Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F paired with the Intel Arc B570 presents a balanced mid-range configuration for Undisputed, a sports title that scales predictably with both resolution and graphical presets. Measured data shows this combo is capable of delivering smooth gameplay across most settings, though the most demanding Ultra preset at 4K pushes the hardware to its limits. This analysis breaks down the measured frame rates to determine the optimal configuration and what the data reveals about the underlying hardware.

Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data clearly indicates that Medium is the sweet spot for this hardware combination across all tested resolutions. At 1080p, Medium yields an average of 141 FPS, which is a substantial 65 FPS higher than High settings. More importantly, the Medium preset provides a minimum FPS of 120, ensuring consistent frame pacing without drops below the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 1080p still delivers a respectable 116 FPS average, but the lack of a reported minimum FPS suggests potential variance that the Medium preset avoids with its documented 120 FPS floor.

At 1440p, the recommendation shifts more decisively toward Medium. The average FPS drops from 141 at 1080p to 102 at 1440p, but the minimum FPS remains solid at 86. This is still well above the 60 FPS standard for competitive play, and the 117 FPS maximum indicates headroom for smoother moments. High at 1440p drops to an 84 FPS average, which is playable but offers less margin for error during intense gameplay sequences. Low at 1440p hits 141 FPS, but the visual compromise is unnecessary given the Medium preset's performance.

For 4K, Medium becomes the only viable preset for a consistent experience. The 64 FPS average with a 55 FPS minimum is tight but playable, provided the user accepts that frame rates will hover near the lower end of the acceptable range. High at 4K drops to 53 FPS, which introduces noticeable stutter during fast-paced boxing action. Low at 4K reaches 89 FPS, but this requires significant visual sacrifices that undermine the purpose of running at 4K resolution.

Ultra settings are not recommended at any resolution. At 1080p, Ultra yields 75 FPS, which is acceptable but 66 FPS lower than Medium. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 54 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 34 FPS, making the preset unplayable at higher resolutions. The performance gap between Medium and Ultra is substantial, indicating that the Ultra preset includes graphical features that disproportionately tax the GPU without a proportional visual benefit in this title.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570's memory configuration plays a critical role in Undisputed's performance characteristics. The GPU features 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, providing 380.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory subsystem appears sufficient for the game's requirements, as the measured frame rates show consistent scaling rather than sudden drops that would indicate memory capacity or bandwidth bottlenecks. The GPU's 2304 shading units and 144 texture mapping units provide the raw compute necessary for the game's rendering workload.

Clock speeds for the Arc B570 are fixed at 2500 MHz for both base and boost, which simplifies performance predictions. The GPU's 11.52 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 200.0 GPixel/s pixel rate are the primary drivers of the frame rates observed. The data shows that the GPU handles the transition from Low to Medium settings gracefully at all resolutions, with the average FPS dropping by roughly 30% from Low to Medium at each resolution. This suggests that Medium settings add moderate shader complexity that the GPU can absorb without catastrophic performance loss.

The GPU's 18 ray tracing cores and 80 ROPs contribute to the Ultra preset's performance penalty. The 34 FPS average at 4K Ultra versus 64 FPS at Medium indicates that Ultra settings likely enable ray-traced effects or high-complexity shading that the Arc B570's architecture struggles to process at higher resolutions. The GPU's 65th percentile ranking among all GPUs, based on its 14195 Passmark G3D score, positions it as a mid-range part that excels at standard rasterization but may struggle with advanced rendering features in demanding scenarios.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals classic GPU-bound behavior. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 141 at 1080p to 102 at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 64 at 4K (a 37% reduction from 1440p). This scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor as resolution increases. The 1080p to 1440p transition shows a relatively modest drop, suggesting that the CPU has sufficient headroom to feed the GPU at these resolutions. However, the 1440p to 4K transition is steeper, indicating that the GPU's pixel processing capabilities are being saturated.

At High settings, the scaling is similar but more pronounced. The 116 FPS at 1080p drops to 84 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 53 FPS at 4K (a 37% reduction). The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that resolution scaling is uniform, and the GPU's 10 GB memory buffer is not causing unexpected degradation at 4K. The 160-bit memory bus provides 380.0 GB/s, which appears adequate for the game's texture streaming requirements.

The Low preset shows the most dramatic scaling, with 195 FPS at 1080p dropping to 141 FPS at 1440p and then 89 FPS at 4K. The 1080p result of 195 FPS is notably high and indicates that at lower resolutions, the game becomes CPU-bound or that the GPU has significant idle capacity. This suggests that players with high refresh rate 1080p monitors can extract maximum performance with Low settings, though the visual quality trade-off may not be worthwhile given the Medium preset's 141 FPS average.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and Intel Arc B570 combination ranks 2256 out of 2813 tested combinations for Undisputed. This places the combo in the bottom 20% of all tested systems, which seems counterintuitive given the measured frame rates. This ranking likely reflects the broader database of tested combinations, which includes high-end CPUs and GPUs that achieve significantly higher frame rates. The rank indicates that while this combo is perfectly playable, it is not competitive with top-tier configurations.

The CPU's 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs, based on its average benchmark score of 36945, suggests the processor is not the limiting factor. The GPU's 65th percentile ranking, based on its average benchmark score of 20556, indicates that the graphics card is the weaker component in this pairing. The combo's overall rank of 2256 out of 2813 suggests that many tested combinations feature more powerful GPUs paired with comparable or better CPUs.

The nearest rivals for the CPU include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at -0.4%. These deltas are minimal, indicating that the 5600F is well-matched to its direct competitors. For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile at 0.1%, the Intel Arc A750 at -0.1%, and the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 0.4%. The Arc B570's performance is nearly identical to the RTX 3070 Mobile, suggesting that desktop users should expect similar Undisputed performance from either card.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.00 GHz and a boost clock of 4.00 GHz. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB L2 cache per core provide adequate memory hierarchy for game workloads. The measured Passmark scores show a single-thread score of 2872 and a multithread score of 19236, indicating balanced single-core and multicore performance that suits Undisputed's requirements.

The CPU's 85th percentile ranking suggests that it outperforms the majority of CPUs in the database, making it a strong partner for the Arc B570. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 195 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame delivery capability for this game. The drop to 141 FPS at Medium settings indicates that the GPU begins to take over as the limiting factor, but the CPU still has enough headroom to feed the GPU effectively.

The 5600F's 65W TDP and 7nm process node from TSMC contribute to its efficiency, though the game's frame rates are more dependent on the GPU's workload. The CPU's Passmark physics score of 1043 and floating point math score of 34548 indicate solid computational performance for game logic and physics calculations. The 12 threads ensure that the game can utilize multiple cores for AI and simulation tasks without bottlenecking the GPU.
