Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the AMD Radeon RX 580 produces a performance profile in Undisputed that is clearly constrained by the graphics card. The data across the three tested resolutions reveals a predictable pattern of scaling, with the CPU’s headroom becoming apparent only at lower settings. This analysis breaks down the measured frame rates, contextualizes the combo’s standing among tested configurations, and offers guidance based strictly on the observed results.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data shows a steep and consistent decline as resolution increases from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160. At High settings, the average frame rate drops from 73 FPS at 1080p to 53 FPS at 1440p, and finally to 33 FPS at 4K. This represents a 54% reduction in average FPS from 1080p to 4K, a magnitude that strongly indicates the GPU is the limiting component. The RX 580’s 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and 256-bit bus width are being saturated by the increasing pixel count, while the Ryzen 7 5800XT’s 8 cores and 16 threads have ample capacity to feed frames at all resolutions.

The scaling pattern is similar across other settings presets. At Low settings, the average FPS falls from 122 at 1080p to 88 at 1440p and 56 at 4K. The relative drop from 1080p to 4K is 54%, identical to the High preset. At Medium settings, the averages are 88, 64, and 40 FPS respectively, with a 55% reduction from 1080p to 4K. The Ultra preset shows the most severe absolute decline, from 47 FPS at 1080p to 34 FPS at 1440p and 21 FPS at 4K, a 55% drop.

The consistency of this percentage decline across all four settings presets (ranging from 54% to 55%) is a strong indicator that the bottleneck is uniform. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the percentage drop would likely be steeper at lower resolutions where the CPU has more work to do relative to the GPU. Instead, the data suggests that even at 1080p Low, the RX 580 is the primary constraint, and the Ryzen 7 5800XT’s performance is never fully taxed. The 4K Ultra result of 21 FPS is particularly telling, as it falls below playable thresholds, confirming that this combination is not suited for maximum settings at the highest resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Undisputed, this specific pairing of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT and AMD Radeon RX 580 holds a rank of 3386 out of 3718 total combos. This places it in the lower percentile of tested systems, at roughly the 9th percentile from the top. The ranking reflects the GPU’s age and performance tier rather than the CPU’s capability, as the Ryzen 7 5800XT is a modern 8-core processor that sits in the 81st percentile of all CPUs in general benchmarks.

The GPU’s own standing reinforces this interpretation. The RX 580 is in the 53rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 12928. Its nearest rivals in the GPU benchmark database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile, which scores 12940 (a 0.1% difference), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, which scores 12986 (a 0.4% difference). These are all mid-range or older mobile parts, indicating that the RX 580 is positioned in the middle of the GPU performance spectrum, not at the top.

For the CPU, the Ryzen 7 5800XT has an average benchmark score of 29879 and is in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (score 29868, 0% difference) and the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (score 29955, a -0.3% difference). This shows that the CPU is performing at a level comparable to recent high-end laptop processors, which is far above what the RX 580 can utilize in most gaming scenarios. The combo rank of 3386 out of 3718 is therefore a direct reflection of the GPU’s limitations in Undisputed, not a statement about the CPU’s potential.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the combo’s performance across three resolutions and four settings presets. At 1920x1080, the results are as follows: Low settings yield an average of 122 FPS, Medium settings yield 88 FPS (with a minimum of 75 and maximum of 101), High settings yield 73 FPS, and Ultra settings yield 47 FPS. This shows a clear gradient, with the Ultra preset delivering less than half the frame rate of the Low preset.

At 2560x1440, the averages are 88 FPS for Low, 64 FPS for Medium (minimum 54, maximum 73), 53 FPS for High, and 34 FPS for Ultra. The step from Low to Medium is a 24 FPS drop, while the step from High to Ultra is a 19 FPS drop. The Medium preset at 1440p offers a playable experience, but the Ultra preset is marginal.

At 3840x2160, the averages are 56 FPS for Low, 40 FPS for Medium (minimum 34, maximum 46), 33 FPS for High, and 21 FPS for Ultra. The decline from Low to Ultra is 35 FPS, representing a 62.5% reduction in performance. The 4K Ultra result is the lowest single data point in the entire dataset, confirming that this resolution and settings combination is not viable for smooth gameplay.

