Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER pairing delivers a clear performance profile in Evolve, a 2015 FPS title. The recorded data shows that this combination is capable of strong frame rates at mainstream resolutions, but it hits a definitive ceiling at 4K. The benchmark results indicate that the CPU, a Zen 3 part with six cores and twelve threads, is not the limiting factor in most scenarios, while the GPU, based on the Turing architecture, dictates the performance envelope at higher graphical presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the AMD Ryzen 5 5600F in the 85th percentile of all tested CPUs, indicating strong overall processing power. Its nearest rivals in the database are separated by margins of less than one percent. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 scores nearly identically with an average of 36938, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500X3D is a hair behind at 37018, representing a -0.2 percent difference. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 450 and Intel Core i9-12900T round out the immediate competition with average scores of 37093 and 37112, reflecting -0.4 percent and -0.5 percent deltas respectively. For gaming purposes, this CPU is effectively interchangeable with those parts, so users upgrading from any of these processors should expect no measurable change in Evolve's performance.

On the graphics side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs, a solidly mid-to-upper tier position. Its closest rivals in the database are all within 1.5 percent of its average benchmark score of 20282. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M trails by 1 percent with a score of 20480, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is 1.2 percent behind at 20534. The Intel Arc B570 and Intel Arc A750 are also close, scoring 20556 and 20582, which translates to -1.3 percent and -1.5 percent deltas. In real-world terms, these GPUs will deliver nearly identical performance in Evolve, meaning users with an Arc A750 or a mobile RTX 3070 should see similar frame rates when paired with an equivalent processor.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data makes it clear that the GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER is the primary driver of performance in Evolve, especially as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the GPU is still the main constraint, but the CPU has enough headroom to keep frame rates high across all presets. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a drop from 177 FPS to 74 FPS, a reduction of 103 FPS, which is a direct reflection of the GPU's workload increasing with graphical complexity. The CPU's Passmark single-thread score of 2872 and multithread score of 19236 suggest it can feed the GPU effectively even at lower resolutions where draw calls are more frequent.

At 2560x1440, the GPU's role becomes more pronounced. The average frame rate at High settings is 72 FPS, which is 35 FPS lower than the same preset at 1080p. This 33 percent reduction in performance highlights how much the GPU is struggling with the additional pixel count. The CPU's influence is still present, but the scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the bottleneck. At 3840x2160, the GPU is overwhelmingly the limiting factor. The High preset drops to 41 FPS, and even the Low preset only manages 67 FPS, showing that the 4K resolution demands far more from the graphics card than the processor can compensate for. The data indicates that the Ryzen 5 5600F is sufficient for this game at every resolution tested, while the RTX 2070 SUPER determines whether playable frame rates are achieved.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the recorded data shows a wide range of performance depending on the preset. The Low preset delivers an average of 177 FPS, which is exceptionally high and indicates the game is heavily GPU-bound at this resolution. The Medium preset averages 137 FPS, with a minimum of 116 FPS and a maximum of 157 FPS. High settings produce an average of 107 FPS, while the Ultra preset, which is the most demanding, still manages an average of 74 FPS. All four presets at 1080p clear the 60 FPS playable threshold with substantial margin.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop noticeably. Low settings still produce an impressive 118 FPS average, making it the best-performing preset at this resolution. Medium averages 92 FPS, with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS. High settings average 72 FPS, which remains comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset, however, falls to an average of 50 FPS, which is below the playable threshold and indicates that users should avoid this setting at 1440p.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2070 SUPER shows its limits. The Low preset averages 67 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold and makes it the only playable option at 4K. Medium settings average 52 FPS, with a minimum of 44 FPS and a maximum of 60 FPS, showing that even the average dips below playable levels. High settings drop to 41 FPS, and Ultra falls to 28 FPS. These results show that 4K gaming with this combo requires significant compromises, and only the lowest preset delivers a playable experience.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination as 2151 out of 3700 tested combos for Evolve. This places it in the lower half of all tested systems, which might seem surprising given the strong individual component scores. However, this ranking reflects the fact that the RTX 2070 SUPER, while capable, is not a top-tier GPU in the current database. The combo's percentile position suggests that many other combinations, particularly those with newer or higher-end graphics cards, will outperform it. The CPU's 85th percentile ranking is offset by the GPU's 65th percentile, and the overall system performance in Evolve is constrained by the GPU. Users should interpret this ranking as an indication that this system is competent for the game but not exceptional when compared to the full spectrum of hardware tested.

The Verdict

The question of whether this PC can run Evolve has a nuanced answer depending on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the answer is a definitive yes. The verdict data shows that all four presets, Low, Medium, High, and Ultra, are playable, with the Ultra preset delivering an average of 74 FPS. This makes 1080p the ideal resolution for this combo, as users can max out the settings and still maintain frame rates above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system remains capable, but with caveats. The playable settings are High, Medium, and Low, with High delivering an average of 72 FPS. The Ultra preset falls to 50 FPS, which is below the acceptable threshold. Users at 1440p should stick to High settings or lower to ensure a smooth experience.

At 3840x2160, the system is barely playable. The only preset that clears 60 FPS is Low, which averages 67 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the threshold, with averages of 52, 41, and 28 FPS respectively. Users who want to play at 4K will need to accept the Low preset or consider lowering the resolution. Overall, the data shows that this combo is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming, with 4K being a stretch goal that requires significant graphical sacrifices.
