Best Settings per Resolution

The measured frame rates determine the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS for each resolution.

At 3840x2160, the High preset is the recommended choice, achieving an average of 68 FPS. The Medium preset runs faster at 86 FPS (with a 73 FPS minimum), but High offers better visual fidelity while still clearing the playable threshold. The Ultra preset falls short at 47 FPS, so it is not viable at this resolution.

For 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is fully playable with an average of 82 FPS. The High preset reaches 119 FPS, Medium hits 152 FPS (129 minimum), and Low runs at 196 FPS, but Ultra provides the maximum visual quality without sacrificing the 60 FPS target.

At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the best choice, delivering an average of 123 FPS. Lower presets are even faster—High at 177 FPS, Medium at 226 FPS (192 minimum), and Low at 292 FPS—but the system has ample headroom to run the game at its highest settings.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the nearest rivals for both components gives a sense of what other hardware would behave similarly in this system.

For the CPU, the AMD Ryzen 5 7400F (average score 32750) is nearly identical in performance to several alternatives. The Intel Core i5-14600T scores 32707, a 0.1% gap, making it an almost direct swap in terms of overall benchmark results. The Intel Core Ultra 7 155H (32697) and the AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO 360 (32662) are also within 0.3% of the Ryzen 5, meaning any of these processors would deliver effectively the same CPU-bound performance in Evolve. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850H scores 32812, which is 0.2% higher, a negligible difference for gaming workloads.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (average score 43223) sits in a tight cluster with several rivals. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268) are both within 0.1% of its score, suggesting nearly identical rasterization performance. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43301) trails by 0.2%, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile (43667) is 1% faster, which would translate to a modest frame rate advantage in practice. For Evolve specifically, any of these GPUs paired with the Ryzen 5 7400F would produce frame rates within a few percentage points of the numbers reported here.

The Verdict

This PC runs Evolve exceptionally well, with the data showing playable performance at every resolution tested.

At 3840x2160, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on High, Low, and Medium presets, with the best playable setting being High at 68 FPS average. The Ultra preset at 47 FPS is the only configuration that falls short. For 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, and the Ultra setting delivers 82 FPS, making it the recommended choice for maximum quality. At 1920x1080, the Ultra preset achieves 123 FPS, and even the most demanding settings leave substantial performance headroom.

The overall picture is unambiguous: this combination is more than sufficient for Evolve. Players targeting 4K should stick to High settings for a smooth experience, while those at 1440p or 1080p can enable Ultra without concern. The system's 83rd percentile ranking among all CPUs and GPUs further confirms its strong standing for this title.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Evolve's performance.

At 3840x2160, the GPU is the dominant factor. The frame rate scales steeply with preset quality: Low averages 111 FPS, Medium drops to 86 FPS, High falls to 68 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 47 FPS. This pattern indicates that pixel throughput and shading load are the primary bottlenecks, as the RTX 4070 SUPER's compute resources are stretched by the 4K resolution. The CPU's role is secondary here, as the Ryzen 5 7400F's single-thread score of 3072 in Cinebench R23 is sufficient to feed the GPU at these frame rates.

Moving to 2560x1440, the balance shifts. The GPU still carries most of the load—Low runs at 196 FPS, Medium at 152 FPS, High at 119 FPS, and Ultra at 82 FPS—but the CPU begins to matter more at lower presets where frame rates exceed 150 FPS. The Ryzen 5 7400F's multi-core score of 21765 in Cinebench R23 and its 83rd percentile ranking ensure it can keep pace, but the scaling from Medium to Ultra shows the GPU's increasing influence as settings rise.

At 1920x1080, the CPU's importance becomes more pronounced. The Low preset reaches 292 FPS, and Medium hits 226 FPS, both of which place significant demands on the processor to generate frames. The CPU's 6 cores and 12 threads, with a boost clock of 4.70 GHz, handle this workload effectively, as evidenced by the high frame rates. However, the Ultra preset at 123 FPS still relies heavily on the GPU, demonstrating that even at 1080p, Evolve's visual effects scale with graphics hardware.

The data shows that the GPU is the primary determinant of performance at 4K and high presets, while the CPU becomes more relevant at lower resolutions and settings. For this game, the RTX 4070 SUPER's 12 GB of GDDR6X memory and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth provide ample headroom for high-resolution textures, while the Ryzen 5 7400F's Zen 4 architecture ensures no CPU-bound stalls.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific CPU-GPU pairing holds a rank of 616 out of 3700 tested combinations for Evolve, placing it in the top 17% of all systems evaluated.

The rank reflects the combination's ability to deliver high frame rates across all resolutions. At 1080p, the Ultra preset's 123 FPS average puts it ahead of many lower-tier pairings that struggle to maintain 60 FPS at that setting. The 1440p result of 82 FPS on Ultra further boosts its standing, as does the 4K High preset's 68 FPS, which is a notable achievement for a game released in 2015.

The 83rd percentile rankings for both the CPU (percentileVsAllCpus: 83) and GPU (percentileVsAllGpus: 83) indicate that this system sits comfortably above the median hardware in the database. The CPU's average benchmark score of 32750 and the GPU's 43223 combine to create a balanced platform where neither component is a glaring bottleneck, which is reflected in the consistent performance across settings. For players looking at Evolve specifically, this rank suggests the system will handle the game with ease, and the data confirms it is a strong choice among the 3700 combos tested.
