Evolve

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the Intel Arc B370 lands at rank 3414 out of 3700 tested combos for Evolve. That places this configuration in the bottom 8 percent of the database, a result consistent with the Arc B370's own standing: the GPU sits at the 5th percentile among all tested graphics cards. The CPU, by contrast, is a strong part, ranking at the 81st percentile among all processors in the database.

The measured frame rates confirm the overall ranking. At 1920x1080, the combo averages 80 FPS on Low, 62 FPS on Medium, 49 FPS on High, and 34 FPS on Ultra. Only Low and Medium cross the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 2560x1440, no preset reaches 60 FPS, with the best result being 54 FPS on Low. At 3840x2160, the best case is 31 FPS on Low, and Ultra drops to 13 FPS.

The rank is heavily constrained by the GPU. The Arc B370 is an integrated-class part with a 25 W TDP, a 3 nm process, and only 1280 shading units. Its single recorded benchmark score, 1184 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, places it near legacy mobile and desktop parts from over a decade ago. The Ryzen 7 5800XT, with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 4.80 GHz boost clock, is not the limiting factor in this pairing; the frame rates scale in a pattern that tracks GPU load far more than CPU capability.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The nearest rivals to the Ryzen 7 5800XT in aggregate benchmark score are all mobile or desktop processors within a narrow band. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868, a 0 percent delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, putting them 0.3 percent ahead. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, which is 0.6 percent behind. Any of these CPUs would behave nearly identically in Evolve with the same GPU, since the game at these settings is not CPU-bound in a meaningful way.

The Intel Arc B370's nearest rivals are all much older parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, which is 0.2 percent ahead of the Arc B370. The ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, 0.5 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, 0.7 percent ahead. The AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168, 1.4 percent behind. In practical terms, swapping the Arc B370 for any of these GPUs would produce nearly indistinguishable frame rates in Evolve, which explains why the combo rank sits so low despite the modern CPU.

For a user considering this combo, the data suggests the CPU is more than adequate and the GPU is the binding constraint. A different GPU in the same class, or even one from the same performance tier as the listed rivals, would yield similar gameplay results. The recorded FPS deltas between these GPU rivals are all under 1.5 percent, so the experience would be effectively the same.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data covers three resolutions and four settings, with average FPS reported for all combinations and min/max values available for Medium at each resolution.

At 1920x1080, the combo produces its best results. Low averages 80 FPS. Medium averages 62 FPS, with a minimum of 53 and a maximum of 72. High averages 49 FPS. Ultra averages 34 FPS. The gap from Low to Ultra is 46 FPS, a 57.5 percent drop.

At 2560x1440, performance drops across the board. Low averages 54 FPS. Medium averages 42 FPS, with a minimum of 35 and a maximum of 48. High averages 33 FPS. Ultra averages 23 FPS. The gap from Low to Ultra is 31 FPS, a 57.4 percent drop from the Low result.

At 3840x2160, the combo struggles. Low averages 31 FPS. Medium averages 24 FPS, with a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 27. High averages 19 FPS. Ultra averages 13 FPS. The gap from Low to Ultra is 18 FPS, a 58.1 percent drop from the Low result.

The percentage drop from Low to Ultra is strikingly consistent across resolutions: roughly 57 to 58 percent. This uniformity suggests the scaling penalty for higher settings is resolution-independent, a sign that the GPU is being pushed along the same performance curve regardless of pixel count. The absolute numbers, however, show that even Low at 4K (31 FPS) is worse than Ultra at 1080p (34 FPS), which indicates the resolution cost is larger than the settings cost.

The min/max data for Medium shows narrow ranges at every resolution. At 1080p, the range is 53 to 72 FPS, a 19 FPS spread. At 1440p, the range is 35 to 48 FPS, a 13 FPS spread. At 4K, the range is 20 to 27 FPS, a 7 FPS spread. The shrinking spread at higher resolutions is consistent with a GPU that becomes more consistently saturated as pixel count rises.

CPU and GPU Roles

The Ryzen 7 5800XT is a high-end desktop CPU by any measure in the database: 8 cores, 16 threads, a 4.80 GHz boost clock, and a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 23794. Its single-thread score of 3359 in Cinebench R23 is also strong. The Intel Arc B370, by contrast, sits at the 5th percentile of all GPUs and has a 25 W TDP. For Evolve, this pairing is decisively GPU-limited.

The scaling between resolutions makes this clear. Moving from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 on Low settings drops the average from 80 to 54 FPS, a 32.5 percent reduction. Moving from 2560x1440 to 3840x2160 on Low drops the average from 54 to 31 FPS, a 42.6 percent reduction. These are large drops that track pixel count, not CPU workload. A CPU-limited scenario would show much smaller FPS changes when resolution increases, because the CPU work per frame stays roughly constant.

The settings scaling reinforces the GPU-bound conclusion. At 1920x1080, Low to Ultra drops from 80 to 34 FPS. At 2560x1440, the same settings drop from 54 to 23 FPS. At 3840x2160, Low to Ultra drops from 31 to 13 FPS. The proportional penalty from settings is nearly identical at every resolution, which is the signature of a GPU that is the bottleneck: the CPU has enough headroom to feed the GPU at all settings, so the GPU alone determines the frame rate.

The CPU's role is to keep up with the GPU's demands, and the benchmark data indicates it does so easily. Even at 1080p Low, where the GPU works least, the CPU's single-thread and multi-thread scores are far above what a 2015 FPS title like Evolve would require. There is no measured scenario in the database where the Ryzen 7 5800XT appears to hold the Arc B370 back; the FPS differences between resolutions and presets are entirely consistent with GPU-side scaling.

Best Settings per Resolution

The playable threshold in the database is 60 FPS. At 3840x2160, no preset reaches this threshold. The best recorded average is 31 FPS on Low, which is well below playable. Medium averages 24 FPS, High averages 19 FPS, and Ultra averages 13 FPS. There is no recommended setting at this resolution.

At 2560x1440, the situation is the same. No preset reaches 60 FPS. The best average is 54 FPS on Low, just under the threshold. Medium averages 42 FPS, High averages 33 FPS, and Ultra averages 23 FPS. The verdict data lists no playable settings at this resolution.

At 1920x1080, two presets clear the threshold: Low and Medium. Low averages 80 FPS, which is comfortably above 60. Medium averages 62 FPS, which just clears the threshold, with a minimum of 53 FPS and a maximum of 72 FPS. High averages 49 FPS and Ultra averages 34 FPS, both below playable. The best setting at 1080p is Medium, with an average of 62 FPS, because it delivers the highest visual quality while remaining at or above the 60 FPS playable point.

For users who want the smoothest experience, Low at 1080p provides a substantial margin above the threshold. For users who want the best visual quality that stays playable, Medium at 1080p is the choice. At 1440p and 4K, the data shows no playable configuration, so users targeting those resolutions would need to lower the resolution or upgrade the GPU.
