Evolve

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 4600G sits in a tightly contested CPU performance band. Its average benchmark score of 17507 places it within 1% of several nearby processors. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 5355GE scores 17482, a delta of just 0.1% from the 4600G, meaning the two chips are effectively interchangeable in CPU-bound scenarios. The Intel Core 7 150U, with an average score of 17395, trails by 0.6%, while the AMD Ryzen 3 8300GE scores 17614 (0.6% ahead) and the Intel Core i3-14100T scores 17648 (0.8% ahead). None of these rivals move the needle by more than a single percentage point, so any of them would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in Evolve if paired with the same GPU.

On the graphics side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D holds an average benchmark score of 77712, and its nearest rivals cluster within a narrow 3.5% band. The AMD Radeon RX 6650M XT scores 76904, which is 1.1% lower, while the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT scores 78940 (1.6% higher), the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB scores 79396 (2.1% higher), and the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB scores 79605 (2.4% higher). For Evolve specifically, the RTX 5090 D and these alternatives should produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates; the delta between the slowest and fastest of this group is small enough that in-game settings and driver behavior would matter more than the choice among them.

The CPU percentile ranking of 71 versus all CPUs, combined with the GPU percentile ranking of 92 versus all GPUs, indicates that this pairing is heavily GPU-saturated. The 4600G is a mid-pack processor, while the RTX 5090 D sits near the top of the GPU hierarchy. In practice, the CPU will be the limiting factor at lower resolutions and high frame rates, while the GPU headroom remains vast. Users upgrading from one of the rival CPUs listed above would see almost no change in Evolve performance; users swapping the GPU for one of its listed rivals would likewise see single-digit FPS differences.

How This Combo Ranks

The recorded data places this CPU-GPU combination at rank 294 out of 3700 tested combos in Evolve. That puts it in the top 8% of all configurations in the database. The interpretation is straightforward: this is a high-performing pairing for the game, even though the CPU is not a flagship part. The RTX 5090 D dominates the frame rate output, and the Ryzen 5 4600G, while not elite, is sufficient to feed the GPU at the settings and resolutions measured.

To contextualize the rank, consider that only 293 other combinations out of 3700 outperform this one in Evolve. That places the combo ahead of roughly 3400 configurations. The ranking reflects the massive GPU headroom. A weaker GPU paired with a stronger CPU would likely rank lower in this specific game, because Evolve's frame rate at these settings is heavily dependent on graphics throughput. The 4600G's 71st percentile CPU standing does not drag the combo down as much as one might expect, because the measured FPS values are all well above the 60 FPS playability threshold.

The combo rank of 294 also signals that the RTX 5090 D is doing most of the heavy lifting. If the GPU were replaced with one of its nearest rivals (for example, the RX 6650M XT), the combo would likely drop in rank by a noticeable margin, even though the average benchmark delta is only 1.1%. That is because in-game FPS scaling is not perfectly linear with synthetic benchmark scores. Still, within the context of the 3700 tested combos, this pairing sits comfortably in the upper tier.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the data shows a clear gradient across presets. On Low settings, the average FPS is 154. Medium settings drop to 120 average, with a minimum of 102 and a maximum of 138. High settings yield 94 average. Ultra settings bring the average down to 65. All four presets exceed the 60 FPS playability threshold, but Ultra is the only one that lands close to it. The spread from Low to Ultra is 89 FPS, indicating that Evolve scales significantly with GPU load at 4K.

Moving to 2560x1440 (1440p), the frame rates rise substantially. Low settings produce 203 average FPS. Medium settings deliver 185 average, with a minimum of 157 and a maximum of 212. High settings hit 165 average. Ultra settings still manage 114 average. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 89 FPS, matching the 4K spread but from a higher baseline. The Ultra preset at 1440p runs nearly as fast as the High preset at 1080p, which demonstrates the GPU's headroom at this resolution.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the results are consistently high. Low settings average 232 FPS. Medium settings average 211, with a minimum of 179 and a maximum of 243. High settings average 193. Ultra settings average 169. Even the most demanding preset at 1080p stays well above 144 FPS, meaning the combo is suitable for high-refresh-rate monitors at this resolution. The minimum recorded FPS across all measured scenarios is 102 (4K Medium), and the maximum is 243 (1080p Medium). No measured setting dips below the 60 FPS threshold.

The Verdict

The verdict is unambiguous: this PC can run Evolve at every resolution and preset combination that was measured. At 3840x2160, all four presets (Low, Medium, High, and Ultra) clear 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 65 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets also clear 60 FPS, and Ultra averages 114 FPS, which is nearly double the playability threshold. At 1920x1080, all four presets clear 60 FPS by a wide margin, with Ultra averaging 169 FPS.

The data indicates that the most demanding scenario, 4K Ultra, is still playable, but it is the only configuration that sits within 5 FPS of the 60 FPS line. Users who want a safety margin at 4K should consider High settings instead, which average 94 FPS. At 1440p and 1080p, there is no practical concern; even the heaviest preset leaves ample headroom.

The RTX 5090 D is the dominant factor here. The Ryzen 5 4600G does not bottleneck the GPU at any measured setting, as evidenced by the fact that the lowest average FPS across all tests is 65 (4K Ultra), and that is a GPU-bound scenario. The CPU percentile of 71 is sufficient for this game's engine at these frame rates. The measured data is consistent: every single preset, from 1080p Low to 4K Ultra, delivers playable performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average FPS of 65. This is the maximum quality setting available, and it still clears the playability threshold, albeit narrowly. Users who prefer more margin could choose High, which averages 94 FPS, but the data confirms that Ultra is playable.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average FPS of 114. This leaves a comfortable 54 FPS of headroom above the threshold, so there is no reason to drop below Ultra at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average FPS of 169. The headroom here is massive, exceeding the playability threshold by 109 FPS. In all three resolutions, the recorded data supports running the game at maximum quality without sacrificing the 60 FPS target.
