Evolve

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Evolve with the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and AMD Radeon RX 580 shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. The database captures average, minimum, and maximum frame rates for four settings tiers at three resolutions.

At 3840x2160, the results are uniformly below playable thresholds. The Low preset delivers an average of 33 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. Medium drops to 25 FPS on average, with recorded minimum and maximum values of 22 FPS and 29 FPS respectively. High falls further to 20 FPS average, while Ultra bottoms out at 14 FPS average. None of these figures approach the 60 FPS playability threshold, and even the fastest preset leaves substantial headroom for optimization.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern persists but with higher absolute numbers. Low averages 57 FPS, which is just shy of the 60 FPS mark. Medium averages 44 FPS, with a minimum of 38 FPS and a maximum of 51 FPS. High averages 35 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. The data shows that even at this reduced resolution, the combination cannot sustain a consistent 60 FPS experience on any preset, though Low comes very close.

At 1920x1080, the results become more encouraging. Low averages 86 FPS, comfortably above the threshold. Medium averages 66 FPS, with a minimum of 56 FPS and a maximum of 76 FPS. High averages 52 FPS, while Ultra averages 36 FPS. The frame rate deltas between presets are substantial: moving from Low to Medium costs 20 FPS on average, while moving from Medium to High costs another 14 FPS. The step from High to Ultra costs 16 FPS, indicating that Ultra is particularly demanding relative to the hardware's capabilities.

The minimum frame rates recorded only for the Medium preset at each resolution reveal stability characteristics. At 3840x2160, the 22 FPS minimum is 88% of the 25 FPS average, indicating relatively consistent frame pacing. At 2560x1440, the 38 FPS minimum is 86% of the 44 FPS average. At 1920x1080, the 56 FPS minimum is 85% of the 66 FPS average. These ratios suggest that the combination does not experience severe frame time spikes, but the absolute values remain limiting.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this specific CPU-GPU pairing at rank 3375 out of 3700 tested combinations for Evolve. This puts the combo in the lower 9th percentile of all tested configurations, meaning it outperforms roughly 325 other combinations but trails the vast majority of the database's recorded systems.

This ranking aligns with the measured FPS data. The combination can clear 60 FPS only at 1920x1080 on Low and Medium presets. At every other resolution and settings combination, the recorded averages fall below the playability threshold. The rank reflects this constrained performance envelope.

For context, the CPU alone sits at the 83rd percentile among all processors in the database, while the GPU sits at the 53rd percentile among all graphics cards. The disparity between these two percentile figures suggests that the graphics card is the primary limiter in this pairing, a conclusion reinforced by the FPS scaling patterns across resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database lists nearest rivals for both components, allowing identification of hardware that would likely produce similar results in Evolve.

For the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F, the closest alternatives by average benchmark score are the Intel Core i5-14600T with a delta of 0.1%, the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with a delta of 0.2%, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H with a delta of -0.2%, and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 with a delta of 0.3%. These processors all fall within a narrow performance band around the 7400F's average score of 32750. A system built with any of these CPUs paired with the RX 580 would be expected to deliver frame rates very close to those recorded for this combo.

For the AMD Radeon RX 580, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile with a delta of -0.1%, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER with a delta of -0.4%, the AMD Radeon 740M with a delta of 0.5%, and the AMD FirePro W5100 with a delta of 0.6%. The GTX 1660 SUPER is a particularly relevant comparison, as its desktop-oriented design and similar aggregate score suggest it would produce nearly identical performance in Evolve. The RTX 3050 Ti Mobile being a laptop part means thermal and power constraints could alter real-world behavior, but its benchmark score indicates comparable raw throughput.

Users considering upgrades or replacements for either component can use these rival pairs as reference points. Swapping the CPU for any of the listed alternatives would likely maintain the same FPS levels, while swapping the GPU for the GTX 1660 SUPER would also keep performance within a narrow margin.

CPU and GPU Roles

The scaling behavior across resolutions and presets reveals which component dominates performance in Evolve with this pairing. The CPU, an AMD Ryzen 5 7400F with 6 cores and 12 threads, has a boost clock of 4.70 GHz and sits at the 83rd percentile among all CPUs. The GPU, an AMD Radeon RX 580 with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and 2304 shading units, sits at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs.

