Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a surprisingly strong showing in Undisputed, with benchmark data showing playable frame rates across all tested resolutions and most quality presets. The pairing ranks 2846 out of 3718 tested combinations in this game, placing it in the upper half of all systems evaluated. Measured performance data reveals that this mid-range CPU and GPU duo handles the boxing title with room to spare at 1080p, remains comfortable at 1440p, and only struggles at the most demanding 4K Ultra settings.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination covers three resolutions and four quality presets, providing a complete picture of performance scaling. At 1920x1080, the system delivers exceptional results across the board. Low settings produce an average of 218.7 FPS, Medium settings reach 155.4 FPS, High settings hit 128.4 FPS, and even Ultra settings maintain a strong 83 FPS average. These numbers indicate that the Ryzen 5 5500 and Arc B580 combination is never constrained by the CPU at 1080p, with even the heaviest preset leaving substantial performance headroom.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain highly playable but show the expected scaling pressure. Low settings average 159 FPS, Medium settings reach 111.9 FPS, High settings deliver 97.1 FPS, and Ultra settings still clear the 60 FPS threshold with a 63.6 FPS average. The drop from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra settings represents a reduction of roughly 23 percent, indicating that the GPU is beginning to take on more responsibility while the CPU continues to feed frames adequately.

At 3840x2160, the performance picture becomes more nuanced. Low settings average 100.8 FPS, Medium settings reach 71.5 FPS, High settings dip to 59.5 FPS, and Ultra settings fall to 42.1 FPS. The 4K High preset sits just below the 60 FPS playability threshold, while Ultra drops significantly further. The scaling from 1440p to 4K at Medium settings shows a 36 percent reduction, and at High settings the reduction is approximately 39 percent, demonstrating that the Arc B580's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are being pushed hard at this resolution.

The data includes no minimum or maximum frame time measurements, so the analysis relies on average FPS only. The absence of min/max figures means that transient stutters or frame pacing issues cannot be assessed, but the consistent averages across presets suggest stable performance overall.

Best Settings per Resolution

The best settings for each resolution are defined as the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset qualifies with an average of 83 FPS, making it the clear recommendation for players who want maximum visual quality without sacrificing smoothness. The 83 FPS average provides a comfortable margin above the playability threshold, leaving room for occasional demanding scenes without dropping below 60 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also qualifies with a 63.6 FPS average, though the margin is slimmer. This represents the best balance of visual fidelity and performance at this resolution, with the 63.6 FPS average sitting just 3.6 FPS above the playability threshold. Players who prefer additional headroom could select High settings at 97.1 FPS, but the data supports Ultra as the best settings for this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset is the most demanding option that clears 60 FPS, with an average of 71.5 FPS. The High preset falls short at 59.5 FPS, so Medium represents the ceiling for 4K playability with this hardware. The 71.5 FPS average provides a reasonable buffer, though the gap between Medium and High is substantial enough that players may notice the quality reduction.

The verdict data confirms these selections, listing Medium as the best 4K setting with 71.5 FPS, Ultra as the best 1440p setting with 63.6 FPS, and Ultra as the best 1080p setting with 83 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals an interesting division of labor between the Ryzen 5 5500 and the Arc B580 across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU's role is more prominent, as evidenced by the relatively small performance delta between Low and Ultra presets. The 218.7 FPS at Low settings drops to 83 FPS at Ultra, a 62 percent reduction that indicates the GPU becomes the limiting factor even at this resolution when quality settings increase.

The 6-core, 12-thread Ryzen 5 5500 with its 3.60 GHz base clock and 4.20 GHz boost clock provides sufficient single-thread performance for the game's physics and AI calculations. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 2319 and multi-core score of 16429 suggest that the CPU is well-suited for sports titles that typically rely on a smaller number of heavily utilized threads.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's workload increases more rapidly than the CPU's, and the scaling between presets becomes steeper. Low settings produce 159 FPS, but Ultra drops to 63.6 FPS, a 60 percent reduction. The performance gap between 1080p and 1440p at the same preset is smaller than the gap between Low and Ultra at the same resolution, confirming that GPU load is scaling primarily with quality settings rather than resolution alone.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the dominant factor. The 42.1 FPS at Ultra settings represents a 50 percent reduction from the 83 FPS at 1080p Ultra, and the gap between Medium and Ultra at 4K is substantial. The Arc B580's 13.67 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 213.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are being taxed heavily at this resolution, while the Ryzen 5 5500's 16 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s appear sufficient to keep up.

The scaling pattern suggests that the CPU matters more at lower resolutions and lower presets, while the GPU becomes increasingly important as resolution and quality settings rise. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 218.7 FPS, a figure that likely approaches the CPU's frame delivery ceiling. At 4K Ultra, the 42.1 FPS result indicates that the GPU is the primary constraint, with the CPU having ample headroom.

The Verdict

This PC can run Undisputed successfully across most of the tested configuration space, with clear playability at every resolution when appropriate settings are selected. At 1920x1080, all four presets surpass the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra achieving 83 FPS and providing a comfortable experience for both standard and high refresh rate displays. At 2560x1440, all four presets remain playable, with Ultra at 63.6 FPS representing the highest quality option that still maintains smooth performance.

The 3840x2160 resolution presents the only limitations. Low settings at 100.8 FPS and Medium settings at 71.5 FPS are both playable, but High drops to 59.5 FPS and Ultra falls to 42.1 FPS. Players targeting 4K should select Medium settings to stay above the playability threshold, or accept the slight compromise of High settings with the understanding that average frame rates will sit just below 60 FPS.

The verdict data confirms that at 1920x1080 and 2560x1440, all settings including Ultra are playable. At 3840x2160, only Low and Medium are playable, with Medium serving as the best recommended setting. This system is well-suited for Undisputed players who prioritize frame rate and competitive play, with the only significant compromise occurring at 4K with high quality presets. The combination of the Ryzen 5 5500's strong multi-threaded performance and the Arc B580's capable 12 GB GDDR6 memory configuration delivers a balanced gaming experience that handles this sports title effectively.
