Undisputed

# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 7700 + Intel Arc B570

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the Intel Arc B570 delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, with 4K Ultra representing a significant strain on the graphics card. Data shows this combination ranks in the 80th percentile of tested combos, placing it well within the capable tier for this sports title, though the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck at higher resolutions and settings.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, with the GPU's workload scaling significantly from 1080p to 4K. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 195 FPS at 1920x1080 to 141 FPS at 2560x1440, a reduction of approximately 28%, and then further down to 89 FPS at 3840x2160, which is a 54% drop from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline indicates that the Intel Arc B570's rendering throughput is heavily taxed by the pixel count increase, even at the lowest graphical preset.

The scaling pattern becomes even more pronounced at higher settings. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 116 at 1080p to 84 at 1440p (a 28% decrease) and then to 53 at 4K (a 54% decrease from 1080p). This consistent percentage drop across different settings strongly suggests that the limiting factor is the GPU's raw pixel processing capability rather than the CPU or memory bandwidth. If the Ryzen 7 7700 were the bottleneck, we would expect to see a less dramatic FPS decline when moving from 1440p to 4K, as the CPU workload remains relatively constant while the GPU workload increases.

The data for Medium settings provides the most complete picture, as it includes minimum and maximum FPS values alongside averages. At 1080p Medium, the average is 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 and maximum of 162. Moving to 1440p Medium, the average drops to 102 FPS with a range of 86 to 117. At 4K Medium, the average falls to 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 and maximum of 74. The narrowing of the FPS range at higher resolutions—from a 42 FPS spread at 1080p to a 19 FPS spread at 4K—further confirms that the GPU is working closer to its limits at 4K, leaving less headroom for frame time variability.

For Ultra settings, the performance hit is severe at 4K, with the average dropping to just 34 FPS. This represents a 55% reduction from the 75 FPS average at 1080p Ultra, and a 37% reduction from the 54 FPS at 1440p Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration in the measured data that falls below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this combo struggles to maintain smooth gameplay at the highest fidelity and resolution combination. The resolution scaling data makes it clear that the Intel Arc B570 is the primary constraint, as the Ryzen 7 7700's processing power is more than sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions but cannot compensate for the GPU's limitations at 4K.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570's specifications directly explain its performance profile in Undisputed. With 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, the card provides 380.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is adequate for the game's demands at 1080p and 1440p but becomes strained at 4K with higher texture detail. The GPU's base and boost clocks are both fixed at 2500 MHz, and its 2304 shading units operate at a peak FP32 throughput of 11.52 TFLOPS. These figures place the Arc B570 in the mid-range tier, and the data confirms that it delivers playable frame rates up to 1440p Ultra but falls short at 4K Ultra.

The GPU's memory configuration is particularly relevant for Undisputed, a sports title that likely uses moderate texture sizes but still benefits from ample VRAM at higher resolutions. The 10 GB capacity is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p across all settings, as evidenced by the playable frame rates. At 4K, the 34 FPS average at Ultra settings suggests that the card may be hitting memory capacity limits or bandwidth constraints, which would explain the steep drop from the 53 FPS at High settings. The 160-bit memory bus is narrower than what higher-tier cards use, and the 380.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a limiting factor when the GPU must fetch larger texture sets at 4K resolution.

The Arc B570's 80 ROPs and 144 TMUs provide a balanced rasterization pipeline for a card in this class. The pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s are consistent with its measured performance in Undisputed, where the card excels at lower resolutions but shows diminishing returns as pixel count increases. The GPU's 18 ray tracing cores are present but not heavily utilized in this title, as Undisputed is not a ray tracing-heavy game based on the performance data. The card's DirectX 12 Ultimate support (12_2) ensures compatibility with modern rendering features, and its Vulkan 1.4 and OpenGL 4.6 support provide flexibility for different API paths.

The GPU's benchmark scores place it in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, scores 20534 (0.1% higher), while the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582 (0.1% higher). This tight clustering indicates that the Arc B570 is positioned extremely close to these competitors in raw compute capability. In Undisputed, this translates to the observed performance where the card handles 1080p and 1440p comfortably but requires settings reductions at 4K to maintain smooth frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile changes significantly. Low settings still deliver 89 FPS average, which is acceptable, but Medium settings drop to 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 and maximum of 74, indicating occasional dips below 60 FPS. High settings average 53 FPS, which is borderline playable but not ideal for a smooth experience. Ultra settings fall to 34 FPS average, which is not playable for most users. The data shows that 4K gaming with this combo requires reducing settings to Low or Medium to achieve acceptable frame rates.

The progression across resolutions shows a clear pattern: the system is excellent at 1080p across all settings, good at 1440p for Low through High settings, and limited at 4K to Low and Medium settings for smooth gameplay. The Medium settings at 4K provide the best balance of visual quality and performance, with an average of 64 FPS and a minimum of 55 FPS that is close to the 60 FPS target.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700's specifications are more than sufficient for Undisputed, as the game does not appear to be CPU-intensive based on the performance data. The CPU features 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. This configuration provides strong single-threaded performance and ample multi-threaded capability for a sports title that likely uses only a few cores for gameplay logic.

The CPU's benchmark results confirm its capability. In Cinebench R23, it scores 18760 in multi-core and 1930 in single-core, while in Geekbench it achieves 15371 multi-core and 2525 single-core. The 3DMark scores show a strong scaling from 2043 in the 2-thread test to 8484 in the 16-thread test, indicating good multi-threading efficiency. The PassMark multi-thread score of 34470 and single-thread score of 4063 further reinforce that the CPU has no trouble handling the computational demands of modern games.

The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 cache per core provide ample cache capacity for game data, and the dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures the CPU can feed data to the GPU efficiently. The CPU's 5 nm process node from TSMC and 65W TDP make it an efficient choice that doesn't generate excessive heat, allowing the GPU to operate without thermal throttling in a typical system configuration.

The fact that the combo's performance in Undisputed scales so heavily with resolution suggests that the CPU is not a limiting factor. If the Ryzen 7 7700 were causing a bottleneck, we would expect to see similar FPS across different resolutions at the same settings, but the data shows significant drops from 1080p to 4K. This confirms that the CPU has ample headroom for this game, and the GPU is the component that determines the playable settings and resolutions. The CPU's 87th percentile ranking among all CPUs, compared to the GPU's 65th percentile, further supports this conclusion.
