# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 9 5950X + Intel Arc B370

This combination sits at rank 2592 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the bottom 8% of all pairings. The data shows a system that can produce playable frames at lower settings, but one that clearly struggles when the graphics load increases. The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a high-end 2020 desktop processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, while the Intel Arc B370 is a low-power integrated graphics solution with a 3nm process and a 25W TDP. The pairing is unusual — a top-tier CPU with an entry-level GPU — and the benchmark results reflect that imbalance.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 115 at 1080p to 83 at 1440p, then to 52 at 4K. That is a 54.8% reduction from 1080p to 4K. At High settings, the drop is even more pronounced: 68 FPS at 1080p, 49 at 1440p, and 31 at 4K — a 54.4% decline. Medium settings follow the same pattern: 83 FPS at 1080p, 60 at 1440p, and 38 at 4K, with the 4K result representing a 54.2% loss compared to 1080p.

The scaling behavior indicates the Intel Arc B370 is the primary limiting factor. The GPU's 1280 shading units and 20 ROPs are simply not enough to maintain performance as pixel count rises. The 4K Ultra result of 20 FPS is particularly telling — this is a 82.6% reduction from the 1080p Low score of 115 FPS. When you move from Low to Ultra at the same resolution, the FPS drops by 82.6% at 4K (52 to 20), 61.4% at 1440p (83 to 32), and 61.7% at 1080p (115 to 44). These are large margins that point directly at GPU-bound rendering.

The fact that 1080p Low reaches 115 FPS while 4K Ultra only manages 20 FPS shows how quickly this GPU saturates. In a game like Undisputed, a sports title, the graphics load scales heavily with resolution. The Ryzen 9 5950X has plenty of headroom here — its 16 cores and 32 threads are not the constraint. The data suggests that at 1080p, the CPU can feed the GPU adequately, but at higher resolutions, the GPU's 6.144 TFLOPS FP32 throughput becomes the bottleneck. The 4K Medium result of 38 FPS with a minimum of 32 FPS shows that even moderate settings at 4K push the GPU to its limits.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer, built on TSMC's 7nm process. It has a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, with 64 MB of L3 cache. The CPU's benchmark scores are strong: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 26017, single-core 1614, and Geekbench multicore 15233. In PassMark, the multithread score is 45424 and single-thread 3470. The 3DMark scores show scaling from 944 single-thread to 11597 max-threads.

In Undisputed, the CPU role appears secondary given the GPU's limitations. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 115 FPS, which is a solid result for this pairing. But the CPU's 91st percentile ranking among all CPUs means it is far more capable than the GPU's 5th percentile ranking. The Ryzen 9 5950X's 16 cores are largely idle in this scenario. The game's FPS at 4K Ultra (20 FPS) is not a CPU problem — the processor could handle far more frames if the GPU could render them.

The benchmark data shows that the CPU's 3DMark 16-thread score of 10810 and max-thread score of 11597 indicate strong multi-threaded capability. However, Undisputed's performance at lower resolutions (115 FPS at 1080p Low) suggests the game does not heavily stress all 32 threads. The single-thread performance, measured at 944 in 3DMark single-thread and 1614 in Cinebench R23 single-core, is sufficient for the game's logic and physics. The CPU's 64 MB L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support at 51.2 GB/s bandwidth are ample for this workload.

The Ryzen 9 5950X's nearest rivals in average benchmark score include the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX (deltaPct -0.2%), AMD EPYC 8124P (deltaPct -0.3%), and Intel Core i7-14700 (deltaPct -0.7%). The i9-13900F is 0.4% ahead. These are all close scores, but none of them change the fundamental dynamic: the CPU is not the limiting component in this combo. The GPU's 25W TDP and integrated nature mean it operates in a completely different performance class.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 2592 out of 2813 tested combinations in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 8% of all pairings tested. The rank reflects the GPU's minimal capabilities rather than the CPU's strengths. The Intel Arc B370's average benchmark score is 1184, with a 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 (deltaPct -0.2%), ATI Radeon HD 5770 (deltaPct -0.5%), and AMD Radeon HD 7650M (deltaPct -0.7%). The AMD FirePro M2000 is 1.4% behind. These are all legacy or low-end parts, confirming the Arc B370's position.

