Evolve

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that maintains at least 60 FPS is Low, which delivers an average of 67 FPS. The Medium preset falls below the 60 FPS threshold with an average of 52 FPS, and High drops further to 41 FPS.

At 2560x1440, the most demanding playable preset is High, producing an average of 72 FPS. Medium runs at 92 FPS, Low at 118 FPS, while Ultra dips to 50 FPS, which is below the playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that clears 60 FPS is Ultra, with an average of 74 FPS. High reaches 107 FPS, Medium 137 FPS, and Low 177 FPS. This resolution is the only one where every preset, including Ultra, remains playable.

FAQ

Q: Can this system run Evolve at 4K with High settings?

A: No. The recorded average at 3840x2160 with High settings is 41 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS playable threshold. Only Low settings at 4K achieve 67 FPS on average.

Q: What is the best playable preset at 1440p?

A: High settings produce an average of 72 FPS at 2560x1440, making it the highest quality preset that stays above 60 FPS. Ultra is not playable at this resolution, averaging only 50 FPS.

Q: Is Ultra settings possible at 1080p?

A: Yes. At 1920x1080, Ultra settings average 74 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold. This is the only resolution in the recorded data where the Ultra preset is fully playable.

Q: How does the system perform at 4K Medium compared to 4K Low?

A: The Medium preset at 3840x2160 averages 52 FPS with a minimum of 44 FPS and a maximum of 60 FPS. Low settings average 67 FPS, so the jump from Low to Medium costs roughly 15 FPS while still missing the playable target.

Q: What are the minimum FPS figures for Medium settings across resolutions?

A: At 1920x1080, Medium averages 137 FPS with a minimum of 116 FPS and a maximum of 157 FPS. At 2560x1440, Medium averages 92 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS. At 3840x2160, Medium averages 52 FPS with a minimum of 44 FPS and a maximum of 60 FPS.

Q: Does the combo rank high among all tested configurations for this game?

A: The combo ranks 2151 out of 3700 tested combinations, placing it in the lower half of the database for Evolve performance.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU benchmarks place the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT in close company with several other processors. The nearest rival is the AMD Ryzen 7 7840H, which scores 29868 versus 29879 for the 5800XT, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, which is 0.3 percent higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, sitting 0.6 percent lower. These four chips form a tight cluster around the 5800XT's average benchmark score of 29879, meaning any of them would produce near-identical frame pacing in CPU-limited scenes.

For the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 20282. The closest match is the NVIDIA Quadro M4000M at 20480, which is 1 percent higher. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Mobile scores 20534, 1.2 percent higher. The Intel Arc B570 scores 20556, 1.3 percent higher, and the Intel Arc A750 scores 20582, 1.5 percent higher. All four alternatives sit within a narrow performance band, so swapping the RTX 2070 SUPER for any of them would result in broadly similar frame rates in Evolve, assuming the CPU remains constant.

In practical terms, the recorded data suggests that a system with any of these rival GPUs paired with the Ryzen 7 5800XT would deliver the same playable presets at each resolution. The 1080p Ultra result of 74 FPS and the 1440p High result of 72 FPS would likely hold within a few frames, since the delta between the 2070 SUPER and its nearest rivals never exceeds 1.5 percent.

The Verdict

This PC can run Evolve, but the playable range depends heavily on the target resolution. At 1920x1080, the system clears 60 FPS on every preset, including Ultra at 74 FPS average. This is the fully playable scenario with no compromises needed. At 2560x1440, the system remains playable on High, Medium, and Low, with High averaging 72 FPS. Ultra at 1440p is not viable, averaging 50 FPS. At 3840x2160, only Low settings cross the 60 FPS line with 67 FPS average. Medium, High, and Ultra at 4K all fall short, with averages of 52, 41, and 28 FPS respectively.

The verdict by resolution is clear: 1080p allows maximum quality, 1440p allows high quality, and 4K requires the lowest preset. For users who prioritize visual fidelity over resolution, 1440p High is the strongest balance. For those who must use a 4K display, Low settings are the only playable option, and the frame rate margin above 60 FPS is slim at 67 FPS.

Measured FPS Breakdown

1920x1080:

Low settings deliver the highest frame rate in the entire dataset, averaging 177 FPS. Medium averages 137 FPS with a minimum of 116 FPS and a maximum of 157 FPS. High averages 107 FPS. Ultra averages 74 FPS, which remains above the 60 FPS threshold. The spread from Low to Ultra is 103 FPS, indicating that the GPU has substantial headroom at this resolution even on the most demanding preset.

2560x1440:

Low averages 118 FPS. Medium averages 92 FPS with a minimum of 78 FPS and a maximum of 106 FPS. High averages 72 FPS. Ultra drops to 50 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. The step from High to Ultra costs 22 FPS, the largest single-preset drop at this resolution, while the step from Medium to High costs 20 FPS.

3840x2160:

Low averages 67 FPS, barely clearing the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 52 FPS with a minimum of 44 FPS and a maximum of 60 FPS, meaning even the maximum recorded frame rate barely touches the threshold. High averages 41 FPS. Ultra averages 28 FPS, which is less than half of the Low result. The scaling from Low to Ultra at 4K is severe, with each preset step reducing performance by roughly 14 to 15 FPS.

The data shows consistent behavior across resolutions: the gap between Low and Medium is generally smaller than the gap between High and Ultra. At 1080p, Low to Medium is a 40 FPS difference, while High to Ultra is 33 FPS. At 1440p, Low to Medium is 26 FPS, while High to Ultra is 22 FPS. At 4K, Low to Medium is 15 FPS, while High to Ultra is 13 FPS. This pattern suggests the Ultra preset introduces disproportionately heavy rendering features that cost more frames per quality step than the lower presets.

How This Combo Ranks

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ranks 2151 out of 3700 tested combinations for Evolve. This places the system in the 58th percentile of all recorded combos, meaning roughly 42 percent of tested configurations perform worse and 58 percent perform better. The rank reflects the GPU's position in the overall hardware landscape: the RTX 2070 SUPER sits at the 65th percentile among all GPUs, while the Ryzen 7 5800XT sits at the 81st percentile among all CPUs.

The combination of a high-end CPU with a mid-range GPU creates a system where the GPU is the limiting factor in Evolve. Evidence for this comes from the 4K results, where the CPU's strong single-thread and multi-thread scores (3dmark single thread 959, passmark single thread 3535, cinebench r23 multicore 23794) do not compensate for the GPU's inability to push past 41 FPS at High settings. At 1080p, the GPU has enough headroom to let the CPU feed frames efficiently, resulting in the 177 FPS Low result and the 74 FPS Ultra result.

Compared to the overall database, this combo delivers playable performance at 1080p and 1440p for most presets, but only Low settings at 4K. The rank of 2151 reflects this mixed capability: it is not a top-tier configuration for Evolve, but it is far from the bottom. Users with this hardware should target 1080p for the full experience or 1440p High for a balanced visual and performance trade-off. The 4K option exists only with significant graphical compromises.
