Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the Intel Arc B570 lands in the lower-mid pack for Undisputed, a placement that reflects a balanced but not elite combination of components. The combo ranks 2256 out of 2813 tested configurations, placing it in the 20th percentile of all pairings. This suggests that while the system can deliver playable frame rates at several quality levels, it is outclassed by a substantial portion of the tested hardware pool. The ranking implies a system that will handle the game’s demands at mainstream resolutions, but it will not top any performance charts. The data indicates a pairing that is more about consistent, solid output than about pushing extreme frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s position at 2256 out of 2813 tested combinations signals a mid-tier outcome for this specific game. In percentile terms, this places the pairing in the bottom 20% of all tested combos, which is a notable finding given the individual components’ specifications. The CPU itself sits in the 81st percentile compared to all processors in the database, while the GPU is in the 65th percentile versus all graphics cards. The disparity between the CPU’s high percentile rank and the combo’s lower in-game ranking points to the GPU as the limiting factor in this pairing for Undisputed. The measured frame rates confirm this, as the system shows a clear pattern of performance scaling that follows the GPU’s capabilities rather than the CPU’s strong multi-threaded scores.

When looking at the CPU’s nearest rivals, the performance gap is razor-thin. The Ryzen 7 5800X averages a benchmark score of 29123, which is virtually identical to the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H at 29093 (a 0.1% difference) and the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 at 29245 (a -0.4% difference). These deltas are within the noise of benchmark variance, meaning the 5800X is effectively tied with those processors in synthetic tests. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT is also close at 28940, a 0.6% difference. However, these rival comparisons do not translate directly into Undisputed performance, as the game’s engine appears to depend more heavily on the graphics subsystem. The benchmark results indicate that the CPU has ample headroom, leaving the Arc B570 to dictate the final frame rates.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B570 is the decisive component in this combo’s Undisputed performance, and its specifications reveal why. The GPU is built on the Xe2-HPG architecture, codenamed Battlemage, on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It features 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units, with 18 ray tracing cores. These are paired with 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 380.0 GB/s. The memory clock runs at 2375 MHz, with an effective data rate of 19 Gbps. The base and boost clocks are both set at 2500 MHz, which is a modest clock speed for a modern GPU. This combination produces a pixel rate of 200.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 360.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance at 11.52 TFLOPS.

In Undisputed, the data shows that the GPU’s memory configuration and compute throughput are substantial enough for smooth play at lower settings, but they buckle under higher quality presets. At 1080p Low, the system achieves an average of 195 FPS, which indicates the GPU is not the bottleneck at that setting. However, as the quality increases, the frame rate drops significantly. At 1080p Medium, the average falls to 141 FPS, and at High it drops further to 116 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p yields only 75 FPS. This pattern is consistent with the GPU’s raw compute limits being reached as the game’s shader complexity and texture loads increase. The 10 GB VRAM buffer is likely sufficient for the game’s needs at these resolutions, but the 160-bit memory bus and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth may restrict performance in scenes with high memory pressure. The GPU’s percentile rank of 65 against all GPUs places it in the mid-range, which aligns with the observed frame rates.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling of frame rates across resolutions clearly illustrates where the GPU becomes the limiting factor. Starting at 1080p High, the system averages 116 FPS. Moving to 1440p High, the average drops to 84 FPS, a reduction of 32 FPS. At 4K High, the average falls to 53 FPS, marking a 63 FPS drop from 1080p. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is struggling to fill the increasing pixel counts, a classic sign of a graphics-bound workload. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, is unlikely to be the constraint at these higher resolutions, as the frame rate degradation tracks almost linearly with the pixel count increase.

The data at Medium settings reinforces this interpretation. At 1080p Medium, the average is 141 FPS, with a minimum of 120 FPS and a maximum of 162 FPS. At 1440p Medium, the average is 102 FPS, with a minimum of 86 and a maximum of 117. At 4K Medium, the average is 64 FPS, with a minimum of 55 and a maximum of 74. The drop from 1080p to 4K is 77 FPS, which is a 55% reduction. This is a larger percentage drop than what would be expected if the CPU were the bottleneck, since the CPU’s workload does not scale with resolution in the same way. The GPU’s 150 W TDP and the fact that it is a dual-slot card with a single 8-pin power connector suggest it is designed for mainstream performance, not for high-end 4K gaming. The benchmark results show that 4K is only playable at Low settings, where the average reaches 89 FPS, but the experience at Medium and above becomes increasingly choppy.

In Geekbench, it scores 11036 in multi-core and 2032 in single-core. The 3DMark tests show a score of 7586 with 16 threads and 7578 with max threads, indicating that the CPU scales well with thread count, but the single-thread score of 943 suggests that per-core performance is not its strongest attribute. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 29123, putting it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, is only 0.1% faster, which is negligible.

For Undisputed, the CPU’s role appears to be secondary to the GPU. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 195 FPS, which is far above the refresh rate of most monitors. This indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU with enough data to achieve high frame rates, but the GPU cannot maintain those rates at higher settings. The CPU’s 8 cores and 16 threads provide enough processing power for the game’s physics and AI, but the game is not particularly CPU-intensive based on the scaling data. The frame rate drops are almost entirely attributable to the GPU’s workload. The CPU’s high percentile rank compared to the GPU’s lower rank confirms that the processor is not the bottleneck in this pairing for this specific title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution and desired smoothness. At 1080p, the High preset offers an average of 116 FPS, which is excellent for most displays. The Medium preset at 1080p yields 141 FPS, which is even smoother, but the visual difference between Medium and High may not be worth the extra 25 FPS. The Low preset at 1080p reaches 195 FPS, which is overkill for standard 60 Hz or 144 Hz monitors. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 75 FPS, which is still playable, but the jump from High to Ultra costs 41 FPS. For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance at 1080p, the High preset is the recommended choice.

At 1440p, the High preset drops to 84 FPS, which is still playable but not ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The Medium preset at 1440p averages 102 FPS, providing a smoother experience with only a minor visual downgrade. The Low preset at 1440p reaches 141 FPS, which is excellent, but the visual quality may be too low for some users. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 54 FPS, which is not recommended for a fluid experience. The data suggests that Medium is the sweet spot at 1440p, as it maintains a frame rate above 100 FPS while preserving decent visual quality. The minimum FPS at 1440p Medium is 86, which indicates that even the worst-case frame drops remain above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 4K, the options are limited. The Low preset averages 89 FPS, which is playable, but the Low setting will have noticeable visual compromises. The Medium preset at 4K averages 64 FPS, with a minimum of 55 FPS, which is borderline for a smooth experience. The High preset at 4K drops to 53 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 34 FPS, which is not recommended. For 4K gaming with this combo, the Low preset is the only setting that provides a consistently smooth frame rate, while Medium is acceptable for less demanding play. The data indicates that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K reserved for lower quality presets.
