# Undisputed with AMD Ryzen 7 5700 + AMD Radeon RX 6600

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 produces a curious split personality in Undisputed: at 1080p the combination delivers high refresh rates that suggest headroom for esports-style play, but at 4K Ultra the frame rate collapses to a level that questions whether the GPU can sustain the visual fidelity the CPU can feed. This pairing sits at rank 2893 out of 3718 tested combos in the game, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the database, yet the measured FPS numbers reveal that settings and resolution matter more than the raw rank implies. The data shows a system that can be either a smooth 144Hz-capable machine or a borderline slideshow depending on how aggressively the user pushes graphical presets, and the bottleneck shifts decisively from CPU to GPU as resolution climbs.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a steep and consistent drop as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160, but the magnitude of that drop varies dramatically by settings preset. At Low settings, the average frame rate falls from 210 FPS at 1080p to 151 FPS at 1440p (a 28% reduction) and then to 96 FPS at 4K (another 36% reduction from the 1440p figure). This scaling pattern suggests the GPU is becoming the limiting factor at higher resolutions, but the absolute values remain playable even at 4K Low, which indicates the rendering load at Low settings is light enough for the RX 6600 to handle without severe strain.

At Medium settings, the scaling is more moderate in percentage terms but still shows a clear GPU-bound trend: 151 FPS at 1080p drops to 109 FPS at 1440p (a 28% decrease) and then to 69 FPS at 4K (a 37% further decrease). The High settings preset follows a similar trajectory with 125 FPS at 1080p, 90 FPS at 1440p (28% lower), and 57 FPS at 4K (37% lower than 1440p). This consistent 28%-then-37% pattern across Medium and High presets points to the GPU being the primary constraint—the pixel count doubles from 1080p to 1440p and again from 1440p to 4K, and the frame rate drops roughly proportionally to the pixel throughput demands.

The Ultra preset shows the most dramatic scaling collapse: 80 FPS at 1080p falls to 58 FPS at 1440p (a 27.5% reduction) and then to 37 FPS at 4K (a 36% further reduction). While the percentage drops are similar to other presets, the absolute values at 4K Ultra (37 FPS) fall below the threshold most users would consider smooth, and even 1440p Ultra at 58 FPS is borderline. The data implies that at 1080p High and below, the CPU (with its 8 cores and 16 threads) has enough headroom to keep the GPU fed, but as resolution climbs, the RX 6600's 8 GB VRAM and 128-bit memory bus become the decisive factor. The scaling pattern across all presets strongly indicates a GPU-bound scenario at 4K, while 1080p results (especially Low at 210 FPS) suggest the CPU can push far beyond what the GPU can render at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2893 out of 3718 tested combinations places this pairing in the 22nd percentile of all tested systems in Undisputed, meaning roughly 78% of tested combos perform better. This rank is notably lower than what the raw FPS numbers might suggest, particularly at 1080p Low where the system achieves 210 FPS. The discrepancy between rank and measured performance indicates that the database likely includes many higher-end GPU configurations that dominate at 4K and Ultra settings, where this combo's 37 FPS result drags down its overall standing.

Looking at the CPU's individual standing, the Ryzen 7 5700 sits at the 78th percentile against all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 25517. Its nearest rivals in the CPU database are the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (average score 25530, delta -0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U (average score 25485, delta +0.1%), the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (average score 25550, delta -0.1%), and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U (average score 25446, delta +0.3%). These deltas are all within 0.3% of the Ryzen 7 5700's score, which means the CPU is essentially tied with a spread of mobile and server processors—none of which are gaming-focused desktop parts, suggesting the Ryzen 7 5700's compute performance is solid but not exceptional relative to its immediate competition.

