Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 combination delivers a decisive performance envelope for Evolve, a game from 2015. The measured data indicates that this pairing is capable of running the title at maximum settings across all tested resolutions, with a significant performance headroom at lower presets. The following analysis breaks down the measured frame rates, optimal settings, and the relative contribution of each component.

Best Settings per Resolution

The benchmark data for this configuration shows that the most demanding preset that maintains an average frame rate at or above the 60 FPS playable threshold is Ultra at every resolution tested.

At 3840x2160 (4K), the Ultra preset achieves an average of 61 FPS. This is the highest quality setting that clears the 60 FPS line, with the measured average being just 1 FPS above the threshold. The next step down, High, delivers 88 FPS, offering a substantial performance buffer for those who prefer smoother motion over maximum visual fidelity.

For 2560x1440 (1440p), the Ultra preset runs at an average of 107 FPS. This is comfortably above the 60 FPS threshold, indicating that the system has ample headroom at this resolution for the highest quality settings. The High preset at this resolution reaches 155 FPS, which is well-suited for high-refresh-rate displays.

At 1920x1080 (1080p), the Ultra preset produces an average of 160 FPS. This is the strongest performance of the three resolutions, and the frame rate is sufficiently high to fully utilize most high-refresh-rate monitors. The data shows that the system can handle the most demanding visual configuration at all tested resolutions without dropping below the playable threshold.

FAQ

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measured frame rates are organized by resolution and preset, with average values for all settings and min/max values where recorded.

3840x2160 (4K)

• Low: Average 145 FPS. No min/max data.
• Medium: Average 112 FPS, minimum 95 FPS, maximum 129 FPS.
• High: Average 88 FPS. No min/max data.
• Ultra: Average 61 FPS. No min/max data.

2560x1440 (1440p)

• Low: Average 251 FPS. No min/max data.
• Medium: Average 197 FPS, minimum 168 FPS, maximum 227 FPS.
• High: Average 155 FPS. No min/max data.
• Ultra: Average 107 FPS. No min/max data.

1920x1080 (1080p)

• Low: Average 287 FPS. No min/max data.
• Medium: Average 262 FPS, minimum 222 FPS, maximum 301 FPS.
• High: Average 231 FPS. No min/max data.
• Ultra: Average 160 FPS. No min/max data.

The scaling pattern is consistent. At 4K, the difference between Low and Ultra is 84 FPS. At 1440p, the difference is 144 FPS. At 1080p, the difference is 127 FPS. The Medium preset at 1080p shows a minimum of 222 FPS, which is still far above the playable threshold. The data indicates that the GPU is the primary driver of performance, as frame rates scale predictably with resolution.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have nearest rivals based on average benchmark scores. These alternatives would be expected to produce similar overall system performance, though specific in-game results can vary.

CPU Alternatives

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700G has an average benchmark score of 27051. Its nearest rivals are:

• Intel Core i9-9900K, with an average score of 27097, which is -0.2% different from the 5700G.
• AMD Ryzen AI 7 445, with an average score of 26936, which is 0.4% different.
• Intel Core i5-14400T, with an average score of 27166, which is -0.4% different.
• Intel Core i7-1370P, with an average score of 26900, which is 0.6% different.

These processors sit within a narrow performance band. A system using an Intel Core i9-9900K or an Intel Core i5-14400T would be expected to deliver nearly identical CPU-bound performance in Evolve.

GPU Alternatives

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 has an average benchmark score of 79842. Its nearest rivals are:

• NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB, with an average score of 79605, which is 0.3% different.
• NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB, with an average score of 79396, which is 0.6% different.
• AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT, with an average score of 78940, which is 1.1% different.
• AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X, with an average score of 80959, which is -1.4% different.

The RTX 5090's nearest rivals are a mix of workstation and mobile parts, reflecting its position in the benchmark database. A system with a Tesla P100 or a Radeon RX 6850M XT would likely produce similar frame rates in Evolve, though the RTX 5090's newer architecture may offer different driver-level optimizations.

The Verdict

The data confirms that this PC combination can run Evolve with a high degree of confidence. The verdict by resolution is clear:

• 3840x2160: The playable settings include Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 61.
• 2560x1440: The playable settings include Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 107.
• 1920x1080: The playable settings include Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 160.

Every single combination of resolution and preset tested exceeds the 60 FPS playable threshold. The system has the performance to run Evolve at its highest graphical quality at 4K, and provides significant headroom for high-refresh-rate gaming at 1440p and 1080p. The weakest performance point is 4K Ultra at 61 FPS, which is still technically playable but leaves little margin for frame-time spikes. For a more stable experience at 4K, the High preset at 88 FPS is a safer choice.

How This Combo Ranks

Within the benchmark database, this specific combination of CPU and GPU is ranked 147 out of 3700 tested combinations for Evolve. This places it in the top 4% of all tested systems. The rank reflects the high performance of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, which has a GPU percentile of 92 against all GPUs, meaning it performs better than 92% of all tested graphics cards. The CPU, the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G, has a percentile of 79 against all CPUs.

The high combo rank is driven primarily by the GPU's exceptional performance. While the CPU is not a top-tier part, its score is sufficient to avoid bottlenecking the GPU in this title. The ranking of 147 out of 3700 indicates that there are only 146 other combinations that are faster in this game, a signal of the strength of the RTX 5090.

CPU and GPU Roles

Analyzing the scaling between resolutions and presets reveals the relative importance of each component in Evolve.

The CPU's role is to handle game logic and physics, while the GPU renders frames. The data shows a clear GPU-bound scenario. At 1920x1080 with Low settings, the average FPS is 287. When the resolution is increased to 3840x2160 with the same Low settings, the average FPS drops to 145. This is a reduction of 142 FPS, or roughly 50%. This massive drop is a classic sign of GPU limitation, as the rendering workload increases fourfold from 1080p to 4K.

The CPU's influence is more visible at lower resolutions and settings where the GPU can produce frames quickly. At 1080p Low, the system averages 287 FPS. This high frame rate suggests that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU with enough draw calls to sustain very high performance. The Ryzen 7 5700G's multi-threaded score in Cinebench R23 is 12830.5, which is adequate for this game.

The scaling across presets at a fixed resolution further confirms the GPU's dominance. At 2560x1440, the difference between Low and Ultra is 144 FPS. The Ultra preset is more demanding on the GPU, and the frame rate drops accordingly. The CPU is not the limiting factor here, as the frame rates are high even at Ultra settings.

Ultimately, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is the decisive component for Evolve. The data shows that performance scales directly with resolution, which is a GPU-bound characteristic. The CPU's contribution is secondary, as it provides enough throughput to support the high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p. The bottleneck is firmly on the GPU, and the RTX 5090 is more than sufficient to handle the game at maximum settings.
