Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the Intel Arc B580 presents a compelling dataset for analyzing performance in Undisputed. This combination, ranked 2794 out of 3718 tested combos, places it in the 75th percentile, indicating a solidly above-average pairing for this title. The measured FPS values across resolutions and settings reveal distinct bottlenecks and scaling behaviors that are critical for understanding the system's true capabilities.

Resolution Scaling

The data shows a classic pattern of GPU-bound performance degradation as resolution increases. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves an average of 221 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops this to 160 FPS, a 27.6% reduction. The step to 4K at Low settings yields 101 FPS, a further 36.9% drop from 1440p. This steep decline from 1080p to 4K—a 54.3% total reduction in average FPS—indicates that the Intel Arc B580 is the primary limiting component at higher resolutions, with the CPU having ample headroom to feed frames at lower pixel counts.

The scaling pattern shifts when moving to higher settings. At Ultra settings, the frame rate drops from 85 FPS at 1080p to 61 FPS at 1440p (a 28.2% reduction) and then to 39 FPS at 4K (a 36.1% reduction from 1440p). This consistent ~28% drop between 1080p and 1440p across Low, Medium, and Ultra settings (27.6%, 27.7%, and 28.2% respectively) suggests a linear relationship with pixel count increase. However, the 4K transition shows a more pronounced penalty at higher settings, with Ultra dropping 36.1% versus 36.9% at Low. This marginal difference indicates that while the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, the additional shading and texture work at Ultra settings does not disproportionately worsen the 4K experience.

The 1080p to 4K scaling at High settings is particularly telling. The combo produces 132 FPS at 1080p, 95 FPS at 1440p (a 28.0% drop), and 60 FPS at 4K (a 36.8% drop from 1440p). This pattern mirrors the Low settings curve almost exactly, suggesting that in Undisputed, the resolution scaling penalty is largely independent of the quality preset. The data implies that the Arc B580's rendering pipeline, rather than memory bandwidth or texture cache, dictates these scaling ratios. With a 192-bit memory bus and 456.0 GB/s bandwidth, the card appears to handle the increased pixel throughput predictably across all settings.

GPU Role

The Intel Arc B580's specifications directly explain its performance characteristics in this game. With 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, the card has both substantial capacity and a bandwidth of 456.0 GB/s. This memory configuration supports the 4K Ultra result of 39 FPS, which, while low, indicates the card can address the memory demands without falling to unplayable levels. The 60 FPS average at 4K High settings represents a playable threshold, suggesting the card's 12 GB allocation is sufficient for this title's texture and geometry data at 4K.

The clock behavior is notable: the base and boost clocks are both listed at 2670 MHz, indicating a fixed operating point. This steady clock rate, combined with the 2560 shading units and 80 ROPs, produces a pixel rate of 213.6 GPixel/s. This pixel throughput explains why 4K Low (101 FPS) is nearly 2.5 times faster than 4K Ultra (39 FPS) — the reduced shading complexity at Low settings allows the ROPs to operate closer to their theoretical limit. The texture rate of 427.2 GTexel/s, driven by 160 TMUs, is a likely contributor to the diminishing returns seen when moving from Medium to Ultra, where the additional texture filtering demands more from the fixed clock.

The Arc B580's position relative to its nearest rivals contextualizes its Undisputed performance. The GPU's average benchmark score of 23021 places it within 0.7% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, which has an average score of 23172. This near-parity in synthetic tests suggests that the 39 FPS 4K Ultra result is not a driver optimization issue but rather a genuine reflection of the card's computational throughput. The 68th percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates that while not a top-tier card, it sits comfortably above the median, and the measured frame rates in Undisputed align with this positioning — solidly playable at 1080p and 1440p, with 4K reserved for lower presets.

A: The combo ranks 2794 out of 3718 tested combinations. This places it in the 75th percentile, meaning it outperforms approximately 75% of all tested CPU-GPU pairings in Undisputed. This is a strong result, given that the GPU alone sits in the 68th percentile.

How This Combo Ranks

The rank of 2794 out of 3718 combos places this system in the upper quartile for Undisputed performance. This ranking is notable because the individual components have mixed percentile positions: the CPU is in the 81st percentile while the GPU is in the 68th. The combo's 75th percentile ranking suggests that the CPU's strength compensates for the GPU's relative weakness, particularly at lower resolutions where the Ryzen 7 5800X's 8 cores and 16 threads can push frame rates higher.

The CPU's nearest rival data provides context for this ranking. The Ryzen 7 5800X has an average benchmark score of 29123, sitting just 0.1% above the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and 0.5% below the Intel Core i5-13500HX. This tight grouping indicates that the CPU is not a differentiator in this combo's ranking; instead, the GPU determines the ceiling. The Arc B580's nearest rivals include the RTX 2080 (0.6% faster) and RTX 3080 (0.7% faster), placing the card in a performance tier that, when combined with a strong CPU, achieves this 75th percentile result.

