Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the Intel Arc B580 presents a compelling mid-range combination for sports gaming, and the measured data for Undisputed shows a system that scales predictably across resolutions. The benchmark results reveal a clear story: this combo is capable of delivering a fluid experience at 1080p and 1440p with high fidelity, while 4K requires careful preset selection to remain within playable territory. The data indicates that the Arc B580’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and the Ryzen 5 5600's six Zen 3 cores create a balanced partnership, though the GPU becomes the primary constraint as resolution climbs.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is High, which delivers an average of 62 FPS. This is a tight margin above the playability threshold, suggesting that 4K gaming is viable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The Medium preset at this resolution averages 69.9 FPS, which is also playable but represents a step down in visual quality; however, the data shows that High is the optimal choice for balancing fidelity and performance at 4K. The Ultra preset falls short at 37.3 FPS, confirming that maximum settings are not feasible at this resolution.

Moving to 2560x1440, the system can handle the Ultra preset while staying above 60 FPS, with an average of 61.1 FPS. This is a marginal victory for maximum quality, as the average just clears the threshold. The High preset at this resolution is notably more comfortable at 93.5 FPS, and Medium reaches 116.6 FPS, showing that there is significant performance overhead if the user opts for slightly lower settings. The Low preset achieves 157.6 FPS, indicating that the GPU is far from saturated at this resolution when settings are reduced.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear choice, averaging 82 FPS. This comfortably exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, providing a smooth experience with all visual features enabled. The High preset reaches 129.9 FPS, Medium hits 155.9 FPS, and Low peaks at 223.1 FPS, demonstrating that the combo is heavily CPU-bound at this resolution with lower settings, as the frame rates scale dramatically with preset reductions.

FAQ

*Q: Can this PC run Undisputed at 4K with maximum settings?*

A: No. The Ultra preset at 3840x2160 averages 37.3 FPS, which is well below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest playable preset at 4K is High, averaging 62 FPS.

Q: What is the best preset for a 1440p monitor to ensure a smooth experience?

A: The Ultra preset at 2560x1440 averages 61.1 FPS, which technically clears the threshold, but it is a narrow margin. For more headroom, the High preset averages 93.5 FPS, providing a more stable experience without sacrificing much visual quality.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1080p with lower settings?

A: The Low preset at 1920x1080 yields an average of 223.1 FPS, and Medium reaches 155.9 FPS. These figures indicate that the system is capable of very high frame rates at 1080p, likely limited by the CPU rather than the GPU at these settings.

Q: Is the Arc B580 the bottleneck at any resolution?

A: The data suggests the GPU is the primary limiter at 4K, as the frame rate drops sharply from High (62 FPS) to Ultra (37.3 FPS). At 1080p, the high frame rates on Low (223.1 FPS) imply the CPU may be the limiting factor, since the GPU has more headroom.

Q: What is the combo's overall ranking among tested systems for this game?

A: The combo ranks 2844 out of 3718 tested combinations, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database for Undisputed performance.

Q: Does the GPU's memory capacity affect playability at higher resolutions?

A: The Arc B580 features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit bus and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth. This capacity is sufficient for the High preset at 4K (62 FPS), but the Ultra preset's 37.3 FPS result suggests that memory bandwidth or compute power, rather than sheer capacity, is the limiting factor at that setting.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Based on the nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU, several combinations would behave similarly to this setup. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 has an average benchmark score of 20468, placing it within 0.2% of the AMD Ryzen 5 8500G and 0.1% of the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V. These processors would likely deliver nearly identical frame pacing in Undisputed, as their multi-threaded performance is statistically indistinguishable.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B580's average score of 23021 is closely matched by the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP, which scores 23061 (a -0.2% delta). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, just 0.6% lower, while the RTX 3080 scores 23172, a -0.7% difference. In practical terms, swapping the Arc B580 for any of these cards would yield near-identical frame rates in Undisputed at the tested resolutions and presets. The RTX 3080, despite being a higher-tier card in other contexts, shows an average score that is within 1% of the B580, indicating that the game's workload is not particularly sensitive to the architectural differences between these GPUs.

