Evolve

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7500F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER sits at rank 2569 out of 3700 tested combinations in the database for Evolve. That places this combo in the lower third of all recorded pairings, which is a meaningful signal for a game released in early 2015. The rank reflects the aggregate of all resolution and settings tests, and the data shows that while the system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at 1080p and 1440p with the right presets, it struggles at 4K beyond Low settings.

The CPU itself is a strong contributor. The Ryzen 5 7500F achieves an average benchmark score of 24964 across all recorded tests, placing it in the 77th percentile of all CPUs. That is a solid position for a six-core, twelve-thread Zen 4 part. Its nearest rivals in the database are the Intel Core i7-11850H at 24935 (0.1% lower), the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F at 25005 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i7-13620H at 24911 (0.2% lower), and the Intel Core 5 210H at 24872 (0.4% lower). The deltas are tiny, meaning any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically in Evolve when paired with the same GPU.

The GPU side is more modest. The RTX 2060 SUPER posts an average benchmark score of 18093, which lands in the 62nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile at 18159 (0.4% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro 5700 at 18189 (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 460 at 18373 (1.5% higher), and the Intel Arc A770M at 18383 (1.6% higher). Notably, the RX 460 and Arc A770M score higher in average GPU benchmarks, though the RTX 2060 SUPER still delivers playable frame rates at 1080p and 1440p in Evolve.

The combination rank of 2569 out of 3700 means roughly 70% of tested combos outperform this pairing. That is not a flattering result, but it is contextual: Evolve is an older title, and the RTX 2060 SUPER is an end-of-life product from the Turing generation. The CPU has headroom, but the GPU becomes the limiting factor at higher resolutions and presets.

FAQ

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

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 1080p Ultra is 68.6, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. The database verdict lists Ultra as the best playable setting at this resolution.

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

A: High settings produce an average of 65.5 FPS at 1440p, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. Medium and Low also clear 60 FPS, but Ultra drops to 43 FPS, which is not playable per the database criteria.

Q: Is 4K gaming possible with this combo?

A: Only at Low settings. The measured average at 3840x2160 Low is 60.8 FPS, just above the threshold. Medium drops to 47.4 FPS, High to 35.2 FPS, and Ultra to 27 FPS, none of which meet the playable standard.

Q: How does the Ryzen 5 7500F compare to its closest CPU rivals?

A: The Ryzen 5 7500F has an average score of 24964. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935 (0.1% lower), the AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25005 (0.2% higher), the Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911 (0.2% lower), and the Intel Core 5 210H scores 24872 (0.4% lower). Performance differences are negligible.

Q: What GPU performance tier does the RTX 2060 SUPER occupy?

A: The RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 18093, placing it in the 62nd percentile of all GPUs. Its closest rival is the RTX 3060 Mobile at 18159, only 0.4% higher, so the desktop 2060 SUPER and that mobile part should produce very similar frame rates in Evolve.

Q: Does the CPU bottleneck the GPU in this game?

A: The data does not indicate a CPU bottleneck. At 1080p Low, the combo reaches 162.5 FPS average, and at 1080p Ultra it still manages 68.6 FPS. The frame rate scaling across resolutions follows the GPU load pattern, suggesting the RTX 2060 SUPER is the primary constraint at higher settings.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database records measured average FPS for four presets at each resolution. The best settings are defined as the most demanding preset that still maintains an average at or above 60 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the only playable preset is Low, with an average of 60.8 FPS. Medium falls to 47.4 FPS, High to 35.2 FPS, and Ultra to 27 FPS. For a 4K display, users should select Low to stay above the threshold, though the margin is slim at just 0.8 FPS.

At 2560x1440, High is the best playable preset, delivering 65.5 FPS average. Medium runs at 81.7 FPS and Low at 107.3 FPS, both well above the threshold. Ultra drops below playable at 43 FPS. Users with a 1440p monitor can comfortably use High settings.

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best playable preset, with an average of 68.6 FPS. High runs at 100.2 FPS, Medium at 125.9 FPS, and Low at 162.5 FPS. All four presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, so 1080p users have full freedom to choose any setting.

These results show a clear pattern: the RTX 2060 SUPER handles 1080p effortlessly, manages 1440p with moderate settings, and only scrapes by at 4K with the lowest preset.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the CPU and GPU provide a picture of what other hardware would behave similarly in Evolve.

On the CPU side, the Ryzen 5 7500F is extremely close to four other processors. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, just 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25005, 0.2% higher. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, 0.2% lower. The Intel Core 5 210H scores 24872, 0.4% lower. In practice, swapping any of these CPUs into this system would produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve, since the game is not heavily CPU-bound at the tested resolutions.

