Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 580 presents a distinct performance profile in Undisputed, a sports title released in 2023. This combination ranks 2568th out of 2813 tested combos, placing it in the lower quartile of system configurations. The data shows a clear pattern: the RX 580, an end-of-life GPU from 2017 built on the 14 nm Polaris 20 chip, becomes the limiting factor as resolution climbs, while the Ryzen 5 7400F provides ample headroom. This analysis walks through the measured FPS data, CPU and GPU characteristics, and what they mean for actual gameplay.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS across resolutions reveals how this combo scales under increasing pixel count. At 1920x1080, the system delivers playable framerates across all settings. Low settings produce 122 FPS average, Medium yields 88 FPS, High drops to 73 FPS, and Ultra falls to 47 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages decline proportionally: Low hits 88 FPS, Medium 64 FPS, High 53 FPS, and Ultra 34 FPS. At 3840x2160, the strain becomes severe: Low manages 56 FPS, Medium 40 FPS, High 33 FPS, and Ultra plummets to 21 FPS.

The scaling pattern is telling. From 1080p Low to 1440p Low, the FPS drops from 122 to 88, a reduction of roughly 28%. From 1440p Low to 4K Low, it falls from 88 to 56, another 36% decline. This consistent degradation across every setting tier indicates that the RX 580’s rendering throughput—not the CPU—is the primary constraint. The GPU’s 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth, but the Polaris 20 chip’s compute capacity, rated at 6.175 TFLOPS FP32, simply cannot sustain higher framerates at elevated resolutions.

At 4K Ultra, the 21 FPS average is barely interactive. The gap between 4K Low (56 FPS) and 4K Ultra (21 FPS) spans 35 FPS, showing how dramatically settings affect the GPU’s workload. Meanwhile, the CPU’s role in this scaling is minimal. The Ryzen 5 7400F, with 6 cores and 12 threads, has a boost clock of 4.70 GHz and a base clock of 3.70 GHz. Its single-thread performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072, is far above what a sports game at these framerates would require. The bottleneck is unambiguously the GPU.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2568 out of 2813 puts this configuration in the bottom 9% of all tested combinations. This low standing is not surprising given the RX 580’s age and tier. The GPU’s percentileVsAllGpus is 53, meaning it sits near the middle of all GPUs in the database, but its actual game performance lags behind more modern parts. The CPU, by contrast, performs admirably: the Ryzen 5 7400F has a percentileVsAllCpus of 83, placing it in the top 17% of processors tested.

When comparing the CPU to its nearest rivals, the data shows tight clustering. The Intel Core i5-14600T has an average benchmark score of 32707, a deltaPct of 0.1% relative to the Ryzen 5 7400F’s 32750 average. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32697 (0.2% delta), while the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812 (-0.2% delta). The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 rounds out the group at 32662 (0.3% delta). These differences are negligible—within fractions of a percent—meaning the Ryzen 5 7400F delivers compute performance on par with these competitors. The 83rd percentile ranking reflects that strength.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals tell a similar story of mediocrity. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile scores 12940 in average benchmarks, a -0.1% delta from the RX 580’s 12928. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER scores 12986 (-0.4% delta), the AMD Radeon 740M scores 12870 (0.5% delta), and the AMD FirePro W5100 scores 12847 (0.6% delta). The RX 580’s 53rd percentile ranking places it in the middle of the pack, but in a demanding modern title like Undisputed, that mid-tier standing translates to the low combo rank observed here.

The discrepancy between CPU percentile (83) and GPU percentile (53) highlights an imbalance. This combo is constrained by its graphics card, and the measured FPS data confirms that no resolution or setting combination allows the CPU to stretch its legs. Even at 1080p Low, where the system achieves 122 FPS, the GPU is still the limiting factor—the CPU could likely push far higher if paired with a stronger graphics solution.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F is a 7000-series desktop processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael. It uses a 5 nm process from TSMC, with 6,570 million transistors on a 71 mm² die. The chip has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 4.70 GHz. Its cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 over a dual-channel bus, providing 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The CPU supports ECC memory and uses the AMD Socket AM5, with PCIe Gen 5 across 24 lanes.

In synthetic benchmarks, this CPU shows strong results. Cinebench R23 multi-core scores 21765, while single-core scores 3072. Cinebench R20 multi-core is 9141 and single-core is 1290. Cinebench R15 multi-core is 2193 and single-core is 309. PassMark tests reinforce the picture: multi-thread score is 25645, single-thread is 3689, integer math is 74745, floating-point math is 45799, and data compression is 289999. The average benchmark score across all tests is 32750, with an 83rd percentile ranking versus all CPUs.

