Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 paired with the Intel Arc B580 presents a compelling mid-range combination for Undisputed, a sports title with modest graphical demands. The benchmark data shows this combo is capable of delivering smooth gameplay at high refresh rates in most scenarios, though 4K Ultra remains out of reach. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across resolutions and settings, examines the balance between CPU and GPU load, and provides clear recommendations for the best playable experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination reveals a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional headroom. With Low settings, the average FPS reaches 222.1. Moving to Medium yields 157 FPS, which is still far above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The High preset produces 134 FPS, and even the most demanding Ultra settings maintain an average of 84.6 FPS. No min or max FPS values were recorded in the data, so the analysis relies solely on averages.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the expected scaling penalty. The Low preset achieves 162.2 FPS, while Medium drops to 111.7 FPS. The High preset delivers 95.4 FPS, and Ultra settings barely clear the playable line at 60.3 FPS. This resolution is where the Arc B580 starts to feel the pressure, but the Ryzen 7 7700's strong multi-threaded performance helps maintain consistency.

The 4K results (3840x2160) tell a more constrained story. At Low settings, the combo produces 99.3 FPS, which is surprising headroom for a 4K resolution. The Medium preset drops to 74.3 FPS, still playable. However, High settings fall to 58.9 FPS, just below the 60 FPS threshold, and Ultra plummets to 39.8 FPS, making it unsuitable for smooth play. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep, with the 4K Ultra result representing a 34% drop from the 1440p Ultra score.

FAQ

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

A: No. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with High settings is 58.9, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium settings at 74.3 FPS are the best playable option at this resolution.

Q: What is the best preset for 2560x1440?

A: The Ultra preset is playable at 1440p, with an average FPS of 60.3. This barely clears the 60 FPS threshold, making it the most demanding playable setting. For more headroom, High settings at 95.4 FPS are recommended.

Q: How does the combo perform at 1080p for competitive or high-refresh play?

A: The data shows excellent headroom. Even at Ultra settings, the average FPS is 84.6. Lowering to Medium yields 157 FPS, and Low settings reach 222.1 FPS, making this combo suitable for 144Hz or even higher refresh rate monitors.

Q: Is the Intel Arc B580 the limiting factor at 4K?

A: The data indicates GPU-bound behavior at 4K. The FPS drops from 99.3 at Low to 39.8 at Ultra, a 60% reduction, which is a classic sign of the GPU struggling with fill-rate and shader demands. The CPU's ample multi-threading at 18760 in Cinebench R23 suggests it is not the bottleneck at this resolution.

Q: What is the playable threshold for this game?

A: The defined playable threshold is 60 FPS. Any settings configuration with an average FPS at or above this value is considered playable.

Q: Does the combo rank high among tested configurations?

A: This combo ranks 2829 out of 3718 tested combos for Undisputed. This places it in the lower-middle portion of the field, but the actual gameplay performance is solid for the resolutions and settings tested.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear shift in component importance depending on resolution. At 1920x1080, the CPU plays a more significant role. The Ryzen 7 7700, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides strong single-thread and multi-thread performance, as evidenced by its 3dmark_single_thread score of 1049 and cinebench_r23_multicore score of 18760. The gap between Low (222.1 FPS) and Ultra (84.6 FPS) at 1080p is 137.5 FPS, indicating that the GPU is still scaling with settings, but the CPU has enough headroom to feed it effectively.

As resolution increases to 2560x1440, the GPU load grows. The spread between Low (162.2 FPS) and Ultra (60.3 FPS) is 101.9 FPS. This narrower gap compared to 1080p suggests the GPU is becoming a larger factor, but the CPU still maintains a solid performance floor.

At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates the equation. The Arc B580's 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth become the primary constraint. The FPS spread between Low (99.3) and Ultra (39.8) is 59.5 FPS, a relatively smaller absolute range but a massive relative drop. This pattern indicates that at 4K, the game is almost entirely GPU-bound. The CPU's performance, while still important, is not the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 7700's 83.2 GB/s memory bandwidth and 32 MB of L3 cache are sufficient to keep the GPU fed, but the Arc B580's raw compute power (13.67 TFLOPS FP32) is insufficient for high-fidelity 4K rendering.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Undisputed is answered clearly by the resolution-specific data. At 1920x1080, the answer is a definitive yes. All four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 84.6 FPS. This makes the combo highly capable for 1080p gaming, even with maximum settings.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is also positive, but with less headroom. All four presets are playable, but Ultra settings sit right at the edge with 60.3 FPS. This is technically playable, but a slight dip in a demanding scene could push it below the threshold. High settings at 95.4 FPS are a safer choice for consistent frame rates.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is mixed. The combo can run the game, but not at the highest fidelity. Low settings (99.3 FPS) and Medium settings (74.3 FPS) are playable. High settings at 58.9 FPS miss the threshold, and Ultra at 39.8 FPS is far too slow for a smooth experience. The data suggests that 4K gaming requires a more powerful GPU. The verdict is that this PC is a strong 1080p and 1440p machine, with limited 4K capability that is restricted to Medium settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the goal is to identify the most demanding preset that maintains an average FPS at or above 60.

At 3840x2160, the best playable setting is Medium, which delivers 74.3 FPS. This provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold while offering a balance between visual quality and performance. High settings at 58.9 FPS are not recommended due to being below the threshold.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is Ultra, which averages 60.3 FPS. This is a marginal pass, leaving almost no headroom for frame-time spikes. For a more stable experience, High settings at 95.4 FPS are a stronger recommendation, but strictly by the 60 FPS rule, Ultra is the highest playable preset.

At 1920x1080, the best setting is Ultra at 84.6 FPS. This is the most demanding preset and it clears the threshold with a healthy 24.6 FPS buffer. This allows for full visual fidelity without sacrificing smoothness, making 1080p the ideal resolution for this combo.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank in Undisputed is 2829 out of 3718 tested combinations. This places it in the 24th percentile of all tested systems, indicating that a majority of other configurations perform better. However, this raw rank does not diminish the actual playability results.

The rank reflects the overall performance ceiling of the hardware, not the quality of the experience at common resolutions. The Ryzen 7 7700's avgBenchmarkScore of 40081 places it in the 87th percentile of all CPUs, a strong processor. The Arc B580, with an avgBenchmarkScore of 23021, sits in the 68th percentile of all GPUs. The combination of a top-tier CPU and a mid-range GPU is the reason for the relatively low overall rank; the GPU is the limiting factor for demanding titles.

The nearest CPU rivals underscore the processor's standing. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 is only 0.1% ahead, while the Intel Core 5 221E is 0.2% behind. The GPU rivals show a similar tight grouping: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 is 0.6% ahead, and the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP is 0.2% behind. This indicates that the combo's performance is closely matched with other systems in its class, and the rank is a reflection of the competitive landscape rather than a flaw in this specific pairing. For Undisputed, the rank is acceptable given the game's moderate demands, and the measured FPS data shows it delivers a satisfying experience where it matters most.