The GPU's individual standing is lower: the RX 6600 sits at the 63rd percentile against all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 19036. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 (average score 19030, delta 0%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile (average score 19049, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA Tesla K20m (average score 19089, delta -0.3%), and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada Generation (average score 18954, delta +0.4%). Again, the deltas are minimal (within 0.4%), but the mix of professional workstation cards and mobile parts among the rivals highlights that the RX 6600 sits in a crowded mid-range band. The combo rank being lower than either component's individual percentile suggests that Undisputed may be particularly demanding on the GPU at high settings, or that the game's performance profile does not favor this specific CPU-GPU pairing as much as generic benchmarks would indicate.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 23 chip, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 11,060 million transistors on a 237 mm² die. Its memory configuration consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The base clock is 1626 MHz with a boost clock of 2491 MHz and a game clock of 2044 MHz, while memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective). The GPU has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 28 ray tracing cores, producing a pixel rate of 159.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 279.0 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 8.928 TFLOPS with FP16 at 17.86 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio).

In Undisputed, the GPU's role becomes increasingly dominant as resolution rises. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 210 FPS, which is far beyond what most displays can show, indicating the GPU is not the bottleneck at that setting. However, at 4K Ultra, the frame rate drops to 37 FPS, which is a 82% reduction from the 1080p Low figure. This aligns with the GPU's modest 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 8 GB VRAM capacity—at 4K with Ultra settings, the game likely requires more memory bandwidth and possibly exceeds the VRAM buffer, causing the sharp performance cliff. The 128-bit memory bus is a known constraint for higher resolution workloads, and the data supports this: the 4K Medium result of 69 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS and maximum of 79 FPS shows that even mid-tier settings at 4K push the GPU to its limits.

The GPU's benchmark scores provide context: a PassMark G3D score of 15096 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1492, with a Vulkan score of 67623 and OpenCL score of 28850. These scores place the GPU at the 63rd percentile, which is respectable but not high-end. The Geekbench Metal score of 88398 indicates the GPU handles compute workloads reasonably well, but gaming performance at 4K in Undisputed clearly suffers. The data suggests that the RX 6600 is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where it can deliver 80-210 FPS depending on settings, but 4K is only viable at Low settings (96 FPS) or Medium settings (69 FPS), with Ultra being effectively unplayable at 37 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest performance across all settings. Low settings produce an average of 210 FPS, Medium averages 151 FPS with a minimum of 128 FPS and maximum of 173 FPS, High averages 125 FPS, and Ultra averages 80 FPS. The spread from 80 to 210 FPS shows that even at 1080p, settings have a massive impact on performance, with Ultra costing 62% of the frame rate compared to Low. The 1080p Medium result (151 FPS average) is identical to the 1440p Low result (151 FPS), which suggests that the rendering load at Medium 1080p is roughly equivalent to Low 1440p—this is a useful data point for users who want to prioritize visual quality versus resolution.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops noticeably. Low settings average 151 FPS, Medium averages 109 FPS with a minimum of 93 FPS and maximum of 125 FPS, High averages 90 FPS, and Ultra averages 58 FPS. The 1440p Ultra result at 58 FPS is right at the edge of smooth playability, and the minimum FPS data for Medium (93 FPS) suggests the system maintains consistent frame times without major stutters at this resolution and preset. The 1440p High result of 90 FPS is solid for competitive play, while 1440p Low at 151 FPS provides a high refresh rate experience.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings average 96 FPS, Medium averages 69 FPS with a minimum of 59 FPS and maximum of 79 FPS, High averages 57 FPS, and Ultra averages 37 FPS. Only the Low and Medium presets at 4K are playable, with High dipping below 60 FPS and Ultra falling well below that threshold. The 4K Medium minimum of 59 FPS indicates that even at this preset, there are moments where the frame rate approaches the 60 FPS line, which could cause visible judder on 60Hz displays. The 4K results clearly show that this combo is not designed for 4K gaming at high settings, and users with 4K monitors should stick to Low or Medium presets for a smooth experience.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings depend heavily on the user's display resolution and performance targets. For 1080p displays, the High preset at 125 FPS offers the best balance of visual quality and performance, as it maintains a frame rate well above 60 FPS and is smooth on 120Hz or 144Hz monitors. The Ultra preset at 80 FPS is also viable for users who prioritize visual fidelity over raw frame rate, and it still clears the 60 FPS threshold comfortably. The Medium preset at 151 FPS would be preferable for competitive players with 144Hz displays, as it provides a higher frame rate while sacrificing some visual quality.