For Undisputed, a sports game that typically relies on a few heavily utilized threads rather than massive parallelism, the Ryzen 5 7400F’s single-core performance is more relevant than its multi-core muscle. The Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072 is robust, and the 4.70 GHz boost clock ensures responsive frame pacing. The CPU’s 65 W TDP also means it runs cool, but that is not a factor measured in the FPS data.

The measured FPS at 1080p Low (122 FPS average) suggests the CPU is not capping the framerate. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect similar FPS across resolutions at the same settings, since the CPU workload would remain constant while the GPU load changes. Instead, FPS drops sharply from 1080p Low (122) to 1440p Low (88) to 4K Low (56), confirming the GPU is doing the heavy lifting. The CPU’s role here is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic, which it does without issue given its high single-thread scores.

FAQ

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

A: Based on the measured data, 1920x1080 is the only resolution where all settings stay at or above 47 FPS average. At 1440p, Ultra drops to 34 FPS, and at 4K, even Low only reaches 56 FPS. For consistent playability, 1080p is the recommended target.

Q: Does the Ryzen 5 7400F bottleneck the RX 580 in this game?

A: No. The data shows FPS scaling directly with resolution and settings, which indicates GPU limitation. The CPU’s Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072 and multi-core score of 21765 are far above what Undisputed requires at these framerates. If the CPU were the bottleneck, FPS would remain flat across resolutions.

Q: How does the RX 580 compare to its nearest GPU rivals?

A: The RX 580 has an average benchmark score of 12928. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile scores 12940 (-0.1% delta), the GTX 1660 SUPER scores 12986 (-0.4% delta), the AMD Radeon 740M scores 12870 (0.5% delta), and the AMD FirePro W5100 scores 12847 (0.6% delta). All are within 0.6% of each other, so performance is effectively identical in synthetic tests.

Q: Is the RX 580’s 8 GB VRAM sufficient for Undisputed?

A: The measured FPS data does not indicate VRAM-related stutters or crashes, and the 8 GB GDDR5 memory with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for this title. The limiting factor is the GPU’s compute throughput, not memory capacity, as evidenced by the linear FPS drops with resolution increases.

Q: What is the combo’s overall rank, and what does that mean?

A: The combo ranks 2568 out of 2813 tested combinations. This places it in the bottom 9% of all configurations. The CPU ranks in the 83rd percentile, while the GPU ranks in the 53rd percentile, so the low combo rank is driven almost entirely by the graphics card’s modest performance.

Q: Can this system achieve 60 FPS at any setting?

A: Yes, at 1920x1080 with Medium settings, the average FPS is 88, and at Low it is 122. At 1440p, Low achieves 88 FPS. At 4K, no setting reaches 60 FPS—the highest is Low at 56 FPS average. So 60 FPS is possible at 1080p and 1440p with appropriate settings.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is built on the Polaris 20 chip using GCN 4.0 architecture, manufactured on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It contains 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, with a transistor density of 24.6M per mm². The GPU has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. Its base clock is 1257 MHz with a boost clock of 1340 MHz, while the memory clock runs at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The 8 GB GDDR5 memory operates on a 256-bit bus, providing 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Pixel rate is 42.88 GPixel/s, texture rate is 193.0 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance is 6.175 TFLOPS.

In synthetic benchmarks, the RX 580 scores 1005 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 45235 in Geekbench Metal, 37453 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 45173 in Geekbench Vulkan. PassMark tests show a G3D score of 8813, a G2D score of 769, and a GPU compute score of 3488. The average benchmark score is 12928, placing it in the 53rd percentile of all GPUs. Its launch MSRP was 229 USD, but that is historical context; the card is now end-of-life.

For Undisputed, the GPU’s capabilities define the experience. At 1080p, the RX 580 delivers 122 FPS on Low, 88 FPS on Medium, 73 FPS on High, and 47 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 75 FPS, showing how sensitive the Polaris architecture is to shader complexity and texture quality. At 1440p, the same settings produce 88, 64, 53, and 34 FPS respectively. At 4K, the numbers fall to 56, 40, 33, and 21 FPS. The 4K Ultra result of 21 FPS is below playable thresholds, confirming the GPU’s limits.

The 185 W TDP and suggested 450 W PSU indicate the card’s power draw, but the performance data is what matters here. The RX 580’s 6.175 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is modest by modern standards, and the 32 ROPs limit fill-rate at high resolutions. The 8 GB VRAM is not the issue—the compute units and memory bandwidth are. The GPU’s PCIe 3.0 x16 interface is another potential bottleneck, but that is not directly measurable from the FPS data.

