CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the workload distribution shifts across resolutions and presets.

At 1920x1080: The CPU's role is more prominent relative to higher resolutions. The Ryzen 5 7500F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, can feed the GPU efficiently at high frame rates. The jump from Low (293.3 FPS) to Medium (226.1 FPS) shows a 67.2 FPS drop, which is a 22.9% reduction. This scaling is primarily GPU-bound, but the CPU's single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread score of 974) ensures no bottleneck at these frame rates. The 293.3 FPS at Low suggests the CPU can sustain very high throughput when the GPU is lightly loaded.

At 2560x1440: The GPU becomes the dominant factor. The absolute FPS values drop by roughly one-third compared to 1080p, with Low going from 293.3 to 199.0 FPS (32.1% reduction). The relative scaling between presets remains consistent (22.7% between Low and Medium, 22.7% between Medium and High, 33.1% between High and Ultra), indicating the GPU is still the primary constraint. The CPU's 12 threads handle the game logic without issue, as evidenced by the 118.9 FPS at High settings.

At 3840x2160: The GPU is almost entirely responsible for performance. The pixel count quadruples compared to 1080p, and the FPS drops accordingly. The 45-48% reduction from 1440p to 4K shows the GPU's memory bandwidth (504.2 GB/s) and shading capacity are the limiting factors. The CPU's role is minimal at this resolution, as frame rates are well below any potential CPU bottleneck. The fact that Ultra settings drop to 48.6 FPS while CPU-bound benchmarks show strong multi-core performance (cinebench_r23_multicore score of 22799) confirms the GPU is the sole constraint.

The scaling between resolutions provides clear evidence: at 1080p, both components matter, but at 4K, the RTX 4070 SUPER's capabilities define the experience. The 65.3 FPS at 4K High suggests the GPU is operating near its limit, while the CPU has remaining headroom.

How This Combo Ranks

This specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7500F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER ranks 613th out of 3700 tested combos in Evolve. This places it in the top 16.6% of all configurations tested, indicating a well-above-average system for this game.

The CPU's individual ranking at the 77th percentile of all CPUs and the GPU's 83rd percentile ranking both contribute to this strong position. The combo rank of 613 suggests that while many combinations are slower, a significant number of higher-end systems (likely with RTX 4080-class or faster GPUs) outperform it. The gap to the top combos is driven primarily by GPU capability, as the CPU is already in the upper quartile.

In practical terms, this rank means the system sits in the upper tier of gaming PCs. The 3700 total combos include many budget and mid-range systems, so the 613th position reflects a high-end configuration that can handle most games at high refresh rates and resolutions.
