A: At 2560x1440, Low averages 54 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, Medium averages 42 FPS, and Ultra averages 23 FPS. None of these settings reach the 60 FPS threshold, so no preset is playable at this resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The recorded data shows a clear pattern where the Intel Arc B370 is the limiting factor across all resolutions. The GPU has a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1184, placing it at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are legacy parts from the HD 5000 and HD 7000 series, which indicates the GPU is performing far below modern discrete graphics hardware. The CPU, by contrast, is a strong desktop part with a 79th percentile ranking among all CPUs, with a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 15236 and a single-core score of 1965.

At 3840x2160, the frame rates are extremely low across all settings. Low settings average 31 FPS, Medium averages 24 FPS with a minimum of 20 FPS and maximum of 27 FPS, High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 13 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is only 18 FPS, which is a narrow range. This suggests the GPU is fully saturated at 4K regardless of the workload. At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds. Low averages 54 FPS, Medium averages 42 FPS with a minimum of 35 FPS and maximum of 48 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 23 FPS. The step from Low to Ultra at 1440p is 31 FPS, which represents a wider spread of performance across settings.

At 1920x1080, the role of the CPU becomes more pronounced in the frame rate differences between settings. Low averages 80 FPS, Medium averages 62 FPS with a minimum of 53 FPS and maximum of 72 FPS, High averages 49 FPS, and Ultra averages 34 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is 46 FPS, which is a much larger spread than at higher resolutions. This wider range indicates that at 1080p, the CPU is feeding the GPU enough data for the graphics settings to matter more, while at 4K the GPU is the bottleneck at every preset.

The data suggests that for this specific combination, the GPU is the dominant factor at 1440p and 4K, while at 1080p the GPU is still the main limiter but the CPU is providing enough headroom for settings to scale meaningfully. The CPU has a single-thread 3DMark score of 1060 and a PassMark single-thread score of 4135, which are strong numbers for a desktop processor, so it is unlikely to hold back the GPU at lower resolutions.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers three resolutions with four settings each, and the results are recorded as average, minimum, and maximum where available. At 3840x2160, the results are as follows. Low settings average 31 FPS. Medium settings average 24 FPS, with a minimum of 20 FPS and a maximum of 27 FPS. High settings average 19 FPS. Ultra settings average 13 FPS. None of these averages reach the 60 FPS threshold, and the best average at 4K is 31 FPS at Low settings.

At 2560x1440, the results are as follows. Low settings average 54 FPS. Medium settings average 42 FPS, with a minimum of 35 FPS and a maximum of 48 FPS. High settings average 33 FPS. Ultra settings average 23 FPS. The best average at this resolution is 54 FPS at Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. No preset at 1440p clears 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, the results show the highest performance of any resolution tested. Low settings average 80 FPS. Medium settings average 62 FPS, with a minimum of 53 FPS and maximum of 72 FPS. High settings average 49 FPS. Ultra settings average 34 FPS. At 1080p, two settings clear the 60 FPS threshold, Low and Medium, with Medium being the highest preset that stays above 60 FPS. The combination of resolutions and settings shows a consistent trend where the frame rate drops as resolution increases, with the gap between settings widening at lower resolutions. The data is measured directly from our database, and every average, minimum, and maximum values are taken from the recorded measurements.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and Intel Arc B370 combination ranks 3414 out of 3700 tested combos in Evolve. This places the combo in the lower quartile of all tested configurations. The GPU percentile and benchmark scores support this low ranking. The Arc B370 scores 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and sits at the 5th percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rival is the ATI Radeon HD 5770, scoring 1190, placing the Arc B370 0.5% behind it. The Arc B370 also trails the AMD Radeon HD 7650M by 0.7%, meaning the Arc B370 is 0.7% behind that rival's score of 1192, and the Arc B370 is 0.2% ahead of the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570, which scores 1186.

The CPU is not the source of the low rank. The Ryzen 5 7600X has an average benchmark score of 27636 and a percentile rank of 79 among all CPUs. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800, scores 27535, putting the 7600X 0.4% ahead. The Ryzen 5 8500GE scores 27712, putting the 7600X 0.3% behind. The Ryzen 7 5800 and Core i5-12600K scores are 27578, with the 7600X 0.2% ahead of both. This CPU is a strong performer that places in the upper percentile.

The database shows that the GPU is the limiting component for this combination. The measured FPS at 4K Ultra is 13 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra is 34 FPS, which is a significant drop in performance when compared to the CPU's capabilities. The rank of 3414 out of 3700 combos means the combo is below the median of tested combinations, and the fact that no 1440p or 4K preset reaches 60 FPS reinforces the GPU bottleneck. The CPU is clearly capable of handling the game, but the GPU does not have enough performance to push frame rates to the playable threshold.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows that this PC can run Evolve at 60 FPS, but only at 1920x1080 and only at specific settings. The verdict by resolution is clear. At 3840x2160, no settings are playable. The best average is 31 FPS at Low settings, and Ultra averages only 13 FPS. At 2560x1440, no settings are playable. The best average is 54 FPS at Low settings, which is 6 FPS below the 60 FPS threshold. At 1920x1080, Low and Medium settings are playable. Low averages 80 FPS, and Medium averages 62 FPS. High and Ultra at 1080p are not playable, with averages of 49 FPS and 34 FPS respectively.

The best settings at 1080p are Medium, with an average FPS of 62. This is the highest preset that stays at or above 60 FPS. The data shows that this is not a high-performance gaming system for Evolve. The Intel Arc B370's low percentile and the measured FPS across all resolutions indicate that the system is better suited for 1080p gaming at lower settings. The 60 FPS threshold is only cleared at 1080p Low and Medium, and the average FPS at 1080p Medium is 62, which is a narrow margin above the threshold. The minimum FPS at 1080p Medium is 53, so the frame rate can dip below 60 FPS during gameplay, but the average is above the threshold. The verdict is that this PC can run Evolve at 1080p with Medium settings, but it is not possible to achieve 60 FPS at higher resolutions or at High and Ultra settings at 1080p.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no settings are playable. The best average FPS is 31 at Low settings, but this is far below the 60 FPS threshold. The data shows no playable settings at 4K for this combination.

At 2560x1440, no settings are playable. The best average FPS is 54 at Low settings, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. The game cannot reach 60 FPS at 1440p with this hardware.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium settings. The average FPS at Medium is 62, with a minimum of 53 and a maximum of 72. Low settings also clear the threshold with an average of 80 FPS, but Medium is the highest preset that remains playable. The data shows that High settings average 49 FPS and Ultra average 34 FPS, so both are below the 60 FPS threshold and should not be used for playable frame rates.

For users who want the best visual quality that still maintains 60 FPS at 1080p, Medium settings is the recommended choice. The average of 62 FPS is only 2 FPS above the threshold, so there is a small margin for frame rate drops, as indicated by the minimum of 53 FPS. Low settings provide a larger performance headroom with an 80 FPS average, but the database indicates Medium is the highest playable preset at 1080p. At higher resolutions, the recommendation is to lower the resolution to 1080p and use Medium settings, as no 1440p or 4K preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The measured data shows that this combination is limited by the GPU, and the only path to 60 FPS is at 1080p with Medium settings or lower.
