GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture using a 5 nm process from TSMC, with the BMG-G21 chip at its core. The GPU operates at a fixed base and boost clock of 2500 MHz, with memory running at 2375 MHz, translating to 19 Gbps effective. The 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus provides 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a critical specification for a game like Undisputed that renders detailed character models and arenas. The GPU's 2304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 80 ROPs deliver a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 11.52 TFLOPS.

The data shows the GPU's capability scales strongly with resolution. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 195 FPS, but this is not a GPU-bound scenario. The Arc B570's peak performance is better demonstrated at higher settings. At 1440p High, the average is 84 FPS, while at 4K High it drops to 53 FPS. This scaling pattern indicates the GPU is handling the increased pixel count efficiently, with the 4K High result showing a 37% reduction from the 1440p High figure. The GPU's relative standing is confirmed by its 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20556. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, scores 20534, a difference of just 0.1%, showing the Arc B570 is competitive with mobile-class discrete GPUs from the previous generation.

The measured data for Undisputed shows the GPU's memory bandwidth becomes a factor at 4K. The 380.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for the 10 GB frame buffer, but the results indicate a hard ceiling around 89 FPS at 4K Low. The step from 4K Low to 4K Medium costs 25 FPS, and the step to 4K High costs another 11 FPS, illustrating how the GPU's compute resources are taxed by the game's lighting and physics simulations. The Ultra preset at 4K, with an average of 34 FPS, falls below the playable threshold, confirming the GPU is the primary limiter at this extreme resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, on the AMD Socket AM4 platform. It runs at a base clock of 3.60 GHz with a boost clock of 4.20 GHz, backed by a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3, which is shared across the six cores. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration, providing 51.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The CPU's benchmark results show a single-thread score of 836 in 3DMark and a multi-thread score of 5411, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16429.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is most evident at lower resolutions and settings. The 1080p Low result of 195 FPS is a strong indicator that the Ryzen 5 5500 is keeping up with the GPU's output, but it is also a sign that the CPU is nearing its limit. The CPU's 73rd percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 19593, places it just 0.1% behind the AMD Ryzen AI 5 430 and 0.4% behind the Intel Core i5-12500. This positioning suggests the Ryzen 5 5500 is a mid-tier performer, and its 6-core/12-thread configuration is adequate for a sports title like Undisputed, which may not heavily utilize more than a few threads.

The data reveals that the CPU's influence diminishes as resolution increases. At 1440p Low, the average is 141 FPS, and at 4K Low it is 89 FPS, both of which are high enough that the GPU is the bottleneck. However, the CPU's single-thread performance, measured at 836 in 3DMark and 2319 in Cinebench R23, is sufficient to avoid stutter in the game's AI and physics calculations. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1645 and 4-thread score of 3151 show the CPU scales well with added threads, which helps when the game spawns multiple fighters and crowd interactions. The CPU's 7 nm process node from TSMC and 10,700 million transistors are not directly relevant to game performance, but they do contribute to the power efficiency that allows the 65 W TDP to be maintained under load.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with the Intel Arc B570 ranks at position 2986 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the pairing in the 80th percentile of all combinations, indicating that it outperforms the majority of systems tested for this game. The rank is derived from the measured FPS data across all resolutions and settings, with the high scores at 1080p and 1440p contributing significantly to the overall position.

The rank reflects a balanced system. The CPU's 73rd percentile and the GPU's 65th percentile combine to produce a result that exceeds either component's individual standing. This suggests that the pairing is well-matched for this specific title, with neither component severely bottlenecking the other. The 3718 total combos include systems with much higher-end components, so being in the top 20% is a respectable showing for a mid-range CPU and a current-generation GPU. The rank also indicates that the system can handle the game's default presets effectively, with the Medium preset at 1440p producing 102 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS target. The combo's position is not the highest, but it is firmly in the upper quartile, making it a viable option for players who prioritize frame rate over maximum visual fidelity.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data points to the Medium preset as the optimal balance between visual quality and performance. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset produces an average of 141 FPS with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. At 2560x1440, the Medium preset yields 102 FPS with a minimum of 86 FPS, still maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. Even at 3840x2160, the Medium preset manages 64 FPS with a minimum of 55 FPS, which is playable but near the lower edge of the acceptable range.

