Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the Intel Arc B390 in Undisputed is a combination that lands near the bottom of the database’s tested configurations, ranking 2491 out of 2813 combos. This pairing’s results are dominated by the GPU’s severe limitations, while the CPU provides more than enough processing headroom for this sports title. The data shows a system that can hit playable frame rates at lower settings and resolutions, but it struggles decisively at higher presets and 4K.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 5000 series, built on the Zen 3 architecture (Codenamed Cezanne) using a 7 nm process from TSMC. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The CPU has a 65 W TDP and supports DDR4 memory via a dual-channel bus, with a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. It also includes integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics, though in this test, the discrete (or rather, integrated) Intel Arc B390 handles the rendering.

Benchmark results for the 5700G place it in the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27051. Its nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core i9-9900K (average score 27097, delta -0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 (average score 26936, delta +0.4%), and the Intel Core i5-14400T (average score 27166, delta -0.4%). The 5700G is essentially within 0.6% of all these processors, indicating that it sits in a very competitive mid-to-high tier for CPU performance.

In the context of Undisputed, a sports game that is not typically CPU-bound at high frame rates, the 5700G’s 8 cores and 16 threads are more than adequate. Multi-threaded workloads show strong results: Cinebench R23 multicore scores 12830.5, while Geekbench multicore hits 9950. Single-thread performance is also solid, with Cinebench R23 single-core at 1494 and Geekbench single-core at 1894. The 3DMark tests reveal scaling from 899 (single-thread) to 6629 (16-thread) and 6627 (max-thread), showing that the processor scales well with additional threads. For a game like Undisputed, which likely uses a limited number of threads for simulation and physics, the 5700G’s single-thread strength (3dmark_2_threads score of 1758) ensures the CPU will not bottleneck the system at lower resolutions.

However, the measured frame rates in this game are low enough that the CPU is rarely the limiting factor. Even at 1080p Low, where the average FPS is 127, the CPU has headroom. The PassMark single-thread score of 3283 and the 3dmark_single_thread score of 899 indicate that the processor can handle the game’s logic without issue. The real constraint lies with the GPU, which we will examine next.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Arc B390 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) based on the Panther Lake chip, using the Xe3-LPG architecture on a 3 nm process from Intel. It has a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. Its memory is listed as “System Shared,” meaning it has no dedicated VRAM; instead, it uses a portion of the system’s DDR4 memory, with bandwidth described as “System Dependent.” This is a critical limitation for gaming, as the GPU must share bandwidth with the CPU.

The Arc B390 has 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output units, along with 12 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 60.00 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s. Floating-point performance is 7.680 TFLOPS for FP32 and 15.36 TFLOPS for FP16 (2:1). The GPU’s TDP is 80 W, and it has no power connectors, being an IGP.

In the database, the Arc B390 sits in the 9th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 1482 from the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. Its nearest rivals are all ancient or low-end NVIDIA parts: the GeForce GT 520MX (average score 1463, delta +1.3%), the GeForce 800M (average score 1460, delta +1.5%), the GeForce GT 625 OEM (average score 1446, delta +2.5%), and the GeForce GT 710 (average score 1443, delta +2.7%). This places the Arc B390 firmly in the “entry-level” category of GPUs, with performance that is only marginally better than decade-old integrated solutions.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s lack of dedicated VRAM and low bandwidth is the primary bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 127, which is playable, but at 1080p Medium, it drops to 91, and at High, it falls to 76. At Ultra, the average is just 49. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 61% drop in performance (from 127 to 49), which is typical for a GPU that is struggling to handle increased shading and texture loads. The Arc B390’s boost clock of 2500 MHz helps at low settings, but the shared memory system creates a hard ceiling.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and Intel Arc B390 ranks 2491 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 11% of all configurations, which is consistent with the GPU’s low percentile ranking (9th) and the CPU’s mid-tier position (79th). The ranking indicates that while the CPU is capable, the GPU drags the entire system down.

