Undisputed

# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D + Intel Arc B580

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D paired with the Intel Arc B580 produces a wide spread of results across Undisputed’s four preset levels and three resolutions, with the data showing a system that scales predictably but with notable frame-rate cliffs at the highest settings. This combination ranks 2117th out of 2813 tested combos for this game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database, yet the measured frames per second tell a more nuanced story about where the bottleneck shifts between CPU and GPU.

Resolution Scaling

The frame-rate drop from 1080p to 4K is steep but not uniform across settings, revealing how the Arc B580 becomes the limiting factor as pixel count rises. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 221 at 1920x1080 to 160 at 2560x1440, a reduction of 61 frames, and then to 101 at 3840x2160, another 59-frame drop. This linear decline suggests the GPU is fully engaged even at Low, with each resolution step costing roughly the same absolute performance. The picture changes at High settings, where the averages go from 132 at 1080p to 95 at 1440p (a 37-frame loss) and then to 60 at 4K (a 35-frame loss). The proportional drop from 1440p to 4K is larger here — about 37% — compared to the Low preset’s 37% drop over the same step, indicating that High settings amplify the GPU load more aggressively as resolution grows.

At Medium settings, the measured data includes minimum and maximum frames per second, which adds depth to the scaling analysis. The average FPS at 1080p Medium is 159, dropping to 115 at 1440p and then to 73 at 4K. The minimum FPS at 1440p Medium is 98, while at 4K Medium it falls to 62, and the maximum values go from 132 at 1440p to 84 at 4K. This tighter band at 4K — a spread of 22 frames between min and max — suggests the GPU is more consistently saturated at higher resolutions, whereas at 1440p the 34-frame spread hints at occasional CPU or driver overhead breaking through. Ultra settings show the most dramatic scaling: 85 FPS at 1080p, 61 at 1440p, and just 39 at 4K. The 1080p-to-1440p drop of 24 frames is smaller than the 1440p-to-4K drop of 22 frames, but the percentage loss at the 4K step (36%) is the largest of any preset, confirming that Ultra at 4K pushes the Arc B580 past its comfortable range.

The limiting component shifts clearly with resolution. At 1080p, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D’s 6 cores and 12 threads with a 3.00 GHz base and 4.00 GHz boost clock are likely keeping pace with the GPU, but the data does not isolate CPU-bound scenarios. At 4K, the GPU’s 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus with 456.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes the dominant factor, as evidenced by the halving of frame rates from Low to Ultra at that resolution. The overall pattern shows a system that delivers smooth playable frame rates up to 1440p on most presets, but 4K requires dropping to Low or Medium to stay above 60 FPS.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580, built on the Xe2-HPG architecture with the BMG-G21 chip, runs at a fixed base and boost clock of 2670 MHz, which is unusual in that there is no clock variation between the two states. This constant clock speed simplifies performance analysis: the GPU’s output is directly tied to its 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. The 12 GB GDDR6 memory operates at 2375 MHz with 19 Gbps effective speed, delivering 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth across the 192-bit bus. For Undisputed, a sports title that likely benefits from consistent frame pacing, the fixed clocks mean the GPU does not throttle up or down under load, which could contribute to the stable minimum FPS readings seen at Medium settings.

The benchmark scores for the Arc B580 place it in the 68th percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23021. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP with an average score of 23061 (a delta of -0.2%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 at 22895 (a delta of 0.6%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 at 23172 (a delta of -0.7%). These deltas are all within one percent, meaning the Arc B580’s raw compute is effectively on par with a much older RX 580 variant and a previous-generation RTX 2080, despite being a newer architecture. In Undisputed specifically, the GPU’s 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 27.34 TFLOPS of FP16 (2:1) appear sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, but the 4K Ultra result of 39 FPS suggests the 80 ROPs and 213.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are stretched thin at that resolution.

The VRAM capacity of 12 GB is ample for this game at any of the tested settings, but the bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s becomes a limiting factor as resolution increases. The data shows that at 4K, even Low settings yield 101 FPS, which is respectable but far from the 221 FPS seen at 1080p Low. This 120-frame difference cannot be explained by VRAM capacity alone; rather, it points to the GPU’s memory subsystem and shading throughput being the bottleneck. The Arc B580’s PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while narrower than the x16 lanes some rivals use, does not appear to cause a measurable issue in this game, as the frame rates scale consistently with resolution rather than showing erratic drops.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2117 out of 2813 places this pairing in the 25th percentile of all tested combinations for Undisputed, meaning roughly three out of four other combos deliver higher average frame rates. This low ranking is somewhat surprising given the individual components’ benchmark scores: the CPU sits in the 85th percentile of all processors, and the GPU in the 68th percentile. The discrepancy suggests that Undisputed’s performance profile does not favor this specific pairing, possibly due to the game’s reliance on single-thread performance or the GPU’s driver overhead at certain settings.

Looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 5500X3D’s average benchmark score of 37018 is nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F at 36945 (delta of 0.2%), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at 37093 (delta of -0.2%), and the Intel Core i9-12900T at 37112 (delta of -0.3%). These tiny deltas mean the CPU is not a differentiator in this combo’s ranking. Similarly, the GPU’s nearest rivals are all within one percent of its average score, so the Arc B580 is not an outlier on the low end either. The combination of a mid-pack GPU and a high-percentile CPU should theoretically rank higher, but the 2117th position indicates that other combos with similar or lower component scores achieve better frame rates in Undisputed, likely due to game-specific optimizations or driver maturity.

