Evolve

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this combination in Evolve shows a clear pattern: performance scales strongly with resolution and settings, but only the lower end of the test matrix crosses the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the highest average frame rate recorded is 30.5 FPS on Low settings. Medium drops to 21.8 FPS, High falls to 17.3 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 10.6 FPS. No 4K preset comes close to a playable experience, and the gap between Low and Ultra is 19.9 FPS, which indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed by the pixel count regardless of quality level.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results improve substantially but still remain below 60 FPS across every preset. Low settings produce an average of 51.6 FPS, which is the best result at this resolution. Medium averages 42.8 FPS, High averages 29.1 FPS, and Ultra averages 20.1 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 31.5 FPS, showing that settings have a large impact on the frame rate here. Even at the lowest settings, the system falls 8.4 FPS short of the playable threshold, so 1440p is not viable for smooth gameplay.

At 1920x1080, the situation changes. Low settings deliver an average of 76.6 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS line. Medium settings average 62.7 FPS, which also clears the threshold. High settings fall to 46.7 FPS, and Ultra drops to 33.7 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 42.9 FPS, the largest settings spread in the entire dataset. This suggests that at 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom at lower presets but quickly becomes overwhelmed when visual quality increases.

The database does not include minimum or maximum frame rate values for any resolution or preset, so the analysis relies entirely on average FPS. That limitation means the data reflects sustained performance rather than frame time consistency or transient drops. The averages alone, however, show a consistent pattern: 1080p Low and Medium are the only configurations that meet the playable threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this combination each have nearby alternatives in the database based on average benchmark scores. For the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, the nearest rival is the Intel Core i7-11850H, which scores 24,935 compared to the Ryzen's average of 24,964, a delta of 0.1%. That puts the two effectively at parity. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25,005, which is 0.2% higher than the 7500F. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24,911, 0.2% lower, and the Intel Core 5 210H scores 24,872, 0.4% lower. In practical terms, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve, since the differences are all well under half a percent.

For the AMD Radeon RX 570, the nearest rival is the AMD Radeon RX 6800M, which scores 28,874 versus the RX 570's 28,766, a delta of -0.4%. That means the RX 6800M is slightly slower in the database average, which is an unusual ordering but the data is what it is. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28,580, 0.7% lower than the RX 570. The AMD Radeon RX 470 scores 28,996, 0.8% higher. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 scores 28,421, 1.2% lower. All four rival GPUs sit within a narrow band around the RX 570, so any of them would likely deliver comparable frame rates in Evolve at the same settings.

The practical takeaway from the rival data is that this combo sits in a cluster of similarly performing hardware. A user swapping the Ryzen 5 7500F for an Intel Core i7-11850H or swapping the RX 570 for an RX 470 would see almost no change in Evolve's frame rates. The CPU percentile of 77 versus all CPUs and the GPU percentile of 74 versus all GPUs both indicate mid-to-upper tier placement, but the game's demands are such that this level of hardware only reaches 60 FPS at 1080p with reduced settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset achieves 60 FPS. The best recorded average is 30.5 FPS on Low settings, which is the highest frame rate at that resolution, but it is far below the playable threshold. Since the verdict data lists no playable settings for 4K, there is no recommended preset for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the same situation applies. No settings preset reaches 60 FPS. The best average is 51.6 FPS on Low, which is the maximum achievable at 1440p, but it still falls short. The verdict data confirms that no playable settings exist at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium, with an average of 62.7 FPS. Low settings also clear the threshold with 76.6 FPS, but Medium is the higher quality option that remains playable. High settings drop to 46.7 FPS and Ultra to 33.7 FPS, so neither is viable. The recommendation from the recorded data is clear: 1080p Medium is the ceiling for this combination in Evolve.

The Verdict

This PC can run Evolve, but only at 1920x1080 and only with reduced settings. The verdict by resolution shows that 3840x2160 has no playable settings, 2560x1440 has no playable settings, and 1920x1080 has two playable presets: Low and Medium. The best playable preset at 1080p is Medium, which averages 62.7 FPS, just 2.7 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. Low averages 76.6 FPS, providing more headroom but at lower visual quality.

At 1440p, the closest result is Low at 51.6 FPS, which is 8.4 FPS short of playable. At 4K, the closest result is Low at 30.5 FPS, which is less than half of the target. The data indicates that this is a 1080p-class configuration for Evolve. Users with 1440p or 4K displays would need to run at reduced resolution or accept frame rates well below the playable threshold.

The overall ranking reinforces this assessment. This combination ranks 3,537 out of 3,700 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the bottom portion of the database. That rank is consistent with the measured frame rates, which only meet the playable standard at the lowest resolution and mid-to-low settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the CPU and GPU split the workload in Evolve at different resolutions. At 3840x2160, the frame rates are extremely low across all presets, ranging from 10.6 FPS on Ultra to 30.5 FPS on Low. The small absolute differences between presets at this resolution, only 19.9 FPS from Low to Ultra, indicate that the GPU is saturated by the pixel throughput. The CPU is unlikely to be the limiting factor when the GPU cannot produce more than 30 FPS even on the lowest settings.

At 2560x1440, the settings spread widens to 31.5 FPS, from 20.1 FPS on Ultra to 51.6 FPS on Low. This larger gap suggests that the GPU still dominates performance, but the CPU has more room to contribute as the render load decreases. The 51.6 FPS result on Low shows the system approaching the playable range, which points to the GPU being the primary constraint at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the settings spread expands further to 42.9 FPS, from 33.7 FPS on Ultra to 76.6 FPS on Low. The fact that Low settings nearly double the frame rate compared to Ultra indicates that the GPU is heavily settings-limited at this resolution. However, the CPU's role becomes more visible here because the system can exceed 60 FPS when the GPU load is low. The Ryzen 5 7500F has strong single-thread performance in the database, with a 3DMark single-thread score of 974 and a PassMark single-thread score of 3,841, so it is not holding the system back at 1080p.

Comparing across resolutions, the same preset shows clear GPU scaling. Low settings go from 30.5 FPS at 4K to 51.6 FPS at 1440p to 76.6 FPS at 1080p. Medium goes from 21.8 FPS to 42.8 FPS to 62.7 FPS. High goes from 17.3 FPS to 29.1 FPS to 46.7 FPS. Ultra goes from 10.6 FPS to 20.1 FPS to 33.7 FPS. The consistent improvement as resolution drops confirms that the GPU is the dominant factor across the board. The CPU matters most at 1080p Low, where the frame rate ceiling is high enough for CPU performance to influence the result, but even there the GPU remains the primary bottleneck.

How This Combo Ranks

This combination of the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and the AMD Radeon RX 570 ranks 3,537 out of 3,700 tested combos in Evolve. That places it in the bottom 163 combos of the database, roughly the 4.4th percentile of tested configurations. The rank aligns with the measured frame rates, which only achieve playable status at 1080p Low and Medium.

The CPU itself is not the reason for the low rank. The Ryzen 5 7500F sits at the 77th percentile among all CPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 24,964. Its nearest rivals, the Intel Core i7-11850H and the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, are within 0.2% of its score. The GPU, however, sits at the 74th percentile among all GPUs, which is respectable on its own, but the combination appears limited by the GPU's age and memory configuration in a modern FPS title.

The rank of 3,537 out of 3,700 means that the vast majority of tested combinations deliver higher frame rates in Evolve. This is consistent with the measured data: the system only crosses the 60 FPS threshold at 1080p with lower settings. For a game that rewards higher frame rates, this combination is positioned near the bottom of the database, despite the CPU being a relatively strong component in isolation.
