Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 580 pairing delivers a playable but strictly mainstream experience in Undisputed, with performance that hinges heavily on resolution and settings. The data indicates a system that is clearly GPU-bound at higher resolutions, while the CPU’s 8-core/16-thread Zen 3 architecture provides ample headroom at 1080p. This combination ranks in the lower percentile of tested combos, so expectations should be tempered for high-refresh-rate or maxed-out 4K play.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a steep performance cliff as resolution increases, which is the classic signature of a GPU-limited configuration. At 1080p with Low settings, the combo produces an average of 122 FPS. Moving to 1440p Low drops that to 88 FPS, a 28% reduction, and at 4K Low the average falls further to 56 FPS, which is 54% lower than the 1080p result. This scaling pattern shows that the RX 580’s pixel throughput is the primary bottleneck once the resolution climbs, not the Ryzen 7 5700’s processing power.

The gap between 1440p and 4K is particularly telling. At Medium settings, the average FPS drops from 64 at 1440p to 40 at 4K, a 37.5% loss. For High settings, the drop is from 53 at 1440p to 33 at 4K, a 37.7% loss. These consistent percentage drops across settings indicate that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are being saturated at 4K, rather than any specific setting causing a disproportionate penalty. The 256-bit memory bus and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth on the RX 580 are simply insufficient to feed the frame buffer at 3840x2160 without significant frame rate erosion.

At 1080p, however, the picture changes. The jump from Low (122 FPS) to Medium (88 FPS) is a 27.9% drop, but the jump from Medium to High (73 FPS) is only 17%. This suggests that the CPU can still feed the GPU adequately at 1080p, and the frame rate is being dictated more by the GPU’s shader workload. The fact that 1080p Ultra still manages 47 FPS, while 4K Ultra falls to 21 FPS, reinforces that the RX 580 is the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 5700’s 3.70 GHz base and 4.60 GHz boost clocks, combined with 16 MB of L3 cache, are more than adequate for this sports title’s physics and AI at lower resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

In the grand scheme of tested hardware combinations for Undisputed, this pairing sits at rank 3386 out of 3718 combos. That places it in the bottom 8.9% of all tested systems, which is a sobering statistic for anyone expecting high-end performance. The combo’s percentile ranking is dragged down primarily by the GPU, which itself only sits at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, while the CPU is much stronger at the 78th percentile among all CPUs.

This disparity between CPU and GPU percentile is the key takeaway. The Ryzen 7 5700’s average benchmark score of 25517 places it within 0.1% of the Intel Xeon D-2752TER and 0.3% ahead of the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U. In synthetic multi-threaded tests like Cinebench R23, it scores 20655, which is a strong result for a 65W TDP part. The RX 580, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 12928, sitting just 0.4% behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER and 0.5% ahead of the AMD Radeon 740M. This means the GPU is roughly equivalent to a mid-range card from several generations ago, while the CPU is a modern, capable 8-core processor.

For Undisputed specifically, the rank of 3386 out of 3718 suggests that most other tested combos outperform this one. The data indicates that while the CPU is not holding the system back at 1080p, the GPU’s 53rd percentile standing means it will struggle to keep up with more modern pairings at higher resolutions. Users should view this combo as a balanced but dated pairing that prioritizes CPU headroom for productivity over raw gaming frame rates at 4K.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is the decisive component in this pairing’s gaming performance. Its GCN 4.0 architecture, built on a 14 nm process, provides 2304 shading units and 144 texture mapping units, but only 32 ROPs. The 32 ROPs are a significant limitation at 4K, as the pixel fill rate of 42.88 GPixel/s is quickly overwhelmed when pushing 3840x2160 resolution. The texture rate of 193.0 GTexel/s is more respectable, but it does not compensate for the ROP bottleneck at high resolutions.

The GPU’s memory configuration is another critical factor. The 8 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus provides 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. While 8 GB is sufficient for most titles at 1080p and 1440p, the bandwidth becomes a constraint at 4K, particularly with High or Ultra settings that demand more texture data. The memory clock runs at 2000 MHz, translating to 8 Gbps effective, which was competitive at launch but is now dated compared to newer GDDR6 solutions.

