Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600 paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 delivers a consistent 60 FPS experience in Evolve at 1080p and 1440p, but falls short of the playability threshold at 4K across all tested presets. The recorded data shows a clear progression of performance scaling tied to resolution and graphical preset, with the combo ranking in the 2856th position out of 3700 tested combinations for this specific title. This places the pairing in the lower-middle segment of the database's recorded results for Evolve, though the actual frame rates at common gaming resolutions tell a more nuanced story about its suitability for this FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the measured average frame rates show a wide spread across the four presets. The Low preset produces an average of 145.7 FPS, which is the highest recorded value for this combination at any resolution or setting. The Medium preset drops to 114.7 FPS, while the High preset yields 90.4 FPS. The Ultra preset, which is the most demanding setting at this resolution, still manages to hold an average of 61.5 FPS. This means the Ultra preset sits just above the 60 FPS playability threshold, with only 1.5 FPS of headroom. The progression from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a reduction of roughly 58 percent in average frame rate when moving from the least to the most demanding preset.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern of decreasing average frame rates appears, but the absolute numbers are lower across the board. The Low preset records an average of 100.5 FPS, which is still far above the playability threshold. The Medium preset averages 74.3 FPS, and the High preset averages 61.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p falls to 44.1 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold by a significant margin. The data indicates that at 1440p, the High preset is the most demanding setting that still clears the playable mark, with an average of 61.9 FPS. The transition from 1080p to 1440p at the same preset shows a measurable performance cost, with the High preset dropping from 90.4 FPS to 61.9 FPS, a reduction of approximately 28.5 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the results are consistently below the 60 FPS threshold regardless of the preset selected. The Low preset averages 53.6 FPS, which is the highest recorded value at this resolution. The Medium preset averages 45.5 FPS, the High preset averages 33.1 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages only 22.8 FPS. None of these values approach the playable threshold, and the gap between the Low and Ultra presets at 4K is nearly 31 FPS. The data shows that 4K is not a viable resolution for this combination in Evolve, as every preset fails to reach 60 FPS. The recorded minimum and maximum frame rates are not available in the database, so the analysis relies solely on the average values, which already indicate a clear performance ceiling at this resolution.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank of 2856 out of 3700 tested combinations places this CPU and GPU pairing in a specific position within the database's results for Evolve. This rank indicates that roughly 77 percent of the tested combinations delivered better performance in this game, while about 23 percent performed worse. The ranking reflects the overall capability of the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 2060 together, but the measured frame rates at 1080p and 1440p show that the combo still meets the playability threshold at those resolutions. The rank is a global measure across all tested settings and resolutions, so it does not directly translate to any single preset outcome.

The CPU itself holds a percentile rank of 74 against all tested CPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms 74 percent of CPUs in the benchmark suite. Its average benchmark score is 20468, which places it very close to its nearest rivals in the database. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V has an average score of 20454, a delta of only 0.1 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425, a 0.2 percent difference, and the AMD EPYC 9454P scores 20422, also a 0.2 percent difference. The AMD EPYC 7713 scores 20363, a 0.5 percent difference. These rivals are within half a percent of the Ryzen 5 5600, suggesting that in synthetic CPU workloads, these processors behave nearly identically, though their real-world gaming performance can still vary based on other factors.