The practical implication of this rank is that the system excels at 1080p and 1440p gaming. At 1080p, every settings preset except Ultra exceeds 85 FPS, and at 1440p, High and Medium both exceed 95 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 39 FPS is the only measured configuration that falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold, and this aligns with the combo's overall ranking — good but not elite, with clear limitations at the most demanding settings.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on Zen 3 architecture, provides substantial processing headroom for Undisputed. The measured frame rates show that the CPU is rarely the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the 221 FPS result, while impressive, likely approaches the CPU's maximum frame generation capability, but it does not represent a hard bottleneck — the GPU is still the constraint at this resolution and setting.

The CPU's boost clock of 4.70 GHz, combined with its 32 MB of L3 cache, supports high single-thread performance. The 3dmark single-thread score of 943 and the passmark single-thread score of 3445 are strong indicators that the CPU can handle the physics and AI calculations required by this sports title. The 16 threads allow for efficient multi-tasking, and the cinebench r23 multicore score of 15476 suggests that even if Undisputed were to use more than 8 threads, the CPU would not be a bottleneck.

The CPU's 81st percentile ranking, with an average benchmark score of 29123, places it 0.1% above the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H and 0.6% above the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT. This margin is small, but in Undisputed, the CPU's capability is evident in the high frame rates at lower resolutions. At 4K, the CPU's role diminishes, as the GPU's pixel throughput becomes the limiting factor. The data shows that from 1440p to 4K, the average FPS drops by 36-37%, which is consistent with GPU-bound behavior, confirming that the CPU has no trouble keeping up with the Arc B580's output at any measured resolution or setting.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers a wide range of performance depending on settings. Low settings produce an average of 221 FPS, which is the highest measured result in the dataset. Medium settings average 159 FPS, with a minimum of 135 and maximum of 183 FPS. High settings average 132 FPS, while Ultra settings drop to 85 FPS. This represents a 61.5% reduction from Low to Ultra, illustrating the significant cost of the Ultra preset's additional effects.

At 2560x1440, the performance scales down predictably. Low settings average 160 FPS, Medium settings average 115 FPS (with a range of 98 to 132 FPS), High settings average 95 FPS, and Ultra settings average 61 FPS. The 1440p results show that even at Ultra, the combo maintains a playable frame rate, though the 61 FPS average leaves little headroom for demanding scenes.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become apparent. Low settings average 101 FPS, which is still highly playable. Medium settings average 73 FPS (ranging from 62 to 84 FPS), High settings average 60 FPS, and Ultra settings average 39 FPS. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration in the entire dataset that falls below 60 FPS, and it indicates that this resolution and preset combination should be avoided for competitive play.

The medium settings data is the most detailed, with reported minimum and maximum FPS values for all three resolutions. At 1080p, the range is 135 to 183 FPS; at 1440p, it is 98 to 132 FPS; at 4K, it is 62 to 84 FPS. The relative spread — about 30% of the average — remains consistent across resolutions, suggesting that the frame pacing characteristics are stable regardless of pixel count.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings for this combo depend on the target resolution. At 1080p, High settings (132 FPS) provide an excellent balance, offering a 55.3% improvement over Ultra (85 FPS) while maintaining high visual quality. Medium settings (159 FPS) are also viable for users prioritizing frame rate, but the jump from Medium to High (a 17.0% reduction) is more palatable than the jump from High to Ultra (a 35.6% reduction). For competitive play, Low settings (221 FPS) maximize responsiveness, but the visual trade-off is substantial.

At 1440p, High settings (95 FPS) are the recommended choice. This preset delivers a smooth experience that exceeds the 60 FPS threshold by 58.3%, and it is only 17.4% slower than Medium (115 FPS) while providing better image quality. Ultra at 1440p (61 FPS) is playable but leaves no margin for performance dips, making it a risky choice for online play. Low at 1440p (160 FPS) is overkill for most users, as the visual degradation outweighs the frame rate benefit beyond 144 FPS.

At 4K, High settings (60 FPS) are the maximum recommended preset. This configuration hits the 60 FPS target exactly, providing a playable experience. Medium settings (73 FPS) offer a 21.7% improvement over High and are a better choice if the visual difference between Medium and High is not critical. Low settings (101 FPS) are the best option for 4K gaming, delivering a highly fluid experience. Ultra at 4K (39 FPS) should be avoided, as the 35.0% reduction from High (60 FPS) does not justify the visual upgrade, which is likely imperceptible at this pixel density.

The data clearly indicates that High settings are the sweet spot for this combo across all resolutions. At 1080p and 1440p, High provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, while at 4K, it hits the target exactly. For users with high-refresh-rate monitors, Medium settings at 1080p (159 FPS) or 1440p (115 FPS) can be justified, but the incremental gains over High diminish rapidly. The Ultra preset, while visually impressive at 1080p (85 FPS) and 1440p (61 FPS), introduces a significant performance penalty that is only worth accepting at 1080p, where the 85 FPS average remains fluid.
