Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 produces a highly resolution-sensitive experience in Undisputed. The data shows a clear progression where frame rates scale directly with pixel count, but the degree of the drop reveals a system that is heavily constrained by the graphics card at higher resolutions, while the CPU provides a stable foundation at lower settings. This combination ranks 1524th out of 1580 tested combos, placing it in the lower percentile of systems for this title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for Undisputed shows a steep and consistent decline as resolution increases, which is the classic signature of a GPU-bound system. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo delivers an average of 111.1 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops this to 82.8 FPS, a reduction of approximately 25%. At 4K Low, the average falls to 53.5 FPS, which is roughly half of the 1080p result. This scaling pattern indicates that while the CPU can feed frames at lower resolutions, the RX 570’s rendering capabilities become the limiting factor as the pixel workload expands.

The impact of resolution becomes more pronounced at higher graphical presets. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 65.4 FPS at 1080p to 46.6 FPS at 1440p, and then to just 29.9 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic degradation: 40.4 FPS at 1080p falls to 32.0 FPS at 1440p and crashes to 17.4 FPS at 4K. The 4K Ultra result of 17.4 FPS is unplayable, and even the 4K Medium result of 34.0 FPS is marginal. The data suggests that 1080p is the only viable resolution for this combo across all settings, with 1440p being acceptable only at Low or Medium presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.20 GHz. Its benchmark scores indicate a balanced performer: the Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 16429 points and a single-core score of 2319 points show a processor that is capable of handling modern game logic without becoming a bottleneck at moderate frame rates. The 3DMark max threads score of 5411 and single-thread score of 836 further confirm that the CPU has sufficient throughput for a sports title like Undisputed, which typically does not stress more than a few cores heavily.

However, the CPU’s role in this specific combo is secondary. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system reaches 111.1 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of driving frame rates well above the 60 FPS threshold. The 3DMark 16-thread score of 5386 and 8-thread score of 4593 indicate that multi-threaded performance is solid, but the game does not appear to be CPU-limited based on the resolution scaling. If the CPU were the primary constraint, we would expect the FPS to remain relatively flat across resolutions at a given preset. Instead, the FPS drops by more than half from 1080p to 4K at every preset, proving that the processor is not the limiting component in this configuration.

The Ryzen 5 5500’s performance relative to its nearest rivals is essentially a statistical tie. It sits 0.1% below the Intel Core i5-12500 and the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE, and 0.1% above the AMD EPYC 7J13. This places the CPU in a competitive position for its class, but its average benchmark score of 20875 does not translate into an advantage in Undisputed when paired with this GPU, as the graphics card is the dominant factor in the measured results.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the primary driver of the performance profile in Undisputed. This GPU features a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz, with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus providing a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The 2048 shading units and 32 ROPs are modest by modern standards, and the 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 compute capability is the key limitation at higher resolutions. The 4 GB VRAM capacity is also a concern, as 4K textures in a sports title can easily exceed this amount, leading to potential texture thrashing and the severe frame rate drops observed.

The GPU’s benchmark scores show it is an older part, with a Geekbench OpenCL score of 32084 and a Vulkan score of 42752. Its average benchmark score of 30158 places it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs, but its nearest rivals in the data are significantly newer and more powerful parts. The RX 570 is listed as being 0.2% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT in average score, which is a misleading comparison given the age difference, but the data is what it is. The GPU’s memory clock of 1750 MHz (7 Gbps effective) is fixed, and the 224.0 GB/s bandwidth is insufficient for the demands of 4K rendering in Undisputed, as evidenced by the 17.4 FPS Ultra result.

The measured FPS data directly reflects the GPU’s limitations. At 1080p, the RX 570 can maintain playable frame rates, with 65.4 FPS at High and 76.9 FPS at Medium. The jump to 1440p exposes the GPU’s weakness, with High dropping to 46.6 FPS and Ultra to 32.0 FPS. At 4K, the GPU is clearly overwhelmed, as even Low settings only yield 53.5 FPS, and the Ultra preset produces a slideshow-like 17.4 FPS. The data indicates that the RX 570’s compute power and VRAM capacity are simply not adequate for 4K gaming in this title, and users should consider 1080p as the practical ceiling for acceptable performance.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution and settings for this combo in Undisputed?*

A: The data shows that 1080p is the only resolution where the combo consistently exceeds 60 FPS. At 1080p Low, the average is 111.1 FPS, and at High it is 65.4 FPS. For a stable 60 FPS experience, 1080p High is the recommended target, as 1440p High drops to 46.6 FPS.

*Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 4K?*

A: Technically yes, but only at Low settings, where it achieves 53.5 FPS. At Medium, the average drops to 34.0 FPS, and at Ultra it falls to 17.4 FPS. These results indicate that 4K is not a practical option for smooth gameplay.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in this configuration?

A: The GPU is the clear bottleneck. The FPS drops by over 50% from 1080p to 4K at every preset, which is a definitive sign of GPU limitation. If the CPU were the constraint, the frame rates would be more consistent across resolutions.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest competitors?

A: The Ryzen 5 5500’s average benchmark score of 20875 is nearly identical to its rivals. It is 0.1% slower than the Intel Core i5-12500 and AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4655GE, and 0.1% faster than the AMD EPYC 7J13. This indicates the CPU is not a differentiator in performance.

Q: Is 4 GB of VRAM sufficient for this game?

A: At 1080p and 1440p, the 4 GB VRAM appears sufficient based on the measured FPS. However, at 4K, the significant drop in performance, particularly at Ultra (17.4 FPS), suggests that the VRAM capacity is a limiting factor for high-resolution textures.

*Q: What is the overall ranking of this combo for Undisputed?*

A: This combination ranks 1524th out of 1580 tested combos, placing it in the bottom 4% of all systems tested for this game. This reflects the GPU’s age and the demands of the title at higher settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 + AMD Radeon RX 570 combination ranks 1524th out of 1580 tested combos for Undisputed. This places the system in the lowest 4% of all configurations, indicating that it is at the extreme low end of the performance spectrum for this game. The ranking is a direct consequence of the GPU’s limitations, as the RX 570’s 4 GB VRAM and 5.095 TFLOPS compute power are insufficient for the game’s higher resolutions and presets.

The data shows that this combo is only competitive at 1080p. At that resolution, the system delivers playable frame rates across all presets, from 111.1 FPS at Low to 40.4 FPS at Ultra. However, the performance collapse at 1440p and 4K is severe, with the Ultra preset at 4K producing just 17.4 FPS. This places the combo firmly in the "legacy" category, suitable for esports-level settings at 1080p but not for modern high-fidelity gaming.

Given the rank of 1524 out of 1580, the system is clearly at the tail end of the distribution. The CPU’s performance is respectable—its nearest rivals are all within 0.2% of its average score—but the GPU’s age and limitations drag the overall system performance down. Users with this combo should expect to play Undisputed at 1080p with reduced settings to achieve a smooth experience, as the data shows that any attempt to push higher resolutions will result in frame rates that fall below the playable threshold. The measured FPS data is the definitive guide: 1080p is the only viable resolution, and even then, the Ultra preset at 40.4 FPS is borderline.
