Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 3700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a combination that heavily favors the graphics card. The CPU, while a capable 8-core, 16-thread processor from the 3000 series based on Zen 2 architecture, is a generation old, whereas the RTX 5090 is the flagship of the GeForce 50-series. In a game like Evolve, a 2015 FPS title, the data shows that this pairing delivers exceptional frame rates, with the GPU clearly being the dominant factor at higher resolutions and the CPU becoming more relevant at 1080p. The recorded performance places this combo at rank 320 out of 3700 tested configurations, putting it in the top percentile for this game.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The database places the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X at the 84th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 34260. Its nearest rivals in terms of aggregate performance are extremely close, with deltas of less than one percent. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 and AMD EPYC 4244P both score within 0.1 percent of the 3700X, while the Intel Core i5-13450HX is a mere 0.2 percent behind. The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H trails by 0.5 percent. For gaming, this means any of these alternatives would deliver a nearly identical experience, with the CPU not being the bottleneck in most Evolve scenarios.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, sitting at the 92nd percentile among all GPUs, has an average benchmark score of 79842. Its nearest rivals, however, are notably older and lower-tier hardware. The NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB is only 0.3 percent ahead, and the Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB is 0.6 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT is 1.1 percent ahead, while the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X is 1.4 percent behind. These deltas are all within 1.4 percent, meaning that in raw compute terms, these professional and mobile parts are surprisingly close to the RTX 5090 in aggregate scores, though they lack the modern feature set and driver optimizations for gaming.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data covers twelve scenarios across three resolutions and four quality presets. The minimum and maximum FPS values are not recorded in the database, so the analysis relies on average frames per second.

At 3840x2160, the system delivers an average of 150 FPS on Low, 114.5 FPS on Medium, 91.3 FPS on High, and 61.8 FPS on Ultra. The drop from High to Ultra is significant, a reduction of 29.5 FPS, while the gap from Low to Ultra is 88.2 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the frame rates are substantially higher. Low averages 204.7 FPS, Medium hits 184.8 FPS on High, and 158.1 FPS on Ultra. The scaling from 4K to 1440p at Ultra is a jump of 49.2 FPS, from 61.8 to 111.

At 1920x1440, performance peaks. The system reaches 233.5 FPS on Low, 213.8 FPS on Medium, 196.5 FPS on High, and 161.2 FPS on Ultra. The difference between 1440p Ultra and 1080p Ultra is a gain of 50.2 FPS, showing a clear trend towards CPU limitation at lower resolutions.

Across all presets, the pattern is consistent, each resolution shows a clear progression, with the delta between Low and Ultra at 4K being 88.2 FPS, at 1440p it is 93.7 FPS, and at 1080p it is a 72.3 FPS difference.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear, this PC can run Evolve at every resolution and preset tested. According to the verdict data, all four settings at each resolution, High, Low, Ultra, Medium, are playable, meaning all clear the 60 FPS threshold. At 3840x2160, the best setting is Ultra with an average FPS of 61.8 FPS, which is just above the playable line. At 2560x1440, Ultra is also best, with a comfortable 111 FPS. At 1080p, the system reaches 161.2 FPS at Ultra. The data confirms that only at 4K Ultra does the system approach the limit, but it does not cross it.

The recorded frame rates at 4K Ultra, 61.8 FPS, are a clear indicator that the GPU is still doing most of the work. The system is not a 60 FPS locked experience at 4K Ultra, but it is a stable one.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data on scaling shows a distinct shift in workload. At 3840x2160, the GPU is the primary driver. The difference between 4K Ultra and 1080p Ultra is a significant 99.4 FPS, from 61.8 to 161.2. This heavy scaling with resolution indicates the GPU is the bottleneck at 4K. The RTX 5090 is the component producing the frame rate, and the CPU is less involved.

At 2560x1440, the balance begins to change. The system hits 111 FPS at Ultra, which is a strong number. The scaling from 1440p to 1080p at Ultra is a gain of 50.2 FPS, from 111 to 161.2. This shows that as resolution drops, the CPU starts to matter more. The Ryzen 7 3700X has more influence at 1440p than at 4K, but it is still not the main constraint.

At 1920x1080, the CPU role becomes more pronounced. The 1080p Low setting yields 233.5 FPS, while 1080p Ultra yields 161.2 FPS. The delta between low and ultra at 1080p is 72.3 FPS. This is a smaller gap than at 4K, but the absolute numbers are high, indicating the GPU is still capable. The CPU is having a larger impact on the frame rate at 1080p, but the system is never limited by the CPU. The data indicates the CPU and GPU roles shift, but the RTX 5090 is the dominant part at all resolutions, with the 3700X providing enough throughput to feed it.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average FPS of 61.8 FPS. High is also above 60 FPS at 91.3 FPS, Medium at 114.5 FPS, so all four are playable. The best settings recommendation per the database is Ultra, and the data shows the system achieves 61.8 FPS at that preset.

At 2560x1440, the best setting is Ultra, with an average FPS of 111 FPS at that setting. High runs at 158.1 FPS, and Low runs at 204.7 FPS, all above the 60 FPS threshold. The database recommends Ultra.

At 1920x1080, the best setting is Ultra, with an average FPS of 161.2 FPS. The system is above 60 FPS at Ultra, High at 196.5, Medium at 213.8, all clear 60 FPS. The best setting is the highest preset, and the FPS at best is 161.2.
