# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + AMD Radeon RX 7600

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and AMD Radeon RX 7600 delivers a playable experience across most settings in Undisputed, with the sweet spot landing at Medium settings for 1440p and High settings for 1080p. The measured data shows this pairing ranks 2574th out of 3718 tested combos, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database, but the actual frame rates tell a more nuanced story depending on your resolution and quality preferences.

Settings Recommendations

For 1080p gaming, the data clearly supports High settings as the best balance of visual quality and performance. At 1920x1080 with High settings, the combo produces 137 FPS average, which is well above the 60 FPS threshold and leaves substantial headroom for competitive play. Dropping to Medium at the same resolution yields 165 FPS average, a 20% improvement, but the visual fidelity loss is rarely worth it when you are already comfortably above refresh rate targets. Ultra at 1080p drops to 88 FPS average, which remains playable but sacrifices the smoothness that the lower presets offer.

At 1440p, Medium settings are the clear recommendation. The 2560x1440 Medium preset delivers 119 FPS average with a minimum of 102 FPS and maximum of 137 FPS, providing a consistent experience that stays above 100 FPS throughout. High settings at this resolution drop to 99 FPS average, which is still acceptable, but the tighter frame pacing of Medium makes it the safer choice for maintaining smooth motion during quick exchanges. Low settings at 1440p push the frame rate to 166 FPS average, but the visual compromises in a sports title where you are watching character models and arena details are significant.

At 4K, the picture changes dramatically. Ultra settings at 3840x2160 produce only 40 FPS average, which is below the playable threshold for most users in a fast-paced sports game. High settings at 4K improve to 63 FPS average, making it marginally playable but with noticeable dips during intense sequences. Medium settings at 4K deliver 76 FPS average with a minimum of 64 FPS, which is the only 4K preset that offers a consistently smooth experience. If you must play at 4K, Medium is the only sensible choice from the measured data, but the performance gap between 1440p and 4K suggests most users will prefer the higher refresh rates available at lower resolutions.

The Low preset at any resolution provides the highest frame rates — 230 FPS at 1080p, 166 FPS at 1440p, and 105 FPS at 4K — but these numbers come with significant visual sacrifices that undermine the presentation of a sports game. The data indicates that the best overall experience is Medium at 1440p, where the combination of 119 FPS average and the 102-137 FPS range provides both smoothness and visual fidelity.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X brings 8 cores and 16 threads to this pairing, with a base clock of 3.60 GHz and boost clock of 4.40 GHz. This Zen 2 architecture processor from the 3000 series features 32 MB of L3 cache and supports DDR4 memory with dual-channel configuration. The CPU's performance profile shows it sits at the 84th percentile among all tested CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34260.

In the context of Undisputed, the CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are relevant but not the primary bottleneck. The benchmark data for the processor shows strong multi-core performance with a Cinebench R15 multicore score of 2092 and Geekbench multicore score of 8899, while single-core performance is more modest at 204 and 1593 respectively for those same tests. The Passmark multithread score of 22458 further confirms the CPU's ability to handle multiple threads, but the game's performance scaling across resolutions indicates that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases.

The nearest rivals to this CPU in terms of overall benchmark scores include the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 with a delta of 0.1% higher, the AMD EPYC 4244P also at 0.1% higher, the Intel Core i5-13450HX at 0.2% lower, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H at 0.5% higher. These margins are negligible, meaning the 3700X is competitively positioned against much newer processors in general compute tasks, though its single-thread performance lags behind the latest architectures.

For Undisputed specifically, the CPU's 8 cores provide ample headroom for the game's logic and AI calculations, but the measured FPS data shows that the game's frame rates are more sensitive to GPU settings and resolution changes than to CPU load. The fact that frame rates scale predictably with resolution — dropping from 137 FPS at 1080p High to 99 FPS at 1440p High to 63 FPS at 4K High — indicates that the RX 7600 is the primary determinant of performance in this title, with the CPU maintaining sufficient throughput to avoid becoming a bottleneck even at lower resolutions where CPU load would be relatively higher.

