Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a playable but demanding 4K experience in Undisputed, with frame rates that depend heavily on the chosen preset. At 3840x2160, the combo averages 59.5 FPS on High, which is just below the 60 FPS threshold, but drops to 42.1 FPS on Ultra. This indicates that the Ultra preset is too heavy for this pairing at 4K, while High offers a near-ideal balance for a smooth boxing match.

Resolution Scaling

The performance gap between 1080p and 4K is substantial, revealing where the graphics card becomes the primary bottleneck. At 1920x1080, the combo produces 218.7 FPS on Low, but this falls to 100.8 FPS at 3840x2160 on the same settings—a drop of more than half. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is particularly steep: on High settings, 2560x1440 yields 97.1 FPS, while 3840x2160 drops to 59.5 FPS. This 37.6 FPS penalty suggests that the Arc B580’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are being stressed at the higher resolution, but the chip still manages to keep the game playable.

The pattern holds across all presets. On Medium, 1440p delivers 111.9 FPS, but 4K reduces that to 71.5 FPS. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling loss: 83 FPS at 1080p falls to 63.6 FPS at 1440p, then plunges to 42.1 FPS at 4K. The data shows that as resolution increases, the GPU’s 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance becomes the limiting factor, with the CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads rarely capping the frame rate. The takeaway is clear: 1080p and 1440p are where this combo shines, while 4K requires dropping to High or Medium to stay fluid.

How This Combo Ranks

In the full database of tested combinations, this pairing ranks 1247 out of 1580 combos for Undisputed. That places it in the lower-middle tier of the field, indicating that while it is not a top-tier setup, it is far from the bottom. The rank reflects a balance where the CPU’s 79th percentile standing among all processors and the GPU’s 66th percentile among all graphics cards combine to produce mid-pack results. The CPU’s average benchmark score of 20875 sits nearly identical to its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12500, which scores 20897 with a deltaPct of -0.1%, meaning the Ryzen 5 5500 is essentially on par with that chip. Similarly, the GPU’s average score of 23021 is 0.7% below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, which scores 23181, showing the Arc B580 is competitive with that mainstream card.

This rank suggests that for Undisputed, the combo is adequate for 1080p and 1440p gaming but will struggle to compete with higher-end pairings at 4K. The data indicates that users seeking top-tier performance would need to look at combos ranked higher, but for a balanced mid-range system, this setup delivers respectable results without being exceptional.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is the driving force behind this game’s frame rates, and its specifications explain the measured results. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This is a generous amount of VRAM for a sports title, and the memory capacity is unlikely to be a limiting factor even at 4K. The card’s base and boost clocks are identical at 2670 MHz, with memory running at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). This clock behavior is consistent with the stable performance seen across resolutions.

The GPU’s compute capabilities include 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, with a pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s. These figures support the frame rates observed: at 1080p Low, the card produces 218.7 FPS, which is well within its rendering capacity. The FP32 performance of 13.67 TFLOPS is moderate, and the data shows that at 4K Ultra, the card’s limits are reached, as evidenced by the 42.1 FPS result. The 20 ray tracing cores are present but are not a factor in Undisputed’s traditional rasterized rendering, so the performance is purely a function of raw pixel throughput and memory bandwidth.

The GPU’s 66th percentile ranking among all GPUs places it above the AMD Radeon 760M and NVIDIA P106-100, but 0.7% behind the RTX 4060. This close grouping means the Arc B580 is a solid mid-range option, but its 190 W TDP and dual-slot design are worth noting for system planning.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS rows, the best experience is found at 1080p or 1440p with High settings. At 1920x1080, High delivers 128.4 FPS, which is smooth and well above the threshold for competitive play. At 2560x1440, High yields 97.1 FPS, still excellent for a sports title. The Medium preset offers even higher frame rates—155.4 FPS at 1080p and 111.9 FPS at 1440p—but the visual fidelity trade-off is minimal for a game like Undisputed, where character models and ring detail matter more than particle effects.

For 4K, the recommendation is to use High settings, which produce 59.5 FPS. This is playable, though not ideal for a fast-paced boxing sim where smooth animations are critical. Dropping to Medium at 4K gives 71.5 FPS, which is a safer choice for maintaining a consistent frame rate. The Ultra preset should be avoided at all resolutions above 1080p: it yields only 83 FPS at 1080p and falls to 63.6 FPS at 1440p, making it the least efficient option. The data clearly shows that High is the sweet spot for this combo, balancing visual quality with performance across all tested resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo produces 218.7 FPS on Low, 155.4 FPS on Medium, 128.4 FPS on High, and 83 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 135.7 FPS, illustrating the strong influence of settings on this pairing. At 2560x1440, the numbers are 159 FPS on Low, 111.9 FPS on Medium, 97.1 FPS on High, and 63.6 FPS on Ultra. The 1440p results show a similar pattern, with Low being nearly twice as fast as Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are 100.8 FPS on Low, 71.5 FPS on Medium, 59.5 FPS on High, and 42.1 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest measured value, and even Low at 4K fails to hit the 120 FPS mark that is easily achieved at 1080p. The progression across resolutions is consistent: each step from 1080p to 1440p to 4K reduces frame rates by roughly 30-40% at the same settings, confirming that resolution is the dominant factor in performance scaling for this game.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 plays a supporting role in this combo, and its specifications are sufficient for Undisputed’s demands. The CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. It is built on the Zen 3 architecture using a 7 nm process, with 16 MB of L3 cache. The 3DMark scores show a single-thread score of 836 and a max-thread score of 5411, indicating that the CPU’s single-core performance is modest but adequate for a game that likely relies on a few primary threads for simulation and AI.

The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 16429 and single-core score of 2319 place the CPU in the 79th percentile of all processors, meaning it outperforms the majority of CPUs but is not a high-end part. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-12500, scores 20897 in the average benchmark, which is only 0.1% higher than the Ryzen’s 20875, showing they are functionally equivalent in general compute tasks. The CPU’s 65 W TDP is low, and its dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth is not a bottleneck for this game.

The benchmark results indicate that the CPU is not the limiting factor in this combo. At 1080p Low, the GPU produces 218.7 FPS, and even at this high frame rate, the CPU’s 12 threads are sufficient to keep up. The data shows no evidence of CPU capping, as frame rates scale predictably with resolution and settings, which is a hallmark of a GPU-bound scenario. For Undisputed, the Ryzen 5 5500 provides ample processing power, and the combo’s overall rank of 1247 out of 1580 reflects that the GPU is the more significant contributor to performance.
