Evolve

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination of AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and Intel Arc B370 shows a clear performance ceiling across all three tested resolutions. At 3840x2160, the highest average frame rate achieved is 31 FPS on Low settings, with Medium producing 24 FPS (min 20, max 27), High dropping to 19 FPS, and Ultra falling to 13 FPS. No 4K preset comes close to the 60 FPS playable threshold, and even the best case, Low at 31 FPS, represents less than half of that target.

Stepping down to 2560x1440 improves results but still leaves the combination below playable levels. Low settings produce an average of 54 FPS, which is the strongest result at this resolution. Medium follows at 42 FPS (min 35, max 48), High at 33 FPS, and Ultra at 23 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 12 FPS, while the jump from High to Ultra is only 10 FPS, indicating that the most demanding preset carries a heavy cost relative to the modest gains in visual fidelity.

At 1920x1080, the combination finally crosses the 60 FPS line. Low settings deliver 80 FPS average, and Medium achieves 62 FPS (min 53, max 72). High drops to 49 FPS, and Ultra falls to 34 FPS. The Medium preset is the only one with recorded minimum and maximum values, showing a spread of 19 FPS between the lowest and highest frames. This variance suggests some scene-dependent instability, but the average remains above the playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 3414 out of 3700 tested configurations for Evolve, putting it in the bottom 8 percent of all recorded combos. This is a low standing, driven primarily by the graphics solution rather than the processor. The CPU sits at the 74th percentile among all tested processors, with an average benchmark score of 20733. The GPU, however, sits at only the 5th percentile among all tested GPUs, with an average score of 1184.

That imbalance is the defining characteristic of this pairing. The Ryzen 5 5600GT is a capable mid-range processor, but the Arc B370 is an integrated graphics solution with a 25 W TDP and system-shared memory. In a game like Evolve, which relies heavily on sustained GPU throughput, the processor's relative strength cannot compensate for the graphics bottleneck. The rank of 3414 reflects this lopsided configuration, and the measured FPS data confirms that the GPU is the limiting factor at every resolution and preset.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The best recorded average is 31 FPS on Low, but the database does not classify any 4K setting as playable. The verdict list for this resolution is empty, meaning no configuration clears the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the same situation applies. No preset reaches 60 FPS. The closest is Low at 54 FPS, a 6 FPS shortfall. Medium at 42 FPS, High at 33 FPS, and Ultra at 23 FPS all fall further behind. The verdict list for 1440p is also empty.

At 1920x1080, two presets clear the threshold: Low at 80 FPS and Medium at 62 FPS. The database designates Medium as the best playable setting, since it provides the highest visual quality while still maintaining an average above 60 FPS. High at 49 FPS and Ultra at 34 FPS do not qualify. For users prioritizing frame rate above all, Low offers a substantial margin of 20 FPS over Medium, but Medium remains the recommended choice for the best balance of quality and performance.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 5 5600GT, based on average benchmark scores, are all within a narrow band. The Intel Core i5-12490F scores 20802, a 0.3 percent difference from the 5600GT's 20733. The Intel Xeon 6325P scores 20821, a 0.4 percent difference. The Intel Core Ultra 5 125U scores 20826, also a 0.4 percent difference, and the AMD EPYC 7J13 scores 20845, a 0.5 percent difference. Any of these processors would behave nearly identically to the 5600GT in Evolve, since the delta is under one percent in every case. The choice among them would not meaningfully alter the FPS results recorded here.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals are older discrete parts with similar average scores. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, a 0.2 percent difference. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, a 0.5 percent difference. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, a 0.7 percent difference. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, a 1.4 percent difference in the other direction. These are all legacy parts from a different era, which underscores how far behind the Arc B370 sits in the current GPU landscape. A system with any of these GPUs paired with a similar CPU would produce FPS numbers very close to those recorded for this combination, since the GPU scores are effectively indistinguishable.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows a clear division of labor in this combination. The Ryzen 5 5600GT, with 6 cores, 12 threads, and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, is more than adequate for Evolve's CPU demands. The processor's benchmark scores, particularly the Cinebench R23 multicore result of 17272 and single-core result of 2438, indicate strong general-purpose performance. The GPU, however, is the bottleneck.

Evidence for this comes from the scaling between resolutions. When moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on Low settings, the average FPS drops from 80 to 54, a 32.5 percent reduction. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 on Low drops the average from 54 to 31, a 42.6 percent reduction. These are large penalties that track directly with pixel count, which is the signature of a GPU-limited workload. A CPU-limited scenario would show much smaller FPS differences across resolutions, since the processor's workload does not scale with pixel count.

The preset scaling tells the same story. At 1920x1080, the difference between Low and Ultra is 46 FPS (80 down to 34). At 2560x1440, the same preset range spans 31 FPS (54 down to 23). At 3840x2160, it spans 18 FPS (31 down to 13). The absolute values shrink as resolution rises because the GPU is already saturated, but the pattern is consistent: raising graphics settings costs significant frame rate at every resolution, which points to GPU-bound rendering.

The CPU's role is to feed the GPU with draw calls and game logic, and the 5600GT does so without becoming a limiting factor. The processor's 74th percentile standing among all CPUs, combined with the GPU's 5th percentile standing, makes the imbalance stark. In Evolve, users should treat this as a GPU-limited system and adjust settings accordingly. Upgrading the processor alone would yield negligible gains, while a stronger graphics solution would unlock substantially higher frame rates at all resolutions.

The Verdict

This PC can run Evolve, but only at 1920x1080 and only on Low or Medium settings. The database classifies 1080p Low at 80 FPS and 1080p Medium at 62 FPS as playable. The best playable setting is Medium, with an average of 62 FPS and a recorded range of 53 to 72 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the combination falls short. The best result is 54 FPS on Low, which misses the 60 FPS threshold by a small margin. No 1440p preset is playable. At 3840x2160, the situation is worse, with the best result being 31 FPS on Low and no preset reaching playable levels.

For users with a 1080p display, this combination is usable, provided they stay on Medium or lower. The 20 FPS margin on Low offers headroom for demanding scenes, while Medium provides a more balanced experience at the cost of some stability, as the minimum frame rate of 53 FPS approaches the threshold. For 1440p or 4K displays, the verdict is clear: this system will not deliver a playable experience in Evolve at any setting. The GPU, despite its modern architecture and DirectX 12 Ultimate support, simply does not have the raw throughput needed for this game at higher resolutions.
