Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a playable, sometimes exceptional, experience in Undisputed, but the performance curve reveals a system that is heavily constrained by the graphics card at higher resolutions while showing surprising headroom at 1080p. The data indicates this combo ranks in the 25th percentile of tested configurations for this title, yet the measured frame rates tell a story of consistent competency across the board.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and tells a clear story about where the bottleneck lies. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 132 FPS at 1920x1080 to 95 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 60 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 28% reduction from 1080p to 1440p, and another 37% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The total drop from 1080p to 4K is 55%, which is a substantial penalty that points directly at the Intel Arc B580 struggling with the pixel throughput demands of 4K.

This scaling pattern is classic GPU-bound behavior. The Ryzen 5 5600G, despite being a capable six-core processor, is not the limiting factor here. At Low settings, the frame rate at 1080p reaches 221 FPS, which is so high that it suggests the CPU is doing its job efficiently. The Arc B580, with its 2560 shading units and 456.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, simply cannot maintain those frame rates when the resolution increases. The data shows the GPU's pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s becomes a wall at 4K, particularly at Ultra settings where the average drops to just 39 FPS.

The Medium settings row provides the only min/max data in the pack, and it reinforces the resolution-scaling narrative. At 1080p Medium, the frame rate ranges from 135 to 183 FPS, with an average of 159. At 1440p Medium, that range narrows to 98–132 FPS with an average of 115. At 4K Medium, the range tightens further to 62–84 FPS with an average of 73. The shrinking gap between min and max as resolution increases is a textbook sign of the GPU becoming the sole performance limiter, with less variance because the CPU is no longer introducing frame pacing fluctuations.

FAQ

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo shows its strength. Low settings produce an average of 221 FPS, which is exceptionally high and suitable for high-refresh-rate displays. Medium settings average 159 FPS with a range of 135 to 183 FPS. High settings average 132 FPS, and even Ultra settings manage 85 FPS. This resolution is clearly where the Arc B580 shines, as the GPU's 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is sufficient to push frame rates well beyond what most monitors can display.

At 2560x1440, performance remains strong but shows the first signs of GPU limitation. Low settings average 160 FPS, which is still excellent. Medium settings average 115 FPS with a range of 98 to 132 FPS. High settings average 95 FPS, which is smooth for a sports title. Ultra settings drop to 61 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for competitive play. The 1440p results indicate that this combo is well-suited for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors at Medium or High settings.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor. Low settings average 101 FPS, which is surprisingly good for 4K. Medium settings average 73 FPS with a range of 62 to 84 FPS, providing a playable experience. High settings average exactly 60 FPS, which meets the minimum standard for smooth gameplay but leaves no headroom. Ultra settings average just 39 FPS, which is not suitable for a fast-paced sports game. The 4K data shows that the Arc B580 can handle 4K, but only at lower settings presets.

The Medium settings row is the only one with min and max frame rates in the pack, and it provides insight into frame pacing. At 1080p, the 135–183 FPS range shows a 48 FPS spread, indicating some variance but nothing problematic. At 1440p, the 98–132 FPS range narrows to a 34 FPS spread. At 4K, the 62–84 FPS range tightens to a 22 FPS spread. The narrowing range with increasing resolution suggests that the GPU is becoming more consistently utilized, which reduces frame time spikes.

Settings Recommendations

The optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1080p users, Ultra settings at 85 FPS average is the best choice, as it provides the highest visual quality while remaining well above 60 FPS. The 85 FPS average is smooth and the visual enhancements of Ultra settings are worth the performance cost compared to High settings at 132 FPS.

For 1440p users, High settings at 95 FPS average is the recommended preset. This provides a significant visual upgrade over Medium settings at 115 FPS, and the 20 FPS difference is less noticeable than the visual quality gain. Ultra settings at 61 FPS is also viable for those who prioritize visuals over frame rate, but High offers a better balance for gameplay.

For 4K users, Medium settings at 73 FPS average is the best option. Low settings at 101 FPS is smoother but sacrifices visual fidelity, while High settings at 60 FPS is exactly at the threshold of playability. Medium provides a 73 FPS average with a minimum of 62 FPS, ensuring that frame rate never drops below smooth gameplay standards. Ultra settings at 39 FPS should be avoided for active play.

The data supports a clear hierarchy: High settings at 1080p and 1440p, Medium at 4K. This combo does not have enough GPU headroom for Ultra at 4K, but it handles Medium settings at 4K with confidence. The measured rows show that the Arc B580's performance scales predictably with settings, allowing users to fine-tune their experience based on resolution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, built on a 7 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock of 3.90 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz provide solid single-thread performance, as evidenced by the 3DMark single-thread score of 872 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1409. The 16 MB of L3 cache is adequate for gaming workloads, and the dual-channel DDR4 memory support with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth ensures the CPU can feed the GPU without starvation.

In Undisputed, a sports simulation game, the CPU's role is to handle game logic, physics, and AI, while the GPU renders the visuals. The 5600G's 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for this task, as the frame rates at 1080p Low (221 FPS) demonstrate that the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5451 and max-thread score of 5455 show that the processor scales well with multithreaded workloads, which is relevant for games that offload simulation tasks to multiple threads.

The CPU's nearest rivals are all mobile or low-power processors, which highlights the 5600G's desktop advantage. The Intel Core i3-1220P (0.1% faster), Intel Core Ultra 7 256V (0.1% slower), AMD Ryzen 5 7530U (0.2% slower), and Intel Core Ultra 7 155U (0.4% slower) are all within a fraction of a percent in average benchmark score, but the 5600G's higher boost clock and dedicated desktop thermal envelope allow it to sustain performance for extended gaming sessions.

The data does not indicate that the CPU is a bottleneck at any resolution or settings preset tested. The frame rate drops from 1080p to 4K are entirely attributable to the GPU's pixel throughput limitations. At 4K Ultra, the 39 FPS average is clearly GPU-bound, as the CPU would not struggle with the game's logic at that resolution. The Arc B580's 80 ROPs and 213.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are the limiting factors at high resolutions, not the CPU's processing power. This pairing is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with the CPU providing ample headroom for the GPU to operate at its full potential.