The combination of a Ryzen 5 5600-class CPU with an RTX 2080-class GPU would replicate the measured results closely. For instance, pairing the Ryzen 5 5600 with an RTX 2080 would likely produce the same 62 FPS at 4K High and 82 FPS at 1080p Ultra, given the negligible performance deltas. Users considering alternative hardware should expect similar scaling patterns, with the GPU dictating performance at higher resolutions and the CPU becoming more relevant at 1080p.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Undisputed effectively across all common resolutions, though with caveats at 4K. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS threshold, with the Ultra preset averaging 82 FPS — this is the ideal environment for full visual fidelity. At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset also clears the threshold at 61.1 FPS, but the margin is slim; users seeking consistency might prefer High at 93.5 FPS. At 3840x2160, the system is limited to High settings (62 FPS) or lower (Medium at 69.9 FPS, Low at 103 FPS), as Ultra drops to 37.3 FPS. The verdictByResolution data explicitly lists High, Low, and Medium as playable at 4K, and all presets as playable at 1440p and 1080p. For a 60 FPS target, the best settings are High at 4K, Ultra at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the system's scaling behavior. At 3840x2160, the average frame rates are: Low at 103 FPS, Medium at 69.9 FPS, High at 62 FPS, and Ultra at 37.3 FPS. The progression shows a steep drop from High to Ultra, a 24.7 FPS decline, which indicates that the Ultra preset introduces a significant computational load that the B580 cannot sustain.

At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 157.6 FPS, Medium at 116.6 FPS, High at 93.5 FPS, and Ultra at 61.1 FPS. The gap between Medium and High (23.1 FPS) is larger than between High and Ultra (32.4 FPS), suggesting that the High preset balances quality and performance well at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the averages are: Low at 223.1 FPS, Medium at 155.9 FPS, High at 129.9 FPS, and Ultra at 82 FPS. The scaling from High to Ultra is a 47.9 FPS drop, the largest absolute reduction across all resolutions, which highlights that the Ultra preset's effects are most demanding at lower resolutions where the GPU has more headroom to render additional detail. Min and max FPS values are not provided in the data, so the analysis relies solely on averages.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database for Undisputed, this specific CPU-GPU combination ranks 2844 out of 3718 tested combos. This places it in the 23rd percentile of all tested systems, meaning roughly 77% of tested combos perform better. The ranking reflects the mid-range nature of the hardware: the Ryzen 5 5600 sits in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, while the Arc B580 is in the 68th percentile among all GPUs. The combo's rank is lower than either component's individual percentile, which suggests that the game is particularly demanding on the GPU, dragging the overall score down relative to systems with higher-end graphics cards. The rank of 2844 also indicates that while the system is fully playable at 1080p and 1440p, it is not competitive with high-end rigs at 4K Ultra, where the frame rate drops to 37.3 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 5 5600 and the Arc B580 changes significantly across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the CPU's role is more prominent, as evidenced by the frame rates on Low (223.1 FPS) and Medium (155.9 FPS). These high numbers suggest that the GPU is not the limiting factor at lower settings; instead, the six-core, twelve-thread CPU is likely the bottleneck. The Ryzen 5 5600's boost clock of 4.40 GHz and 32 MB of L3 cache provide solid single-thread performance, which is crucial for sports games that rely on physics and AI calculations. The single-core benchmark score of 2584 in Cinebench R23 supports this interpretation.

At 2560x1440, the balance shifts toward the GPU. The frame rates on Low (157.6 FPS) still indicate CPU headroom, but the drop to Ultra (61.1 FPS) shows the GPU becoming more constrained. The Arc B580's 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is adequate for this resolution, but the Ultra preset's demands push it close to its limits.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unequivocally the dominant factor. The frame rates are much lower across all presets (Low at 103 FPS, Ultra at 37.3 FPS), and the scaling from Medium to High (7.9 FPS difference) versus High to Ultra (24.7 FPS difference) indicates that the GPU's compute units and memory bandwidth (456.0 GB/s) are saturated. The CPU's role diminishes here, as even the Low preset's 103 FPS is far below the 1080p Low result, confirming that the GPU is the primary constraint at 4K. The data implies that users targeting 1440p or 1080p can rely on the CPU to maintain high frame rates, while 4K performance hinges entirely on the GPU's capabilities.
