*Q: What is the combo's overall rank in Undisputed?*

A: The data places this combo at rank 2491 out of 2813 tested combinations. This means it outperforms only roughly 11% of all tested combos in this specific game, positioning it near the bottom of the performance distribution despite the capable CPU.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B390 is the primary limiting factor in this pairing. Its specification sheet reveals why: the GPU is an integrated part (IGP) built on the Xe3-LPG architecture, using a 3 nm process from Intel. It has 1536 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, and 24 raster output pipelines, along with 12 ray tracing cores. The pixel rate is 60.00 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 120.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance rated at 7.680 TFLOPS. However, the critical weakness is its memory subsystem: it shares system memory rather than using dedicated VRAM, with bandwidth listed as "System Dependent." This means the GPU's effective performance in Undisputed will fluctuate based on the system's DDR5 memory configuration and how much bandwidth is allocated to graphics.

The benchmark data for the B390 is sparse, showing only a single score of 1482 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. That score places it in the 9th percentile of all GPUs, meaning it is slower than 91% of tested graphics hardware. Its nearest rivals are all NVIDIA parts from the early 2010s: the GT 520MX (1463), GeForce 800M (1460), GT 625 OEM (1446), and GT 710 (1443). The B390 leads these by just 1.3% to 2.7%, indicating it is roughly equivalent to a decade-old entry-level discrete GPU. For a modern sports title like Undisputed, this level of graphics power is marginal at best.

The GPU's clock behavior further illustrates its constraints. With a base clock of 300 MHz and a boost of 2500 MHz, the B390 relies on aggressive boosting to reach playable levels. The 80W TDP is modest, but with "System Shared" memory, the actual bandwidth available for texture fetching and frame buffer operations is unpredictable. In the measured FPS data, the GPU's limitations appear clearly: at 1080p Ultra, the average is just 49 FPS, dropping to 35 FPS at 1440p and 22 FPS at 4K. Even at Low settings, the 4K average is only 58 FPS, showing that the B390 cannot sustain high frame rates at higher resolutions regardless of settings.

The architecture supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, which means it can technically run modern APIs. However, the raw compute and memory bandwidth are insufficient for demanding workloads. The FP16 performance of 15.36 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio) suggests some efficiency in half-precision tasks, but Undisputed is a sports simulation that relies on consistent frame pacing rather than compute bursts. The data indicates the GPU is the clear bottleneck: even with a high-end CPU like the Ryzen 5 7600, the B390's 9th percentile ranking caps performance.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a far stronger component than the GPU it is paired with. This 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series uses the Zen 4 architecture (Raphael) and is built on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, with a 65W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 32 MB of shared L3 cache. It supports dual-channel DDR5 memory with 83.2 GB/s bandwidth, which is crucial for feeding the integrated GPU. The CPU also has access to 24 PCIe Gen 5 lanes and includes Radeon Graphics as integrated graphics, though the primary display is driven by the Arc B390.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 7600 demonstrates solid performance. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 12735, with a single-core score of 1852. Geekbench results show 13413 for multi-core and 2521 for single-core. Passmark tests reveal strong integer math (80581) and floating-point math (48107) scores, while the multithread score is 27058. The 3DMark tests show scalability from 999 (single-thread) to 6503 (max threads), indicating good multi-thread scaling. The CPU's percentile rank of 78th means it beats 78% of all CPUs, which is significant for a mid-range desktop part.

The nearest rivals to the Ryzen 5 7600 are all within a 0.5% margin. The Ryzen 9 6900HX (26274) is 0.2% slower, the Ryzen 7 7435HS (26402) is 0.3% faster, the Core i9-11900KF (26212) is 0.4% slower, and the Ryzen 5 8540U (26187) is 0.5% slower. This clustering shows that the 7600 is right in the middle of a performance plateau for CPUs in this range. For Undisputed, which is a sports title that does not typically require massive thread counts, the 7600's 6 cores and 12 threads are more than sufficient to handle game logic, physics, and AI. The 3.80 GHz base clock ensures consistent performance even under sustained loads.

However, the CPU's potential is wasted in this combo because the GPU cannot keep up. The measured FPS data shows that even at 1080p Low, where the CPU would be least stressed, the average is 127 FPS—a good figure but not exceptional. At 4K Ultra, the CPU is likely idle much of the time while the GPU struggles to render frames. The memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s is shared between CPU and GPU, and the Arc B390's "System Dependent" bandwidth means it draws from the same pool, potentially causing contention. The CPU's launch MSRP is $229, but its performance class is far above the GPU's, creating an imbalance where the CPU is never the limiting factor in any resolution or settings combination.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank for this pairing in Undisputed is 2491 out of 2813 tested combos. This places it in the bottom 11.4% of all configurations, which is consistent with the GPU's 9th percentile ranking. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking does little to boost the overall position because the GPU is so weak. This rank indicates that the vast majority of other CPU+GPU combinations tested in this game deliver higher frame rates or better consistency.