The data does not include a percentile rank for the combo itself, but the raw rank out of 2813 is direct: this is a below-average pairing for this title. However, the measured FPS at 1080p Medium (159) and 1440p High (95) are solid numbers that many users would consider playable, so the ranking reflects relative performance against all combos, not absolute inadequacy. The gap between the combo’s rank and the component percentiles suggests that Undisputed’s engine rewards other hardware configurations more heavily, perhaps those with higher memory bandwidth or larger L3 caches.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the data shows a full range of results across four presets. Low settings deliver an average of 221 FPS, which is the highest measured value in the entire dataset. Medium settings produce 159 FPS average, with a minimum of 135 and a maximum of 183, indicating a 48-frame spread that suggests some variability in scene complexity. High settings drop to 132 FPS average, a 27-frame reduction from Medium, which is a larger step than the 62-frame drop from Low to Medium. Ultra settings bring the average down to 85 FPS, a 47-frame loss from High, making Ultra at 1080p the most demanding preset relative to its predecessor. This pattern shows that each preset level imposes a different cost, with the jump from High to Ultra being particularly steep.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 160 FPS on Low, 115 FPS on Medium (with min 98 and max 132), 95 FPS on High, and 61 FPS on Ultra. The Medium preset’s minimum of 98 FPS is still above 60, so even the lowest recorded frame rate at this resolution is smooth. The High preset’s 95 FPS average is a 65-frame drop from Low, while Ultra at 61 FPS is just above the 60 FPS threshold, meaning the minimum could dip below that in more demanding scenes, though no min FPS is provided for Ultra. The transition from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 27-29% of the frame rate across all presets, which is a consistent scaling factor.

At 3840x2160, the data becomes more constrained. Low settings average 101 FPS, Medium averages 73 FPS (with min 62 and max 84), High averages 60 FPS, and Ultra averages 39 FPS. The Medium preset’s minimum of 62 FPS is barely above the 60 FPS target, while the maximum of 84 FPS shows that some scenes run much faster. High at 60 FPS is exactly at the target but lacks any min or max data, so it could dip below 60 in practice. Ultra at 39 FPS is clearly unplayable for smooth motion, and even the 73 FPS at Medium might stutter during intense gameplay moments. The 4K results show that this combo can handle the game at Low or Medium settings, but High is marginal and Ultra is not viable.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured rows, the best experience balances frame rate stability with visual quality. At 1920x1080, High settings at 132 FPS average provide a strong experience with no min FPS data to suggest dips, and the jump to Ultra at 85 FPS is not worth the 47-frame loss for most users. Medium at 159 FPS is also excellent, but the 27-frame difference between Medium and High makes High the better choice for those wanting more detail without sacrificing smoothness. The data shows that 1080p High is the sweet spot: it delivers well above 60 FPS and likely maintains that in most scenes, given the 132 average.

At 2560x1440, High at 95 FPS average is the recommended preset, as it stays comfortably above 60 FPS while offering better visuals than Medium’s 115 FPS (which is also fine but less detailed). Ultra at 61 FPS is borderline; the lack of min FPS data means it could dip below 60, so High is safer. Medium at 115 FPS with a min of 98 FPS is also a solid choice for those who prefer guaranteed headroom, but High provides better image quality at a still-playable frame rate.

At 3840x2160, the only viable option is Low at 101 FPS average, which delivers smooth performance but sacrifices most visual effects. Medium at 73 FPS with a min of 62 FPS is playable but risks occasional dips below the 60 FPS threshold, while High at 60 FPS is too marginal and Ultra at 39 FPS is not recommended. For 4K users, Low is the clear choice, and the 101 FPS average ensures a consistently smooth experience even in demanding scenes. The data does not support any preset above Medium at 4K for this combo.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, part of the 5000 series on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed Vermeer), provides 6 cores and 12 threads with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The 96 MB of shared L3 cache is the standout feature, far exceeding the 512 KB per-core L2 and 64 KB per-core L1 caches. This large cache likely helps in games that access repeated data, but the CPU’s benchmark scores show it is not a top-tier performer: its passmark_single_thread score of 2941 and passmark_multithread score of 20363 place it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 37018. The nearest rivals are all within 0.3% of this score, meaning the 5500X3D is not meaningfully faster or slower than its closest competitors.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role appears secondary to the GPU, especially at higher resolutions where the frame rates drop significantly regardless of the CPU’s compute power. At 1080p Low, the 221 FPS average suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at very high frame rates, but at 4K Ultra the 39 FPS result is clearly GPU-limited. The CPU’s 105 W TDP and dual-channel DDR4 memory support (with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth) are adequate for this game, but the data does not show any CPU-specific bottleneck indicators like frame rate stalls or inconsistent minimums. The passmark_physics score of 2282 and passmark_find_prime_numbers score of 170 are modest, but these are not gaming-specific metrics.

The CPU’s release date of 2025-06-04 and active production status indicate it is a recent addition to the market, yet its performance is on par with the older Ryzen 5 5600F. The fixed 3.00 GHz base clock and 4.00 GHz boost clock, combined with the large L3 cache, suggest the CPU is designed for gaming workloads, but the combo’s 2117th rank out of 2813 implies that other CPUs in this performance class pair better with the Arc B580 in Undisputed. The data does not show any CPU-bound scenarios where the 5500X3D limits the GPU, so the CPU is likely not the weak link in this combo; rather, the game’s engine may favor different cache or thread configurations.
