Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 combination delivers a solid, if uneven, experience in Evolve, a 2015 FPS. Benchmark data shows the pairing is fully capable of smooth gameplay at standard resolutions, but 4K remains out of reach. The measured results provide a clear picture of what this hardware can achieve across different settings and resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination in Evolve shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the combo is highly capable, with average frame rates well above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Low preset delivers an average of 133 FPS, while the Medium preset reaches 101 FPS on average with a minimum of 86 FPS and a maximum of 116 FPS. High settings produce 96 FPS on average, and even the demanding Ultra preset maintains an average of 61 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, performance remains respectable but requires more careful settings selection. The Low preset achieves 84 FPS on average. High settings hit exactly 60 FPS on average, making it the most demanding playable option at this resolution. The Medium preset averages 64 FPS, with a minimum of 54 FPS and a maximum of 73 FPS, indicating some frame drops below the 60 FPS line during intense scenes. Ultra settings, however, fall to 39 FPS on average, clearly unplayable.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles significantly. The Low preset manages only 44 FPS on average. Medium settings drop to 33 FPS, with a minimum of 28 FPS and a maximum of 38 FPS. High settings average 32 FPS, and Ultra falls to 20 FPS. None of these averages come close to the 60 FPS threshold, confirming that 4K gaming is not viable with this hardware in Evolve.

The data reveals a steep performance cliff between 1440p and 4K. The 1440p High result of 60 FPS drops to 32 FPS at 4K High, a substantial reduction that suggests the GPU is hitting a memory bandwidth or pixel throughput ceiling. The RTX 4060's 128-bit memory bus and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth appear insufficient for 4K in this title, even with the CPU's Zen 3 architecture providing solid IPC.

FAQ

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

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 1080p Ultra is 61, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the most demanding preset that remains playable at this resolution.

Q: What is the best playable settings preset at 2560x1440?

A: High settings, which average exactly 60 FPS. The Medium preset averages 64 FPS but has a minimum of 54 FPS, meaning it can dip below the playable threshold during demanding moments. Low settings achieve 84 FPS.

Q: Is 4K resolution playable with this hardware?

A: No. The highest average FPS at 3840x2160 is 44 FPS on Low settings. Medium averages 33 FPS, High averages 32 FPS, and Ultra averages 20 FPS. None of these approach the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: How does this combo rank among all tested configurations for Evolve?

A: The combination ranks 3037 out of 3700 tested combos for this game. This places it in the lower portion of the overall distribution, though it still handles 1080p and 1440p well.

Q: What is the launch MSRP of these components?

A: The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G had a launch MSRP of $259, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 had a launch MSRP of 299 USD.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU in this game?

A: The data does not indicate a CPU bottleneck at playable settings. The Ryzen 5 5600G's multi-threaded benchmark scores, such as 10551 in Cinebench R23 multi-core, are adequate for this 2015 title. The GPU's performance limits are the primary constraint, especially at 4K.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo holds rank 3037 out of 3700 tested combinations for Evolve. This percentile position, roughly the 18th percentile from the top, reflects a configuration that is competent but not exceptional for this specific game. The ranking suggests that many other hardware pairings deliver higher frame rates, particularly at higher resolutions.

The CPU's percentileVsAllCpus of 74 indicates it outperforms most processors in general benchmarks, while the GPU's percentileVsAllGpus of 61 shows it is above average but not top-tier. The discrepancy between these percentiles helps explain the performance profile: the CPU is capable, but the GPU limits 4K performance. In a 2015 title like Evolve, the RTX 4060's modern architecture and 8 GB of GDDR6 memory are sufficient for 1080p and 1440p, but the 4K results fall short of playability.

The ranking of 3037 out of 3700 also implies that users seeking higher frame rates at 1440p or 4K would need to look at more powerful GPUs. The 5600G's integrated Radeon Vega 7 graphics are not relevant here since the system uses the discrete RTX 4060, but the CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads provide enough processing power for the game's FPS mechanics.

The Verdict

This PC can run Evolve at 1920x1080 with all tested presets achieving at least 61 FPS on average. The Ultra preset at 1080p is playable, averaging 61 FPS, making it the recommended configuration for that resolution. At 2560x1440, the system achieves playability on High, Low, and Medium settings, with High being the best playable preset at exactly 60 FPS. The Medium preset's minimum of 54 FPS suggests occasional dips below the threshold, so High is the safer choice for consistent performance.

The system cannot run Evolve at 3840x2160 with any settings preset. The closest result is Low settings at 44 FPS, well below the 60 FPS threshold. The verdictByResolution data confirms no playable settings at 4K. For users with 4K displays, this hardware is not suitable for Evolve. For 1080p and 1440p monitors, however, the system provides a smooth experience at appropriately chosen presets.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, based on average benchmark scores, include the Intel Core i3-1220P with an avgScore of 21066 and a deltaPct of 0.1, meaning it performs nearly identically. The Intel Core Ultra 7 256V scores 21112, a delta of -0.1 from the 5600G. The AMD Ryzen 5 7530U scores 21133, a delta of -0.2, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 155U scores 21174, a delta of -0.4. These processors would deliver very similar CPU-bound performance in Evolve, with differences of less than half a percent in aggregate benchmarks.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals to the RTX 4060 are the AMD Radeon HD 7790 with an avgScore of 17666 and a deltaPct of -0.2, the AMD Radeon 780M with a score of 17588 and a delta of 0.3, the AMD Radeon Pro 560 with a score of 17551 and a delta of 0.5, and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 with a score of 17509 and a delta of 0.7. These alternatives would produce frame rates within a very narrow margin of the RTX 4060 in Evolve. The Radeon 780M, being an integrated solution, is notable as a close competitor, though it would still be paired with a separate GPU in this context.

Users considering alternative hardware should note that all of these rivals have aggregate scores within 1 percent of the components in question. The practical FPS differences in Evolve would be minimal, likely single-digit percentage points, meaning any of these combinations would offer similar playability characteristics at 1080p and 1440p.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 61 FPS. This provides the best visual quality while remaining playable. The High preset at 96 FPS and Medium at 101 FPS also offer excellent performance for users who prefer higher frame rates over maximum visual fidelity.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is High, averaging exactly 60 FPS. This is the recommended setting for 1440p, as it balances visual quality with consistent performance. The Medium preset averages 64 FPS but has a minimum of 54 FPS, which could cause noticeable stutters. Low settings at 84 FPS are available for users prioritizing frame rate.

At 3840x2160, there is no playable preset. The best average FPS is 44 on Low settings, which does not meet the 60 FPS threshold. Users with 4K displays should either lower their expectations, reduce resolution to 1440p, or consider more powerful hardware. The data clearly shows this combination is not suitable for 4K gaming in Evolve.
