Its closest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1.3% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce 800M (1.5% faster), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM (2.5% faster), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 (2.7% faster), indicating it is positioned at the very entry level of graphics performance.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 5600 a bottleneck for this game?

A: No, the CPU is not the limiting factor. The Ryzen 5 5600's average benchmark score of 20468 puts it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.5% of its score. The measured FPS drops correlate with GPU load, not CPU capability, confirming the graphics solution is the primary constraint.

Q: What is the difference between Low and Ultra settings at 1080p?

A: At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 127 FPS, while the Ultra preset averages only 49 FPS. This represents a performance drop of approximately 61% when moving from the lowest to the highest quality settings, highlighting the GPU's sensitivity to graphical load.

Q: Does the combo maintain 60 FPS at 1440p?

A: Only on the Low preset, where the average is 92 FPS. The Medium preset averages 66 FPS with a minimum of 56 FPS, meaning it can dip below the 60 FPS threshold. High and Ultra averages of 55 FPS and 35 FPS respectively fall short of a consistent 60 FPS experience.

Q: Is the Arc B390 a dedicated graphics card?

A: The data indicates it is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a slot width of "IGP" and a bus interface of "IGP." Its memory is also listed as "System Shared," meaning it relies on system RAM rather than dedicated VRAM.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear hierarchy of presets for this combo. For the best balance of visual quality and playability, the Medium preset is the recommended starting point, but only at 1920x1080. At this resolution, Medium delivers an average of 91 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS, providing a solid margin above the 60 FPS target while offering improved visuals over the Low preset.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is borderline. The average is 66 FPS, but the minimum of 56 FPS means the experience will have noticeable stutter during intense gameplay moments. For a strictly consistent frame rate at this resolution, the Low preset is the safer choice, yielding an average of 92 FPS. The High preset at 1440p (55 FPS average) is not recommended for competitive play but may be acceptable for those prioritizing visuals over smoothness.

The 3840x2160 resolution is largely impractical for this pairing. Even the Low preset only achieves an average of 58 FPS, which dips below the standard target. Ultra at 4K is the worst-performing combination in the entire dataset, averaging just 22 FPS. For a responsive experience, users should avoid 4K entirely or accept the Low preset with its sub-60 FPS performance. The data suggests that the best overall experience is the Medium preset at 1920x1080, as it offers the highest quality settings that still maintain a comfortable performance buffer.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is the dominant factor in this combo's Undisputed performance. Its benchmark data shows a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1482, which places it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs. This is an exceptionally low ranking, and the nearest rivals are all legacy NVIDIA parts (GT 520MX, 800M, GT 625 OEM, GT 710), underscoring its entry-level positioning.

The GPU's architecture is Xe3-LPG on a 3 nm process, with a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost clock of 2500 MHz. It features 1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 24 ROPs, along with 12 ray tracing cores. The pixel rate is 60.00 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance of 7.680 TFLOPS. The TDP is 80 W, and the memory type is "System Shared" with bandwidth listed as "System Dependent." This means the GPU does not have its own dedicated VRAM, instead borrowing from the system's DDR4 memory, which is a significant limitation for a modern title like Undisputed.

The measured FPS data directly reflects this hardware profile. At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmed, with the Ultra preset dropping to 22 FPS. Moving to 1920x1080, the Low preset hits 127 FPS, but the Ultra preset still only manages 49 FPS. This performance scaling suggests that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are insufficient for high-resolution texture loads and effects. The 24 ROPs are a particularly low count, which limits pixel throughput at higher resolutions. While the boost clock of 2500 MHz is respectable, the overall architecture is simply not designed for demanding workloads, making it the clear bottleneck in this pairing.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + Intel Arc B390 combination across all resolutions and settings is as follows:

3840x2160 (4K):

• Ultra: 22 FPS average
• High: 35 FPS average
• Medium: 42 FPS average (minimum 36, maximum 48)
• Low: 58 FPS average

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Ultra: 35 FPS average
• High: 55 FPS average
• Medium: 66 FPS average (minimum 56, maximum 76)
• Low: 92 FPS average

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Ultra: 49 FPS average
• High: 76 FPS average
• Medium: 91 FPS average (minimum 78, maximum 105)
• Low: 127 FPS average

The data reveals a consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution and settings increase. At 1080p, the combo is capable of exceeding 120 FPS only on the Low preset. The Medium preset at 1080p is the sweet spot, offering a 91 FPS average with a minimum of 78 FPS, which is just above the 75 FPS threshold for a high-refresh experience. The High preset at 1080p drops to 76 FPS, which is still playable but with less headroom.

At 1440p, the performance cliff becomes more apparent. The Low preset maintains a strong 92 FPS, but the Medium preset's minimum of 56 FPS indicates that the GPU is struggling to maintain a stable frame time. The High and Ultra presets at 1440p fall below 60 FPS, making them unsuitable for fast-paced gameplay. At 4K, the combo is effectively non-functional for this game, with all presets except Low failing to reach 60 FPS, and Ultra rendering at a slideshow-like 22 FPS. The minimum FPS data points for Medium settings at all resolutions show the variance: 36 FPS at 4K, 56 FPS at 1440p, and 78 FPS at 1080p, demonstrating that the GPU's performance is not only low but also inconsistent under load.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + Intel Arc B390 combination ranks 2491st out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 11.5% of all configurations, indicating that the vast majority of other hardware pairings deliver better performance in this game.

This low ranking is almost entirely attributable to the GPU. The Arc B390's 9th percentile standing among all GPUs is the primary driver of the combo's poor showing. In contrast, the Ryzen 5 5600's 74th percentile CPU ranking is a relatively strong asset. The disparity between the CPU's high percentile and the GPU's low percentile creates a severe imbalance, where the graphics solution cannot keep pace with the processing capability.

The combo's rank of 2491 out of 2813 means it is not competitive for even mid-range play. For context, a combo in the top half of the rankings would likely deliver a much smoother experience at higher settings. This pairing is best suited for low-resolution, low-settings gaming, and even then, it only marginally achieves acceptable frame rates. The data suggests that any user seeking a better experience in Undisputed would need to prioritize a more powerful GPU over a CPU upgrade, as the current CPU is not the limiting factor.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 provides a solid foundation for this combo, though its capabilities are largely underutilized due to the GPU bottleneck. The CPU is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (codenamed "Vermeer") on a 7 nm process. It has a base clock of 3.50 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB of L3 cache.

Its benchmark scores are robust: a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 18309 and a single-core score of 2584, with a Geekbench multi-core score of 9158 and a single-core score of 1936. The average benchmark score of 20468 places it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are all within 0.5% of its performance: the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V (0.1% faster), AMD Ryzen 5 8500G (0.2% faster), AMD EPYC 9454P (0.2% faster), and AMD EPYC 7713 (0.5% faster). This indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600 is a well-balanced mid-range CPU that should not struggle with the processing demands of a sports title like Undisputed.

The CPU's 12 threads and 32 MB of L3 cache are more than sufficient for the game's physics and AI calculations. The memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, while modest by modern standards, is not the primary constraint in this pairing. The fact that the measured FPS drops significantly when moving from Low to Ultra settings—while the CPU's workload remains relatively constant—confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor. The CPU is essentially idle waiting for the GPU to render frames, meaning its strong 74th percentile ranking is wasted in this configuration. For a better balance, the Arc B390 would need to be paired with a much weaker CPU, or the system would benefit from a GPU upgrade to fully leverage the Ryzen 5 5600's capabilities.
