GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 570 is built on the Polaris 20 chip using GCN 4.0 architecture, with 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. Its base clock runs at 1168 MHz with a boost clock of 1244 MHz, while the 4 GB of GDDR5 memory operates at 1750 MHz (7 Gbps effective) across a 256-bit bus, yielding a memory bandwidth of 224.0 GB/s. The card's FP32 throughput is 5.095 TFLOPS, and it delivers a pixel rate of 39.81 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 159.2 GTexel/s.

In Undisputed, the GPU's role is decisive. The measured FPS data shows that settings changes have a dramatic impact at every resolution. At 1080p, moving from Low to Ultra cuts average FPS from 110 to 42 — a 68 FPS swing. At 1440p, the same settings change drops average FPS from 80 to 31. At 4K, it falls from 50 to 19. This pattern indicates a GPU that is heavily taxed by the game's rendering demands, particularly at higher presets.

The RX 570's nearest GPU rivals in average benchmark score include the AMD Radeon RX 6800M (28874, a 0.4% advantage over the RX 570's 28766), the AMD Radeon R9 M295X (28580, 0.7% behind), the AMD Radeon RX 470 (28996, 0.8% ahead), and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 (28421, 1.2% behind). These small deltas suggest the RX 570 sits in a tightly clustered performance tier, which aligns with its 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs.

The 4 GB VRAM capacity is a notable constraint. At 4K Ultra, the game likely requires more memory than the card can efficiently manage, contributing to the 19 FPS average. The 256-bit bus and 224.0 GB/s bandwidth help at lower settings, but the data shows diminishing returns as resolution and quality increase.

Resolution Scaling

The FPS scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals a GPU-bound system. At Low settings, average FPS drops from 110 at 1920x1080 to 80 at 2560x1440 (a 27% decrease) and then to 50 at 3840x2160 (a 55% decrease from 1080p). At Medium settings, the progression is 79 FPS at 1080p, 57 FPS at 1440p (a 28% drop), and 36 FPS at 4K (a 54% drop from 1080p). High settings show 66 FPS at 1080p, 47 FPS at 1440p (a 29% drop), and 30 FPS at 4K (a 55% drop). Ultra settings follow a steeper decline: 42 FPS at 1080p, 31 FPS at 1440p (a 26% drop), and 19 FPS at 4K (a 55% drop from 1080p).

The consistent pattern — roughly a 27-29% drop from 1080p to 1440p and a 54-55% drop from 1080p to 4K — indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at all settings. If the CPU were the bottleneck, the FPS would not scale so predictably with resolution. The fact that the percentage drop is nearly identical across Low, Medium, High, and Ultra strengthens this conclusion: the RX 570's fill rate, memory bandwidth, and shading throughput are being saturated progressively as pixel count increases.

Notably, the 4K Medium result includes a minimum FPS of 31 and maximum of 42, showing a 11 FPS variance. The 1440p Medium result has a minimum of 49 and maximum of 66, a 17 FPS spread. The 1080p Medium result shows a minimum of 67 and maximum of 91, a 24 FPS range. This increasing variance at lower resolutions suggests that while the GPU is the main constraint, the CPU can still cause frame pacing inconsistencies at higher FPS levels.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the combo delivers its best performance. Low settings produce an average of 110 FPS. Medium settings average 79 FPS, with a minimum of 67 FPS and maximum of 91 FPS. High settings average 66 FPS. Ultra settings drop to an average of 42 FPS. These numbers indicate that 1080p is viable for competitive play only on Low or Medium, while High remains playable for casual sessions.

At 2560x1440, performance declines noticeably. Low settings average 80 FPS. Medium settings average 57 FPS, with a minimum of 49 FPS and maximum of 66 FPS. High settings average 47 FPS. Ultra settings fall to an average of 31 FPS. The 1440p results show that only Low and Medium maintain average FPS above 50, which is typically considered the threshold for smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles. Low settings average 50 FPS. Medium settings average 36 FPS, with a minimum of 31 FPS and maximum of 42 FPS. High settings average 30 FPS. Ultra settings bottom out at an average of 19 FPS. None of the 4K results offer a consistently smooth experience, though Low approaches playability.

The Medium preset is the only one with min/max data across all three resolutions. The 1080p Medium range (67-91 FPS) is wide, showing that frame times can vary significantly. The 1440p Medium range (49-66 FPS) narrows, and the 4K Medium range (31-42 FPS) tightens further. This pattern suggests that as resolution increases, the GPU consistently hits its ceiling, reducing frame time spikes but also lowering overall performance.

