Undisputed

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

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the 5 nm process at TSMC. Its base clock is 4.00 GHz with a boost clock of 4.50 GHz, and it carries a substantial 96 MB of shared L3 cache — a figure that stands out for a mainstream desktop part. The chip is a Raphael-generation design on AMD Socket AM5, with a 65 W TDP, and it supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus with 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The processor also integrates Radeon Graphics, though the presence of a discrete GPU in this combo makes that integrated solution secondary.

Benchmark data positions the 7500X3D in the 89th percentile of all CPUs tested. Its PassMark multi-thread score is 25047, while single-thread performance comes in at 3494. In integer math, the processor scores 70774, and in floating-point math it reaches 43594. The extended instructions score is 20455, data compression hits 271649, and data encryption lands at 15797. These numbers indicate a processor that handles both threaded and lightly-threaded workloads with composure, but the game-specific results in Undisputed suggest that the CPU is not the primary constraint at most settings.

The nearest rivals in the aggregate benchmark database show a tight cluster. The Intel Core Ultra X9 388H averages 44466, a delta of 0.2% relative to the 7500X3D's average benchmark score of 44573. The Intel Core i9-13950HX is 0.5% behind at 44342, and the AMD Ryzen AI Max 385 trails by 0.6% with 44309. The only rival ahead is the Intel Core i5-14600 at 44889, a 0.7% lead. These margins are negligible, meaning the 7500X3D sits in a performance tier where CPU-bound differences are unlikely to manifest as meaningful FPS swings in a sports title like Undisputed.

For this game, the CPU's role is best understood through the scaling pattern across resolutions. At 1080p, where the GPU has less work per frame, the CPU must feed frames quickly — and the data shows high averages even at Low settings (221 FPS). This suggests the 7500X3D is delivering frames without bottlenecking the Arc B580. The 96 MB L3 cache is likely beneficial for keeping frequently accessed game data close to the cores, though the measured FPS numbers do not isolate cache effects directly. The 6-core/12-thread configuration is more than adequate for a sports simulation, which rarely scales beyond a handful of threads.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured FPS data for this combo in Undisputed provides a clear picture of how settings impact performance. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 221 FPS, which is far beyond what any display refresh rate would need. Medium settings drop to 159 FPS, still comfortably above 144 Hz thresholds. High settings produce 132 FPS, and Ultra falls to 85 FPS. For competitive or high-refresh play at 1080p, Medium is the sweet spot: it retains a high frame rate while improving visual fidelity over Low, and it avoids the 132 FPS ceiling of High that could matter on a 144 Hz monitor.

At 2560x1440, the pattern shifts. Low yields 160 FPS, Medium drops to 115 FPS, and High comes in at 95 FPS. Ultra is the outlier at 61 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p offers a balanced experience — 115 FPS is smooth for most displays, and the min FPS of 98 suggests minimal stutter. High at 95 FPS is also acceptable, but the 20 FPS gap between Medium and High may be noticeable on fast motion. For a sports title where fluidity matters, Medium at 1440p is the recommended preset.

At 3840x2160, the choices narrow. Low averages 101 FPS, Medium averages 73 FPS with a min of 62, and High averages exactly 60 FPS. Ultra drops to 39 FPS, which is not playable for a smooth experience. The data suggests that Medium at 4K is the best balance: it maintains a 73 FPS average with a 62 FPS floor, which is above the 60 FPS standard for console-like smoothness. High at 60 FPS is technically playable, but the min FPS is not recorded, so the Medium preset's documented 62 FPS minimum provides more confidence in consistency.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: Low and Medium provide headroom, High is playable but tighter, and Ultra is only viable at 1080p (85 FPS) or 1440p (61 FPS). For the best experience per the measured rows, Medium is the default recommendation at every resolution except 1080p, where High at 132 FPS is still well above typical refresh rates.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combo of AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D and Intel Arc B580 ranks 2117 out of 2813 tested combinations in Undisputed. This rank places the combo in the 25th percentile of tested combos, meaning roughly three-quarters of the tested configurations perform better. The rank is likely driven by the GPU's position rather than the CPU's, given that the 7500X3D sits in the 89th percentile of CPUs while the Arc B580 sits in the 68th percentile of GPUs.

The rank of 2117 suggests that this combo is not optimized for Undisputed's specific engine demands. The CPU's strong benchmark scores — 25047 in multi-thread and 3494 in single-thread — do not translate into a top-tier game rank, which implies the GPU is the limiting factor. The Arc B580's 12 GB of VRAM and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth are substantial, but its 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 performance places it in a mid-range tier. The GPU's nearest rivals include the RTX 2080 and RTX 3080, which are older architectures but score similarly in aggregate benchmarks.

The rank also reflects the resolution scaling pattern. At 1080p, the combo achieves 221 FPS on Low, which is excellent, but at 4K Ultra it falls to 39 FPS, which is poor. This wide spread suggests the combo's rank is dragged down by high-resolution, high-settings performance rather than by a fundamental inability to run the game. For a player targeting 1080p or 1440p, the rank undersells the experience; for a 4K player on Ultra, the rank is accurate.

Compared to other combos in the database, the 2117 rank places this setup in the lower half, but the context matters. The CPU is a recent release (November 2025) and the GPU is also recent (December 2024), so the combo represents current mid-range hardware. The rank indicates that Undisputed favors other combinations, likely those with stronger GPUs, but the measured FPS at 1080p and 1440p shows this combo is far from inadequate for most play scenarios.

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

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear scaling pattern. At 1080p Low, the combo averages 221 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 160 FPS — a 27.6% reduction. At 4K Low, the average falls to 101 FPS — a 54.3% reduction from 1080p. This scaling is consistent with a GPU-bound scenario at lower settings, where the CPU has enough headroom to feed frames but the GPU's rendering load increases with pixel count.

