Undisputed

Settings Recommendations

The measured data for Undisputed with this AMD Ryzen 5 5600G + Intel Arc B390 combination reveals a clear hierarchy across presets, with the Medium setting emerging as the most balanced choice for most users. At 1920x1080, Medium delivers an average of 91 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS, which provides a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining visual quality beyond the Low preset. The Low preset at the same resolution pushes performance to 127 FPS average, but the jump from Low to Medium costs only 36 FPS (from 127 to 91) while presumably offering substantial visual improvements—a trade-off worth examining.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset again proves its viability, with an average of 66 FPS and a minimum of 56 FPS that stays just above the 60 FPS average mark. This makes 1440p Medium the highest-resolution setting that still maintains playable frame rates for competitive or smooth single-player experiences. The High preset at 1440p drops to 55 FPS average, which is below the 60 FPS target and may introduce noticeable stutter in fast-paced boxing exchanges. For users prioritizing frame rate stability, 1440p Medium represents the sweet spot where resolution and settings balance against the hardware's capabilities.

The Ultra preset is demonstrably too demanding for this combo across all resolutions. At 1080p, Ultra yields only 49 FPS average; at 1440p, it drops to 35 FPS; and at 4K, it falls to 22 FPS. These numbers indicate that Ultra settings exceed what this hardware can deliver at playable rates, making it unsuitable except for users who prioritize visual fidelity over gameplay smoothness and are willing to accept sub-30 FPS performance at lower resolutions. The data strongly suggests that Medium is the recommended preset for the best experience, as it consistently maintains higher frame rates than High while offering better visuals than Low.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390's role in this combination is defined by its memory configuration and clock behavior, both of which have direct implications for Undisputed's performance. The GPU uses System Shared memory, meaning its VRAM allocation and bandwidth are entirely dependent on the system's DDR4 memory configuration—specifically the 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth of the Ryzen 5 5600G's dual-channel setup. This shared memory architecture explains why the GPU's performance scales so dramatically with resolution changes, as higher resolutions demand more memory bandwidth and capacity.

The Arc B390's clock speeds range from a 300 MHz base to a 2500 MHz boost, and its benchmark score of 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 places it at the 9th percentile among all GPUs. This low percentile ranking is reflected in the measured FPS data, where the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates at demanding settings. The nearest rivals—NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX at 1463 (1.3% higher), GT 800M at 1460 (1.5% higher), GT 625 OEM at 1446 (2.5% higher), and GT 710 at 1443 (2.7% higher)—all fall within a narrow performance band, confirming that this integrated GPU sits at the entry-level tier of graphics hardware.

The GPU's 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 ROPs, combined with 12 ray tracing cores, provide a baseline of compute capability, but the system-shared memory creates a bottleneck. In Undisputed, this manifests as significant FPS drops when moving from Low to High settings at the same resolution. At 1080p, the gap between Low (127 FPS) and High (76 FPS) is 51 FPS, and at 4K, the same settings gap shows a 23 FPS difference (58 FPS to 35 FPS). The GPU's texture rate of 120.0 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 60.00 GPixel/s, while respectable for an integrated part, cannot compensate for the memory bandwidth limitations when rendering complex scenes with high-resolution textures.

A: At 2560x1440 Medium, the average is 66 FPS with a minimum of 56 FPS and maximum of 76 FPS. The 20 FPS spread between minimum and maximum indicates moderate frame time variance, but the minimum staying above 55 FPS suggests reasonable stability for most gameplay.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU in Undisputed?

A: The CPU's 3DMark max-threads score of 5455 and single-thread score of 872 are modest, but the FPS patterns across resolutions—with 1080p Low hitting 127 FPS—suggest the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at lower settings. At higher settings, the GPU becomes the limiting factor, as shown by the sharp FPS drops when increasing visual quality.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Intel Arc B390 ranks 2491 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the bottom percentile of system configurations. With 322 combos ranked below it, this setup outperforms roughly 11.5% of tested systems, which aligns with the GPU's low 9th percentile ranking and the CPU's comparatively stronger 74th percentile standing. The rank disparity between the CPU and GPU components is notable—the processor is a mid-range part by modern standards, while the graphics solution is decidedly entry-level.

The combo rank reflects the significant bottleneck created by the integrated GPU. The CPU's average benchmark score of 21088 places it near the Intel Core i3-1220P (21066, 0.1% higher), Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (21112, -0.1%), AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (21133, -0.2%), and Intel Core Ultra 7 155U (21174, -0.4%), showing that the processor is competitive with mobile and low-power desktop parts. However, the GPU's performance tier drags the overall gaming experience down, as evidenced by the FPS data showing sub-60 performance at most settings above Medium.

