Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and Intel Arc B570 pairing lands in the 2256th spot out of 2813 tested combos for Undisputed. That places it in the lower half of the database, a position driven more by the graphics card than the processor. The data shows a combo that can handle the game at playable framerates across most settings, but it is not built for maximum visual fidelity at high resolutions. The 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 5950X is a heavyweight desktop part, while the Arc B570 is a mid-range contender, and the measured results reflect that split personality.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 2256 out of 2813 puts it in the 20th percentile of all tested pairings for Undisputed. This is not a top-tier result, but it is far from the bottom of the barrel. Benchmark results indicate that the bottleneck is almost entirely on the GPU side. The Ryzen 9 5950X sits in the 91st percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 51947. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX (52073, deltaPct -0.2), AMD EPYC 8124P (52121, deltaPct -0.3), Intel Core i9-13900F (51730, deltaPct 0.4), and Intel Core i7-14700 (52301, deltaPct -0.7). These deltas are all within one percent, meaning the 5950X is effectively neck-and-neck with those processors in general compute. The CPU is not the limiting factor here.

The Intel Arc B570, by contrast, ranks in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, deltaPct 0.1), Intel Arc A750 (20582, deltaPct -0.1), NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, deltaPct 0.4), and AMD Radeon R9 M390X (20662, deltaPct -0.5). Again, the deltas are tiny, placing the B570 in a cluster of similar-performance graphics cards. In Undisputed specifically, the combo’s low rank relative to the CPU’s strength suggests that the game’s frame rates are governed by the Arc B570’s rendering throughput. The measured FPS data confirms this: at 1080p Ultra, the average is 75 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 34 FPS. These numbers are typical of a mid-range GPU being pushed hard, not a high-end part struggling.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Undisputed at 4K?

A: Yes, but only at lower settings. The measured data shows 4K (3840x2160) averages of 89 FPS on Low, 64 FPS on Medium, 53 FPS on High, and 34 FPS on Ultra. Low and Medium are playable, High is borderline, and Ultra falls below the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the best resolution for this pairing?

A: At 1080p (1920x1080), the combo delivers 195 FPS on Low, 141 FPS on Medium, 116 FPS on High, and 75 FPS on Ultra. All presets exceed 60 FPS, making 1080p the most flexible resolution for high refresh-rate monitors. At 1440p (2560x1440), it still manages 141 FPS on Low, 102 FPS on Medium, 84 FPS on High, and 54 FPS on Ultra, so 1440p is viable if you avoid Ultra.

Q: How does the Ryzen 9 5950X’s CPU performance compare to its rivals?

A: The 5950X’s average benchmark score is 51947, which is within 0.7% of the Intel Core i7-14700 (52301, deltaPct -0.7) and within 0.4% of the Intel Core i9-13900F (51730, deltaPct 0.4). It is effectively tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX (52073, deltaPct -0.2) and AMD EPYC 8124P (52121, deltaPct -0.3). This means the CPU is not a differentiator in Undisputed; its performance class is well established.

Q: Is the Intel Arc B570 closer to the RTX 3070 Mobile or the Arc A750?

A: The GPU’s average benchmark score is 20556. The RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534 (deltaPct 0.1), and the Arc A750 scores 20582 (deltaPct -0.1). Both deltas are negligible, so the B570 is statistically indistinguishable from either. In practice, the B570’s 10 GB GDDR6 memory and 160-bit bus define its bandwidth limits, but the benchmark scores show it sits in the same performance tier.

Q: What frame rates can I expect at 1440p Medium?

A: The measured data shows an average of 102 FPS at 2560x1440 with Medium settings. The minimum FPS is 86 and the maximum is 117, so the frame time variance is modest. This is a solid target for a 1440p 100 Hz monitor.

Q: Does the CPU hold back the GPU in this game?

A: No. The 3dmark single-thread score of 944 and multi-thread score of 11597 indicate strong processing power. The measured FPS scales consistently with resolution and settings, which is the signature of a GPU-bound workload. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 195 FPS, which would stress the CPU’s frame-pacing ability, but the data does not show a CPU-limited plateau.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread processor from the Zen 3 (Vermeer) architecture, built on TSMC’s 7 nm 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 3dmark scores show a single-thread result of 944 and a max-thread result of 11597. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score is 26017, and the single-core score is 1614. These numbers place it firmly in the high-end desktop segment, with an average benchmark score of 51947 and a percentile rank of 91 among all CPUs.

For Undisputed, a sports title, the CPU’s role is to handle game logic, physics, and AI, but the measured FPS data indicates that the game is not CPU-bound at typical settings. The 5950X’s 16 cores provide ample headroom for background tasks, but the game likely uses fewer cores. The 3dmark 2-thread score of 1856 and 4-thread score of 3595 show that even with a few threads active, the processor is capable. The passmark single-thread score of 3470 and multithread score of 45424 reinforce that this CPU is more than sufficient for a sports simulator.