The GPU has a percentile rank of 58 against all tested GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 15290. Its nearest rivals are extremely close in score. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 scores 15283, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, a 0.1 percent difference. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, a 0.6 percent difference, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 15171, a 0.8 percent difference. The tight clustering of these GPU scores means that in Evolve, swapping the RTX 2060 for any of these alternatives would likely produce very similar frame rates, assuming the rest of the system remains constant. The combo rank of 2856 is the result of this CPU and GPU working together, and it reflects the aggregate performance across the entire benchmark suite for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are all within a very small margin of the Ryzen 5 5600. The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V has an average score of 20454, a 0.1 percent difference. The AMD Ryzen 5 8500G scores 20425, a 0.2 percent difference. The AMD EPYC 9454P and AMD EPYC 7713 score 20422 and 20363 respectively, with differences of 0.2 and 0.5 percent. In synthetic workloads, any of these processors would deliver nearly identical results to the Ryzen 5 5600, though the gaming performance in Evolve would depend on how each handles the specific workload of this title. The database does not provide game-specific CPU benchmarks for these rivals, so the comparison is limited to the synthetic scores.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are similarly close. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 has an average score of 15283, a 0 percent difference from the RTX 2060. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, a 0.1 percent difference. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, a 0.6 percent difference, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 15171, a 0.8 percent difference. In Evolve, a system built with any of these GPUs alongside a comparable CPU would be expected to produce frame rates very close to those recorded for the RTX 2060. The 0.8 percent gap between the RTX 2060 and the RX 7600 is small enough that the difference in average FPS would likely be less than one frame in most scenarios. The GTX 580, despite being an older architecture, scores essentially identically to the RTX 2060 in the database's benchmark, which suggests a similar level of performance in this game.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling of frame rates across resolutions and presets reveals how the workload is distributed between the CPU and GPU in Evolve. At 1920x1080, the CPU has more headroom, and the GPU becomes the primary limiter as the preset increases. The Low preset averages 145.7 FPS, which suggests the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU at a high rate. The Ultra preset drops to 61.5 FPS, a reduction of 84.2 FPS, indicating that the GPU is heavily taxed by the higher graphical settings. The CPU's single-thread and multi-thread scores in the database, such as 2584 in Cinebench R23 single-core and 18309 in multi-core, are sufficient to avoid becoming a bottleneck at 1080p, where the GPU is clearly the limiting factor at higher presets.

At 2560x1440, the GPU load increases further, and the frame rates drop accordingly. The Low preset averages 100.5 FPS, down from 145.7 FPS at 1080p, which shows the impact of the additional pixels on the GPU. The High preset averages 61.9 FPS, and the Ultra preset falls to 44.1 FPS. The CPU continues to provide adequate performance, as the GPU remains the dominant constraint. The difference between the Low and Ultra presets at 1440p is 56.4 FPS, which is smaller than the 84.2 FPS difference at 1080p, but still substantial. This indicates that the GPU is being pushed closer to its limits at the higher resolution, while the CPU's role stays relatively constant.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is fully saturated, and the frame rates are low across all presets. The Low preset averages 53.6 FPS, and the Ultra preset averages 22.8 FPS. The gap between the Low and Ultra presets at 4K is 30.8 FPS, which is the smallest difference among the three resolutions. This narrowing suggests that at 4K, even the Low preset is demanding enough to keep the GPU near its maximum capacity, and the CPU has little influence on the final frame rate. The data shows that the GPU is the primary performance driver in Evolve at every resolution, with the CPU's impact diminishing as the resolution increases. The recorded scaling from 1080p to 4K at the same preset highlights this, as the High preset drops from 90.4 FPS at 1080p to 61.9 FPS at 1440p and then to 33.1 FPS at 4K.

The Verdict

The verdict from the database is clear for this combination. At 1920x1080, all four presets are playable, with the Ultra preset averaging 61.5 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. The best settings at this resolution are Ultra, and the measured average at that setting is 61.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, three presets are playable: High, Low, and Medium. The High preset is the most demanding playable option, with an average of 61.9 FPS. The Ultra preset at 1440p is not playable, as it averages 44.1 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset is playable according to the database's threshold. The playable settings list is empty for this resolution, and the best settings field is null, meaning there is no configuration that reaches 60 FPS. The highest average at 4K is 53.6 FPS on the Low preset, which still falls short.

This system can run Evolve at 1080p with maximum settings and at 1440p with high settings, delivering average frame rates just above 60 FPS in both cases. For users who prioritize higher resolutions, the 4K results are not sufficient for smooth gameplay. The measured data indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 2060 combination is a capable pairing for this game at mainstream resolutions, but it does not have the graphical horsepower to handle 4K in Evolve.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average frame rate of 61.5 FPS. This is the highest quality setting available, and it provides a comfortable margin above the playability threshold. At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, with an average of 61.9 FPS. The High preset delivers a similar frame rate to the 1080p Ultra result, but at a higher resolution, making it the optimal choice for 1440p displays. At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset, as even the Low setting averages only 53.6 FPS. The database lists no best settings for this resolution, confirming that 4K is outside the capability of this hardware in Evolve. For users with a 4K monitor, the measured data suggests that lowering the resolution to 1440p or 1080p is necessary to achieve a playable frame rate.
