Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows a clear trade-off between visual quality and frame rate for this combo. At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves 115 FPS on average, which is the highest frame rate recorded across all settings and resolutions. However, this comes at the cost of visual fidelity. Medium at 1080p delivers 83 FPS average with a 70 FPS minimum, which is the best balance for smooth gameplay without sacrificing too much detail.

The High preset at 1080p produces 68 FPS on average, still playable but with more headroom concerns during dense scenes. Ultra at 1080p drops to 44 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS threshold that most players target for a sports title. At 2560x1440, the situation changes: Low yields 83 FPS, Medium yields 60 FPS, High yields 49 FPS, and Ultra yields 32 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p is the only option there that maintains a 60 FPS average, though its 51 FPS minimum indicates occasional dips.

For 3840x2160, no setting achieves a playable frame rate by typical standards. Low produces 52 FPS, Medium produces 38 FPS with a 32 FPS minimum, High produces 31 FPS, and Ultra produces only 20 FPS. The data suggests that 4K is not a viable option for this combination.

The recommended preset is 1080p Medium, as it provides the highest settings level that maintains an average above 80 FPS while keeping the minimum above 70 FPS. If a player prioritizes frame rate over visuals, 1080p Low at 115 FPS is the alternative. For those with 1440p displays, Medium is the only preset that reaches a 60 FPS average, but the 51 FPS minimum suggests occasional judder during intense boxing exchanges.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate progression from 1080p to 4K reveals a significant performance bottleneck. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 83 at 1920x1080 to 60 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 23 FPS. Moving to 3840x2160, the average falls further to 38 FPS, another 22 FPS decline. This pattern continues across all settings presets.

At Low settings, the drop is even more pronounced in relative terms: 115 FPS at 1080p, 83 FPS at 1440p, and 52 FPS at 4K. The 4K result is less than half of the 1080p result. At High settings, the progression goes from 68 FPS at 1080p to 49 FPS at 1440p to 31 FPS at 4K. Ultra settings see the steepest absolute decline: 44 FPS, 32 FPS, and 20 FPS across the three resolutions.

The scaling pattern indicates that the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting component. The GPU's 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs, combined with its 1280 shading units and 20 ROPs, suggests that rendering resolution heavily impacts performance. The CPU, by contrast, ranks in the 87th percentile and provides more than enough processing headroom. The GPU's system-shared memory and 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 performance are the constraining factors.

The data shows that resolution scaling is not linear. The jump from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by roughly 25-28% across presets, while the jump from 1440p to 4K reduces them by another 35-40%. This non-linear degradation is typical of a GPU that lacks dedicated video memory and relies on system-shared memory, which introduces additional latency and bandwidth constraints at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and the Intel Arc B370 ranks 2592 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the pair in the 8th percentile of all tested system configurations, meaning that roughly 92% of combos deliver better performance in this game. The ranking reflects the severe imbalance between the two components: a high-end 12-core CPU paired with an entry-level integrated-class GPU.

The CPU's individual standing does not rescue the combo. The Ryzen 9 5900X ranks in the 87th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 41376. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H (41263, 0.3% lower), the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (41215, 0.4% lower), and the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 440 (41208, 0.4% lower). The Intel Core i7-14650HX scores 41576, which is 0.5% higher.

The GPU's ranking is far more problematic. The Arc B370 sits in the 5th percentile among all GPUs, with an average 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. Its nearest rivals are all older or lower-tier parts: the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (1186, 0.2% higher), the ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1190, 0.5% higher), and the AMD FirePro M2000 (1168, 1.4% lower). This places the GPU in territory occupied by hardware from a much earlier era.

The combo rank of 2592 out of 2813 is consistent with what the individual component percentiles would predict. The GPU's 5th percentile score dominates the equation, dragging the overall ranking down despite the CPU's strong 87th percentile showing. This is a classic case of a bottlenecking GPU limiting an otherwise capable system.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B370 is an integrated graphics processor based on the Xe3-LPG architecture, built on Intel's 3 nm process. Its boost clock reaches 2400 MHz, with a base clock of 300 MHz. The GPU contains 1280 shading units, 40 texture mapping units, and 20 raster output units. It also includes 10 ray tracing cores.