Settings Recommendations

Given the measured FPS across all resolution and setting combinations, the optimal experience depends on the target framerate and resolution. For 1080p, Medium settings provide the best balance: 88 FPS average with a minimum of 75 FPS and maximum of 101 FPS. This keeps the action smooth while retaining some visual fidelity. High settings at 1080p still deliver 73 FPS, which is acceptable, but Ultra drops to 47 FPS—risking dips below 40 FPS during busy scenes. Low at 1080p offers 122 FPS, but the visual tradeoff is steep.

At 1440p, Low settings achieve 88 FPS, which is playable, but Medium drops to 64 FPS with a minimum of 54 FPS. High at 1440p is 53 FPS, and Ultra is 34 FPS. For a competitive edge, 1440p Low is the only setting that maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. At 4K, no setting is ideal. Low reaches 56 FPS, which is borderline, but Medium falls to 40 FPS and Ultra to 21 FPS. The data suggests that 1080p Medium is the sweet spot for this combo.

The Medium preset across all resolutions shows consistent scaling: 88 FPS at 1080p, 64 FPS at 1440p, and 40 FPS at 4K. The minimum FPS values for Medium are 75 at 1080p, 54 at 1440p, and 34 at 4K, indicating reasonable frame stability. High settings follow a similar pattern but with lower absolute numbers. Ultra is only viable at 1080p, and even then, 47 FPS average leaves little headroom. For the best experience per the measured rows, 1080p Medium is recommended, with 1440p Low as a secondary option for users prioritizing resolution over visual quality.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete measured FPS data for this combo in Undisputed is as follows:

At 3840x2160, High settings produce 33 FPS average. Low settings produce 56 FPS average. Medium settings produce 40 FPS average, with a minimum of 34 FPS and maximum of 46 FPS. Ultra settings produce 21 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, High settings produce 53 FPS average. Low settings produce 88 FPS average. Medium settings produce 64 FPS average, with a minimum of 54 FPS and maximum of 73 FPS. Ultra settings produce 34 FPS average.

At 1920x1080, High settings produce 73 FPS average. Low settings produce 122 FPS average. Medium settings produce 88 FPS average, with a minimum of 75 FPS and maximum of 101 FPS. Ultra settings produce 47 FPS average.

Only the Medium preset includes minimum and maximum FPS values across all resolutions. For 1080p Medium, the range is 75 to 101 FPS, a span of 26 FPS. For 1440p Medium, the range is 54 to 73 FPS, a span of 19 FPS. For 4K Medium, the range is 34 to 46 FPS, a span of 12 FPS. This narrowing range at higher resolutions suggests the GPU becomes more consistently loaded as resolution increases, reducing frame-time variance. At lower resolutions, the GPU has more idle time, leading to larger swings.

The data reveals a clear hierarchy: 1080p Low (122 FPS) is the fastest measured configuration, followed by 1080p Medium and 1440p Low (both 88 FPS). The step from 1080p Medium to 1440p Medium is a 24 FPS drop (88 to 64), and from 1440p Medium to 4K Medium is another 24 FPS drop (64 to 40). This consistent 24 FPS decrement across each resolution step at Medium settings highlights the GPU’s linear scaling behavior under load. At High settings, the drops are 20 FPS (73 to 53) and 20 FPS (53 to 33), while at Ultra they are 13 FPS (47 to 34) and 13 FPS (34 to 21). The diminishing absolute drops at higher settings indicate that Ultra is already pushing the GPU to its limits even at 1080p.

The minimum FPS data for Medium settings provides additional insight. At 1080p, the minimum of 75 FPS means the system rarely stutters. At 1440p, the minimum of 54 FPS approaches the 60 FPS threshold, so occasional dips may be noticeable. At 4K, the minimum of 34 FPS means sustained gameplay will feel sluggish. The maximum FPS values—101 at 1080p, 73 at 1440p, 46 at 4K—show the ceiling of what the RX 580 can achieve in less demanding scenes.

Overall, this combo is a study in GPU-bound performance. The Ryzen 5 7400F is a high-percentile CPU that never becomes the limiting factor, while the RX 580, a mid-tier GPU from 2017, defines the experience. Users targeting 60 FPS should stay at 1080p with Medium or lower settings, while those willing to accept 30-40 FPS can explore 1440p or even 4K Low. The data does not support any configuration exceeding 56 FPS at 4K, and the only way to exceed 100 FPS is 1080p Low. For a sports game where smoothness matters, 1080p Medium is the clear recommendation from the measured results.
