Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 combination delivers a clear performance profile for Evolve, a 2015 FPS title. The data indicates a system that scales predictably across resolutions, with a definitive cutoff at 4K. The following analysis details the measured performance, component roles, and the most practical settings for this hardware pairing.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Evolve at 60 FPS on a 4K monitor?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest recorded average is 55.9 FPS on Low settings, which falls short of the 60 FPS playable threshold. High, Medium, and Ultra settings produce 34.7, 40.6, and 25.5 FPS respectively, all below the threshold.

Q: What is the best playable settings preset at 2560x1440?

A: The best settings preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Medium, which achieves an average of 75.4 FPS. Low settings run at 99.9 FPS, while High drops to 58.9 FPS, just under the threshold.

Q: Does the RTX 2060 allow for Ultra settings at 1920x1080?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings produce an average of 64.1 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. This is the highest preset tested at this resolution that remains playable.

Q: How does the CPU's benchmark score compare to its closest rivals?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 27051, placing it within 0.6% of its nearest rivals. It is 0.2% behind the Intel Core i9-9900K, 0.4% ahead of the AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, 0.4% behind the Intel Core i5-14400T, and 0.6% ahead of the Intel Core i7-1370P.

Q: What is the GPU's performance percentile compared to all tested GPUs?

A: The RTX 2060 ranks in the 58th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score is 15290, with its closest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, scoring 15283, a 0% difference.

Q: Are there any resolutions where no settings preset is playable?

A: Yes, at 3840x2160, none of the four tested presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) reach the 60 FPS threshold. The highest average is 55.9 FPS on Low, which is not sufficient for smooth gameplay.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance data for Evolve shows a clear shift in component importance as resolution changes. At 1920x1080, the combination of the Ryzen 7 5700G and RTX 2060 produces high frame rates across all presets. The difference between Low and Ultra is substantial: 145.9 FPS versus 64.1 FPS. This spread indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor when settings are increased, but the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU enough data to maintain high output at lower settings.

Moving to 2560x1440, the frame rates drop significantly for all presets. The gap between Low (99.9 FPS) and Ultra (39.7 FPS) widens, showing that the GPU's rendering workload becomes more demanding. The CPU still provides enough headroom to keep the system above 60 FPS on Medium settings, but High settings (58.9 FPS) fall just short. This suggests that at 1440p, the RTX 2060's processing capability starts to become the dominant factor, with the CPU's role diminishing as the resolution increases.

At 3840x2160, the pattern is more pronounced. Even Low settings only reach 55.9 FPS, and Ultra drops to 25.5 FPS. The GPU is clearly the bottleneck at this resolution, as the pixel throughput required exceeds what the RTX 2060 can deliver for consistent 60 FPS gameplay. The CPU's 16 threads and high single-thread score are not the limiting factor here; rather, the GPU's shading units, texture units, and memory bandwidth are insufficient for 4K at playable frame rates. The scaling from 1080p to 4K shows a reduction of roughly 62% in average FPS across all settings, which aligns with the increased pixel count and the GPU's inability to maintain performance at that resolution.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 1920x1080, the system delivers its strongest results. Low settings produce an average of 145.9 FPS, Medium settings reach 116.1 FPS, High settings run at 89.2 FPS, and Ultra settings achieve 64.1 FPS. All presets clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Low providing more than double the minimum playable frame rate.

At 2560x1440, the averages are lower but still respectable for the lighter presets. Low settings run at 99.9 FPS, Medium at 75.4 FPS, High at 58.9 FPS, and Ultra at 39.7 FPS. The drop from 1080p to 1440p is consistent, with each preset losing roughly 30-40% of its average FPS. The step from Medium to High represents a 21.9% reduction in average FPS, which is the largest relative jump between presets at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the system struggles to maintain playable rates. Low settings yield 55.9 FPS, Medium drops to 40.6 FPS, High falls to 34.7 FPS, and Ultra bottoms out at 25.5 FPS. None of these averages reach the 60 FPS threshold, and the difference between Low and Ultra is 30.4 FPS, indicating the GPU is heavily taxed at this resolution. The data shows that even with the lowest settings, 4K is beyond the capability of this pairing for smooth gameplay.

The Verdict

The recorded data confirms that this PC can run Evolve, but only under specific resolution and preset conditions. At 1920x1080, all four tested presets achieve at least 64 FPS on average, making this the only resolution where Ultra settings are viable. At 2560x1440, the system is playable on Low and Medium settings, with Medium providing the best balance at 75.4 FPS. High settings at 1440p fall just short of the threshold at 58.9 FPS.

At 3840x2160, the verdict is clear: this configuration cannot run Evolve at 60 FPS on any preset. The highest average, 55.9 FPS on Low, is below the playable threshold, and the other presets are significantly worse. Users targeting 4K would need a more powerful GPU to achieve smooth performance. For 1080p and 1440p gaming, the system meets or exceeds the 60 FPS target with the appropriate settings, making it a capable setup for this title at those resolutions.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU's nearest rivals in the database provide context for its performance. The Intel Core i9-9900K has a nearly identical average benchmark score of 27097, just 0.2% higher than the Ryzen 7 5700G's 27051. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26936, a 0.4% difference, while the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166, a 0.4% difference. The Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26900, a 0.6% difference. In practical terms, all four of these CPUs would deliver similar CPU-bound performance in Evolve, meaning the frame rates at lower resolutions and settings would be nearly indistinguishable.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are closely matched. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 has an average score of 15283, which is exactly 0% different from the RTX 2060's 15290. The AMD Radeon 680M scores 15270, a 0.1% difference, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM scores 15199, a 0.6% difference. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 15171, a 0.8% difference. These GPUs would produce very similar frame rates in Evolve, with the RTX 2060 having a slight edge over the RX 7600 in the database's average benchmark score.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700G and RTX 2060 ranks 2867 out of 3700 tested combos for Evolve. This places the system in the lower half of the database, reflecting its inability to handle 4K resolutions. The rank is driven primarily by the GPU's performance at higher resolutions, where the RTX 2060's 6 GB of GDDR6 memory and 192-bit bus limit its throughput. At 1080p, the system would rank higher due to the CPU's strong multi-threaded performance, but the overall score is dragged down by the 4K results. For users playing at 1080p or 1440p, this rank does not fully reflect the playable experience, as the system clears the 60 FPS threshold on most presets at those resolutions.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 64.1 FPS. This is the only resolution where the highest quality settings are fully playable.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding preset that maintains 60 FPS is Medium, averaging 75.4 FPS. High settings fall short at 58.9 FPS, so Medium is the optimal choice for a balance of visual quality and performance.

At 3840x2160, no preset reaches the 60 FPS threshold. The highest average is 55.9 FPS on Low settings, which is not playable by the database's standard. As such, there is no recommended preset for 4K with this hardware configuration.