The 2813 total combos tested provide context for this ranking—being 2491st means this system sits near the bottom quartile of all tested configurations. For a sports title like Undisputed, which likely benefits from smooth, consistent frame rates for timing-based mechanics, this ranking suggests that users will need to make significant compromises in visual quality to achieve playable performance. The gap between this combo and higher-ranked systems is primarily attributable to the GPU, as the CPU's percentile ranking would typically support better gaming performance if paired with a more capable graphics solution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G brings six cores and twelve threads to this combination, with a base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This 5000-series processor built on TSMC's 7 nm process with Zen 3 architecture (Cezanne codename) demonstrates solid multi-threaded capabilities, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 10551 and single-core score of 1409. The CPU's 16 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide adequate data throughput for gaming workloads, though the integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics shares this memory subsystem with the Arc B390.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary to the GPU based on the FPS scaling patterns. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 127 FPS, suggesting the CPU can handle the game's physics and AI calculations without becoming a limiting factor at lower graphical loads. However, the CPU's single-thread performance, as indicated by the 3DMark single-thread score of 872 and PassMark single-thread score of 3177, may constrain performance in scenes with complex boxing animations or crowd simulations. The CPU's 74th percentile ranking among all processors indicates it is a capable mid-range part, but not a top-tier performer.

The CPU's 65W TDP and 7 nm process node contribute to efficient operation, which is relevant for system builders using this combo in compact or thermally constrained cases. The 12 threads provide good multi-tasking capability, and the PassMark multithread score of 19717 shows solid parallel performance. In the context of this game, the CPU's 16 MB L3 cache likely helps with loading character models and arena data, though the shared memory bandwidth with the GPU creates a potential contention point—especially at higher resolutions where the GPU demands more memory bandwidth for texture streaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo reveals a consistent pattern across all three resolutions, with Low settings providing the highest frame rates and Ultra the lowest. At 1920x1080, the full range of settings shows: Low at 127 FPS average, Medium at 91 FPS (minimum 78, maximum 105), High at 76 FPS, and Ultra at 49 FPS. This represents a 78 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 1080p, with each step up in settings costing roughly 15-40 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 78 FPS indicates reasonable frame time consistency, while the Ultra preset's sub-50 FPS average suggests stutter-prone gameplay.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops proportionally: Low at 92 FPS, Medium at 66 FPS (minimum 56, maximum 76), High at 55 FPS, and Ultra at 35 FPS. The 1440p results show a 57 FPS spread between Low and Ultra. Notably, the 1440p Medium minimum of 56 FPS is close to the 60 FPS target, meaning dips below 60 FPS will occur during intense moments. At 3840x2160, the results are: Low at 58 FPS, Medium at 42 FPS (minimum 36, maximum 48), High at 35 FPS, and Ultra at 22 FPS. The 4K Medium minimum of 36 FPS indicates significant frame rate drops during gameplay, making this resolution only viable at Low settings for a somewhat smooth experience.

The pattern across all resolutions shows that the Low-to-Medium transition costs approximately 28-36% of performance, while Medium-to-High costs an additional 16-27%, and High-to-Ultra costs another 35-37%. This non-linear scaling suggests that the Ultra preset introduces rendering features (such as enhanced shadows or post-processing effects) that disproportionately impact this GPU's limited compute and memory bandwidth resources.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K provides insight into which component limits performance in Undisputed. At Low settings, the progression is: 127 FPS at 1080p, 92 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. This represents a 27.6% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 54.3% drop from 1080p to 4K. The resolution scaling factor—where 1440p has 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K has 4 times—shows that FPS does not drop linearly with pixel count. The 4K Low performance of 58 FPS is 45.7% of the 1080p Low performance, which is better than the theoretical 25% (1/4 of pixels) that pure pixel-count scaling would predict.

This non-linear scaling suggests that at lower settings, the CPU plays a more significant role, as the GPU is less burdened by pixel fill and texture work. The 1080p Low result of 127 FPS likely approaches the CPU's frame generation limit for this game, meaning that resolution increases at Low settings don't fully stress the GPU until reaching higher pixel counts. At Medium settings, the scaling is: 91 FPS at 1080p, 66 FPS at 1440p, and 42 FPS at 4K—a 27.5% drop to 1440p and 53.8% drop to 4K. This pattern mirrors the Low settings scaling, indicating that the GPU's memory bandwidth constraint becomes the dominant factor at Medium settings.

At High settings, the scaling shifts: 76 FPS at 1080p, 55 FPS at 1440p, and 35 FPS at 4K—drops of 27.6% and 53.9% respectively. The consistent percentage drops across settings suggest that the system-shared memory bandwidth is the primary bottleneck, as higher resolutions exponentially increase memory traffic for frame buffers and textures. The Ultra settings show the most severe scaling: 49 FPS at 1080p, 35 FPS at 1440p, and 22 FPS at 4K—drops of 28.6% and 55.1%. The fact that these percentage drops remain remarkably consistent (around 28% to 1440p and 54-55% to 4K) across all settings indicates that the limiting component—likely the GPU's shared memory architecture—constrains performance uniformly regardless of graphical complexity.
