Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B580 pairing delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, with the data showing a clear performance ceiling at 4K Ultra settings. This combo ranks in the 22nd percentile of all tested configurations, indicating a balanced mid-range setup that excels at high refresh rates but struggles with maximum fidelity at higher resolutions.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts up to 5.00 GHz, which provides strong single-thread performance crucial for sports titles like Undisputed. The CPU’s 32 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR5 memory support with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth ensure the processor can feed data to the GPU without bottlenecks in most scenarios.

Looking at the benchmark data, the Ryzen 5 7500F scores 3,218 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 22,799 in multi-core. Its PassMark single-thread score of 3,841 and multithread score of 26,825 place it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. This indicates the processor is well above average for gaming workloads, where per-core performance matters most. The CPU’s 3DMark 2-thread score of 1,902 versus 8-thread score of 5,372 shows scaling efficiency, though the gap narrows at higher thread counts, suggesting diminishing returns beyond 8 threads for this title.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role becomes apparent when examining FPS at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low settings, the combo hits 221.1 FPS, which is well beyond what most displays can show. This high frame rate suggests the CPU is capable of driving the game engine at very high speeds, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution and settings increase. The 7500F’s 6 cores and 12 threads are sufficient for this sports title, which typically relies more on single-thread performance than heavy multi-threading. The CPU’s 65W TDP and unlocked multiplier make it an efficient choice for builders prioritizing lower power draw without sacrificing gaming performance.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The Intel Arc B580 is the GPU half of this combo, featuring 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Its base and boost clocks are both 2670 MHz, with memory running at 2375 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The card’s 2,560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units provide a solid foundation for 1080p and 1440p gaming. The B580’s 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance positions it as a capable mid-range option.

In the benchmark suite, the Arc B580 scores 15,748 in PassMark G3D and 109,672 in Geekbench Vulkan, placing it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, scores 23,181 in average benchmark score, which is only 0.7% higher than the B580’s 23,021. This tight margin shows the B580 is competitive with mainstream NVIDIA offerings in general compute tasks.

The GPU’s role in Undisputed becomes evident when analyzing FPS across settings. At 1080p High, the combo manages 130 FPS, dropping to 84.7 FPS at Ultra. The 12 GB VRAM is sufficient for this title even at 4K, as the game’s texture demands don’t appear to exceed this capacity. The B580’s 20 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support are present but not heavily utilized in this sports game, which focuses more on rasterization performance. The GPU’s 190W TDP and dual-slot design are reasonable for a mid-range card, though the suggested 450W PSU requirement should be noted for system planning.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a clear scaling pattern from 1080p to 4K across all settings. At Low settings, performance drops from 221.1 FPS at 1080p to 159.9 FPS at 1440p, then further to 101.9 FPS at 4K. This represents a 27.7% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 36.2% drop from 1440p to 4K. The consistent decline suggests the GPU is the primary bottleneck as resolution increases, since the CPU’s workload remains relatively constant across resolutions.

At High settings, the same pattern emerges: 130 FPS at 1080p drops to 92.6 FPS at 1440p (28.8% decrease) and then to 63.2 FPS at 4K (31.7% decrease). The steady falloff indicates that while the CPU can maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions, the Arc B580’s rendering capabilities are stretched at higher pixel counts. This is typical behavior for a mid-range GPU paired with a strong mid-range CPU.

The Ultra settings tell a more dramatic story. At 1080p Ultra, the combo hits 84.7 FPS, which drops to 61.3 FPS at 1440p and plummets to 37.8 FPS at 4K. The 55.4% performance loss from 1080p to 4K at Ultra demonstrates that this configuration is not suited for maximum quality at 4K. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is particularly telling: 101.9 FPS versus 37.8 FPS, a 63% reduction. This shows that the GPU’s compute resources are heavily taxed by the combination of high resolution and high settings, making the B580 the clear limiting factor in this scenario.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and Intel Arc B580 ranks 1,229 out of 1,580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the bottom 22.2% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the mid-range nature of both components; while each part performs well individually, the combination doesn’t push into the upper echelon of gaming performance. The rank suggests that many other CPU-GPU pairings deliver higher average FPS, likely those with more powerful GPUs or CPUs with higher single-thread scores.

The CPU’s percentile rank of 82 against all CPUs is notably higher than the GPU’s 66 percentile against all GPUs. This disparity indicates the GPU is the weaker link in this pairing, dragging down the overall combo ranking. The B580’s nearest rival, the RTX 4060, scores only 0.7% higher in average benchmarks, yet the combo still lands in the lower quartile of all tested systems. This suggests that while the individual components are competitive in their respective classes, the combination doesn’t synergize as well as higher-end pairings.

When comparing to other combos, the data implies that builders seeking higher rankings would need to upgrade the GPU before the CPU. The Ryzen 5 7500F’s strong CPU benchmarks can support more powerful graphics cards without bottlenecking, as evidenced by its high 82nd percentile ranking. For Undisputed specifically, this combo delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p but falls behind in the ultra-high refresh rate or 4K segments of the rankings.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The measured FPS data for Undisputed with this combo is as follows:

At 1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low settings: 221.1 FPS
• Medium settings: 158.5 FPS
• High settings: 130.0 FPS
• Ultra settings: 84.7 FPS

At 2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low settings: 159.9 FPS
• Medium settings: 116.6 FPS
• High settings: 92.6 FPS
• Ultra settings: 61.3 FPS

At 3840x2160 (4K):

• Low settings: 101.9 FPS
• Medium settings: 72.2 FPS
• High settings: 63.2 FPS
• Ultra settings: 37.8 FPS

The performance deltas between settings are consistent across resolutions. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra reduces FPS by 61.7%, while at 4K the same change results in a 62.9% reduction. This uniform scaling indicates the game’s settings have a predictable impact on GPU load, with Ultra settings taxing the system nearly identically regardless of resolution. The largest absolute drop occurs at 1080p, where Low to Medium costs 62.6 FPS, while the smallest is at 4K, where High to Ultra costs 25.4 FPS.

These numbers suggest that for competitive play or high refresh rate displays, 1080p Low or Medium settings are optimal, offering 221.1 FPS and 158.5 FPS respectively. For visual quality at 1440p, High settings at 92.6 FPS strike a good balance between fidelity and smoothness. At 4K, only Low settings (101.9 FPS) and Medium settings (72.2 FPS) provide acceptable frame rates, while Ultra should be avoided due to the sub-40 FPS result.
