Evolve

Similar Performance Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 sits in a tightly packed performance cluster. Its average benchmark score of 25,517 places it within 0.1% of the Intel Xeon D-2752TER (25,530), and within 0.1% of the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H (25,550). The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U trails by just 0.1% (25,485), while the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U is 0.3% ahead (25,446). The differences are negligible, meaning any of these CPUs would deliver nearly identical frame pacing in Evolve, assuming the GPU is not the limiting factor. The Ryzen 7 5700 ranks in the 78th percentile among all CPUs, so it is a solid mid-to-upper tier processor for this title.

For the AMD Radeon RX 570, the nearest rivals show a similar story of tight grouping. The RX 6800M averages 28,874, only 0.4% ahead of the RX 570's 28,766. The AMD Radeon R9 M295X scores 28,580, which is 0.7% behind. The RX 470 sits 0.8% ahead at 28,996, and the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 8000 trails by 1.2% with 28,421. The RX 570 holds the 74th percentile among all GPUs. In practical terms, swapping to any of these four alternatives would produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve, with differences well under 2%. The RX 570's closest match is arguably the RX 470, given the same architectural family, though the recorded data does not confirm identical clock behavior.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data across resolutions reveals a clear pattern: the RX 570 is the dominant bottleneck in Evolve, not the Ryzen 7 5700. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the system achieves 75.9 FPS. Dropping to Medium reduces that to 59.1 FPS, a 22% decrease. High settings yield 45.9 FPS, and Ultra falls to 30.3 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 1080p is a 60% performance penalty, which is far too steep to be explained by CPU limitations. The Ryzen 7 5700's 8 cores and 16 threads are more than sufficient for a 2015-era FPS.

At 2560x1440, the same pattern holds but with lower absolute numbers. Low settings produce 51.1 FPS, Medium 41.4 FPS, High 28.9 FPS, and Ultra 21.9 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra here is 57%, similar to 1080p. At 3840x2160, the GPU is clearly overwhelmed: Low gives 29.3 FPS, Medium 25.2 FPS, High 19.6 FPS, and Ultra 11.2 FPS. The resolution scaling from 1080p Low (75.9 FPS) to 1440p Low (51.1 FPS) is a 33% drop, and from 1440p Low to 4K Low (29.3 FPS) is another 43% drop. These are classic GPU-bound behaviors. The CPU's role is secondary; it only matters at 1080p Low where the frame rate exceeds 70 FPS, and even there the GPU still has headroom.

The verdict is straightforward: in Evolve, the RX 570 dictates performance at every resolution and preset. Upgrading the CPU would yield almost no benefit, while upgrading the GPU would provide immediate gains. The Ryzen 7 5700's 3DMark scores, such as 6,628 in the 16-thread test and 901 in single-thread, confirm it has ample compute for this game's logic and AI.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system performs as follows:

• Low: 75.9 FPS average
• Medium: 59.1 FPS average
• High: 45.9 FPS average
• Ultra: 30.3 FPS average

The jump from Low to Medium is 16.8 FPS, a meaningful step. Medium to High drops 13.2 FPS, and High to Ultra drops another 15.6 FPS. The step from Medium to Ultra is a 48.7% loss, indicating the Ultra preset is extremely demanding on the RX 570's 4 GB of GDDR5 memory and 2,048 shading units.

At 2560x1440:

• Low: 51.1 FPS average
• Medium: 41.4 FPS average
• High: 28.9 FPS average
• Ultra: 21.9 FPS average

Here, Low is the only preset that approaches playable territory, but it still falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium is 18.9% slower than Low, High is 43.4% slower than Low, and Ultra is 57.1% slower than Low. The RX 570's 224.0 GB/s memory bandwidth is insufficient for 1440p at higher presets.

At 3840x2160:

• Low: 29.3 FPS average
• Medium: 25.2 FPS average
• High: 19.6 FPS average
• Ultra: 11.2 FPS average

No preset at 4K clears 30 FPS. The delta between Low and Ultra is 61.8%, and even Low is only 29.3 FPS, which is far below the 60 FPS threshold. The RX 570's 4 GB VRAM is likely spilling into system memory at this resolution, causing the severe drop.