The High preset is a viable alternative for players with 1080p or 1440p displays. At 1080p High, the average is 116 FPS, and at 1440p High it is 84 FPS. These are solid numbers, but the Medium preset offers a significant frame rate advantage with only a modest reduction in visual fidelity. The Low preset, while yielding the highest frame rates (195 FPS at 1080p), sacrifices too much visual quality for a game that relies on detailed character models and arena environments. The Ultra preset is not recommended for any resolution, as it produces 75 FPS at 1080p, 54 FPS at 1440p, and 34 FPS at 4K, with the latter two falling below the 60 FPS target.

For the best experience, the Medium preset at 1440p is the recommended configuration. It delivers 102 FPS average, which is 42 FPS higher than the High preset at the same resolution, and it avoids the frame rate dips below 60 FPS that occur at 4K Medium. Players with 1080p monitors can also use the Medium preset and benefit from the 141 FPS average, which ensures smooth motion for the game's fast-paced combat. The data clearly shows that Medium is the sweet spot for this combo.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates for this combo cover three resolutions and four settings levels, providing a comprehensive picture of performance. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 195 FPS. The Medium preset produces 141 FPS average, with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS. The High preset yields 116 FPS average. The Ultra preset drops to 75 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset achieves 141 FPS average. The Medium preset produces 102 FPS average, with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 117 FPS. The High preset yields 84 FPS average. The Ultra preset falls to 54 FPS average.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset delivers 89 FPS average. The Medium preset produces 64 FPS average, with a minimum of 55 FPS and a maximum of 74 FPS. The High preset yields 53 FPS average. The Ultra preset drops to 34 FPS average.

The data shows a consistent pattern: the Medium preset offers the only complete set of minimum and maximum frame rate data across all resolutions, indicating it is the most stable setting. The gap between Low and High at 1080p is 79 FPS, while at 1440p it is 57 FPS, and at 4K it is 36 FPS. This narrowing gap at higher resolutions confirms that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as pixel count increases.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the limiting component at each resolution. At the Low preset, moving from 1080p to 1440p results in a 54 FPS drop, from 195 to 141 FPS, a 28% reduction. Moving from 1440p to 4K results in a 52 FPS drop, from 141 to 89 FPS, a 37% reduction. This indicates that the GPU is handling the resolution increase relatively efficiently, with the CPU still providing enough headroom at 1080p Low.

At the Medium preset, the scaling is more pronounced. From 1080p to 1440p, the average drops from 141 to 102 FPS, a 28% reduction. From 1440p to 4K, the average drops from 102 to 64 FPS, a 37% reduction. The minimum frame rates also scale down, from 120 at 1080p to 86 at 1440p to 55 at 4K, showing that the GPU's memory bandwidth is being saturated at higher resolutions.

At the High preset, the scaling continues. From 1080p to 1440p, the average drops from 116 to 84 FPS, a 28% reduction. From 1440p to 4K, the average drops from 84 to 53 FPS, a 37% reduction. The consistency of these percentages across settings suggests that the GPU is the limiting component at all resolutions above 1080p Low. The CPU's influence is only visible at 1080p Low, where the 195 FPS result indicates the system is no longer GPU-bound.

The overall scaling pattern points to the Intel Arc B570 as the primary bottleneck for this combo in Undisputed. The Ryzen 5 5500 provides sufficient processing power to feed the GPU at 1080p, but as resolution increases, the GPU's compute and memory resources are strained. The 4K Ultra result of 34 FPS is the clearest indicator of this, as the GPU simply cannot keep up with the demands of the highest settings at this resolution. Players seeking higher frame rates at 4K would need to reduce settings to Low or Medium, where the combo can achieve 89 and 64 FPS respectively.
