Undisputed

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT sits in the lower half of the tested combo spectrum for Undisputed, ranking 3,299th out of 3,718 tested combinations. That places this build in the 11th percentile of all tested combos, which is a modest standing for a pairing that nonetheless delivers playable performance at the most common resolutions. The ranking reflects a configuration that is clearly oriented toward 1080p and 1440p gaming rather than 4K dominance. In the context of the entire database, this combo is not a top-tier performer, but its position is far from the bottom — it outranks roughly 419 combos, indicating that there is meaningful headroom in the system for the right workload.

The data shows a system that is balanced in some respects but ultimately constrained by its components in others. The CPU, with an average benchmark score of 26,324, ranks in the 78th percentile against all CPUs, while the GPU, with an average score of 27,425, ranks in the 72nd percentile against all GPUs. Both components are above the median in their respective categories, yet the combo's overall rank in this specific game is dragged down by the demanding nature of Undisputed at higher settings. The 4K Ultra result of 25 FPS is a clear outlier that severely impacts the aggregate ranking. When examining the measured FPS data, it becomes apparent that this pairing is best suited for competitive or high-refresh-rate play at 1080p, where it achieves 154 FPS at Low settings, and remains respectable at 1440p with 104 FPS at Low.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor built on the Zen 4 architecture, codenamed Raphael, and manufactured on a 5 nm process by TSMC. It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, which provides substantial single-thread headroom for a sports title like Undisputed. The chip's single-thread performance is highlighted by a 3DMark single-thread score of 999 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1,852, numbers that indicate strong per-core throughput. This matters because sports games often rely on a primary simulation thread for physics and AI, and the 7600's boost clock is well-suited to that workload.

The processor's cache hierarchy includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and a shared 32 MB L3 cache. This 32 MB L3 is particularly relevant for game data that needs to be quickly accessible across all cores. In benchmark tests, the 7600 achieves a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 12,735, which is solid for a 6-core part, and a Geekbench multicore score of 13,413. The CPU's performance relative to its nearest rivals shows it is tightly clustered: it is 0.2% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, 0.4% ahead of the Intel Core i9-11900KF, and 0.5% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 8540U, while being 0.3% behind the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS. These are negligible differences, meaning the 7600 is squarely in a performance band where no single rival has a decisive edge.

For Undisputed specifically, the CPU's contribution is evident in the frame rates at lower resolutions. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 154 FPS, which suggests the CPU is feeding the GPU adequately without creating a bottleneck. The 12 threads handle the game's background tasks and AI computation with ease. The processor's 65 W TDP and dual-channel DDR5 memory support, with a memory bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s, ensure that data transfer between the CPU and system memory is not a limiting factor in this title. The integrated Radeon Graphics present on the chip are irrelevant for this discrete GPU configuration, but the PCIe Gen 5 interface with 24 lanes provides ample bandwidth for the GPU to communicate with the rest of the system.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture, using the Navi 22 chip manufactured on a 7 nm process by TSMC. It features 12 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering a memory bandwidth of 384.0 GB/s. This memory configuration is a key asset for Undisputed at higher resolutions, as the game's textures and geometry can consume significant VRAM. The GPU's clock speeds are set at a base of 2321 MHz, a game clock of 2424 MHz, and a boost clock of 2581 MHz, with memory running at an effective 16 Gbps. These clocks translate to a pixel rate of 165.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 413.0 GTexel/s, which are competitive figures for a mid-range card of its generation.