The memory configuration is entirely system-shared, with no dedicated VRAM. Memory type, bus width, and bandwidth are all listed as "System Shared" or "System Dependent," meaning performance scales with the host system's DDR4 memory. This is a critical limitation for a game like Undisputed, which requires consistent memory bandwidth for texture streaming and physics calculations.

The GPU's compute capabilities are modest: 6.144 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 12.29 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1 ratio). The pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s. These figures place the Arc B370 firmly in entry-level territory, which is reflected in its 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs.

In Undisputed, the GPU's limitations manifest clearly in the frame rate data. At 1080p Medium, the combo achieves 83 FPS, but this drops to 60 FPS at 1440p and 38 FPS at 4K. The minimum frame rates at Medium settings show further evidence of strain: 70 FPS at 1080p, 51 FPS at 1440p, and 32 FPS at 4K. These numbers indicate that the GPU is struggling to maintain consistent frame pacing as resolution increases.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184 places the Arc B370 in the same performance class as the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 and the ATI Radeon HD 5770, both of which are over a decade old. This context helps explain why the GPU cannot drive higher resolutions or settings in a modern sports title.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best results. Low settings produce 115 FPS on average, the highest figure recorded in any configuration. Medium settings follow at 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 FPS and a maximum of 95 FPS. High settings yield 68 FPS, while Ultra settings drop to 44 FPS. The 1080p results show a clear hierarchy where each settings tier costs roughly 15-20 FPS compared to the tier below it.

At 2560x1440, all presets lose performance. Low settings average 83 FPS, matching the 1080p Medium result. Medium settings average 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 FPS and a maximum of 69 FPS. High settings average 49 FPS, and Ultra settings average 32 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium at 1440p is 23 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 11 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates become marginal. Low settings average 52 FPS, which is the only 4K preset above 40 FPS. Medium settings average 38 FPS with a minimum of 32 FPS and a maximum of 43 FPS. High settings average 31 FPS, and Ultra settings average 20 FPS. The 4K results show that even Low settings cannot maintain a consistent 60 FPS, confirming that 4K gaming is not feasible with this combo.

The complete dataset shows a consistent pattern: at every resolution, the step from Low to Medium costs roughly 20-30% of the frame rate, the step from Medium to High costs another 15-20%, and the step from High to Ultra costs another 25-30%. This compounding effect means that Ultra settings at 4K deliver only 17% of the frame rate of Low settings at 1080p.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X is a 12-core, 24-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It operates on the AMD Socket AM4 platform with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The CPU has a 64 MB L3 cache, 512 KB L2 cache per core, and 64 KB L1 cache per core. It supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth.

Synthetic benchmarks show a strong processor. The Cinebench R23 multicore score is 16262, and the single-core score is 1527. Geekbench results show 14118 multicore and 2083 single-core. Passmark scores include 39002 for multithread, 3469 for single-thread, 140851 for integer math, and 77700 for floating point math. The CPU's 87th percentile ranking confirms its position as a high-end desktop part.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears to be secondary to the GPU bottleneck. The frame rate data shows that performance scales almost entirely with resolution and settings, which are GPU-bound factors. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 115 FPS, but this is likely limited by the GPU's fill rate and shading capacity rather than the CPU's processing power. The CPU's 24 threads and 4.80 GHz boost clock provide ample headroom for the game's physics and AI calculations.

The CPU's memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s is relevant because the GPU uses system-shared memory. This means the GPU's performance is dependent on the CPU's memory subsystem, and the dual-channel DDR4 configuration may become a limiting factor at higher resolutions where memory bandwidth demands increase. However, the data shows that even at 1080p, the combo cannot reach frame rates that would indicate CPU saturation.

The launch MSRP of the Ryzen 9 5900X is $549. The CPU's average benchmark score of 41376 places it just above the Intel Core Ultra 7 366H (41263) and the Intel Core Ultra 7 356H (41215), and slightly below the Intel Core i7-14650HX (41576). The 0.3-0.5% differences between these parts are negligible in real-world gaming, but they confirm that the Ryzen 9 5900X remains competitive in its class. The bottleneck in this combo is unequivocally the GPU.
