Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and Intel Arc B580 combination delivers a highly playable experience in Undisputed, but the data reveals a clear performance ceiling tied to the graphics card. Across all measured resolutions, the GPU is the primary limiting factor, with the CPU providing ample headroom. The benchmark results show that this combo ranks in the 1234th position out of 1580 tested combinations, placing it in the lower-middle tier of the database, yet the frame rates achieved at mainstream settings are robust.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and consistent, indicating a GPU-bound scenario. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 132.4 FPS at 1920x1080 to 94.2 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 57.4 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 29% reduction from 1080p to 1440p and a further 39% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The trend is similar across all settings, confirming that the Intel Arc B580’s rendering throughput is the bottleneck as pixel count increases.

The scaling pattern is revealing. At Low settings, the 1080p result of 221.6 FPS drops to 160.3 FPS at 1440p and then to 98.9 FPS at 4K. The margin between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically at higher resolutions. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is 134.5 FPS (221.6 vs 87.1). At 4K, that gap narrows to 61.9 FPS (98.9 vs 37). This compression suggests that at 4K, even Low settings cannot fully escape the GPU’s pixel-pushing limits, while at 1080p, the lower settings allow the GPU to stretch its legs.

The data shows that 1440p is the sweet spot for this pairing. The High preset at 2560x1440 achieves 94.2 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. In contrast, the 4K High result of 57.4 FPS is marginally below that threshold, indicating that 4K gaming requires a compromise in settings. The resolution scaling behavior confirms that the Arc B580 is the limiting component; the CPU is not holding back performance at any resolution, as evidenced by the consistent frame rate progression.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580 is the dominant component in this pairing, and its specifications directly explain the measured results. The GPU features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, providing 456.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This memory configuration is sufficient for the textures and assets in Undisputed, as evidenced by the playable frame rates at High settings across resolutions. The Arc B580’s boost clock is 2670 MHz, and it houses 2560 shading units, which drive the raw computation for the game’s rendering.

The GPU’s performance profile is further contextualized by its benchmark scores. It achieves a Passmark G3D score of 15748, placing it in the 66th percentile of all GPUs. This is a mid-range result, which aligns with the observed frame rates. The GPU’s nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, has an average benchmark score of 23181, which is 0.7% higher than the Arc B580’s 23021. This close competition is reflected in the game’s performance, where the Arc B580 manages to keep frame rates respectable but not exceptional.

The 4K results underscore the GPU’s limitations. At Ultra settings, the Arc B580 produces just 37 FPS, a figure that is not suitable for competitive play. Even at High settings, the 57.4 FPS result is borderline. The data suggests that the 12 GB VRAM is not the constraint; rather, the raw compute power of the 13.67 TFLOPS FP32 performance is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. The GPU’s 190 W TDP and 450 W suggested PSU indicate it is a power-hungry part, but its performance in this title is clearly bound by its shading and rasterization capabilities.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data provides a clear hierarchy for settings optimization. At 1920x1080, the High preset is the best choice, delivering 132.4 FPS. This is a 45.3 FPS improvement over the Ultra preset (87.1 FPS) with only a modest visual trade-off. The Medium preset at 158.3 FPS is also excellent, but High offers a better balance of fidelity and performance. For players seeking maximum smoothness, the Low preset at 221.6 FPS is available, but it is unnecessary given the High preset’s already high frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the High preset is again the recommended choice, achieving 94.2 FPS. This is comfortably above 60 FPS and provides a smooth experience. The Ultra preset at 60.6 FPS is playable but leaves little headroom for demanding scenes. The Medium preset at 116.1 FPS is a strong alternative for those who prioritize frame rate stability over visual polish. The data suggests that High is the optimal preset, as it sits in the middle of the range, offering a good balance between the 160.3 FPS of Low and the 60.6 FPS of Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the recommendation shifts to Medium settings, which produce 73.4 FPS. This is the highest preset that maintains a frame rate above 60 FPS. The High preset at 57.4 FPS is close, but the Medium preset provides a safer margin. The Low preset at 98.9 FPS is overkill for most users, while Ultra at 37 FPS is not recommended for any playable experience. The data clearly indicates that Medium is the ceiling for a smooth 4K experience with this combo.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 1234 out of 1580 tested combinations places it in the lower 22% of the database. This is a relatively low standing, but it is important to interpret this within the context of the game’s requirements. The rank is based on the overall average performance across all tested scenarios, and the Arc B580’s mid-range nature pulls the combo down. The CPU, AMD Ryzen 7 5700, is a strong performer, sitting in the 84th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 27220. This places it 0.7% ahead of the Intel Core i9-9900K and 0.8% ahead of the Intel Core i7-12700H.

The GPU, however, is the anchor. The Arc B580’s 66th percentile ranking among GPUs is below the CPU’s 84th percentile, creating an imbalance. This is reflected in the combo’s overall rank, which is dragged down by the GPU’s relative weakness. The data shows that the combo is capable of delivering high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, but its low rank suggests that many other systems with stronger GPUs can achieve higher results, particularly at 4K. The rank is a holistic measure, and while this combo is by no means a poor performer, it is not a top-tier combination for Undisputed.

This is 0.7% higher than the Intel Core i9-9900K, demonstrating its competitive edge.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with data. The benchmark data shows that as resolution increases, the frame rate drops in a pattern typical of GPU-bound scenarios. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates would plateau or drop uniformly regardless of resolution. Instead, the frame rates scale down with pixel count, proving that the Ryzen 7 5700 is not holding back the Arc B580. The CPU’s 65 W TDP and 7 nm process node also make it an efficient partner, ensuring that the system’s overall power draw remains manageable. The data supports the conclusion that this CPU is a solid foundation for the Arc B580, with the GPU being the clear determinant of final performance.
