CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a balanced workload distribution between the AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and the Intel Arc B570 in Undisputed. The game’s sports simulation nature typically relies more on CPU logic, but the benchmark results show the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system produces 195 FPS, indicating the CPU is feeding the GPU effectively without becoming a bottleneck at lower graphical loads.

As resolution climbs, the GPU workload intensifies significantly. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings, the average frame rate drops from 116 FPS to 84 FPS, a reduction of approximately 28%. The transition from 1440p to 4K at High settings shows a further drop from 84 FPS to 53 FPS, a reduction of roughly 37%. This scaling pattern confirms that the Intel Arc B570 is the primary performance driver at higher resolutions, while the Ryzen 5 5500 maintains sufficient headroom to avoid constraining the GPU.

The preset scaling provides additional insight. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra settings is 120 FPS, showing the GPU has substantial overhead at this resolution. At 4K, the same preset range spans only 55 FPS, demonstrating that the GPU is approaching its limits. The CPU’s role becomes more passive at 4K, as the GPU’s rendering load dominates the frame time budget. The Ryzen 5 5500’s 6-core, 12-thread configuration with a 4.20 GHz boost clock appears well-suited for the game’s physics and AI calculations, as evidenced by the high frame rates even at 1080p Ultra.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional performance across all presets. The Low preset achieves an average of 195 FPS, providing a massive headroom for high-refresh-rate displays. The Medium preset averages 141 FPS, with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS, ensuring consistent smoothness. High settings produce 116 FPS, while the Ultra preset remains playable at 75 FPS. All 1080p configurations clear the 60 FPS threshold with significant margin.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling penalty. The Low preset delivers 141 FPS, matching the 1080p Medium result. Medium settings average 102 FPS, with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. High settings produce 84 FPS, which still provides a comfortable gameplay experience. The Ultra preset falls to 54 FPS, marking the first configuration that dips below the playability threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. The Low preset averages 89 FPS, demonstrating that even at 4K the system can handle reduced settings smoothly. Medium settings produce 64 FPS, with a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS, placing it just above the playable threshold. High settings drop to 53 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages only 34 FPS. These results show a steep performance cliff between Medium and High at 4K, indicating the GPU’s compute resources are exhausted by the higher-quality rendering features.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and Intel Arc B570 combination can run Undisputed effectively across most configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold, with the Ultra preset achieving 75 FPS. This makes 1080p gaming fully viable at maximum quality settings.

At 2560x1440, the system remains highly playable with three of four presets exceeding 60 FPS. The High preset delivers 84 FPS, providing an excellent balance of visual quality and performance. The Ultra preset falls short at 54 FPS, so users seeking maximum fidelity at this resolution would need to accept a frame rate below the playable standard.

At 3840x2160, playability depends on settings management. The Low preset achieves 89 FPS, while the Medium preset averages 64 FPS, both remaining above the threshold. However, High settings at 53 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS fall below acceptable levels. The recommendation for 4K is the Medium preset, which provides the best visual quality while maintaining a playable frame rate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals in synthetic benchmarks indicate that several other processors would deliver nearly identical performance in Undisputed. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 scores 19617, which is 0.1% higher than the Ryzen 5 5500’s 19593, making it a directly comparable alternative. The Intel Core i5-12500 scores 19668, representing a 0.4% advantage. The Intel Core i7-10700F scores 19499, a 0.5% deficit, while the Intel Core i5-11600KF scores 19723, a 0.7% advantage. These deltas are negligible in gaming workloads, so any of these CPUs would behave similarly in this title.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570’s nearest rivals show comparable performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, just 0.1% lower. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, only 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M and AMD Radeon R9 M390X score 20480 and 20662 respectively, representing 0.4% and 0.5% differences. These small margins mean that swapping the Arc B570 for any of these alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2986 out of 3718 tested system configurations in Undisputed. This places the pairing in approximately the 80th percentile of all tested combos, indicating that it outperforms the majority of systems evaluated for this game. The ranking reflects the balanced nature of the hardware, with the CPU’s strong single-thread performance and the GPU’s capable 1080p and 1440p throughput combining effectively for this title.

The rank position suggests that while this is not a top-tier configuration for Undisputed, it offers solid performance for mainstream gaming. The system’s ability to maintain playable frame rates at 4K Medium, despite the GPU’s mid-range positioning, demonstrates that the combination is well-matched for the game’s requirements. The percentile placement of the CPU at 73 and GPU at 65 aligns with the overall combo ranking, confirming that neither component is disproportionately holding back the system.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the recommended configuration, delivering an average of 75 FPS. This provides the highest visual quality while maintaining a 15 FPS margin above the playability threshold. The system has sufficient headroom at this resolution to handle maximum settings without compromising smoothness.

At 2560x1440, the High preset offers the best balance, achieving 84 FPS. The Medium preset runs at 102 FPS for users prioritizing higher frame rates, but the High preset’s visual improvements justify the modest performance cost. The Ultra preset at 54 FPS is not recommended due to falling below the 60 FPS standard.

For 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the optimal choice, averaging 64 FPS. This configuration maintains playability with a minimum of 55 FPS, while the Low preset at 89 FPS sacrifices too much visual quality. The High preset’s 53 FPS average falls short of the threshold, making Medium the clear recommendation for 4K gaming with this hardware combination.
