Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 combination ranks in the 675th position out of 3,700 tested combos for Evolve, placing it in the top 18.2% of all configurations evaluated. This is a strong showing for a pairing that pairs a 2021-era APU with a 2025-generation GPU. The CPU holds a 79th percentile ranking among all processors, while the GPU sits at the 82nd percentile among all graphics cards. The combination’s overall standing suggests it is well above the median for this specific title, though it is not at the absolute top tier—the data shows a significant gap between this combo and the highest-performing rigs, but also a substantial buffer above the lower quartile of systems.

How This Combo Ranks

The combo’s rank of 675 out of 3,700 tested combinations means it outperforms roughly 82% of all systems in the database for Evolve. This is a healthy margin above the median. In practical terms, the data indicates this PC is capable of handling the game with high framerates at most settings, as detailed in the measured FPS sections. The ranking reflects a balanced pairing: the RTX 5070 provides the bulk of the rendering horsepower, while the Ryzen 7 5700G’s eight cores and sixteen threads ensure the CPU does not become a bottleneck in typical gameplay scenarios. When compared to the average benchmark score of all tested CPUs, the 5700G scores 27,051, which is nearly identical to the nearest rival, the Intel Core i9-9900K at 27,097 (a delta of -0.2%). The GPU’s average benchmark score of 40,377 places it in a similar class to the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (40,318, delta +0.1%) and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (40,063, delta +0.8%). These figures suggest the combo is internally consistent—neither component dramatically outclasses the other, which often leads to smoother frame pacing.

CPU and GPU Roles

Benchmark results across the three resolutions and four presets reveal how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU. At 1920x1080, the framerates are exceptionally high, with Low settings producing an average of 286.1 FPS and Ultra hitting 120.7 FPS. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p reduces the average by 165.4 FPS (a 57.8% drop), indicating that the GPU is heavily engaged even at this lower resolution. However, the CPU still matters: the Ryzen 7 5700G’s single-thread score of 899 in 3DMark and 1,494 in Cinebench R23 provides enough headroom to feed the RTX 5070 at these high framerates. Moving to 2560x1440, the averages scale down—Low drops to 192.9 FPS and Ultra to 80 FPS—showing a clear GPU-bound trend as pixel count increases. The delta between Low and Ultra at 1440p is 112.9 FPS, which is proportionally similar to 1080p. At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the dominant factor: Low averages 110.3 FPS, while Ultra falls to 47 FPS, below the 60 FPS playable threshold. The scaling from 1080p Low to 4K Low is a 175.8 FPS reduction (61.5% slower), which is almost entirely attributable to the GPU’s rendering load. The CPU’s role is most evident at 1080p and 1440p, where the 5700G’s multi-threaded performance (Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 12,830.5) ensures that even at Medium and High settings, the framerate remains high enough that the GPU is fully utilized. At 4K, the RTX 5070’s raw throughput is the limiting factor, as evidenced by the steep drop at Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in terms of average benchmark score are all within a 1% delta. The Intel Core i9-9900K scores 27,097, a delta of -0.2% relative to the Ryzen 7 5700G’s 27,051, meaning they are effectively identical in synthetic tests. The AMD Ryzen AI 7 445 scores 26,936 (delta +0.4%), while the Intel Core i5-14400T scores 27,166 (delta -0.4%) and the Intel Core i7-1370P scores 26,900 (delta +0.6%). In practice, any of these CPUs would deliver near-identical frame pacing in Evolve when paired with the same GPU, as the game is not heavily CPU-threaded beyond 8 cores. For the GPU, the AMD Radeon Pro 580 (40,318, delta +0.1%) and AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 (40,063, delta +0.8%) are the closest matches, followed by the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (40,870, delta -1.2%) and the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile (39,568, delta +2.0%). These are workstation-oriented cards, but the benchmark scores indicate they would produce similar average framerates in Evolve, though the RTX 5070’s 12 GB of GDDR7 memory and 672.0 GB/s bandwidth may offer better consistency in texture-heavy scenes. The data suggests that swapping the CPU for a 9900K would change results by less than 0.5%, and swapping the GPU for a Pro 580 would change results by less than 0.2%.