The gap between the CPU and GPU rankings is stark. The Ryzen 5 7600 is a top-quartile processor, while the Arc B390 is a bottom-decile GPU. In a balanced system, these components would be closer in percentile, but here the GPU is the clear drag. The data shows that the combo's rank is almost entirely determined by the GPU's performance, as the CPU's influence is minimal when the GPU is saturated. For context, the combo rank of 2491 means that only 322 other combos (out of 2813) perform worse. This is a very low position, suggesting that users would need to significantly lower settings or resolution to achieve playable frame rates.

The nearest GPU rivals (GT 520MX, GeForce 800M, etc.) are all from older generations, and their presence in the rankings confirms that the B390 is not competitive with even modest modern GPUs. The combo's performance in Undisputed will be bounded by the GPU's 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1482, which is a direct indicator of its limited rasterization power. In practical terms, this rank means users should expect frame rates in the 30-60 FPS range only at 1080p with Low or Medium settings, and sub-30 FPS at 4K with anything above Low.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a clear pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, which is a classic sign of GPU-bound rendering. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS drops by roughly 27-28% across all settings. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is more severe, averaging around 36-37%. For example, at High settings, the average goes from 76 FPS (1080p) to 55 FPS (1440p) to 35 FPS (4K). This represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is more than the 25% linear reduction in pixel count (from 2.07 million to 8.29 million pixels), indicating that the GPU's memory bandwidth is a limiting factor.

At Low settings, the scaling is slightly better: 127 FPS at 1080p, 92 FPS at 1440p, and 58 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 54%, same as High. However, the absolute numbers are higher, showing that reducing settings alleviates some of the GPU load. At Medium settings, the averages are 91 FPS (1080p), 66 FPS (1440p), and 42 FPS (4K), with the 1080p to 4K drop being 54%. Ultra settings show the worst scaling: 49 FPS at 1080p, 35 FPS at 1440p, and 22 FPS at 4K, a 55% reduction.

The consistency of the ~54-55% drop from 1080p to 4K across all settings strongly suggests that the GPU is the limiting component. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect the percentage drop to be smaller at lower resolutions (where CPU load is higher relative to GPU). Instead, the steady decline points to the Arc B390's shared memory and low pixel rate (60.00 GPixel/s) as the primary constraint. The data shows that at 4K, even Low settings only reach 58 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target for smooth gameplay. At 1080p, Medium (91 FPS) and Low (127 FPS) are playable, while High (76 FPS) is acceptable but not ideal, and Ultra (49 FPS) is borderline.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080 (1080p):

• Low: Average 127 FPS. This is the highest score in the entire dataset, indicating that at this resolution and settings, the combo can provide a very smooth experience. The min and max FPS are not recorded, but the average is well above 100 FPS.
• Medium: Average 91 FPS, with a minimum of 78 FPS and maximum of 105 FPS. This shows a stable frame time window, with the average being 28% lower than Low. The min-to-max spread of 27 FPS suggests some variance but still playable.
• High: Average 76 FPS. No min or max data is provided, but this is a 40% drop from Low. This is the first setting where the average falls below 100 FPS, though it remains above 60 FPS.
• Ultra: Average 49 FPS. This is a 61% drop from Low, and the average is below the 60 FPS threshold. Without min/max data, it's unclear how consistent this is, but the average suggests potential stutter on demanding scenes.

2560x1440 (1440p):

• Low: Average 92 FPS. This is a 27.6% drop from 1080p Low, confirming the GPU's scaling limitations. The average is still above 60 FPS.
• Medium: Average 66 FPS, with a minimum of 56 FPS and maximum of 76 FPS. The min is below 60 FPS, indicating that some scenes will dip into the 50s, which could be noticeable. The average is 28% lower than 1080p Medium.
• High: Average 55 FPS. This is a 27.6% drop from 1080p High and falls below 60 FPS. This is a marginal experience for a sports title, where consistent 60 FPS is often preferred.
• Ultra: Average 35 FPS. This is a 28.6% drop from 1080p Ultra, and the average is well below 60 FPS, making gameplay feel sluggish.

3840x2160 (4K):

• Low: Average 58 FPS. This is the only 4K setting that averages above 55 FPS. The 36.9% drop from 1440p Low is significant, but the absolute number is just below 60 FPS, which is borderline.
• Medium: Average 42 FPS, with a minimum of 36 FPS and maximum of 48 FPS. The min of 36 FPS is quite low, and the average is 36.4% below 1440p Medium. This is not a smooth experience.
• High: Average 35 FPS. This is a 36.4% drop from 1440p High, and the average is exactly 35 FPS, which is far from playable for a fast-paced sport.
• Ultra: Average 22 FPS. This is the lowest score in the dataset, a 37.1% drop from 1440p Ultra. This is effectively unplayable, as the frame rate is in slideshow territory.

The data reveals a consistent pattern: the Arc B390's performance degrades by roughly 27-28% from 1080p to 1440p, and then another 36-37% from 1440p to 4K, regardless of settings. This double-drop is a hallmark of a GPU that runs out of memory bandwidth at higher resolutions. The only bright spot is 1080p Low, where 127 FPS is achievable, and 1080p Medium, which offers 91 FPS with a reasonable min of 78 FPS. For any higher resolution or settings, users will need to accept frame rates below 60 FPS, with 4K Ultra being the worst case at 22 FPS. The CPU's role is minimal throughout, as its 78th percentile ranking cannot compensate for the GPU's 9th percentile performance.
