Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 pairing delivers comfortably playable performance across most of Evolve’s settings, with the CPU landing at the 79th percentile among all tested processors and the GPU at the 81st percentile. Measured data shows this combination can push 4K High above the 60 FPS threshold, while 1440p and 1080p both handle Ultra presets with headroom to spare.

Similar Performance Alternatives

Looking at the CPU side, the Ryzen 7 5700G’s average benchmark score sits at 27051, placing it in a tight cluster of comparable processors. The nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K, scores 27097, which is a delta of -0.2%, meaning the Ryzen trails by less than one percent. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 comes in at 26936 (0.4% slower), while the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27166 (-0.4% relative to the 5700G). The Intel Core i7-1370P rounds out the group at 26900, a 0.6% delta. In gaming workloads, users swapping between these four CPUs would notice essentially no difference in Evolve’s frame pacing or average output, since all are within a 1% band of each other.

For the GPU, the RTX 4070 posts an average benchmark score of 37648. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Tesla P4, scores 37628 (0.1% faster), making them effectively identical in raw compute. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 scores 37507 (0.4% lower), while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile reaches 38135 (1.3% higher), and the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 sits at 37157 (1.3% lower). In practical terms for Evolve, the RTX 4070 and Tesla P4 would produce nearly identical frame rates, though the Tesla P4 lacks the display outputs and drivers typical of a consumer card. The RX Vega 56 would be slightly slower but still within the same performance envelope, meaning users near these scores will see comparable FPS numbers at each resolution and preset.

CPU and GPU Roles

Evolve’s performance scaling between resolutions reveals a clear pattern of GPU dominance, but the CPU still matters at lower settings. At 3840x2160, dropping from High to Low increases average FPS from 63.5 to 99.1, a 56% jump. That same setting change at 2560x1440 moves from 106.1 to 177.4, which is a 67% gain. At 1920x1080, Low yields 260.2 FPS versus 157.4 on High, a 65% increase. This large delta across all resolutions indicates that the rendering workload is the primary bottleneck, especially when toggling settings that heavily affect fill rate and shading.

However, the CPU matters more when the GPU is underutilized. At 1080p Low, the GPU produces 260.2 FPS, which requires the Ryzen 7 5700G to feed frames fast enough. Its 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 design, with a boost clock of 4.60 GHz, is well-suited for that task. In contrast, at 4K Ultra the CPU has far more slack, since the GPU only manages 45 FPS. The scaling from 1080p to 4K at Ultra shows this: the Ultra preset at 1080p runs at 107.4 FPS, dropping to 75.9 at 1440p (a 29% decline) and then to 45 at 4K (a further 40% drop). This strong scaling with resolution confirms the GPU becomes the sole limit at higher resolutions and settings. At 1080p Low and Medium, the CPU is doing more work, but even then, the 5700G’s multi-threaded Cinebench R23 score of 12830.5 and single-core score of 1494 ensure it can keep the RTX 4070 fed without stalling.

Measured FPS Breakdown

3840x2160 (4K)

The highest preset that remains playable is High, with an average of 63.5 FPS. Medium runs at 76.6 FPS, while Low reaches 99.1 FPS. The Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS threshold at 45 FPS, making it unsuitable for smooth gameplay. The gap between High and Ultra is significant, representing a 29% drop in performance, likely due to Ultra’s added shadow quality, post-processing, and texture filtering demands.

2560x1440 (1440p)

All four presets cross the 60 FPS line here. Ultra runs at 75.9 FPS, High at 106.1 FPS, Medium at 139.0 FPS, and Low at 177.4 FPS. The scale from Low to Ultra shows a 57% reduction in FPS, which is expected given the increasing load. Notably, 1440p Ultra provides a comfortable margin above 60 FPS, allowing for minor variations in scene complexity without dropping below playable.