The GPU's 2,560 shading units, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs are complemented by 40 ray-tracing cores. While ray tracing is not a primary feature in Undisputed, the presence of these cores adds future-proofing for other titles. The card's FP32 performance of 13.21 TFLOPS provides the raw compute necessary for modern game engines. In synthetic benchmarks, the RX 6700 XT achieves a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,435 and a Passmark G3D score of 19,786. Its performance relative to rivals is tightly grouped: it is statistically tied with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Mobile (0% delta), 0.5% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, 1.1% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell, and 1.5% behind the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20. This indicates the RX 6700 XT is performing exactly where it should for its class.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution and settings scale up. At 4K Ultra, the average FPS drops to 25, which is a clear indication that the GPU is overwhelmed by the combination of high resolution and maximum settings. The 12 GB VRAM is likely being fully utilized at this setting, and the 384.0 GB/s bandwidth becomes a constraint. Conversely, at 1080p Low, the GPU produces 154 FPS, showing that it has ample headroom when the load is reduced. The card's 230 W TDP and suggested 550 W PSU requirement are standard for this performance class. The dual-slot design and 267 mm length make it a manageable fit for most mid-tower cases.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combo in Undisputed reveals a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and settings. At 1920x1080, the results are strong across the board. Low settings yield an average of 154 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings produce 137 FPS on average, with a minimum of 117 FPS and a maximum of 158 FPS, indicating consistent frame delivery. High settings bring the average down to 93 FPS, which remains smooth for most displays. Ultra settings at 1080p are the most demanding, yielding an average of 64 FPS, which is still playable but shows a significant drop from the lower settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance scales down proportionally. Low settings produce an average of 104 FPS, which is excellent for 1440p gaming. Medium settings average 92 FPS, with a minimum of 79 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS, showing that frame pacing remains stable. High settings drop to an average of 63 FPS, which is borderline for a competitive title but acceptable for casual play. Ultra settings at 1440p fall to 43 FPS, which is noticeably less smooth and indicates that this resolution-setting combination is beyond the card's comfort zone.

At 3840x2160, the results are more challenging. Low settings yield an average of 59 FPS, which is barely playable. Medium settings average 53 FPS, with a minimum of 45 FPS and a maximum of 61 FPS, showing some inconsistency. High settings drop to 36 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. Ultra settings at 4K produce just 25 FPS, which is effectively unplayable for a sports title that requires responsive controls. The data shows a clear pattern: this combo is best utilized at 1080p or 1440p with settings capped at High, while 4K should be reserved for Low or Medium settings if playability is the priority.

Resolution Scaling

The scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals where the bottleneck lies in this system. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 154 at 1080p to 104 at 1440p, a 32.5% reduction, and then to 59 at 4K, a 61.7% reduction from the 1080p baseline. This steep decline indicates that the GPU is the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. The CPU's performance remains constant regardless of resolution, so the frame rate drop is directly attributable to the GPU's rendering load. The RX 6700 XT's 12 GB VRAM and 384.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but at 4K, the memory subsystem and compute units are pushed to their limits.

At Medium settings, the scaling pattern is similar. The average FPS goes from 137 at 1080p to 92 at 1440p, a 32.8% drop, and then to 53 at 4K, a 61.3% drop from 1080p. This consistency across settings suggests that the resolution scaling is governed by the GPU's pixel throughput rather than any specific setting. At High settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 32.3% (from 93 to 63 FPS), and the drop from 1080p to 4K is 61.3% (from 93 to 36 FPS). The pattern is remarkably uniform, indicating that the GPU's fill rate and memory bandwidth are the dominant constraints.

The Ultra setting shows the most dramatic scaling, with a 32.8% drop from 1080p to 1440p (from 64 to 43 FPS) and a 60.9% drop from 1080p to 4K (from 64 to 25 FPS). The fact that the percentage drops are nearly identical across all settings confirms that the CPU is not a bottleneck at any resolution. If the CPU were limiting, the frame rates would plateau or drop more steeply at lower resolutions. Instead, the linear relationship between resolution and FPS indicates a GPU-bound scenario at all tested settings. For users seeking higher frame rates at 4K, the only viable path is to reduce settings to Low, which still only yields 59 FPS. This suggests that the RX 6700 XT is a 1080p-to-1440p card for Undisputed, with 4K being a stretch goal that requires significant compromises.