The Verdict

The measured data confirms that this PC can run Evolve with playable framerates (above 60 FPS average) at all three tested resolutions, but with caveats at 4K. At 1920x1080, all four presets—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—clear the 60 FPS threshold, with Ultra averaging 120.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same is true, with Ultra averaging 80 FPS, providing a comfortable margin. At 3840x2160, the situation changes: High, Medium, and Low all remain above 60 FPS, with High averaging 66.6 FPS, but Ultra drops to 47 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. Therefore, the verdict is: this PC can run Evolve at 1080p and 1440p on any preset, and at 4K on High, Medium, or Low settings. For 4K Ultra, the system falls short by 13 FPS on average, so users must lower settings to High to maintain smooth gameplay. The 60 FPS threshold is a strict line in the data, and the Ultra preset at 4K is the only configuration that violates it.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured FPS data provides a detailed view of performance. At 1920x1080, the framerates are: Low averages 286.1 FPS, Medium averages 219.1 FPS, High averages 171.4 FPS, and Ultra averages 120.7 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra is consistent, with each preset step reducing the average by roughly 40-50 FPS. At 2560x1440, the averages are: Low at 192.9 FPS, Medium at 146.8 FPS, High at 112.5 FPS, and Ultra at 80 FPS. The drop from Medium to High is 34.3 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 32.5 FPS, showing a more pronounced GPU load as resolution increases. At 3840x2160, the averages are: Low at 110.3 FPS, Medium at 81.9 FPS, High at 66.6 FPS, and Ultra at 47 FPS. The gap between Medium and High is 15.3 FPS, while the gap between High and Ultra is 19.6 FPS, indicating that the Ultra preset’s additional effects impose a heavy penalty at 4K. Minimum and maximum FPS values were not recorded in the test data, so only average figures are available for analysis. The data shows that the RTX 5070’s 30.87 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput is sufficient for high-refresh gaming at 1080p and 1440p, but 4K Ultra exceeds its practical limits for this title.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC achieve 60 FPS at 4K with High settings?

A: Yes. The measured average FPS at 3840x2160 with High settings is 66.6 FPS, which exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best preset for 1440p gaming?

A: The data shows Ultra settings at 2560x1440 produce an average of 80 FPS, and this is the most demanding preset that remains above 60 FPS at that resolution.

Q: How does the CPU compare to its nearest rival?

A: The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 27,051, which is 0.2% lower than the Intel Core i9-9900K’s 27,097, making them functionally equivalent in synthetic tests.

Q: Is the GPU a bottleneck at 1080p?

A: No. At 1920x1080, the lowest average is 120.7 FPS on Ultra, indicating the GPU is not bottlenecking; the CPU’s single-thread performance (899 in 3DMark single-thread) is sufficient to keep up.

Q: What happens at 4K Ultra?

A: The average FPS drops to 47, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, so this preset is not playable at 4K according to the data.

Q: How does the GPU’s score compare to the AMD Radeon Pro 580?

A: The RTX 5070’s average benchmark score is 40,377, which is 0.1% higher than the Radeon Pro 580’s 40,318, indicating near-identical overall performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

Based on the measured FPS data, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS average is as follows. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings are playable with an average of 120.7 FPS, which is the highest quality option. At 2560x1440, Ultra settings are also playable with an average of 80 FPS, providing a high-fidelity experience without sacrificing smoothness. At 3840x2160, Ultra is not playable (47 FPS), so the best playable setting is High, which averages 66.6 FPS. These recommendations are derived strictly from the measured averages. Users seeking higher framerates can drop to Medium at 4K (81.9 FPS) or Low (110.3 FPS), but High is the best balance of visual quality and performance for that resolution. The data confirms that this combo is best suited for 1440p and 1080p gaming, where it can exploit the RTX 5070’s full potential, while 4K requires a compromise in settings to stay within the 60 FPS threshold.
