Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER delivers a robust performance profile for Evolve, a 2015 FPS title, with measured data showing that the combination clears the 60 FPS playable threshold at every tested resolution. The benchmark results, drawn from the FACT PACK, indicate that the system’s headroom varies significantly by resolution and preset, with the most demanding settings at 4K dipping below the threshold while lower resolutions maintain high frame rates even at maximum quality.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is High, which produces an average of 77 FPS. The data shows that Ultra at this resolution falls to 54 FPS, below the playable threshold, while Medium averages 99 FPS and Low reaches 127 FPS. For players prioritizing visual fidelity at 4K, High is the ceiling that maintains smooth performance.

At 2560x1440, the system can handle Ultra settings while staying above 60 FPS, with an average of 94 FPS. This is the best visual preset available at this resolution, and the data indicates that all settings — Low at 224 FPS, Medium at 173 FPS, and High at 136 FPS — comfortably exceed the threshold, leaving ample room for higher refresh rates.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that remains at or above 60 FPS is also Ultra, averaging 140 FPS. Lower presets deliver even higher performance: High at 203 FPS, Medium at 258 FPS, and Low at 309 FPS. This resolution offers the greatest flexibility, allowing maximum quality with substantial margin above the 60 FPS floor.

CPU and GPU Roles

The benchmark data reveals how the balance between CPU and GPU shifts across resolutions. At 1920x1080, the GPU is the primary bottleneck, as evidenced by the large FPS deltas between presets: Low at 309 FPS versus Ultra at 140 FPS represents a 169 FPS drop, indicating that the RTX 4080 SUPER’s rendering workload scales heavily with quality settings. The Ryzen 7 5800XT, with its 8 cores and 16 threads, provides sufficient headroom at this resolution, as the CPU’s 3dmark max threads score of 7680 and cinebench R23 multicore score of 23794 suggest it is not the limiting factor.

Moving to 2560x1440, the GPU’s role becomes more pronounced. The delta between Low (224 FPS) and Ultra (94 FPS) is 130 FPS, and the absolute values drop by roughly 27-30% compared to 1080p at each preset. This scaling indicates that the increased pixel count places additional load on the RTX 4080 SUPER, while the CPU’s contribution remains relatively stable. At 3840x2160, the GPU dominates the performance equation. The Ultra preset falls to 54 FPS, a 86 FPS drop from 1080p Ultra (140 FPS), and even High averages only 77 FPS. The CPU’s role diminishes further at this resolution, as the data shows the GPU’s fill rate and memory bandwidth — 736.3 GB/s — become the limiting factors.

Measured FPS Breakdown

At 3840x2160, the measured FPS data shows a clear progression across presets. Low averages 127 FPS with no min or max recorded. Medium averages 99 FPS, with a minimum of 84 FPS and a maximum of 113 FPS. High averages 77 FPS without min or max values. Ultra drops to 54 FPS on average, also without min or max data. The Medium preset’s min-max range of 84-113 FPS indicates that even the lowest recorded frame rate stays above the 60 FPS threshold, whereas Ultra’s average falls below it.

At 2560x1440, the breakdown shows higher performance across all settings. Low averages 224 FPS, High averages 136 FPS, and Ultra averages 94 FPS. Medium provides the only complete min-max data: average 173 FPS, minimum 147 FPS, and maximum 199 FPS. This range demonstrates consistent performance, with the lowest frame rate still 87 FPS above the playable threshold. At 1920x1080, the system reaches its peak. Low averages 309 FPS, High averages 203 FPS, and Ultra averages 140 FPS. Medium again provides the full range: average 258 FPS, minimum 220 FPS, and maximum 297 FPS. The minimum at Medium is 160 FPS above the 60 FPS threshold, showing no risk of stutter under typical gameplay.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals in benchmark scores are closely matched. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H has an average score of 29868, a 0 delta from the Ryzen 7 5800XT’s 29879. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, a -0.3 delta, while the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, a 0.6 delta. These processors would produce nearly identical frame rates in Evolve, as their aggregate benchmark performance differs by less than one percent. The Ryzen 7 5800XT’s percentile rank of 81 among all CPUs places it in the upper tier, and these rivals represent the closest performance envelope.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 has an average score of 54247, a -0.1 delta from the RTX 4080 SUPER’s 54209. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X scores 54828, a -1.1 delta, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 55698, a -2.7 delta. The AMD Radeon 8060S scores 55757, a -2.8 delta. These GPUs would deliver comparable FPS in Evolve, with the RTX 4080 being nearly identical in practice. The RTX 4080 SUPER’s percentile rank of 86 among all GPUs indicates that these rivals sit within a narrow performance band.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Ryzen 7 5800XT and RTX 4080 SUPER ranks 305 out of 3700 tested combinations in Evolve, placing it in the top 8.2% of all systems. This rank reflects the GPU’s strong percentile position (86) and the CPU’s solid standing (81), with the pair delivering a balanced profile that excels at lower resolutions. The ranking suggests that while the system is not at the absolute apex of performance — the top 305 combos likely include newer or more expensive hardware — it provides a high level of playability across all tested scenarios. The data confirms that this combo is well above average, with the 4K Ultra dip to 54 FPS being the only notable weakness.

The Verdict

This PC can run Evolve at all three tested resolutions, but with caveats at maximum settings. At 3840x2160, the system clears 60 FPS on High (77 FPS), Low (127 FPS), and Medium (99 FPS), but Ultra falls short at 54 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets including Ultra (94 FPS) are playable, with High (136 FPS) and Medium (173 FPS) providing substantial headroom. At 1920x1080, every preset exceeds 60 FPS, with Ultra averaging 140 FPS and Low reaching 309 FPS. The verdict by resolution confirms that the best playable settings are High at 4K, Ultra at 1440p, and Ultra at 1080p. Players who prioritize 4K Ultra will need to reduce to High, while those at 1440p or 1080p can enjoy maximum quality without compromise.
