Undisputed

This combo pairing a Zen 4 six-core CPU with an entry-level Turing GPU lands near the very bottom of the database for Undisputed, ranking 1538 out of 1580 tested combinations. The data places this build in the 3rd percentile of all combos, meaning it will struggle to provide a smooth experience in most scenarios. The bottleneck is overwhelmingly the GPU, as the CPU has ample headroom while the graphics card is pushed to its absolute limit. For a builder considering this pairing, the expectation should be playable framerates only at lower resolutions and settings, with significant compromises required at higher presets.

How This Combo Ranks

With a rank of 1538 out of 1580 tested combos, this system is positioned in the bottom 2.7% of all configurations tested for Undisputed. The data shows a clear pattern: the GTX 1650 is the limiting factor, holding back a CPU that is otherwise capable of far higher performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 scores an average benchmark of 26617, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the GTX 1650’s average benchmark of 8713 puts it in the 43rd percentile of all GPUs. This massive gap in relative capability means the system's overall performance is dictated almost entirely by the graphics card.

Looking at the CPU's nearest rivals, the Ryzen 5 7600 is essentially tied with the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, scoring just 0.2% higher, and sits between the Intel Core i9-12900HK and the Intel Core i9-11900K. This confirms that the processor is not the source of the low ranking. In contrast, the GPU’s nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile and the AMD Radeon 550X, with deltas of -0.4% and -0.4% respectively, showing it is competitive with other low-end cards but fundamentally outclassed for a demanding title like Undisputed. The result is a system that will consistently land near the bottom of the performance charts, regardless of the quality of its CPU.

Settings Recommendations

The measured data for this combo shows that the "Low" preset is the only setting that provides a consistently playable experience across all resolutions. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers an average of 111.5 FPS, which is more than sufficient for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at the same resolution drops to 76.8 FPS, which is still playable but begins to show the GPU's strain. The High preset yields 68.1 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 43.1 FPS, the latter being marginal for a competitive sports title.

The recommendation is to use the Low preset for the best balance of visual quality and performance. While Medium at 1080p is playable, the jump to Low provides a 45% increase in average framerate, from 76.8 to 111.5 FPS, which is a significant improvement for responsiveness. Given the GPU's limitations, prioritizing a stable and high framerate is the practical choice. The data indicates that the Low preset is the only one that maintains an average above 100 FPS, making it the clear choice for players who value smoothness over graphical fidelity. Pushing to Medium or High at 1080p is possible, but the user must accept a substantial performance penalty.

Resolution Scaling

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K is steep and reveals the GPU as the primary bottleneck. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo achieves 111.5 FPS. Moving to 2560x1440, the average drops to 77.9 FPS, a 30% reduction. At 3840x2160, the average falls to 48.8 FPS, a further 37% drop from the 1440p figure. This scaling pattern is characteristic of a GPU-limited scenario, where the rendering resolution directly impacts the framerate.

The CPU's performance is not the limiting factor here. The Ryzen 5 7600 has a boost clock of 5.10 GHz and 6 cores with 12 threads, which is more than sufficient to feed the GTX 1650 at any resolution. The data supports this: at 4K Ultra, the framerate collapses to 19.6 FPS, while at 1080p Low it climbs to 111.5 FPS. The GPU's 4 GB of VRAM and 128-bit memory bus are clearly overwhelmed at higher resolutions and settings. The scaling shows that this combo is only viable at 1080p, and even then, the user must be selective with settings to maintain a playable framerate. The 4K results are purely academic, as the average FPS at any setting above Low is below 50.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best resolution for this combo in Undisputed?*

A: The data shows that 1920x1080 is the only viable resolution. At this resolution, the combo achieves 111.5 FPS on Low settings, while at 2560x1440 it drops to 77.9 FPS, and at 3840x2160 it falls to 48.8 FPS. The experience at higher resolutions is compromised.

*Q: Can this system run Undisputed at 60 FPS?*

A: Yes, but only at 1080p. The measured results show an average of 68.1 FPS on High settings and 76.8 FPS on Medium settings at 1920x1080. The Ultra preset at 1080p only manages 43.1 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS target.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck for this game?

A: The GPU is the clear bottleneck. The Ryzen 5 7600 has an average benchmark score of 26617, placing it in the 83rd percentile, while the GTX 1650 has an average score of 8713, placing it in the 43rd percentile. The framerate scaling with resolution confirms the graphics card is the limiting factor.

Q: How does the GTX 1650 compare to its direct rivals in this game?

A: The GTX 1650's average benchmark score of 8713 is nearly identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 A Mobile, which scores 8746, showing a delta of -0.4%. It performs similarly to the AMD Radeon 550X and the NVIDIA Quadro P2200, with deltas of -0.4% and 0.5% respectively.

Q: What is the expected performance on the Ultra preset?

A: The Ultra preset is not recommended for this combo. At 1920x1080, the average framerate is 43.1 FPS. At 2560x1440, it drops to 29.3 FPS, and at 3840x2160, it is only 19.6 FPS. These results are below the threshold for smooth, competitive gameplay.

Q: Does the CPU's performance hold up when paired with this GPU?

A: Yes, the CPU has significant headroom. The Ryzen 5 7600 scores 22992 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 3246 in single-core, which are strong results. Its performance is effectively wasted in this pairing, as the GTX 1650 cannot utilize its full potential in Undisputed.

GPU Role

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is the defining component of this combo, and its limitations are the primary reason for the system's low rank. The card features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 128.1 GB/s. Its base clock is 1485 MHz with a boost clock of 1665 MHz. These specifications are minimal for a modern sports title like Undisputed, which is reflected in the measured framerates. The GPU's average benchmark score of 8713 places it in the 43rd percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals are all similarly low-end cards.

The data shows that the GPU is unable to maintain high framerates at higher settings. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is a 61.3% drop in average FPS, from 111.5 to 43.1. This is a direct consequence of the limited memory bandwidth and the small 4 GB frame buffer. The card's 896 shading units and 32 ROPs are also insufficient for the demands of the game's higher presets. The VRAM capacity is a particular concern, as it is likely to be a limiting factor at 1440p and above, where the card struggles to even reach 50 FPS on Low settings. The GTX 1650, with its 75 W TDP and dual-slot design, is an entry-level part, and its performance in Undisputed confirms that it is best suited for 1080p gaming on lower presets.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 is a high-performance processor that is severely underutilized in this pairing. It has 6 cores and 12 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz. The CPU's average benchmark score of 26617 places it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, and its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D, scores only 0.2% lower. This indicates that the processor is capable of handling far more demanding workloads than what the GTX 1650 can deliver.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is to feed the GPU with frame data, and it does so without breaking a sweat. The measured framerates are entirely dependent on the GPU's rendering capabilities, as evidenced by the steep performance drop when increasing resolution. The Ryzen 5 7600's 32 MB of L3 cache and DDR5 memory support are more than adequate for this game. The 3dmark single-thread score of 999 and the Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3246 demonstrate that the CPU has strong single-threaded performance, which is relevant for sports titles that often rely on a primary game thread. However, this power is wasted, as the system's performance ceiling is set by the graphics card. The CPU is not the bottleneck; the GTX 1650 is, and the Ryzen 5 7600 is ready to support a much more powerful GPU if the user chooses to upgrade.
