Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER combination delivers a wide spread of performance in Evolve, depending on how you balance resolution and graphical preset. The recorded data shows this pairing is capable of smooth frame rates at 1080p and 1440p with the right settings, while 4K remains a challenge except at the lowest preset. The CPU sits in the 78th percentile among all tested processors, and the GPU lands in the 62nd percentile, so this is a mid-to-upper tier combination for a game released in early 2015.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, this combo has headroom to spare. With Low settings, the average frame rate reaches 159 FPS, which is well beyond the 60 FPS playable threshold. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 121.5 FPS, still far above what you need for smooth gameplay. High settings produce an average of 98.7 FPS, and even the most demanding Ultra preset keeps the average at 68.5 FPS. Every 1080p preset clears the 60 FPS line, so you can choose based on visual preference rather than worrying about playability.

At 2560x1440, the situation tightens but remains mostly positive. Low settings deliver an average of 105.4 FPS, Medium hits 83.5 FPS, and High manages 63 FPS. These three presets all stay above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset, however, falls to an average of 47.3 FPS, which is below the playable mark. If you want to run 1440p at High, you are right at the edge with 63 FPS, so expect occasional dips below 60 when the action intensifies, though the average itself is acceptable.

At 3840x2160, the picture changes significantly. Low settings produce an average of 60.4 FPS, which is just barely above the playable threshold. Medium drops to 48.2 FPS, High falls to 37.1 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 27.1 FPS. The data shows that 4K is only viable at the Low preset, and even then, you are sitting right at the boundary. Any scene with heavy particle effects or multiple monsters could push the frame rate below 60, so consider this a marginal experience at best.

The minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded in the database, so the analysis relies solely on average values. That said, the pattern across resolutions is clear: this combo scales predictably with resolution and preset, with the biggest gap appearing between 1440p High and 1440p Ultra, and again between 4K Low and 4K Medium.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 has an average benchmark score of 25517. Its nearest rivals in the database are all within a fraction of a percent. The Intel Xeon D-2752TER scores 25530, which is 0.1% lower than the Ryzen 7. The AMD Ryzen 5 7640U scores 25485, putting it 0.1% higher than the Ryzen 7. The AMD Ryzen 5 6600H scores 25550, which is 0.1% lower. The AMD Ryzen 7 5825U scores 25446, 0.3% higher. These deltas are negligible in real-world gaming, so any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically to the Ryzen 7 5700 in Evolve. If you already own one of those alternatives, there is no reason to upgrade for this game.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 18093. Its nearest rivals show similar tiny gaps. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile scores 18159, which is 0.4% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 scores 18189, 0.5% lower. The AMD Radeon RX 460 scores 18373, 1.5% lower, and the Intel Arc A770M scores 18383, 1.6% lower. The RTX 3060 Mobile and Radeon Pro 5700 are the closest matches, so you could expect nearly the same frame rates from those GPUs in Evolve. The RX 460 and Arc A770M are slightly further off but still within a couple of percent, so the practical difference would be a few frames per second at most.

If you pair the Ryzen 7 5700 with any of those GPUs, or pair the RTX 2060 SUPER with any of those CPUs, the measured results in Evolve would be essentially identical. The combination is well balanced, with neither component being a bottleneck in this title.

A: Yes, significantly. At 3840x2160, Low averages 60.4 FPS while Medium drops to 48.2 FPS. That is a 12.2 FPS difference, which is the difference between playable and not playable. The jump from Low to Medium is the largest single-preset penalty in the entire dataset for this combo.

The Verdict

The verdict by resolution is straightforward. At 1920x1080, every preset from Low to Ultra clears 60 FPS, so this PC can run Evolve at max settings with a comfortable margin. At 2560x1440, the High preset is the best playable option at 63 FPS, with Medium and Low also above the threshold, but Ultra falls short at 47.3 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low is playable, averaging 60.4 FPS, while Medium, High, and Ultra all drop below 60.

For a 1080p monitor, this combo is excellent. You can enable Ultra and enjoy the full visual experience without worrying about frame rate. For a 1440p display, the High preset is the sweet spot, giving you most of the visual fidelity while staying above 60 FPS. For 4K, you are restricted to Low, and even that is a marginal pass. If 4K is your target, you would need more GPU horsepower, but for 1080p and 1440p gaming, this hardware is sufficient.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of tested combinations for Evolve, this pairing ranks 2631 out of 3700 combos. That places it in the lower portion of the overall distribution, around the 71st percentile from the bottom. The rank reflects that many other tested systems outperform this one, but it also means roughly 1069 combos perform worse. Given that the game released in early 2015, this rank is not surprising; modern hardware has moved well beyond what was available then.

The rank should be interpreted with context. The CPU and GPU are both mid-tier by today's standards, and Evolve is not an extremely demanding title by modern benchmarks. The measured FPS shows that the combo handles 1080p and 1440p well, so the rank is more about absolute performance compared to top-end systems rather than a statement about playability. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 68.5 FPS, which is perfectly playable, even if other combos push much higher numbers.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the best preset is the most demanding one that still holds an average at or above 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080, that is Ultra. The average there is 68.5 FPS, which gives you a small buffer above the threshold. If you want maximum visual quality, Ultra is the choice, and the 8.5 FPS margin is enough for most scenes. If you prefer a larger safety net, High at 98.7 FPS or Medium at 121.5 FPS are also excellent options, but Ultra is the top preset that remains playable.

At 2560x1440, the best playable preset is High, with an average of 63 FPS. This is a narrow margin, just 3 FPS above the threshold. If you experience frame drops in heavy combat, you may want to step down to Medium at 83.5 FPS for a more stable experience. But if you want the best visuals that still hold 60 FPS on average, High is it.

At 3840x2160, the only playable preset is Low, averaging 60.4 FPS. This is the most marginal result in the entire dataset, with just 0.4 FPS of headroom. The data suggests you should treat 4K Low as the absolute limit of this hardware. Any scene with multiple monsters, explosions, or heavy fog could easily push the frame rate below 60. If 4K is important to you, consider lowering the resolution or accepting that you will be at the edge of playability.

In summary, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700 and RTX 2060 SUPER combo is a capable pairing for Evolve, provided you match settings to resolution. At 1080p you have full freedom, at 1440p you have three playable presets with High being the best visual option, and at 4K you are limited to Low with a razor-thin margin. The CPU and GPU are well matched, with neither being a clear bottleneck, and the overall rank of 2631 out of 3700 reflects a solid mid-pack performance that is more than adequate for this title.