The combo's rank is heavily influenced by the GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184. This is a single benchmark result that places the GPU at the bottom of the performance hierarchy. In contrast, the CPU's 91st percentile ranking would normally push a combo much higher. The data shows that in Undisputed, the FPS results are consistently low at higher settings — 31 FPS at 4K High, 32 FPS at 1440p Ultra, 44 FPS at 1080p Ultra — which drags the combo rank down.

Out of 2813 combos, being at 2592 means there are only 221 pairings that perform worse. This is a significant finding for a system with a Ryzen 9 5950X. The CPU alone would rank much higher in CPU-only tests, but the GPU's performance ceiling limits the entire system. The rank suggests that for Undisputed, this combo is only suitable for low settings at 1080p, where it achieves 115 FPS. At any higher setting or resolution, the experience deteriorates quickly. The 4K Ultra result of 20 FPS is below playable thresholds, and even 1440p High at 49 FPS is marginal.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low settings average 115 FPS, Medium averages 83 FPS with a minimum of 70 and maximum of 95, High averages 68 FPS, and Ultra averages 44 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 71 FPS, a 61.7% reduction. At 1080p, Low is the only setting that provides a high refresh rate experience. Medium at 83 FPS is playable, but High and Ultra drop below 70 FPS, which may cause noticeable stutter in a sports title where smooth motion matters.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops further: Low averages 83 FPS, Medium averages 60 FPS with a minimum of 51 and maximum of 69, High averages 49 FPS, and Ultra averages 32 FPS. The Low setting at 1440p matches the Medium setting at 1080p (83 FPS), showing the resolution penalty. Medium at 1440p provides a 60 FPS average, which is borderline for competitive play but acceptable for casual gaming. High and Ultra at this resolution are below 50 FPS, which is not ideal.

At 3840x2160, the results are mostly below playable thresholds: Low averages 52 FPS, Medium averages 38 FPS with a minimum of 32 and maximum of 43, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. Only Low at 4K reaches above 50 FPS, and even that is marginal. Medium at 4K has a minimum of 32 FPS, which means frame drops will be noticeable. High and Ultra at 4K are not viable for gameplay.

The Medium settings across all resolutions show the most consistent data with min/max values. At 1080p Medium, the range is 70 to 95 FPS; at 1440p Medium, it is 51 to 69 FPS; at 4K Medium, it is 32 to 43 FPS. These ranges suggest moderate frame time variance, but the averages are the key metric. The data shows a clear pattern: the GPU can handle 1080p Low easily, but every increase in resolution or settings costs a significant number of frames.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the recommended setting for this combo in Undisputed is 1920x1080 with Low settings. This produces an average of 115 FPS, which is the only result above 100 FPS in the entire dataset. This is the most playable configuration for a smooth experience. If visual quality is a priority, 1080p Medium at 83 FPS is the next best option, with a minimum of 70 FPS ensuring relatively stable performance.

At 1440p, Low settings at 83 FPS are acceptable, but Medium drops to 60 FPS average with a 51 FPS minimum. This is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. At 4K, only Low settings at 52 FPS are worth considering, and even then, the frame rate may dip in intense moments. The 4K Medium result of 38 FPS with a 32 FPS minimum is not recommended for a game requiring quick reactions.

The Ultra settings are not viable at any resolution — 44 FPS at 1080p, 32 FPS at 1440p, and 20 FPS at 4K are all too low for a smooth experience in a sports title. The data suggests prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity with this hardware. The gap between Low and Ultra is 61.7% at 1080p, meaning the visual upgrade comes at a steep performance cost. For players who value smooth gameplay, 1080p Low is the clear choice. For those who want better graphics, 1080p Medium offers a reasonable compromise without dropping below 70 FPS minimum.