Min and max FPS values are not recorded in the database, so only average frame rates are available for analysis.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Evolve? The recorded data says yes, but only at 1920x1080 with Low settings. The verdict by resolution is explicit:

• 3840x2160: No playable settings. The best is Low at 29.3 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold.
• 2560x1440: No playable settings. Low reaches 51.1 FPS, but that is still under 60 FPS.
• 1920x1080: Playable only at Low, with 75.9 FPS average. Medium is 59.1 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS bar by 0.9 FPS.

For 1080p gamers, the answer is a qualified yes. You can run Evolve smoothly at 1080p Low, and you have a narrow miss at Medium. For 1440p or 4K, this combination is not viable for a 60 FPS experience. The RX 570's age (released in 2017) and 4 GB VRAM are the limiting factors. The Ryzen 7 5700 is not the problem; it is a modern 8-core CPU with a 78th percentile ranking. The GPU's 74th percentile ranking is respectable for its class, but Evolve's Ultra preset is simply too heavy for it at higher resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3,700 tested combinations in the database, this specific pairing of the Ryzen 7 5700 and RX 570 ranks 3,610th in Evolve. That places it in the bottom 2.4% of all tested combos. The rank is low because the GPU is an older mid-range part, and Evolve is a demanding title at higher presets. The combo does not even clear the 60 FPS threshold at 1440p Low, which is a typical baseline for many modern systems. This ranking reflects the GPU's limitations more than the CPU's, as the Ryzen 7 5700's nearest rivals all score within 0.3% of each other, indicating a strong CPU that is being held back.

In context, the 3,610th rank means most other combinations in the database deliver better frame rates in Evolve. However, the ranking is not a death sentence: at 1080p Low, the system does hit 75.9 FPS, which is playable. The low rank is driven by the inability to handle higher presets or resolutions, not by a fundamental failure to run the game.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Evolve at 60 FPS on a 1920x1080 monitor?

A: Yes, but only with Low settings. The recorded average at 1080p Low is 75.9 FPS. Medium settings average 59.1 FPS, which misses the 60 FPS threshold.

Q: What is the best resolution for this combination?

A: 1920x1080 is the only resolution where any preset clears 60 FPS. At 2560x1440, the highest average is 51.1 FPS on Low, and at 3840x2160, the highest is 29.3 FPS on Low.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the bottleneck in Evolve?

A: The GPU is the clear bottleneck. The RX 570's frame rates drop by 60% from Low to Ultra at 1080p, and by 62% at 4K, while the Ryzen 7 5700's nearest CPU rivals all score within 0.3% of each other, indicating the CPU has ample headroom.

Q: How does the RX 570 compare to its nearest rivals in average benchmark score?

A: The RX 570 scores 28,766. The RX 6800M is 0.4% faster (28,874), the R9 M295X is 0.7% slower (28,580), the RX 470 is 0.8% faster (28,996), and the Quadro RTX 8000 is 1.2% slower (28,421). None of these differences would change playability in Evolve.

Q: What is the average FPS at 2560x1440 with High settings?

A: The recorded average is 28.9 FPS. This is not playable for a 60 FPS target.

Q: Does the Ryzen 7 5700 rank well among all CPUs?

A: Yes, it is in the 78th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 25,517. Its nearest rival, the Xeon D-2752TER, is only 0.1% different.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset is playable. The highest average is Low at 29.3 FPS, which is far below 60 FPS. The database records no best settings for this resolution.

At 2560x1440, no preset is playable. Low averages 51.1 FPS, which is the closest to the threshold but still misses it. No best settings are recorded.

At 1920x1080, the only playable preset is Low, with an average of 75.9 FPS. Medium averages 59.1 FPS, which is technically below the 60 FPS threshold, so it cannot be recommended as a playable setting. The database confirms Low as the best settings for this resolution.

For users willing to tolerate slightly sub-60 frame rates, Medium at 1080p is close, but the strict threshold of 60 FPS is only met by Low. The data does not record min or max FPS, so there is no information on frame-time consistency. However, the average of 75.9 FPS at 1080p Low provides a comfortable margin above the threshold, leaving room for occasional dips without dropping below 60 FPS in most scenes.
