Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a wide spread of performance in Undisputed, with the results clearly scaling with both resolution and graphical preset. At 1080p, the pairing is overwhelmingly capable, while 4K demands a more conservative approach to settings. The recorded data shows that this is a system which can handle the game comfortably at mainstream resolutions, with its limits becoming apparent only at the highest pixel counts and settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark results for this CPU and GPU pairing in Undisputed provide a clear picture of its capabilities at three resolutions and four quality presets. The data shows that the average frame rate is heavily influenced by the chosen settings, with the gap between Low and Ultra being substantial at every resolution.

At 1920x1080, the combination is exceptionally strong. On Low settings, the system produces an average of 221.3 FPS, which is an extremely high refresh rate for a sports title. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 160.2 FPS, still far beyond the threshold for smooth gameplay. At High settings, the average is 130.1 FPS, demonstrating that the game remains highly fluid even as visual quality increases. The most demanding option, Ultra, still yields a very respectable average of 83 FPS. This means that at 1080p, all presets clear the 60 FPS playable threshold with significant headroom, making the Ultra preset a viable choice for users seeking maximum visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but the scaling becomes more apparent. Low settings produce an average of 158.1 FPS, while Medium settings see the average at 116.9 FPS. The High preset is still excellent, recording an average of 93.8 FPS. However, the Ultra preset brings the average down to 59 FPS, which sits just one frame below the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is a critical data point, as it indicates that Ultra settings at 1440p are right on the edge of what this hardware can sustain, and it is the first point where the system's limits become visible.

At 3840x2160, the demand on the GPU increases significantly. The Low preset manages an average of 102 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K. Medium settings reduce this to 69.4 FPS, which still remains above the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset falls to an average of 57.4 FPS, just below the playable threshold. Finally, the Ultra preset results in a demanding average of 38.8 FPS, which is not suitable for smooth gameplay. The data indicates that 4K requires either the Low or Medium presets to maintain a playable frame rate.

The data does not include specific min or max frame rate values, so the analysis relies solely on the average FPS figures. The lack of min/max data means the consistency of frame pacing cannot be assessed, but the average scores provide a solid basis for judging overall performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark figures reveal a classic GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions, with the CPU's influence being more pronounced at lower settings and resolutions. The scaling between resolutions and presets in the data shows how the workload shifts between the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and the Intel Arc B580.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are exceptionally high, especially on Low settings (221.3 FPS) and Medium (160.2 FPS). These numbers suggest that the Intel Arc B580 is doing most of the heavy lifting, but the CPU is also being pushed to feed the GPU at such high rates. The Ryzen 5 2600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is clearly sufficient to keep the B580 busy at 1080p, as the performance scales linearly with the GPU's workload. The drop from Low to Ultra (221.3 to 83 FPS) is a direct result of the GPU rendering more complex scenes.

As the resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes more dominant. The frame rates at Low (158.1 FPS) and Medium (116.9 FPS) are lower than at 1080p, which is expected as the B580 is rendering more pixels. The CPU is less likely to be a limiting factor here, as the higher pixel count shifts the bottleneck firmly to the graphics card. The Ultra preset at 1440p (59 FPS) is a clear indication that the GPU is nearing its limit, as the CPU has little to do with the difference between the High (93.8 FPS) and Ultra (59 FPS) presets.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is the undeniable primary component. The performance difference between Low (102 FPS) and Ultra (38.8 FPS) is massive, and this is almost entirely due to the rendering load on the Arc B580. The CPU's role is diminished, as the GPU is struggling to maintain playable frame rates even on the High preset (57.4 FPS). The Ryzen 5 2600 is not the constraining factor at 4K; the data shows that the Intel Arc B580 is the limiting component. The scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a consistent reduction in FPS at each preset, which is characteristic of a GPU-bound workload. The CPU's performance is sufficient across all resolutions, making the GPU the primary determinant of playability in Undisputed for this combo.

The Verdict

The recorded data confirms that this combination of an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and an Intel Arc B580 is more than capable of running Undisputed at standard gaming resolutions. The verdict by resolution is clear, with all presets at 1080p and the majority at 1440p clearing the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, the system is fully playable on every preset. The most demanding option, Ultra, still achieves an average of 83 FPS, which provides a smooth experience. This makes the combo an excellent choice for high-refresh-rate 1080p monitors, as even the Low preset hits 221.3 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the system remains highly capable, but users must be mindful of the preset selection. The High preset is the best choice, delivering 93.8 FPS, while the Medium and Low presets also offer excellent performance at 116.9 FPS and 158.1 FPS respectively. The Ultra preset, at 59 FPS, sits just below the playable threshold and should be avoided if a strict 60 FPS lock is desired.

At 3840x2160, the system can still run the game, but only with reduced settings. The Medium preset maintains a playable 69.4 FPS, and the Low preset offers a very smooth 102 FPS. The High and Ultra presets are not recommended, as they fall below the 60 FPS line. The system can run Undisputed at 4K, but it requires a compromise on visual quality to do so.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific CPU and GPU pairing at rank 2847 out of 3718 tested combinations for Undisputed. This ranking puts it in the lower middle portion of all possible configurations, which reflects the age of the Ryzen 5 2600 relative to newer processors. The GPU is a more modern component, but the overall combo's position is dragged down by the CPU's older architecture.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database include the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V, which scores nearly identically with a delta of 0.2%, and the Intel Core i9-11900H, which is 0.5% faster. The AMD EPYC 9454 trails by 1.2%, while the Intel Xeon D-1746TER is 0.7% faster. These figures show that the Ryzen 5 2600's processing power is still competitive with some modern parts, but it is not leading the pack. The GPU's rivals, such as the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080, are within 0.2% and 0.6% of its average score respectively, indicating that the Arc B580 is a solid mid-range performer.

Despite the mid-pack rank, the actual game performance data shows that this combo is more than sufficient for Undisputed. The rank is a general indicator of hardware potential, but the measured FPS reveals that this specific game is not overly demanding on the CPU, allowing the GPU to shine.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured data, the following settings provide the highest visual quality while maintaining an average frame rate at or above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best option. It delivers an average of 83 FPS, which is comfortably above the playable threshold. This allows users to experience the game with all visual features enabled without sacrificing smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is the most demanding that remains playable. It achieves an average of 93.8 FPS, offering a good balance between visual fidelity and performance. The Ultra preset is not recommended, as its 59 FPS average falls short of the 60 FPS goal.
