Evolve

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, this combination delivers strong performance across all presets. Low settings produce an average of 175.7 FPS, Medium reaches 136.7 FPS, and High hits 105.6 FPS. Even at Ultra, the average stays well above typical refresh rates at 72.8 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra shows a predictable trade-off: dropping from 175.7 to 72.8 FPS represents roughly a 59% reduction in frame rate when maxing out quality.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates remain respectable but the gap between presets widens. Low averages 119.4 FPS, Medium drops to 95.1 FPS, and High settles at 74.6 FPS. Ultra falls below the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 51.2 FPS. This resolution shows a clear inflection point: High is the last preset that maintains a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, while Ultra becomes noticeably less fluid.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes substantially. Low settings average 69.4 FPS, which barely clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium drops to 51.4 FPS, High falls to 41.9 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 31.1 FPS. The data indicates that 4K is only viable with significant quality compromises. The step from Low to Medium costs roughly 18 FPS, and each subsequent preset tier removes another 10 FPS or more.

Across all resolutions, the pattern is consistent: Evolve responds strongly to preset changes, and the RTX 2070 SUPER paired with the Ryzen 5 7600 delivers the best experience at 1080p, where even Ultra remains playable. The min and max FPS fields are not recorded in the database, so this analysis relies solely on average frame rates.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Evolve at 4K with playable frame rates?

A: Yes, but only on Low settings. The measured average at 3840x2160 with Low is 69.4 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, with averages of 51.4, 41.9, and 31.1 FPS respectively.

Q: What is the best preset at 1440p that stays above 60 FPS?

A: High settings are the most demanding playable option at 2560x1440, with an average of 74.6 FPS. Medium averages 95.1 FPS and Low averages 119.4 FPS, but Ultra drops to 51.2 FPS, which is below the playable threshold.

Q: Is Ultra settings achievable at 1080p?

A: Yes. The measured average at 1920x1080 with Ultra is 72.8 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS playable threshold. This is the only resolution in the database where Ultra clears the bar.

Q: How much performance is lost when moving from 1080p to 4K at High settings?

A: The average frame rate drops from 105.6 FPS at 1920x1080 to 41.9 FPS at 3840x2160, which represents a decrease of roughly 60%. The 4K result is well below the playable threshold.

Q: Which settings should be avoided at 1440p and 4K?

A: At 2560x1440, Ultra should be avoided because it averages 51.2 FPS. At 3840x2160, Medium, High, and Ultra should all be avoided, as their averages range from 31.1 to 51.4 FPS.

Q: Does the Ryzen 5 7600 hold back the RTX 2070 SUPER in this game?

A: The benchmark data does not isolate individual component bottlenecks, but the CPU's average benchmark score of 26324 places it in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, while the GPU's average score of 20282 places it in the 65th percentile. The measured FPS results show the combination scales predictably with resolution and preset changes, suggesting no unusual limitation.

How This Combo Ranks

The database ranks this specific CPU and GPU combination at 2131 out of 3700 tested combos for Evolve, placing it in the lower-middle portion of the field. That ranking reflects the GPU's age and position rather than the CPU's capability. The Ryzen 5 7600 sits in the 78th percentile of all CPUs with an average benchmark score of 26324, and its nearest rivals are the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX (26274, 0.2% slower), AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (26402, 0.3% faster), Intel Core i9-11900KF (26212, 0.4% slower), and AMD Ryzen 5 8540U (26187, 0.5% slower). The CPU is effectively tied with these parts, so it is not the limiting factor.

The RTX 2070 SUPER, by contrast, sits in the 65th percentile of all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 20282. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M (20480, 1% faster), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile (20534, 1.2% faster), Intel Arc B570 (20556, 1.3% faster), and Intel Arc A750 (20582, 1.5% faster). The GPU is competitive with these parts, but none of them are modern high-end cards. The combo's overall rank of 2131 out of 3700 suggests that while the CPU is strong for its class, the GPU limits the system's standing in Evolve specifically.

