Undisputed

# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + AMD Radeon RX 570

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 570 produces a spread of results across Undisputed that clearly separates the playable range from the aspirational. At 1080p, the combo delivers respectable frame rates that drop off sharply as resolution increases, with the GPU emerging as the primary constraint at 4K. The measured data shows a system that can handle competitive boxing at lower resolutions but struggles to maintain smooth motion at higher pixel counts, ranking 3547 out of 3718 tested combinations in this game.

Resolution Scaling

The transition from 1080p to 4K exposes a steep performance cliff for this pairing. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 110 FPS at 1920x1080 to 80 FPS at 2560x1440, then to 50 FPS at 3840x2160. That represents a 27% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a further 38% drop from 1440p to 4K. The scaling pattern indicates that the Radeon RX 570's rendering capacity is being taxed heavily as pixel count increases.

Medium settings tell a similar story. The average FPS goes from 79 at 1080p to 57 at 1440p, then down to 36 at 4K. The drop between 1080p and 1440p is roughly 28%, while the 1440p-to-4K transition costs another 37%. This consistent scaling pattern—around a quarter to a third loss per resolution step—suggests the GPU is the limiting component throughout, with the CPU having enough headroom to keep feeding frames even at lower resolutions.

High settings show the same trend but with a more severe absolute decline. Starting at 66 FPS in 1080p, the average falls to 47 FPS at 1440p (a 29% reduction) and then to 30 FPS at 4K (a 36% reduction from 1440p). The 4K High result of 30 FPS sits right at the edge of what most players would consider acceptable, and the Ultra preset pushes it further down to 19 FPS, which is effectively unplayable for a fast-paced sports title.

The scaling behavior reveals that this combo is best suited for 1080p gaming. At 4K, even the Low preset only manages 50 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS target that many players prefer. The data suggests that the RX 570's 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth are insufficient to feed the pixel pipeline at higher resolutions without significant compromises to visual quality.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured frame rates, the Medium preset at 1080p offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance for this combination. The 79 FPS average with a minimum of 67 FPS and maximum of 91 FPS provides a smooth experience that stays comfortably above common refresh rate thresholds. The minimum frame rate is particularly important here, as it indicates the floor stays above 60 FPS, avoiding noticeable hitches during intense boxing exchanges.

For players who prioritize frame rate above all else, the Low preset at 1080p delivers 110 FPS on average, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. The jump from Low to Medium costs 31 FPS (from 110 to 79), which is a substantial trade for the visual improvements. However, the Medium preset's minimum of 67 FPS is still well within acceptable bounds, making it the recommended choice for most users.

At 1440p, the Medium preset produces 57 FPS with a minimum of 49 FPS. This is borderline playable but may feel sluggish during fast-paced moments. The Low preset at 1440p reaches 80 FPS, which is smoother, but the visual downgrade is noticeable. The High preset at 1440p drops to 47 FPS, which is below the ideal range for competitive play.

The Ultra preset is not recommended at any resolution. At 1080p it only achieves 42 FPS, at 1440p it falls to 31 FPS, and at 4K it bottoms out at 19 FPS. These results suggest that the Ultra preset demands more from the hardware than this combo can deliver, and the visual improvements over High are unlikely to justify the frame rate penalty. The data indicates that Medium at 1080p is the sweet spot, with Low at 1080p as the performance alternative and Medium at 1440p as the acceptable compromise for higher resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is built on the Polaris 20 chip with GCN 4.0 architecture, fabricated on a 14 nm process. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1168 MHz with a boost clock of 1244 MHz, and its 4 GB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1750 MHz (7 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding 224.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The card's pixel rate is rated at 39.81 GPixel/s, and its texture rate reaches 159.2 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance of 5.095 TFLOPS.

In the context of Undisputed, the GPU's 4 GB memory capacity appears to be a limiting factor at higher resolutions. The 4K results show a dramatic drop across all settings, with the Ultra preset falling to 19 FPS. This pattern is consistent with a GPU that runs out of memory bandwidth or capacity when pushed to 3840x2160, forcing the system to use slower memory paths. The 256-bit bus width provides reasonable bandwidth for 1080p, but the demands of 4K overwhelm the available resources.

The RX 570's benchmark scores place it at the 74th percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 28766. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (scoring 28874, just 0.4% higher), the AMD Radeon R9 M295X (28580, 0.7% lower), the AMD Radeon RX 470 (28996, 0.8% higher), and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 (28421, 1.2% lower). These close margins indicate that the RX 570 sits in a competitive performance band, though the more modern RX 6800M edges it out slightly.

The GPU's 150 W TDP and dual-slot design make it a straightforward installation, with a single 6-pin power connector and a suggested PSU of 450 W. The card supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, which covers the API requirements for Undisputed. The display outputs include one DVI, one HDMI 2.0b, and three DisplayPort 1.4a connectors, providing flexibility for various monitor setups.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 3547 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 5% of all tested configurations, which is a significant finding given the individual components' mid-range positioning. The rank suggests that this pairing is not well-suited to Undisputed's performance demands, likely due to the GPU being a bottleneck at higher settings.

The CPU alone performs at the 78th percentile among all processors, which indicates it is a solid mid-to-upper tier component. However, the GPU sits at the 74th percentile, and when combined, the system's overall ranking in this specific game drops dramatically. This discrepancy highlights that Undisputed is particularly demanding on the graphics subsystem, and the RX 570's capabilities are insufficient to leverage the CPU's full potential.

With 3718 tested combos, the 3547th rank means that 170 configurations performed worse, while 3546 performed better. This puts the combo in the lower echelon for this game, suggesting that players using this setup would need to rely on lower settings or resolutions to achieve playable frame rates. The data indicates that the RX 570 is the primary bottleneck, as the Ryzen 7 5700 has the processing power to handle the game's physics and AI calculations but is held back by the GPU's rendering limits.
