Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5700X paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is a capable combination for Evolve, a 2015 FPS. The CPU provides 8 cores and 16 threads with a base clock of 3.40 GHz and boost up to 4.60 GHz, while the GPU offers 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth. Measured frame rates from the database show the system delivers smooth gameplay across most resolution and preset combinations, with the only sub-60 FPS result occurring at 3840x2160 Ultra.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The Ryzen 7 5700X’s average benchmark score of 27578 is exactly matched by the Intel Core i5-12600K (deltaPct 0). The AMD Ryzen 7 5800 and AMD Ryzen 5 7600X both fall within 0.2% of that score, while the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H is within 0.3%. These processors will behave nearly identically in Evolve, given that the game’s performance is tied to the CPU’s overall throughput. The GPU side is similarly tight: the RTX 4070’s average score of 37648 is within 1.3% of all four listed rivals — the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (0.1% delta), AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (0.4% delta), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (1.3% delta), and AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (1.3% delta). This means that swapping the RTX 4070 for any of those cards would produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve, assuming the CPU remains constant.

In practice, systems built with these close alternatives will deliver the same playable experience, though the measured FPS data in this page applies only to the 5700X + RTX 4070 combination. The tight clustering of average scores suggests that any of the CPU rivals would not become a limiting factor at the settings tested, and the GPU rivals would land within a few FPS of the results shown below.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS scaling across resolutions and presets reveals a clear division of labor. At 1920x1080, the Low preset averages 264.7 FPS, while Ultra averages 110.3 FPS. At 2560x1440, Low drops to 177.8 FPS and Ultra to 76.7 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low yields 101.3 FPS and Ultra 40.7 FPS. The consistent reduction in FPS when moving from 1080p to 4K, across all four presets, indicates that the GPU is the primary scaling factor at higher resolutions. The CPU’s high single-thread and multi-thread scores (Cinebench R23 single-core 1499, multi-core 13184; 3DMark 16-thread 6858) demonstrate that the processor has ample headroom to feed the GPU at frame rates well beyond the 60 FPS threshold.

The CPU’s role becomes more apparent at lower resolutions and lower presets, where the GPU is less taxed. At 1080p Low, the system reaches 264.7 FPS, which is far above the threshold, confirming that the CPU is not a bottleneck even at extreme frame rates. As resolution increases, the GPU load rises and the FPS drops proportionally, while the CPU remains essentially unaffected. For example, the difference between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 154.4 FPS (264.7 to 110.3), but at 4K the same gap is 60.6 FPS (101.3 to 40.7). The consistent relative drop from Low to Ultra (roughly 60% across all resolutions) points to the GPU as the limiting component when raising visual quality.

The Verdict

This system can run Evolve with a smooth 60+ FPS experience at all resolutions except the most demanding combination. At 3840x2160, the High preset averages 61.5 FPS, which clears the playable threshold, while the Low and Medium presets reach 101.3 and 78.6 FPS, respectively. Ultra at 4K fails the threshold at 40.7 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four presets — Low, Medium, High, and Ultra — are playable, with Ultra delivering 76.7 FPS. At 1920x1080, every preset is also above 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 110.3 FPS. Therefore, the system is fully capable of running Evolve at 60 FPS or higher on High settings at 4K, and on Ultra settings at 1440p and 1080p.

How This Combo Ranks

In the database of 3,700 tested CPU+GPU combinations for Evolve, this specific pairing holds the 822nd position. This places it in the upper 22% of all systems tested, which is a strong showing for a mid-range desktop setup. The CPU alone sits in the 79th percentile among all CPUs, and the GPU in the 81st percentile among all GPUs, confirming that both components are well above average in their respective categories. The rank reflects that the system can deliver high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p, while still remaining playable at 4K with a slight compromise on preset quality.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS is as follows:

• 3840x2160: The best playable preset is High, which averages 61.5 FPS. Ultra is not playable (40.7 FPS), and Medium (78.6 FPS) and Low (101.3 FPS) are also above the threshold but offer lower visual quality.
• 2560x1440: The best playable preset is Ultra, averaging 76.7 FPS. All other presets (High 109.1, Medium 136.2, Low 177.8) are also playable, but Ultra provides the highest visual fidelity while staying comfortably above 60 FPS.
• 1920x1080: The best playable preset is Ultra, averaging 110.3 FPS. High (161.0), Medium (205.5), and Low (264.7) all exceed 60 FPS, but Ultra delivers the maximum quality without sacrificing the threshold.

These results show that the AMD Ryzen 7 5700X + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 combination is well balanced for Evolve, offering high refresh rates at mainstream resolutions and a solid 4K experience when slightly reducing the preset from Ultra to High.
