Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination sits in the lower half of the database's tested configurations for Evolve, ranking 2947th out of 3700 total combos. This places the pairing in the 21st percentile of all recorded system configurations, meaning roughly four out of five tested setups deliver higher average frame rates in this title. The ranking reflects the age of both components relative to the current hardware landscape, though the data confirms the combo remains functional for competitive play at specific settings.

Benchmark results show the system's performance is heavily dependent on resolution and preset selection. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves playable frame rates across all four tested presets, from 145.1 FPS on Low to 63.1 FPS on Ultra. Moving to 2560x1440, the configuration maintains playability on Low and Medium presets, with 98.5 FPS and 73.6 FPS respectively, but drops below the 60 FPS threshold on High and Ultra. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the playable threshold, with the best result being 58.4 FPS on Low settings.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo's rank of 2947 out of 3700 tested configurations places it in the bottom 20% of all recorded systems for Evolve. This is a modest result for a pairing that includes a six-core processor and a dedicated graphics card from the Turing generation. The percentile data reinforces this positioning: the CPU sits at the 74th percentile among all processors in the database, while the GPU falls to the 58th percentile among all graphics cards. The gap between these two percentiles suggests the graphics card is the more limiting factor for this game, a conclusion supported by the frame rate scaling across resolutions.

The average benchmark scores for the individual components tell a similar story. The Ryzen 5 5600G posts an average benchmark score of 21088, while the RTX 2060 achieves 15290. These scores, when compared against the full database, place the CPU in a stronger relative position than the GPU. For a game like Evolve, which is a first-person shooter with fast-paced action, the frame rate data shows that the GPU becomes the bottleneck as resolution increases, particularly at 4K where even Low settings fail to maintain 60 FPS.

When interpreting the rank, it is important to consider the context of the database. The 3700 tested combos include a wide range of hardware, from entry-level integrated graphics to flagship multi-GPU setups. A rank of 2947 means the system outperforms only about 750 other configurations, which places it in the lower segment of what the database considers playable. However, the measured frame rates demonstrate that this ranking does not tell the full story, as the system can still deliver smooth gameplay at 1080p with high visual quality.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its processing capability. The Intel Core i3-1220P scores 21066, just 0.1% below the Ryzen 5 5600G's 21088 average. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V scores 21112, 0.1% higher, while the AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, 0.2% higher. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155U completes the group with 21174, 0.4% above the 5600G. These four alternatives would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Evolve, with differences well within measurement variance.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals show a tighter cluster. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 matches the RTX 2060's average score of 15290 with a 0% delta. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, just 0.1% lower, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, 0.6% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 rounds out the group with 15171, 0.8% lower. These results indicate that the RTX 2060 performs nearly identically to a much older GTX 580 in synthetic benchmarks, though the RTX 2060's modern feature set and driver support would likely provide advantages in newer titles.

In practical terms for Evolve, gamers with any of these rival GPUs would experience similar frame rates at the same settings and resolution. The differences between the RTX 2060 and its nearest rivals are all below 1%, which is well within run-to-run variation. The same applies to the CPU alternatives: a system with an Intel Core i3-1220P or AMD Ryzen 5 7530U would produce nearly identical results in this game.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution increases. At 1920x1080, the CPU and GPU work in relative balance, with the system delivering 145.1 FPS on Low settings and 63.1 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p shows a 56.5% performance drop, indicating that both components contribute to the frame rate ceiling. The jump from Low to Medium at 1080p reduces performance by 23.3%, while the jump from Medium to High reduces it by 19.6%, and from High to Ultra by 29.5%. These consistent drops suggest neither component is fully saturated at any single preset.

At 2560x1440, the GPU becomes the dominant factor. The system delivers 98.5 FPS on Low and 73.6 FPS on Medium, but High drops to 58.6 FPS and Ultra to 40 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium at 1440p shows a 25.3% reduction, similar to the 1080p pattern. However, the drop from Medium to High is 20.4%, and from High to Ultra is 31.7%. The fact that High falls below the 60 FPS threshold while Medium stays above it indicates the GPU is running out of headroom as pixel count increases.

At 3840x2160, the GPU bottleneck is absolute. The best result is 58.4 FPS on Low, which just misses the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium drops to 42.1 FPS, High to 32.8 FPS, and Ultra to 24.2 FPS. The scaling from Low to Medium at 4K shows a 27.9% reduction, while the drop from High to Ultra is 26.2%. The CPU's role at 4K is minimal, as the GPU is clearly the limiting factor across all presets. The processor's 12 threads and 16 MB of L3 cache provide ample headroom for the game's logic, but the RTX 2060's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus cannot sustain high frame rates at this resolution.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows that this system can run Evolve, but the playable resolution and preset combinations are limited. At 1920x1080, the combo clears the 60 FPS threshold on all four presets: Low at 145.1 FPS, Medium at 111.3 FPS, High at 89.5 FPS, and Ultra at 63.1 FPS. This means 1080p gamers can play at Ultra settings with a comfortable margin above the 60 FPS target.

At 2560x1440, only two presets remain playable. Low settings deliver 98.5 FPS, while Medium delivers 73.6 FPS. Both exceed the 60 FPS threshold, but High drops to 58.6 FPS and Ultra falls to 40 FPS. Gamers with 1440p monitors should stick to Medium settings to maintain smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the system cannot reach 60 FPS on any preset. The closest result is 58.4 FPS on Low, which misses the threshold by 2.7%. The verdict is clear: this combo is not suitable for 4K gaming in Evolve. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 336.0 GB/s and 6 GB VRAM capacity are insufficient for the demands of 4K rendering in this title.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Ultra, which delivers 63.1 FPS. This provides the best visual quality while keeping a small margin above the playable threshold. Gamers seeking higher frame rates can step down to High for 89.5 FPS or Medium for 111.3 FPS, but Ultra is the recommended choice for maximum fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is Medium, achieving 73.6 FPS. This setting balances visual detail with performance, offering a 22.7% improvement over Low while staying comfortably above the 60 FPS mark. High settings at 58.6 FPS are not recommended, as they fall below the threshold.

At 3840x2160, no preset meets the 60 FPS requirement. The closest option is Low at 58.4 FPS, which misses the target by a narrow margin. Gamers with 4K displays should consider lowering the resolution to 1440p or accepting reduced visual quality, as even Low settings cannot sustain smooth frame rates at this resolution.