At 3840x2160, the average FPS ranges from 14 on Ultra to 33 on Low. This narrow range, a spread of 19 FPS across four presets, indicates that the GPU is heavily saturated at this resolution. The rendering workload at 4K exceeds what the RX 580 can process, and preset changes produce only modest gains because the GPU is already near its throughput ceiling.

At 2560x1440, the average FPS ranges from 24 on Ultra to 57 on Low. The spread widens to 33 FPS, showing that preset changes have more impact as the resolution reduces the pixel count. The GPU still limits performance, but the reduced workload allows settings adjustments to matter more.

At 1920x1080, the average FPS ranges from 36 on Ultra to 86 on Low. The spread expands to 50 FPS, and the CPU begins to show its capability. The Ryzen 5 7400F's strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its Cinebench R23 single-core score of 3072, allows the GPU to stretch further at lower resolutions. The 86 FPS Low result and 66 FPS Medium result both clear the playability threshold, demonstrating that the CPU can feed the GPU adequately at 1080p.

The resolution scaling tells a consistent story. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 reduces Low preset performance from 86 to 57 FPS, a drop of 34%. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 reduces Low from 57 to 33 FPS, a drop of 42%. This accelerating degradation with resolution is characteristic of a GPU-bound scenario, where the pixel workload outpaces the graphics card's fill rate and bandwidth capabilities.

Preset scaling reinforces this conclusion. At 1920x1080, the gap between Low and Ultra is 50 FPS, but at 3840x2160 that gap narrows to 19 FPS. When the GPU is overwhelmed, preset adjustments cannot recover lost performance because the bottleneck is fixed. When the GPU has headroom, preset choices produce meaningful frame rate differences.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database provides verdict data that identifies which settings maintain at least 60 FPS average at each resolution.

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold. The best recorded average is 33 FPS on Low, and the verdict confirms that no playable settings exist at this resolution. Users targeting 4K would need to accept frame rates far below playable levels or reduce resolution.

At 2560x1440, similarly, no preset achieves the 60 FPS threshold. The closest is Low at 57 FPS, which falls 3 FPS short of the playability mark. Medium, High, and Ultra all record averages below 45 FPS. The verdict lists no playable settings for this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the situation improves. Low averages 86 FPS, and Medium averages 66 FPS, both clearing the 60 FPS threshold. High averages 52 FPS and Ultra averages 36 FPS, both falling short. The verdict identifies Medium as the best playable setting, with an average of 66 FPS at that configuration. This represents the highest visual quality that maintains playable performance.

For users prioritizing frame rate over visual fidelity, Low at 1080p provides the largest margin above the threshold, with 86 FPS average. For users wanting the best balance, Medium at 1080p offers 66 FPS while including more graphical features than Low. No other resolution-preset combination in the database qualifies for the playable designation.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 5 7400F combined with the AMD Radeon RX 580 can run Evolve, but only under specific conditions. The verdict data confirms that 1920x1080 is the only resolution where this combination achieves playable performance.

At 1920x1080, both Low and Medium presets clear the 60 FPS threshold. Low averages 86 FPS, providing a substantial cushion above the minimum acceptable frame rate. Medium averages 66 FPS, still above the threshold but with less margin. The minimum recorded at Medium is 56 FPS, which dips below 60 FPS but remains close enough that the average experience stays playable. High and Ultra fall short at 52 and 36 FPS respectively.

At 2560x1440, the combination cannot maintain playable performance on any preset. The best case, Low at 57 FPS, misses the threshold by a narrow margin. Users attempting 1440p gaming would experience frame rates below the 60 FPS target across all settings.

At 3840x2160, the results are well below playable levels. The maximum achievable average is 33 FPS on Low, and Ultra drops to 14 FPS. This resolution is not viable for this hardware in Evolve.

The database ranks this combination at 3375 out of 3700 systems for this game, placing it in the lower tier of tested configurations. The ranking reflects the GPU's position at the 53rd percentile among all graphics cards, which limits the pairing despite the CPU's stronger 83rd percentile standing. Users with this hardware should target 1080p with Medium settings for the best combination of visual quality and smooth performance. Those who prioritize higher resolutions would need to consider a more capable graphics card, as the recorded data indicates the RX 580 cannot deliver playable frame rates beyond 1920x1080 in Evolve.
