Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the AMD Radeon RX 6600 presents a compelling mid-range configuration for Undisputed. The data shows a system that can handle the boxing sim with ease at standard resolutions, but which begins to show its limits when pushed to the extremes of 4K and maximum graphical fidelity. The benchmark results indicate a CPU that is more than capable of feeding the GPU, positioning the RX 6600 as the primary factor in performance scaling across the board.

Resolution Scaling

The measured FPS data reveals a clear and predictable pattern of performance degradation as resolution increases, a classic sign of a GPU-bound workload. At 1080p, the combo is exceptionally fast, with the Low preset delivering an average of 209.8 FPS. This high frame rate at a lower resolution indicates that the CPU is doing its job; the Ryzen 7 5800XT is not a bottleneck at this level.

As we move to 1440p, the average FPS drops across all settings. The Low preset falls to 152.5 FPS, a 27% reduction from the 1080p result. This significant drop suggests that the RX 6600 is starting to work harder, and the load is shifting from the processor to the graphics card. The trend continues at 4K, where the Low preset manages an average of 98.6 FPS. While still playable, this is a 53% decrease from the 1080p Low figure, illustrating the immense rendering demand that 4K resolution places on the GPU.

The frame rate scaling between 1440p and 4K is particularly telling. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 93 at 1440p to 56 at 4K, a reduction of roughly 40%. This steep decline is a textbook indicator of a GPU-limited scenario. The RX 6600, with its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, is being pushed to its limit. The data suggests that the limiting component in this combo is the graphics card. The CPU, with its 8 cores and 16 threads based on the Zen 3 architecture, provides ample headroom, while the GPU's rendering capabilities determine the final frame rate at higher resolutions. The 4K Ultra result of 38.7 FPS is the clearest evidence of this, showing a system that is overwhelmed by the combined demands of high resolution and maximum settings.

Settings Recommendations

The benchmark results provide clear guidance on the optimal settings for this hardware combination. The data shows a wide performance gulf between presets, and the "best" choice depends entirely on the user's target resolution.

For 1080p gaming, the High preset is the standout recommendation. It delivers an average of 122.7 FPS, which is more than sufficient for a smooth experience. The jump to Ultra yields 82.2 FPS, a 33% performance penalty for what is likely a marginal visual improvement in a sports title. Conversely, dropping to Medium (154.1 FPS) or Low (209.8 FPS) offers higher frame rates but sacrifices visual quality that the hardware can comfortably afford to maintain at this resolution.

At 1440p, the High preset becomes the sweet spot. The average of 93 FPS is excellent for this resolution and provides a great balance between visual fidelity and gameplay fluidity. The Ultra preset, at 59.1 FPS, is borderline; it is playable, but the drop below 60 FPS may be noticeable to some. The Medium preset (107.5 FPS) is a viable alternative for those who prioritize frame rate over maximum detail, but High offers a better visual experience for only a 14 FPS cost.

The calculus changes significantly at 4K. Here, the High preset is no longer a viable option for a consistently smooth experience, averaging just 56 FPS. The Medium preset, at 69.1 FPS, is the recommended choice for 4K play. It provides a playable frame rate while maintaining a reasonable level of graphical quality. The Low preset is the only way to achieve a truly fluid experience at this resolution, with an average of 98.6 FPS, but it will look noticeably sparse. The Ultra preset should be avoided entirely, as its 38.7 FPS average is below the threshold for comfortable play.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this specific CPU-GPU pairing in a specific tier within the benchmark database. The combo rank for Undisputed is 1258 out of 1580 tested combinations. This places it in the 21st percentile of all tested systems for this specific game, indicating that while it is not a top-tier performer, it is far from the bottom of the pile. The ranking is heavily influenced by the GPU's performance at higher resolutions, where the RX 6600's limitations are most apparent.

Looking at the individual components, the CPU is a strong performer. The Ryzen 7 5800XT holds an 86th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29774. Its nearest rivals, such as the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE and the AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, are within a fraction of a percent in performance, with deltas of 0.1% and -0.3% respectively. This shows that the 5800XT is a solid, mid-to-high-tier processor that is not a weak link in this system.

The GPU, however, is a more modest performer. The Radeon RX 6600 sits in the 69th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25235. Its nearest rivals are a mixed bag, including the AMD Radeon 890M integrated graphics (0% delta), the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP (-0.2% delta), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (0.5% delta). This places the RX 6600 in a crowded performance bracket, where small differences in architecture and drivers can shuffle the order. For a game like Undisputed, which is not typically a graphics showcase, the combo's overall rank is a direct reflection of the GPU's ability to push pixels at higher resolutions, holding the system back from a higher placement.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The complete set of measured frame rates provides a full picture of the system's capabilities.

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers strong performance across all presets. The Low preset leads with an average of 209.8 FPS, followed by Medium at 154.1 FPS. The High preset achieves a very playable 122.7 FPS, while the Ultra preset trails with 82.2 FPS.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down as expected. The Low preset maintains a high average of 152.5 FPS. The Medium preset provides 107.5 FPS, and High follows with 93 FPS. The Ultra preset drops to an average of 59.1 FPS, which is still technically playable but begins to show the strain on the GPU.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the definitive bottleneck. The Low preset is the only one that remains clearly in high-refresh territory, with an average of 98.6 FPS. The Medium preset averages 69.1 FPS, and High dips to 56 FPS. The Ultra preset is the most demanding, with the system averaging just 38.7 FPS, a figure that is not suitable for smooth, competitive play.
