Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a consistently playable experience in Undisputed, but the performance curve across resolutions reveals a system that is clearly balanced around 1440p and 1080p gaming. At 4K Ultra, the combo drops to 39 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at the highest settings, while the CPU provides ample headroom at lower resolutions, where frame rates exceed 200 FPS.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a steep and predictable drop-off that is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario at higher resolutions. At 1080p Low, the system produces an average of 221 FPS, which is an exceptionally high ceiling that suggests the processor is not limiting performance. Moving to 1440p Low, the average drops to 160 FPS, a 27.6% reduction, which still indicates a strong output. At 4K Low, the average falls to 101 FPS, which is a 36.9% drop from the 1440p result, showing how the increased pixel count begins to tax the Intel Arc B580 more heavily.

The scaling pattern becomes even more pronounced when examining the High and Ultra settings. At 1080p High, the combo achieves 132 FPS, which drops to 95 FPS at 1440p High (a 28% reduction) and then to 60 FPS at 4K High (a 36.8% reduction from 1440p). The Ultra preset tells a similar story but with a much lower starting point. At 1080p Ultra, the average is 85 FPS, which falls to 61 FPS at 1440p Ultra (a 28.2% reduction) and then plummets to 39 FPS at 4K Ultra (a 36.1% reduction from 1440p). This consistent percentage drop across all settings indicates that the scaling is primarily driven by resolution, not by the complexity of the scene or the CPU's ability to feed the GPU.

The data suggests that the limiting component changes depending on the target resolution. At 1080p, the system is likely CPU-bound or at least well-balanced, as evidenced by the 221 FPS Low result, which is far beyond what most displays can handle. At 1440p, the balance shifts slightly toward the GPU, but the 95 FPS High result shows there is still significant headroom. At 4K, the Intel Arc B580 becomes the definite bottleneck, especially at Ultra settings, where the 39 FPS average is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. The gap between Low and Ultra at 4K is 62 FPS, highlighting that the GPU's raw compute power is the limiting factor when pushing 8.3 million pixels.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested hardware combinations for Undisputed, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B580 ranks at position 2794 out of 3718 total combos. This places it in the lower 25% of all tested configurations, which is a significant finding given the individual components' specifications. The ranking suggests that while this combo is certainly playable, it is not optimized for top-tier performance in this particular title, likely due to the CPU being a previous-generation part that lacks the single-threaded punch of newer processors.

The benchmark scores for the individual components provide context for this ranking. The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X holds a percentile rank of 84 among all CPUs, which means it outperforms 84% of processors in general computing benchmarks. However, its nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 (deltaPct 0.1), the AMD EPYC 4244P (deltaPct 0.1), and the Intel Core i5-13450HX (deltaPct -0.2), all of which are within a fraction of a percent of its score. This indicates that the 3700X is functionally equivalent to these parts in synthetic tests, but none of them are particularly recent flagship models.

The Intel Arc B580, on the other hand, holds a percentile rank of 68 among all GPUs, which is slightly lower than the CPU's ranking. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (deltaPct -0.2) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 (deltaPct 0.6), showing that its average score sits right between these two very different generations of hardware. The fact that this combo ranks at 2794 out of 3718 indicates that the pairing of a mid-tier CPU with a mid-tier GPU does not produce a synergistic effect that boosts it above other less balanced configurations. The data implies that for Undisputed, the combination's rank is dragged down by the GPU's relatively lower percentile score compared to the CPU, meaning that while the processor is above average, the graphics card holds the system back in this specific game.

The Medium preset produces an average of 115 FPS, with a minimum of 98 FPS and a maximum of 132 FPS. The High preset drops to 95 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 61 FPS. The minimum FPS at Medium (98 FPS) is particularly notable because it remains above the 60 FPS threshold, suggesting that the system can handle frame drops without becoming unplayable.

At 3840x2160, the Intel Arc B580's limitations become apparent. The Low preset still manages an average of 101 FPS, which is respectable for 4K. The Medium preset drops to 73 FPS, with a minimum of 62 FPS and a maximum of 84 FPS. The High preset averages exactly 60 FPS, which is the baseline for smooth gameplay, but it leaves no headroom for demanding scenes. The Ultra preset falls to 39 FPS, which is a marginal experience. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is 62 FPS, and the gap between Medium and Ultra is 34 FPS, showing that the Ultra preset imposes a significant load that this GPU cannot handle at this resolution.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is the central component in determining the visual fidelity ceiling for this combo. With 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, the card provides 456.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, which is sufficient for the textures and assets in Undisputed. The GPU's core configuration includes 2560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, with a base clock of 2670 MHz and a boost clock of 2670 MHz. This fixed clock speed suggests that the card operates at a constant frequency under load, which simplifies performance prediction. The FP32 compute throughput is 13.67 TFLOPS, which is a moderate figure that aligns with its mid-range positioning.

The GPU's role in this game is primarily to manage the resolution and settings scaling. The data shows that at 1080p, the GPU is not fully utilized, as evidenced by the 221 FPS Low result, which is likely above the refresh rate of most monitors. At 1440p, the GPU begins to work harder, but the 95 FPS High result shows it can still handle the load. At 4K, the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck, especially at Ultra settings, where the 39 FPS result shows a clear limit to its pixel throughput. The 12 GB VRAM capacity is not likely to be a limiting factor at these settings, as the game's genre and visual complexity do not typically require more than 8 GB at 1080p or 1440p. The GPU's performance in synthetic benchmarks, such as a Passmark G3D score of 15748 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3068, places it in the 68th percentile of all GPUs, which is a solid mid-tier standing. The nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080, has a deltaPct of 0.6, meaning the Arc B580 is nearly identical in average score to that previous-generation high-end card, which explains its ability to handle 1440p High easily but struggle with 4K Ultra.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X serves as the foundation for this system, and its role in Undisputed is to ensure that the GPU is fed with enough data to maintain high frame rates at lower resolutions. The CPU features 8 cores and 16 threads, based on the Zen 2 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This configuration is mature and well-understood, and its performance in this game is adequate for the task. The CPU's Passmark multithread score is 22458, and its single-thread score is 2656, which are respectable figures for a desktop processor from its generation. The 32 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support provide sufficient bandwidth for gaming workloads.

In the context of this game, the CPU's impact is most visible at 1080p Low settings, where the frame rate reaches 221 FPS. This high value indicates that the CPU can process the game's simulation and physics without bottlenecking the GPU. The fact that the frame rate drops to 160 FPS at 1440p Low and 101 FPS at 4K Low shows that the GPU is the component that scales with resolution, while the CPU maintains a consistent level of performance. The CPU's benchmark results place it in the 84th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34260. Its nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i5-13450HX with a deltaPct of -0.2, show that the 3700X is competitive with much newer mobile processors in synthetic tests. However, its age is a factor in the overall combo ranking, as the 2794th place out of 3718 suggests that newer CPUs with higher single-thread performance might yield better results in games that are sensitive to frame pacing. The CPU's 65W TDP and 7nm process node make it an efficient part, but the data indicates that in Undisputed, the CPU is rarely the primary constraint, except perhaps at the very highest frame rates where the GPU is not yet saturated.