This places the pairing firmly in the lower half of the database, but the measured FPS data shows that the actual gaming experience is acceptable at most settings and resolutions. The rank should be interpreted as an overall performance indicator rather than a reflection of playability, since the frame rates achieved at 1080p and 1440p are well within playable ranges.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear pattern of performance scaling across resolutions. At High settings, the frame rate drops from 137 FPS at 1080p to 99 FPS at 1440p — a 28% decrease — and then to 63 FPS at 4K, a further 36% decrease from 1440p. This progressive decline indicates that the GPU is the dominant factor in determining performance, as the CPU load does not change significantly with resolution while the GPU workload increases substantially.

At Low settings, the scaling is even more pronounced: 230 FPS at 1080p drops to 166 FPS at 1440p (28% decrease) and then to 105 FPS at 4K (37% decrease from 1440p). The consistent ~28% penalty from 1080p to 1440p and ~36-37% penalty from 1440p to 4K across different settings presets suggests that the RX 7600's rendering throughput is the primary constraint, with the CPU maintaining adequate frame delivery even at lower resolutions where the CPU would theoretically be more stressed.

At Medium settings, the data includes minimum and maximum FPS values that provide additional insight. At 1080p Medium, the range is 141-190 FPS with an average of 165. At 1440p Medium, the range narrows to 102-137 FPS with an average of 119. At 4K Medium, the range is 64-87 FPS with an average of 76. The narrowing range as resolution increases — from 49 FPS spread at 1080p to 35 FPS at 1440p to 23 FPS at 4K — indicates that the GPU becomes more consistently saturated at higher resolutions, reducing frame time variance.

The performance drop from 1080p to 4K at each settings level is substantial: 36% at High (137 to 63 FPS), 35% at Low (230 to 105 FPS), 54% at Medium (165 to 76 FPS), and 55% at Ultra (88 to 40 FPS). The larger percentage drops at Medium and Ultra settings suggest that these presets impose additional GPU workloads that scale more steeply with resolution, while Low and High settings have more balanced scaling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the full range of settings was measured. Low settings deliver the highest performance with 230 FPS average. Medium settings produce 165 FPS average with a minimum of 141 FPS and maximum of 190 FPS. High settings achieve 137 FPS average, and Ultra settings drop to 88 FPS average. The progression from Low to Ultra shows a consistent decline, with each step up in quality costing roughly 25-50 FPS.

Medium settings produce 119 FPS average with a minimum of 102 FPS and maximum of 137 FPS. High settings achieve 99 FPS average, and Ultra settings drop to 64 FPS average. The 1440p results show that Medium settings maintain a comfortable margin above 100 FPS, while High settings hover just below that threshold.

At 3840x2160, the GPU's limitations become apparent. Low settings deliver 105 FPS average, which is still playable. Medium settings produce 76 FPS average with a minimum of 64 FPS and maximum of 87 FPS. High settings achieve 63 FPS average, and Ultra settings drop to 40 FPS average. The 4K results illustrate that this combo is only viable at Medium settings or lower for consistent 60+ FPS gameplay.

The minimum FPS data available only for Medium settings across all three resolutions — 141 at 1080p, 102 at 1440p, and 64 at 4K — shows that this preset provides the most consistent frame pacing. The minimum values at 1080p and 1440p are well above 60 FPS, ensuring smooth gameplay even during complex scenes with multiple fighters and crowd animations. At 4K Medium, the 64 FPS minimum is just above the 60 FPS threshold, making it the only 4K preset that guarantees a playable experience throughout.

The maximum FPS values at Medium settings — 190 at 1080p, 137 at 1440p, and 87 at 4K — indicate that the combo has headroom in less demanding scenes, but the average FPS provides the more reliable indicator of sustained performance. The data overall shows that this pairing is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K reserved for users willing to accept Medium settings and occasional dips below 60 FPS.
