GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on TSMC’s 5 nm process with the Xe2-HPG architecture and the BMG-G21 chip. It operates at a fixed clock speed of 2500 MHz for both base and boost, which simplifies thermal and power behavior. The GPU is equipped with 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is sufficient for Undisputed at most settings, though the 10 GB capacity becomes a consideration at higher resolutions and quality presets.

The GPU’s compute capabilities include 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines. It achieves a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 11.52 TFLOPS. In Undisputed, these specifications translate to playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but the card struggles to maintain high performance at 4K Ultra settings. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 34, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay, whereas at 1080p Low, the card delivers 195 FPS on average.

The GPU’s percentile ranking of 65 among all GPUs places it in the upper-middle tier, but its nearest rivals are all mobile or older desktop parts, indicating that the Arc B570 is positioned as a mid-range desktop solution. The 150 W TDP and single 8-pin power connector make it a straightforward installation, and the PCIe 4.0 x8 interface is adequate for this performance class. For Undisputed, the GPU’s role is to provide solid frame rates at mainstream settings, with the understanding that Ultra presets at 4K are beyond its capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience for this combo is achieved at 1080p with High settings, where the average frame rate is 116 FPS. This provides a smooth and responsive experience that is well above the 60 FPS threshold for competitive play in a sports title. At 1440p, the High preset still delivers a respectable 84 FPS average, which is also playable, but the margin for error in demanding scenes is thinner. The Medium preset at 1080p offers 141 FPS average, which is higher, but the visual fidelity reduction may not be worth the extra frames for most users.

For players prioritizing maximum visual quality, the Ultra preset at 1080p yields 75 FPS average, which is still above 60 FPS and therefore viable. However, at 1440p Ultra, the frame rate drops to 54 FPS, which begins to feel less fluid. At 4K, the High preset manages 53 FPS average, which is borderline, while Medium drops to 64 FPS, indicating that the GPU is running out of headroom at this resolution. The Low preset at 4K delivers 89 FPS, but the visual compromise is substantial.

The data suggests that the sweet spot for this combo is 1440p High, balancing visual quality with a 84 FPS average that leaves some headroom for dips. Alternatively, 1080p Ultra provides the best visual experience within the 60 FPS comfort zone. The measured minimum FPS values for Medium settings at each resolution—120 FPS at 1080p, 86 FPS at 1440p, and 55 FPS at 4K—indicate that the Medium preset has the most consistent frame pacing, making it a safe recommendation for users who prioritize stability over absolute quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the frame rates scale predictably with settings. The Low preset achieves an average of 195 FPS, which is the highest measured across all configurations. Medium settings produce 141 FPS average with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS. High settings deliver 116 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 75 FPS. This progression shows a clear relationship between graphical fidelity and performance, with a 61% reduction in frame rate from Low to Ultra at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern continues but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings yield 141 FPS average, Medium produces 102 FPS with a minimum of 86 FPS and maximum of 117 FPS, High drops to 84 FPS, and Ultra falls to 54 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 87 FPS, representing a 62% decrease. The Medium preset’s minimum of 86 FPS is notable, as it indicates that even in demanding scenes, the combo maintains playable performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU’s limitations become apparent. Low settings still manage 89 FPS average, but Medium drops to 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS and maximum of 74 FPS. High settings fall to 53 FPS, and Ultra plunges to 34 FPS. The transition from 1080p Low to 4K Low represents a 54% reduction in frame rate, highlighting the significant impact of resolution on this GPU. The Ultra preset at 4K, at 34 FPS, is not suitable for active gameplay, as it falls below the generally accepted 60 FPS standard for smooth motion.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS data reveals a consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases. From 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average FPS drops from 116 to 84, a 28% decrease. From 1440p to 4K at High settings, the frame rate falls from 84 to 53, a 37% decrease. This accelerating drop-off indicates that the GPU is becoming the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions, as the CPU’s performance headroom is not being fully utilized.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced. The 1080p Low average of 195 FPS drops to 141 FPS at 1440p, a 28% reduction, and then to 89 FPS at 4K, a 37% reduction from 1440p. This pattern suggests that even at the lowest graphical settings, the GPU’s memory bandwidth and compute capabilities are insufficient to maintain frame rates at 4K. The 380.0 GB/s bandwidth and 10 GB VRAM become bottlenecks when the pixel count increases dramatically.

The scaling behavior indicates that the Intel Core i7-13700K is not the limiting component in this combo for Undisputed. The CPU’s high single-thread and multi-thread scores, such as 2116 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 30745 in multi-core, provide ample processing power for the game’s physics and AI calculations. The frame rate drops are almost entirely attributable to the GPU’s rendering capabilities. This is confirmed by the fact that the CPU’s benchmark scores are in the 89th percentile, while the GPU’s are in the 65th percentile, creating an imbalance where the processor is overqualified for the graphics card’s performance level.
