CPU and GPU Roles

The division of labor between the Ryzen 5 5600G and the RTX 5090 shifts noticeably as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the CPU's role is more prominent due to the lower rendering load on the GPU. The frame rate scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is relatively modest: 277.8 FPS at Low, 254.1 FPS at Medium, 230.1 FPS at High, and 164.6 FPS at Ultra. The drop from High to Ultra is 65.5 FPS, representing the largest single-step decline, which suggests the Ultra preset introduces effects that strain the CPU's 6-core, 12-thread configuration more heavily. The 5600G's passmark_multithread score of 19717 and cinebench_r23_multicore score of 10551 are adequate, but the 1080p results indicate that the processor is the limiting factor at the highest settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU begins to take on more responsibility. The average FPS at Low is 240.3, falling to 197.7 at Medium, 155.5 at High, and 106 at Ultra. The performance gap between Low and Ultra is 134.3 FPS, a larger absolute spread than at 1080p, which indicates the RTX 5090's rendering capacity is being exercised more thoroughly. The CPU still matters, but the 5600G's 16 MB L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth are sufficient to keep the GPU fed at this resolution. The scaling from High to Ultra at 1440p is 49.5 FPS, a smaller drop than at 1080p, suggesting the GPU is becoming the dominant factor.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 5090 clearly dominates the workload. The frame rates compress dramatically: 146.3 FPS at Low, 113.1 FPS at Medium, 87.2 FPS at High, and 63 FPS at Ultra. The 4K Ultra result is the only configuration across all resolutions and settings that dips below 100 FPS, and it still clears the 60 FPS threshold. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is 83.3 FPS, and the CPU's influence is minimal here — the 5600G's single-thread score of 3177 in passmark and 1409 in cinebench_r23 is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU at these high resolutions. The data indicates that the RTX 5090 is the primary determinant of performance at 4K, while the CPU matters most at 1080p Ultra.

The Verdict

At 2560x1440, the same four settings are playable, and Ultra delivers 106 FPS average. At 1920x1080, all settings are playable, with Ultra reaching 164.6 FPS average. The strongest result is at 1080p Low at 277.8 FPS, while the weakest is 4K Ultra at 63 FPS. In every case, the system exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, making this a fully capable configuration for Evolve regardless of the user's display resolution or quality preferences.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions and four settings presets, with average FPS values for each combination. At 3840x2160, the Low preset delivers 146.3 FPS average, Medium reaches 113.1 FPS, High achieves 87.2 FPS, and Ultra drops to 63 FPS. The progression from Low to Ultra at 4K shows a steady decline of roughly 30-40 FPS per step, with the largest single drop being 26.1 FPS from High to Ultra.

At 2560x1440, the Low preset hits 240.3 FPS average, Medium reaches 197.7 FPS, High achieves 155.5 FPS, and Ultra drops to 106 FPS. The scaling here is steeper than at 4K, with a 42.6 FPS drop from Low to Medium and a 49.5 FPS drop from High to Ultra. This resolution offers the best balance between visual fidelity and frame rate, with Ultra still more than 40 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold.

At 1920x1080, the Low preset produces 277.8 FPS average, Medium reaches 254.1 FPS, High achieves 230.1 FPS, and Ultra drops to 164.6 FPS. The relative consistency of the first three presets — a spread of only 47.7 FPS from Low to High — suggests that the CPU is the limiting factor at these lower settings, while the substantial 65.5 FPS drop to Ultra indicates a more demanding workload. No minFps or maxFps values are provided in the data, so the analysis relies solely on average FPS figures. Across all 12 tested configurations, the average FPS ranges from 63 at 4K Ultra to 277.8 at 1080p Low, with every single result exceeding the 60 FPS playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination ranks 161st out of 3700 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the top 4.4% of all systems benchmarked for this game. This rank reflects the raw performance of the RTX 5090, which sits at the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, paired with a CPU at the 74th percentile. The GPU's dominance in the ranking is expected given the game's age and the massive compute headroom of the 5090. The rank of 161 indicates that there are 160 other combinations that outperform this setup, likely featuring higher-tier CPUs such as Ryzen 7 or Core i7 parts paired with the same or similar GPUs. However, the practical impact of those higher ranks is minimal — this combo already delivers 63 FPS at 4K Ultra and 164.6 FPS at 1080p Ultra, so any improvement from a faster CPU would be marginal at best. The data confirms that this is a top-tier configuration for Evolve, with the RTX 5090 providing the bulk of the performance and the Ryzen 5 5600G offering sufficient support to avoid major bottlenecks.
