Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a highly playable experience in Undisputed, with the data showing strong average frame rates across most settings and resolutions. The pairing of a six-core, twelve-thread Zen 2 processor with Intel’s Xe2-HPG graphics card produces a balanced system where neither component consistently bottlenecks the other, though the performance ceiling at 4K Ultra reveals the GPU’s limits. This analysis breaks down the measured results, the role each component plays, and how this specific combo ranks against the broader field of tested configurations.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 brings six physical cores and twelve threads to the table, running at a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boosting up to 4.20 GHz. This Zen 2 architecture, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC, provides a solid foundation for Undisputed’s simulation and physics workloads. The processor’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth ensure that the game’s data-heavy boxing engine has enough headroom to feed the GPU without stalling.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 3600 scores 15,045 points in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 2,124 points in single-core. These scores place the CPU in the 76th percentile of all processors tested, indicating it performs better than roughly three-quarters of the field. The 3DMark results tell a similar story: 4,605 points with 16 threads and 696 points in single-thread testing. The processor’s nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-11400, scores 18,150 points, a negligible 0.1% difference, meaning the two chips are effectively interchangeable in most gaming scenarios.

For Undisputed, the CPU’s role is primarily about maintaining a consistent frame delivery rather than pushing extreme frame rates. The measured FPS data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo reaches 219.6 FPS, which suggests the CPU can handle the game’s logic at very high speeds when graphical load is minimal. However, the CPU’s single-thread score of 696 in 3DMark indicates that it is not a top-tier performer for lightly-threaded workloads, which is typical for a 2019-era processor. The boost clock of 4.20 GHz helps mitigate this, keeping the game’s main thread moving at a reasonable pace.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1080p, the combo shows remarkable versatility. Low settings produce an average of 219.6 FPS, Medium delivers 157.7 FPS, and High drops to 130.9 FPS. Ultra settings still manage a respectable 86.3 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a 133.3 FPS difference, indicating that the GPU is heavily tasked with each graphical upgrade at this resolution.

Moving to 1440p, the numbers remain strong but show the expected decline. Low settings average 156.7 FPS, Medium hits 113.6 FPS, and High reaches 96.7 FPS. Ultra dips to 59.1 FPS, which is just below the 60 FPS mark and suggests that players seeking a locked 60 FPS experience at 1440p should stick with High settings. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 97.6 FPS, a smaller drop than at 1080p, indicating that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor as resolution increases.

At 4K, the performance curve steepens significantly. Low settings still produce 102.8 FPS, which is highly playable, but Medium falls to 72.9 FPS and High to 60.9 FPS. Ultra settings plummet to 36.4 FPS, a figure that would feel choppy in a fast-paced sports title. The 66.4 FPS difference between Low and Ultra at 4K confirms that the Arc B580’s 12 GB of VRAM and 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth are sufficient for the game’s textures, but the GPU’s raw compute power is stretched thin at the highest settings.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Arc B580 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture with a BMG-G21 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It operates at a base and boost clock of 2670 MHz, with memory running at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. With 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, the B580 has a theoretical FP32 performance of 13.67 TFLOPS.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Arc B580 scores 15,748 in Passmark G3D and 3,068 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. It sits in the 66th percentile of all GPUs, which is lower than the CPU’s 76th percentile ranking. This suggests that the GPU is the weaker link in this pairing, and the measured FPS data supports this conclusion. The GPU’s nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 760M with a score of 22,999 (0.1% higher) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 with a score of 23,181 (0.7% higher), placing the B580 in a competitive mid-range bracket.

For Undisputed, the GPU’s 12 GB of VRAM is more than adequate, as the game’s texture demands are unlikely to exceed this capacity even at 4K Ultra. The bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s ensures that texture streaming remains smooth, which is critical in a game with close-up character models. The GPU’s pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s and texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s allow it to handle the game’s lighting and shadow effects at lower settings without issue, but the 36.4 FPS at 4K Ultra indicates that the shading units are overwhelmed by the combined load of high-resolution rendering and advanced effects.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The FPS scaling across resolutions provides a clear picture of where the bottleneck lies. At High settings, the combo delivers 130.9 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 96.7 FPS at 1440p (a 26.1% decrease) and further to 60.9 FPS at 4K (a 53.5% decrease from 1080p). This pattern is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario, where the CPU has enough headroom to keep up with the GPU’s rendering demands until the resolution becomes the primary constraint.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced. The 1080p result of 219.6 FPS falls to 156.7 FPS at 1440p (a 28.6% drop) and then to 102.8 FPS at 4K (a 53.2% drop from 1080p). The fact that the FPS remains above 100 at 4K Low suggests that the CPU is not a limiting factor at this setting, as the GPU is able to process the reduced graphical load with relative ease.

The Ultra settings tell a different story. At 1080p, the combo achieves 86.3 FPS, which is still playable, but 1440p drops to 59.1 FPS and 4K plummets to 36.4 FPS. This 49.9 FPS difference between 1080p and 4K Ultra is the largest of all settings, confirming that the Arc B580’s compute resources are the primary constraint at the highest quality preset. The CPU’s 3DMark 16-thread score of 4,605 is sufficient to feed the GPU even at 4K Ultra, but the GPU simply lacks the raw throughput to maintain a high frame rate under maximum load.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel Arc B580 combination ranks 1,240th out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the bottom 21.5% of all configurations. This ranking might seem low given the playable frame rates observed, but it reflects the fact that the benchmark database includes many high-end combinations with significantly more expensive CPUs and GPUs. The rank is a relative measure against all tested combos, not an absolute indicator of playability.

In the context of the components’ individual percentile rankings, the combo’s overall rank is dragged down by the GPU’s 66th percentile standing. The CPU’s 76th percentile ranking is above average, but the GPU’s mid-range position means that the combo will not compete with systems featuring higher-tier graphics cards. The nearest rival GPUs, such as the RTX 4060, score only 0.7% higher in average benchmarks, suggesting that the B580 is closely matched with its direct competitors, but the combo’s rank reflects the wider field of tested hardware.

The measured FPS data shows that this combo is well-suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming at most settings, with only 4K Ultra presenting a significant challenge. Players who prioritize frame rate over visual fidelity will find the combo capable of exceeding 100 FPS at 1080p and 1440p with adjusted settings. For those seeking a consistent 60 FPS experience, the High preset at 1440p or 4K offers the best balance, while the Ultra preset is best reserved for screenshots or slow-paced moments rather than competitive play. The combo’s rank of 1,240 out of 1,580 indicates that while it is not a top-tier performer, it delivers a solid, no-frills experience for the majority of Undisputed players.
