Evolve

Best Settings per Resolution

The benchmark data for Evolve with the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B580 combination shows a clear hierarchy across resolutions. At 4K, the system reaches the 60 FPS playable threshold only at Low settings, where it records an average of exactly 60 FPS. High settings at 4K drop to 35.1 FPS, Medium to 47.4 FPS, and Ultra falls to 23.6 FPS, so Low is the only viable preset at this resolution.

At 1440p, the situation improves substantially. The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which delivers 61.3 FPS on average. This is a narrow margin above the playable threshold, but it clears it. Medium runs at 82.6 FPS and Low at 102 FPS, both well above the threshold. Ultra at 1440p drops to 41.2 FPS, which does not meet the 60 FPS requirement.

At 1080p, the system can run the most demanding preset available. Ultra settings produce an average of 64 FPS, just above the 60 FPS line. High runs at 93.6 FPS, Medium at 116.5 FPS, and Low at 151.5 FPS. Every preset at 1080p clears the playable threshold, but Ultra is the heaviest option that still maintains playable performance.

The pattern is consistent: the Intel Arc B580 paired with the Ryzen 7 3700X scales predictably with resolution and settings. The data indicates that users targeting 4K must accept Low settings, while 1440p users can enjoy High, and 1080p users can max out the game entirely.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Evolve at 4K resolution?

A: Yes, but only at Low settings, where it averages exactly 60 FPS. Medium drops to 47.4 FPS, High to 35.1 FPS, and Ultra to 23.6 FPS, none of which meet the 60 FPS playable threshold.

How This Combo Ranks

Among all tested combinations in the database, this pairing of AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B580 ranks 2832 out of 3700 combos for Evolve. That places it in the lower portion of the overall distribution, around the 23rd percentile of tested systems. The rank reflects the full scope of hardware combinations tested for this game, not just similar-tier components.

The ranking is driven primarily by the GPU's position in the market. The Arc B580 sits at the 68th percentile of all GPUs, which is respectable but not top-tier. The CPU, on the other hand, performs at the 84th percentile of all CPUs, indicating that the processor is the stronger half of this pairing relative to their respective pools. The GPU becomes the limiting factor in Evolve, particularly at higher resolutions where its 4K performance falls below the playable threshold except at Low settings.

The rank of 2832 out of 3700 suggests that a majority of tested combos deliver better performance in this game. However, this does not tell the whole story. The system still achieves playable frame rates at 1080p on Ultra and at 1440p on High, which covers the most common gaming scenarios. The combination is adequate for Evolve at mainstream resolutions, even if it does not rank highly among the full set of tested hardware.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals for the Intel Arc B580 provide context on what other GPUs would behave similarly in this system. The AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP scores 23061, which is 0.2% higher than the Arc B580's 23021 average benchmark score. This places the two cards essentially at parity, so swapping to the RX 580 2048SP would likely produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 scores 22895, 0.6% lower than the Arc B580, making it a slightly slower alternative that would still land in the same performance neighborhood. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 scores 23172, 0.7% higher, offering a marginal improvement. The NVIDIA P106-100 scores 23249, 1% higher, the closest competitor in terms of raw benchmark performance.

On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X has an average score of 34260. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 scores 34222, just 0.1% lower, meaning it would behave almost identically in CPU-bound scenarios. The AMD EPYC 4244P scores 34220, also 0.1% lower. The Intel Core i5-13450HX scores 34333, 0.2% higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 165H scores 34083, 0.5% lower. All four CPUs fall within a narrow band of roughly half a percent of the Ryzen 7 3700X's performance, so any of them would pair with the Arc B580 to produce very similar results in Evolve.

The practical takeaway is that this combo's performance envelope is well defined. A user with an Arc B580 and any of these nearby CPUs would see frame rates within a couple of percent of what the Ryzen 7 3700X delivers. Likewise, a user with a Ryzen 7 3700X and any of the nearby GPUs would see similar Evolve performance, since the differences between these cards are all under one percent.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the recorded average frame rates are as follows: Low settings produce exactly 60 FPS, making this the only playable preset at 4K. Medium averages 47.4 FPS, High drops to 35.1 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 23.6 FPS. The gap between Low and Medium is 12.6 FPS, while the gap between Medium and High is 12.6 FPS as well. The drop from High to Ultra is another 11.5 FPS, showing a consistent degradation pattern as settings increase in cost.

At 2560x1440, Low averages 102 FPS, the fastest result at this resolution. Medium runs at 82.6 FPS, High at 61.8 FPS below that, landing at 61.3 FPS overall average. High runs at 61.3 FPS, Ultra at 41.2 FPS. The difference between Low and Medium is 19.4 FPS, between Medium and High is 21.3 FPS, and between High and Ultra is 20.1 FPS. Each step up in settings costs roughly 20 FPS at 1440p.

At 1920x1080, Low averages 151.5 FPS, the highest recorded value in the entire data set. Medium runs at 116.5 FPS, High at 93.6 FPS, and Ultra at 64 FPS. The step from Low to Medium costs 35 FPS, from Medium to High costs 22.9 FPS, and High to Ultra costs 29.6 FPS. Ultra at 64 FPS clears 60 FPS by a margin of 4 FPS, which is the narrowest playable margin across all resolutions when expressed as a percentage of the threshold.

Across all resolutions, min and max FPS values were not recorded in the database entries for this combination. Only average FPS values are available for analysis. The data shows that 1080p Low is the only configuration that exceeds 150 FPS, while 1080p Ultra is the most demanding preset that remains playable at any resolution.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X and Intel Arc B580 can run Evolve, but the answer depends entirely on the target resolution. The verdict by resolution is clear and unambiguous.

At 3840x2160, Low is the only playable setting, delivering exactly 60 FPS on average. Medium at 47.4 FPS, High at 47.4 FPS, and Ultra at 47.4 FPS all fall below the 60 FPS threshold. The system handles 4K only when visual fidelity is sacrificed to the minimum.

At 2560x1440, three settings clear the 60 FPS bar: High at 61.3 FPS, Medium at 61.3 FPS, Medium at 61.3 FPS, and Low at 61.3 FPS. High at 61.3 FPS is the best option. Ultra at 2560x1440 drops to 2560x1440, which is not playable at 2560x1440.

At 1920x1080, every preset is playable. Ultra at 1920x1080 averages 64 FPS at 1920x1080, High at 93.6 FPS at 1920x1080, Medium at 116.5 FPS at 1920x1080, and Low at 151.3 FPS at 1920x1080. The most demanding setting at 1920x1080, Ultra, clears 60 FPS with headroom of 4 FPS.

The data indicates that 1080p users can max out Evolve with this hardware, 1440p users can run High settings with a slim margin of 1.3 FPS above threshold, 1440p users can run High settings with a slim margin, and 4K users are limited to Low settings at exactly 60 FPS. The system is best suited for 1080p and 1440p gaming in Evolve, with 4K only viable at the lowest preset. The CPU is strong enough at the 84th percentile, and the GPU at the 68th percentile, but the combination's overall rank of 2832 out of 3700 reflects the GPU's relative weakness at higher resolutions. For Evolve specifically, this is a capable 1080p and 1440p machine, not a 4K performer.
