Undisputed

The Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 pairing in Undisputed is a combination that is heavily constrained by its graphics card, particularly at higher resolutions and settings. The data shows a clear performance hierarchy where the RX 570 dictates the ceiling, while the i5-10400F provides sufficient headroom to avoid becoming a primary bottleneck in most scenarios. This combo lands at rank 1498 out of 1580 tested configurations, placing it in the bottom 5% of all tested combos for this title, a position driven almost entirely by the GPU's age and 4 GB VRAM capacity.

FAQ

*Q: What is the best average FPS this combo achieves in Undisputed?*

A: The highest measured average FPS is 110.1, achieved at 1920x1080 with Low settings. This is the only configuration that breaks the 100 FPS barrier.

Q: How does the i5-10400F compare to its closest rivals in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The i5-10400F has an average benchmark score of 14168. It is 0.4% ahead of the AMD EPYC 7552 (scoring 14115) and 1.1% ahead of the Intel Core i5-8500 (scoring 14332, meaning the i5-8500 is actually ahead by that margin). It trails the AMD Ryzen 3 7320C by 0.8% (which scores 14277).

Q: What is the GPU's VRAM capacity and how does it impact the game?

A: The AMD Radeon RX 570 features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 224.0 GB/s of bandwidth. This capacity is a limiting factor at 4K Ultra, where the average FPS drops sharply to 21.

Q: At which resolution and settings does the combo first achieve a playable 60 FPS?

A: At 1920x1080 with High settings, the average FPS is 64.4. This is the lowest quality setting/resolution combination that provides a 60+ FPS experience.

Q: What is the combo's ranking among all tested systems in this game?

A: The combination ranks 1498 out of 1580 total tested combos. This places it in the bottom percentile of systems for Undisputed.

Q: What are the clock speeds of the CPU and GPU?

A: The Intel Core i5-10400F has a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. The AMD Radeon RX 570 has a base clock of 1168 MHz and a boost clock of 1244 MHz.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is the decisive component in this pairing. With a boost clock of 1244 MHz and 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, its performance profile is the primary factor in the measured FPS. The GPU's 2048 shading units and 32 ROPs contribute to its raw throughput, but the memory subsystem is a critical weakness. The 224.0 GB/s bandwidth and 4 GB capacity are insufficient for the demands of high-detail textures at 4K, leading to a drastic performance collapse.

The data confirms this: at 3840x2160, the average FPS drops from 53.4 on Low to 21.0 on Ultra, a 60.7% reduction. This is a classic symptom of VRAM capacity saturation and memory bandwidth limitations. The GPU's performance is so dominant a factor that it effectively defines the entire experience. Its percentile of 74 among all GPUs is misleading in this context, as the nearest rivals listed (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 at 0.2% delta, AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT at 0.2% delta) are products from a different era. The RX 570's average benchmark score of 30158 is comparable to these much newer cards only on aggregate synthetic tests, but in actual gaming workload, the architectural differences and VRAM limitations are stark.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K clearly illustrates the GPU-bound nature of this system. At Low settings, the average FPS drops from 110.1 at 1920x1080 to 80.5 at 2560x1440, a 26.9% decrease. Moving to 3840x2160, the average FPS falls to 53.4, which is a 51.5% decrease from the 1080p figure. This scaling is not linear, indicating that the GPU is being progressively overwhelmed.

The pattern intensifies at higher settings. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 64.4 at 1080p to 51.0 at 1440p, and then to 29.6 at 4K. The 4K figure represents a 54.0% drop from 1080p, showing that the RX 570 cannot sustain the pixel throughput required. The data suggests the CPU is not the limiting factor here; the i5-10400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, can feed frames fast enough. The bottleneck is the GPU's inability to process the geometry and fill rate demanded by the higher resolutions, compounded by the 4 GB VRAM limit which likely causes texture thrashing at 4K Ultra (21 FPS).

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-10400F and AMD Radeon RX 570 is ranked 1498 out of 1580 combos in Undisputed. This places it in the 5th percentile of all tested systems, making it a low-performing configuration for this specific title. This low rank is not surprising given the GPU's age, but it is importantly the CPU is not the primary cause. The i5-10400F's percentile of 73 vs all CPUs and its average benchmark score of 14168 indicate a mid-range processor.

However, the GPU's percentile of 74 vs all GPUs is misleading in the context of gaming. The nearest rivals listed for the GPU are the RTX 5060 and RX 7700 XT, which have nearly identical average benchmark scores (30109 and 30097, respectively) but are vastly superior in gaming due to newer architectures and more VRAM. This discrepancy means the RX 570's synthetic benchmark standing does not translate to actual game performance. The combo's rank of 1498 out of 1580 reflects the real-world gaming deficit, where the RX 570's limitations are fully exposed.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a complete picture of the system's capabilities across three resolutions and four settings.

At 1920x1080, the system is most viable:

• Low: 110.1 FPS
• Medium: 80.5 FPS
• High: 64.4 FPS
• Ultra: 39.6 FPS

At 2560x1440, performance degrades significantly:

• Low: 80.5 FPS
• Medium: 54.5 FPS
• High: 51.0 FPS
• Ultra: 32.1 FPS

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playability:

• Low: 53.4 FPS
• Medium: 37.1 FPS
• High: 29.6 FPS
• Ultra: 21.0 FPS

The data shows that the jump from 1080p to 1440p at High settings costs 13.4 FPS (a 20.8% drop), while the jump from 1440p to 4K at High settings costs 21.4 FPS (a 42.0% drop). The Ultra preset is consistently the worst performer, and at 4K it produces an unplayable 21.0 FPS average. The Low preset remains the only way to achieve a high refresh rate experience at 1080p, with 110.1 FPS.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured data, the optimal experience for this combo is at 1920x1080 with High settings, yielding 64.4 FPS. This provides a good balance between visual fidelity and smoothness, hitting the 60 FPS target. For players prioritizing frame rate above all else, the Low preset at 1080p offers 110.1 FPS, which is ideal for high-refresh-rate monitors.

At 2560x1440, the High preset (51.0 FPS) is borderline playable, but the Medium preset (54.5 FPS) is a better choice to maintain a more consistent experience. The Ultra preset should be avoided at all resolutions, as it provides a significant FPS penalty without a proportional visual benefit. At 4K, the system is not recommended for this game. Even the Low preset at 53.4 FPS is below the 60 FPS target, and the Medium (37.1 FPS) and High (29.6 FPS) presets are too choppy for a smooth experience. The data suggests that 1080p is the intended resolution for this hardware in Undisputed.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-10400F plays a secondary but important role in this configuration. With 6 cores and 12 threads based on the Comet Lake architecture, it provides a solid foundation. Its boost clock of 4.30 GHz helps ensure that single-threaded performance is adequate for game logic. The CPU's benchmark scores support this: it achieves 1453 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 10297 in multi-core, placing it in the 73rd percentile of all CPUs.

The data in Undisputed suggests the CPU is not the bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the GPU is clearly the limiting factor before the CPU, as the FPS scales substantially with resolution (110.1 down to 53.4 at 4K). If the CPU were the bottleneck, we would see less FPS variation across resolutions. The CPU's nearest rivals, such as the AMD EPYC 7552 (0.4% delta) and Intel Core i5-8500 (1.1% delta), have similar synthetic scores, but the i5-10400F's 12 threads provide better headroom for background tasks. The CPU's TDP of 65 W and support for DDR4 memory make it a logical pairing for a mid-range GPU, and in this case, it does not hinder the RX 570 from reaching its performance limits.
