Undisputed

Settings Recommendations

For the AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and Intel Arc B570 combination in Undisputed, the data shows a clear hierarchy across the four tested presets. At 1080p, the Medium preset delivers 141 FPS average with a minimum of 120 FPS and maximum of 162 FPS, providing a stable, high-refresh experience that stays comfortably above typical display refresh rates. The High preset at 1080p drops to 116 FPS average, still smooth but with less headroom, while Ultra falls to 75 FPS average — a significant step down that offers diminishing visual returns for the frame rate cost.

The Medium preset emerges as the optimal balance point. At 1440p, Medium maintains 102 FPS average with a 86 FPS minimum, keeping gameplay fluid on high-refresh monitors. At 4K, Medium drops to 64 FPS average with a 55 FPS floor, which remains playable for slower-paced sports titles. Low settings push substantially higher — 195 FPS at 1080p, 141 FPS at 1440p, and 89 FPS at 4K — but the visual compromise is unnecessary given that Medium holds above 60 FPS even at 4K.

Ultra settings are only viable at 1080p, where the 75 FPS average is acceptable but not ideal for competitive play. At 1440p, Ultra falls to 54 FPS, and at 4K it drops to 34 FPS, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay at those resolutions. The data suggests that players prioritizing frame rate consistency should select Medium, while those with 1080p displays and tolerance for occasional dips can consider High. The measured frame time variance, visible in the Medium preset's min-max spread of 120–162 FPS at 1080p, indicates that the Medium preset provides the most predictable performance envelope across all three resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 paired with the Intel Arc B570 achieves a combo rank of 2256 out of 2813 tested combinations in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the lower-middle portion of the database, meaning roughly 80% of tested CPU-GPU combos deliver higher frame rates in this title. The ranking reflects the combined limitations of a 2018-era six-core processor and a mid-range 2025 GPU when tasked with this boxing simulation.

The CPU itself sits at the 75th percentile among all processors in the database, indicating that the Ryzen 5 2600 performs better relative to its peers than the combo ranking suggests. Its average benchmark score of 21484 places it within 1.2% of the AMD EPYC 9454 (score 21223), 0.5% of the Intel Core i9-11900H (score 21367), and 0.2% of the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V (score 21440). The nearest rival, the Intel Xeon D-1746TER, scores 21635, which is 0.7% higher. These tight margins show the Ryzen 5 2600 holds its own in general processing tasks.

The GPU ranks at the 65th percentile among all graphics cards, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its closest competitors are the Intel Arc A750 at 20582 (0.1% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 20534 (0.1% lower), the AMD Radeon R9 M390X at 20662 (0.5% higher), and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20480 (0.4% lower). The Arc B570's compute capabilities are well within striking distance of these rivals, yet the combo's overall rank of 2256 suggests that game-specific optimization, not raw compute, limits performance in Undisputed.

The gap between the component-level percentiles (CPU at 75th, GPU at 65th) and the combo rank (bottom 20%) indicates that Undisputed stresses this pairing in ways that general benchmarks do not capture. The game's demands likely favor higher single-thread performance and different GPU characteristics than those measured in synthetic workloads.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 brings 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, delivering 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration proves sufficient for Undisputed across all tested settings and resolutions, as evidenced by the playable frame rates even at 4K Medium. The GPU's 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units provide the raw throughput needed for the game's rendering workload.

Clock behavior is notable: the Arc B570 runs at a flat 2500 MHz for both base and boost clocks, with memory at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). This fixed clock profile simplifies performance prediction — there is no boost variability to account for when analyzing frame rate consistency. The GPU's 11.52 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 23.04 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1) throughput place it firmly in the mid-range segment, consistent with its 65th percentile ranking.

