Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-13400F paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a consistently playable experience in Undisputed, with the data showing that the combination only struggles to maintain 60 FPS at the 4K Ultra preset. At 1440p and 1080p, every tested preset—from Low to Ultra—stays at or above 62 FPS, making this a versatile combo for high-refresh-rate monitors. The most demanding setting that remains fluid at 4K is Medium, which achieves an average of 75.2 FPS, while stepping up to High at that resolution drops the average to 59.5 FPS, just below the playable threshold. This combo ranks 2832 out of 3718 tested configurations in the game, placing it in the lower-middle tier of all possible pairings, yet its real-world performance in this specific title is far more capable than that rank might suggest.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo covers three resolutions and four quality presets, with average frame rates provided for each combination. At 1920x1080, the Intel Core i5-13400F and Intel Arc B580 deliver outstanding headroom across the board. The Low preset produces an average of 219 FPS, while Medium reaches 158.5 FPS. High settings yield 128.7 FPS, and even the demanding Ultra preset maintains a robust 85.4 FPS average. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the Arc B580 is rarely the limiting factor, as even the heaviest settings leave more than 25 FPS of margin above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but begins to show the expected scaling pressure. Low settings average 157.7 FPS, which is a 28% reduction from the 1080p Low result. Medium at 1440p averages 115.6 FPS, High hits 96.8 FPS, and Ultra drops to 62.3 FPS. The Ultra result is particularly notable because it barely clears the 60 FPS threshold, meaning that players wanting to run at maximum quality at 1440p will have very little frame-rate cushion during intense boxing exchanges.

At 3840x2160, the scaling becomes steep, and the data reveals the limits of this hardware combination. Low settings at 4K average 102.6 FPS, which is still highly playable, while Medium averages 75.2 FPS. High settings fall to 59.5 FPS, just under the playable mark, and Ultra drops to 36.5 FPS, which is not suitable for smooth gameplay. The gap between Medium and High at 4K is 15.7 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 23 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset imposes a severe load that this GPU cannot handle at 4K resolution.

It is worth remembering the data shows no min or max FPS values for any of these configurations, so the analysis relies solely on average frame rates. The variance between presets at each resolution is consistent with what one would expect from a modern sports title, where geometry and material complexity scale significantly with quality settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals from the CPU and GPU benchmark data, several alternative pairings would behave similarly to the i5-13400F and Arc B580 in Undisputed. On the CPU side, the Intel Core i5-13400F has an average benchmark score of 25292, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. Its closest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS with an average score of 25284 and a delta of 0%, meaning these two processors are functionally equivalent in synthetic workloads. The Intel Core 5 120 scores 25362 with a delta of -0.3%, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X3D scores 25365 with a delta of -0.3%, both of which would produce nearly identical frame rates in Undisputed when paired with the same GPU. The AMD Ryzen 7 6800H scores 25201 with a delta of 0.4%, also within noise of the i5-13400F.

For the GPU, the Intel Arc B580 has an average benchmark score of 23021 and sits in the 68th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are particularly interesting because they span multiple generations and architectures. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 23061 with a delta of -0.2%, meaning this older card would deliver essentially the same average frame rates in Undisputed. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895 with a delta of 0.6%, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172 with a delta of -0.7%. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249 with a delta of -1%. This suggests that a system with an RTX 3080, which is nominally a much more powerful card in other contexts, would perform within 1% of the Arc B580 in this game's measured scenarios. Conversely, the RTX 2080 would be about 0.6% slower, and the RX 580 2048SP would be 0.2% slower.

When considering a full system replacement, a Ryzen 9 6900HS or Ryzen 7 6800H paired with an RTX 3080 would produce nearly identical FPS figures to the i5-13400F and Arc B580 combination. Similarly, a Ryzen 5 5600X3D with an RX 580 2048SP would be a close match, given that both the CPU and GPU deltas are within 0.3% of the tested parts.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals clear patterns about which component matters more at each resolution and preset. At 1920x1080, the system shows massive headroom at all settings, with the Low preset hitting 219 FPS and Ultra still reaching 85.4 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 61% reduction in frame rate (from 219 to 85.4 FPS), which indicates that the GPU is doing most of the work as settings increase. However, the fact that even Ultra stays above 85 FPS suggests that the i5-13400F's 10 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient to feed the Arc B580 at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the GPU load increases noticeably. The Low preset drops from 219 FPS at 1080p to 157.7 FPS at 1440p, a 28% decrease that is directly attributable to the higher pixel count. The Ultra preset at 1440p averages 62.3 FPS, which is 27% lower than the 1080p Ultra result. This consistent reduction across all presets indicates that at 1440p, the Arc B580 is becoming the primary bottleneck, while the CPU continues to provide sufficient frame pacing.

The 4K results make the GPU's dominance unmistakable. The Low preset at 4K averages 102.6 FPS, which is 35% lower than the same preset at 1440p. The Medium preset at 4K (75.2 FPS) is 35% lower than Medium at 1440p (115.6 FPS). The High preset at 4K (59.5 FPS) is 38% lower than High at 1440p (96.8 FPS). These scaling percentages are nearly uniform, which is a classic sign that the GPU is fully saturated and the CPU is no longer contributing to performance differences. The CPU's role at 4K is to simply avoid bottlenecking, and the i5-13400F's single-thread score of 960 in 3dmark and 3634 in Passmark indicates it has enough headroom for this task.

What the data does not show is any scenario where the CPU becomes the limiting factor. Even at 1080p Low with 219 FPS, the frame rate is likely capped by the GPU or the game's engine rather than the CPU, since the i5-13400F's multicore score of 22604 in Cinebench R23 is far above what a sports title would require. Players should therefore attribute any frame rate differences between presets to the Arc B580's rendering load, not the processor.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 75.2 FPS. The High preset at this resolution averages 59.5 FPS, which falls below the playable threshold, so Medium is the recommended ceiling for 4K. This setting provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS while still delivering improved visuals over Low, which averages 102.6 FPS.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 62.3 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available and just clears the 60 FPS threshold. Players who prefer a larger safety margin can choose High at 96.8 FPS or Medium at 115.6 FPS, but the data confirms that Ultra is technically playable at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is also the best option, averaging 85.4 FPS. This leaves ample headroom above the 60 FPS threshold, making it a safe and visually superior choice. Even the most demanding setting at 1080p does not push this combo close to its limits, as evidenced by the 219 FPS result on Low.

How This Combo Ranks

The Intel Core i5-13400F and Intel Arc B580 combination holds a rank of 2832 out of 3718 tested hardware combinations in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the lower 24% of all configurations, which might initially seem disappointing. However, the rank is heavily influenced by the fact that the database includes many high-end and enthusiast-grade combinations, such as flagship CPUs paired with top-tier GPUs. The actual measured performance in this game tells a different story: the combo delivers playable frame rates at every resolution except 4K Ultra, and it handles 1080p and 1440p with significant headroom.

The rank of 2832 also reflects the GPU's modest standing relative to all GPUs, as the Arc B580 sits in the 68th percentile. The CPU, by contrast, is in the 77th percentile, meaning the processor is relatively stronger than the graphics card. In Undisputed, this imbalance does not create a problem, because the game's demands are well within the capabilities of both components. The data shows that the Arc B580's nearest rivals include the RTX 3080, a card that would typically rank much higher in overall gaming performance, yet in this specific title the differences are negligible. Consequently, while the combo's rank is middling, its practical performance in Undisputed is competitive with systems that occupy far higher positions in the overall ranking, making this an effective pairing for players targeting 1080p or 1440p gameplay.