Clock speeds on the RX 580 are modest by modern standards. The base clock of 1257 MHz and boost clock of 1340 MHz are relatively low, which explains why the FP32 performance is capped at 6.175 TFLOPS. This raw compute throughput is the reason the card performs adequately at 1080p Low (122 FPS) but collapses to 21 FPS at 4K Ultra. The GPU’s 185W TDP is also notable, as it requires a 450W suggested PSU and a single 8-pin power connector, which is reasonable for a card of this era.

The RX 580’s benchmark results corroborate the FPS data. Its Passmark G3D score of 8813 and 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1005 indicate a card that is firmly in the mid-range tier. The nearest rivals, such as the RTX 3050 Ti Mobile and GTX 1660 SUPER, are within 0.4% of its average score, which means the RX 580 is competitive with those parts in synthetic tests. However, in Undisputed, the GPU’s age shows in the 4K results, where the 32 ROPs become a hard ceiling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of performance across three resolutions and four settings levels. At 1080p, the combo is most comfortable, with Low settings producing an average of 122 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors. Medium settings yield 88 FPS with a minimum of 75 and a maximum of 101, offering a smooth experience with some visual improvements. High settings drop to 73 FPS, which is still playable for most users. Ultra settings, however, fall to 47 FPS, which introduces noticeable stutter in a fast-paced sports title.

At 1440p, the performance becomes more variable. Low settings maintain a respectable 88 FPS, but Medium drops to 64 FPS with a range of 54 to 73. High settings produce 53 FPS, which is borderline for competitive play. Ultra settings are the first major disappointment, falling to 34 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. The 1440p results show a clear pattern: the RX 580 can handle 1440p with reduced settings, but it cannot sustain high frame rates with quality presets.

At 4K, the data reveals severe limitations. Low settings produce 56 FPS, which is playable but not ideal. Medium settings drop to 40 FPS with a minimum of 34 and a maximum of 46, indicating inconsistent frame pacing. High settings fall to 33 FPS, and Ultra settings plummet to 21 FPS, rendering the game nearly unplayable. The 4K results are consistently poor across all settings, confirming that this resolution is beyond the RX 580’s capabilities for Undisputed.

The frame time consistency also degrades with resolution. At 1080p Medium, the spread between minimum and maximum FPS is 26 FPS (75 to 101), which is a reasonable variance. At 1440p Medium, the spread is 19 FPS (54 to 73), showing tighter grouping but lower averages. At 4K Medium, the spread is 12 FPS (34 to 46), indicating that the GPU is hitting a hard performance ceiling rather than fluctuating due to workload changes.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal settings for this combo depend entirely on the display resolution. At 1080p, the Medium preset offers the best balance, delivering 88 FPS with a minimum of 75 FPS. This ensures the frame rate stays above 60 FPS even during intense gameplay moments, which is crucial for a boxing game where timing is everything. The 88 FPS average is also high enough to take advantage of a 144Hz monitor without dropping into the 60s. High settings at 73 FPS are acceptable, but the 15 FPS gain from dropping to Medium is worth the visual trade-off for smoother motion.

At 1440p, the Low preset is the only reliable option for consistent 60+ FPS gameplay, averaging 88 FPS. Medium settings at 64 FPS are playable, but the minimum of 54 FPS means there will be noticeable drops during heavy effects. High settings at 53 FPS are borderline, and Ultra at 34 FPS is not recommended. For users with a 1440p display, Low settings provide the best experience, as the visual difference between Low and Medium is less impactful than the frame rate stability.

At 4K, the data suggests that this combo is not suited for the resolution. Even Low settings at 56 FPS are marginal, and Medium at 40 FPS will feel sluggish. The recommendation is to avoid 4K entirely or accept that the game will run at sub-60 FPS with significant compromises. If forced to use 4K, Low settings are the only viable option, but users should expect a suboptimal experience.

The Ultra preset is consistently poor across all resolutions, with 47 FPS at 1080p, 34 FPS at 1440p, and 21 FPS at 4K. The 32 ROPs on the RX 580 cannot handle the additional post-processing and shadow effects at Ultra, so this preset should be avoided. The sweet spot for this combo is 1080p Medium, which offers the best combination of visual fidelity and performance, or 1440p Low for those with higher-resolution displays.
