Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers a wide range of frame rates in Evolve, with every tested resolution and preset combination clearing the 60 FPS playable threshold. The data shows that this combination is far more capable than the game demands, even at 4K with maximum settings. The following sections break down the recorded measurements, provide answers to common questions, and contextualize this combo within the broader benchmark database.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average frame rate at or above 60 FPS. Based on the recorded data, the combo can handle the highest quality preset at every resolution tested.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 61.9 FPS. This is a tight but clear margin above the playable threshold, indicating that the Ultra preset is viable but leaves little headroom for frame-time spikes in demanding scenes.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 110.1 FPS. This is nearly double the playable threshold, providing substantial headroom for smooth gameplay even during intense action sequences.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 164.6 FPS. The frame rates here are well above the threshold, making this the most fluid experience of the three resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data includes average frame rates for four presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) across three resolutions. No minimum or maximum frame rate values were recorded, so the analysis relies solely on averages.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are consistently high. The Low preset averages 229.3 FPS, the Medium preset averages 211.7 FPS, the High preset averages 193.9 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 164.6 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a steady decline of roughly 28% from the fastest to the slowest preset.

At 2560x1440, the pattern is similar but with lower absolute values. The Low preset averages 201.7 FPS, the Medium preset averages 183.4 FPS, the High preset averages 157.5 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 110.1 FPS. The drop from Low to Ultra is approximately 45%, which is a larger relative penalty than at 1080p.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates remain playable but show the steepest decline with increasing quality. The Low preset averages 145.5 FPS, the Medium preset averages 114.5 FPS, the High preset averages 87.3 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 61.9 FPS. The Ultra preset is the only measurement in the entire dataset that falls below 70 FPS, and it sits just above the 60 FPS threshold.

Across all resolutions, the gap between Low and Medium is smaller than the gap between Medium and High or High and Ultra. For example, at 1440p, Low to Medium is a 18.3 FPS difference, Medium to High is a 25.9 FPS difference, and High to Ultra is a 47.4 FPS difference. This suggests that the Ultra preset imposes a disproportionately larger load compared to the other settings.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC can run Evolve at all tested resolutions and presets, with every combination averaging above 60 FPS. The verdict by resolution is unambiguous: at 3840x2160, the playable settings include High, Low, Medium, and Ultra, with the best playable preset being Ultra at 61.9 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra at 110.1 FPS as the best option. At 1920x1080, all presets are playable, with Ultra at 164.6 FPS.

The strongest performance is at 1080p, where even the most demanding preset leaves more than 100 FPS of headroom above the threshold. At 1440p, the Ultra preset still provides nearly double the required frame rate. At 4K, the Ultra preset is technically playable but sits close to the limit; users who prefer a larger safety margin could step down to High settings, which average 87.3 FPS.

Given the game's release date and the measured frame rates, this combo is overwhelmingly overqualified for Evolve. The only scenario that approaches the playable boundary is 4K Ultra, and even that clears the threshold by 1.9 FPS.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded FPS data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU workload shifts across resolutions and presets. Since the GPU is a high-end part with a strong benchmark profile, while the CPU is a mid-range 6-core processor, the data suggests that the CPU becomes a more significant factor at lower resolutions and lower presets, where the GPU is not fully taxed.

At 1920x1080, the frame rates are extremely high, with Low reaching 229.3 FPS. These rates are likely to be influenced by CPU limits, as the GPU has ample capacity to render frames faster than the CPU can feed it. The scaling from Low to Ultra is relatively modest, with a 64.7 FPS drop, indicating that the GPU is not the sole bottleneck; the CPU's single-thread and multi-thread performance, as reflected in its benchmark scores, plays a role in sustaining these high averages.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates decrease but remain high, with Low at 201.7 FPS and Ultra at 110.1 FPS. The larger relative drop from Low to Ultra (45%) compared to 1080p (28%) indicates that the GPU is starting to take on more of the workload as resolution increases. The CPU still contributes, but the GPU's rendering load becomes more dominant.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates drop significantly, especially at Ultra (61.9 FPS). This resolution places the heaviest load on the GPU, and the data shows that the GPU's performance, not the CPU, is the primary limiter here. The CPU's role diminishes as the GPU struggles to maintain high frame rates at 4K, particularly with the Ultra preset.

The benchmark scores support this interpretation. The RTX 5090 has a percentile rank of 92 among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 5 4600G has a percentile rank of 71 among all CPUs. At lower resolutions, the CPU's relative weakness becomes more apparent, while at 4K, the GPU's dominance in rendering workload takes over.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the database of tested combinations for Evolve, this specific pairing of an AMD Ryzen 5 4600G and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 ranks at 331 out of 3700 tested combos. This places the combo in the top percentile of all tested systems, reflecting the strong overall performance of the GPU paired with a competent but not top-tier CPU.

The rank of 331 out of 3700 means that approximately 91% of tested combos perform worse in this game. The high GPU benchmark scores, including a Passmark G3D score of 39650 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 376728, drive this ranking. The CPU contributes with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 13593 and a single-core score of 1919, which are adequate but not exceptional.

For a game like Evolve, which is not particularly demanding by modern standards, the GPU's enormous headroom ensures that this combo ranks highly. The CPU's mid-range position in the database does not hold back the overall ranking because the game's frame rates are so far above the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide insight into what other hardware would behave similarly. For the AMD Ryzen 5 4600G, the closest alternatives by average benchmark score include the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE with a delta of 0.1%, the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE with a delta of -0.6%, the Intel Core 7 150U with a delta of 0.6%, and the Intel Core i3-14100T with a delta of -0.8%. These CPUs have average scores within roughly 1% of the 4600G, meaning they would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve when paired with the same GPU.

For the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB with a delta of 0.3%, the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB with a delta of 0.6%, the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT with a delta of 1.1%, and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X with a delta of -1.4%. These GPUs have average scores within about 1.5% of the RTX 5090, indicating that they would deliver similar, though slightly lower, frame rates in Evolve.

A user with any of these alternative CPUs paired with the RTX 5090 would see essentially the same performance as the 4600G, since the differences in CPU benchmark scores are minimal. Likewise, swapping the RTX 5090 for one of its nearest rival GPUs would result in a marginal FPS change, likely within a few frames of the recorded averages. The data shows that this combo sits in a performance neighborhood where small hardware variations do not meaningfully alter the gameplay experience for Evolve.
