# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 5 5600F + AMD Radeon RX 7700

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and AMD Radeon RX 7700 combination delivers a robust 1080p and 1440p experience in Undisputed, with the data showing average frame rates ranging from 288 FPS at 1080p Low down to 50 FPS at 4K Ultra. This pairing sits at the 1284th position out of 2813 tested combos for this game, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the database. The CPU, a 6-core/12-thread Zen 3 part based on the Vermeer architecture, and the GPU, a 16 GB RDNA 3.0 card, work together to produce playable frame rates across most settings, though the most demanding 4K preset pushes the system to its limits.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a desktop processor built on the 7 nm TSMC process, featuring 6 cores and 12 threads. Its base clock runs at 3.00 GHz with a boost clock of 4.00 GHz, and it carries a 65 W TDP. The CPU uses the AMD Socket AM4 platform and belongs to the 5000 series, with the Zen 3 microarchitecture under the Vermeer codename. Cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. Memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel operation, and the memory bandwidth is rated at 51.2 GB/s. The processor supports PCIe Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, and it has no integrated graphics.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 5600F achieves a Passmark single-thread score of 2872 and a multithread score of 19236. Its average benchmark score is 36945, which places it at the 85th percentile among all CPUs in the database. The nearest rivals show how closely this chip competes: the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores 36938 with a delta of 0%, meaning they are statistically identical. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D scores 37018 (0.2% higher), the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 scores 37093 (0.4% higher), and the Intel Core i9-12900T scores 37112 (0.5% higher). These minuscule deltas indicate that the 5600F is trading blows with a wide range of modern processors, and its performance in Undisputed is consistent with this mid-pack positioning.

For a sports title like Undisputed, which is typically not heavily threaded, the 6-core/12-thread configuration is more than sufficient. The high single-thread score of 2872 ensures that the game's main simulation and physics loops are handled without bottlenecking. The 32 MB shared L3 cache helps with data locality during gameplay, and the PCIe Gen 4 support allows the GPU to communicate at full bandwidth. The 65 W TDP means the CPU runs cool and leaves thermal headroom for sustained gaming sessions, which is relevant because the data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the system reaches 288 FPS — a figure that is likely CPU-bound or at least approaching that threshold, given the GPU's capabilities at lower resolutions.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Radeon RX 7700 is a Radeon RX 7000 series graphics card built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the Navi 32 chip and the codename Wheat Nas. The GPU is fabricated on a 5 nm TSMC process and contains 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die. Its base clock is 1900 MHz, the boost clock reaches 2459 MHz, and the game clock is rated at 2041 MHz. The memory subsystem is a highlight: 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, running at 2438 MHz (19.5 Gbps effective) for a bandwidth of 624.1 GB/s. This large VRAM pool and high bandwidth are critical for Undisputed at high resolutions, where texture data and frame buffers can consume significant memory.

The GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 96 ROPs, and 40 ray tracing cores. Its pixel rate is 236.1 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 393.4 GTexel/s. Compute performance is rated at 25.18 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16. The card draws up to 200 W and requires a 550 W suggested PSU, with dual-slot cooling and 2x 8-pin power connectors. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and offers display outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1a, 2x DisplayPort 2.1, and 1x USB Type-C. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

In benchmark tests, the RX 7700 achieves a Passmark G3D score of 20974 and a GPU compute score of 10963. Its average benchmark score is 15852, placing it at the 58th percentile among all GPUs. The nearest rivals reveal a tight grouping: the AMD Radeon R9 370X scores 15862 (0.1% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 9060 scores 16014 (1% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro W5500 scores 15679 (1.1% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scores 16129 (1.7% higher). This puts the RX 7700 in a competitive bracket where small percentage differences separate it from older and newer cards alike.

For Undisputed, the 16 GB VRAM is a significant asset, especially at 4K Ultra where the game's asset streaming can demand substantial memory. The 624.1 GB/s bandwidth ensures that texture fetches and shadow maps are delivered quickly, which is reflected in the measured FPS at 4K Medium where the card sustains 95 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS. The 96 ROPs handle pixel fill rates efficiently, and the 40 RT cores provide ray tracing capability, though Undisputed does not appear to leverage RT heavily based on the frame rate data.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combined CPU-GPU pairing ranks 1284th out of 2813 tested combinations for Undisputed, placing it just below the median of all tested systems. This rank of 1284 with 2813 total combos means approximately 45.6% of tested systems perform better, and 54.4% perform worse. The rank reflects the balanced nature of this pairing: the CPU is at the 85th percentile among all processors, while the GPU is at the 58th percentile among all graphics cards. The combination is therefore limited more by the GPU than the CPU, which is typical for a sports title at high resolutions.

The data shows that this combo is neither a top-tier enthusiast setup nor a budget compromise. It sits in the upper-middle range where it can handle 1080p and 1440p with high frame rates, but it falls short of the performance needed for 4K Ultra at high refresh rates. The rank of 1284 out of 2813 indicates that the vast majority of better-performing combos likely feature higher-end GPUs, such as those from the RX 7900 series or RTX 4070 class, which have more shading units and higher bandwidth. Conversely, the combos ranked lower than 1284 are likely held back by older or weaker GPUs that cannot match the RX 7700's 16 GB VRAM and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth.