1920x1080 (1080p)

This resolution offers the largest performance envelope. Low runs at 260.2 FPS, Medium at 204.8 FPS, High at 157.4 FPS, and Ultra at 107.4 FPS. Even Ultra maintains a 79% headroom above the 60 FPS threshold. This means users can enable every visual option without worrying about frame dips, and the GPU still has room to push refresh rates beyond 100 FPS for competitive play.

The measured data includes no minimum or maximum FPS values, so the average FPS represents the complete picture, with any potential frame spikes or drops unseen.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Evolve at 4K Ultra?

A: No. The average FPS at 3840x2160 Ultra is 45, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The best playable preset at 4K is High, at 63.5 FPS.

Q: What is the best preset at 1440p to stay above 60 FPS?

A: Ultra is the most demanding preset that remains playable, with an average of 75.9 FPS. Lower presets also run faster: High (106.1), Medium (139.0), and Low (177.4).

Q: How much of a performance difference is there between High and Ultra at 1080p?

A: High produces 157.4 FPS average, while Ultra drops to 107.4 FPS. That is a 32% reduction in average FPS, making Ultra still comfortably above 60 FPS but noticeably slower.

Q: Which CPU or GPU rivals would behave similarly in this game?

A: The Ryzen 7 5700G’s nearest CPU rival is the Intel Core i9-9900K (delta -0.2%), meaning frame rates would be nearly identical. For the GPU, the NVIDIA Tesla P4 scores 0.1% higher than the RTX 4070, so performance in Evolve is essentially equal.

Q: Is the CPU or GPU the limiting factor at 1080p Low?

A: The GPU still dominates, since Low settings reduce the GPU workload and yield 260.2 FPS, which requires the CPU to process game logic and issue draw calls quickly. The Ryzen 7 5700G’s 16 threads and 3.80 GHz base clock are adequate for this, but that scenario is the most CPU-sensitive.

Q: Can this combo handle 4K at Medium?

A: Yes. Medium at 3840x2160 averages 76.6 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold. It is less demanding than High (63.5 FPS) and far more playable than Ultra (45 FPS).

Best Settings per Resolution

3840x2160 (4K)

The most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, with an average of 63.5 FPS. There is no headroom for Ultra, which drops to 45. Low and Medium also remain playable (99.1 and 76.6 FPS, respectively), but High is the highest visual quality without sacrificing playability.

2560x1440 (1440p)

Ultra is the best setting, averaging 75.9 FPS. This is a strong result, as it leaves 15.9 FPS of margin above the threshold, allowing for occasional scene complexity. Users can also choose High (106.1) or Medium (139.0) for higher refresh rates.

1920x1080 (1080p)

Ultra is the best preset, delivering 107.4 FPS, which is 47.4 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold. This leaves ample room for demanding scenes and high-refresh monitors. Low (260.2), Medium (204.8), and High (157.4) all run far above 60 FPS, but Ultra provides the maximum visual fidelity without risking frame dips.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 850th out of 3700 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the top 23% of all tested configurations. This rank is driven by the GPU’s strong 81st percentile and the CPU’s 79th percentile. Within the database, this means there are 2,850 combos that score lower, and 850 that score higher. The rank reflects the fact that the GPU is a high-end desktop part, while the CPU is a mid-range 2021 chip, but the pairing is well-balanced for Evolve’s demands. For context, the CPU’s nearest rival (Intel Core i9-9900K) would produce nearly identical rankings, and the GPU’s closest rival (Tesla P4) would also land in the same tier. The 850th spot suggests that while there are faster combos, this system sits comfortably ahead of the median tested build, and the measured FPS data confirms it can handle 4K High at 63.5 FPS, 1440p Ultra at 75.9 FPS, and 1080p Ultra at 107.4 FPS. Users seeking higher rankings would need a combination with a stronger CPU, such as a newer Ryzen 7 or Core i7, or a GPU that outperforms the RTX 4070’s nearest rivals by noticeable margins, but for real-world gameplay, the 850th rank is still a strong result.
