Evolve

The Intel Core i3-12100F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER is a well-balanced 1080p gaming combo, and the recorded data for Evolve confirms this. The measurements show a system that delivers smooth, playable frame rates at 1080p across most presets, while struggling to maintain that same level of performance at higher resolutions. The results indicate a clear ceiling for 1440p gaming and a definitive wall at 4K.

Measured FPS Breakdown

The database contains average FPS measurements for this combination across three resolutions and four quality presets. No minimum or maximum frame time data was recorded, so the analysis relies entirely on average FPS figures.

At 1920x1080, the combo performs strongly. With Low settings, the game runs at an average of 124.1 FPS, which is more than double the 60 FPS playability threshold. Moving to Medium settings, the average drops to 93.7 FPS, still a very comfortable margin. High settings yield an average of 72.7 FPS, which remains above the 60 FPS target. The Ultra preset, however, pushes the hardware to its limit, producing an average of 49.4 FPS, which falls below the playability line.

At 2560x1440, the performance drops significantly. Low settings deliver an average of 85.6 FPS, which is still solidly playable. The Medium preset achieves 61.8 FPS, just barely clearing the 60 FPS threshold. High settings fall below the line with an average of 48 FPS, and Ultra settings are worse still, at 36.3 FPS. The step from 1080p to 1440p clearly taxes the GPU heavily.

At 3840x2160, the combo is not viable for smooth gameplay. Low settings produce an average of only 45.7 FPS. Medium settings drop to 37.6 FPS, High settings fall to 26.7 FPS, and Ultra settings bottom out at 19.3 FPS. None of these presets reach the 60 FPS playability threshold.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The recorded benchmark data places the Intel Core i3-12100F in the 68th percentile of all CPUs tested, with an average benchmark score of 13494. Its nearest rivals in the database are closely matched. The Intel Core 3 N355 scores 13492, a delta of 0%, meaning the two processors are effectively identical in overall benchmark performance. The Intel Core i5-9500 scores 13452, which is 0.3% lower. The Intel Core 5 120UL scores 13594, which is 0.7% higher than the i3-12100F. Finally, the Intel Core i7-1250U scores 13351, a 1.1% deficit. These delta values are all within a narrow band, so a system using any of these CPUs would deliver very similar CPU-bound performance in Evolve.

On the GPU side, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER sits in the 53rd percentile of all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 12986. Its closest rivals show a similar pattern of near-identical performance. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Mobile scores 12940, which is 0.4% higher. The AMD Radeon RX 580 scores 12928, also 0.4% higher. The NVIDIA Tesla M2090 scores 13075, which is 0.7% lower than the GTX 1660 SUPER. The AMD Radeon 740M scores 12870, a 0.9% deficit. A gamer with any of these graphics cards could expect frame rates in Evolve that are within a few percentage points of the GTX 1660 SUPER.

CPU and GPU Roles

The data shows that the graphics card is the limiting factor in this pairing, especially as resolution increases. The CPU, a 4-core, 8-thread Alder Lake part with a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, has ample processing power for a game from 2015. Its single-thread and multi-thread benchmark scores, including a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 11860 and a single-core score of 1674, indicate it can feed frames to the GPU without becoming a bottleneck at the frame rates measured.

The evidence for GPU limitation is in the scaling between resolutions. At 1080p, the average FPS ranges from 124.1 on Low down to 49.4 on Ultra. At 1440p, the same presets yield 85.6 down to 36.3. At 4K, they plummet to 45.7 to 19.3. If the CPU were the primary constraint, the frame rate would remain relatively flat regardless of resolution. Instead, the dramatic drop from 124.1 FPS at 1080p Low to 85.6 FPS at 1440p Low shows the GPU struggling to handle the increased pixel count. The transition from 1080p Medium at 93.7 FPS to 1440p Medium at 61.8 FPS is a loss of about 34%, a clear sign of a GPU-heavy workload. The same pattern holds for High settings, which fall from 72.7 FPS at 1080p to 48 FPS at 1440p.

How This Combo Ranks

Out of 3700 tested combinations in the database, this specific pairing of the Intel Core i3-12100F and the GTX 1660 SUPER ranks 3223rd for Evolve. This rank places it in the lower tier of all tested systems. The high rank number indicates that the vast majority of other CPU and GPU pairings outperform this one. A rank of 3223 out of 3700 puts it in the bottom quarter of all combos, meaning its overall score is below average for the game. This low standing is consistent with the FPS data, which shows playability at 1080p and 1440p Medium at best, but a failure to reach 60 FPS at 4K on any setting.

The combo's percentile rankings for its components are also informative. The CPU at the 68th percentile and the GPU at the 53rd percentile individually look like a solid mid-range setup. However, the combo's overall rank suggests that pairing them for Evolve does not yield a top-tier result. The database indicates that the GPU is closer to the bottom half of all GPUs, and the combination rank of 3223 reflects a system that is likely outclassed by most others in the database.

This rank of 3223 out of 3700 means the combo outperforms 477 other tested combos, those combos ranked 3224 through 3700. It is behind 3222 other systems. The data indicates that this combo falls behind 87.1% of all combos. The rank of 3223 also means it is ahead of 477 combos.
