Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a performance profile in Undisputed that is heavily dictated by resolution and graphics preset, with the GPU emerging as the primary constraint at higher settings. The measured data reveals a clear hierarchy where frame rates scale predictably from 1080p to 4K, but the relationship between settings and resolution is not uniform, offering distinct insights into where this combo excels and where it struggles.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 produces a dramatic reduction in average frame rates across all settings, yet the magnitude of that drop varies significantly depending on the preset. At Low settings, the combo delivers 195 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p, and 89 FPS at 4K — a decline of 27.7% from 1080p to 1440p and an additional 36.9% from 1440p to 4K. This scaling pattern suggests that at Low settings, the system retains substantial headroom even at 4K, with the 89 FPS average remaining comfortably playable.

Moving to Medium settings, frame rates drop to 141 FPS at 1080p, 102 FPS at 1440p, and 64 FPS at 4K. The percentage losses here are similar in relative terms — 27.7% and 37.3% for the two resolution steps — but the absolute values indicate that the GPU is beginning to feel the load. The 4K Medium result of 64 FPS, with a minimum of 55 FPS and maximum of 74 FPS, shows a frame time variance that could be noticeable in fast-paced boxing exchanges.

High settings present a more pronounced scaling curve. The combo achieves 116 FPS at 1080p, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 53 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1440p to 4K here is 36.9%, consistent with the other presets, but the 1080p to 1440p reduction of 27.6% is slightly steeper than what the lower presets show. This suggests that High settings push the GPU harder at each resolution, and the 4K result of 53 FPS falls below the 60 FPS threshold that many players target.

Ultra settings represent the most demanding configuration, and the scaling here is severe. The combo manages 75 FPS at 1080p, 54 FPS at 1440p, and just 34 FPS at 4K. The relative drops are 28.0% from 1080p to 1440p and 37.0% from 1440p to 4K, but the absolute numbers reveal a system that is clearly overmatched at higher resolutions on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS is borderline unplayable for a sports title that requires responsive input for blocking and counter-punching.

The pattern across all presets indicates that the limiting component at 1080p and 1440p is primarily the GPU, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom to maintain high frame rates. However, the steep drop at 4K — particularly on High and Ultra — shows that the B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 160-bit bus width become a bottleneck as pixel count increases. The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K only viable at Low or Medium settings.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Intel Arc B570 ranks 2256 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the lower 20th percentile of all tested systems, indicating that while it can produce playable frame rates at lower resolutions, it does not compete with higher-end configurations in this particular title.

The ranking reflects the GPU's position in the broader market. The Arc B570 sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark data include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 (0.1% faster), the Intel Arc A750 at 20582 (0.1% slower), the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20480 (0.4% slower), and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X at 20662 (0.5% slower). This clustering indicates that the B570 performs nearly identically to these competitors in synthetic tests, but the in-game results for Undisputed may diverge due to driver optimization and game-specific workloads.

The CPU's ranking provides additional context. The Ryzen 7 5700X sits at the 79th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27578. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i5-12600K at 27578 (0% difference), the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 at 27535 (0.2% faster), the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X at 27636 (0.2% slower), and the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H at 27507 (0.3% faster). This level of performance suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor in most scenarios, and the combo's low rank is more attributable to the GPU's mid-range positioning.

The combination of a 79th-percentile CPU with a 65th-percentile GPU yields a system that ranks in the bottom 20% for this specific game. This discrepancy highlights that Undisputed may be more GPU-intensive than the average title, or that the B570's architecture does not scale as well in this particular engine. The measured FPS data supports this interpretation, as the frame rates at 1080p and 1440p are solid but not exceptional, while 4K performance lags behind what the GPU's synthetic scores might suggest.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture and fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, containing 19,600 million transistors on a 272 mm² die. The GPU operates at a boost clock of 2500 MHz, with a memory clock of 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). It features 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The shading units number 2304, accompanied by 144 texture mapping units and 80 render output units, with 18 ray tracing cores.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is clearly evident in the scaling behavior across resolutions. The 10 GB memory capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p at all settings, but the 160-bit bus width and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting at 4K, particularly on High and Ultra presets. The measured data shows that at 4K Ultra, the combo achieves only 34 FPS, which is a 54.7% reduction from the 1080p Ultra result of 75 FPS. This steep decline indicates that memory bandwidth is a critical constraint at higher pixel counts.