The CPU’s memory support is DDR4 with a dual-channel bus and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. This is not state-of-the-art, but it is sufficient for the Arc B570’s needs. The PCIe Gen 4 interface with 20 lanes (CPU only) matches the GPU’s PCIe 4.0 x8 bus, so there is no bandwidth bottleneck there. The 5950X’s launch MSRP was $799, but the benchmark results are what matter here: they show a processor that outperforms its nearest rivals by margins of less than one percent. In the context of this combo, the CPU is a non-issue — it will not prevent the GPU from reaching its measured frame rates.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160) and four settings presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra). At 1080p, the average frame rates are 195 FPS on Low, 141 FPS on Medium, 116 FPS on High, and 75 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset has a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS, showing a tight frame-time range. At 1440p, the averages drop to 141 FPS on Low, 102 FPS on Medium, 84 FPS on High, and 54 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 1440p reports a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS.

At 4K, the averages are 89 FPS on Low, 64 FPS on Medium, 53 FPS on High, and 34 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset at 4K has a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K with a recorded minimum, and it shows that even Medium can dip below 60 FPS in demanding scenes. The data reveals a clear pattern: the Arc B570’s performance drops by roughly half when moving from 1080p to 4K at the same settings. For example, 1080p High is 116 FPS, while 4K High is 53 FPS — a 54% reduction. The Ultra preset at 1080p (75 FPS) is nearly double the 4K Ultra result (34 FPS).

The settings scaling is also consistent. At 1080p, moving from Low to Medium reduces the average from 195 to 141 FPS (a 28% drop), from Medium to High reduces it to 116 FPS (an 18% drop), and from High to Ultra reduces it to 75 FPS (a 35% drop). At 1440p, the drops are 28% (Low to Medium), 18% (Medium to High), and 36% (High to Ultra). At 4K, the drops are 28% (Low to Medium), 17% (Medium to High), and 36% (High to Ultra). This suggests that the Ultra preset imposes a significant additional load, likely due to higher shadow and texture quality, while Medium and High are closer in cost.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is steep, which is expected for a GPU with 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and a 160-bit bus. At 1080p Low, the combo delivers 195 FPS. At 1440p Low, it delivers 141 FPS, and at 4K Low, it delivers 89 FPS. That is a 28% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 37% drop from 1440p to 4K. The pattern is similar for other settings. At High, the averages are 116 FPS (1080p), 84 FPS (1440p), and 53 FPS (4K) — drops of 28% and 37%, respectively. At Ultra, the averages are 75 FPS (1080p), 54 FPS (1440p), and 34 FPS (4K) — drops of 28% and 37%.

This consistent scaling across all settings indicates that the limiting component is the GPU’s pixel throughput and memory bandwidth. The Arc B570 has a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s, with a memory bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. As resolution increases, the GPU must process more pixels and access more texture data, which saturates these resources. The CPU’s performance does not change with resolution, so the fact that FPS scales almost exactly with pixel count confirms that the Ryzen 9 5950X is not the bottleneck.

The 4K Medium result of 64 FPS is the only resolution/setting combo that approaches the 60 FPS target at 4K, and even it has a minimum of 55 FPS. The 4K High result of 53 FPS is below 60, and 4K Ultra is unplayable at 34 FPS. For 1440p, the Ultra preset is just below 60 FPS at 54 FPS, making it a poor choice for smooth gameplay. The 1080p Ultra result of 75 FPS is above 60, but the minimum FPS is not recorded, so frame pacing could be an issue. Overall, the resolution scaling shows that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K only viable at Low or Medium settings.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. For 1080p, the Low preset delivers 195 FPS, which is overkill for most monitors, but the Medium preset at 141 FPS is a better balance. The Medium preset has a recorded minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS, ensuring that even in demanding scenes, the frame rate stays well above 100 FPS. The High preset at 116 FPS is also smooth, but it offers diminishing returns over Medium. The Ultra preset at 75 FPS is playable, but the lack of a recorded minimum FPS means there is no guarantee of stable frame times. For a high-refresh-rate 1080p monitor, Medium is the recommended preset, as it provides a significant FPS buffer without the visual cost of High or Ultra.

For 1440p, the Medium preset is the clear winner. It delivers 102 FPS average with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. This is ideal for a 1440p 100 Hz or 120 Hz monitor. The High preset at 84 FPS is also viable, but it reduces the minimum FPS below the 86 FPS floor of Medium, making it less consistent. The Low preset at 141 FPS is excessive for most 1440p monitors, and the Ultra preset at 54 FPS is below the 60 FPS threshold, so it should be avoided. If you have a 1440p 60 Hz monitor, Medium will still provide a smooth experience, and High is acceptable if you prioritize visuals over frame rate.

At 4K, the options are limited. The Low preset at 89 FPS is the only setting that comfortably exceeds 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for a 4K 60 Hz display. The Medium preset at 64 FPS is borderline, with a minimum of 55 FPS, so it may cause stutters in action-heavy moments. The High preset at 53 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS are not recommended for competitive or smooth play. If you must play at 4K, use Low settings. If you prefer better visuals, drop to 1440p and use Medium or High, which will deliver a better overall experience than 4K at Low.

The data shows that this combo’s sweet spot is 1440p Medium, where it achieves over 100 FPS with a tight frame-time range. For 1080p, Medium or High are both excellent, depending on your preference for visuals or headroom. The Ultra preset is only worthwhile at 1080p, and even then, the lack of a recorded minimum FPS is a concern. In all cases, the CPU’s performance is sufficient to avoid limiting the GPU, so your settings choice should be based on the Arc B570’s capabilities. The measured results indicate that this is a solid mid-range gaming combo, best used at 1080p or 1440p with settings tuned to keep the average FPS above 60 and the minimum FPS above 55.
