How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core Ultra 7 265 and AMD Radeon RX 7600 secures position 1963 out of 2813 tested combos in Undisputed. This ranking places the system in the 69.8th percentile of all configurations, meaning roughly 70% of tested combos perform better in this title. The ranking reflects a system that is functional for the game but not optimized for high-end performance.

The data shows a clear pattern: the combo achieves playable frame rates at lower resolutions and settings, but the ranking suffers from the GPU's limitations at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system delivers 137 FPS on High, 165 FPS on Medium, and 88 FPS on Ultra, all of which are respectable numbers. However, at 3840x2160, the Ultra preset drops to 40 FPS, which is below the threshold for smooth gameplay. This wide spread between best and worst case scenarios contributes to the mid-tier ranking.

Relative to the CPU's benchmark percentile of 93 (meaning it outperforms 93% of all CPUs), the combo rank is notably lower, indicating that the GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing. The GPU sits in the 57th percentile of all GPUs, which aligns more closely with the combo's overall ranking. The CPU's high multi-core performance, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42216, does not translate into proportionally high game performance when paired with a mid-range GPU.

CPU Role

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265 features 20 cores and 20 threads based on the Arrow Lake architecture, manufactured on a 3 nm process by TSMC. The base clock is 2.40 GHz with a boost clock of 5.30 GHz, and the processor has a 65 W TDP. The cache hierarchy includes 192 KB L1 per core, 3 MB L2 per core, and 30 MB of shared L3 cache. Memory support is DDR5 with dual-channel configuration and 102.4 GB/s bandwidth.

In Undisputed, a sports title that relies heavily on physics and AI calculations for boxer movement and fight logic, the CPU's multi-threaded capabilities are relevant. The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42216 and PassMark multi-thread score of 49682 indicate strong parallel processing, which supports the game's simulation aspects. The single-core performance, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 5960 and PassMark single-thread score of 4689, handles the primary game logic thread efficiently.

The benchmark data reveals that the CPU is not the bottleneck in this configuration. At 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, the system produces 88 FPS, which is well above the minimum playable threshold. If the CPU were limiting, we would expect to see similar frame rates across different resolutions. Instead, the frame rates scale significantly with resolution, dropping from 88 FPS at 1080p Ultra to 40 FPS at 4K Ultra, demonstrating that the GPU is the constraining component. The CPU's 93rd percentile ranking versus all CPUs further confirms that it has ample headroom for this game.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured results show a range of performance across settings. Low settings produce an average of 230 FPS, Medium produces 165 FPS with a minimum of 141 and maximum of 190, High produces 137 FPS, and Ultra produces 88 FPS. These numbers indicate that even at the highest quality preset, the system maintains a frame rate well above the 60 FPS standard, making 1080p Ultra a viable option for smooth gameplay.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance drops but remains largely playable. Low settings yield 166 FPS, Medium yields 119 FPS with a minimum of 102 and maximum of 137, High yields 99 FPS, and Ultra yields 64 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p sits right at the edge of the 60 FPS threshold, with the average barely above it. The Medium preset, with its minimum of 102 FPS, provides a comfortable margin for consistent frame delivery.

At 3840x2160, the performance becomes more constrained. Low settings produce 105 FPS, Medium produces 76 FPS with a minimum of 64 and maximum of 87, High produces 63 FPS, and Ultra produces 40 FPS. The High preset at 4K is borderline playable at 63 FPS, but the Ultra preset falls well below acceptable levels. The Medium preset's minimum of 64 FPS suggests that occasional dips may occur, though the average of 76 FPS provides some buffer.

GPU Role

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is built on the Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, manufactured on a 6 nm process by TSMC. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units, with 32 ray tracing cores. The boost clock reaches 2655 MHz, with a game clock of 2250 MHz and base clock of 1720 MHz. Memory consists of 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU has a TDP of 165 W and requires a 450 W power supply.

The 8 GB VRAM capacity is a critical factor in this game's performance at higher resolutions. The measured data shows a significant drop from 1080p to 4K, particularly at higher settings. At 1080p Ultra, the system achieves 88 FPS, but at 4K Ultra it drops to 40 FPS, a reduction of 54.5%. This steep decline indicates that the GPU's memory bandwidth and capacity are insufficient for the demands of 4K rendering with high-quality textures and effects.

The GPU's 57th percentile ranking versus all GPUs reflects its mid-range positioning. The benchmark scores show a PassMark G3D score of 16634 and a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2310, which place it in competition with cards like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (deltaPct of -0.2%) and AMD Radeon 680M (deltaPct of -0.7%). These comparisons highlight that the RX 7600 is a capable 1080p performer but lacks the headroom for demanding 4K workloads in this title.

Settings Recommendations

Based on the measured FPS data, the optimal experience for this combo depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset delivers 88 FPS average, which is smooth and visually rich. The High preset at 137 FPS offers a significant frame rate boost with only a modest reduction in visual quality, making it the best choice for players who prioritize responsiveness over eye candy. The Medium preset at 165 FPS is ideal for competitive play, though the visual difference from Ultra may be noticeable.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset produces 64 FPS average, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold but leaves little margin for demanding scenes. The High preset at 99 FPS provides a much safer buffer and is the recommended setting for 1440p. It maintains high visual fidelity while ensuring consistent performance. The Medium preset at 119 FPS is also a strong option for those who want extra headroom, with a minimum of 102 FPS ensuring smooth delivery.

At 3840x2160, the High preset at 63 FPS is the highest quality setting that remains playable, though it is borderline. The Medium preset at 76 FPS offers a more comfortable experience with a minimum of 64 FPS, making it the safest choice for 4K gaming on this hardware. The Low preset at 105 FPS is recommended for players who prioritize frame rate over all else, but the visual compromise may be significant. The Ultra preset at 40 FPS should be avoided, as it falls below the playable threshold.

Resolution Scaling

The frame rate scaling from 1080p to 4K reveals the GPU-bound nature of this configuration. At High settings, the average FPS drops from 137 at 1920x1080 to 99 at 2560x1440 (a 27.7% reduction) and then to 63 at 3840x2160 (a 36.4% reduction from 1440p). This progressive decline is characteristic of a GPU that is increasingly stressed as pixel count rises.

At Low settings, the scaling is somewhat different. The system produces 230 FPS at 1080p, 166 FPS at 1440p (a 27.8% reduction), and 105 FPS at 4K (a 36.7% reduction from 1440p). The percentage drops are similar to High settings, indicating that the GPU's compute and memory resources are being consumed proportionally as resolution increases, regardless of quality preset.

The Ultra preset shows the most severe scaling. From 1080p (88 FPS) to 1440p (64 FPS), the drop is 27.3%, but from 1440p to 4K (40 FPS), the drop is 37.5%. This escalating penalty at 4K Ultra suggests that the 8 GB VRAM capacity is being exceeded, forcing the GPU to rely on slower memory operations. The gap between 1440p and 4K at Ultra (24 FPS difference) is larger than the gap at High (36 FPS difference), underscoring that the highest settings push the GPU beyond its comfortable operating range.