The GPU's compute capabilities, rated at 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 and 23.04 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1), are sufficient for the game's physics and rendering workloads at lower resolutions. The pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s provide the raw throughput needed for the boxing ring environments and character models. However, the 150 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest that thermal headroom may be limited under sustained load, though the measured data does not include temperature or power draw information.

The B570's DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 compatibility align well with Undisputed's modern rendering requirements. The 18 ray tracing cores are present but likely underutilized in this sports title, which tends to favor traditional rasterization. The GPU's performance relative to its nearest rivals — within 0.5% of the RTX 3070 Mobile, Arc A750, Quadro M4000M, and R9 M390X — suggests that the B570 is a consistent mid-range performer, but the in-game results show that it cannot maintain high frame rates at 4K with demanding settings.

Settings Recommendations

For players using this combo, the measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which settings to prioritize. At 1920x1080, all presets deliver playable frame rates, with Low at 195 FPS, Medium at 141 FPS, High at 116 FPS, and Ultra at 75 FPS. The High preset offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, maintaining an average above 100 FPS while providing enhanced graphical details over Medium.

At 2560x1440, the choices become more constrained. Low delivers 141 FPS, Medium 102 FPS, and High 84 FPS, while Ultra drops to 54 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p offers a smooth experience with an average of 102 FPS and a minimum of 86 FPS, making it the recommended choice for players who want a balance of resolution and fluidity. High at 1440p is also viable at 84 FPS, but the lower margin above 60 FPS makes it riskier during intense gameplay moments.

At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium provide acceptable performance. Low achieves 89 FPS, while Medium manages 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS. High drops to 53 FPS, and Ultra falls to 34 FPS. For 4K gaming, Low is the safest option for maintaining high frame rates, though Medium offers a better visual experience if the player can tolerate occasional dips below 60 FPS. High and Ultra at 4K are not recommended due to the significant performance penalties.

The data suggests that this combo is best utilized at 1080p with High settings or 1440p with Medium settings. These configurations provide frame rates well above 60 FPS while retaining enough graphical fidelity to enjoy the game's presentation. Players with 4K displays should expect to compromise heavily on settings, and the Ultra preset should be avoided entirely at this resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS dataset for this combo in Undisputed is as follows:

At 1920x1080, Low settings produce an average of 195 FPS, Medium produces 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 and maximum of 162, High produces 116 FPS, and Ultra produces 75 FPS. The Medium setting shows a narrow frame time distribution, with the minimum only 21 FPS below the average, indicating consistent performance.

At 2560x1440, Low produces 141 FPS, Medium produces 102 FPS with a minimum of 86 and maximum of 117, High produces 84 FPS, and Ultra produces 54 FPS. The Medium result here shows a wider variance, with the minimum 16 FPS below the average, suggesting occasional stutters during complex scenes.

At 3840x2160, Low produces 89 FPS, Medium produces 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 and maximum of 74, High produces 53 FPS, and Ultra produces 34 FPS.

The pattern across all resolutions shows that the Medium preset consistently provides the most stable frame times, with recorded minimum and maximum values that bracket the average closely. Low and High settings do not have recorded min/max values in the data, but their averages suggest they are less stable than Medium. Ultra settings produce the lowest averages but also lack min/max data, implying that the performance may fluctuate more significantly.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X is a Zen 3 architecture processor codenamed Vermeer, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It features 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The CPU has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports DDR4 memory in a dual-channel configuration with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and it operates within a 65 W TDP.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is primarily to feed the GPU with geometry and physics data. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration provides ample parallelism for the game's simulation and AI logic, and the boost clock of 4.60 GHz ensures strong single-threaded performance for the main game loop. The CPU's benchmark scores support this interpretation: a single-thread score of 921 in 3DMark and a multicore score of 6858 in the 16-thread test indicate robust performance across both lightly and heavily threaded workloads.

The CPU's performance relative to its nearest rivals is nearly identical, with a 0% difference from the Intel Core i5-12600K and only 0.2% differences from the AMD Ryzen 7 5800 and AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. This consistency suggests that the Ryzen 7 5700X is not a differentiator in this game; the GPU is the deciding factor in frame rates. The CPU's 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs further confirms that it is more than adequate for this title.

The measured FPS data does not show signs of CPU bottlenecking at any resolution. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 195 FPS, which is near the upper limit of what the GPU can produce, but the fact that the frame rate scales predictably with resolution indicates that the CPU is not limiting performance. Even at 1080p Ultra, where the GPU is less stressed relative to higher resolutions, the CPU maintains a 75 FPS average without issue. The 32 MB of L3 cache helps reduce memory latency, which is beneficial for the game's frame pacing.