At Medium settings, the pattern is similar but slightly steeper. 1080p Medium averages 159 FPS, 1440p Medium drops to 115 FPS (a 27.7% reduction), and 4K Medium falls to 73 FPS (a 54.1% reduction). The consistency of these percentages — roughly 27% for the 1080p-to-1440p step and 54% for the 1080p-to-4K step — indicates that the GPU is the primary limiter. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would not scale so predictably with resolution, because the CPU's workload stays constant while the GPU's pixel throughput changes.

At High settings, the scaling is slightly different. 1080p High averages 132 FPS, 1440p High drops to 95 FPS (a 28.0% reduction), and 4K High falls to 60 FPS (a 54.5% reduction). The near-identical percentages across Low, Medium, and High settings reinforce the GPU-bound conclusion. The Ultra settings show a different pattern: 1080p Ultra averages 85 FPS, 1440p Ultra drops to 61 FPS (a 28.2% reduction), and 4K Ultra falls to 39 FPS (a 54.1% reduction). Even at Ultra, the scaling percentages hold.

This consistent scaling suggests that the CPU's 6-core/12-thread configuration and 96 MB L3 cache are not limiting factors in Undisputed. The 7500X3D is capable of delivering frames quickly enough at 1080p to push the Arc B580 to 221 FPS on Low, and the FPS drops are almost entirely attributable to the GPU's rendering capability. The Arc B580's 2670 MHz clock and 2560 shading units are the determinants of pixel throughput, and the data shows that the GPU saturates well before the CPU becomes a constraint.

The implication for players is that lowering resolution will yield predictable FPS gains, and raising settings at a fixed resolution will also produce consistent degradation. The combo is well-balanced for 1080p and 1440p, where the CPU can keep up with the GPU's output, but at 4K the GPU's limitations become apparent, particularly at Ultra settings where the 39 FPS average is below playable thresholds.

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

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its highest performance. Low settings produce an average of 221 FPS. Medium settings yield 159 FPS with a min of 135 and a max of 183. High settings average 132 FPS, and Ultra settings drop to 85 FPS. The 1080p data shows a wide spread from 85 to 221 FPS, indicating that the GPU has significant headroom at lower settings but is stressed at Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the averages are lower but still strong. Low settings average 160 FPS. Medium settings average 115 FPS with a min of 98 and a max of 132. High settings average 95 FPS, and Ultra settings average 61 FPS. The 1440p Medium preset shows a tight min-max range (98-132), suggesting stable frame pacing. The Ultra preset at 61 FPS is just above the 60 FPS threshold, but the lack of min/max data for Ultra means stability is unverified.

At 3840x2160, the performance drops significantly. Low settings average 101 FPS. Medium settings average 73 FPS with a min of 62 and a max of 84. High settings average exactly 60 FPS, and Ultra settings average 39 FPS. The 4K Medium preset is the only 4K configuration with documented min/max values, and the 62 FPS minimum indicates the combo can hold above 60 FPS in most scenes. The 4K High average of 60 FPS is borderline, and 4K Ultra at 39 FPS is not recommended for smooth play.

The data shows a consistent pattern: each step up in settings costs roughly 15-25% performance, and each step up in resolution costs roughly 27-28% performance. The 1080p Low result of 221 FPS is the standout figure, indicating that the combo is capable of very high frame rates when the GPU is not heavily loaded. The 4K Ultra result of 39 FPS is the lowest measured value, and it represents a 82.4% drop from the 1080p Low peak.

For players seeking specific targets, the data supports the following: to exceed 100 FPS, use 1080p Medium or Low, or 1440p Low. To exceed 60 FPS, use 1080p Ultra, 1440p High or Medium, or 4K Medium or Low. The 4K High and 4K Ultra presets fall below or at the 60 FPS line, with Ultra being clearly inadequate at 39 FPS.

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

The Intel Arc B580 is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, codenamed Battlemage, and manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. Its base clock is 2670 MHz with a boost clock of 2670 MHz, and the memory runs at 2375 MHz with a 19 Gbps effective rate. The 12 GB of GDDR6 memory sits on a 192-bit bus, providing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

The GPU's FP32 performance is 13.67 TFLOPS, and its texture rate is 427.2 GTexel/s with a pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s. The 20 ray tracing cores support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The GPU has a 190 W TDP and connects via PCIe 4.0 x8. Its launch MSRP was 249 USD.

In the context of Undisputed, the GPU's role is clearly dominant. The FPS scaling across resolutions and settings shows that the Arc B580's rendering throughput is the limiting factor, not the CPU. The 12 GB of VRAM is ample for a sports title at 4K, where texture memory demands are moderate. The 456.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for the game's data streaming, as evidenced by stable min FPS values at 1440p Medium (98 FPS) and 4K Medium (62 FPS).

The GPU's benchmark scores position it in the 68th percentile of all GPUs. Its PassMark G3D score is 15748, and its PassMark GPU compute score is 7729. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 3068. Its nearest rivals in the aggregate database are the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (23061, 0.2% ahead), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (22895, 0.6% behind), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (23172, 0.7% ahead), and NVIDIA P106-100 (23249, 1% ahead). These margins are small, indicating the Arc B580 sits in a competitive mid-range tier.

The GPU's 2670 MHz clock is relatively high for a mid-range part, and the 80 ROPs help with pixel fill at high resolutions. However, the 13.67 TFLOPS of FP32 compute is modest compared to top-tier GPUs, which explains the 39 FPS result at 4K Ultra. The 12 GB VRAM is not a limiting factor in Undisputed — the game's requirements are well within this capacity at all settings. The GPU's role is to provide playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, and to maintain 60 FPS at 4K Medium, which the data confirms it does.
