Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 combination delivers a highly capable experience in Undisputed, with frame rates that scale predictably across resolutions and settings. The data indicates a system that is well-balanced for high-refresh-rate 1080p and 1440p play, while 4K Ultra remains a demanding target. This analysis breaks down the measured performance, the role of each component, and how this specific pairing ranks against other tested configurations.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and consistent pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. The most significant drop occurs when moving from 1440p to 4K, particularly at higher settings presets. At Ultra settings, the average frame rate falls from 80 FPS at 2560x1440 to 50 FPS at 3840x2160, representing a 37.5% reduction. This steep decline at 4K suggests that the AMD Radeon RX 7700’s rendering capabilities are being heavily taxed, as the pixel count nearly doubles.

The scaling pattern across all settings points to the GPU as the primary limiting factor at higher resolutions. For instance, at High settings, the transition from 1080p to 1440p results in a drop from 171 FPS to 124 FPS, a 27.5% decrease. However, the jump from 1440p to 4K at High settings is more severe, falling from 124 FPS to 78 FPS, a 37.1% decrease. This non-linear scaling is a classic indicator of GPU-bound performance, where the additional pixel throughput demands exceed the card’s fillrate and memory bandwidth capabilities. The RX 7700’s 16 GB of GDDR6 memory and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient, but the sheer number of pixels at 4K overwhelms the processing power.

At Low settings, the frame rates are exceptionally high, reaching 288 FPS at 1080p and 208 FPS at 1440p. Even at 4K Low, the system maintains an average of 132 FPS. This suggests that when the graphical load is minimized, the CPU and GPU can work efficiently without bottlenecking. The gap between Low and Ultra settings widens as resolution increases. At 1080p, the difference between Low (288 FPS) and Ultra (110 FPS) is 178 FPS. At 4K, this gap narrows to 82 FPS, as the GPU becomes the sole constraint, and even Low settings require significant pixel processing.

The data implies that for 4K gaming, users should expect to dial back settings to Medium or High to achieve smooth gameplay, as Ultra dips to 50 FPS. Conversely, at 1080p, the system has ample headroom, with even Ultra settings (110 FPS) providing a smooth experience on high-refresh-rate monitors.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 is a Zen 3 architecture processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, a base clock of 3.70 GHz, and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. Its benchmark scores indicate strong multi-threaded and single-threaded performance. The 3dmark_16_threads score of 6628 and cinebench_r23_multicore score of 20655 demonstrate its capability to handle demanding workloads. The single-thread score of 901 in 3dmark_single_thread, while lower relative to newer CPUs, is sufficient for gaming applications that often rely on fewer, faster cores.

In the context of Undisputed, a sports game, the CPU’s role is primarily to manage game logic, physics, and AI, while the GPU handles rendering. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 288 FPS. This exceptionally high frame rate suggests that the CPU is not a limiting factor at this resolution and setting, as it can feed the GPU with enough data to maintain such high output. The 8-core, 16-thread configuration ensures that background tasks and game threads have ample resources.

However, the CPU’s influence becomes more apparent when examining the scaling from Low to Ultra at the same resolution. At 1080p, the frame rate drops from 288 FPS (Low) to 171 FPS (High) and 110 FPS (Ultra). This drop is primarily due to increased GPU load, but the CPU must also handle more draw calls and physics calculations for higher graphical fidelity. The Ryzen 7 5700’s boost clock of 4.60 GHz helps maintain responsiveness, but the game’s engine may not be optimized for multi-threading, meaning the single-thread performance is more critical. The 3dmark_2_threads score of 1762 and geekbench_singlecore score of 1907 are moderate, suggesting that the CPU can keep up with modern game engines without becoming a bottleneck at standard settings.

The CPU’s memory support for DDR4 with dual-channel configuration and 51.2 GB/s bandwidth is adequate for this gaming workload. The 16 MB of L3 cache is also beneficial for storing frequently accessed game data. Overall, the Ryzen 7 5700 provides a solid foundation, ensuring that the GPU is the primary determinant of frame rates, especially at higher resolutions.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the target resolution and desired frame rate. For 1920x1080, the High preset (171 FPS) offers an excellent balance between visual quality and performance, providing well over 144 FPS for high-refresh-rate displays. The Medium preset (207 FPS) is also viable, offering even higher frame rates with a slight reduction in visual fidelity. The Ultra preset (110 FPS) is playable but may not fully utilize a 144Hz monitor’s potential. The Low preset (288 FPS) is excessive for most displays but useful for competitive play where maximum frame rates are prioritized.

At 2560x1440, the High preset (124 FPS) is the recommended choice, as it delivers smooth gameplay above 120 FPS while maintaining good visual quality. The Medium preset (150 FPS) provides a significant boost for high-refresh-rate 1440p monitors, though users must accept reduced graphical settings. The Ultra preset (80 FPS) is playable but not ideal for fast-paced action, as frame pacing may suffer. The Low preset (208 FPS) offers the highest performance but at a significant visual cost.

For 3840x2160, the Medium preset (95 FPS) is the best option, balancing visual quality and performance for a smooth experience. The High preset (78 FPS) is also acceptable, though users may notice slight stuttering in demanding scenes. The Ultra preset (50 FPS) is not recommended for competitive play, as the frame rate is too low for smooth gameplay.