On the GPU side, the RTX 2060 SUPER is closely matched by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile, which scores 18159, only 0.4% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5% higher. The Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6% higher. These four GPUs would deliver essentially the same performance tier in Evolve, meaning users with any of these cards should expect similar FPS numbers at each resolution and preset.

It is worth remembering the RX 460 and Arc A770M both score higher than the RTX 2060 SUPER in average GPU benchmarks, despite being different architectures. For Evolve specifically, the measured results suggest that any of these four GPUs would land within a few percent of the RTX 2060 SUPER's frame rates. The practical takeaway is that if a user already owns one of these alternative GPUs, the experience in Evolve would be comparable to the numbers recorded for this combo.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains measured average FPS for twelve combinations of resolution and settings. All readings come from actual testing, not estimates.

At 3840x2160, the results are as follows:

• Low: 60.8 FPS average
• Medium: 47.4 FPS average
• High: 35.2 FPS average
• Ultra: 27 FPS average

The gap between Low and Medium is 13.4 FPS, which is substantial. The step from Medium to High costs another 12.2 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 8.2 FPS. This is a steep degradation curve, typical of a GPU that is underpowered for 4K.

At 2560x1440, the results improve significantly:

• Low: 107.3 FPS average
• Medium: 81.7 FPS average
• High: 65.5 FPS average
• Ultra: 43 FPS average

The difference between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 64.3 FPS, showing that the RTX 2060 SUPER has plenty of headroom at lower presets but runs out of steam at Ultra. The step from High to Ultra is the largest single drop at 22.5 FPS, which suggests that Ultra enables expensive effects that this GPU cannot handle at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, the results are strong across the board:

• Low: 162.5 FPS average
• Medium: 125.9 FPS average
• High: 100.2 FPS average
• Ultra: 68.6 FPS average

Even at Ultra, the combo nearly reaches 70 FPS average, which is comfortable for a 60 Hz display and adequate for a 144 Hz monitor with adaptive sync. The scaling from Low to Ultra is 93.9 FPS, but every preset remains playable.

There are no minimum or maximum FPS values recorded in the database for this game, so the analysis relies on average frame rates. The absence of min/max data means the database cannot comment on frame time consistency or stutter behavior, but the averages are consistently above the playable threshold for all 1080p presets and for 1440p up to High.

The data also shows that resolution scaling is not linear. Moving from 1080p to 1440p at High settings costs 34.7 FPS (from 100.2 to 65.5). Moving from 1440p to 4K at High settings costs another 30.3 FPS (from 65.5 to 35.2). At Low settings, the drop from 1080p to 1440p is 55.2 FPS, and from 1440p to 4K is 46.5 FPS. The GPU is clearly the limiting factor, as the CPU's performance headroom does not compensate for the increased pixel workload.

The Verdict

The recorded data answers the question directly: yes, this PC can run Evolve, but the playable range depends heavily on resolution and settings.

At 1920x1080, the system clears the 60 FPS threshold at every preset. Ultra runs at 68.6 FPS, High at 100.2 FPS, Medium at 125.9 FPS, and Low at 162.5 FPS. This is a fully playable configuration for 1080p gaming, and users can choose any visual preset without dropping below the playable line.

At 2560x1440, the system clears the threshold at Low, Medium, and High settings. The best playable preset is High at 65.5 FPS average, which leaves a small margin above 60 FPS. Medium at 81.7 FPS and Low at 107.3 FPS offer more headroom. Ultra falls to 43 FPS, which fails the playable test, so 1440p users should avoid Ultra.

At 3840x2160, the system only clears the threshold at Low settings, with an average of 60.8 FPS. That is a narrow 0.8 FPS margin, meaning any minor scene complexity increase could push it below 60. Medium at 47.4 FPS, High at 35.2 FPS, and Ultra at 27 FPS are all unplayable by the database criteria. 4K gaming with this combo is technically possible but not recommended beyond the lowest preset.

The overall verdict is that this combo is a capable 1080p machine for Evolve, a moderate 1440p machine with settings capped below Ultra, and a marginal 4K machine limited to Low. The CPU has substantial headroom, as evidenced by its 77th percentile ranking, but the RTX 2060 SUPER's 62nd percentile ranking and end-of-life status cap the system's performance.

For a game released in early 2015, the RTX 2060 SUPER is several generations newer than the hardware Evolve was designed for, so the fact that it cannot hit 60 FPS at 4K Ultra is more a reflection of the GPU's absolute limits than the game's demands. The data shows that the system's best experience is at 1080p, where it delivers smooth frame rates at any preset, or at 1440p with High settings for a balance of visual quality and performance.

Users seeking higher frame rates at 1440p Ultra or 4K would need a faster GPU, but within the confines of this pairing, the recorded measurements provide a clear picture: 1080p is the sweet spot, 1440p is workable with settings discipline, and 4K is only for the least demanding preset.