For 1440p displays, the High preset at 90 FPS is the recommended choice for most users, as it delivers a smooth experience on 60Hz and 90Hz monitors while maintaining good visual quality. The Medium preset at 109 FPS is better for users with 120Hz or 144Hz displays, as it provides a higher frame rate at the cost of some visual detail. The Ultra preset at 58 FPS is borderline—it is technically playable but may feel inconsistent, so it is only recommended for users who strongly prefer visual quality over frame rate stability. The Low preset at 151 FPS is excessive for most 1440p displays (which typically max out at 144Hz or 165Hz), but it would be useful for esports-focused play.

For 4K displays, the data is clear: stick to Low (96 FPS) or Medium (69 FPS) presets. The Medium preset provides a better visual experience while still maintaining an average frame rate above 60 FPS, making it the recommended choice for 4K users. The Low preset at 96 FPS is smoother but significantly degrades visual quality. The High preset at 57 FPS and Ultra at 37 FPS are not recommended for 4K play, as they fall below the playability threshold. Users with 4K displays should accept that this combo cannot handle high or ultra settings at that resolution and should prioritize frame rate stability over visual fidelity.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a 5000 series processor based on the Zen 3 architecture (codename Cezanne), featuring 8 cores and 16 threads. It operates at a base clock of 3.70 GHz with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, and has a TDP of 65 W. The CPU is manufactured on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 10,700 million transistors on a 180 mm² die. Its cache configuration includes 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache. The memory support is DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, and it supports ECC memory. The CPU uses the AMD Socket AM4 and has PCIe Gen 3 with 20 lanes (CPU only).

In Undisputed, the CPU's role is most evident at 1080p Low settings, where the system achieves 210 FPS. This high frame rate indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough data to sustain very high frame rates at lower resolutions where the GPU is not heavily taxed. The 3DMark benchmarks show a single-thread score of 901 and a 16-thread score of 6628, with a max-thread score of 6617. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 20655 and single-core score of 2916 further demonstrate the CPU's strong multi-threaded performance relative to its single-thread capabilities. The Geekbench multicore score of 9959 and single-core score of 1907 reinforce this pattern.

The CPU's benchmark scores place it at the 78th percentile against all CPUs, which is a solid mid-to-high ranking. However, in Undisputed, the CPU's impact on frame rates becomes negligible at higher resolutions. The data shows that at 4K Ultra, the system only achieves 37 FPS, which is far below what the CPU could theoretically support. This indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at 4K, and the CPU's 8 cores and 16 threads are not being fully utilized at that resolution. The 3DMark 2-thread score of 1762 and 4-thread score of 3382 suggest that the CPU has strong single-and multi-threaded performance, but the game at 4K does not benefit from additional CPU headroom once the GPU becomes the bottleneck.

The PassMark multithread score of 24303 and single-thread score of 3296 (listed twice in the data as passmark_single_thread and passmark_singlethread) provide additional context. The CPU's performance in integer math (90091) and floating point math (51427) indicates strong compute capability, which could benefit games that use CPU-intensive physics or AI calculations. However, in Undisputed, the measured FPS data suggests that the CPU is not the limiting factor at any resolution above 1080p, and even at 1080p, the GPU at Ultra settings (80 FPS) is still the constraint. The CPU's role is to ensure consistent frame delivery without stutters, which is supported by the 1080p Medium minimum FPS of 128 and 1440p Medium minimum FPS of 93.