The percentile data for the individual components reinforces this analysis. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking means it is not the limiting factor in most scenarios; the GPU's 58th percentile ranking is the bottleneck. This is evident in the measured FPS: at 1080p Low, the system hits 288 FPS, which is near the practical limit for many displays, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 50 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a 82.6% drop in frame rate at Low settings (from 288 to 132 FPS) and a 54.5% drop at Ultra (from 110 to 50 FPS), indicating that the GPU is increasingly stressed as resolution increases.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS across settings shows a wide spread. Low settings deliver 288 FPS, which is an extremely high frame rate suitable for competitive play or high-refresh monitors. Medium settings drop to 207 FPS, with a minimum of 176 FPS and a maximum of 238 FPS, indicating consistent performance with minor fluctuations. High settings yield 171 FPS, a solid figure for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings bring the average down to 110 FPS, which is still playable but shows the impact of the most demanding graphics options. The range from 288 to 110 FPS at 1080p demonstrates that the RX 7700 has ample headroom at this resolution, and the CPU is likely the primary driver of the peak frame rates.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but show the GPU's increased workload. Low settings produce 208 FPS, a 27.8% reduction from 1080p Low. Medium settings average 150 FPS, with a minimum of 127 FPS and a maximum of 172 FPS, maintaining smoothness with some variance. High settings deliver 124 FPS, which is excellent for 1440p gaming. Ultra settings drop to 80 FPS, which is still above the 60 FPS threshold for most displays but shows the upper limit of this GPU at this resolution. The transition from Low to Ultra at 1440p spans 128 FPS, from 208 to 80, highlighting the significant performance cost of Ultra presets.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates reveal the GPU's limitations. Low settings average 132 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K, but Medium settings drop to 95 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS and a maximum of 109 FPS, showing some instability. High settings yield 78 FPS, which is playable but not ideal for high-refresh 4K displays. Ultra settings plummet to 50 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS standard and indicates that this setting is not recommended for 4K gaming with this combo. The 4K results show a clear pattern: the RX 7700 can handle 4K at Low to High settings, but Ultra is too demanding.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The scaling from 1080p to 4K across the different settings reveals the nature of the bottleneck in this system. At Low settings, the frame rate drops from 288 FPS at 1080p to 208 FPS at 1440p (a 27.8% reduction) and then to 132 FPS at 4K (a 36.5% reduction from 1440p). This totals a 54.2% drop from 1080p to 4K. At Medium settings, the progression is 207 FPS to 150 FPS to 95 FPS, representing a 27.5% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 36.7% drop from 1440p to 4K, for a total reduction of 54.1%. At High settings, the numbers are 171 FPS to 124 FPS to 78 FPS, with drops of 27.5% and 37.1% respectively, totaling 54.4%. At Ultra settings, the progression is 110 FPS to 80 FPS to 50 FPS, with drops of 27.3% and 37.5%, totaling 54.5%.

The nearly identical percentage drops across all four settings — consistently around 27-28% from 1080p to 1440p and 36-37% from 1440p to 4K — indicate that the scaling is resolution-driven and not settings-driven. This is a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario. The RX 7700's rendering workload scales almost linearly with pixel count, and the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads are not becoming a bottleneck at higher resolutions, as evidenced by the smooth scaling pattern. The fact that Low settings drop by the same percentage as Ultra settings (around 54% total) confirms that the GPU is the limiting component across all settings.

The min FPS data at Medium settings provides additional insight. At 1080p, the minimum is 176 FPS, which is 85% of the average. At 1440p, the minimum is 127 FPS, which is 84.7% of the average. At 4K, the minimum is 80 FPS, which is 84.2% of the average. The consistency of these ratios suggests that frame time variance is stable across resolutions, and the GPU is delivering predictable performance without sudden spikes or drops. This is a positive indicator for gameplay smoothness, even at the lower 4K frame rates.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend on the target resolution and refresh rate. At 1920x1080, the High preset at 171 FPS is the best balance, as it provides a frame rate well above 144 Hz for high-refresh monitors while maintaining visual quality. The Ultra preset at 110 FPS is also viable for 120 Hz displays, but the 35.7% performance cost over High (171 to 110 FPS) may not justify the visual improvements. The Medium preset at 207 FPS is excessive for most displays, and Low at 288 FPS is only useful for competitive scenarios where maximum frame rate is prioritized over graphics.

At 2560x1440, the High preset at 124 FPS is the recommended choice, as it comfortably exceeds 60 FPS and approaches 120 Hz territory. The Medium preset at 150 FPS offers even more headroom, but the jump to High provides better visual fidelity with only a 17.3% frame rate reduction (150 to 124 FPS). The Ultra preset at 80 FPS is playable on 75 Hz or 80 Hz displays, but it represents a 35.5% drop from High (124 to 80 FPS), which may be noticeable in fast-paced gameplay. The Low preset at 208 FPS is overkill for most 1440p monitors and sacrifices too much visual quality.

At 3840x2160, the Medium preset at 95 FPS is the best option for a smooth 4K experience, as it maintains a frame rate above 90 FPS with a minimum of 80 FPS, ensuring no drops below the 60 FPS threshold. The High preset at 78 FPS is also viable for 60 Hz displays, but it is only 17.9% faster than Ultra (78 to 50 FPS), while Medium is 21.8% faster than High (95 to 78 FPS). The Low preset at 132 FPS is the only setting that reaches high-refresh 4K territory, but the visual trade-offs are substantial. The Ultra preset at 50 FPS is not recommended, as it falls below the 60 FPS standard and would result in noticeable stuttering on most 4K displays. For the best overall experience across all resolutions, the High preset offers the most consistent balance of visual quality and frame rate, with the Medium preset as a strong alternative at 4K.