CPU Role

The Intel Core i5-11400F is a 6-core, 12-thread processor based on Rocket Lake architecture, manufactured on a 14 nm process. It has a base clock of 2.60 GHz and a boost clock of 4.40 GHz, with 12 MB of shared L3 cache and 512 KB of L2 cache per core. The CPU supports DDR4 memory in dual-channel configuration, offering 51.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its TDP is 65 W, and it uses the Intel Socket 1200 interface.

Synthetic benchmarks show the i5-11400F's strengths. In Cinebench R23, it scores 14340 in multicore and 2024 in single-core. In Geekbench, it scores 7737 multicore and 1777 single-core. The 3DMark results show scaling from 868 in single-thread to 5652 in max threads, indicating good multi-threading efficiency. Passmark scores include 16908 in multithread and 2981 in single-thread.

In Undisputed, the CPU's role appears secondary. The FPS scaling with resolution strongly indicates GPU limitation. However, the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads provide enough headroom that even at 1080p Low (110 FPS), the system does not appear CPU-bound — otherwise, the FPS would plateau regardless of resolution. The i5-11400F's 71st percentile ranking among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17177, places it well above the GPU's 74th percentile in relative terms.

The nearest CPU rivals include the AMD EPYC 7H12 (17120, 0.3% behind the i5-11400F), Intel Core i5-12450H (17239, 0.4% ahead), AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (17278, 0.6% ahead), and Intel Core Ultra 7 164U (17074, 0.6% behind). These tight margins suggest the i5-11400F is a mid-pack performer, but its 6 cores are more than sufficient for a sports title like Undisputed, which likely does not heavily utilize more than a few threads.

The CPU's boost clock of 4.40 GHz and single-thread score of 868 in 3DMark (or 2024 in Cinebench R23) indicate strong per-core performance. This matters for games that rely on a single main thread for game logic. The data shows that at 1080p Low, the system achieves 110 FPS, which is likely near the practical limit for this GPU in this game, not a CPU cap.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal preset depends on the target resolution and the user's preference for smoothness versus visual quality.

At 1920x1080, the Medium preset offers the best balance. It averages 79 FPS, with a minimum of 67 FPS and maximum of 91 FPS. This keeps frame rates above 60 at all times, which is ideal for a responsive sports game. High settings average 66 FPS but lack min/max data, so consistency is unverified. Low settings at 110 FPS are excellent for competitive play but sacrifice visual detail. Ultra at 42 FPS is too low for smooth gameplay.

At 2560x1440, Medium is again the recommended preset. It averages 57 FPS, with a minimum of 49 FPS and maximum of 66 FPS. While the average is below 60, the minimum of 49 FPS is still playable. Low settings at 80 FPS offer a smoother experience for those prioritizing frame rate. High at 47 FPS and Ultra at 31 FPS are less desirable, as they may introduce noticeable stutter during intense boxing exchanges.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings are recommended, with an average of 50 FPS. Medium trails at 36 FPS, and High/Ultra fall to 30/19 FPS, respectively. For 4K users, the game is only viable on the lowest preset, and even then, the 50 FPS average may not be perfectly smooth in all scenes.

The data suggests that the Medium preset is the sweet spot for this combo at 1080p and 1440p, delivering a balance of visual quality and performance. At 4K, Low is the only practical option. The 1440p Medium result (57 FPS average, 49 min) is the best high-resolution compromise, while 1080p Medium (79 FPS average, 67 min) provides the most consistent experience overall.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo ranks 3547 out of 3718 tested combinations in Undisputed, placing it near the bottom of the database. This rank reflects the system's inability to handle high settings or high resolutions in this game, despite the CPU's reasonable performance.

The GPU's 74th percentile ranking among all GPUs (with an average benchmark score of 28766) is undermined by its 4 GB VRAM and aging GCN architecture. The CPU's 71st percentile ranking (average score 17177) is comparatively stronger, but the pairing results in a system that is heavily GPU-limited in this title.

The nearest GPU rivals illustrate the tight competition: the RX 570 is within 1.2% of the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 and within 0.8% of the AMD Radeon RX 470. These small synthetic benchmark differences do not translate into competitive Undisputed performance, as the 4K Ultra result of 19 FPS shows. The combo's rank of 3547 out of 3718 means that over 95% of tested systems deliver better average performance in this game.

The data implies that this pairing is better suited for esports titles or lighter games than for a demanding sports sim like Undisputed. At 1080p Low, the system achieves 110 FPS, which is respectable, but the steep drop at higher settings limits its versatility. For users with this combo, the measured results suggest sticking to 1080p Medium or Low for the best experience, as higher resolutions and presets quickly become unplayable. The rank is a clear signal that this hardware combination is at the lower end of the performance spectrum for this specific game.
