Evolve

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for this AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination shows a clear scaling pattern across the three tested resolutions. At 1920x1080, the system delivers consistently high frame rates across all four settings presets. The Low preset reaches 162.7 FPS average, which represents the highest recorded figure for this combo in any configuration. Medium follows at 121.8 FPS, High at 96.4 FPS, and the demanding Ultra preset still holds a 70 FPS average. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 92.7 FPS, indicating that the GPU has substantial headroom even when pushed to maximum quality settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the same pattern emerges but with a noticeable compression of the frame rate range. Low settings produce 105.3 FPS average, Medium drops to 81.7 FPS, and High settles at 63.9 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold with a 43.7 FPS average. The difference between Low and Ultra here is 61.6 FPS, narrower than at 1080p, which suggests the resolution increase is beginning to strain the graphics subsystem more than the CPU.

At 3840x2160, the RTX 2060 SUPER clearly reaches its practical limit with this processor. Low settings average 58.4 FPS, which is just under the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium drops to 47.7 FPS, High falls to 38.2 FPS, and Ultra manages only 26.4 FPS. The spread from Low to Ultra is 32 FPS, and every preset except Low fails to maintain playable performance. The min and max FPS values were not recorded for any resolution or settings combination, so the analysis relies entirely on average frame rates from the database.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with a measured average of 70 FPS. This means users can enable maximum quality settings and still maintain a comfortable margin above the playable threshold. Given the 70 FPS result, there is approximately 10 FPS of headroom before dropping below 60 FPS, which provides some buffer for demanding scenes.

At 2560x1440, the best settings that clear the 60 FPS threshold are High, delivering 63.9 FPS average. The Ultra preset at this resolution falls short at 43.7 FPS, so High represents the optimal balance between visual quality and performance. The margin above the threshold is only 3.9 FPS, which is relatively slim and could be tested by particularly intense gameplay moments.

For 3840x2160, the verdict data shows no playable settings. Every preset, from Low at 58.4 FPS to Ultra at 26.4 FPS, fails to reach the 60 FPS threshold. The closest result is Low settings at 58.4 FPS, which is 1.6 FPS short of playable. Consequently, there is no recommended preset for 4K resolution with this combination, and users seeking 60 FPS at 4K would need different hardware.

The Verdict

This PC configuration can run Evolve at 1920x1080 with all settings presets above the 60 FPS playable threshold. The Ultra preset delivers 70 FPS average, meaning users can enjoy maximum visual quality without compromise at standard Full HD resolution. The data shows a strong 1920x1080 experience across the board, with even the most demanding settings maintaining a 10 FPS margin above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, the system remains capable but with limitations. High settings achieve 63.9 FPS average, which is playable, and Low and Medium also clear the threshold at 105.3 and 81.7 FPS respectively. However, the Ultra preset falls to 43.7 FPS, so users at 1440p must accept High settings as the ceiling for smooth gameplay. The 3.9 FPS margin at High is modest, so consistent performance may vary in intense scenes.

For 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: this combination cannot deliver playable frame rates at any settings preset. The best result is 58.4 FPS at Low settings, which is 1.6 FPS short of the threshold. The RTX 2060 SUPER, with its 8 GB GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth, is insufficient for 4K gaming in Evolve when paired with this CPU. Users targeting 4K would need to reduce resolution or upgrade the GPU.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 sits near several comparable processors in the database. The AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX has an average benchmark score of 26274, which is 0.2% lower than the Ryzen 5 7600's average of 26324. The AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS scores 26402, placing it 0.3% higher, while the Intel Core i9-11900KF scores 26212, or 0.4% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 8540U rounds out the group with 26187, which is 0.5% lower. These deltas are all within half a percent, so any of these processors would deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Evolve.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 18093. The closest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile at 18159, which is 0.4% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, or 0.5% higher, and the AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, which is 1.5% higher. The Intel Arc A770M completes the list at 18383, 1.6% higher. These small deltas mean that swapping the RTX 2060 SUPER for any of these alternatives would produce very similar frame rates in Evolve, given the same CPU and settings.

The percentile rankings place the Ryzen 5 7600 at the 78th percentile among all CPUs, while the RTX 2060 SUPER sits at the 62nd percentile among all GPUs. This suggests the CPU has more relative headroom than the GPU in this pairing, which aligns with the observed FPS scaling where resolution increases cause larger proportional drops in performance.

How This Combo Ranks

The database records this specific combination of AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER at rank 2692 out of 3700 tested combinations for Evolve. This places the combo in the lower portion of the overall distribution, specifically at approximately the 27th percentile from the top. The ranking reflects that while the system handles 1080p and 1440p gaming adequately, its inability to reach playable frame rates at 4K holds it back compared to higher-end configurations.

The rank of 2692 out of 3700 means that roughly 1008 tested combinations performed better in this game, while about 2691 performed worse. Given that the Ryzen 5 7600 excels in CPU benchmarks relative to its peers, the ranking is likely constrained primarily by the RTX 2060 SUPER's GPU performance. The 62nd percentile GPU ranking compared to the 78th percentile CPU ranking supports this interpretation.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data reveals how the division of labor shifts between the CPU and GPU across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the frame rates are high enough that the GPU is likely the primary limiter, as even the Ultra preset at 70 FPS does not suggest CPU saturation. The scaling from Low at 162.7 FPS to Ultra at 70 FPS shows a 92.7 FPS range, which is the widest spread across all resolutions. This indicates that at 1080p, the GPU has enough performance headroom to respond strongly to settings changes, while the CPU keeps up without bottlenecking.

At 2560x1440, the frame rate spread narrows to 61.6 FPS between Low and Ultra. The reduction in spread compared to 1080p suggests that the GPU is becoming more of a limiting factor, as the same settings changes produce smaller absolute FPS gains. The CPU still has ample capacity, evidenced by the 105.3 FPS at Low settings, but the GPU workload at 1440p begins to constrain maximum output.

The 3840x2160 results show the most compressed range, with only 32 FPS separating Low from Ultra. At this resolution, the GPU is clearly the dominant constraint, as even Low settings cannot reach 60 FPS. The RTX 2060 SUPER's 7.181 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 105.6 GPixel/s pixel rate are insufficient for the pixel workload at 4K. The CPU's role diminishes at higher resolutions because the GPU becomes the bottleneck, and the Ryzen 5 7600's strong single-thread and multi-thread scores cannot compensate for the GPU's limits.

The percentile data reinforces this pattern. The CPU's 78th percentile ranking versus the GPU's 62nd percentile indicates that the GPU is the weaker link in this pairing. At 1080p, the CPU can feed the GPU adequately, but as resolution increases, the GPU's performance ceiling becomes the defining factor. Users seeking better 1440p or 4K performance would benefit more from a GPU upgrade than a CPU upgrade, based on the recorded data.
