Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a high-end 2022 CPU and 2025 GPU combination, tested against Evolve, a 2015 FPS. Measured data shows this system clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every resolution and preset tested, including 4K Ultra at an average of 63 FPS. The combo ranks 142nd out of 3700 tested configurations for this game, placing it in the top few percent of all combinations.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The benchmark data reports average frame rates only; minimum and maximum frame values are not available in the dataset. The following table lists the measured averages across three resolutions and four quality presets.

| Resolution | Settings | Avg FPS |

|------------|----------|---------|

| 3840x2160 | Low | 148.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Medium | 111.3 |

| 3840x2160 | High | 91.6 |

| 3840x2160 | Ultra | 63.0 |

| 2560x1440 | Low | 249.5 |

| 2560x1440 | Medium | 201.9 |

| 2560x1440 | High | 157.9 |

| 2560x1440 | Ultra | 110.9 |

| 1920x1080 | Low | 281.3 |

| 1920x1080 | Medium | 258.3 |

| 1920x1080 | High | 234.7 |

| 1920x1080 | Ultra | 160.0 |

At 1080p, the spread from Low to Ultra is 121.3 FPS, with Ultra still delivering 160 FPS. Moving to 1440p, the Ultra preset drops to 110.9 FPS, and at 4K it falls to 63 FPS. The step from 1440p Ultra to 4K Ultra is the largest single-resolution loss in the dataset, a 47.9 FPS reduction. The data shows a consistent pattern: every increase in resolution reduces average frame rate, but the system remains playable at all settings.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Ryzen 7 5800X3D sits in the 80th percentile of all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 27896 across the suite. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U (avg score 27887, delta 0%), the Intel Core i9-10900K (27872, delta 0.1%), the AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340 (27932, delta -0.1%), and the Intel Core i5-12600KF (27799, delta 0.3%). These small delta percentages indicate that the 5800X3D’s compute performance is essentially equivalent to those chips in the aggregate benchmark.

The RTX 5090 is in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 79842. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79605, delta 0.3%), the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79396, delta 0.6%), the AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78940, delta 1.1%), and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X (80959, delta -1.4%). The GPU’s higher percentile and score indicate that it is a stronger relative performer than the CPU.

In Evolve specifically, the frame rate scaling tells the role story. At 1080p Low, the system hits 281.3 FPS, which is likely CPU-limited or engine-limited given the GPU’s headroom. As resolution increases, the frame rate falls: at 1440p Low it is 249.5 FPS, and at 4K Low it is 148.6 FPS. That 132.7 FPS drop from 1080p to 4K Low shows the GPU becoming the primary constraint at higher resolutions. The gap between Low and Ultra also widens as resolution climbs — at 1080p the difference is 121.3 FPS, at 1440p it is 138.6 FPS, and at 4K it is 85.6 FPS. This is consistent with the GPU taking on a larger share of the workload as pixel count rises.

The CPU’s 8-core, 16-thread design with a boost clock of 4.50 GHz and L3 cache of 96 MB gives it strong single-thread performance, which is what Evolve’s engine likely needs at lower resolutions. The RTX 5090’s 32 GB of GDDR7 memory and 1.79 TB/s bandwidth provide massive headroom for texture-heavy scenes, but the 4K Ultra result of 63 FPS indicates that the GPU is the limiting factor at the highest quality. The data does not support the CPU being a bottleneck at any resolution, since even 1080p Ultra exceeds 160 FPS.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU’s nearest rivals, based on average benchmark score, are the AMD Ryzen 7 6800U, Intel Core i9-10900K, AMD Ryzen AI 5 PRO 340, and Intel Core i5-12600KF. These chips deliver aggregate scores within a delta range of -0.1% to 0.3% of the 5800X3D’s 27896. In practice, any of these CPUs would produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve, assuming the GPU and memory subsystem are unchanged.

For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79605, delta 0.3%), NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 12 GB (79396, delta 0.6%), AMD Radeon RX 6850M XT (78940, delta 1.1%), and AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X (80959, delta -1.4%). The average scores are within a 1.4% delta of the RTX 5090’s 79842, so these cards would behave similarly in terms of overall compute. However, the RTX 5090’s higher percentile (92nd vs. the rivals’ lower positions) suggests it has an edge in raw compute, but for a 2015 title like Evolve, the delta is small enough that gameplay would be nearly identical.

The key takeaway is that both the CPU and GPU have close substitutes in the benchmark database, meaning the measured FPS values here are representative of a broader family of hardware, not a unique combination.

Best Settings per Resolution

For each resolution, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Ultra, since all tested presets exceed that threshold.

• 3840x2160 (4K): Ultra averages 63 FPS, which is the highest quality setting and still above the 60 FPS playable threshold.
• 2560x1440 (1440p): Ultra averages 110.9 FPS, comfortably above 60 FPS.
• 1920x1080 (1080p): Ultra averages 160 FPS, far above the threshold.

The data shows that the system can handle the maximum quality preset at every resolution tested. There is no resolution in the dataset where you must drop below Ultra to maintain playability. At 4K, the margin is narrow (3 FPS above the threshold), so if you prefer higher frame rates you could drop to High at 91.6 FPS, but Ultra is technically playable.

The Verdict

The verdict is clear: yes, this PC runs Evolve. The benchmark data confirms that the combination of AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 delivers playable frame rates at all four presets and all three resolutions. Specifically, at 4K Ultra the average is 63 FPS, at 1440p Ultra it is 110.9 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra it is 160 FPS. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and every measured configuration exceeds it.

The system’s rank of 142 out of 3700 combinations reflects a strong, but not the absolute top, position in the Evolve benchmark database. The CPU’s 80th percentile and GPU’s 92nd percentile reinforce that this is a well-balanced pair for a game that scales heavily with GPU at higher resolutions. If you want the best visual quality, 4K Ultra is just barely playable; if you prefer a larger frame-rate headroom, 1440p Ultra offers more than 110 FPS, and 1080p Ultra exceeds 160 FPS. There is no configuration in the measured set that fails the 60 FPS test, making this a safe recommendation for Evolve players who want to max out the settings.
