Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 presents a stark contrast in generational capability. The CPU is a modern Zen 4 part with strong single-thread performance, while the GPU is a legacy Polaris architecture part with 4 GB of VRAM. This pairing produces a predictable bottleneck: the graphics card is the limiting factor in nearly every scenario, though the CPU's headroom prevents it from being a drag on the system.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K is severe, confirming the GPU is the primary constraint. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 107.9 FPS at 1920x1080 to 80.1 FPS at 2560x1440, then plummets to 51.5 FPS at 3840x2160. That is a 52% reduction in average FPS from 1080p to 4K. The pattern is consistent across all presets, with High settings dropping from 63.9 FPS at 1080p to 47.8 FPS at 1440p and finally to 27.5 FPS at 4K.

The scaling behavior indicates that the RX 570's pixel throughput is exhausted quickly as resolution increases. The 4 GB frame buffer is also a factor; at 3840x2160, the card is likely hitting memory capacity limits on higher presets. The Ultra preset is the clearest example: it starts at a playable 44.6 FPS at 1080p, but at 4K it collapses to 18.9 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 4K is a 32.6 FPS gap, showing that the card lacks the raw compute to handle high-detail rendering at that resolution. The CPU, with its 5.10 GHz boost clock and strong 32 MB L3 cache, is not the cause of these drops; the data points squarely at the RX 570.

Settings Recommendations

For a smooth experience, the data suggests prioritizing the Low preset. At 1920x1080, Low yields 107.9 FPS, which is more than sufficient for a sports title. Medium at 1080p drops to 80.1 FPS, which is still playable, but the jump to High cuts that down to 63.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1080p is only 44.6 FPS, making it a poor choice for competitive play. The sweet spot for this combo is Low or Medium at 1080p.

At 2560x1440, the situation tightens. Low produces 80.1 FPS, which is acceptable, but Medium falls to 55 FPS and High to 47.8 FPS. Pushing to 4K is not recommended; even Low only achieves 51.5 FPS, and High dips to 27.5 FPS. The measured rows show that the RX 570 is a 1080p-class card for this game. Players with a 1440p monitor should stick to Low settings to maintain a reasonable frame rate. The 4 GB VRAM is the likely culprit for the steep penalty when moving from Medium to High at any resolution, as the card struggles to hold the necessary textures.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Undisputed at 4K?

A: Technically, yes, but not well. At 4K Low, the average FPS is 51.5, but at High it drops to 27.5 FPS, and at Ultra it falls to 18.9 FPS. The data indicates the RX 570 lacks the memory bandwidth and capacity for a smooth 4K experience.

Q: What is the best resolution for this CPU and GPU pairing?

A: The data shows 1920x1080 is the optimal resolution. At 1080p Low, the combo achieves 107.9 FPS, which is the highest measured average across all tested settings and resolutions.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 7600 holding back the RX 570?

A: No. The CPU is not the bottleneck. Its benchmark scores are strong, and the FPS drops align with GPU load. The RX 570's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT, which are much newer parts, yet the CPU still feeds the GPU adequately at lower resolutions where the GPU is less stressed.

Q: How much of a performance difference is there between Low and Ultra settings?

A: A significant one. At 1080p, the gap is 63.3 FPS (107.9 vs 44.6). At 1440p, the gap narrows to 49.3 FPS (80.1 vs 30.8). The difference shrinks as resolution increases because the GPU becomes the limiting factor regardless of the graphics preset.

Q: Does the 4 GB VRAM cause any specific issues?

A: The data suggests it contributes to the steep drop from Medium to High settings. At 1440p, the jump from Medium (55 FPS) to High (47.8 FPS) is a 7.2 FPS loss, while the jump from Low (80.1 FPS) to Medium (55 FPS) is a 25.1 FPS loss. This indicates a memory capacity or bandwidth wall that is hit when texture detail increases.

Q: Is the CPU's single-thread performance relevant here?

A: Yes, indirectly. The Ryzen 5 7600 scores 999 in 3dmark_single_thread and 3246 in cinebench_r23_singlecore. This ensures the game's main thread is handled efficiently, preventing CPU-side frame drops that could otherwise occur in a sports title with AI logic.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7600 and RX 570 ranks 1542 out of 1580 tested combos for Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 2.4% of all tested configurations. The rank reflects the GPU's age and limitations, not the CPU. The Ryzen 5 7600 itself has an 83rd percentile ranking against all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 26617. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, scores 26574, a delta of only 0.2%.

The GPU tells a different story. The RX 570 has a 74th percentile ranking against all GPUs, but its average benchmark score of 30158 is nearly identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (30109) and AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (30097). However, those are modern cards; the RX 570's score is inflated by legacy tests, not real-world gaming performance. In Undisputed, the rank of 1542 indicates that most other combos, even those with weaker CPUs, will outperform this pairing because they have more modern GPUs. The bottleneck is unequivocally the graphics card.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is built on the GCN 4.0 architecture with a Polaris 20 chip. Its specifications are dated: a 14 nm process node, 2048 shading units, and a 256-bit memory bus with 4 GB of GDDR5. The memory runs at 1750 MHz, providing a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The base clock is 1168 MHz, with a boost clock of 1244 MHz. These figures are far below what modern GPUs offer, and the benchmark results in Undisputed reflect that.

The 4 GB VRAM is the most critical limitation for this game. At 1080p, the card manages 63.9 FPS on High, but the step up to Ultra causes a 19.3 FPS drop to 44.6 FPS. This pattern is consistent at every resolution. The GPU's FP32 performance is 5.095 TFLOPS, which is insufficient for the higher-detail shaders in the Ultra preset. The data shows that the RX 570 is only capable of delivering a smooth experience on Low settings, where the reduced texture quality and effects ease the pressure on the memory bus and the shading units. The card's pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s is also a limiting factor at 4K, where the 18.9 FPS Ultra result shows the GPU is completely overwhelmed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the average FPS across all four settings shows a clear hierarchy. Low leads with 107.9 FPS, followed by Medium at 80.1 FPS, High at 63.9 FPS, and Ultra at 44.6 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 63.3 FPS, indicating that the GPU's performance is highly sensitive to graphics load. The Medium preset is the highest that maintains a 60+ FPS average.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low produces 80.1 FPS, Medium 55 FPS, High 47.8 FPS, and Ultra 30.8 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 25.1 FPS, which is the largest single-step drop at this resolution, likely due to texture memory usage exceeding the 4 GB capacity. All settings except Low fall below 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the results are mostly unplayable. Low achieves 51.5 FPS, Medium 33.6 FPS, High 27.5 FPS, and Ultra 18.9 FPS. The performance delta between Low and Ultra is 32.6 FPS. The card cannot maintain a playable frame rate on any preset at this resolution. The data confirms that the RX 570 is a 1080p card for this title, with limited viability at 1440p only on the lowest settings.