In practical terms, the combo ranks better in raw CPU benchmarks than it does in this game's measured FPS, which points to the GPU as the primary constraint at higher resolutions and presets. At 1080p, the combination performs far better than its overall rank suggests, but at 4K it falls behind many newer GPU pairings.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Evolve, but the experience depends heavily on resolution and preset choices. At 1920x1080, every preset clears the 60 FPS playable threshold: Low averages 175.7 FPS, Medium 136.7 FPS, High 105.6 FPS, and Ultra 72.8 FPS. This is the only resolution where Ultra is viable, and it offers a comfortable margin above the threshold.

At 2560x1440, High settings are the best playable option with an average of 74.6 FPS. Low and Medium also clear 60 FPS with averages of 119.4 and 95.1 FPS respectively, but Ultra falls short at 51.2 FPS. Players targeting 1440p should stick with High or lower to maintain smooth gameplay.

At 3840x2160, only Low settings are playable, averaging 69.4 FPS. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below the threshold with averages of 51.4, 41.9, and 31.1 FPS. The verdict is clear: 4K requires significant quality sacrifices, and even then the margin above 60 FPS is slim.

The database's playable threshold is set at 60 FPS, and this combination meets it at 1080p across all presets, at 1440p through High, and at 4K only on Low.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data shows that resolution scaling has a much larger impact on frame rates than preset changes alone, which indicates the GPU is the dominant factor in this game. At 1080p, the jump from Low to Ultra costs roughly 103 FPS (from 175.7 to 72.8), but the jump from 1080p to 4K at the same preset costs even more. For example, at High settings, moving from 1920x1080 to 3840x2160 drops the average from 105.6 to 41.9 FPS, a reduction of 63.7 FPS. The GPU's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth are likely being saturated at higher resolutions, as the frame rate drops proportionally more with resolution than with preset changes.

The CPU's role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and lower presets. At 1080p Low, the system averages 175.7 FPS, which is high enough that the Ryzen 5 7600's single-thread and multi-thread performance (3dmark single-thread score of 999, 3dmark max threads score of 6503) may be relevant to maintaining those frame rates. However, the CPU's nearest rivals all score within 0.5% of its average benchmark score, so there is no evidence that the CPU is a bottleneck in this pairing.

At 1440p and 4K, the GPU's limitations become clear. The RTX 2070 SUPER's average benchmark score of 20282 places it in the 65th percentile, and its nearest rivals are all within 1.5% of its score. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra (31.1 FPS) and 4K High (41.9 FPS) suggest that the GPU is the primary constraint, as the CPU's strong benchmark scores would not explain such low frame rates if the workload were CPU-bound.

In summary, the data indicates that the GPU is the limiting component at 1440p and 4K, while the CPU is sufficient to feed the GPU at 1080p. Players who want higher frame rates at 4K would need a stronger GPU, while the Ryzen 5 7600 is not shown to be a bottleneck in any of the measured scenarios.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, Ultra is the best setting, with an average of 72.8 FPS. This is the most demanding preset that stays above the 60 FPS threshold, and it provides a 12.8 FPS margin of safety.

At 2560x1440, High is the best setting, with an average of 74.6 FPS. This preset is significantly more demanding than Medium (95.1 FPS) but still clears the threshold comfortably. Ultra falls below 60 FPS, so it is not recommended.

At 3840x2160, Low is the only playable setting, with an average of 69.4 FPS. This is the least demanding preset, and it just clears the threshold. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall below 60 FPS, with averages of 51.4, 41.9, and 31.1 FPS respectively.

For players who prioritize visual quality over raw frame rates, the 1080p Ultra setting offers the best balance, as it maintains a solid average while maxing out the game's preset options. At 1440p, High is the practical ceiling, and at 4K, players must accept Low settings to stay playable.
