlemage (Arc 5) generation GPU built on TSMC's 5 nm process, featuring 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. Its 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus provides 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocks running at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The GPU's base and boost clocks are both 2500 MHz, delivering 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate.

The Arc B570's benchmark results show it in the 65th percentile versus all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, delta +0.1%), Intel Arc A750 (20582, delta -0.1%), NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, delta +0.4%), and AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20662, delta -0.5%) — all within a 0.9% performance band, indicating this GPU is closely matched with those competitors in synthetic benchmarks.

In Undisputed, the GPU's performance varies dramatically with settings and resolution. The 1080p Low result of 195 FPS shows the GPU can handle the game's requirements with ease when graphical load is minimized. The 1080p High result of 116 FPS is still excellent for competitive play, while 1080p Ultra at 75 FPS remains playable but begins to approach the lower limits of smoothness for a sports title.

The most revealing data point is the 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS, which is the only measured result below 40 FPS. This suggests that the GPU's 10 GB VRAM capacity and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient for 4K Ultra settings in Undisputed, likely due to texture and shader complexity exceeding the memory subsystem's capabilities. The 160-bit memory bus is notably narrower than what high-end GPUs use, and this becomes a bottleneck at 4K.

The GPU's 18 ray tracing cores and support for DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6 make it feature-complete for modern titles, though ray tracing is not typically a major factor in sports games. The 150 W TDP and suggested 450 W PSU indicate moderate power requirements, and the dual-slot design with 1x 8-pin power connector is standard for this performance class.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1080p, all settings produce playable results, but the data suggests Medium offers the best balance. The 1080p Medium result of 141 FPS (min 120, max 162) provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while maintaining visual quality. High settings at 1080p (116 FPS) are also excellent, but Ultra (75 FPS) begins to sacrifice frame rate for marginal visual gains.

At 1440p, Medium settings (102 FPS, min 86, max 117) are the clear recommendation for smooth gameplay. High settings (84 FPS) remain playable but approach the threshold where frame drops could become noticeable during intense in-ring action. Ultra settings at 1440p (54 FPS) are borderline — the average is above 50 FPS but the lack of min/max data for this row means consistency is unverified. Low settings (141 FPS) are viable for competitive play if visual fidelity is less important.

At 4K, the data strongly recommends against Ultra settings (34 FPS) and suggests Low (89 FPS) or Medium (64 FPS, min 55, max 74) as the only viable options. Medium at 4K is playable but may exhibit frame dips below 60 FPS, while Low provides a more stable experience. High settings at 4K (53 FPS) are marginal — the average falls below 60 FPS, which may be acceptable for some players but is not ideal for a fast-paced sports game.

The measured rows indicate that Medium settings offer the best experience across all resolutions, as it is the only setting level with complete min/max data showing consistent frame delivery. The gap between Medium and High is substantial (25 FPS at 1080p, 18 FPS at 1440p, 11 FPS at 4K), while the gap between Medium and Low is also significant (54 FPS at 1080p, 39 FPS at 1440p, 25 FPS at 4K). This suggests Medium is the "sweet spot" where the GPU's resources are utilized efficiently without exceeding its capabilities.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2986 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the 19.7th percentile from the top (or 80.3rd percentile from the bottom). This rank indicates that the majority of tested combinations perform better in this specific game, which is notable given the pair's respectable individual benchmark scores.

The CPU's 78th percentile ranking versus all CPUs and the GPU's 65th percentile ranking versus all GPUs suggest that both components are mid-to-upper-midrange performers. However, the combo's in-game rank of 2986/3718 is significantly lower than what these individual rankings might imply. This discrepancy suggests that Undisputed has specific performance characteristics that penalize this particular pairing.

Looking at the measured FPS data, the combo's performance at 1080p is strong (116 FPS at High, 141 FPS at Medium), which should theoretically place it higher in the rankings. The low rank may be influenced by the 4K results, where the combo struggles at Ultra settings (34 FPS) and only achieves 89 FPS at Low. If the database weights higher resolutions more heavily, or if the game's benchmark methodology emphasizes Ultra settings, this could explain the low rank.

Alternatively, the rank may reflect that Undisputed is a title that favors NVIDIA or AMD GPUs over Intel's Arc architecture, despite the Arc B570's competitive synthetic benchmark scores. The GPU's nearest rivals include the RTX 3070 Mobile and Arc A750, both of which are within 0.5% in average benchmark score, yet the in-game performance could differ due to driver optimizations or game-specific rendering paths.

The combo's rank of 2986 out of 3718 means there are 732 tested combinations that perform worse, which indicates the pairing is not at the bottom of the heap. For a 1080p-focused gaming system, this combo would likely rank much higher if the database isolated performance by resolution, but the aggregate rank reflects the full range of tested scenarios.