To put this in perspective, the CPU’s nearest rivals (i9-9900K, Ryzen AI 7 445, i5-14400T) all have similar CPU performance, but when paired with a more capable GPU, they would likely rank much higher. The data shows that the combo rank is driven almost entirely by the GPU’s 3DMark score of 1482, which is in the bottom decile. For a sports game like Undisputed, which has moderate graphical demands, this combo struggles to maintain 60 FPS at 1080p Medium, and it falls below 60 FPS at 1440p High.

The measured FPS data reinforces this: at 4K Ultra, the average is 22 FPS, which is unplayable. At 4K Low, it reaches 58 FPS, which is borderline. The combo’s rank of 2491 suggests that most other tested systems (322 other combos) perform worse, but that is small consolation given the low absolute performance.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is a hallmark of a GPU-limited system. At 1080p Low, the average FPS is 127. Moving to 1440p Low, it drops to 92, a 27.6% decrease. At 4K Low, the average is 58, which is 54.3% lower than 1080p Low. This steep drop-off indicates that the GPU is struggling to fill the additional pixels, not the CPU.

At Medium settings, the trend continues: 1080p Medium averages 91 FPS, 1440p Medium drops to 66 (27.5% lower), and 4K Medium falls to 42 (53.8% lower). At High settings, 1080p High is 76 FPS, 1440p High is 55 (27.6% lower), and 4K High is 35 (53.9% lower). The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings (roughly 27% from 1080p to 1440p, and 54% from 1080p to 4K) is a strong indicator that the GPU, not the CPU, is the limiting component. The CPU’s performance would not degrade linearly with resolution; it would remain relatively constant.

The only exception is at Ultra settings, where 1080p Ultra averages 49 FPS, 1440p Ultra drops to 35 (28.6% lower), and 4K Ultra falls to 22 (55.1% lower). The slightly larger drops at Ultra suggest that the GPU is also running out of shading and texture processing capacity, not just pixel fill rate. The Arc B390’s 24 ROPs and 48 TMUs are simply insufficient for 4K Ultra, which demands massive amounts of fill rate and texture bandwidth. The shared memory system exacerbates this, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for DDR4 bandwidth.

The data also shows that the minimum FPS values are only recorded for Medium settings: 78 at 1080p, 56 at 1440p, and 36 at 4K. These minimums are 14-15% lower than the averages, suggesting that frame pacing is relatively stable, but the overall performance is too low for smooth 4K play.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Given the measured data, the best experience for this combo in Undisputed is at 1080p with Medium settings. The average FPS at 1080p Medium is 91, with a minimum of 78 and a maximum of 105. This provides a smooth, playable experience that stays well above the 60 FPS threshold for most of the time, with only rare dips below 80 FPS. The jump from Low to Medium costs 36 FPS (from 127 to 91), but the visual improvement in a sports game is likely worth it, as Medium typically adds better textures and lighting.

At 1080p High, the average drops to 76 FPS, which is still playable but noticeably less smooth, and the minimum is not recorded. The drop from Medium to High is 15 FPS (16.5% decrease), which suggests that the GPU is beginning to struggle with the additional effects. Ultra at 1080p averages 49 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target and would result in noticeable stutter during fast-paced boxing action.

For users who prioritize frame rate over visuals, 1440p Low is an option, averaging 92 FPS. This is nearly identical to 1080p Medium (91 FPS), but at a higher resolution. However, 1440p Medium drops to 66 FPS, which is still playable but not ideal. The best balance of resolution and smoothness is 1080p Medium, as it offers 91 FPS with a recorded minimum of 78, ensuring consistent performance.

At 4K, the system is not viable for competitive play. 4K Low averages 58 FPS, which is borderline, but 4K Medium (42 FPS) and 4K High (35 FPS) are too low. 4K Ultra at 22 FPS is unplayable. Therefore, the recommendation is to avoid 4K entirely with this combo, or only use it for non-competitive, low-settings play.

The data indicates that the CPU is not the limiting factor in any of these scenarios. Even at 1080p Low, where the GPU is least stressed, the system achieves 127 FPS, which is well below the CPU’s potential. Thus, the settings recommendations are entirely GPU-driven. The Intel Arc B390, with its 9th percentile ranking and 1482 3DMark score, simply cannot handle high settings at any resolution, and its sweet spot is 1080p Medium.
