# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 5 7500F + AMD Radeon RX 6600

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 delivers a solid 1080p experience in Undisputed, with the data showing this combo ranks 1298th out of 1580 tested combinations in the game. The measured frame rates across four presets and three resolutions reveal a system that can handle competitive play at lower settings but struggles to maintain fluid motion at maximum quality. This analysis walks through the benchmark data to determine the optimal settings, the role each component plays, and how the combination scales across resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data shows that Medium settings at 1080p deliver 148.7 FPS, which is the most balanced experience for competitive play. At this preset, the frame rate comfortably exceeds the 125 FPS achieved on High settings, while maintaining visual fidelity that is significantly better than the 208 FPS Low preset. The Ultra preset at 1080p drops to 82.7 FPS, which is still playable but represents a 44% reduction from the Medium preset — a steep cost for marginal visual gains. For players prioritizing smoothness, Medium at 1080p offers the best ratio of frame rate to visual quality.

At 1440p, the Medium preset delivers 107.6 FPS, which remains above the 60 FPS threshold for fluid gameplay. High settings at this resolution yield 89.6 FPS, still acceptable for most users. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 58.8 FPS, dipping below 60 and introducing noticeable stutter in fast-paced boxing exchanges. The data suggests that 1440p users should stick to Medium or High, with Medium being the safer choice for maintaining a consistent frame rate.

For 4K gaming, the picture changes dramatically. The High preset at 3840x2160 produces only 59 FPS, barely touching the 60 FPS target. Medium settings at 4K deliver 67.3 FPS, while Low achieves 94.8 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K collapses to 38 FPS, which is largely unplayable for a sports title that relies on timing and reaction. The recommendation for 4K is Low or Medium, with Medium providing the best visual quality while staying above 60 FPS. The gap between High and Medium at 4K is just 8.3 FPS, suggesting diminishing returns at higher presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It has a base clock of 3.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.00 GHz, with 32 MB of shared L3 cache. The CPU's benchmark scores indicate strong multi-threaded performance: Cinebench R23 multicore reaches 22799 points, and Geekbench multicore scores 12686. Single-thread performance is also respectable, with Cinebench R23 singlecore at 3218 points and PassMark single-thread at 3841.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is primarily to maintain a stable frame rate floor, especially at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 208 FPS, which suggests the CPU can feed frames well beyond typical display refresh rates. The data shows that even at 1080p Ultra, the system holds 82.7 FPS, indicating that the CPU is not the primary bottleneck at this resolution. The 12 threads handle the game's physics and AI calculations without difficulty, as evidenced by the absence of any frame rate collapse across presets.

The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all processors places it in the upper tier, though not at the very top. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i7-11850H, scores nearly identically with a 0.1% delta, while the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X trails by 0.3%. This positioning means the 7500F provides ample headroom for this sports title, where the workload is less demanding than in strategy or simulation games. The 65 W TDP and DDR5 memory support further underscore its efficiency, though these factors do not directly impact the measured frame rates.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. Its base clock runs at 1626 MHz, boosting to 2491 MHz, with a game clock of 2044 MHz. The GPU has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, along with 28 ray tracing cores. Its FP32 performance is 8.928 TFLOPS, and it supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and OpenGL 4.6.

The GPU's impact on Undisputed is most evident when comparing the 1080p and 4K results. At 1080p Ultra, the system manages 82.7 FPS, but at 4K Ultra, it drops to 38 FPS — a 54% reduction. This steep decline indicates that the RX 6600's 8 GB VRAM and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth become limiting factors at higher resolutions. The memory bus width of 128 bits is narrow for 4K workloads, and the data reflects this: even at 4K High, the frame rate falls to 59 FPS, barely above the playable threshold.

The GPU's 69th percentile ranking among all graphics cards shows it is a mid-tier performer. Its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 890M, matches it with a 0% delta, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is 0.5% behind. In Undisputed, the RX 6600's strengths lie in 1080p and 1440p gaming, where its 8 GB VRAM is sufficient. At 4K, the combination of VRAM capacity and memory bandwidth creates a bottleneck, as seen in the Ultra preset's 38 FPS result.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and AMD Radeon RX 6600 ranks 1298th out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the lower 18% of all configurations. This ranking reflects the GPU's mid-tier positioning and the game's relatively modest requirements, where newer or higher-end cards can achieve significantly higher frame rates. The CPU's strong performance does little to boost the combo's standing, as the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher presets and resolutions.

The data suggests that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming, where it achieves competitive frame rates across all presets. The 1080p Medium result of 148.7 FPS places it well above the 60 FPS target, and even Ultra at 82.7 FPS is acceptable for most players. At 1440p, the combo remains viable but requires settings compromises, with Medium at 107.6 FPS being the sweet spot. The 4K results are marginal, with only Low and Medium presets staying above 60 FPS.

The rank of 1298 out of 1580 indicates that while this combo is not a top-tier performer, it is far from the bottom. The CPU's 82nd percentile ranking and the GPU's 69th percentile ranking combine to produce a system that handles this sports title adequately at mainstream resolutions. The gap between this combo and higher-ranked configurations likely stems from the GPU's limitations, as the CPU's benchmark scores are competitive with far more expensive processors.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU as the primary limiting component. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 148.7 at 1080p to 107.6 at 1440p (a 27.6% reduction), then to 67.3 at 4K (a 54.7% reduction from 1440p). This steep decline at 4K indicates that the RX 6600's memory bandwidth and VRAM capacity are insufficient for the increased pixel count. The 128-bit memory bus and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are simply not enough to sustain high frame rates at 3840x2160.

The Low preset tells a similar story. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 208 FPS, dropping to 152.3 at 1440p (26.8% reduction) and 94.8 at 4K (37.7% reduction from 1440p). The smaller percentage drop from 1440p to 4K at Low settings suggests that the GPU is less stressed when visual fidelity is minimized, allowing the frame rate to remain more consistent. However, the absolute numbers still show a significant decline, reinforcing the GPU bottleneck.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling: 82.7 FPS at 1080p, 58.8 at 1440p (28.9% reduction), and 38 at 4K (35.4% reduction). The fact that the percentage drop from 1440p to 4K is smaller than from 1080p to 1440p at Ultra suggests that the GPU is already saturated at 1440p, and the additional resolution has a diminished relative impact. This pattern confirms that the RX 6600 is the limiting component in this combo, with the CPU providing sufficient headroom throughout the resolution range.
