Evolve

Evolve is a 2015 FPS, and pairing it with an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 produces frame rates that are far beyond what the game demands. The recorded data shows this combination clears the playable threshold at every resolution and every preset tested, including Ultra at 4K. The interesting question is not whether the game runs, but where the limits of this pairing actually sit, and the answer is that the RTX 4090 is doing nearly all of the heavy lifting while the 4600G keeps up comfortably for a title of this age.

FAQ

Q: Can the Ryzen 5 4600G + RTX 4090 run Evolve at 60 FPS?

A: Yes, at every tested resolution and preset. The lowest average in the entire dataset is 60 FPS, recorded at 3840x2160 on Ultra. Every other configuration, from 1920x1080 Low (232 FPS) up to 4K High (86 FPS), exceeds that mark.

Q: What is the highest frame rate recorded for this combo in Evolve?

A: 232 FPS average, at 1920x1080 on the Low preset. The highest recorded instantaneous frame rate is 243 FPS, logged during the 1920x1080 Medium run, where the average was 211 FPS with a minimum of 179.

Q: Does the CPU hold this pairing back?

A: Not for Evolve. The Ryzen 5 4600G sits in the 71st percentile against all CPUs in the database, with 6 cores and 12 threads, and a single-thread Passmark score of 2653. For a game released in 2015, that is more than sufficient, and frame rates scale upward with resolution, which indicates the GPU, not the CPU, is the binding constraint at higher settings.

Q: How strong is the RTX 4090 in this database?

A: It ranks in the 88th percentile against all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 60347. Its nearest rivals by aggregate score include the Intel Arc Pro A60 (60326, a 0 percent delta), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 (60140, 0.3 percent behind), and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M (61896, 2.5 percent ahead).

Q: Is the 4600G a strong CPU by database standards?

A: It is solidly mid-range. Its average benchmark score of 17507 places it within a fraction of a percent of chips like the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE (17482, 0.1 percent delta), the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE (17614, 0.6 percent delta), the Intel Core 7 150U (17395, 0.6 percent delta), and the Intel Core i3-14100T (17648, 0.8 percent delta).

Q: Where does this exact pairing rank among tested combos for Evolve?

A: Rank 360 out of 3700 tested combinations, which places it in the top portion of the field for this game.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling data makes the division of labor clear. Moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 on Ultra drops the average from 156 FPS to 60 FPS, a fall of roughly 62 percent as pixel count quadruples. That is classic GPU-bound behavior: the frame rate is determined by how much rendering work the RTX 4090 can push, not by how fast the Ryzen 5 4600G can feed it.

At 1920x1080 the picture shifts slightly. Frame rates compress toward a ceiling across presets, from 156 FPS on Ultra to 232 FPS on Low, and at some point the 4600G becomes the limiting factor. Even so, the recorded numbers never dip near the 60 FPS threshold at this resolution, so the CPU ceiling is academic for Evolve. The 4600G's credentials, 6 cores, 12 threads, a 4.20 boost clock, and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593, are ample for a 2015 title. Its R23 single-core score of 1919 and Geekbench single-core score of 1460 show per-thread throughput that games of this era simply do not stress.

The practical takeaway: at 1080p the CPU matters more in relative terms because the GPU has headroom to spare, but in absolute terms neither component is challenged. At 1440p and 4K the RTX 4090 with its 82.58 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 1.01 TB/s of memory bandwidth is entirely in control.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080:

• Low: 232 FPS average
• Medium: 211 FPS average, 179 minimum, 243 maximum
• High: 193 FPS average
• Ultra: 156 FPS average

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 203 FPS average
• Medium: 185 FPS average, 157 minimum, 212 maximum
• High: 151 FPS average
• Ultra: 105 FPS average

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 141 FPS average
• Medium: 110 FPS average, 93 minimum, 126 maximum
• High: 86 FPS average
• Ultra: 60 FPS average

The spread between Low and Ultra narrows as resolution climbs: 76 FPS at 1080p, 98 FPS at 1440p, 81 FPS at 4K. The Medium preset is the only one with minimum and maximum frame data recorded at each resolution, and those numbers are reassuring. A 93 FPS minimum at 4K Medium means even the worst moments stay well above 60, and the 157 FPS minimum at 1440p Medium shows essentially locked-smooth performance. At 1440p and below, every preset more than doubles the playable threshold.

The one figure that deserves attention is 4K Ultra at exactly 60 FPS average. With no minimum recorded for that run, it is reasonable to expect dips below 60 during demanding scenes, since averages always sit above minimums. Dropping to 4K High buys 26 additional frames on average, a comfortable margin.

How This Combo Ranks

This pairing ranks 360 out of 3700 combinations tested in Evolve in the database. That placement reflects the RTX 4090 more than the CPU. The 4090 sits in the 88th percentile of all GPUs with a Passmark G3D score of 38194, while the 4600G sits in the 71st percentile of CPUs. In a game this old, the GPU percentile dominates the outcome because the title's engine demands little from the host processor.

Among the 4090's nearest rivals by average score, the Intel Arc Pro A60 is statistically identical (0 percent delta), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 48 trails by 0.3 percent, the AMD Radeon PRO V710 trails by 2.9 percent, and the AMD Radeon Pro W6600M leads by 2.5 percent. On the CPU side, the 4600G's average score of 17507 sits within one percent of the Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE, Ryzen 3 8300GE, Core 7 150U, and Core i3-14100T. Any of those processors paired with a comparable GPU would deliver similar Evolve results, which tells you the ranking here is driven almost entirely by graphics horsepower.

The Verdict

Yes, unambiguously. According to the verdict data, all four presets are playable at all three resolutions. The list of playable settings at 3840x2160, 2560x1440, and 1920x1080 is identical: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra.

At 1080p and 1440p, the game is not merely playable but fast: Ultra delivers 156 FPS at 1080p and 105 FPS at 1440p. At 4K, Ultra lands exactly at the 60 FPS average, which clears the bar but leaves zero margin, so players sensitive to dips should use High at 86 FPS instead. Everything else in the dataset, eleven of twelve recorded configurations, exceeds 60 FPS by a wide margin.

For a competitive FPS where high refresh rates matter, this pairing delivers: 232 FPS at 1080p Low is enough to saturate a high-refresh monitor, and even 4K Medium at 110 FPS average with a 93 FPS minimum is smooth.

Best Settings per Resolution

• 3840x2160 (4K): Ultra, at 60 FPS average. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above the threshold, but with no headroom. High at 86 FPS is the safer pick for consistent smoothness.
• 2560x1440: Ultra, at 105 FPS average. A 45 FPS cushion over the threshold makes this the clear choice at this resolution.
• 1920x1080: Ultra, at 156 FPS average. Nearly triple the playable threshold, with Medium offering 211 FPS average and a 179 FPS minimum if maximum fluidity is the goal.

In short, run Ultra everywhere. The only caveat in the entire dataset is 4K Ultra sitting exactly at 60 FPS, and even there, one step down to High restores a comfortable margin.
