Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B570 pairing delivers a solid, if not spectacular, performance profile in Undisputed. The data shows a combination that is heavily influenced by resolution, with the CPU proving more than capable at lower settings while the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor as pixel count and graphical fidelity increase. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS data, contextualizes the hardware within its performance class, and offers practical guidance for optimizing the experience.

Resolution Scaling

The measured performance deltas across resolutions reveal a classic bottleneck shift. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 195 FPS, indicating a scenario where neither component is heavily taxed. However, the scaling from 1080p to 1440p at Low settings shows a 54 FPS drop to 141 FPS, and further scaling to 4K yields 89 FPS. This steep decline of over 54% from 1080p to 4K at Low settings strongly suggests the Intel Arc B570’s rendering throughput is the primary constraint at higher resolutions.

The trend becomes more pronounced when examining the High preset. The average frame rate falls from 116 FPS at 1920x1080 to 84 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 53 FPS at 3840x2160. While the 1080p to 1440p drop of 32 FPS is significant, the 1440p to 4K drop of 31 FPS highlights that the GPU is working progressively harder. The AMD Ryzen 5 3600, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, appears to have sufficient headroom at these settings, as the frame rate scaling is relatively consistent with the increase in pixel workload.

The most telling data point for determining the limiting component comes from the Ultra preset. At 1080p Ultra, the combo manages 75 FPS. Moving to 1440p Ultra drops this to 54 FPS, and at 4K Ultra, the average falls to just 34 FPS. The scaling here is less linear than at Low settings, with a 21 FPS drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 20 FPS drop from 1440p to 4K. This consistent degradation, even at a resolution where the CPU is less likely to be the bottleneck, confirms that the Intel Arc B570's compute and memory resources are the determining factor for high-fidelity gameplay.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is the definitive performance driver in this configuration for Undisputed. The GPU’s specifications, including 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, provide a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is sufficient for the game's demands, though the data suggests that at 4K Ultra, the combination of memory pressure and compute load limits the average frame rate to 34 FPS.

The GPU operates at a consistent 2500 MHz base and boost clock, which helps maintain predictable performance. Its 2304 shading units and 80 ROPs are responsible for the pixel output, and the measured frame rates reflect a card that is capable at 1080p but struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K with higher presets. The 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute power is a key indicator of its raw shader performance, and the benchmark results in Undisputed align with a GPU that sits in the 65th percentile overall.

The VRAM capacity of 10 GB is a notable asset. While the game's minimum and maximum frame rates are not fully specified for all presets, the available data for the Medium preset shows a minimum of 120 FPS at 1080p and 86 FPS at 1440p, suggesting that the 10 GB buffer is not a limiting factor at these settings. The GPU's performance relative to its rivals, such as the Intel Arc A750 (0.1% difference in average score), confirms that it is a solid mid-range option that can deliver high refresh rates at 1080p but requires settings adjustments for higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience for this combo is found at 1920x1080 with the High preset. This configuration yields an average of 116 FPS, which provides a fluid and responsive experience for a sports title. The Medium preset offers a higher average of 141 FPS, but the High preset likely provides a better visual balance without a significant performance penalty.

For players with 2560x1440 monitors, the Medium preset is the recommended choice. The data shows an average of 102 FPS with minimum and maximum frame rates of 86 and 117 FPS, respectively. This is a playable and smooth experience. Dropping to the High preset at this resolution results in an average of 84 FPS, which is also acceptable, but the Medium preset offers a more comfortable margin above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the trade-offs become more severe. The High preset produces an average of 53 FPS, which is borderline for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset, with an average of 64 FPS and a minimum of 55 FPS, is the best option for 4K if visual fidelity is less important than frame rate stability. The Low preset at 4K delivers 89 FPS, but the visual quality reduction is substantial. The Ultra preset should be avoided at all resolutions, as it yields the lowest frame rates (34 FPS at 4K, 54 FPS at 1440p, and 75 FPS at 1080p) and does not provide a compelling performance-to-quality ratio for this hardware.
