Evolve

Best Settings per Resolution

At 4K (3840x2160), the most demanding preset that holds at or above 60 FPS is Low, with an average of 67 FPS. The Medium preset drops to 52 FPS, so it falls below the playable threshold. High and Ultra sit at 41 FPS and 28 FPS respectively, both clearly outside comfortable playability.

At 1440p (2560x1440), High is the strongest preset that stays above 60 FPS, averaging 72 FPS. Medium reaches 92 FPS, and Low hits 118 FPS, but High is the highest visual quality tier that still clears the 60 FPS bar. Ultra falls to 50 FPS, so it misses the threshold.

At 1080p (1920x1080), the entire preset ladder is playable. Ultra averages 74 FPS, High reaches 107 FPS, Medium hits 137 FPS, and Low tops out at 177 FPS. The database shows Ultra as the best settings choice at this resolution because it is the most demanding preset that still stays at or above 60 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the data shows a steep performance cliff as settings increase. Low settings deliver 67 FPS average, which is the only playable option at 4K. Medium drops to 52 FPS average, with a recorded range of 44 FPS minimum to 60 FPS maximum. High falls further to 41 FPS average, and Ultra bottoms out at 28 FPS average. The gap from Low to Ultra is 39 FPS, indicating that Evolve's higher presets place a heavy load on the GPU at 4K.

At 2560x1440, the picture is more balanced. Low settings reach 118 FPS average. Medium produces 92 FPS average, with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS. High is playable at 72 FPS average. Ultra drops to 50 FPS average, missing the threshold by 10 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 68 FPS, showing that resolution scaling at 1440p is less punishing than at 4K.

At 1920x1080, all presets remain well above the 60 FPS line. Low averages 177 FPS, Medium averages 137 FPS with a range of 116 to 157 FPS, High averages 107 FPS, and Ultra averages 74 FPS. The difference between Low and Ultra is 103 FPS, which is the largest preset gap across all resolutions. Even at Ultra, the minimum frame rate is not recorded, but the average of 74 FPS leaves a comfortable margin above the threshold.

Comparing across resolutions, the same preset shows clear scaling patterns. High settings go from 107 FPS at 1080p to 72 FPS at 1440p to 41 FPS at 4K. Medium goes from 137 FPS at 1080p to 92 FPS at 1440p to 52 FPS at 4K. Low goes from 177 FPS at 1080p to 118 FPS at 1440p to 67 FPS at 4K. The resolution jump from 1080p to 1440p costs roughly 30 to 40 percent of the frame rate, while the jump from 1440p to 4K costs another 40 percent or more.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU in this combo, the AMD Ryzen 5 7500F, sits very close to several other processors in the database's aggregate benchmark scores. Its average benchmark score is 24964. The Intel Core i7-11850H scores 24935, a delta of 0.1 percent, meaning the two are effectively identical in overall CPU performance. The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F scores 25005, a delta of negative 0.2 percent, placing it essentially on par as well. The Intel Core i7-13620H scores 24911, a delta of 0.2 percent, and the Intel Core 5 210H scores 24872, a delta of 0.4 percent. All four rivals sit within a 0.4 percent band of the Ryzen 5 7500F, so swapping to any of them would produce nearly indistinguishable gameplay results in Evolve.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282. Its nearest rivals are all slightly faster in aggregate terms. The NVIDIA Quadro M4000M scores 20480, a delta of negative 1 percent, meaning it is about 1 percent ahead. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, a delta of negative 1.2 percent. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, a delta of negative 1.3 percent, and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, a delta of negative 1.5 percent. These deltas are small enough that in-game frame rates would be very close, though the RTX 2070 SUPER would trail each rival by a marginal amount in GPU-bound scenes.

For Evolve specifically, the CPU differences among these rivals are unlikely to matter much because the game's frame rates at lower resolutions are high enough that the GPU becomes the limiting factor. At 1080p Low, the combo already reaches 177 FPS, and any of the four rival CPUs would land within a few percent of that figure. At 4K, where the GPU is heavily stressed, the CPU choice matters even less.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database's tested pool for Evolve, this AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER combination ranks 2151 out of 3700 combos. That places it in the lower half of all tested configurations, specifically around the 58th percentile from the bottom. The ranking reflects the RTX 2070 SUPER's age and position in the GPU hierarchy; the CPU is a modern part with strong single-thread performance, but the GPU holds the combo back at higher resolutions and presets.

The rank is consistent with the measured FPS data. At 1080p, the combo delivers strong results, with Ultra at 74 FPS and High at 107 FPS. At 1440p, it remains playable at High but not Ultra. At 4K, only Low is playable. This pattern suggests that the combo is a solid 1080p performer, a decent 1440p performer on medium-to-high settings, and a marginal 4K performer on low settings only. The mid-pack ranking reflects this mixed profile: capable at lower resolutions, but below the top tier at higher ones.

The Verdict

The database's verdict is clear: this PC can run Evolve, but the playable settings depend heavily on resolution. At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, with an average of 67 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the 60 FPS threshold, so 4K play is limited to the lowest preset.

At 2560x1440, the playable preset list expands to High, Low, and Medium. The best settings choice is High at 72 FPS average, with Low at 118 FPS and Medium at 92 FPS also viable. Ultra is not playable at this resolution, averaging 50 FPS.

At 1920x1080, every preset is playable. Ultra averages 74 FPS, High averages 107 FPS, Medium averages 137 FPS, and Low averages 177 FPS. The best settings choice is Ultra, since it is the most demanding preset that still clears 60 FPS.

In short, the system is fully capable at 1080p with maximum settings, capable at 1440p with high settings, and only minimally capable at 4K with low settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the GPU dominates performance scaling in Evolve as resolution increases. At 1080p, the combo reaches 177 FPS on Low and 74 FPS on Ultra, which indicates that the CPU can feed the GPU well at this resolution. The large frame rate gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p, 103 FPS, is driven by GPU load, not CPU limits.

At 1440p, the frame rates drop across all presets, but the pattern remains GPU-bound. Low goes from 177 to 118 FPS, Medium goes from 137 to 92 FPS, High goes from 107 to 72 FPS, and Ultra goes from 74 to 50 FPS. The consistent drop across every preset points to the GPU being the primary bottleneck as pixel count rises.

At 4K, the GPU constraint becomes severe. Low drops to 67 FPS, Medium to 52 FPS, High to 41 FPS, and Ultra to 28 FPS. The CPU's role diminishes further because the GPU is unable to maintain high frame rates at any preset. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with its strong single-thread and multi-thread benchmark scores, is not the limiting factor at 4K; the RTX 2070 SUPER simply lacks the raw throughput for high preset 4K gameplay.

The CPU's relevance is most visible at 1080p Low, where 177 FPS demonstrates that the processor can handle the game's simulation and draw call overhead without becoming a bottleneck. At higher resolutions, the GPU takes over as the dominant factor. Players aiming for 4K would need a significantly stronger GPU, while players at 1080p or 1440p can rely on the current GPU to deliver smooth frame rates at medium-to-high settings.
