Settings Recommendations

The measured FPS data provides a clear hierarchy for settings optimization. At 1920x1080, the Low preset delivers a 230 FPS average, which is far beyond the refresh rate of most standard displays. The Medium preset at 165 FPS remains exceptionally smooth, with a minimum of 141 FPS, ensuring consistent frame pacing. The High preset at 137 FPS is the sweet spot for 1080p, as it offers a substantial visual upgrade over Medium while still maintaining a high refresh rate.

At 2560x1440, the High preset achieves a 99 FPS average, which is ideal for 144Hz monitors. The Medium preset at 119 FPS is also viable, but the jump to High provides better visual fidelity with only a 20 FPS penalty. The Ultra preset at 64 FPS is playable but falls below the 70 FPS threshold preferred for fast-paced sports titles, making High the recommended choice for 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the situation becomes more constrained. The Low preset at 105 FPS is the only setting that provides a truly high-refresh experience. The Medium preset at 76 FPS is the best balance for 4K, offering a smooth frame rate with a minimum of 64 FPS. The High preset at 63 FPS is borderline, while the Ultra preset at 40 FPS is not recommended for competitive play. For the best overall experience, the data suggests using High at 1080p or 1440p, and Medium at 4K.

CPU Role

The AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core, 32-thread processor based on the Zen 3 architecture, with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and a boost clock of 4.90 GHz. Its synthetic performance is strong, with a 3DMark max threads score of 11597 and a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 26017. The single-thread performance is also robust, as evidenced by a 3DMark single thread score of 944 and a Geekbench single-core score of 2083.

In Undisputed, the CPU’s role is likely to be less demanding than in other genres, given that the game is a sports title with a focus on physics and animation rather than large-scale simulation. The 5950X’s high multithreaded capability, reflected in its PassMark multithread score of 45424, ensures that it will not become a bottleneck even at lower resolutions where the GPU has headroom.

The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 230 FPS, which is a scenario where the CPU must feed frames quickly. The 5950X’s 3DMark 8-thread score of 6598 and 16-thread score of 10810 suggest that it can handle the game’s threading requirements with ease. The processor’s 64 MB of L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory support, with a bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, provide ample memory bandwidth for game logic and asset streaming.

Compared to its rivals, the 5950X sits in a narrow performance band. It is essentially tied with the Intel Core Ultra 5 235HX and AMD EPYC 8124P, with deltas of -0.2% and -0.3% respectively. It is 0.4% faster than the Intel Core i9-13900F and 0.7% slower than the Intel Core i7-14700. This indicates that the CPU is not a differentiating factor in this combo’s ranking; the GPU will dictate the final frame rates.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 9 5950X and RX 7600 ranks 2574 out of 3718 tested combos in Undisputed. This places it in the 30.7th percentile of all systems tested, meaning that roughly 70% of configurations outperform it. This ranking is primarily driven by the RX 7600’s mid-range positioning, as the CPU is in the 91st percentile of all processors.

The disparity between the CPU’s high percentile and the combo’s low rank highlights the GPU-bound nature of Undisputed. The 5950X is a high-end processor from 2020, with a launch MSRP of $799, while the RX 7600 is a more recent mid-range GPU with a launch MSRP of 269 USD. The data suggests that for this game, the GPU is the limiting factor, and the CPU’s power is underutilized.

In the context of the nearest rivals, the RX 7600 is closely matched with the RTX 3050 OEM, with a delta of -0.2%. This means that swapping the GPU for the RTX 3050 OEM would yield nearly identical performance. The combo’s rank of 2574 is therefore not a reflection of poor hardware, but rather a consequence of pairing a very strong CPU with a mid-range GPU that cannot fully leverage the processor’s capabilities at higher settings.

