Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a wide range of performance in Undisputed, a sports title that scales cleanly across resolutions and presets. The measured data shows a system that can handle high refresh rates at 1080p and 1440p, while 4K remains playable only at specific settings. This analysis walks through the exact FPS figures, component roles, comparable hardware, and the final verdict for this pairing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combination produces its highest frame rates. The Low preset reaches an average of 221 FPS, which is the fastest result recorded in the dataset. Medium settings drop to 159 FPS average, with a minimum of 135 FPS and a maximum of 183 FPS. High settings deliver 132 FPS average, while Ultra still achieves 85 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra is substantial, with the Ultra preset running at roughly 38.5% of the Low preset’s speed. Even at the most demanding 1080p setting, the system stays well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains strong but the scaling is noticeable. Low settings hit 160 FPS average, which is 61 FPS lower than the 1080p Low result. Medium averages 115 FPS, with a minimum of 98 FPS and a maximum of 132 FPS. High settings produce 95 FPS average, and Ultra drops to 61 FPS average. The Ultra preset at 1440p is the first point where the system approaches the playable threshold, but it still clears it by a single frame. The minimum FPS data is only available for Medium, but the 98 FPS minimum indicates that even in demanding moments, the system avoids dipping below the playable line.

At 3840x2160, the performance picture changes dramatically. Low settings still manage 101 FPS average, which is respectable for 4K. Medium averages 73 FPS, with a minimum of 62 FPS and a maximum of 84 FPS. High settings drop to exactly 60 FPS average, which is right at the playable threshold. Ultra falls to 39 FPS average, which is well below the 60 FPS line and not recommended for smooth gameplay. The 4K Ultra result is the only measured configuration in the entire dataset that fails to meet the playable threshold.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each resolution step from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reduces performance by roughly 30-40% at the same preset. For example, Medium goes from 159 FPS at 1080p to 115 FPS at 1440p to 73 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset suffers the most at 4K, likely due to the combination of high pixel count and the most demanding settings. Overall, the system is clearly capable at 1080p and 1440p, but 4K requires a choice between Low, Medium, or High settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Intel Arc B580 is the primary driver of frame rates in Undisputed, as evidenced by the sharp performance drop when moving from 1080p to 4K. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more headroom, and the GPU is likely the limiting factor even at Low settings, where 221 FPS suggests the graphics card is working near its capacity. The Ryzen 7 5800XT, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides enough single-thread performance for the game’s physics and logic, as indicated by its 3dmark single-thread score of 959 and passmark single-thread score of 3535.

At 2560x1440, the scaling is mostly uniform across presets, which suggests the GPU is still the main bottleneck. The difference between Low (160 FPS) and Ultra (61 FPS) is 99 FPS, a larger spread than at 1080p where the gap is 136 FPS. This indicates that at 1440p, the GPU’s compute resources are more evenly taxed across settings, but the CPU is not yet the limiting factor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU role becomes even more dominant. The jump from 1440p Ultra (61 FPS) to 4K Ultra (39 FPS) is a 22 FPS drop, which is a 36% reduction. This is a larger relative drop than from 1080p Ultra (85 FPS) to 1440p Ultra (61 FPS), which is a 28% reduction. The data points to the Arc B580’s memory bandwidth and shading units being the constraint at 4K. The GPU has 2560 shading units and 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and at 4K, the pixel count demands more from these resources.

The CPU’s role becomes more relevant at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the 221 FPS average is likely close to what the Ryzen 7 5800XT can feed to the GPU. The CPU’s cinebench r23 multicore score of 23794 and passmark multithread score of 28053 show strong multi-threaded capability, but Undisputed is a sports game that typically relies on a few main threads. The 3dmark 2-thread score of 1879 and 4-thread score of 3603 confirm that the CPU excels in lightly-threaded workloads. At 4K, the CPU has ample headroom, but the GPU cannot keep up, so the frame rate is entirely GPU-bound.

