Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination delivers a robust gaming experience in Evolve, with benchmark data showing strong performance across all major resolutions. At 1080p, the combo produces exceptionally high frame rates that push well beyond standard high-refresh displays, while 1440p remains comfortably above the 60 FPS playability threshold at maximum settings. The 4K results are more nuanced, where the system clears 60 FPS at High settings but falls short at Ultra. The data indicates this pairing is well-balanced, with the RTX 3080 providing the graphical muscle to handle Evolve's shooter mechanics with significant headroom.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data for this combination in Evolve shows a clear performance hierarchy across resolutions and presets. At 3840x2160, the system delivers an average of 60.9 FPS on High settings, 76.1 FPS on Medium, and 97.9 FPS on Low. The Ultra preset at 4K drops to an average of 42.1 FPS, which falls below the 60 FPS playability threshold. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K represents a significant performance cost, with Ultra being roughly 57% slower than Low.

Moving to 2560x1440, the results show substantially higher performance. The Ultra preset averages 71.3 FPS, which is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold. High settings produce 99.3 FPS, Medium delivers 130.8 FPS, and Low reaches 168.1 FPS. The gap between High and Ultra at 1440p is notable, with Ultra requiring about 28% more performance headroom than High. This resolution presents the best balance of visual fidelity and frame rate, as even the most demanding preset stays playable.

At 1920x1080, the combination excels with exceptionally high frame rates. The Ultra preset averages 106.9 FPS, which is nearly double the playability threshold. High settings reach 153.4 FPS, Medium hits 194.9 FPS, and Low achieves an impressive 250.8 FPS. The 1080p results demonstrate that this pairing has substantial headroom for high-refresh-rate monitors, with even the most demanding settings leaving significant performance on the table.

The measured data only includes average FPS values, with no minimum or maximum frame rate data available for any resolution or preset combination. This means the analysis focuses on sustained average performance rather than frame time consistency or 1% low metrics.

Best Settings per Resolution

For 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is High, which averages exactly 60.9 FPS. This result is marginal, with less than 1 FPS of headroom above the playability threshold. Medium settings provide more comfort at 76.1 FPS, but High offers the best visual quality while still meeting the minimum performance requirement.

At 2560x1440, the Ultra preset is the best choice, averaging 71.3 FPS. This provides a 11.3 FPS buffer above the 60 FPS threshold, making it a viable option for players who want maximum visual fidelity. The High preset at 99.3 FPS offers significantly more headroom for those who prefer smoother frame times, but Ultra remains the highest quality setting that stays playable.

For 1920x1080, the Ultra preset is the clear winner, averaging 106.9 FPS. This delivers both maximum visual quality and a frame rate that exceeds the requirements of most high-refresh displays. The nearly 47 FPS buffer above the playability threshold ensures that even demanding scenes with multiple monsters and effects should maintain smooth performance.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Evolve's frame rates. At 3840x2160, the frame rates vary dramatically between presets, from 42.1 FPS at Ultra to 97.9 FPS at Low. This wide spread indicates that the GPU is the primary bottleneck at 4K, as reducing graphical load produces massive frame rate gains. The RTX 3080's 10 GB of GDDR6X memory and 760.3 GB/s bandwidth are being heavily utilized at this resolution, with the GPU's 29.77 TFLOPS of FP32 performance determining the ceiling.

At 2560x1440, the scaling between presets is more moderate. The Ultra preset at 71.3 FPS represents a 58% improvement over the 4K Ultra result, while Low at 168.1 FPS shows even greater gains. The CPU's role becomes more apparent at this resolution, as the Ryzen 7 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads can feed the GPU more effectively when pixel count decreases. The 5700G's 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth provide sufficient data throughput for the GPU to stretch its legs.

At 1920x1080, the CPU begins to matter more relative to the GPU. The Low preset reaches 250.8 FPS, which suggests the CPU can sustain very high frame rates when the GPU is not overloaded. The difference between Medium (194.9 FPS) and High (153.4 FPS) at 1080p shows that graphical settings still have a significant impact, but the Ultra preset at 106.9 FPS indicates the GPU is no longer the sole limiting factor. The 5700G's 4.60 GHz boost clock and strong single-thread performance, evidenced by its 899 3DMark single-thread score, help maintain high frame rates at this resolution.

The data indicates that the RTX 3080 is the dominant component for Evolve's performance, particularly at 4K where GPU load is highest. As resolution decreases, the CPU's importance grows, but the GPU remains the more significant factor across all tested settings. The 5700G's 79th percentile ranking and the RTX 3080's 68th percentile ranking suggest that the GPU is the more limiting component in this pairing for Evolve's specific workload.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 combination can run Evolve with playable performance at all three tested resolutions, but with important caveats at 4K. At 3840x2160, the system achieves playable frame rates on Low (97.9 FPS), Medium (76.1 FPS), and High (60.9 FPS) settings, with High being the best quality option that remains above 60 FPS. The Ultra preset at 4K is not playable, averaging only 42.1 FPS.

At 2560x1440, every preset is playable, with Ultra averaging 71.3 FPS as the best quality option. This resolution offers the best balance of visual fidelity and performance, providing a comfortable margin above the playability threshold even at maximum settings.

At 1920x1080, the system delivers outstanding performance across all presets, with Ultra averaging 106.9 FPS. This makes the combination ideal for high-refresh-rate gaming, as even the most demanding settings produce frame rates well above 100 FPS.

The verdict is clear: this PC can run Evolve effectively at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K with High settings or lower. Players focused on 4K Ultra should consider reducing settings or accepting frame rates below 60 FPS. The combination of the Ryzen 7 5700G's strong multi-threaded performance and the RTX 3080's high-end rasterization power makes this a capable system for Evolve, with the GPU serving as the primary performance driver across most resolution and settings combinations.
