Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination delivers a wide range of performance across Evolve’s presets. At 1080p, the data shows average frame rates from 264 FPS on Low to 109.9 FPS on Ultra, indicating a system that is heavily GPU-bound at lower settings but still maintains excellent headroom at maximum detail. Moving to 1440p, the Ultra preset still produces 72.7 FPS, while 4K Ultra dips to 44.9 FPS, revealing the expected scaling penalties as resolution increases.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each sit near specific rivals according to aggregate benchmark scores. The Ryzen 5 5600GT has an average benchmark score of 20733 and ranks in the 74th percentile among all CPUs. Its nearest rival is the Intel Core i5-12490F, which scores 20802, a mere 0.3% delta. The Intel Xeon 6325P (20821, -0.4%) and Intel Core Ultra 5 125U (20826, -0.4%) are effectively identical in synthetic performance. The AMD EPYC 7J13 (20845, -0.5%) rounds out the group, meaning any of these processors would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve, assuming the GPU remains the limiting factor.

For the GPU, the RTX 4070 achieves an average benchmark score of 37648 and sits in the 81st percentile of all GPUs. The nearest competitor is the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628, +0.1%), which is a datacenter-oriented card but scores almost identically in synthetic tests. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (37507, +0.4%) and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (37157, +1.3%) also fall within 1.3% of the RTX 4070’s average score. Interestingly, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (38135, -1.3%) is slightly ahead, suggesting that a laptop variant of a higher-tier card could match desktop RTX 4070 performance in this title. In practice, any of these GPU alternatives would deliver comparable FPS in Evolve, though driver optimizations and thermal behavior could cause minor deviations.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Evolve at 4K with playable frame rates?

A: Yes, but not on the highest preset. At 3840x2160, the High preset averages 61.4 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. Medium produces 76.6 FPS, and Low reaches 99 FPS. Ultra drops to 44.9 FPS, falling below playable.

Q: What is the best preset at 1440p for this system?

A: The Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 72.7 FPS. This is above the 60 FPS threshold, and all four presets (Low 174.6, Medium 138.8, High 109.8) are playable at this resolution.

Q: How does the RTX 4070 compare to its closest GPU rival in synthetic benchmarks?

A: The RTX 4070 scores 37648 on average, while the NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 37628, a 0.1% difference. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 is 0.4% slower, scoring 37507. The RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% faster, scoring 38135.

Q: Is the Ryzen 5 5600GT a bottleneck at 1080p Low settings?

A: The data suggests the CPU keeps up with the GPU. At 1920x1080 Low, the combo produces 264 FPS average. The CPU’s 3DMark single-thread score is 913 and its multi-thread score is 5554, which are sufficient to feed the GPU at this frame rate.

Q: What is the combo’s overall ranking among tested systems?

A: The combo ranks 829 out of 3700 tested systems in Evolve, placing it in the top 22.4% of all configurations. This indicates solid performance relative to the broader benchmark database.

Q: Does the RTX 4070 support modern graphics APIs needed for Evolve?

A: Yes, the GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. This ensures compatibility with Evolve’s rendering requirements, which launched in 2015 and relies on DirectX 11 or 12 features.

How This Combo Ranks

In the benchmark database, this Ryzen 5 5600GT + RTX 4070 configuration ranks 829th out of 3700 tested combos for Evolve. That places it in the 77.6th percentile of all systems measured, meaning roughly 22% of tested configurations perform better. The ranking reflects a balance between the CPU’s 74th percentile standing and the GPU’s 81st percentile, with the GPU contributing more to the final result. The 2871 combos ranked below this one would likely struggle to maintain 60 FPS at 1440p Ultra, while the 828 above it may offer higher headroom at 4K. This rank suggests a high-end pairing that excels at mainstream resolutions but is not top-tier for 4K Extreme settings.

The Verdict

The data shows this PC can run Evolve successfully at all three tested resolutions, provided the right settings are chosen. At 3840x2160, the playable presets are High (61.4 FPS), Medium (76.6 FPS), and Low (99 FPS), with High being the best visual quality that clears 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, with Ultra averaging 72.7 FPS. At 1920x1080, the system achieves 109.9 FPS on Ultra, making it fully playable at maximum settings. The verdict is clear: this combo delivers a 60+ FPS experience at 1080p and 1440p with maxed-out settings, while 4K users must settle for High (not Ultra) to maintain smooth gameplay.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured data provides average FPS for each resolution and setting combination, though minimum and maximum values are not available in the fact pack. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are: Low 264, Medium 205.6, High 159.2, and Ultra 109.9. Stepping up to 2560x1440, the numbers drop to: Low 174.6, Medium 138.8, High 109.8, and Ultra 72.7. At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low 99, Medium 76.6, High 61.4, and Ultra 44.9. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p shows roughly a 34% reduction in FPS across presets, while 1440p to 4K causes a further 43% drop. The Ultra preset shows the steepest degradation, falling from 109.9 to 72.7 to 44.9 as resolution increases.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS average is as follows. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 109.9 FPS, which is far above the threshold, so it is the recommended choice. At 2560x1440, Ultra also remains playable at 72.7 FPS, making it the best visual option. At 3840x2160, the High preset is the highest playable setting, producing 61.4 FPS on average. The Medium preset at 4K offers 76.6 FPS, but High provides superior image quality while still clearing the 60 FPS bar. Notably, the 4K Ultra preset fails to meet the threshold at 44.9 FPS, so it should be avoided.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals which component dominates in Evolve. At 1920x1080, the gap between Low (264 FPS) and Ultra (109.9 FPS) suggests the GPU is the primary constraint, as the CPU can push frame rates well beyond 200 FPS at lower settings. The Ryzen 5 5600GT’s 12 threads and 3.6 GHz base clock are sufficient to avoid bottlenecking at these high rates. When resolution increases to 2560x1440, the Ultra preset drops to 72.7 FPS, a 34% reduction from 1080p, which is consistent with the GPU’s pixel throughput limits rather than CPU limitations.

At 3840x2160, the Ultra preset falls to 44.9 FPS, and even High only reaches 61.4 FPS. This indicates the RTX 4070’s 12 GB GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth become the limiting factor. The CPU’s influence diminishes at higher resolutions because the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth are stretched thinner. The data shows that at 1080p, the system is partially CPU-bound at Low settings (264 FPS), but at 4K, the GPU is the sole bottleneck. The RTX 4070’s 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 performance and 158.4 GPixel/s pixel rate are enough for 1440p Ultra but not for 4K Ultra. The CPU’s benchmark scores, such as Cinebench R23 multi-core 17272 and single-core 2438, indicate it can handle the game’s physics and AI workloads without becoming a limiting factor until frame rates exceed 200 FPS.