The ranking also suggests that users with this combo should focus on GPU-oriented settings adjustments, as lowering resolution or settings will yield the most significant FPS gains. The CPU’s benchmark scores, such as its PassMark single thread score of 3470, indicate that it will not hold back the GPU at any settings level.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with a Navi 33 chip, featuring 2048 shading units and 32 ray tracing cores. Its base clock is 1720 MHz with a boost clock of 2655 MHz, and it has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, providing a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The GPU’s FP32 performance is 21.75 TFLOPS, which is a key indicator of its rasterization capability.

In Undisputed, the GPU is the dominant factor in determining frame rates. The data shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low, the GPU delivers 230 FPS, which is a 161% increase over the 4K Ultra result of 40 FPS. This scaling indicates that the GPU’s compute units are the primary constraint at higher resolutions and settings.

The RX 7600’s performance relative to its rivals is tightly clustered. It is 0.2% behind the RTX 3050 OEM, 0.7% behind the Radeon 680M, 0.6% ahead of the Radeon Pro 560X, and 0.7% ahead of the GTX 660 Ti. This suggests that the RX 7600 is a solid mid-range performer, but not a standout. Its 57th percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms this positioning.

The GPU’s 8 GB VRAM is sufficient for 1080p and 1440p gaming, where the data shows strong results. At 4K, the VRAM may become a limiting factor, but the more significant bottleneck is the GPU’s raw compute power. The drop from 76 FPS at 4K Medium to 63 FPS at 4K High, and then to 40 FPS at 4K Ultra, demonstrates how the GPU’s shading units and texture units are overwhelmed by the increased workload.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a comprehensive view of the combo’s performance across all settings and resolutions.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset achieves a 230 FPS average. The Medium preset delivers a 165 FPS average with a minimum of 141 FPS and a maximum of 190 FPS. The High preset produces 137 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 88 FPS. This shows a steady decline as settings increase, with the largest relative drop occurring from High to Ultra, a 49 FPS difference.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset yields 166 FPS. The Medium preset averages 119 FPS with a minimum of 102 FPS and a maximum of 137 FPS. The High preset delivers 99 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 64 FPS. The pattern is consistent with 1080p, but with a roughly 25-30% reduction in FPS at each settings tier.

At 3840x2160, the Low preset achieves 105 FPS. The Medium preset averages 76 FPS with a minimum of 64 FPS and a maximum of 87 FPS. The High preset produces 63 FPS, and the Ultra preset drops to 40 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K represents a 65 FPS loss, which is the largest absolute drop across any resolution.

The data also reveals that the Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum FPS values, indicating that it may be the most stable setting. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 141 FPS ensures no noticeable stuttering, and at 1440p Medium, the minimum of 102 FPS remains smooth. This makes Medium a reliable choice for consistent performance.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K provides insight into the system’s limiting component. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 230 at 1080p to 166 at 1440p to 105 at 4K. This represents a 54% reduction from 1080p to 4K, which is a significant but expected decrease for a mid-range GPU.

At Medium settings, the FPS drops from 165 at 1080p to 119 at 1440p to 76 at 4K. The reduction from 1080p to 4K is 54%, consistent with the Low preset. At High settings, the FPS drops from 137 at 1080p to 99 at 1440p to 63 at 4K, a 54% reduction. This consistency across settings indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as the scaling is uniform.

The Ultra preset shows a slightly different pattern, with FPS dropping from 88 at 1080p to 64 at 1440p to 40 at 4K. The reduction from 1080p to 4K is 55%, which is in line with the other presets. However, the absolute FPS values at 4K Ultra are low, suggesting that the GPU’s compute resources are exhausted at this configuration.

The data implies that the Ryzen 9 5950X is not a limiting factor in resolution scaling. If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would expect to see smaller FPS differences between resolutions at lower settings, as the GPU would have headroom. Instead, the consistent 54-55% reduction across all settings from 1080p to 4K confirms that the RX 7600’s rendering capability is the determining factor. The CPU’s high single-thread and multithread scores, such as its 3DMark single thread score of 944 and Cinebench R23 multicore score of 26017, ensure that it can keep up with the GPU’s demands at all resolutions.
