Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a solid, if nuanced, experience in Undisputed. The data shows that this combination is capable of smooth playable framerates at most resolutions and settings, but it demands some attention to detail when dialing in the graphics options. Below is a breakdown of exactly what to expect from this pairing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination covers three resolutions and four quality presets. At 1920x1080, the performance is overwhelmingly strong. The Low preset delivers an average of 221.1 FPS, which is exceptionally high and leaves massive headroom for high-refresh-rate displays. Moving up to Medium yields an average of 158.5 FPS, still excellent for competitive play. The High preset drops to an average of 130 FPS, which remains very smooth. The most demanding Ultra preset at 1080p produces an average of 84.7 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold and indicates that the combination is not stressed at this resolution.

Stepping up to 2560x1440, the performance profile shifts but remains strong. The Low preset reaches an average of 159.9 FPS, showing that the CPU and GPU combination can still push very high framerates when graphical load is minimal. Medium produces an average of 116.6 FPS, and High delivers 92.6 FPS. All of these are well within the playable zone. The Ultra preset at 1440p produces an average of 61.3 FPS, which just clears the 60 FPS threshold. This is the first point where the combination begins to show strain, but it remains playable.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes more dramatically. The Low preset still manages an average of 101.9 FPS, proving the hardware retains significant capability. Medium drops to an average of 72.2 FPS, and High yields 63.2 FPS, both still above the playable threshold. However, the Ultra preset at 4K falls to an average of 37.8 FPS, which is well below the 60 FPS mark and effectively not playable for smooth gameplay. The scaling between presets at 4K is steep, with a substantial performance cost for the jump to Ultra settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results across resolutions and presets indicate that the Intel Arc B580 is the primary performance driver in this pairing, with the Ryzen 5 7500F providing sufficient headroom to avoid bottlenecking. The clearest evidence is the scaling between resolutions. When moving from 1080p to 1440p with the Ultra preset, the average FPS drops from 84.7 to 61.3, a reduction of roughly 28%. This is a significant drop, but the fact that the 1440p Ultra result still hits 61.3 FPS suggests the GPU is handling the increased pixel load competently, while the CPU maintains enough throughput to keep framerates near the playable threshold.

The role of the CPU becomes more apparent at lower settings and resolutions. The Low preset at 1080p produces 221.1 FPS, a number so high that it likely approaches the limits of what the engine and CPU can feed to the GPU. At 1440p Low, the average is 159.9 FPS, and at 4K Low it is 101.9 FPS. This scaling shows that even when the GPU is less burdened, the framerate remains extremely high, indicating that the Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads and boost clock of 5.00 GHz, is more than adequate for this title. The GPU becomes the limiting factor primarily when moving to the Ultra preset.

At 4K, the GPU's role is decisive. The jump from High (63.2 FPS) to Ultra (37.8 FPS) represents a massive 40% performance hit, which is far larger than the drop observed at lower resolutions. This indicates that the Ultra preset at 4K places a demand on the Arc B580's rendering capabilities that it cannot meet, pushing the workload beyond its sustainable limits. The CPU's performance is not the constraint here; the data suggests that even a more powerful CPU would not rescue the 4K Ultra framerate.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for both components provides context for what other hardware might behave similarly. For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F has an average benchmark score of 24964. The closest competitor in the data is the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, which scores 25005, a negligible -0.2% difference. This means the 8400F would deliver essentially identical CPU performance in Undisputed. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, a 0.2% delta, and the Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935 at a 0.1% delta. The Intel Core 5 210H scores 24872, a 0.4% difference. All of these CPUs are within a fraction of a percent of the 7500F's average score, so any of them would yield nearly indistinguishable results in this game, assuming the GPU remains the same.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B580 has an average benchmark score of 23021. The nearest rivals are a mixed group. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, a 0.6% delta, meaning it is essentially equivalent in overall compute performance. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 23061 at a -0.2% delta, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172 at a -0.7% delta. Notably, the NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, a -1% delta. The presence of the RTX 3080 in this list is interesting; its average score is only 0.7% higher than the B580, suggesting that in this specific workload, the newer Intel GPU is on par with a previous-generation flagship. In practice, a system with the Ryzen 5 7500F and any of these rival GPUs would likely produce very similar FPS numbers in Undisputed, with the differences being within a couple of frames per second.
