Undisputed

The data for Undisputed with the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 shows a configuration heavily constrained by its graphics processor. The Radeon RX 570, a 14nm Polaris part with a 150 W TDP, is the primary bottleneck across nearly every measured scenario, with the CPU's headroom only becoming apparent at the lowest settings. This pairing ranks near the bottom of the database, but the measured FPS reveals a clear path for playable performance if settings are managed carefully.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 produces a steep and consistent performance drop, confirming that the GPU is the limiting component. At High settings, the average frame rate falls from 68.3 FPS at 1080p to 47.5 FPS at 1440p, then down to 30.1 FPS at 4K. This represents a 30.4% reduction when moving from 1080p to 1440p, and a further 36.6% reduction from 1440p to 4K. The scaling is not linear; the pixel count increase from 1440p to 4K is larger than from 1080p to 1440p, and the RX 570's 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 4 GB GDDR5 frame buffer are increasingly taxed.

At Low settings, the pattern repeats but with higher absolute numbers. The RX 570 delivers 109.6 FPS at 1080p, which drops to 78 FPS at 1440p (a 28.8% decrease) and then to 51.9 FPS at 4K (a 33.5% decrease). The fact that 4K Low still produces above 50 FPS while 1080p Ultra produces only 39.9 FPS indicates that the GPU's raw compute—5.095 TFLOPS FP32—is sufficient for the game's physics and geometry, but the memory subsystem and fill rate are overwhelmed by higher resolutions and more complex shading.

The most telling comparison is between Medium and High settings. At 1080p, the gap is only 10.5 FPS (78.8 vs. 68.3), but at 4K, the gap narrows to just 3.7 FPS (33.8 vs. 30.1). This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is so saturated that the difference between Medium and High is negligible, with both being limited by the same bottleneck. The Ultra preset, which pushes the 4K average down to 18.9 FPS, is essentially unplayable at that resolution, while 1080p Ultra at 39.9 FPS is marginally better but still below the 60 FPS threshold.

GPU Role

The Radeon RX 570 operates with a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz, paired with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory running at an effective 7 Gbps over a 256-bit bus. This configuration yields 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth, which is a critical constraint for Undisputed at higher resolutions. The GPU's 2048 shading units and 128 texture mapping units handle the game's character models and ring environments, but the 4 GB frame buffer becomes a limiting factor at 4K, where texture data exceeds available capacity, forcing the driver to manage memory more aggressively.

The GPU's benchmarks place it at the 74th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 30158. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (avg score 30109, deltaPct 0.2), AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (avg score 30097, deltaPct 0.2), NVIDIA Tesla M60 (avg score 29969, deltaPct 0.6), and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile (avg score 29928, deltaPct 0.8). These scores suggest that the RX 570 is performing near the level of much newer cards in synthetic tests, but the Undisputed results tell a different story due to the game's specific demands on memory bandwidth and fill rate.

The 4 GB memory size is the most consequential spec for this game. At 1080p Low, the GPU can maintain 109.6 FPS, but the frame rate drops by 30 FPS when moving to Medium (78.8 FPS), which likely corresponds to higher-resolution textures that exceed the 4 GB capacity. The 256-bit bus helps mitigate this, but the 7 Gbps effective memory speed is modest by modern standards. The CPU, meanwhile, with 6 cores and 12 threads on Zen 4 architecture, is not the limiting factor in any measured configuration, as evidenced by the fact that even at 1080p Low, the frame rate is only 109.6 FPS despite the CPU's 82nd percentile ranking among all processors.

FAQ

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

A: The data shows 1920x1080 as the only resolution where the average FPS exceeds 60 on any preset, with Low hitting 109.6 FPS and Medium hitting 78.8 FPS. At 2560x1440, only Low (78 FPS) and Medium (59.8 FPS) approach playable levels, while 3840x2160 is generally too demanding.

Q: Is the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F holding back the Radeon RX 570?

A: No, the CPU's benchmark scores—including a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20851 and a PassMark multithread score of 24530—indicate it has ample headroom. The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K is consistent with a GPU bottleneck, not a CPU one.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to its nearest rivals in the database?

A: In the database's average benchmark scores, the RX 570 (30158) is nearly identical to the RTX 5060 (30109, deltaPct 0.2) and RX 7700 XT (30097, deltaPct 0.2), and slightly ahead of the Tesla M60 (29969, deltaPct 0.6) and RTX 5070 Mobile (29928, deltaPct 0.8). This is surprising given the RX 570's 2017 release date.

Q: What is the playable frame rate at 4K Ultra?

A: The measured average FPS is 18.9, which is far below the 30 FPS minimum generally considered playable. Even 4K High at 30.1 FPS is borderline, while 4K Medium at 33.8 FPS is the lowest acceptable option at that resolution.

