Undisputed

Measured FPS Breakdown

Starting with 1920x1080, the recorded data shows a clear performance curve across presets. At Low settings, the combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Arc B390 delivers an average of 127 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 91 FPS, with measured minimums of 78 FPS and maximums of 105 FPS. This is still comfortably playable, and the minimum frame rate never dips below the 60 FPS mark. At High settings, the average is 76 FPS, which remains above the playable threshold, though no min/max values were recorded for this preset. Ultra settings tell a different story: the average falls to 49 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that this preset is not suitable for smooth gameplay at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down as expected. Low settings produce an average of 92 FPS, still well above the playable threshold. Medium settings deliver an average of 66 FPS, with a minimum of 56 FPS and a maximum of 76 FPS. The average clears 60 FPS, but the minimum does dip below it, so there will be occasional frame drops in demanding scenes. High settings at 1440p average 55 FPS, which falls short of the 60 FPS target. Ultra settings average only 35 FPS, making them effectively unplayable at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the picture becomes more constrained. Low settings average 58 FPS, which is just under the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings average 42 FPS, with a minimum of 36 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High settings average 35 FPS, and Ultra settings average 22 FPS. None of the presets at 4K reach the 60 FPS threshold, so 4K gaming with this hardware requires accepting frame rates below the ideal target.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the gap between Low and Ultra presets is substantial at every resolution. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 78 FPS, while at 1440p it is 57 FPS, and at 4K it is 36 FPS. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor when pushing higher settings, as the frame rate scales strongly with preset quality.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Undisputed at 1080p with High settings?

A: Yes. The measured average at 1920x1080 with High settings is 76 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the best playable preset at this resolution.

Q: What is the best preset at 1440p that stays above 60 FPS?

A: Medium settings at 2560x1440 deliver an average of 66 FPS. This is the only preset at 1440p besides Low that clears the 60 FPS average, and it is the highest quality option that does so. Note that the minimum FPS of 56 can dip below the threshold.

Q: Is 4K playable with this hardware?

A: No. All presets at 3840x2160 fall below the 60 FPS average threshold. The closest is Low settings at 58 FPS average, which is still under 60 FPS and therefore not classified as playable in the database.

Q: How much performance does the Ultra preset cost compared to Low?

A: At 1080p, Ultra averages 49 FPS versus 127 FPS for Low, a drop of 78 FPS. At 1440p, Ultra averages 35 FPS versus 92 FPS for Low, a drop of 57 FPS. At 4K, Ultra averages 22 FPS versus 58 FPS for Low, a drop of 36 FPS.

Q: Does the CPU or GPU matter more for this game?

A: The frame rate scaling between presets is much larger than the scaling between resolutions, which indicates the GPU is the primary constraint. For example, at 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra drops the average from 127 FPS to 49 FPS, while moving from 1080p to 4K at Low settings drops the average from 127 FPS to 58 FPS. The preset quality has a larger impact than resolution, pointing to GPU-bound performance.

Q: What is the 1080p Ultra experience like?

A: The average of 49 FPS falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold, so it is not recommended for smooth gameplay. The frame rate will feel noticeably less fluid compared to High settings, which average 76 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals a system that is heavily GPU-limited in Undisputed. The CPU, AMD Ryzen 5 5600F, has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz and a PassMark single-thread score of 2872. Its multithreaded score is 19236, and it sits in the 85th percentile of all CPUs. The GPU, Intel Arc B390, is an integrated graphics solution with 1536 shading units, 12 ray tracing cores, and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 1482, placing it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs. This is a massive gap in relative standing: the CPU is well above average, while the GPU is far below.

The FPS data confirms this imbalance. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 127 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough frames. But when the preset is raised to Ultra, the average collapses to 49 FPS. If the CPU were the bottleneck, raising the preset would have a smaller effect on frame rate, since the CPU work per frame is relatively constant across quality settings. Instead, the large drop indicates the GPU is running out of pixel and shading throughput at higher settings.

