Evolve

# Measured FPS Breakdown

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X paired with the Intel Arc B580 delivers a wide spread of frame rates across the three tested resolutions in Evolve, with settings ranging from Low to Ultra. The measured data shows clear scaling patterns that define this combo's capabilities.

At 1920x1080, the lowest resolution tested, the combo produces its highest performance ceiling. Low settings return an average of 155 FPS, which represents the fastest result in the entire measured set. Medium settings drop to 120 FPS average, with a minimum of 102 FPS and a maximum of 138 FPS, showing that even the most demanding moments stay well above the playable threshold. High settings produce 94 FPS average, while Ultra settings still manage 65 FPS average. This means every preset at 1080p clears the 60 FPS playable threshold, and the margin at Low is more than 2.5x that threshold.

Moving to 2560x1440, the performance profile changes notably. Low settings deliver 104 FPS average, which remains comfortably high. Medium settings produce 80 FPS average with a minimum of 68 FPS and a maximum of 93 FPS, so the frame-time consistency holds up even during heavy scenes. High settings yield 63 FPS average, which barely crosses the 60 FPS line. Ultra settings fall to 44 FPS average, which drops below the playable threshold and indicates that the Ultra preset is not viable at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the 4K results show the most constrained performance. Low settings produce 59 FPS average, which is just one frame short of the 60 FPS threshold. Medium settings deliver 46 FPS average with a minimum of 39 FPS and a maximum of 53 FPS, showing a range that stays entirely below playable levels. High settings drop to 36 FPS average, and Ultra settings fall further to 25 FPS average. None of the 4K presets reach the playable threshold, with the closest result being Low at 59 FPS.

The frame data reveals a consistent pattern: performance scales predictably with resolution and settings. The gap between Low and Ultra at 1080p is 90 FPS, while at 1440p it is 60 FPS, and at 4K it narrows to 34 FPS. This suggests that as resolution increases, the GPU becomes the dominant constraint, and the settings headroom diminishes accordingly. The Medium preset data, which includes min and max values, shows that frame rates remain stable within each resolution, with the 1440p Medium range spanning 25 FPS and the 1080p Medium range spanning 36 FPS.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X with the Intel Arc B580 combination ranks 2787 out of 3700 tested combos in Evolve, placing it in the 75th percentile of all configurations tested for this game. This rank reflects the overall performance across all resolutions and settings, weighted by the playable threshold of 60 FPS.

The CPU alone sits in the 81st percentile among all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 29123. Its nearest rivals in overall CPU performance include the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H with an average score of 29093 (only 0.1% behind), the Intel Xeon Phi 7210 with 29245 (0.4% ahead), the Intel Core i5-13500HX with 29270 (0.5% ahead), and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT with 28940 (0.6% behind). These small deltaPct values indicate that the 5800X sits in a tightly clustered performance band, where no single rival has a decisive advantage.

The GPU ranks in the 68th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 23021. Its nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP with 23061 (0.2% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 with 22895 (0.6% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 with 23172 (0.7% ahead), and the NVIDIA P106-100 with 23249 (1% ahead). Again, the deltaPct values are small, meaning the Arc B580 performs nearly identically to these four GPUs in aggregate benchmarks.

The combination rank of 2787 out of 3700 suggests that while individual components are competitive, the pairing does not push into the top quartile of Evolve-specific performance. The 1080p results are strong, with all presets exceeding 60 FPS, but the 4K results drag the overall rank down because no 4K preset reaches playable levels. The 1440p results are mixed, with High just clearing the threshold at 63 FPS but Ultra failing at 44 FPS.

Compared to the CPU's nearest rivals, the 5800X's performance in Evolve should be nearly indistinguishable from the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H or the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, given the sub-1% differences in aggregate scores. Similarly, the GPU's nearest rivals—the RX 580 2048SP, RTX 2080, RTX 3080, and P106-100—would produce almost identical frame rates in this game, meaning users with those GPUs would see the same 1080p and 1440p results, and the same 4K limitations.

FAQ

Q: Can this combo run Evolve at 1080p with Ultra settings?

A: Yes. The measured data shows 65 FPS average at 1920x1080 with Ultra settings, which clears the 60 FPS playable threshold. All four presets at this resolution—Low, Medium, High, and Ultra—are listed as playable in the verdict data.

These small gaps mean frame rates in Evolve would be nearly identical across these GPUs.

Q: What is the frame consistency like at Medium settings?

A: The measured data includes minimum and maximum FPS only for Medium presets. At 1080p, the range is 102 to 138 FPS around a 120 FPS average. At 1440p, the range narrows to 68 to 93 FPS around an 80 FPS average. At 4K, the range is 39 to 53 FPS around a 46 FPS average. This shows that frame pacing remains stable, with no extreme dips below the average.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and Intel Arc B580 combination can run Evolve at 60 FPS or above at 1920x1080 across every preset, and at 2560x1440 with Low, Medium, or High settings. The verdict data confirms that 1080p Ultra delivers 65 FPS average, which is the highest visual quality available at that resolution while remaining playable. At 1440p, High settings produce 63 FPS average, which is the best playable preset, but Ultra drops to 44 FPS and fails the threshold.

