Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the Intel Arc B370 produces a highly constrained gaming experience in Undisputed, with the integrated GPU acting as the primary performance limiter across all tested configurations. The data reveals a combination that can achieve playable frame rates at lower settings, but which struggles significantly under higher graphical loads and resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark data for this combination shows a clear pattern: the Low preset is the only setting that consistently delivers an average frame rate above 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves an average of 115 FPS, while the Medium preset reaches 83 FPS and High drops to 68 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p falls to 44 FPS, which is below the commonly accepted threshold for smooth gameplay.

For the best experience per the measured rows, the Low preset at 1920x1080 is the recommended configuration. This setting not only provides the highest average frame rate but also avoids the frame time inconsistencies that can appear in more demanding presets. The Medium preset at 1080p also delivers a playable experience with an average of 83 FPS, and the measured minimum of 70 FPS indicates that frame drops are relatively controlled.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset still produces an average of 83 FPS, which remains playable. However, the Medium preset at this resolution averages exactly 60 FPS, with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. This suggests that Medium at 1440p is borderline, with the minimum dipping into the 50s. The High preset at 1440p drops to 49 FPS, which is not recommended for a smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves an average above 52 FPS. The Low preset reaches 52 FPS, while Medium averages 38 FPS, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. The data indicates that 4K gaming is not viable with this combination, regardless of the settings chosen.

The optimal balance between visual quality and performance is the Medium preset at 1920x1080, which provides a 83 FPS average with a minimum of 70 FPS. This configuration offers a significant improvement over the Low preset in terms of visual fidelity while maintaining a frame rate that is well above the 60 FPS threshold. Users prioritizing maximum smoothness should select Low at 1080p, but those seeking a better balance should opt for Medium at the same resolution.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel's 3 nm process node. It features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with a thermal design power of 25 W.

The GPU's memory configuration is entirely system-dependent, with the frame buffer being "System Shared" in size, type, and bus width. The memory bandwidth is also listed as "System Dependent", meaning the GPU relies on the host system's DRAM for all graphics data. This shared memory architecture is a significant factor in the performance seen in Undisputed, as the GPU must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth.

Benchmark results for the Arc B370 are limited to a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184, which places it in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The nearest rivals in the benchmark database include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 1186, and the ATI Radeon HD 5770, which scores 1190. The Arc B370 is within 0.7% of these older discrete GPUs, indicating that its raw compute performance is quite modest.

The GPU's clock behavior in Undisputed is not directly measured, but the FP32 performance of 6.144 TFLOPS and the texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s provide context for the frame rates observed. At 1080p Low, the GPU can produce 115 FPS, but this drops sharply as settings are increased. The pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s limits how quickly the GPU can fill the screen, which becomes more problematic at higher resolutions.

The data shows that the Arc B370's performance is heavily dependent on the workload. The GPU's 10 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support are present, but the measured frame rates suggest that the rasterization pipeline is the primary bottleneck. The 25 W TDP indicates that this is a low-power part, and its performance in Undisputed reflects that constraint.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling across resolutions for this combo follows a predictable pattern, but with significant drops at each step. At the Low preset, the average frame rate goes from 115 FPS at 1080p, to 83 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 52 FPS at 4K. This represents a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p, and a 55% drop from 1080p to 4K.

At the Medium preset, the scaling is slightly different. The average frame rate is 83 FPS at 1080p, 60 FPS at 1440p, and 38 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 28%, while the drop from 1080p to 4K is 54%. The High preset shows 68 FPS at 1080p, 49 FPS at 1440p, and 31 FPS at 4K, with corresponding drops of 28% and 54%.

The Ultra preset exhibits the most dramatic scaling, with 44 FPS at 1080p, 32 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 27%, and from 1080p to 4K is 55%. Across all presets, the relative performance drop from 1080p to 4K is consistently around 54-55%, which suggests that the GPU is the limiting component.

This consistent scaling pattern indicates that the Arc B370 is fully saturated at 1080p and that the additional pixels at 1440p and 4K directly reduce the frame rate. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is not the primary bottleneck at these resolutions. The 55% drop from 1080p to 4K is close to what would be expected if the GPU were the sole limiting factor, as the pixel count increases by a factor of 2.25 from 1080p to 4K, but the frame rate does not drop proportionally.

The data suggests that the limiting component is the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth. The system-shared memory configuration means that the GPU's effective bandwidth is dependent on the CPU's memory controller, which runs at 51.2 GB/s for the Ryzen 7 5800X3D. This bandwidth constraint becomes more pronounced at higher resolutions, where the GPU must access larger textures and frame buffers.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D + Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 2592 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the combo in the bottom 8% of all tested configurations, indicating that it is among the weakest performers for this game.

The low ranking is primarily attributable to the GPU. The Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are all older discrete parts like the ATI Radeon HD 5770. The CPU, in contrast, is in the 80th percentile of all CPUs, which is a stark contrast. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D has an average benchmark score of 27896, which is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, which scores 27887.

The combination of a high-end CPU with a low-end GPU creates a significant imbalance. The CPU is capable of handling the game's logic and physics, but the GPU cannot keep up with the rendering demands. This is evident in the frame rates, which are never high enough to leverage the CPU's full potential.

The combo rank is a measure of the total system performance, and the GPU drags the overall score down. In a game like Undisputed, where the rendering load is substantial, the GPU's limitations are exposed. The 2592nd rank out of 2813 combos means that almost any other combination of CPU and GPU would perform better in this specific game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates at a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, with a thermal design power of 105 W. The CPU features 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 512 KB of L2 cache per core, and a substantial 96 MB of shared L3 cache.

The CPU's benchmark results show strong multi-threaded performance. In Cinebench R23, it scores 14317 in multi-core and 1452 in single-core. The Geekbench multi-core score is 11765, while the single-core score is 2017. The Passmark multi-thread score is 28309, with a single-thread score of 3234.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and AI. The game is a sports title, which typically has moderate CPU requirements. The Ryzen 7 5800X3D's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for this type of workload. The 96 MB of L3 cache is particularly beneficial for gaming, as it reduces memory latency and improves performance in cache-sensitive workloads.

However, the benchmark data shows that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. The frame rates at 1080p Low (115 FPS) are reasonable, but they drop significantly at higher settings. This pattern indicates that the GPU is the bottleneck, not the CPU. The CPU's scores place it at the 80th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals include the Intel Core i9-10900K, which it outperforms by 0.1%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340, which it trails by 0.1%.

The CPU's single-thread performance, as measured by Cinebench R15 at 241 points, is sufficient for the game's main thread. The multi-thread performance is also strong, with Cinebench R15 multi-core at 2413 points. In a game like Undisputed, the CPU is likely to have idle cores, as the workload is not heavily parallelized.

The data shows that the CPU has no trouble maintaining the frame rates delivered by the GPU. Even at the highest settings, where the GPU is producing 20 FPS at 4K, the CPU is not the constraint. The 8 cores and 16 threads provide ample headroom for the game's processing demands.
