Evolve

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Evolve on this AMD Ryzen 5 7400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination shows a clear scaling pattern across resolutions and presets. At 1920x1080, the system delivers playable frame rates at every preset, with Low settings producing an average of 177 FPS, Medium averaging 137 FPS with a minimum of 116 and maximum of 157, High averaging 107 FPS, and Ultra averaging 74 FPS. The 1080p results show that even the most demanding preset, Ultra, remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain strong but begin to show the expected load increase. Low settings average 118 FPS, Medium averages 92 FPS with a range of 78 to 106 FPS, High averages 72 FPS, and Ultra drops to 50 FPS. The data indicates that 1440p High is the most demanding preset that still clears the 60 FPS line, while Ultra falls short of playable smoothness.

At 3840x2160, the performance profile changes significantly. Low settings average 67 FPS, which is just above the playable threshold. Medium averages 52 FPS with a minimum of 44 and maximum of 60, High averages 41 FPS, and Ultra averages 28 FPS. The 4K results show that only Low settings maintain an average above 60 FPS, and even that margin is narrow. The Medium preset at 4K shows a maximum of exactly 60 FPS, indicating that frame pacing can occasionally touch the playable line, but the average and minimum both fall short.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 2151 out of 3700 tested combos for Evolve. This puts the setup in the upper-middle portion of the field, meaning it outperforms roughly 42% of the tested configurations while trailing the majority. The ranking reflects a hardware pairing that is capable but not exceptional for this title. The CPU sits at the 83rd percentile among all processors in the database, while the GPU sits at the 65th percentile among all graphics cards, which explains why the overall combo rank is lower than the CPU percentile alone might suggest. The GPU is the limiting factor in this pairing, as its percentile ranking is noticeably lower than the CPU's, and the measured frame rates at higher resolutions reflect this bottleneck.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Evolve at 1920x1080 with maximum settings?

A: Yes. The Ultra preset at 1920x1080 produces an average of 74 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four presets at this resolution clear 60 FPS on average.

Q: What is the best playable preset at 2560x1440?

A: High settings at 2560x1440 average 72 FPS, making it the most demanding preset that stays above 60 FPS. Ultra at this resolution averages 50 FPS, which falls below the playable line.

Q: Is 4K gaming viable on this hardware for Evolve?

A: Only at Low settings. The 3840x2160 Low preset averages 67 FPS, which is just above 60 FPS. Medium at 4K averages 52 FPS with a minimum of 44 FPS, so it does not maintain playable performance.

Q: How does the RTX 2070 SUPER compare to its nearest rivals in overall benchmark scores?

A: The RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, scores 20480, which is 1% higher. The GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534 (1.2% higher), the Intel Arc B570 scores 20556 (1.3% higher), and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582 (1.5% higher). These differences are small, meaning the RTX 2070 SUPER performs within a tight band of these alternatives.

Q: What is the CPU's performance position relative to its nearest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 7400F has an average benchmark score of 32750. The Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32707 (0.1% lower), the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H scores 32697 (0.2% lower), the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812 (0.2% higher), and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 scores 32662 (0.3% lower). The Ryzen 5 7400F sits essentially at parity with all four rivals, with deltas under 0.3%.

Q: Which resolution provides the highest frame rate headroom?

A: 1920x1080 Low provides the highest average at 177 FPS. Even at 1920x1080 Ultra, the average of 74 FPS leaves headroom above the 60 FPS threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i5-14600T, Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H, and AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360. All four sit within 0.3% of the Ryzen 5 7400F's average benchmark score, meaning any of these processors would deliver essentially identical CPU-bound performance in Evolve. The recorded data shows the Ryzen 5 7400F is a strong performer for this title, and swapping to any of these alternatives would not meaningfully change frame rates in most scenarios.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile, Intel Arc B570, and Intel Arc A750. These GPUs score within 1.5% of the RTX 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score, so systems built with any of these graphics cards would produce similar frame rates in Evolve at the same settings and resolutions. The RTX 3070 Mobile is particularly noteworthy as a mobile part that matches the desktop RTX 2070 SUPER's performance, which suggests that laptop configurations with that GPU would behave comparably. The Intel Arc cards, both B570 and A750, also fall within this tight performance band, indicating that recent Intel discrete GPUs offer equivalent performance for this game.

The combination of the Ryzen 5 7400F with any of the GPU rivals would produce nearly identical results to the measured data, as would the CPU rivals paired with the RTX 2070 SUPER. The performance envelope of this system is well defined by both component tiers, and the measured FPS numbers should generalize across these near-identical alternatives.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the best setting is Low, which produces an average of 67 FPS. This is the only preset at 4K that stays at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium at this resolution averages 52 FPS, so it does not qualify.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is High, averaging 72 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that maintains playable performance. Low averages 118 FPS and Medium averages 92 FPS, both also playable, but High offers the best visual quality while still clearing 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the best setting is Ultra, averaging 74 FPS. Every preset at this resolution exceeds the 60 FPS threshold, so the maximum quality preset is the recommended choice. Low averages 177 FPS, Medium averages 137 FPS, and High averages 107 FPS, but Ultra provides the highest fidelity without sacrificing playability.

The Verdict

This system can run Evolve, and the verdict depends on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the hardware clears 60 FPS at every preset, including Ultra with an average of 74 FPS. This is the resolution where the combo performs best, offering full visual quality with headroom above the playable threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system remains playable across High, Medium, and Low presets. High averages 72 FPS, which is the best playable option. Ultra at this resolution averages 50 FPS, so it falls short of smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, the system is only playable at Low settings, which averages 67 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fail to maintain 60 FPS on average. The data indicates that 4K gaming is possible but only with reduced visual settings, and the margin above the threshold is slim.

The recorded data shows that the RTX 2070 SUPER is the limiting component at higher resolutions. The CPU's strong benchmark position, at the 83rd percentile, does not compensate for the GPU's 65th percentile standing when resolution demands increase. The combo rank of 2151 out of 3700 reflects this balance: the system is a capable 1080p and 1440p machine for Evolve, but 4K requires Low settings and even then the average of 67 FPS leaves little room for demanding scenes. For players targeting 1080p or 1440p, this hardware is fully adequate for Evolve. For 4K, the system is marginally playable only at minimum quality settings.
