Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination ranks 555th out of 2,813 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the top 20% of all systems evaluated for this title. This is a strong position, but the data suggests that the pairing's performance is not uniform across all settings and resolutions. The high rank is likely driven by the GPU's ability to maintain high frame rates at lower settings, while the CPU's mid-range standing among its peers creates a bottleneck at higher presets. The percentile rankings of the individual components—85th for the CPU and 82nd for the GPU—are closely aligned, which typically indicates a balanced system, yet the measured FPS reveals a more complex story. The data shows that the combination excels at delivering silky-smooth gameplay at 1080p, but the gap between Low and Ultra settings widens dramatically as resolution increases, suggesting that the GPU is the primary driver of performance at higher fidelity levels.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 555 out of 2,813 tested configurations is a strong showing, placing it above roughly 80% of all tested systems in Undisputed. This position is consistent with the component-level benchmarks: the Ryzen 5 5600F's average benchmark score of 36,945 places it in the 85th percentile of all CPUs, while the RTX 5070's average score of 40,377 puts it in the 82nd percentile of all GPUs. The near-identical percentile rankings suggest that neither component is severely bottlenecking the other in general workloads. However, the game-specific results show that the GPU can pull far ahead of the CPU's capabilities at lower settings, indicating that the processor is the limiting factor when the graphics load is light.

The CPU's nearest rivals include the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 with a delta of 0%, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D at -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 at -0.4%. These are all extremely close scores, with the Ryzen 5 5600F essentially matching the performance of these processors. The Intel Core i9-12900T is just 0.5% ahead, which is within the margin of error. This clustering suggests that the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration is perfectly adequate for Undisputed's requirements, and its 3.00 GHz base clock boosting to 4.00 GHz provides enough single-thread throughput. The GPU's nearest rivals, while less relevant to the final ranking, include the AMD Radeon Pro 580 at 0.1% ahead and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 at 0.8% ahead, showing that the RTX 5070 is competitive with workstation-class cards in synthetic benchmarks.

What the rank does not show is the variability in performance across different settings. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 400 FPS, while at 4K Ultra it drops to 70 FPS. This massive range means that the rank of 555 is an average across all settings and resolutions. For players who prioritize maximum frame rates, the combo performs far better than its rank suggests, but for those who want maxed-out visuals at 4K, the experience is less impressive. The data implies that the combo is best suited for high-refresh-rate 1080p or 1440p gaming, where it can comfortably exceed 100 FPS even at Ultra settings.

GPU Role

The RTX 5070's memory configuration is a key factor in its performance. With 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, the card delivers a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. This is substantial for a sports title like Undisputed, which does not typically require massive texture loads. The memory clock is 1750 MHz, operating at 28 Gbps effective, which is more than sufficient for the game's demands. The GPU's 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 80 ROPs provide the raw compute power needed to drive high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p.

The core clocks are 2325 MHz base and 2512 MHz boost, which are relatively modest for a high-end card, but the Blackwell 2.0 architecture's efficiency compensates for the clock speed. The 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 performance is a strong indicator of the card's rasterization capabilities. In the measured FPS data, the GPU's strength is evident at lower settings where the CPU is not a limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 400 FPS, and at 1440p Low it reaches 289 FPS. These numbers suggest that the GPU has significant headroom even when paired with a mid-range CPU.

The GPU's percentile ranking of 82nd among all GPUs is slightly lower than the CPU's 85th percentile, but the in-game results show the GPU is often the component pushing the frame rate higher. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 5,077 and the Geekbench Vulkan score of 178,923 indicate strong DirectX 12 and Vulkan performance, which is relevant since Undisputed likely uses one of these APIs. The PassMark G3D score of 29,137 is also respectable. The GPU's 250 W TDP and dual-slot design suggest it requires adequate cooling, but the data does not show any thermal throttling in the measured results.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers exceptional performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 400 FPS, which is the highest measured value in the entire dataset. Medium settings achieve 288 FPS with a minimum of 245 FPS and a maximum of 331 FPS, showing excellent consistency. High settings reach 238 FPS, while Ultra settings still manage a very playable 153 FPS. This resolution is where the combo excels, providing frame rates that far exceed the refresh rates of most monitors.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance remains strong but shows a more pronounced drop as settings increase. Low settings achieve 289 FPS, which is still excellent. Medium settings deliver 208 FPS with a minimum of 177 FPS and a maximum of 239 FPS, maintaining smooth gameplay. High settings reach 172 FPS, while Ultra settings drop to 111 FPS. The data shows that even at 1440p Ultra, the combo provides a solid experience for competitive play.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more variable. Low settings achieve 183 FPS, which is surprisingly high for 4K. Medium settings produce 132 FPS with a minimum of 112 FPS and a maximum of 151 FPS, indicating some frame pacing issues but still playable. High settings drop to 109 FPS, which is on the edge of smoothness for some players. Ultra settings fall to 70 FPS, which is the only setting where the combo fails to maintain a high frame rate. The 4K results show a clear pattern: the GPU is working hard, and the frame rate drops become more significant with each setting increase.

