GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the primary performance limiter in this configuration. The GPU features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. Its base clock is 1168 MHz with a boost clock of 1244 MHz, and the memory runs at an effective 7 Gbps. These specifications are dated, as the card was released in 2017, and the data suggests they struggle with the demands of Undisputed at higher settings.

The GPU's architecture is GCN 4.0 on a 14 nm process, with 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Its compute power is rated at 5.095 TFLOPS for FP32 operations. While this is sufficient for older titles, the benchmark results show it is not enough to maintain high frame rates in Undisputed at 1440p or 4K. The card holds the 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs, but its performance in this game is heavily dependent on resolution.

The memory capacity is a critical factor. With only 4 GB of VRAM, the card likely hits capacity limits at higher resolutions and settings, causing performance to plummet. The data shows a clear pattern: as resolution increases from 1080p to 4K, the average FPS on High settings halves from 66 to 30. This indicates that the GPU and its memory subsystem are being overwhelmed by the increased pixel count and texture data.

The GPU's role is further defined by its PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. While the Ryzen 5 7600X supports PCIe Gen 5, the RX 570 is limited to the older standard. This does not appear to be a bottleneck in the data, as the FPS drops are more consistent with a GPU compute and memory limitation rather than a bus bandwidth issue. The card's 150 W TDP and 1x 6-pin power connector are modest, confirming its position as a mainstream part, not a high-end performer.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance drop as resolution increases, confirming the RX 570 as the limiting component. At 1080p, the combo achieves an average of 66 FPS on High settings. This is a playable frame rate for a sports title. Moving to 2560x1440, the average FPS falls by 29% to 47 FPS. At 3840x2160, the average FPS plummets to 30, a 55% reduction from the 1080p result.

This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU's performance does not change with resolution, but the GPU's workload increases exponentially with pixel count. The Ryzen 5 7600X has a boost clock of 5.30 GHz and scores 1060 in the 3DMark single-thread test. This indicates it has ample headroom to feed the GPU, but the RX 570 simply cannot render frames fast enough at higher resolutions.

The data on the Low preset further illustrates this. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 110 FPS. At 1440p Low, it drops to 80 FPS (a 27% reduction). At 4K Low, it falls to 50 FPS (a 55% reduction from 1080p). The consistency of the percentage drop between High and Low presets suggests that the GPU's pixel fill rate, listed at 39.81 GPixel/s, is the main constraint.

At 4K, the Ultra preset drops to an average of 19 FPS. This is a 62% drop from the 1080p Ultra score of 42 FPS. The increase in resolution, combined with the highest settings, completely overwhelms the GPU. The data suggests that the 4 GB VRAM is insufficient for the texture and geometry demands of 4K Ultra, causing severe performance degradation. The scaling indicates that users should stick to 1080p for a consistently smooth experience.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed look at performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the combo performs best. On Low settings, the average FPS is 110. Medium settings yield an average of 79 FPS, with a minimum of 67 and a maximum of 91. High settings produce an average of 66 FPS. Ultra settings see a significant drop to an average of 42 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance degrades noticeably. Low settings average 80 FPS. Medium settings average 57 FPS, with a minimum of 49 and a maximum of 66. High settings produce 47 FPS. Ultra settings drop further to an average of 31 FPS. The data shows that even the Medium preset at 1440p, which provides a 57 FPS average, may feel less smooth than the 1080p High preset at 66 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly overburdened. Low settings average 50 FPS. Medium settings fall to an average of 36 FPS, with a minimum of 31 and a maximum of 42. High settings average 30 FPS. Ultra settings are nearly unplayable, with an average of 19 FPS. The gap between settings presets widens at 4K, showing that the GPU's limits are hit much faster.

The FPS ranges for Medium settings show the variance. At 1080p Medium, the range is 67-91 FPS, a 24 FPS spread. At 1440p Medium, the range is 49-66 FPS, a 17 FPS spread. At 4K Medium, the range is 31-42 FPS, an 11 FPS spread. This decreasing range at higher resolutions indicates the GPU is consistently hitting its maximum capacity, leaving less headroom for variance.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with the High preset. This configuration yields an average of 66 FPS, which is smooth enough for a sports simulation. The jump to Medium settings increases the average to 79 FPS, but the visual fidelity difference may not be worth the performance gain, as High already provides a playable frame rate.

For users prioritizing frame rate above all else, 1080p Low provides an excellent 110 FPS average. However, this setting likely sacrifices too much visual detail for a game like Undisputed, where character models and arena details matter. The 1080p Medium preset, with a 79 FPS average, balances performance and quality well and is a strong recommendation if the High preset's 66 FPS feels insufficient.

At 1440p, the data suggests that only the Low preset (80 FPS) is acceptable for smooth gameplay. The Medium preset at 57 FPS might be tolerable for some, but the High preset at 47 FPS is borderline. The Ultra preset at 31 FPS is not recommended for a responsive experience. Users with a 1440p monitor should consider lowering the resolution to 1080p to achieve higher settings.

The 4K resolution is not recommended with this GPU. The best 4K result is 50 FPS on Low, but the High preset drops to 30 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth motion in a fast-paced game. The Ultra preset at 19 FPS is unplayable. The data clearly indicates that the RX 570 is not designed for 4K gaming in Undisputed, and users should stick to 1080p for the best overall experience.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is an exceptionally capable processor that is not the limiting factor in this setup. It is a 6-core, 12-thread CPU based on the Zen 4 architecture, with a base clock of 4.70 GHz and a boost clock of 5.30 GHz. The CPU scores 1060 in the 3DMark single-thread test and 1965 in Cinebench R23 single-core, indicating strong per-core performance that can handle game logic and physics calculations easily.

The CPU's multi-threaded performance is equally strong, with a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 15236 and a Geekbench multicore score of 13858. It sits in the 79th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27636. This places it competitively against its nearest rivals, being 0.2% faster than the Intel Core i5-12600K and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's role is to process the game's simulation, AI, and input logic. The data shows that the FPS scaling is heavily dependent on resolution and settings, which are GPU-bound tasks. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would remain similar across resolutions. Instead, the FPS drops consistently as resolution increases, proving the CPU has plenty of headroom.

The 32 MB of shared L3 cache and support for DDR5 memory with a bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s provide the CPU with fast access to data. The 3DMark scores reinforce this: the 16-thread score of 6879 is nearly identical to the max-thread score of 6845, showing efficient scaling. The CPU is more than capable of feeding the RX 570 with data; it is the GPU that cannot keep up with the demands of higher resolutions. The data concludes that upgrading the GPU would yield significant performance gains, while the CPU would remain a stable foundation.
