Evolve

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, this combination delivers strong frame rates across every preset. Low settings produce an average of 178.7 FPS, which is the highest recorded result for this pairing at any resolution or preset. Medium settings follow at 137.9 FPS, High at 109.8 FPS, and Ultra at 75.4 FPS. All four presets at 1080p clear the 60 FPS playability threshold, with Ultra still holding a comfortable margin above it. The spread between Low and Ultra is about 103 FPS, indicating that the GPU headroom at this resolution allows substantial quality scaling before performance becomes a concern.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain playable but the gap between presets widens in percentage terms. Low settings produce 116.9 FPS, which is still very high. Medium drops to 92.4 FPS, and High to 74.3 FPS. Ultra falls to 51.1 FPS, which sits below the 60 FPS playability line. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is about 66 FPS, and the Ultra preset is the only one that fails to maintain 60 FPS average. High at 74.3 FPS is the best quality setting that remains comfortably playable, offering a 13 FPS buffer over the threshold.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings average 66.2 FPS, which is playable but with a thinner margin of just over 6 FPS. Medium drops to 54.3 FPS, High to 39.2 FPS, and Ultra to 28.6 FPS. Only the Low preset clears 60 FPS at 4K. The drop from Low to Medium is about 12 FPS, from Medium to High about 15 FPS, and from High to Ultra about 11 FPS. The scaling pattern suggests that each preset tier at 4K removes roughly 11 to 15 FPS on average, with the GPU becoming the limiting factor well before the higher quality settings are enabled.

The data does not include minimum or maximum frame time measurements, so only average FPS values are available for analysis. The recorded averages indicate consistent behavior across resolution and preset combinations, with no anomalies that would suggest stuttering or frame pacing problems in the measured runs.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark results show a clear shift in component importance as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more influence because the GPU can produce frames faster than the processor can feed it in certain scenes. The 178.7 FPS result on Low settings at 1080p is close to what the CPU can sustain in this game, while the Ultra preset at 75.4 FPS shows the GPU beginning to take over. The Ryzen 5 4600G, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, has enough single-thread performance for this 2015 FPS title, and the 1080p results indicate that neither component is completely bottlenecked at any preset.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The 74.3 FPS High preset result versus the 116.9 FPS Low preset result shows a 36% performance gap from lowering quality, which is much larger than the CPU scaling would produce. The Ultra preset at 51.1 FPS reinforces this: the RTX 2070 SUPER is working harder per frame, and the CPU has more idle time. The scaling from 1080p Ultra at 75.4 FPS to 1440p Ultra at 51.1 FPS represents a 32% reduction in frame rate, which is consistent with a GPU-bound workload at higher pixel counts.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is unquestionably the limiting component. The Ultra preset at 28.6 FPS is less than half of the 1440p Ultra result, and even Low at 66.2 FPS requires significantly reduced settings to stay above 60. The RTX 2070 SUPER has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, and at 4K the pixel throughput demands of Evolve exceed what this GPU can deliver at higher presets. The CPU scaling between 1080p and 4K on the same preset is minimal in percentage terms compared to the GPU scaling, confirming that the graphics card dictates performance at 4K.

The integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics in the Ryzen 5 4600G are not used in these measurements; the dedicated RTX 2070 SUPER handles all rendering. The CPU's 65 W TDP and Zen 2 architecture provide sufficient compute for Evolve's gameplay logic and physics, and the 3.70 GHz base clock with 4.20 GHz boost clock are adequate for this title. The PCIe Gen 3 x16 interface for the GPU does not appear to introduce a measurable bottleneck, as the frame rates scale consistently with resolution and preset changes.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination ranks 2132 out of 3700 tested combos in the database for Evolve. That places it in the lower half of tested systems, but the percentile position is more informative when read alongside the actual FPS data. The combo rank reflects all tested combos, including those with much newer and more expensive hardware. At 1080p, this pairing outperforms a large portion of the field because Evolve is an older title and the RTX 2070 SUPER is still capable at that resolution. The rank of 2132 means roughly 57% of tested combos achieve higher overall performance, but the measured FPS shows that this system handles the game well at standard monitor resolutions.

The GPU percentile versus all GPUs is 65, meaning it sits above the median. The CPU percentile versus all CPUs is 71, which is above the median as well. Neither component is a weak link in absolute terms, but the combination rank is dragged down by the fact that many tested combos pair newer CPUs with newer GPUs. For a system built around a 2020 release CPU and a 2019 release GPU, this rank is reasonable. The 1080p Ultra result of 75.4 FPS and the 1440p High result of 74.3 FPS are both solid outcomes for a game released in 2015.

The rank becomes more meaningful when considering that the database includes combos with RTX 40-series and RX 7000-series cards, which naturally score higher. Against similarly aged hardware, this combination sits near the middle of the pack. The 4K results pull the rank down, as only the Low preset is playable at that resolution. If the comparison were restricted to 1080p and 1440p performance, the rank would be higher. The recorded data shows that this is a capable mid-range system for Evolve, not a top-tier one.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G provide context for CPU performance. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average score of 17482, which is 0.1% higher than the 4600G's 17507 average. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% lower. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6% higher. The Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8% higher. These deltas are all within 1% of the 4600G, meaning any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve when paired with the same GPU. The 4600G's 6-core, 12-thread configuration with 8 MB shared L3 cache is competitive with these alternatives in this game.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER, the nearest rivals show similar performance margins. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M has an average score of 20480, which is 1% higher than the 2070 SUPER's 20282. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2% higher. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.3% higher. The Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 1.5% higher. All four alternatives are within 1.5% of the 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score, so swapping to any of them would yield nearly identical Evolve frame rates. The RTX 3070 Mobile is a laptop part, so its desktop equivalent would be faster, but the recorded data shows the mobile version lands close to the 2070 SUPER.

A system built with any of these CPU alternatives and the same RTX 2070 SUPER would produce FPS numbers within roughly 1 FPS of the measured results at every resolution and preset. Similarly, keeping the 4600G and swapping the GPU to any of the listed alternatives would also produce nearly identical results. The practical takeaway is that this performance tier has many close equivalents, and the exact component choice matters less than the overall balance.

The Verdict

This system can run Evolve, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and settings. At 1920x1080, every preset is playable. Ultra averages 75.4 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold with a 15 FPS margin. This is the best way to play the game with this hardware: maximum quality at a standard monitor resolution, with high frame rates that suit a fast-paced FPS title.

At 2560x1440, High is the best playable setting, averaging 74.3 FPS. Low and Medium also work, at 116.9 FPS and 92.4 FPS respectively, but Ultra at 51.1 FPS fails the 60 FPS test. Players with 1440p monitors should stick to High for the best balance of visual quality and smoothness. The margin at High is about 14 FPS, which is comfortable for most gameplay scenarios.

At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, averaging 66.2 FPS. Medium at 54.3 FPS, High at 39.2 FPS, and Ultra at 28.6 FPS are all below the 60 FPS threshold. For 4K owners, the recommendation is to run Low settings if playability is the priority, or to consider lowering the resolution. The RTX 2070 SUPER has enough power for Evolve at 1080p and 1440p, but 4K requires significant compromises.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p is fully playable at all quality levels, 1440p is playable up to High settings, and 4K is playable only at Low. This hardware dates from 2019 and 2020, and Evolve from 2015 is not a demanding title by modern standards. The system performs as expected for its age and component tier, offering a solid experience at mainstream resolutions without the headroom for high-refresh 4K gaming.