At 3840x2160, the combo cannot reach 60 FPS on any preset. The best 4K result is Low settings at 59 FPS average, just shy of the playable line. Medium, High, and Ultra all fall further below, with averages of 46, 36, and 25 FPS respectively. The verdict data lists no playable settings at 4K, meaning users targeting 4K would need to reduce resolution or accept sub-60 FPS performance.

The practical recommendation is clear: for 1080p gaming, this combo handles Evolve at maximum settings with headroom to spare. For 1440p, High settings offer the best balance of quality and performance, while Ultra should be avoided. For 4K, the combo is not suitable for 60 FPS gameplay under any preset, and users would need to consider lower resolutions or different hardware.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU each have a set of nearest rivals that would produce nearly identical performance in Evolve, based on their aggregate benchmark scores and small deltaPct values.

For the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, the closest alternatives are the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H, which scores 0.1% lower, and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT, which scores 0.6% lower. The Intel Xeon Phi 7210 scores 0.4% higher, and the Intel Core i5-13500HX scores 0.5% higher. Any of these CPUs would deliver essentially the same frame rates in Evolve when paired with the same GPU, because the differences are well below 1%.

For the Intel Arc B580, the nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 580 2048SP at 0.2% higher, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 at 0.6% lower, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 at 0.7% higher, and the NVIDIA P106-100 at 1% higher. These GPUs would produce frame rates within a couple of percentage points of the Arc B580 in Evolve, meaning the same 1080p and 1440p playable results, and the same 4K shortfalls.

A user with a system built around the Intel Core Ultra 5 135H or the AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT and any of these rival GPUs would expect nearly identical performance in Evolve. The data suggests that swapping the 5800X for a 135H or 5600XT would change the 1080p Ultra result by less than 1 FPS, and swapping the Arc B580 for an RTX 2080 would similarly shift results by less than a frame. The practical takeaway is that this performance envelope is shared by a wide range of hardware combinations, and the 2787th rank out of 3700 combos reflects this middle-tier placement.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 1920x1080, the best settings are Ultra, which delivers 65 FPS average. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS, and it does so with a 5 FPS margin. All lower presets also work, with High at 94 FPS, Medium at 120 FPS, and Low at 155 FPS, but Ultra provides the maximum visual quality without sacrificing playability.

At 2560x1440, the best settings are High, which delivers 63 FPS average. This clears the 60 FPS threshold by just 3 FPS, making it a tighter margin than at 1080p. Medium settings also work at 80 FPS, and Low at 104 FPS, but High offers the best visual fidelity among playable options. Ultra at 44 FPS is not playable, so High is the ceiling for this resolution.

At 3840x2160, no settings are playable, and the verdict data lists the best settings as null. The closest option is Low at 59 FPS, which misses the threshold by 1 FPS, but the data does not designate any preset as playable at 4K. Users targeting 4K would need to reduce resolution to 1440p or accept sub-60 FPS performance, with Medium at 46 FPS being the most balanced non-playable option.

CPU and GPU Roles

The measured FPS data across resolutions and presets reveals how the CPU and GPU each contribute to Evolve performance. At 1920x1080, the combo achieves 155 FPS on Low settings, which indicates that the CPU is capable of feeding the GPU well above the playable threshold. The jump from Low to Ultra at 1080p reduces performance by 90 FPS (from 155 to 65), showing that the GPU is the limiting factor when settings are increased, because the CPU has plenty of headroom at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops across the board, with Low at 104 FPS and Ultra at 44 FPS. The 60 FPS gap between Low and Ultra mirrors the 1080p pattern but at lower absolute values. The fact that High still reaches 63 FPS while Ultra falls to 44 FPS suggests that the GPU's compute and memory bandwidth are stretched as settings rise, and the CPU remains less critical at this resolution.

At 3840x2160, the GPU becomes the clear bottleneck. Low settings produce 59 FPS, which is nearly playable, but every higher preset drops sharply: Medium at 46 FPS, High at 36 FPS, and Ultra at 25 FPS. The 34 FPS spread between Low and Ultra at 4K is smaller than at lower resolutions, indicating that the GPU is saturated even at Low settings, and the CPU cannot compensate for the resolution-driven load increase.

The scaling between resolutions reinforces this split. At Low settings, moving from 1080p to 1440p reduces FPS by 51 (from 155 to 104), and moving from 1440p to 4K reduces FPS by 45 (from 104 to 59). At Ultra settings, the reductions are 21 FPS from 1080p to 1440p (65 to 44) and 19 FPS from 1440p to 4K (44 to 25). The relatively consistent drops across resolutions indicate that the GPU's rendering load scales predictably, while the CPU's role diminishes as resolution increases because frame production rates fall.

In summary, the CPU is the less constrained component in this pairing for Evolve, particularly at 1080p where it can drive very high frame rates. The GPU is the primary determinant of playability at 1440p and the sole gatekeeper at 4K, where no preset reaches 60 FPS. Users seeking higher 4K performance would need a stronger GPU, while the 5800X provides ample CPU headroom for this game at all tested resolutions.
