Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 combination delivers playable frame rates in Undisputed, but the data clearly shows a system limited by its graphics card. This analysis breaks down the measured performance across resolutions and settings, using only the benchmark data provided.

CPU Role — cores, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The AMD Ryzen 7 9700F is an 8-core, 16-thread processor based on the Zen 5 architecture (Granite Ridge). It operates with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 5.50 GHz, with a 65W TDP. The processor supports DDR5 memory over a dual-channel bus, offering 89.6 GB/s of bandwidth. Its 32 MB of shared L3 cache and 1 MB L2 per core provide substantial headroom for gaming workloads.

In synthetic benchmarks, the 9700F scores 4691 in Passmark single-thread tests and 36470 in multithreaded tests. Its Passmark physics score is 2122. The processor's percentile vs all CPUs is 94, placing it in the top tier of available processors. The average benchmark score is 69996.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the 9700F is remarkably close in overall performance. It scores 0.2% higher than the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX, which has an average score of 69875. The Intel Core i7-14700KF scores 70163, putting the 9700F 0.2% behind it. Against the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (69515), the 9700F is 0.7% ahead, and it is 0.9% ahead of the Intel Core i7-14700K (69355). These deltas are negligible, indicating that CPU performance is not a distinguishing factor for this combo.

For Undisputed, a sports title, the game's logic and opponent AI are unlikely to stress an 8-core processor. The data supports this: frame rates scale almost entirely with resolution and settings, which are GPU-bound factors. The CPU’s high single-thread score of 4691 suggests it can feed frames quickly, but the bottleneck in this pairing lies elsewhere.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

The combination of the Ryzen 7 9700F and GTX 1650 ranks 2725 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the bottom 3.1% of all tested combinations. The rank is a direct consequence of the GPU's limited capabilities rather than the CPU's performance.

Given that the CPU ranks in the 94th percentile, but the combo ranks near the bottom of the list, the data strongly suggests the GTX 1650 is the limiting component. A high-end CPU paired with a low-end GPU yields a low overall combo rank. The CPU’s high benchmark scores do not translate to high in-game rankings when paired with a graphics card that sits in the 40th percentile of all GPUs.

The ranking indicates that most other tested combos, even those with slower processors, achieve better frame rates in this game because they likely pair those processors with more powerful graphics cards. The measured FPS data confirms this interpretation, as the system struggles to maintain high frame rates at higher settings, a classic symptom of GPU limitation.

Resolution Scaling — how FPS drops from 1080p to 4K and what it says about the limiting component

The measured FPS data shows a steep performance decline as resolution increases, which is a clear indicator of GPU-bound performance. At Low settings, the average frame rate drops from 109 FPS at 1920x1080 to 79 FPS at 2560x1440, and finally to 50 FPS at 3840x2160. This represents a 54% drop in performance from 1080p to 4K.

At High settings, the degradation is even more pronounced. The average FPS falls from 65 at 1080p to 47 at 1440p, and then to 30 at 4K. This is a 54% drop from 1080p to 4K as well, but the absolute numbers are much lower, showing that the GPU is already struggling at 1080p High.

The Medium preset provides the most complete data, with min and max FPS recorded. At 1080p Medium, the average is 79 FPS with a minimum of 67 and maximum of 91. At 1440p Medium, the average drops to 57 FPS (min 48, max 65). At 4K Medium, the average is 36 FPS (min 31, max 41). The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is a 28% drop, and from 1440p to 4K is a 37% drop.

This scaling pattern is typical of a GPU bottleneck. If the CPU were the limiting factor, the frame rates would remain relatively constant across resolutions, as the CPU workload does not change much with resolution. Instead, the frame rates plummet, confirming that the GTX 1650's rendering capabilities are the primary constraint.

Measured FPS Breakdown — resolution by resolution, settings by settings, exact numbers

The full dataset provides a clear picture of performance across all tested configurations.

At 1920x1080, the GTX 1650 delivers playable frame rates at most settings. Low settings produce an average of 109 FPS. Medium settings yield 79 FPS average, with a minimum of 67 FPS and a maximum of 91 FPS. High settings reduce the average to 65 FPS. Ultra settings are demanding, dropping the average to 42 FPS.

At 2560x1440, performance degrades noticeably. Low settings average 79 FPS, which is still smooth. Medium settings average 57 FPS (min 48, max 65), which is playable but approaching the lower threshold for competitive play. High settings average 47 FPS. Ultra settings drop to an average of 30 FPS, which is borderline for a smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the GTX 1650 is clearly out of its depth. Low settings average 50 FPS, which is acceptable but not ideal. Medium settings average 36 FPS (min 31, max 41), which is playable but with visible stuttering potential. High settings average 30 FPS, which is marginal. Ultra settings collapse to an average of 19 FPS, which is not a playable experience.

The data shows that the GTX 1650 can handle 1080p with ease at Low and Medium settings, and even High settings are playable. At 1440p, Low and Medium are viable, but High and Ultra are not. At 4K, only Low settings approach playability, and even then, the frame rate is below what most would consider smooth.

GPU Role — VRAM, clocks, and how they relate to this game's results

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 is based on the TU117 chip using the Turing architecture. It operates on a 12 nm process node at TSMC. The GPU has a base clock of 1485 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz. Its memory runs at 2001 MHz (8 Gbps effective). The card features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing 128.1 GB/s of bandwidth.

The GPU's compute capabilities are modest. It has 896 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. Its pixel rate is 53.28 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 93.24 GTexel/s. The FP32 performance is 2.984 TFLOPS, which is low by modern standards. The card supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The 4 GB VRAM is likely a significant constraint in Undisputed, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The game's texture data at 4K Ultra likely exceeds the available memory, leading to the catastrophic 19 FPS average. Even at 1440p Ultra, the 30 FPS average suggests the GPU is both compute-bound and memory-bound.

In synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 1650 scores 7880 in Passmark G3D and 3048 in Passmark GPU compute. Its percentile vs all GPUs is 40, meaning it performs better than 40% of all GPUs. The average benchmark score is 7472.

Relative to its nearest rivals, the GTX 1650 is highly competitive in its class. It scores 0.3% higher than the AMD Radeon HD 8850M (7447), 0.4% higher than the Intel UHD Graphics 750 (7441), and 0.6% higher than the AMD Radeon R7 350 (7425). It is 1% behind the Intel Arc A310 (7550). These rival GPUs are all in a similar performance tier, confirming that the GTX 1650 is a low-end part.

The data indicates that the GTX 1650's performance is insufficient for demanding settings in Undisputed. The 4 GB VRAM and low compute throughput are the primary reasons for the low frame rates at high resolutions and settings.
