CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals how the CPU and GPU share the workload in Evolve. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 137 FPS on Low settings, but this drops to 83 FPS on High, a 39% reduction. The Ryzen 5 5600GT, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, provides sufficient headroom at this resolution to keep the Arc B570 fed, as the GPU becomes the primary bottleneck when settings increase. The CPU's single-thread score of 913 in 3DMark and its 74th percentile ranking support this, as the game's FPS logic benefits from strong per-core performance.

Moving to 2560x1440, the gap between Low and High narrows to 36 FPS (from 92 to 56), indicating that the GPU is now the dominant constraint. The Arc B570's 10 GB of GDDR6 memory and 380.0 GB/s bandwidth are tasked with rendering more pixels, and the frame rate scales accordingly. At 4K, this trend intensifies: the difference between Low (52 FPS) and High (32 FPS) is 20 FPS, and Ultra drops to 22 FPS. The GPU's FP32 throughput of 11.52 TFLOPS is insufficient for 4K Ultra, while the CPU's role diminishes as the resolution increases.

The preset scaling at each resolution further clarifies the division of labor. At 1080p, moving from Medium (106 FPS) to Ultra (58 FPS) costs 45% performance, which is a GPU-bound penalty. At 1440p, Medium (71 FPS) to Ultra (39 FPS) costs 45% as well, showing consistent GPU scaling. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17272 suggests it can handle the game's physics and AI workloads without becoming a limiting factor, even at lower resolutions where frame rates exceed 100 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system demonstrates a wide performance range across presets. Low settings produce an average of 137 FPS, which is the highest result recorded for this combination. Medium settings yield 106 FPS average, with a minimum of 90 FPS and a maximum of 122 FPS, indicating smooth performance. High settings drop to 83 FPS average, while Ultra falls to 58 FPS, just below the playable threshold. The 1080p results show that the system is well-suited for high-refresh-rate monitors at medium presets.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates scale down predictably. Low settings achieve 92 FPS average, providing a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. Medium settings deliver 71 FPS average, with a minimum of 60 FPS and a maximum of 82 FPS, making it the recommended preset for this resolution. High settings produce 56 FPS average, which is below the playable threshold, and Ultra drops to 39 FPS. The 1440p data shows that the system can handle competitive play at medium settings without frame drops.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playability. Low settings yield 52 FPS average, which is 8 FPS below the 60 FPS target. Medium settings produce 40 FPS average, with a minimum of 34 FPS and a maximum of 47 FPS, indicating inconsistent frame delivery. High settings drop to 32 FPS, and Ultra falls to 22 FPS. None of the 4K presets meet the 60 FPS threshold, making this resolution unsuitable for smooth gameplay.

The Verdict

The data clearly shows that this PC can run Evolve at 1080p and 1440p, but not at 4K. At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on Low (137 FPS), Medium (106 FPS), and High (83 FPS) presets. The best playable setting at this resolution is High, which delivers 83 FPS average, providing both visual quality and performance headroom. At 2560x1440, the playable settings are Low (92 FPS) and Medium (71 FPS), with Medium being the best option as it maintains a 60 FPS minimum. At 3840x2160, the verdict is negative: no preset achieves 60 FPS, with the closest being Low at 52 FPS.