*Q: Does the RX 570's 4 GB VRAM cause issues in Undisputed?*

A: Yes, the evidence points to VRAM limitations. The substantial FPS drop from Low to Medium at 1080p (109.6 to 78.8) suggests texture loading at Medium exceeds the 4 GB capacity, and the further drop to High (68.3) and Ultra (39.9) reinforces this pattern.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested combinations?

A: It ranks 1521 out of 1580 combos, placing it in the bottom 3.7% of all configurations tested in the database. This is consistent with the GPU's age and the game's demanding nature.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS, the optimal experience is 1920x1080 with Medium settings. This yields 78.8 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS target and provides a significant visual upgrade over Low (109.6 FPS). The difference between Medium and High at 1080p is only 10.5 FPS, but the Medium preset offers a better balance of performance and quality, especially considering that the GPU's 4 GB VRAM appears to be a limiting factor.

For users with a 1440p monitor, the only viable option is Low settings, which delivers 78 FPS. Medium at 1440p drops to 59.8 FPS, which is playable but leaves no headroom for frame time spikes. High at 1440p (47.5 FPS) and Ultra (31 FPS) are not recommended for smooth gameplay. At 4K, the situation is dire—Low at 51.9 FPS is the only preset that approaches playability, while Medium (33.8 FPS) and High (30.1 FPS) are marginal, and Ultra (18.9 FPS) is unplayable.

The data indicates that the RX 570's sweet spot is 1080p Medium, where the GPU's 2048 shading units and 128 TMUs are fully utilized without exceeding the 4 GB frame buffer. The 5.095 TFLOPS FP32 compute is sufficient for the game's load, but the 224.0 GB/s bandwidth is the limiting factor at higher resolutions. Users should prioritize resolution over preset quality—lowering the resolution to 1080p allows for Medium or High settings, while attempting 1440p or 4K forces Low settings to maintain acceptable frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 1521 out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed, placing it in the bottom 3.7% of the database. This is a poor result, but the ranking is primarily due to the GPU's limitations rather than the CPU. The Ryzen 5 8400F's benchmark scores—including an average benchmark score of 25064 and a percentile rank of 82nd among all CPUs—are respectable, but the RX 570's performance is constrained by its 4 GB VRAM and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth.

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X (avg score 25057, deltaPct 0), AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (avg score 25099, deltaPct -0.1), AMD EPYC 9474F (avg score 25103, deltaPct -0.2), and AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (avg score 24993, deltaPct 0.3). These scores indicate that the 8400F is essentially matched with the 2700X in synthetic tests, despite being released years later. However, in Undisputed, the CPU's performance is adequate—the bottleneck is clearly the GPU, as evidenced by the consistent FPS drops across resolutions.

The GPU's nearest rivals, on the other hand, are much newer and more powerful cards, yet their average benchmark scores are nearly identical to the RX 570. This is a quirk of the database's scoring methodology, but it does not translate to real-world gaming performance. In Undisputed, the RX 570's age shows, and the combo's overall ranking reflects this. The 1521st place ranking out of 1580 combos means that only 59 other configurations performed worse, which aligns with the GPU's 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs (meaning 26% of GPUs are worse) but is dragged down by the game's specific demands.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average FPS values are as follows: Low settings produce 109.6 FPS, Medium produces 78.8 FPS, High produces 68.3 FPS, and Ultra produces 39.9 FPS. The progression from Low to Medium is a 28.1% drop, from Medium to High is a 13.3% drop, and from High to Ultra is a 41.6% drop. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, and the 39.9 FPS average is below the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, the results are: Low 78 FPS, Medium 59.8 FPS, High 47.5 FPS, and Ultra 31 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is 28.8% for Low, 24.1% for Medium, 30.4% for High, and 22.3% for Ultra. The Medium preset at 1440p delivers just under 60 FPS, making it the only preset at this resolution that approaches playable levels. The Ultra preset at 31 FPS is 22.2% below the 1080p Ultra result.

At 3840x2160, the results are: Low 51.9 FPS, Medium 33.8 FPS, High 30.1 FPS, and Ultra 18.9 FPS. The drop from 1440p to 4K is 33.5% for Low, 43.5% for Medium, 36.6% for High, and 39.0% for Ultra. The 4K Low result of 51.9 FPS is the only playable option at this resolution, while Ultra at 18.9 FPS is less than half of the 1080p Low result.

The data shows a clear pattern: the RX 570 can handle Undisputed at 1080p with medium-to-high settings, but struggles at higher resolutions. The 4 GB VRAM and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are the limiting factors, as the GPU's compute power (5.095 TFLOPS) is sufficient for the game's physics at lower settings. The CPU's contribution is minimal, as the Ryzen 5 8400F's 6 cores and 12 threads on Zen 4 architecture provide more than enough processing power for this sports title. The combo's overall ranking of 1521 out of 1580 reflects the GPU's age, but the measured FPS shows that with careful settings selection, a playable experience is achievable.
