Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 and AMD Radeon RX 570 combination delivers playable performance in Evolve only at 1920x1080 with Low settings, where it achieves an average of 75 FPS. At every other resolution and preset combination, the system falls short of the 60 FPS threshold, making this a strictly 1080p, low-to-medium preset pairing for this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the only preset that maintains an average at or above 60 FPS is Low, which delivers 75 FPS on average. The Medium preset comes close at 57.7 FPS but does not clear the 60 FPS playability bar. High settings drop to 48.2 FPS, and Ultra falls to 33.7 FPS, both well below the threshold.

At 2560x1440, no settings preset reaches 60 FPS. The best recorded result is Low at 54.8 FPS, followed by Medium at 42.4 FPS, High at 33.9 FPS, and Ultra at 19.6 FPS. None of these are playable according to the 60 FPS standard.

At 3840x2160, all presets are far below playable. Low averages 27.5 FPS, Medium 24.6 FPS, High 15.9 FPS, and Ultra 10.1 FPS. The resolution is effectively not viable for this game with this hardware.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Evolve at 1920x1080 with Medium settings?

A: No. The Medium preset at 1920x1080 averages 57.7 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playability threshold. Low settings are required to reach 75 FPS.

Q: What is the best playable setting at 2560x1440?

Q: What is the Ultra preset average FPS at 1920x1080?

A: The Ultra preset at 1920x1080 averages 33.7 FPS, which is roughly 43% lower than the Low preset's 75 FPS at the same resolution.

Q: Is 3840x2160 playable at any setting?

A: No. The highest average at 3840x2160 is 27.5 FPS on Low, far below the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra averages only 10.1 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured averages are as follows. Low settings produce 75 FPS, Medium produces 57.7 FPS, High produces 48.2 FPS, and Ultra produces 33.7 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 17.3 FPS, and from Medium to High the drop is 9.5 FPS. From High to Ultra, the drop is 14.5 FPS.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 54.8 FPS, Medium 42.4 FPS, High 33.9 FPS, and Ultra 19.6 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 12.4 FPS, while the Medium to High drop is 8.5 FPS, and the High to Ultra drop is 14.3 FPS. Compared to 1080p Low at 75 FPS, 1440p Low loses 20.2 FPS.

At 3840x2160, Low averages 27.4 FPS, Medium 24.6 FPS, High 15.9 FPS, and Ultra 10.1 FPS. The drop from Low to Medium is 2.9 FPS, from Medium to High is 8.7 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 5.8 FPS. The resolution scaling penalty is severe: 1080p Low at 75 FPS becomes 27.5 FPS at 4K Low, a reduction of 47.5 FPS.

The data shows consistent scaling behavior across resolutions. At every preset, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces FPS by roughly 20 to 30 percent. Moving from 1440p to 4K roughly halves the frame rate again. For example, Medium at 1080p (57.7 FPS) drops to 42.4 FPS at 1440p and then to 24.6 FPS at 4K.

The Verdict

This PC can run Evolve, but only at 1920x1080 with Low settings, where it averages 75 FPS. That is the sole configuration in the recorded data that clears the 60 FPS playability threshold. The Medium preset at 1080p comes close at 57.7 FPS, but it is still below the threshold, and High at 48.2 FPS is further away. Ultra at 1080p, at 33.7 FPS, is not recommended for playable framerates.

At 2560x1440, the verdict is negative across the board. Even Low settings only reach 54.8 FPS, which is 5.2 FPS short of the 60 FPS target. Medium, High and Ultra are 42.4 FPS, 33.9 FPS and 19.7 FPS respectively. The 3840x2160 resolution is similarly unplayable at every preset, with Low peaking at 27.5 FPS FPS and Ultra at 10.1 FPS FPS.

The GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing. The Ryzen 5 5600, which ranks in the 74th percentile among all CPUs, is a strong processor with 6 cores and 12 threads. The RX 570, also in the 74th percentile among GPUs, has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and a 256-bit memory bus providing 224 GB/s bandwidth. However, the RX 570's compute throughput of 5.095 TFLOPS is not enough to sustain higher presets in Evolve at 1080p. Benchmark results indicate that the combination ranks 3540 out of 3700 tested combos in Evolve, indicating below the median. The CPU's performance is 0.1% ahead of the Core Ultra 7 258V, while the GPU's performance is 0.1% behind the RX 6800M.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 5 5600 has near-identical CPU performance to several other processors in the database. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V has an average score of 20454, 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 5 5600's 20468. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425, 0.2% behind. The AMD EPYC 9454P scores 20422, 0.2% behind, and the AMD EPYC 7713 scores 20363, 0.5% behind. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would deliver effectively the same frame rates in Evolve when paired with the RX 570.

On the GPU side, the AMD Radeon RX 570 (average score 28766) sits within 0.8% of the RX 470, which scores 28996. The RX 570 is also 0.4% ahead of the RX 6800M (28874) and 0.7% ahead of the R9 M295X (28580). The Quadro RTX 8000 scores 28421, 1.2% behind the RX 570. These GPUs would produce nearly identical results in the game, meaning the same 1080p Low playable configuration would apply.

The practical takeaway: swapping the Ryzen 5 5600 for a Core Ultra 7 258V or an EPYC 7713 would not change the outcome. Similarly, replacing the RX 570 with an RX 470 or RX 6800M would not move the FPS numbers meaningfully in Evolve. The bottleneck is the GPU's raw throughput, not the specific model variant.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 + AMD Radeon RX 570 combination ranks 3540 out of 3700 tested combos in Evolve. This places it in the bottom 5th percentile of tested configurations, meaning about 95% of tested combos perform better in this game. The relatively low rank reflects the GPU's inability to push past Medium settings at 1080p.

The CPU itself is strong enough for Evolve. The Ryzen 5 5600 scores 18309 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2584 in single-core, placing it in the 74th percentile of all CPUs. In gaming, however, the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration is more than sufficient. The GPU's 4 GB memory capacity and 224 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for low resolution work, and the measured FPS data confirms it can hit 75 FPS at 1080p Low.

The combination's rank in the 3540th position is consistent with the measured data. Since only one preset (1080p Low) clears 60 FPS, and all other presets fall short, the overall ranking falls toward the bottom of the list. The verdict by resolution is clear: playable at 1080p Low, not playable at 1440p or 4K, and not playable at 1080p Medium or higher. For users who prioritize Evolve, this hardware is a marginal fit, and the only way to get a smooth experience is to accept Low settings at 1080p.