In summary, the data shows that the GPU is the dominant factor at all resolutions, with the CPU becoming more relevant only at 1080p where very high frame rates are possible. The scaling between resolutions is smooth, and the system never appears to be CPU-limited in a way that would cause stuttering or frame drops.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide context for what other hardware would behave similarly. The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT has an average benchmark score of 29879, and its closest competitors are the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (average score 29868, delta 0%), the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (average score 29955, delta -0.3%), the AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS (average score 29955, delta -0.3%), and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (average score 29713, delta 0.6%). These deltas are all within 1% of each other, meaning that swapping the 5800XT for any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed. The 8845HS and 7840HS are slightly faster in aggregate, but the difference is negligible for gaming.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B580 has an average benchmark score of 23021. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (average score 23061, delta -0.2%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (average score 22895, delta 0.6%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (average score 23172, delta -0.7%), and the NVIDIA P106-100 (average score 23249, delta -1%). The RTX 3080 is the most interesting comparison, as it is a high-end card from a previous generation, yet its average score is only 0.7% higher than the Arc B580. This suggests that the Arc B580 can deliver performance similar to an RTX 3080 in synthetic benchmarks, and by extension, in Undisputed, the frame rates would be very close. The RX 580 2048SP is an older card, but its delta of -0.2% means it would produce nearly the same FPS, which is surprising but supported by the data.

In practice, if you have a system with one of these rival CPUs and the Arc B580, you would see almost identical performance in Undisputed. Conversely, if you paired the Ryzen 7 5800XT with one of the rival GPUs, the frame rates would be within a few percentage points. The RTX 2080, for example, has a delta of 0.6%, which means it would be slightly faster than the Arc B580, but the difference is less than 1% of the average score. For a player targeting 60 FPS at 4K High, any of these GPU alternatives would land at the same 60 FPS average.

The Verdict

The data indicates that this PC can run Undisputed at all three tested resolutions, but with important caveats. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset averages 85 FPS, which is 25 FPS above the playable line, so players have full freedom to choose any setting. At 2560x1440, all four presets also stay above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset averages exactly 61 FPS, which is just one frame above the threshold, making it playable but not with much headroom. Medium and High are more comfortable, with 115 FPS and 95 FPS respectively.

At 3840x2160, the system can run Low (101 FPS), Medium (73 FPS), and High (60 FPS) settings. The High preset exactly meets the 60 FPS threshold, so it is playable but leaves no margin for frame drops. The Ultra preset averages 39 FPS, which is 21 FPS below the playable line, so it should be avoided for smooth gameplay. The verdict by resolution confirms this: 1080p and 1440p are fully playable at all settings, while 4K is playable up to High settings, with Ultra being the only non-playable configuration.

For players who prioritize visual quality, 1080p Ultra at 85 FPS is the best balance of fidelity and speed. At 1440p, Ultra at 61 FPS is technically playable, but the tight margin suggests that High (95 FPS) is a safer choice for consistent performance. At 4K, High at 60 FPS is the maximum playable preset, and Medium at 73 FPS offers more headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and Intel Arc B580 combination ranks 2794 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the 75th percentile of all tested systems, meaning it outperforms roughly 75% of other combinations. The rank is based on the actual measured FPS data, not synthetic benchmarks, so it reflects real-world gameplay performance. The system is solidly above average, but not in the top tier of gaming rigs. The ranking makes sense given that the CPU is a strong mid-range option (81st percentile vs all CPUs) and the GPU is a capable mid-range card (68th percentile vs all GPUs).

The rank of 2794 is not a judgment of whether the system is good or bad, but rather where it sits relative to other combos. For a sports game like Undisputed, which is not as demanding as AAA shooters or open-world titles, this combo is more than sufficient for high refresh rate play at 1080p and 1440p. The rank also suggests that many higher-ranked combos likely feature more powerful GPUs, such as the RTX 3080, which is a close rival to the Arc B580 but has a slightly higher average score. However, the performance delta is small, so the actual in-game difference is minimal.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, which averages 85 FPS. This is the best setting for maximum visual quality without sacrificing playability. The data shows no need to drop below Ultra at this resolution, as even the most demanding preset has 25 FPS of headroom.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is also Ultra, with an average FPS of 61. This is exactly at the playable threshold, but it still meets the requirement. Players who want more margin for error might choose High (95 FPS), but the data supports Ultra as playable. The 61 FPS average is tight, but it is above the 60 FPS line.

At 3840x2160, the best setting is High, which averages 60 FPS. This is the maximum preset that meets the playable threshold. Medium (73 FPS) is a viable alternative with more headroom, but High is the most demanding playable option. Ultra (39 FPS) is not playable and should be avoided.
