Undisputed

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and AMD Radeon RX 6600 pairing delivers a playable but highly settings-dependent experience in Undisputed. The data shows this combo ranks 1299th out of 1580 tested configurations, placing it in the lower half of the benchmark database. While the 16-core processor provides ample headroom, the graphics card becomes the primary bottleneck at higher presets, making settings selection critical for achieving competitive frame rates.

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

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, running on the AMD Socket AM4 platform. It operates with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz, drawing 105 W of power. This processor ranks in the 93rd percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 49062. Its nearest rival, the Intel Core i5-14600K, scores 49166, representing a negligible 0.2% difference, while the Intel Core i5-14600KF sits 0.6% higher at 49367.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is primarily to maintain a stable frame delivery pipeline. The 5950X’s multi-threaded performance is substantial, as evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 38607 and a Geekbench multi-core score of 12084. However, the game’s results show that even with this processing power, the measured FPS varies dramatically based on GPU load. At 1080p Low settings, the combo achieves 208.3 FPS, indicating the CPU can feed frames at a very high rate when the GPU is not stressed. The 3DMark single-thread score of 944 and Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5450 suggest that per-core performance is sufficient for a sports title like this, which typically does not scale perfectly with all 32 threads.

The processor’s 64 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide a solid foundation for game data streaming. The benchmark results indicate that the CPU is not the limiting factor at lower resolutions, as the FPS ceiling appears to be imposed by the GPU rather than the processor. This is a typical pattern for a high-core-count CPU paired with a mid-range graphics card.

Settings Recommendations — which preset gives the best experience per the measured rows

The measured FPS rows show a clear progression: higher settings yield lower frame rates across all resolutions. For the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, Medium settings emerge as the optimal choice. At 1080p Medium, the combo delivers 153.8 FPS, which is a substantial improvement over the 78.1 FPS at Ultra. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p costs roughly 54.5 FPS (from 208.3 to 153.8), but the visual upgrade is typically worth the trade-off in a sports game.

At 1440p, Medium settings produce 108.9 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold for smooth gameplay. High settings at 1440p drop to 88 FPS, which is still playable but approaches the lower bound for competitive play. For 4K, the data shows that Medium is the highest viable preset, yielding 69.8 FPS, while High drops to 57.1 FPS and Ultra falls to an unplayable 35.3 FPS.

The recommendation is to prioritize Medium settings as the default. Low settings at 1080p (208.3 FPS) and 1440p (150.6 FPS) are unnecessarily high frame rates that sacrifice visual quality for performance that exceeds most display refresh rates. Ultra settings are only advisable for users with high-refresh monitors at 1080p who prioritize image quality over frame rate consistency, but the 78.1 FPS result at 1080p Ultra is below the 80 FPS mark that many players consider ideal.

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

The FPS scaling across resolutions reveals a pronounced GPU bottleneck. At Medium settings, the frame rate drops from 153.8 FPS at 1080p to 108.9 FPS at 1440p, a reduction of 44.9 FPS (approximately 29%). Moving from 1440p to 4K Medium, the FPS falls further to 69.8 FPS, another drop of 39.1 FPS (approximately 36%). This scaling pattern indicates that the RX 6600’s rendering capacity is increasingly strained as pixel count rises.

At Low settings, the same trend is visible but with higher absolute numbers: 208.3 FPS at 1080p, 150.6 FPS at 1440p, and 97.6 FPS at 4K. The 1080p to 1440p drop of 57.7 FPS (about 28%) and the 1440p to 4K drop of 53 FPS (about 35%) show a consistent scaling factor, suggesting that the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are the limiting factors. The RX 6600 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus with 224.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is modest for 4K workloads.

The data supports the conclusion that the CPU is not the bottleneck: if the processor were limiting, the FPS would plateau rather than scale with resolution. Instead, the consistent percentage drops across all settings indicate that the GPU is the primary constraint, especially at 4K where even Low settings (97.6 FPS) require a significant portion of the GPU’s capacity.

How This Combo Ranks — use comboRankInGame vs other tested combos

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 9 5950X and AMD Radeon RX 6600 ranks 1299th out of 1580 tested combos in Undisputed. This places the setup in approximately the 82nd percentile from the bottom, meaning only about 281 tested combinations perform worse. The ranking reflects the imbalance between the high-end CPU and the mid-range GPU.

The 5950X’s CPU performance percentile of 93% is far higher than the GPU’s percentile of 69% among all graphics cards. This mismatch means the combo’s overall ranking is dragged down by the GPU’s limitations. The RX 6600’s average benchmark score of 25235 is nearly identical to its nearest rival, the AMD Radeon 890M, which scores 25246 with a 0% delta. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scores 25120, a 0.5% difference, showing that the RX 6600 is competitive within its immediate performance class.

For a game like Undisputed, the ranking suggests that users would benefit more from a more balanced pairing. The CPU’s power is largely unused in this title, as the FPS results are consistently GPU-bound. The combo’s ranking is a direct consequence of the GPU’s inability to translate the CPU’s high thread count into higher frame rates at demanding settings.

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

The AMD Radeon RX 6600 is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 23 chip, fabricated on a 7 nm process. It features 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, along with 28 ray tracing cores. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1626 MHz and a boost clock of 2491 MHz, with a game clock of 2044 MHz. Memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) across an 8 GB GDDR6 interface with a 128-bit bus, providing 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

The GPU’s floating-point performance is 8.928 TFLOPS (FP32), and its pixel rate is 159.4 GPixel/s. These specifications translate to the measured frame rates in Undisputed. The 8 GB VRAM is adequate for 1080p and 1440p at most settings, but the 128-bit memory bus becomes a constraint at 4K, where higher resolutions demand more bandwidth. The 4K Ultra result of 35.3 FPS is a clear indicator that the memory subsystem and compute units are overwhelmed.

The RX 6600’s benchmark results show a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1492 and a Passmark G3D score of 15096. The GPU’s percentile ranking of 69% places it in the upper-mid range, but its performance in this game is heavily influenced by the settings chosen. The data shows that the GPU’s boost clock of 2491 MHz is sufficient for lower resolutions, but the scaling to 4K exposes its limitations. The GPU’s TDP of 132 W and suggested PSU of 300 W indicate a power-efficient design that does not require excessive cooling.

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

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers 208.3 FPS on Low, 153.8 FPS on Medium, 123.2 FPS on High, and 78.1 FPS on Ultra. The gap between Low and Ultra is 130.2 FPS, showing that the GPU can handle the resolution easily but struggles with higher graphical demands.

At 2560x1440, the results are 150.6 FPS on Low, 108.9 FPS on Medium, 88 FPS on High, and 60.7 FPS on Ultra. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent across settings: Low falls by 57.7 FPS, Medium by 44.9 FPS, High by 35.2 FPS, and Ultra by 17.4 FPS. The smaller absolute drop at Ultra suggests that the GPU is already near its limits at 1080p Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are 97.6 FPS on Low, 69.8 FPS on Medium, 57.1 FPS on High, and 35.3 FPS on Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is below the 36 FPS threshold for minimal playability, making it unsuitable for actual gameplay. The 4K High result of 57.1 FPS is borderline, while Medium at 69.8 FPS is the only 4K setting that provides a consistently smooth experience.

The data shows a clear trend: each setting tier at each resolution reduces FPS by a roughly proportional amount. At 1080p, the step from Low to Medium costs 54.5 FPS, Medium to High costs 30.6 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 45.1 FPS. This pattern holds at 1440p and 4K, indicating that the GPU’s performance scaling is linear with the graphical workload.
