Evolve

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 in Evolve shows a clear progression of performance across resolutions and presets. The database entries contain average FPS figures for each configuration, with minimum and maximum values not recorded in this dataset.

At 3840x2160, the measured averages are as follows: Low settings produce 82.3 FPS, Medium settings produce 64 FPS, High settings produce 48.1 FPS, and Ultra settings produce 32.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is substantial, with Ultra delivering less than half the frame rate of Low. Medium sits comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, while High and Ultra fall below it.

Moving to 2560x1440, the averages improve considerably. Low settings reach 147.9 FPS, Medium reaches 113.8 FPS, High reaches 89 FPS, and Ultra reaches 63.3 FPS. Every preset at this resolution clears the 60 FPS mark, though Ultra does so by a narrow margin of 3.3 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is still large, but even the most demanding preset remains playable.

At 1920x1080, the combination shows its strongest results. Low settings average 218.6 FPS, Medium averages 168.3 FPS, High averages 129.3 FPS, and Ultra averages 93.9 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs roughly 50 FPS, and each subsequent preset tier reduces the frame rate further, but all four settings remain far above the playability threshold. Ultra at 1080p delivers more than three times the frame rate of Ultra at 4K.

The scaling pattern across resolutions is consistent. Moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces frame rates by approximately 32 to 38 percent depending on the preset. Moving from 1440p to 4K reduces frame rates by another 45 to 50 percent. The heaviest relative drop occurs between 1440p and 4K on the Ultra preset, where the average falls from 63.3 FPS to 32.7 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant performance limiter as resolution increases, while the CPU matters more at lower resolutions where frame rates are higher. This is a typical pattern for a first-person shooter with scalable graphics settings, and Evolve follows it closely.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough that the Ryzen 5 4600G's six cores and twelve threads must keep pace with the RTX 3070's output. The 218.6 FPS result on Low settings suggests the CPU can feed the GPU efficiently at this level. The drop from 218.6 FPS on Low to 168.3 FPS on Medium, then to 129.3 FPS on High and 93.9 FPS on Ultra, shows that graphics load increases are being handled by the GPU while the CPU maintains its output.

At 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on more of the workload. The difference between presets narrows in relative terms: Low produces 147.9 FPS while Ultra produces 63.3 FPS. The CPU still has headroom at this resolution, as evidenced by the fact that even the lowest preset does not approach the 1080p ceiling. The RTX 3070's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are sufficient for this resolution across all four presets.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly the bottleneck. The RTX 3070 cannot maintain 60 FPS on High settings at this resolution, and Ultra drops to 32.7 FPS. The CPU's role diminishes because the GPU is struggling to complete each frame within the target time. The fact that Low settings still achieve 82.3 FPS at 4K shows the GPU's raw capability, but the gap between presets indicates that memory bandwidth and shading throughput limit high-detail performance at this resolution.

The scaling between resolutions supports this interpretation. At 1080p, the difference between Low and Ultra is 124.7 FPS. At 1440p, the same comparison yields 84.6 FPS. At 4K, it is 49.6 FPS. As resolution increases, the absolute spread between presets shrinks, which is consistent with the GPU becoming fully saturated at higher pixel counts. The CPU, with a 3.70 GHz base clock and 4.20 GHz boost clock, provides enough single-thread performance for the game's engine at all tested configurations.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this combination at position 1554 out of 3700 tested combos for Evolve. That places it in the upper half of all recorded configurations, specifically within the 42nd percentile of tested systems. This is a respectable position for a pairing that includes a mid-range desktop APU from the 4000 series and a last-generation enthusiast GPU.

The rank reflects the balance between the two components. The RTX 3070 is the stronger contributor, with a GPU percentile of 61 against all GPUs in the database. The Ryzen 5 4600G sits at the 71st percentile against all CPUs. Neither component is at the top of its class, but both are above average, and the combination works well for this game.

The game itself was released in February 2015, which means it is not particularly demanding by modern standards. The measured FPS results show that this combo exceeds 60 FPS at 1080p and 1440p on every preset, and at 4K on Low and Medium. The ranking of 1554 out of 3700 reflects that many other combinations deliver higher frame rates, particularly those with newer CPUs and GPUs, but the overall position is solidly mid-pack.

The percentile data puts this combo ahead of the majority of tested systems. Systems ranked below 1554 would include those with weaker GPUs, weaker CPUs, or both. The combination's strength lies in the GPU, which carries the high-resolution performance, while the CPU's six cores and twelve threads are sufficient for the game's engine at lower resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals in the database provides context for how this combination compares to other hardware pairings. The CPU's nearest rivals in average benchmark score are the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE, the Intel Core 7 150U, and the Intel Core i3-14100T.

The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE has an average score of 17482, which is 0.1 percent lower than the Ryzen 5 4600G's average of 17507. This is a negligible difference, so a system with that CPU paired with an RTX 3070 would perform nearly identically in Evolve. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6 percent higher, again a marginal difference. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6 percent lower, and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8 percent higher. All four CPUs are within one percent of the Ryzen 5 4600G in average benchmark score, meaning any of them paired with the RTX 3070 would deliver very similar frame rates in this game.

On the GPU side, the nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690, the AMD Radeon HD 7970M, and the NVIDIA Tesla K40c. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT has an average score of 17083, which is 0.7 percent lower than the RTX 3070's average of 17208. The GeForce GTX 690 scores 17037, 1 percent lower. The AMD Radeon HD 7970M scores 17019, 1.1 percent lower. The NVIDIA Tesla K40c scores 17468, which is 1.5 percent higher than the RTX 3070.

These GPU rivals are all within 1.5 percent of the RTX 3070 in average benchmark score. For Evolve specifically, a system with the Ryzen 5 4600G and any of these GPUs would produce frame rates within a few FPS of the measured results. The RX 7600 XT is the most relevant modern comparison, as it is a current-generation card with similar overall performance. The GTX 690 and HD 7970M are older cards that the benchmark database scores as equivalent, though their feature sets differ significantly.

The Verdict

The verdict from the database is clear: this combination can run Evolve across most tested configurations. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with Ultra achieving 93.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are also playable, with Ultra achieving 63.3 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low and Medium are playable, with Medium achieving 64 FPS, but High falls to 48.1 FPS and Ultra drops to 32.7 FPS.

For a 60 FPS target, the system is fully capable at 1080p and 1440p with any preset. At 4K, the user must select Medium or Low to stay at or above 60 FPS. The RTX 3070's 8 GB of VRAM and the Ryzen 5 4600G's six cores provide enough performance for this 2015 title, which is not particularly demanding by modern standards.

The combination ranks 1554 out of 3700 tested combos, placing it in the upper half of all systems in the database. Given that the game is now over a decade old, this level of performance is more than adequate for competitive play or casual enjoyment. The system offers flexibility: users with 1080p or 1440p monitors can max out settings, while 4K users need to compromise on detail levels.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 64 FPS. Low also works at 82.3 FPS, but Medium provides better visual quality while still clearing the threshold by 4 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 63.3 FPS. All four presets are playable at this resolution, so users can select Ultra for maximum visual fidelity without dropping below the 60 FPS target.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is also Ultra, with an average of 93.9 FPS. This gives users substantial headroom above the threshold, meaning the system can handle scene complexity variations without dropping below 60 FPS in typical gameplay.

The recommended settings per resolution are therefore Medium at 4K, Ultra at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p. These selections maximize visual quality while maintaining the 60 FPS playability standard established by the database.
