# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 9700F + Intel Arc B370

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F paired with the Intel Arc B370 is a combination that lands near the bottom of the tested field for Undisputed, ranking 2592 out of 2813 combos. This places the pairing in the 8th percentile of tested configurations, a result driven almost entirely by the GPU’s limited compute resources rather than any CPU deficiency. The CPU itself sits in the 94th percentile among all processors, but the Arc B370, with its 5th percentile standing among GPUs, becomes the decisive bottleneck in nearly every scenario measured. The data shows a system that can deliver playable frame rates at 1080p with modest settings, but one that struggles increasingly as resolution and quality demands rise.

How This Combo Ranks

The combined ranking of 2592 out of 2813 tested combos places this configuration in the bottom 8% of all pairings evaluated for Undisputed. This is not a surprising outcome when examining the individual components: the Ryzen 7 9700F is a high-end desktop processor in the 94th percentile of all CPUs, while the Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile of all GPUs. The GPU’s low standing relative to other graphics cards dominates the system’s overall performance profile, and the benchmark results confirm that the graphics subsystem is the limiting factor across all measured scenarios.

Contextualizing the CPU’s position helps clarify the imbalance. The Ryzen 7 9700F’s average benchmark score of 69996 places it within 0.2% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX (69875) and within 0.7% of the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (69515). It also trails the Intel Core i7-14700KF (70163) by just 0.2% and leads the Intel Core i7-14700K (69355) by 0.9%. These are tight margins, indicating that the CPU is competitive with some of the strongest processors available. Yet none of that headroom translates into high frame rates in Undisputed, because the GPU cannot keep pace with what the CPU can feed it. The combination’s rank is therefore a reflection of GPU-limited performance, not CPU capability.

When compared against other combos in the database, this pairing’s position becomes clearer. The GPU’s 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 puts it within 0.2% of the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186), within 0.5% of the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190), and within 0.7% of the AMD Radeon HD 7650M (1192). It leads the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168) by 1.4%. These are all legacy or low-tier mobile parts, which underscores how far the Arc B370 is from current desktop GPU performance levels. In practical terms, the combo rank reflects a graphics solution that is roughly a decade behind modern standards, despite being paired with a current-generation CPU.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel’s 3 nm process. Its base clock is 300 MHz with a boost clock of 2400 MHz, and it features 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. The GPU also includes 10 ray tracing cores and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The memory subsystem is entirely system shared, with no dedicated VRAM, no dedicated bus width, and bandwidth that is system dependent. This architecture means the GPU relies on the host system’s DDR5 memory, which in this configuration is the Ryzen 7 9700F’s dual-channel memory with 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth.

The GPU’s raw compute figures are modest: 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 12.29 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1 ratio), with a pixel rate of 48.00 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 96.00 GTexel/s. These numbers are consistent with an integrated part rather than a discrete graphics card, and they explain why the GPU’s percentile rank is just 5th among all tested GPUs. The 25 W TDP further confirms this is a low-power integrated solution, not a high-performance discrete component.

In Undisputed, the GPU’s limitations manifest clearly. At 1080p Low, the average frame rate is 115 FPS, which is acceptable for casual play. However, at 1080p Ultra, the average drops to 44 FPS, a 62% reduction. The GPU’s lack of dedicated VRAM and its reliance on shared system memory likely contributes to these steep declines at higher quality settings, as the renderer must compete with the CPU for memory bandwidth. The 3DMark score of 1184 places it in the same performance tier as GPUs from over a decade ago, and the measured FPS data confirms that this is not a part designed for high-end gaming.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear and predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, but the rate of decline reveals the GPU’s limitations. At 1080p Low, the combo averages 115 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 83 FPS, a 28% reduction. At 4K Low, the average falls to 52 FPS, a 55% reduction from 1080p. These are large drops for a resolution increase, which suggests that the GPU is struggling to fill the additional pixels.

The pattern holds across all settings. At Medium, 1080p averages 83 FPS, 1440p averages 60 FPS (a 28% drop), and 4K averages 38 FPS (a 54% drop from 1080p). At High, 1080p averages 68 FPS, 1440p averages 49 FPS (a 28% drop), and 4K averages 31 FPS (a 54% drop). At Ultra, 1080p averages 44 FPS, 1440p averages 32 FPS (a 27% drop), and 4K averages 20 FPS (a 55% drop from 1080p). The consistency of these percentage drops across all settings is notable: the GPU loses roughly 28% of its frame rate when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and another 37-38% when moving from 1440p to 4K.

This uniform scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at every resolution. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see smaller differences between resolutions, as the CPU workload would remain constant while the GPU workload increased. Instead, the frame rate drops are proportional to the pixel count increase, which is a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario. The Ryzen 7 9700F, with its high single-thread score of 4691 and multithread score of 36470, is clearly not the constraint here.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides clear guidance on which settings presets deliver the best experience for this combination. At 1080p, the Low preset averages 115 FPS, which is well above the threshold for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset averages 83 FPS, still a comfortable level, with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. The High preset averages 68 FPS, which is playable but begins to approach less comfortable territory. The Ultra preset averages 44 FPS, which is marginal for a sports game requiring responsive controls.

Given these numbers, the Medium preset at 1080p appears to be the sweet spot for this combo. It delivers 83 FPS average, which is 28% higher than High and 47% higher than Ultra, while still providing better visual quality than Low. The minimum FPS of 70 at Medium ensures that frame times remain relatively consistent, avoiding the stutter that can occur when frame rates fluctuate near the edge of playability. The Low preset offers higher frame rates, but the visual trade-off may not be worth the additional 32 FPS over Medium, especially in a sports title where character models and arena detail matter.

At 1440p, the Medium preset averages 60 FPS, which is exactly at the threshold for many players’ minimum acceptable frame rate. The High preset drops to 49 FPS, and Ultra falls to 32 FPS, both of which are below ideal playability for a fast-paced sports game. The Low preset at 1440p averages 83 FPS, which is playable, but the visual quality at Low may be too compromised for a modern title. For 1440p, Medium is the highest playable preset, and even that sits at the edge.

At 4K, no preset delivers a truly playable experience. The Low preset averages 52 FPS, which is marginal, and Medium drops to 38 FPS. High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. For 4K play, the Low preset is the only option that approaches playability, and even then, the experience will be inconsistent. The data suggests that this combo is not suited for 4K gaming, and users should stick to 1080p or 1440p for the best balance of visual quality and frame rate.
