Evolve

# Best Settings per Resolution

The recorded data for Evolve shows a clear performance ceiling for this combination. At 3840x2160, no tested preset reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold. The highest average frame rate recorded at 4K is 34 FPS on Low settings, which falls well short of smooth gameplay. The most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS at each resolution is as follows:

At 1920x1080, the Medium preset delivers an average of 69 FPS, making it the best settings choice that clears the 60 FPS bar. Low settings at 1080p pushes further to 89 FPS on average, but Medium is the highest preset that stays above the threshold. At 2560x1440, the Low preset averages exactly 60 FPS, which is the only playable option at this resolution. The Medium preset at 1440p drops to 46 FPS average, so it cannot be recommended for 60 FPS gameplay. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches 60 FPS; the closest is Low at 34 FPS average, followed by Medium at 26 FPS, High at 21 FPS, and Ultra at 14 FPS.

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for Evolve covers four presets across three resolutions. The database records average FPS values precisely, and for Medium settings at 2560x1440 and 1920x1080, minFPS and maxFPS values are also listed for Medium at 4K, providing additional frame time detail.

At 1920x1080, Low settings average 89 FPS with no min or max recorded. High settings average 54 FPS with no min or max recorded. Medium settings average 69 FPS, with min 59 FPS and max 79 FPS recorded. Ultra settings average 89 FPS on Low. High settings average 54 FPS, min 59 FPS, max 79 FPS. Ultra settings average 37 FPS with no min or max recorded.

At 2560x1440, Low settings average 60 FPS, with no min or max recorded. High settings average 36 FPS, with no min or max recorded. Medium settings average 46 FPS, min 39 FPS, max 53 FPS recorded. Ultra settings average 25 FPS with no min or max recorded.

At 3840x2160, Low settings average 34 FPS, no min or max recorded. Medium settings average 26 FPS, min 22 FPS, max 30 FPS recorded, High settings High settings average 21 FPS, with no min or max recorded. Ultra settings average 14 FPS, no min or max recorded.

The data indicates that the most consistent frame pacing appears at 1920x1080 Medium, where min FPS of 59 is close to the 60 FPS threshold. At 2560x1440 Medium, min FPS drops to 39, showing more significant frame dips. At 3840x2160 Medium, min FPS is 22 and max FPS is 30, a narrow but very low band.

The scaling pattern across resolutions follows expected behavior: lowering resolution consistently increases average FPS across all settings. Lower settings also consistently yields higher average FPS than higher presets at the same resolution, with the largest gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p, where Low averages 89 FPS versus Ultra 37 FPS, a difference of 52 FPS.

The database records no data for any other resolutions or settings beyond these 12 measured configurations, so the full picture of Evolve performance is fully represented by these numbers.

# How This Combo Ranks

The combo rank in the database places this CPU and GPU pairing at 3288 out of 3700 tested combos for Evolve. This position in the bottom 11.2% of all tested configurations, meaning 88.8% of measured combos deliver higher performance in this game. This low rank is consistent with the measured FPS data, which shows the combo struggles at higher presets and resolutions.

The Intel Arc B390 GPU sits at the 9th percentile among all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 1482. This GPU clearly limits the combo's ability to hit 60 FPS at more than the lowest settings. The CPU's percentile at 81st among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 29713, indicates a strong processor, but the pairing with the GPU bottleneck is the deciding factor at 60 FPS.

The measured FPS numbers in the database confirm the rank by showing that the combo reaches 60 FPS only at 2560x1440 Low and 1920x1080 on Low settings. The 1920x1080 Medium runs at 69 FPS, and the 1440p Low runs at 60 FPS exactly. The 4K resolution never reaches 60 FPS across any preset, and the highest 4K average is 34 FPS at Low.

The rank of the 3288th out of 3700 combos in the database indicates that for users seeking high refresh rates on this game, there are many other tested combinations that achieve far better performance headroom. The combo falls behind the top 60 FPS threshold at most settings, and this rank reflects a configuration that requires significant settings reductions to achieve playable frame rate.

The 3288th rank is computed against 3700 total combos, leaving only 412 other combinations ranked below it. This indicates that most tested hardware pairs outperform this setup in Evolve, and the demand for high frame rates at higher settings is not met.

# Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X show that the CPU performance is comparable to other processors in the database rankings. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755GE has an average score of 29656, which is 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 5 9600X's average score of 29713. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868, 0.5% lower. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, and 0.6% lower than the Ryzen 5800XT scores 29879. AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS scores 29955, 0.8% lower. These four rivals all fall within a narrow 1% band of the Ryzen 5 9600X's score, so users with any of these CPUs would expect to see similar frame rates when paired with the same GPU.

For the Intel Arc B390, the nearest rivals are NVIDIA GeForce GT 520MX with an average score of 1463, which is 1.3% lower. NVIDIA GeForce 800M scores 1460, 1.5% lower. NVIDIA GeForce GT 625 OEM scores 1446, 2.5% lower. NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 scores 1443, 2.7% lower. The delta percentages show the Arc B390 is slightly ahead of these competitors, but the differences are minimal, at most 2.7%. This means these GPUs would perform nearly identically to the Arc B390 under same conditions in Evolve.

In terms of playability, the combination of the Ryzen 5 9600X with any of these rival GPUs would lead to similar frame rates and similar settings limitations. The GPU, not the CPU, is the limiting factor for this game, as the CPU ranks in the 81st percentile while the GPU sits at the 9th percentile. So swapping the Ryzen CPU to one of its close rivals would not materially change the measured FPS values, while swapping the Arc B390 for any of its nearest rivals would result in nearly identical performance, based on the recorded scores.

The CPU nearest rivals all fall within 0.8% of the Ryzen 5 9600X's average score, indicating that the CPU choice has minimal impact on game FPS in this configuration. The GPU nearest rivals are all within 2.7% of the Arc B390 score, so the differences in frame rate would be small, at most a few FPS across the settings tested.

# The Verdict

The verdict by resolution from the database is clear. At 3840x2160, there are no playable settings recorded, and the best settings at 4K is null, meaning the combo cannot run Evolve at 60 FPS at this resolution under any preset. At 2560x1440, the playable settings list includes only Low, with an average FPS at best of 60 FPS exactly at Low. At 1920x1440p Low, 60 FPS at best. At 1920x1080, playable settings include Low settings at 89 FPS and Medium settings at 69 FPS, with best settings at Medium at 69 FPS.

At 1440p Low at 60 FPS meets the playable threshold, but 1440p Low settings offers no higher settings options. At 1080p, Medium settings at 60 FPS is playable, and 1080p Low settings at 89 FPS exceeds the threshold. The highest preset that clears 60 FPS at 1080p is Medium at 69 FPS at 1080p Medium.

At 4K, no preset at 60 FPS, at any settings, with the best preset at 4K is not playable. The verdict is that this PC can run Evolve at 1920x1080p at Medium settings, reaching 69 FPS at 1080p Medium, and at 1440p at Low settings at 60 FPS. At 4K, the PC cannot run Evolve at 60 FPS at any setting at 4K, with the best preset at 4K is null, and no playable settings at 4K. This configuration is playable at 1080p Low and Medium, and 1440p Low.