The 18 ray tracing cores are present but Undisputed's measured data does not indicate ray tracing usage, so their impact on these results is negligible. The GPU's pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s become limiting factors at higher resolutions, which explains the steep frame rate drops when moving from 1440p to 4K. At 4K Ultra, the 34 FPS average suggests the GPU is fully saturated, while the CPU waits at idle. At 1080p Low, the 195 FPS average indicates the GPU has headroom, and the CPU becomes the primary limiter.

The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface provides adequate bandwidth for the 10 GB frame buffer, and the 150 W TDP with a 450 W suggested PSU indicates the card operates within a modest power envelope. The Arc B570's performance in Undisputed tracks closely with its synthetic benchmarks, showing no unusual driver overhead or architectural penalty specific to this title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured frame rates reveal a consistent scaling pattern across resolutions. At Medium settings, the averages progress from 141 FPS at 1080p to 102 FPS at 1440p to 64 FPS at 4K. This represents a 27.7% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 37.3% drop from 1440p to 4K. The total scaling from 1080p to 4K is a 54.6% reduction in frame rate, which is less severe than the 4x pixel count increase would suggest, indicating that the GPU is not purely pixel-bound.

High settings show a similar pattern: 116 FPS at 1080p, 84 FPS at 1440p, and 53 FPS at 4K. The percentage drops are 27.6% and 36.9% respectively, nearly identical to Medium. Low settings scale from 195 FPS to 141 FPS to 89 FPS, with drops of 27.7% and 36.9%. Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 75 FPS to 54 FPS to 34 FPS, with drops of 28.0% and 37.0%.

The uniformity of these scaling ratios across all four presets is striking. Regardless of whether the game runs at 195 FPS or 34 FPS, the relative penalty for resolution increases remains consistent. This suggests that the bottleneck shifts smoothly from CPU at low resolutions to GPU at high resolutions, with no sudden cliff or unexpected behavior.

At 1080p Low, the 195 FPS average indicates the CPU is nearing its limit for this game. The Ryzen 5 2600's six cores and twelve threads at 3.40 GHz base and 3.90 GHz boost clock provide sufficient processing power for the game's simulation, but the frame rate ceiling appears to be in the 200 FPS range. At 4K Ultra, the 34 FPS average shows the GPU's rendering pipeline is overwhelmed, with the 10 GB frame buffer and 160-bit memory bus unable to maintain higher throughput at extreme settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 2600 features six cores and twelve threads based on the Zen architecture, manufactured on a 12 nm process by GlobalFoundries. Its base clock of 3.40 GHz boosts to 3.90 GHz, with a 65 W TDP. The processor includes 96 KB L1 cache per core, 512 KB L2 per core, and 16 MB shared L3 cache. Memory support is dual-channel DDR4 with 46.9 GB/s bandwidth, connected via PCIe Gen 3 with 16 lanes.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role becomes evident at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU is not saturated. At 1080p Low, the 195 FPS average represents a practical ceiling imposed by the processor's single-thread and multi-thread capabilities. The CPU's synthetic benchmarks show a single-thread score of 2239 in Passmark and 1154 in Geekbench, with a multi-thread Passmark score of 13160. These scores are modest by modern standards but sufficient for a sports title.

The Ryzen 5 2600's general benchmark performance ranks at the 75th percentile among all CPUs, with an average score of 21484. This places it in the upper quartile of processors in the database, despite its 2018 release date. The processor's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 228V (21440, 0.2% lower), Intel Core i9-11900H (21367, 0.5% lower), Intel Xeon D-1746TER (21635, 0.7% higher), and AMD EPYC 9454 (21223, 1.2% lower). This clustering indicates the Ryzen 5 2600 remains competitive in general processing tasks.

The game's frame rates at 1440p and 4K show less CPU sensitivity, with the GPU becoming the dominant factor. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p at each preset is nearly identical (approximately 27-28%), suggesting the CPU maintains adequate frame pacing as resolution increases. The 12 threads provide sufficient parallelism for the game's physics and AI calculations, though the 16 MB L3 cache may limit performance in scenarios with large working sets.
