Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is a study in asymmetry. The data for Undisputed reveals a system where a modern, high-core-count processor is held firmly in check by a legacy graphics card with a 4 GB memory buffer. The benchmark results show a combination that can achieve playable frame rates, but only when the graphical settings are carefully managed. This analysis breaks down the measured FPS across resolutions and settings, isolating the roles of the CPU and GPU in shaping the final experience.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data for this combo in Undisputed shows a steep and predictable decline as resolution increases, but the rate of that decline tells a clear story about system balance. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 109 FPS. Moving to 1440p drops that figure to 79 FPS, and at 4K, it falls further to 50 FPS. This scaling pattern—a 27.5% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 36.7% drop from 1440p to 4K—indicates that the rendering load is scaling almost linearly with the pixel count, a classic sign of a GPU-bound scenario.

The picture becomes even more defined when looking at the higher settings. At High settings, the average FPS goes from 65 at 1080p, to 47 at 1440p, and finally to 30 at 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most severe scaling, with 42 FPS at 1080p collapsing to 30 FPS at 1440p and a mere 19 FPS at 4K. The fact that the FPS nearly halves when moving from Medium to Ultra at each resolution suggests that the GTX 1650's limited shading power and memory bandwidth are the primary bottlenecks. The data implies that the CPU is not the limiting factor here; if it were, we would see more consistent frame rates across different resolutions, as the CPU's workload would remain relatively constant while the GPU's pixel-pushing duties increased.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on the Zen 4 architecture. Its benchmark scores are strong, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22799 and a single-core score of 3218. These figures place the CPU at the 77th percentile when compared to all tested CPUs. However, in the context of Undisputed at these resolutions and settings, the CPU's role appears secondary. The FPS drops observed when increasing resolution are far too large to be attributed to CPU limitations, which typically manifest as a performance ceiling regardless of resolution.

The data suggests that the Ryzen 5 7500F has ample headroom for this title. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache and high boost clock of 5.00 GHz are more than sufficient to feed the GTX 1650. In fact, the CPU's nearest rivals, such as the Intel Core i7-11850H and AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, have near-identical average benchmark scores, with delta percentages of 0.1% and -0.2% respectively. This indicates that the 7500F is not a unique bottleneck; any of these similarly performing CPUs would likely produce the same FPS results when paired with a GTX 1650. The CPU is ready to deliver data, but the GPU is simply not fast enough to request it at a higher rate.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is the clear limiting component in this configuration. With a 4 GB GDDR5 memory buffer on a 128-bit bus, the card offers a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s. This is a modest amount of memory and bandwidth by modern standards, and for a game like Undisputed, which features detailed character models and environments, it becomes a significant constraint. The GPU's benchmark scores reflect its position, sitting at the 40th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Radeon HD 8850M and Intel UHD Graphics 750, have nearly identical average scores, with delta percentages of 0.3% and 0.4% respectively, underscoring its entry-level performance class.

The GPU's role is most clearly demonstrated by the FPS drop when moving from Low to Ultra settings. At 1080p, the average FPS falls from 109 at Low to 42 at Ultra, a 61.5% reduction. This is not the behavior of a CPU-limited system; it is the signature of a GPU that is being overwhelmed by increased shader complexity and texture detail. The GTX 1650's 896 shading units and 32 ROPs are simply insufficient to handle the demands of the Ultra preset at playable frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions where the pixel count multiplies the workload.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience for this combo is a balance between visual fidelity and playable frame rates. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset provides an average of 79 FPS, with a minimum recorded of 67 FPS and a maximum of 91 FPS. This is the only preset that offers a consistently smooth experience above the 60 FPS threshold while still providing a reasonable level of visual quality. The Low preset at 1080p hits 109 FPS, which is excellent for competitive play, but sacrifices graphical detail. The High preset at 65 FPS is playable but begins to show the strain on the GPU.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset drops to an average of 57 FPS, which is still within the range of playability for many, but the minimum of 48 FPS indicates potential stuttering in demanding scenes. The Low preset at 1440p, with an average of 79 FPS, is the best way to maintain a high frame rate at this resolution. At 3840x2160, no preset offers a consistently good experience. The Low preset achieves an average of 50 FPS, but the Medium preset falls to 36 FPS, and High and Ultra are unplayable at 30 FPS and 19 FPS respectively. The data clearly indicates that 4K gaming is not a viable option for this hardware combination in Undisputed.

FAQ

Q: What is the best resolution and settings combination for a smooth experience?

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 with the Medium preset provides the best balance, yielding an average of 79 FPS with a minimum of 67 FPS. This is the only configuration that consistently stays above the 60 FPS threshold while maintaining a middle-ground level of graphical detail.

*Q: Is the CPU or GPU the main bottleneck in this system for Undisputed?*

A: The benchmark results point strongly to the GPU. The average FPS drops by a much larger percentage when resolution increases or settings are raised than would be expected if the CPU were the limiting factor. The GPU's 40th percentile ranking and modest 4 GB VRAM buffer make it the primary constraint.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K resolution?

A: The measured data shows that it cannot provide a playable experience at 4K. Even on the Low preset, the average FPS is only 50, and it falls to 36 FPS on Medium. The Ultra preset is effectively unplayable at an average of 19 FPS.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 7500F compare to its closest rivals in terms of synthetic benchmarks?

A: The Ryzen 5 7500F is statistically tied with its nearest rivals. It has a 0.1% higher average score than the Intel Core i7-11850H, a -0.2% difference from the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, and a 0.2% lead over the Intel Core i7-13620H. This suggests that CPU choice among these models would have a negligible impact on in-game FPS when paired with a GTX 1650.

Q: What is the difference in FPS between the High and Ultra presets at 1080p?

A: The average FPS drops from 65 on the High preset to 42 on the Ultra preset at 1920x1080. This is a significant 35.4% performance penalty for the final step up in visual quality, which the GTX 1650 cannot sustain.

The data shows a clear hierarchy. The 1080p Low preset is the only setting to achieve an average over 100 FPS. The 1080p Medium and 1440p Low presets both land in the 79-80 FPS range, offering similar performance at different resolutions. From there, the frame rates descend steadily, with the 4K Ultra preset representing the absolute floor of playability at an average of just 19 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested hardware combinations for Undisputed, this pairing of an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 holds a rank of 3591 out of 3718 total combos. This places it in the bottom 4.4% of all tested systems, a position that is entirely consistent with the GPU's performance class. The CPU, while itself a strong performer at the 77th percentile, is not able to boost the combination beyond the capabilities of its graphics card.

This low ranking is a direct consequence of the GTX 1650's position at the 40th percentile of all GPUs. The pairing effectively creates a system that is only suitable for 1080p gaming at medium settings, and struggles significantly at higher resolutions. The rank underscores that while the Ryzen 5 7500F is a forward-looking platform choice, the overall experience is defined by the legacy GPU. In the context of Undisputed, this combo is a clear example of a processor outpacing its graphics partner, resulting in a final experience that is firmly entry-level.
