CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear pattern across resolutions and presets. The Ryzen 5 4600G system paired with the RTX 4060 demonstrates strong scaling from lower resolutions, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions. At 1920x1080, the combination reaches 189 FPS on Low, 147.2 FPS on Medium, 112.7 FPS on High, and 81.7 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages drop to 126.5 FPS on Low, 99.8 FPS on Medium, and 74.4 FPS on High. At 3840x2160, the numbers fall further to 75.7 FPS on Low, 57.9 FPS on Medium, and 41.7 FPS on High.

The performance scaling between resolutions shows that CPU influence matters more when settings are reduced. At 1080p, the gap between Low and Ultra is roughly 107 FPS. This compression of performance at higher settings indicates the GPU workload grows faster than the CPU can feed. The CPU, a 6-core, 12-thread Renoir part with a base clock of 3.70 GHz and boost of 4.20 GHz, has enough headroom for the frame rates at lower presets, but the GPU is the component that dictates playable settings at 4K.

At 1440p, the combination behaves like a GPU-bound system in most cases. The difference between Low and Ultra at 2560x1440 is about 69 FPS, less than the 107 FPS gap at 1080p. The CPU contribution diminishes as resolution scales, while the GPU utilization rises with each step up in settings. The data from the FPS measurements across resolutions shows the RTX 4060 is the decisive component at 2160p, where even Medium presets fail to sustain 60 FPS.

The CPU is a modest performer in the database, with a passmark multithread score of 726 and a single-thread score of 3dmark single-thread score in passmark of 2653. Comparatively, the CPU has a multi-core score of 13593 in Cinebench R23. As a result, the CPU can sustain frame rates well above 100 FPS at 1080p with Low and Medium presets, but the GPU is the bottleneck for Ultra and 4K.

The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Low settings is 113 FPS, which is a significant drop. From 1440p to 1080p High, the delta is 38 FPS. These numbers confirm the GPU workload is primary at higher resolutions and settings. The CPU does not limit the RTX 4060 at 1080p Ultra, which averages 81.7 FPS, a result that demonstrates CPU ample for most presets.

The RTX 4060 has a 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, an 8 GB GDDR6 VRAM, and a 300 W suggested PSU. The GPU uses 24 RT cores and 96 tensor cores, with a 5 nm process node and a 159 mm² die size. The GPU's architecture is Ada Lovelace, and it has a base clock of 1830 MHz and boost of 2460 MHz.

At 4K, the GPU is the only component that keeps the system above 60 FPS at all, and it does so only at Low. The CPU's 8 MB of shared L3 cache and dual-channel DDR4 memory bus are sufficient for the game's needs, but the RTX 4060's 8 GB VRAM and 272 GB/s bandwidth are the limiting factors at Ultra. The data suggests a CPU upgrade would not materially change the 4K result, while a GPU upgrade would.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 5 4600G sits close to several other processors in the database. Its nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, with an average score of 17482, a delta of 0.1% ahead of the Ryzen 5. The Intel Core 7 150U scores 17395, 0.6% behind. The AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614, 0.6% ahead, and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648, 0.8% ahead. These processors would behave similarly in games, with the difference between any of them being negligible in the context of Evolve's frame rates.

The RTX 4060's nearest rivals in the GPU database are also close. The AMD Radeon HD 7790 scores 17666, 0.2% ahead of the RTX 4060. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 17588, 0.3% behind. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 scores 17551, 0.5% behind, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 scores 17509, 0.7% behind. A system with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would produce nearly identical FPS measurements.

For a user considering the RTX 4060, the nearest rivals suggest that the GPU is in a tightly packed tier. The Radeon 780M is an integrated GPU but scores within 0.3% of the RTX 4060, so a system with a Radeon 780M would display similar average FPS in Evolve at the same settings. The Radeon HD 7790 is an older discrete card, yet its score is 0.2% above the RTX 4060, meaning it would be indistinguishable in gameplay.

The CPU rivals are all in a similar performance band. The Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, Core 7 150U, Ryzen 3 8300GE, and Core i3-14100T are all within 0.8% of the Ryzen 5 4600G. None of these processors would produce a measurable difference in Evolve's frame rates, as the game is not CPU-bound at any of the tested settings based on the FPS scaling data.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Evolve, but the playable range depends on the resolution. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS at every preset, including Ultra at 81.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, High is the best playable preset at 74.4 FPS, while Ultra falls to 57.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, with an average of 75.7 FPS. Medium at 57.9 FPS and High at 41.7 FPS are both below the playable threshold.

The verdict data confirms these results: 1080p supports Ultra through Low, 1440p supports High through Low, and 2160p supports only Low. The system is a capable 1080p machine for Evolve, and a 1440p system at High preset, but the 4K experience is limited to Low.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded average FPS values are 189 FPS on Low Settings, 147.2 FPS on Medium Settings, 112.2 FPS on High Settings, and 81.7 FPS on Ultra Settings. The minimum FPS and maximum FPS values are not recorded, and the maximum FPS values are not recorded in the database.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS values are 126.5 FPS on Low Settings, 99.8 FPS on Medium Settings, 74.4 FPS on High Settings, and 57.1 FPS on Ultra Settings. The minimum and maximum FPS values are not recorded.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS values are 75.7 FPS on Low Settings, 57.9 FPS on Medium Settings, 41.7 FPS on High Settings, and 32.4 FPS on Ultra Settings. The minimum and maximum FPS values are not recorded.

The data shows a consistent relationship between resolutions and settings. At 1080p, the system is never below 60 FPS, and at 1440p, only Ultra drops below 60 FPS. At 4K resolution, only Low remains above 60 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium scales with resolution, and the gap between Medium and High is smaller at lower resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings preset is Ultra, with an average FPS of 81.7. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at this resolution. At 2560x1440, the best settings preset is High, with an average FPS of 74.4. At 3840x2160, the best settings preset is Low, with an average FPS of 75.7.

The best settings at each resolution are the highest presets that remain playable. At 1080p, Ultra is the best choice. At 1440p, High is the best choice. At 4K, Low is the best choice. All three have average FPS above the 60 FPS threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 ranks 1993 out of 3700 tested combos in the database for Evolve. This is the 1993rd best combination out of 3700 total. The rank places this system in the middle of the database for this game.

The CPU ranks in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU ranks in the 61st percentile among all GPUs. This is a balanced system, with the CPU being slightly stronger relative to its peers than the GPU. The combination rank of 1993 suggests that there are many systems with higher scores, but also many with lower scores.