Settings Recommendations

The data indicates that the "sweet spot" for this combo is High settings at 2560x1440. At this configuration, the combo achieves 172 FPS, which is well above the 144 Hz refresh rate commonly found on modern gaming monitors. This provides a smooth, responsive experience without the performance hit of Ultra settings. For players with 1080p displays, High settings at 238 FPS are also an excellent choice, offering near-maximum frame rates with better visual fidelity than Medium.

If the goal is to maximize visual quality, Ultra settings at 1440p are viable at 111 FPS, which is still above 60 FPS and suitable for most games. However, the jump from High to Ultra at 1440p costs 61 FPS, which is a significant trade-off for the visual improvements. At 4K, the data suggests that Medium settings at 132 FPS provide the best balance between visual quality and performance. High settings at 109 FPS are also acceptable, but the 70 FPS at Ultra may cause noticeable stuttering on some displays.

For competitive players who prioritize frame rate above all else, Low settings at 1080p (400 FPS) or 1440p (289 FPS) are the clear choices. The Medium settings at 1080p (288 FPS) offer a better balance, with only a 112 FPS drop from Low but significantly improved visuals. The data consistently shows that Medium settings provide a large performance boost over High and Ultra while maintaining acceptable visual fidelity.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Vermeer. It has a base clock of 3.00 GHz that boosts to 4.00 GHz, and it supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The CPU's 32 MB of shared L3 cache is a key feature for gaming performance, as it allows for faster access to frequently used data. The processor is manufactured on a 7 nm process node by TSMC, with 4,150 million transistors on a 74 mm² die.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is primarily to handle game logic, physics, and AI calculations. The 12 threads are sufficient for a sports title, which typically does not scale beyond 8 threads. The PassMark multithread score of 19,236 and single-thread score of 2,872 indicate balanced performance. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking among all CPUs confirms that it is a capable processor for this game. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the combo achieves 400 FPS, which is likely near the CPU's maximum frame delivery limit, suggesting that the CPU is the bottleneck at this setting.

The CPU's nearest rivals all have average benchmark scores within 0.5% of the Ryzen 5 5600F, indicating that there is no meaningful performance difference between these processors in Undisputed. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225, the AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 would all produce nearly identical frame rates when paired with the same GPU. This means that the CPU is not a differentiating factor in this combo's performance ranking.

Resolution Scaling

The data reveals a clear pattern in how the combo's performance scales with resolution. From 1080p to 1440p, the average FPS across all settings drops by approximately 28%. From 1440p to 4K, the drop is more severe, at approximately 37%. This progressive decline is typical of a GPU-bound scenario, where the graphics card becomes the limiting factor as the pixel count increases.

At Low settings, the scaling is particularly telling. The combo achieves 400 FPS at 1080p, 289 FPS at 1440p, and 183 FPS at 4K. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 111 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is 106 FPS. This near-linear scaling suggests that the GPU is being fully utilized at each resolution. At Ultra settings, the scaling is more dramatic: 153 FPS at 1080p, 111 FPS at 1440p, and 70 FPS at 4K. The 1440p to 4K drop of 41 FPS represents a 37% reduction, indicating that the GPU's rendering load is increasing faster than its raw compute power can handle.

The data suggests that the limiting component shifts with resolution. At 1080p, the CPU is the bottleneck, as evidenced by the 400 FPS cap at Low settings. At 4K, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck, as the frame rate drops to 70 FPS at Ultra settings. The crossover point appears to be around 1440p, where both components are balanced. This analysis is supported by the fact that the 1440p High result of 172 FPS is a reasonable middle ground between the CPU-limited 1080p results and the GPU-limited 4K results.
