Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and AMD Radeon RX 570 pairing produces a heavily GPU-bound experience in Undisputed, with frame rates dictated almost entirely by the Polaris 20 GPU’s 4 GB frame buffer and GCN 4.0 architecture. The measured data shows a clear hierarchy across settings and resolutions, but the story is less about the CPU’s Zen 4 muscle and more about where the RX 570’s limits force compromises.

Settings Recommendations

The measured rows reveal a predictable but steep performance cliff as visual quality increases. At 1080p, Low settings deliver 107.9 FPS average, which is the only configuration in the entire dataset that crosses the 100 FPS threshold. Medium drops to 76.9 FPS, High to 68 FPS, and Ultra collapses to 44.9 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 63 FPS, a 58% reduction in throughput that suggests the GPU’s pixel and texture pipelines are the primary bottleneck.

At 1440p, the pattern repeats with compressed headroom. Low produces 81.4 FPS, Medium 54.9 FPS, High 49.9 FPS, and Ultra 29 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra widens to 52.4 FPS, but the absolute numbers indicate that even Medium settings cannot maintain a 60 FPS average at this resolution. At 4K, the situation becomes untenable for anything beyond Low: Low settings yield 53.4 FPS, Medium drops to 37.5 FPS, High to 27.7 FPS, and Ultra to 22 FPS. No 4K preset reaches 60 FPS.

For the best experience per the measured rows, 1080p Low is the only setting that provides both a smooth average (107.9 FPS) and sufficient margin above the 60 FPS baseline. However, 1080p Medium at 76.9 FPS offers a more visually appealing trade-off if the user accepts a 31 FPS penalty from Low. The data does not support recommending High or Ultra at any resolution, as even 1080p High falls to 68 FPS and 1080p Ultra drops to 44.9 FPS. Given that the RX 570 is a 14 nm part with 32 ROPs and a 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, the measured results suggest that Low or Medium at 1080p is the practical ceiling for consistent gameplay.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 operates with a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz, built on the Polaris 20 chip with GCN 4.0 architecture. Its memory configuration is 4 GB of GDDR5 across a 256-bit bus, yielding 224.0 GB/s bandwidth. The GPU’s shading units number 2048, with 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs, producing a pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is rated at 5.095 TFLOPS.

These specifications directly explain the measured frame rates. The 4 GB frame buffer is the most likely constraint at higher resolutions and settings, as Undisputed at 4K Ultra averages only 22 FPS — a figure that suggests memory capacity or bandwidth saturation rather than raw shader limits. The 224.0 GB/s bandwidth is modest by modern standards, and the 32 ROPs limit fill-rate-bound scenarios.

The GPU’s benchmark profile shows an average score of 30158, placing it in the 74th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 with a deltaPct of 0.2%, the AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT also at 0.2%, the NVIDIA Tesla M60 at 0.6%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile at 0.8%. These deltas are negligible, indicating that the RX 570’s average benchmark performance sits in a tight cluster with these cards, despite their generational differences. The data shows that the RX 570 is not a low-end outlier in aggregate benchmarks, but its 4 GB VRAM and older architecture become liabilities in a 2023 sports title.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a consistent degradation as resolution increases, but the rate of decline is not uniform across settings. At Low settings, the transition from 1080p to 1440p drops the average from 107.9 FPS to 81.4 FPS (a 26.5 FPS loss), and then to 53.4 FPS at 4K (another 28 FPS loss). The 1080p-to-4K total loss at Low is 54.5 FPS, representing a 50.5% reduction. At High settings, 1080p yields 68 FPS, 1440p yields 49.9 FPS, and 4K yields 27.7 FPS — a total loss of 40.3 FPS (59.3% reduction). Ultra settings start at 44.9 FPS at 1080p, fall to 29 FPS at 1440p, and bottom out at 22 FPS at 4K, a total loss of 22.9 FPS (51% reduction).

The scaling pattern indicates that the GPU is the limiting component across all resolutions. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect frame rates to remain flat or decline less steeply at higher resolutions, since the GPU would be doing more work. Instead, the data shows that even at 1080p, the RX 570 cannot push beyond 107.9 FPS at Low, and that ceiling drops to 76.9 FPS at Medium. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with a boost clock of 5.00 GHz and a single-thread score of 974 on 3dmark, is capable of feeding the GPU far more frames than the RX 570 can render. The 4K results, particularly the 22 FPS at Ultra, strongly suggest that the 4 GB VRAM is exhausted, forcing the GPU to spill over or reduce effective bandwidth.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 1499th out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed, which places it in the 5.1st percentile of all combos. This is a low ranking, but it is not surprising given the GPU’s age and memory capacity. The RX 570’s percentileVsAllGpus is 74, meaning it outperforms 74% of all GPUs in aggregate benchmark averages, yet its in-game rank is poor because Undisputed appears to stress the GPU in ways that aggregate benchmarks do not capture.

The rank of 1499 out of 1580 means that only 81 combos performed worse. The data indicates that this pairing is near the bottom of the distribution, likely due to the combination of a relatively modern CPU (the Ryzen 5 7500F) with an end-of-life GPU. The CPU’s percentileVsAllCpus is 82, which is strong, but the GPU’s 74th percentile is dragged down by the game’s specific demands. The measured FPS at 1080p Ultra (44.9 FPS) is below the 60 FPS threshold, and the 4K results are uniformly poor, reinforcing the low combo rank.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, built on the Zen 4 architecture (codenamed Raphael) using a 5 nm process at TSMC. It runs at a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boosts to 5.00 GHz, with a TDP of 65 W. The CPU has a 32 MB shared L3 cache, 1 MB L2 per core, and 64 KB L1 per core. It supports DDR5 memory in a dual-channel configuration, yielding 83.2 GB/s of bandwidth, and connects via PCIe Gen 5 with 24 lanes. The CPU’s launch MSRP was $179.

The benchmark data shows the 7500F is a strong performer. Its Cinebench R23 multicore score is 22799, and single-core is 3218. The Geekbench multicore score is 12686, with a single-core of 2759. The Passmark multithread score is 26825, and the single-thread score is 3841. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 24993, placing it in the 82nd percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the Intel Core i7-11850H (avg score 24974, deltaPct 0.1%), AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (25057, -0.3%), AMD Ryzen 5 8400F (25064, -0.3%), and AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (24897, 0.4%). These deltas are tiny, indicating the 7500F sits in a crowded performance tier.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is not the limiting factor. The measured FPS at 1080p Low (107.9 FPS) is likely well below what the CPU can sustain, given its 5.00 GHz boost clock and high single-thread scores. The data shows that as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, frame rates drop consistently, which would not happen if the CPU were the primary constraint. The 7500F’s 6 cores and 12 threads are more than adequate for a sports title, and the 32 MB L3 cache reduces memory latency. The CPU’s 82nd percentile ranking suggests it is a capable component, but the RX 570’s limitations cap the overall experience.