The pattern across all resolutions is consistent: Low settings always provide the highest frame rates, followed by Medium, then High, with Ultra being the most demanding. The differences between presets are substantial, with a typical drop of 25-35% when moving from Low to Medium, and another 15-20% when moving from High to Ultra. The data suggests that users seeking a stable experience should prioritize either Low or Medium settings, depending on their resolution.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is a 14 nm graphics card based on the Polaris 20 chip, using the GCN 4.0 architecture. It has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units. The card operates at a base clock of 1257 MHz and a boost clock of 1340 MHz, with memory running at 2000 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The 8 GB of GDDR5 memory is connected via a 256-bit bus, providing a total bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s.

These specifications directly influence the measured FPS in Undisputed. The 8 GB memory capacity is sufficient for the game’s requirements at all tested resolutions, but the bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s becomes a limiting factor at higher resolutions where more texture data must be moved. This is evident in the consistent 54-55% FPS drop from 1080p to 4K, which aligns with the GPU’s inability to maintain frame rates as pixel count quadruples.

The GPU’s raw compute power is also a factor. The FP32 performance of 6.175 TFLOPS is modest by modern standards, and the pixel rate of 42.88 GPixel/s and texture rate of 193.0 GTexel/s are similarly limited. These numbers explain why the RX 580 struggles to exceed 33 FPS at 4K High settings. In synthetic benchmarks, the GPU scores 8813 in Passmark G3D and 45235 in Geekbench Metal, placing it in the 53rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, which is 0.4% faster, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile, which is 0.1% faster. This places the RX 580 at the edge of mid-range performance, a position that is clearly reflected in its inability to handle Undisputed at high settings on 4K displays.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal settings preset depends on the user’s target resolution and desired frame rate. At 1920x1080, the Medium preset is the best balance, delivering 88 FPS with a minimum of 75 FPS. This provides a smooth experience without the visual degradation of Low settings. The High preset at 73 FPS is also playable, but the drop to 47 FPS at Ultra makes that preset less desirable for competitive or fast-paced play.

At 2560x1440, the Medium preset is again the recommended choice, with an average of 64 FPS and a minimum of 54 FPS. This is a playable frame rate for most users, and the visual quality is acceptable. The High preset at 53 FPS is borderline, and the Ultra preset at 34 FPS is below the threshold for smooth motion. Users with 1440p displays should stick to Medium to ensure a consistent experience.

At 3840x2160, the situation is more challenging. The Low preset averages 56 FPS, which is playable, but the visual quality is significantly reduced. The Medium preset at 40 FPS is marginal, and the High preset at 33 FPS and Ultra preset at 21 FPS are not recommended for a smooth experience. For 4K users, the Low preset is the only viable option if frame rate is the priority, while those who value visual fidelity may need to accept lower frame rates or reduce their resolution.

The data clearly shows that the Medium preset is the sweet spot for this combo at 1080p and 1440p, offering a good balance of visual quality and performance. At 4K, users must make a trade-off between visual quality and playability, with Low settings being the only preset that consistently exceeds 50 FPS.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT is a 7 nm processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with the codename Vermeer. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.80 GHz. The CPU has a 32 MB shared L3 cache, along with 512 KB of L2 cache per core and 64 KB of L1 cache per core. It supports DDR4 memory with a dual-channel bus, providing a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s.

In synthetic benchmarks, the Ryzen 7 5800XT demonstrates strong multi-threaded performance. It scores 23794 in Cinebench R23 multi-core and 9993 in Cinebench R20 multi-core. Its single-thread scores are also respectable, with 3359 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 1410 in Cinebench R20 single-core. The CPU’s average benchmark score is 29879, placing it in the 81st percentile of all CPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H (score 29868) and the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (score 29955), both of which are within 0.3% of its performance.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic. The 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for a sports game, which typically does not scale beyond a few threads. The data suggests that the CPU is not a bottleneck in any of the tested configurations. The FPS differences between resolutions are consistent, and the CPU’s high benchmark scores indicate that it has significant headroom. Even at 1080p Low, where the CPU would be most likely to limit performance, the average FPS of 122 is achieved without any indication of a CPU constraint. The CPU’s 3.80 GHz base clock and 4.80 GHz boost clock provide ample single-thread performance, which is critical for games that rely on a primary thread for game logic.

The conclusion is that the Ryzen 7 5800XT is a capable processor that is not the limiting factor in this combo. The GPU is the clear bottleneck, and any performance improvements would require a more powerful graphics card. The CPU’s 81st percentile ranking and proximity to newer processors like the Ryzen 7 8845HS suggest that it has longevity, but its potential is wasted when paired with the RX 580 in Undisputed at high resolutions.