Resolution scaling also points to GPU limitation. At Low settings, going from 1080p to 1440p reduces the average from 127 FPS to 92 FPS, a 28% drop. Going from 1440p to 4K reduces it from 92 FPS to 58 FPS, a 37% drop. These are significant reductions that track with the increasing pixel count, which is a classic sign of GPU-bound rendering. The CPU has headroom, as evidenced by the high frame rates at low settings and low resolutions.

For players, this means the CPU is not a concern for Undisputed. The Ryzen 5 5600F has enough single-thread and multi-thread performance to handle the game's simulation and physics. The GPU is the limiting factor, and the practical takeaway is that settings and resolution must be tuned to the Arc B390's capabilities. The 9th percentile GPU standing is consistent with the observed inability to run Ultra presets at any resolution above 1080p, and even 1080p Ultra falls short of 60 FPS.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is clear from the recorded data. At 1920x1080, the playable presets are High, Low, and Medium, all of which average above 60 FPS. The best playable preset is High, with an average of 76 FPS. Ultra is not playable, averaging 49 FPS. At 2560x1440, the playable presets are Low and Medium. Low averages 92 FPS, and Medium averages 66 FPS. The best playable preset is Medium, with an average of 66 FPS, though the minimum of 56 FPS means occasional dips below the threshold. High and Ultra at 1440p are not playable, averaging 55 FPS and 35 FPS respectively. At 3840x2160, no preset is playable. The closest is Low at 58 FPS average, which still falls short of the 60 FPS target.

This system can run Undisputed, but only with the right expectations. At 1080p, it offers a solid experience with High settings, delivering 76 FPS on average. At 1440p, Medium settings provide a playable average of 66 FPS, but the frame time consistency is not perfect, as the minimum drops to 56 FPS. At 4K, the hardware is not sufficient for smooth gameplay, and players should avoid this resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance.

The overall ranking of this combo in the database is 3304 out of 3718 combinations, which places it in the lower portion of tested configurations. This is consistent with the GPU's low percentile standing, despite the CPU being relatively strong. The practical verdict: use 1080p for the best experience, or 1440p with Medium settings if you prefer higher resolution and can tolerate occasional frame dips.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are closely matched. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 has an average score of 36938, with a delta of 0% compared to the Ryzen 5 5600F's average score of 36945. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018, which is 0.2% higher. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093, 0.4% higher, and the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112, 0.5% higher. These four processors are effectively interchangeable for Undisputed, as their benchmark scores differ by less than a percent. Any of them would deliver the same CPU-side performance in this game, meaning they would not change the GPU-bound nature of the system.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are much lower in performance, which reflects the Arc B390's 9th percentile position. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX scores 1463, which is 1.3% lower than the Arc B390's 1482. The NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% lower. The NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% lower, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% lower. These GPUs would behave similarly in Undisputed, meaning they would also struggle to maintain 60 FPS at higher presets and would be limited to Low or Medium settings at best. The performance deltas are small enough that swapping to any of these GPUs would not produce a meaningful change in frame rates.

Players considering a CPU upgrade should know that the Ryzen 5 5600F is already positioned among closely matched alternatives, so the gains would be minimal. Players considering a GPU change should look for something significantly above the Arc B390's performance class, as the nearby rivals are all within 3% of its score and would not improve the experience.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 76 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 1080p, as it provides the best visual quality while maintaining a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. Medium settings at 91 FPS are also viable if you prefer higher frame rates, and Low at 127 FPS offers the smoothest experience, but High strikes the best balance.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 66 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 1440p. Note that the measured minimum of 56 FPS falls below the threshold, so there may be brief stutters in heavy scenes. Low settings at 92 FPS provide a more consistent experience if you prioritize frame rate stability over visual quality.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The closest is Low at 58 FPS average, but since the database does not classify any 4K preset as playable, the recommendation is to avoid this resolution entirely. If 4K is a requirement, the hardware would need to be upgraded, as even the lowest settings cannot deliver a playable average frame rate.

The summary: 1080p High at 76 FPS is the best overall experience, 1440p Medium at 66 FPS is acceptable with caveats, and 4K is not viable for playable frame rates.
