Undisputed

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT sits at rank 544 out of 1580 tested combinations in Undisputed. That places it in the upper-middle tier of the database, roughly in the 65th percentile of all combos tested for this title. The ranking suggests this pairing is competent but not elite for this sports sim, with plenty of headroom above it occupied by more powerful GPUs or CPUs with higher core counts. The data indicates that this combo delivers a solid experience, but the rank implies that users chasing the absolute top-end frame rates would need to look further up the ladder. The combo's position is interesting because both components are strong in their respective benchmark pools — the CPU sits in the 83rd percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU is in the 87th percentile among all GPUs — yet their combined rank in this specific game is slightly more modest, hinting that Undisputed's engine may not fully utilize the strengths of either part in tandem.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 6800 XT brings 16 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock runs at 2000 MHz with 16 Gbps effective speed. The GPU's base clock is 1825 MHz, with a game clock of 2015 MHz and a boost clock of 2250 MHz. The pixel rate is 288.0 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 648.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance at 20.74 TFLOPS. In the context of Undisputed, a sports title that typically relies more on sustained frame pacing than raw compute, this GPU's substantial memory bandwidth and high pixel throughput help maintain high average FPS even at demanding settings. The 16 GB frame buffer is generous for 4K resolutions, where the card still manages 96 FPS on High settings. However, the data shows that at Ultra settings, the frame rate drops to 64.1 FPS at 4K, indicating that the GPU's raw shading power becomes the limiting factor when settings are maximized. The GPU's benchmark percentile of 87 places it just ahead of the Intel Arc A550M (0.5% delta) and slightly behind the NVIDIA RTX A1000 (-1.7% delta), which contextualizes its performance class relative to other cards in the database.

CPU Role

The Ryzen 5 7600 is a 6-core, 12-thread processor from the 7000 series, based on Zen 4 architecture (Raphael) on a 5 nm process. Its base clock is 3.80 GHz with a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, and it has 32 MB of shared L3 cache plus 1 MB L2 per core. The CPU's single-thread performance is strong, with a 3dmark single-thread score of 999 and a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3246. Multi-threaded performance is also respectable, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 22992 and a Passmark multithread score of 27058. The CPU's average benchmark score of 26617 places it nearly identical to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (0.2% delta) and Intel Core i9-12900HK (-0.2% delta). For Undisputed, which is a sports simulation that may not heavily multi-thread, the 7600's strong single-core performance is likely more relevant than its six cores. The data shows that at 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 346.5 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding frames at very high rates without bottlenecking. However, the question arises: does the six-core count limit performance in more complex simulation scenarios within the game? The measured FPS across resolutions will help clarify this.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 346.5 FPS on Low, 252.3 FPS on Medium, 208.4 FPS on High, and 133.6 FPS on Ultra. These numbers indicate that at 1080p, the GPU has ample headroom, and the CPU is likely the primary driver of frame rates, especially at lower settings where the GPU is less stressed. The spread from Low to Ultra is about 2.6x, showing a significant performance cost for higher quality presets. At 2560x1440, the FPS numbers are 251.7 (Low), 182.9 (Medium), 152.6 (High), and 94.1 (Ultra). The drop from 1080p to 1440p is noticeable but not catastrophic; the High preset still maintains over 150 FPS, which is smooth for competitive play. At 3840x2160, the FPS falls to 161.1 (Low), 115.4 (Medium), 96.0 (High), and 64.1 (Ultra). At 4K, the GPU becomes the clear limiting factor, especially at Ultra where the frame rate dips below 65 FPS. The data shows a consistent pattern: as resolution increases, the GPU's workload grows, and the FPS penalty from higher settings becomes more pronounced.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS drop from 1080p to 4K reveals critical insights about the limiting component. At Low settings, the combo goes from 346.5 FPS at 1080p to 161.1 FPS at 4K, a reduction of 53.5%. This steep decline indicates that even at low graphical fidelity, the GPU is struggling to keep up with the pixel count at 4K. At High settings, the drop is from 208.4 FPS at 1080p to 96.0 FPS at 4K, a 53.9% reduction. Interestingly, the percentage drop is nearly identical across Low and High, suggesting that the GPU's fill-rate limits are consistent regardless of settings. At Medium settings, the drop is from 252.3 FPS to 115.4 FPS, a 54.3% reduction. At Ultra, the drop is from 133.6 FPS to 64.1 FPS, a 52.0% reduction. This consistency in relative scaling implies that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K across all settings, while at 1080p, the CPU likely plays a larger role, especially at lower settings where the GPU has less work. The data suggests that for 4K gaming, users should stick to High or lower to maintain playable frame rates, while 1440p offers a balanced sweet spot with High achieving 152.6 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

For the best experience according to the measured data, the High preset at 1440p offers a strong balance, delivering 152.6 FPS with good visual fidelity. At 1080p, High provides 208.4 FPS, which is excellent for high-refresh monitors, while Ultra at 1080p still hits 133.6 FPS, making it viable if you prioritize visuals over frame rate. At 4K, High is the recommended preset, achieving 96.0 FPS, which is smooth enough for most players, whereas Ultra drops to 64.1 FPS, which may feel less fluid. Medium at 4K offers 115.4 FPS, a good middle ground if you want higher frame rates than High but don't want to sacrifice too much visual quality. For competitive play where maximum FPS is the goal, Low at 1080p (346.5 FPS) or 1440p (251.7 FPS) is the clear choice, but the data suggests that High at 1440p is the sweet spot for most users, as it provides over 150 FPS while retaining decent graphical detail. The Ultra preset is best reserved for 1080p, where it still delivers above 130 FPS, or for users who prioritize visual fidelity over frame rate at 1440p (94.1 FPS) and can tolerate 4K at 64.1 FPS.
