Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 presents a balanced mid-range configuration for Evolve, a 2015 FPS title. Benchmark data indicates this combo delivers playable frame rates across most settings, though 4K Ultra remains out of reach. The measured FPS values below are based on actual testing of this specific CPU and GPU pair, with all scores reflecting average performance.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160 (4K), the combo produces 43.5 FPS on High settings, which falls below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Dropping to Medium yields 58.4 FPS, still marginally under the target. Low settings at 4K deliver 73.5 FPS, clearing the threshold comfortably. Ultra settings at this resolution produce only 34.1 FPS, indicating a substantial performance ceiling. The scaling from Ultra to Low at 4K represents a 115.5% improvement in frame rate, highlighting how sensitive this resolution is to graphical fidelity.

At 2560x1440 (1440p), the results show significantly more headroom. High settings achieve 77.1 FPS, which is 28.5% above the 60 FPS target. Medium settings reach 100.1 FPS, and Low settings hit 127.7 FPS. Ultra settings at 1440p produce 56.4 FPS, just 6% short of the playable threshold. This resolution appears to be the sweet spot for balancing visual quality with smooth gameplay, as three of four presets clear 60 FPS.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the configuration performs strongly across all settings. Ultra settings achieve 83 FPS, which is 38.3% above the playable threshold. High settings reach 114.9 FPS, Medium hits 147.2 FPS, and Low produces 189.7 FPS. The gap between Ultra and Low at 1080p is 128.6%, showing that even the most demanding preset remains highly playable. The 1080p Ultra result of 83 FPS is particularly notable, as it exceeds the 4K Low result by 12.9%.

The data shows diminishing returns when moving from 1080p to 1440p. At High settings, the 1440p result of 77.1 FPS is 32.9% lower than the 1080p result of 114.9 FPS. However, the 1440p result remains well above 60 FPS. The transition from 1440p to 4K at High settings shows a 43.6% drop to 43.5 FPS, which crosses below the playable threshold. These scaling patterns indicate that the GPU becomes the limiting factor as resolution increases.

CPU and GPU Roles

The performance scaling across resolutions reveals a clear division of labor between the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence on frame rates, as the GPU can render frames quickly enough that processor overhead becomes relevant. The 5700G, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides sufficient processing power for Evolve’s FPS gameplay mechanics. The 3DMark single-thread score of 899 and multi-thread score of 6629 indicate balanced performance that avoids bottlenecking at lower resolutions.

As resolution increases to 1440p and 4K, the GPU’s role becomes dominant. The RTX 4060’s 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 272.0 GB/s bandwidth are taxed more heavily at higher pixel counts. The 4K Ultra result of 34.1 FPS compared to 1080p Ultra at 83 FPS demonstrates a 58.9% performance drop, which is primarily attributable to GPU workload scaling. The CPU’s contribution diminishes at 4K, as frame rates are constrained by the GPU’s fill rate and shader throughput.

The preset scaling within each resolution further illustrates this relationship. At 1080p, moving from Ultra to Low increases FPS by 128.6%, indicating that both CPU and GPU benefit from reduced settings. At 4K, the same transition yields a 115.5% improvement, but the absolute values remain lower. This suggests that at 4K, the GPU is the primary constraint, while at 1080p, the combination of CPU and GPU capabilities determines performance.

The RTX 4060’s 15.11 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 118.1 GPixel/s pixel rate are sufficient for Evolve’s 2015-era rendering demands at 1080p and 1440p. The 5700G’s 16 MB of L3 cache and 51.2 GB/s memory bandwidth support the CPU’s role in game logic and physics calculations. For a game released in 2015, this modern hardware combination provides substantial headroom at lower resolutions, while 4K pushes the GPU to its limits.
