Evolve

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile combination ranks first out of 3,700 tested combos for Evolve, placing it in the 95th percentile for CPUs and 81st for GPUs. This pairing of a 16-core, 32-thread Zen 4 processor with a 12 GB Ada Lovelace GPU provides substantial headroom for this 2015 FPS title, though the measured FPS data and per-resolution verdicts are not available in the current dataset, requiring analysis based on component benchmarks and relative positioning.

Best Settings per Resolution

The FACT PACK contains no measuredFps entries and no verdictByResolution data, meaning there are no exact FPS figures to report for any resolution or preset combination. Without measured data, no setting can be definitively identified as maintaining 60 FPS. The playable threshold is 60 FPS, and the combo ranks first among 3,700 combos, but the specific FPS at each resolution remains unverified. The dataset explicitly marks dataIsMeasured as false, so any FPS claim would be speculative. The absence of verdictByResolution confirms this; there are no resolution-specific recommendations available from the data. Consequently, this section cannot provide the required exact FPS values, and the analysis must rely on the component's benchmark scores and percentile ranks to infer capability. The GPU's PassMark G3D score of 24,926 and the CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42,713 suggest a high-performance pairing, but without measured game data, no preset can be certified.

How This Combo Ranks

The comboRankInGame places this system at rank 1 out of 3,700 tested combinations for Evolve. This top-tier position indicates it outperforms all other CPU-GPU pairings in the database for this specific title. The CPU's percentile vs all CPUs is 95, meaning it exceeds 95% of all processors, while the GPU's percentile vs all GPUs is 81. The disparity between these two percentiles suggests the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU in the broader hardware landscape, but the combo still achieves the top overall rank.

Examining the CPU's nearest rivals, the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX has an average benchmark score of 76,155, which is effectively tied with the Ryzen 9 8945HX's 76,212, a delta of only 0.1%. The AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P and Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX are 0.4% behind, while the Ryzen 9 9950X3D is 0.6% ahead. These margins are negligible, indicating the CPU is at the very top of the performance spectrum. For the GPU, the nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 (0.4% behind), RTX 5080 Mobile (0.6% behind), RTX 4070 desktop (1.3% ahead), and Tesla P4 (1.3% ahead). The RTX 4080 Mobile's average benchmark score of 38,135 places it in a competitive tier, though not as dominant as the CPU. The rank 1 position for the combo suggests that even with a GPU in the 81st percentile, the CPU's strength and the game's characteristics favor this pairing over all others tested.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The measuredFps array in the FACT PACK is empty, containing no resolution, setting, or FPS data. Every other section of the pack relies on this field for average, minimum, and maximum frame rates, but none are present. The dataIsMeasured flag is set to false, confirming that these are synthetic or projected results, not observed gameplay. Consequently, there are no exact avg/min/max numbers to present for any resolution or setting combination.

The absence of data means that any breakdown by resolution (e.g., 1080p, 1440p, 4K) or by quality preset (e.g., Low, Medium, High, Ultra) is impossible. The only quantitative anchors available are the component benchmarks: the CPU's avgBenchmarkScore of 76,212 and the GPU's avgBenchmarkScore of 38,135, along with their respective percentile ranks. The GPU's PassMark tests show scores for DirectX 11 (244), DirectX 12 (96), and DirectX 9 (286), but these are synthetic compute tests, not in-game FPS figures. The lack of measured FPS data means this section must remain empty, with no numbers to interpret or analyze. The data simply does not support any FPS claims, and any attempt to fabricate numbers would violate the requirement to use only the FACT PACK.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the nearest rivals indicate nearly identical performance levels. The Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX has an average score of 76,155, a delta of 0.1% from the Ryzen 9 8945HX's 76,212, meaning these two processors are statistically inseparable. The AMD EPYC Embedded 8224P and AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9945WX both sit 0.4% behind, while the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is 0.6% ahead. In real-world terms, any of these CPUs would produce the same gaming performance in Evolve, as the differences are under a single percent. The Threadripper PRO 9945WX is a workstation part, but its benchmark score shows that it would not bottleneck the GPU any differently.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 is 0.4% behind the RTX 4080 Mobile, and the RTX 5080 Mobile is 0.6% behind, which is unexpected given the generational difference but reflects the average benchmark scores. The desktop RTX 4070 is 1.3% ahead, and the Tesla P4 is also 1.3% ahead. These deltas are small, suggesting that swapping the RTX 4080 Mobile for any of these would have minimal impact on frame rates. The MX570 is a much lower-tier product, but its score of 38,299 is close to the 38,135 of the RTX 4080 Mobile, indicating the benchmark averaging smooths out differences. The RTX 5080 Mobile's 38,349 is similarly close. In practice, a system with the same CPU and any of these GPUs would rank within a few percentage points of each other in Evolve, keeping the combo at or near the top of the 3,700 tested. The performance delta between the CPU rivals is less than 1%, so a user choosing the Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX instead would see virtually identical frame rates.

The Verdict

The data provides no measured FPS and no verdict by resolution, so a definitive answer of whether this PC can run Evolve at 60 FPS cannot be stated. The combo rank 1 out of 3,700 is the strongest evidence of capability, but the empty verdictByResolution means the database has not certified any resolution or preset. The CPU's 95th percentile and the GPU's 81st percentile, coupled with the top combo position, strongly suggest the system would exceed the 60 FPS threshold at common resolutions, but this is an inference from the ranking, not a measured result.

The playable threshold of 60 FPS is defined, but without measured FPS, no preset can be verified as clearing it. The empty measured FPS array is a hard limitation. The CPU's Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 39,713 and the GPU's PassMark G3D score of 24,926 indicate high-end components, but these are not game-specific numbers. The rank 1 status is the only game-specific data point, and it implies this combo is the best available in the database. If any combination can run Evolve at 60 FPS, it is this one, but the data does not confirm it. The verdict is that this PC is top-ranked, but the absence of measured results prevents a concrete pass/fail statement per resolution.

CPU and GPU Roles

The CPU and GPU roles cannot be precisely quantified because there are no FPS measurements across resolutions or presets. The CPU's 95th percentile vs the GPU's 81st percentile indicates the CPU is relatively stronger in the broader hardware landscape, but that does not translate to game-specific bottleneck analysis. The CPU has 16 cores and 32 threads with a boost clock of 5.40 GHz, while the GPU has 7,424 shading units and 12 GB of VRAM, but without FPS scaling data, the balance of influence is unknown.

The Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 42,713 and single-core score of 6,030 show strong both multi-threaded and single-threaded performance, which matters for a game like Evolve that can use multiple cores. The GPU's DirectX 11 PassMark score of 24 is higher than DirectX 12's 96, which is unusual but not indicative of game FPS. The empty measured FPS array means there is no evidence of whether performance scales more with resolution (where GPU matters) or with preset changes (where CPU can matter).

The dataset provides no scaling between resolutions, so the roles of the CPU and GPU in this game are not quantifiable. The CPU's 64 MB of L3 cache and 32 threads suggest it can feed the GPU, but the GPU's 432 GB/s memory bandwidth and 80 ROPs indicate it is capable of high-resolution rendering. The rank 1 position implies the balancing is correct, but without FPS deltas, the data does not support a meaningful breakdown of which component dominates. The only conclusion is that this is a top-tier combo where both parts are above average in their respective pools, and the CPU is relatively stronger than the GPU in the overall dataset.
