Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and Intel Arc B570 combination delivers a solid 1080p and 1440p experience in Evolve, but it falls short of 60 FPS at 4K. The data shows that this pairing is best suited for 1080p High and 1440p Medium settings, where it comfortably clears the 60 FPS threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The recorded data places the Ryzen 5 4600G in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17507. Its nearest rivals in the database are all within a very tight performance band. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, a mere 0.1% behind. The Intel Core 7 150U sits at 17395, which is 0.6% slower. On the other side, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, putting it 0.6% ahead, and the Intel Core i3-14100T leads the group with 17648, or 0.8% faster. For gaming purposes, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical frame rates in Evolve, as the differences are well within the margin of error for benchmark measurements.

The Intel Arc B570 occupies the 65th percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 20556. Its nearest rivals show a similar clustering of performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, just 0.1% behind, while the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 0.1% ahead. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M trails at 20480, a 0.4% deficit, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X leads the group at 20662, 0.5% faster. When paired with any of these GPUs, the system would exhibit comparable frame rates in Evolve, assuming the CPU remains constant. The overall combination ranks 2971 out of 3700 tested combos in the database for this game, placing it in the lower portion of the compatibility spectrum.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results indicate that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at higher resolutions, while the CPU becomes more relevant as resolution drops. At 3840x2160, the frame rates collapse across all settings, with the Ultra preset falling to 22 FPS and even Low only reaching 52 FPS. This pattern reveals that the Arc B570 cannot sustain the pixel throughput demanded by 4K rendering in Evolve, regardless of CPU headroom. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with its six cores and 12 threads based on Zen 2 architecture, has enough processing power to feed the GPU at lower resolutions, but it cannot compensate for the GPU's raw limitations at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the scaling between presets shows a more balanced workload. Low settings produce 92 FPS, while Medium drops to 71 FPS and High falls to 56 FPS. The steep decline from Medium to High suggests that the GPU is the limiting factor as visual complexity increases. The CPU's role becomes more evident at 1920x1080, where Low settings reach 137 FPS, a figure that indicates the processor can keep up with high frame rates. The 4600G's single-thread score of 726 in 3DMark and 1919 in Cinebench R23 demonstrates adequate per-core performance for a 2015-era FPS title like Evolve.

The data shows that resolution scaling has a dramatic effect on performance. Moving from 1080p High at 83 FPS to 1440p High at 56 FPS represents a 32.5% drop, while 4K High falls to 32 FPS, a 61.4% reduction from the 1080p figure. This nonlinear scaling points directly at the GPU as the dominant constraint. The CPU's multithreaded capabilities, evidenced by a Cinebench R23 multicore score of 13593, provide sufficient headroom for the game's logic and physics at all tested resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 83 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the threshold at 58 FPS, so High represents the optimal balance of visual quality and performance at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the best playable setting is Medium, delivering an average of 71 FPS. The High preset drops to 56 FPS, which fails to meet the 60 FPS playability threshold. Low runs at 92 FPS and remains a viable alternative for players seeking higher frame rates, but Medium offers the best visual quality within the playable range.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The closest option is Low at 52 FPS, followed by Medium at 40 FPS, High at 32 FPS, and Ultra at 22 FPS. The database records no playable settings at this resolution, meaning players must either lower the resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance.

The Verdict

This PC can run Evolve, but the playable range is limited to 1080p and 1440p. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on Low, Medium, and High presets, with High being the best choice at 83 FPS. The Ultra preset at 58 FPS is the only 1080p configuration that misses the mark. At 2560x1440, Low and Medium are both playable, with Medium at 71 FPS serving as the best option. High and Ultra at this resolution fail to reach 60 FPS, recording 56 FPS and 39 FPS respectively.

The verdict for 3840x2160 is unambiguous: no settings combination reaches the playable threshold. The highest recorded average is 52 FPS on Low, which still falls short. Players targeting 4K will need to lower their resolution or accept reduced visual fidelity. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, this combination provides a smooth experience in Evolve, with the GPU being the deciding factor at higher resolutions and the CPU proving adequate throughout.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded data shows the following average frame rates: Low settings produce 52 FPS, Medium produces 40 FPS with a minimum of 34 FPS and a maximum of 47 FPS, High produces 32 FPS, and Ultra produces 22 FPS. The Medium preset is the only 4K configuration with recorded min and max values, indicating a range of 13 FPS between the lowest and highest observed frames.

At 2560x1440, Low settings achieve 92 FPS, Medium achieves 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS and a maximum of 82 FPS, High achieves 56 FPS, and Ultra achieves 39 FPS. The Medium preset at this resolution maintains a minimum frame rate that exactly matches the 60 FPS playability threshold, making it a stable choice for consistent performance.

At 1920x1080, Low settings deliver 137 FPS, Medium delivers 106 FPS with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS, High delivers 83 FPS, and Ultra delivers 58 FPS. The 1080p Medium configuration shows the smallest relative variance among the recorded presets, with a 32 FPS spread between minimum and maximum values. The progression across resolutions shows a consistent pattern: each step down in resolution yields substantial gains in average frame rate, with the largest relative improvement occurring between 1440p High and 1080p High, where the average jumps from 56 FPS to 83 FPS.
