Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 paired with the Intel Arc B570 is a mid-range desktop combination aimed at 1080p and 1440p gaming. For the 2015 FPS title Evolve, benchmark data shows this combo delivers a smooth 60+ FPS experience at 1080p on High settings, and remains playable at 1440p on Medium, while 4K is off the table.

How This Combo Ranks

The data places this specific CPU+GPU pairing at rank 2971 out of 3700 tested combinations in Evolve, which puts it in the 20th percentile of all combos. This is not a top-tier ranking, but it is important to contextualize that number: the ranking reflects the entire pool of hardware configurations, including far more expensive and powerful setups. The combo sits comfortably in the middle-lower tier, meaning it is outclassed by high-end systems but still offers a legitimate gaming experience at the most common resolutions.

The CPU itself is a solid performer in synthetic benchmarks, scoring 20655 in Cinebench R23 multicore and 2916 in single-core, with a percentile rank of 78 against all CPUs. The GPU, meanwhile, scores 14195 in Passmark G3D and 96844 in Geekbench Vulkan, placing it in the 65th percentile against all GPUs. When combined, the bottleneck profile shifts depending on workload. The CPU is clearly the stronger component relative to its peers, while the GPU is more average. This imbalance shows up in Evolve: at 1080p Low, the combo hits 137 FPS average, but that number falls to 58 FPS at Ultra, indicating the GPU is the primary limiter when graphical demands increase.

In absolute terms, a rank of 2971 out of 3700 means roughly 19% of tested systems perform better, but the practical takeaway is simpler: this combo is built for 1080p and entry-level 1440p, not for high-refresh or 4K gaming.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU's nearestRivals, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 sits within a tight performance band of other processors. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER is 0.1% faster, the AMD Ryzen 5 7640U is 0.1% slower, the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H is 0.1% faster, and the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U is 0.3% slower. These are all within noise-level margins of each other, meaning any of these CPUs would produce virtually identical frame rates in Evolve when paired with the same GPU. The practical difference between them is zero for this game.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B570 has four nearestRivals with similarly negligible deltas. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile is 0.1% faster, the Intel Arc A750 is 0.1% slower, the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M is 0.4% faster, and the AMD Radeon R9 M390X is 0.5% slower. The Arc A750 is the most notable comparison here, as it is a desktop card from the same Intel family, and the data shows the B570 trades blows with it at the margin. The RTX 3070 Mobile being this close is also telling — it suggests the B570 offers performance roughly equivalent to a mobile version of a previous-generation high-end NVIDIA card.

For a user with this combo, swapping the CPU to any of the listed rivals would not change Evolve performance in any measurable way. The same applies to the GPU: choosing an Arc A750 or an RTX 3070 Mobile would yield essentially the same results. The key takeaway is that the combo's performance is stable and predictable — it is neither a performance outlier nor a laggard within its immediate hardware neighborhood.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data reveals a clear shift in which component dominates Evolve as resolution increases. At 1080p, the combo achieves 137 FPS on Low and 83 FPS on High, but the CPU is still feeding the GPU adequately. The gap between Low and High at 1080p is 54 FPS, which is a 65% drop — this is a GPU-driven change. However, the more telling comparison is across resolutions at the same settings.

At Medium settings, the combo delivers 106 FPS at 1080p, 71 FPS at 1440p, and 40 FPS at 4K. The scaling from 1080p to 1440p is a 33% drop, and from 1440p to 4K is a 44% drop. This is classic GPU-bound behavior: as pixel count increases, the GPU's fillrate and bandwidth become the limiting factors. The Intel Arc B570 has a 380.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 80 ROPs, which is modest for 4K workloads but adequate for 1440p.

Conversely, the CPU's role is most apparent at the lowest resolution and settings. At 1080p Low, the combo hits 137 FPS, but the CPU's Passmark multithread score of 24303 and 8-core/16-thread configuration suggest it can handle more. The CPU bottleneck would only appear if the GPU were significantly faster. Given that the GPU is the weaker partner, the CPU is rarely the limiting factor in this pairing. At 4K Low, the combo still manages 52 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, but that is still a GPU limitation — the CPU is not preventing higher frames at that point.

In short: the GPU carries the load as resolution climbs, while the CPU has ample headroom. If a user upgraded the GPU, the Ryzen 7 5700 would likely support higher frame rates without becoming a bottleneck. At the current configuration, the GPU is the performance ceiling.

The Verdict

Yes, this PC can run Evolve — but only at certain resolutions and presets. The verdictByResolution data is explicit about what clears the 60 FPS playable threshold.

At 3840x2160 (4K), no settings are playable. The best result is 52 FPS on Low, which falls short of 60 FPS. High produces 32 FPS, Medium 40 FPS, and Ultra only 22 FPS. None of these are acceptable for a smooth experience.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), two settings clear the threshold: Low at 92 FPS and Medium at 71 FPS. High falls just short at 56 FPS, and Ultra drops to 39 FPS. The best playable setting is Medium, which averages 71 FPS with a minimum of 60 FPS — this is the highest preset that maintains a 60 FPS floor.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), three settings are playable: Low at 137 FPS, Medium at 106 FPS, and High at 83 FPS. Ultra averages 58 FPS, which is below the threshold. The best playable setting is High, with an average of 83 FPS.

The practical verdict is straightforward: this combo is a 1080p gaming system for Evolve, with a usable 1440p option on Medium. 4K is not viable. Users who prioritize frame rate should stick to 1080p High, while those with a 1440p monitor can enjoy the game at Medium with a solid 71 FPS average.
