Undisputed

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed reveals a steep performance curve as resolution increases, with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT paired with the Intel Arc B390 showing clear signs of GPU-bound behavior at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the combo delivers 127 FPS average, which drops to 92 FPS at 2560x1440 and further to 58 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 27.6% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 54.3% drop from 1080p to 4K, indicating that the scaling is not linear and the GPU becomes progressively more of a limiting factor.

The Medium preset tells a similar story. At 1080p Medium, the average FPS is 91, falling to 66 at 1440p and 42 at 4K. The percentage drops here are 27.5% and 53.8% respectively, almost identical to the Low preset scaling. This consistency suggests that the rendering load scales predictably with pixel count, and the Intel Arc B390’s compute resources are the primary constraint once resolution climbs. The High preset shows 76 FPS at 1080p, 55 at 1440p, and 35 at 4K—drops of 27.6% and 54.0% respectively.

Ultra settings amplify the bottleneck even further. The combo manages 49 FPS at 1080p Ultra, 35 at 1440p Ultra, and only 22 at 4K Ultra. The 1080p-to-1440p drop is 28.6%, while the 1080p-to-4K drop reaches 55.1%. The absolute numbers at 4K Ultra (22 FPS) are below the 30 FPS playability threshold, confirming that this combination is not suited for maximum settings at 4K. The pattern across all four presets—with each step from 1080p to 1440p costing roughly 27-29% performance and each step to 4K costing roughly 54-55%—points squarely at the GPU as the limiting component. The CPU’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but the Arc B390’s modest 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 24 ROPs cannot sustain high frame rates as pixel count multiplies.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured data, the optimal balance between visual quality and playability for this combo is the Medium preset at 1920x1080. The 1080p Medium row shows 91 FPS average with a minimum of 78 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS, providing a smooth experience that stays well above the 60 FPS threshold in typical play. The jump from Low to Medium costs 36 FPS (from 127 to 91), but the visual fidelity improvement is substantial, and the minimum FPS of 78 still comfortably exceeds common V-sync targets.

At 2560x1440, Medium remains the best choice, delivering 66 FPS average with a minimum of 56 FPS. This is playable but closer to the edge, and players who prioritize frame rate stability might prefer Low settings at 92 FPS average. The 1440p High preset drops to 55 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS mark, making it a less attractive option unless visual quality takes precedence over smoothness. At 4K, only Low settings (58 FPS) approach playability; Medium at 42 FPS and High at 35 FPS are marginal, while Ultra at 22 FPS is not recommended for active gameplay.

The Ultra preset is consistently the worst value across all resolutions. At 1080p Ultra, the combo produces 49 FPS, which is 42 FPS lower than Medium at the same resolution. The visual difference between Medium and Ultra in a sports title like Undisputed rarely justifies a 46.2% performance penalty. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot for this hardware pairing, with Low as a fallback for higher resolutions or when players prefer maximum frame rates. High sits between them but offers no compelling advantage over Medium given the measured FPS deltas.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is the dominant factor in this combo’s Undisputed performance. The GPU’s specifications—1536 shading units, 48 TMUs, 24 ROPs, and 12 ray tracing cores—are modest by modern standards, and the 7.680 TFLOPS FP32 compute rate places it in the lower tier of current graphics processors. Its percentile ranking of 9 against all GPUs confirms this positioning, and the nearest rivals in the benchmark database are the NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX (1.3% ahead), GeForce 800M (1.5% ahead), GeForce GT 625 OEM (2.5% ahead), and GeForce GT 710 (2.7% ahead)—all legacy low-end parts.

The GPU’s memory configuration is System Shared, meaning it relies on the host system’s DDR4 memory rather than dedicated VRAM. The memory bandwidth is listed as System Dependent, which introduces variability based on the platform’s memory setup. The clock speeds are 300 MHz base and 2500 MHz boost, and the GPU’s 60.00 GPixel/s pixel rate and 120.0 GTexel/s texture rate provide a baseline for understanding its fill-rate capabilities. In Undisputed’s measured FPS, the GPU’s limitations become evident as settings and resolution increase, with the 4K Ultra result of 22 FPS clearly reflecting the hardware’s ceiling.

The GPU’s single benchmark score of 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 is low, and its average benchmark score matches that figure. This is a GPU designed for integrated graphics duty (slot width: IGP, bus interface: IGP), and its performance profile aligns with that positioning. In Undisputed, the GPU’s 24 ROPs are particularly relevant, as the game’s rendering at high resolutions demands substantial pixel throughput. The 1080p-to-4K scaling losses of over 50% across all presets are consistent with a GPU that lacks the raw bandwidth and compute to handle 4K workloads effectively.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT + Intel Arc B390 combination ranks 2491 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the bottom 11.5% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the GPU’s low percentile standing (9th percentile) dragging down what would otherwise be a mid-range CPU. The combo’s position in the database indicates that most other hardware pairings deliver better performance in this game, and the data supports this—the measured FPS at 4K Ultra (22 FPS) and even 1080p Ultra (49 FPS) are below what many competing setups would achieve.

The CPU’s individual standing is much stronger. The Ryzen 5 5600GT sits at the 74th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20733. Its nearest rivals—Intel Core i5-12490F (20802, -0.3% delta), Intel Xeon 6325P (20821, -0.4% delta), Intel Core Ultra 5 125U (20826, -0.4% delta), and AMD EPYC 7J13 (20845, -0.5% delta)—are all within 0.5% of its score. This tells a clear story: the CPU is competitive with mainstream and even some server-class parts, but the GPU’s 9th percentile ranking creates an extreme imbalance. The combo rank of 2491 out of 2813 is a direct consequence of this mismatch, where a capable processor is held back by a graphics solution that sits near the bottom of the database.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its strongest results across all presets. Low settings produce 127 FPS average, Medium produces 91 FPS average with a minimum of 78 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS, High produces 76 FPS, and Ultra produces 49 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 36 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 15 FPS, and the gap between High and Ultra is 27 FPS. The 1080p resolution is the only one where all presets exceed 45 FPS, making it the most flexible choice for players who want to adjust visual quality.

At 2560x1440, performance drops noticeably. Low settings produce 92 FPS average, Medium produces 66 FPS average with a minimum of 56 FPS and maximum of 76 FPS, High produces 55 FPS, and Ultra produces 35 FPS. The Medium preset remains the only option that consistently stays above 60 FPS on average, while Low provides a comfortable margin for high-refresh displays. The 1440p High and Ultra presets are below the 60 FPS threshold, and the data suggests that players should avoid Ultra at this resolution unless frame rate is not a priority.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles across the board. Low settings produce 58 FPS average, Medium produces 42 FPS average with a minimum of 36 FPS and maximum of 48 FPS, High produces 35 FPS, and Ultra produces 22 FPS. Only the Low preset exceeds 55 FPS, and even that result is within 2 FPS of the 60 FPS target. The Medium preset’s minimum of 36 FPS indicates significant frame time variance, which could lead to stutter during gameplay. The 4K Ultra result of 22 FPS is the lowest measured value in the entire dataset, confirming that this resolution is not suitable for maximum settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT provides 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, built on TSMC’s 7 nm process with 10,700 million transistors in a 180 mm² die. Its base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.60 GHz, combined with 16 MB of L3 cache, give it solid single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. The benchmark data supports this: the CPU scores 17272 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, 2438 in Cinebench R23 single-core, 7986 in Geekbench multi-core, and 1843 in Geekbench single-core. These figures place the CPU at the 74th percentile against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 20733.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with game state updates, physics calculations, and AI logic. The sports genre typically does not demand extreme multi-core scaling, and the 6-core/12-thread configuration is more than adequate for this workload. The measured FPS patterns—where performance scales consistently with resolution and settings—indicate that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect to see FPS plateaus at lower resolutions regardless of settings, but the data shows clear differences between 1080p and 1440p across all presets.

The CPU’s memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s over a dual-channel DDR4 bus is a potential consideration, especially given the GPU’s System Shared memory configuration. The GPU relies on the same system memory, which could create contention in bandwidth-sensitive scenarios. However, the consistent scaling patterns suggest that this is not a dominant factor in Undisputed’s performance. The CPU’s 3DMark scores—5523 in the 16-thread test, 5554 in the max-thread test, and 913 in single-thread—show balanced performance that aligns with its mainstream positioning. The PassMark multi-thread score of 20325 and single-thread score of 3348 further confirm that the CPU is capable of handling the game’s computational demands without becoming a limiting factor.
