Evolve

The question of whether an Intel Core i5-10400F paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti can run Evolve is answered directly by the recorded measurements in the database. Evolve, a FPS title released on 2015-02-09, has been tested with this exact combination, and the data includes average FPS for three resolutions and four settings presets, along with a verdict per resolution. The database ranks this combo at 1014 out of 3700 tested combinations, placing it in the upper tier of systems for this game. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS, and the recorded data shows that this system clears that bar at most settings, with a few notable exceptions at the highest quality preset in 4K.

Similar Performance Alternatives

For the CPU, the Intel Core i5-10400F has an average benchmark score of 14185 across all tests, which places it in the 68th percentile of all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The Intel Xeon 6756E posts an average score of 14163, a delta of 0.2% from the i5-10400F. The Intel Core 7 160UL scores 14232, a delta of -0.3%. The AMD EPYC 7552 scores 14115, a delta of 0.5%. The AMD Ryzen 3 7320C scores 14277, a delta of -0.6%. These four processors all sit within a 0.6% band of the i5-10400F's average score, meaning that in Evolve, CPU-bound performance would be nearly indistinguishable among them. The i5-10400F itself is a 6-core, 12-thread part with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a boost clock of 4.30 GHz. It has a 12 MB shared L3 cache, a TDP of 65 W, and supports DDR4 memory on a dual-channel bus with 42.7 GB/s of bandwidth. Its single-thread performance is reflected in a 3dmark_single_thread score of 688 and a passmark_single_thread score of 2541, while its multithreaded capability shows in a cinebench R23 multicore score of 10283 and a passmark_multithread score of 12115.

For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has an average benchmark score of 41187, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are also close. The AMD Radeon Pro 5300 scores 40870, a delta of 0.8%. The NVIDIA Tesla M40 24 GB scores 41707, a delta of -1.2%. The NVIDIA Tesla M40 scores 41897, a delta of -1.7%. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 scores 40377, a delta of 2%. These deltas indicate that the RTX 3080 Ti sits in a tight performance cluster, and any of these GPUs would deliver similar frame rates in Evolve. The RTX 3080 Ti is built on the GA102 chip with 28,300 million transistors on an 8 nm process from Samsung. It features 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 80 RT cores, and 320 tensor cores. Its memory subsystem includes 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, providing 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth. The GPU's FP32 throughput is 34.10 TFLOPS, with a pixel rate of 186.5 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 532.8 GTexel/s. The GPU has a TDP of 350 W, a suggested PSU of 750 W, and a dual-slot form factor with a length of 285 mm. The recorded data shows that the RTX 3080 Ti is a high-end part, and its rivals in the database are similarly capable, so users with those GPUs would see comparable Evolve performance.

Best Settings per Resolution

The database provides a clear verdict for each resolution based on the 60 FPS playable threshold. At 3840x2160 (4K), the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium. The best settings are High, which achieves an average FPS of 63.2. This is the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS at 4K. The Ultra preset at 4K falls to 44.6 FPS, which is below the playable threshold. At 2560x1440 (1440p), all four settings presets are playable: Low, Medium, High, and Ultra. The best settings are Ultra, with an average FPS of 72.7. This means users can run the game at maximum quality at 1440p while maintaining a comfortable margin above 60 FPS. At 1920x1080 (1080p), all four presets are also playable, and the best settings are Ultra with an average FPS of 108.4. This is the highest quality preset available and it delivers more than 100 FPS on average. The recorded data also shows the average FPS for each preset at each resolution. At 4K, Low yields 102.5 FPS, Medium 78.0 FPS, and High 63.2 FPS. At 1440p, Low yields 173.5 FPS, Medium 138.5 FPS, High 107.0 FPS, and Ultra 72.7 FPS. At 1080p, Low yields 224.6 FPS, Medium 201.3 FPS, High 160.6 FPS, and Ultra 108.4 FPS. The playable threshold is defined as 60 FPS in the database, and the verdicts are based on that threshold.

CPU and GPU Roles

To understand which component matters more for Evolve, the scaling between resolutions and presets is instructive. The CPU is an Intel Core i5-10400F with 6 cores and 12 threads, a boost clock of 4.30 GHz, and a 12 MB shared L3 cache. Its benchmark scores include a cinebench R23 multicore score of 10283 and a singlecore score of 1451, a geekbench multicore of 6257 and singlecore of 1420, and a passmark multithread of 12115. The GPU is an RTX 3080 Ti with 10240 shading units and 34.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute. Looking at the measured FPS, at 1080p Low the system delivers 224.6 FPS, which is extremely high and likely CPU-limited at that point, but the CPU's single-thread performance (3dmark_single_thread 688, passmark_single_thread 2541) is sufficient to push those frames. As resolution increases, the FPS drops consistently. For instance, at 1080p Ultra the average is 108.4 FPS, at 1440p Ultra it is 72.7 FPS, and at 4K Ultra it is 44.6 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU becomes the dominant factor at higher resolutions, as the pixel count and shading load increase. The GPU's memory bandwidth of 912.4 GB/s and 12 GB of GDDR6X memory are substantial, but the 4K Ultra preset still falls below 60 FPS. The CPU's role is more visible at lower resolutions where the frame rate is high. The drop from 1080p Low (224.6) to 1080p Medium (201.3) to 1080p High (160.6) to 1080p Ultra (108.4) shows a gradual reduction as settings increase, which is expected as the GPU workload rises. At 4K, the drop from Low (102.5) to Medium (78.0) to High (63.2) to Ultra (44.6) is steeper, indicating that the GPU's pixel throughput and shading units are the limiting factor. The data suggests that the RTX 3080 Ti is the primary driver of performance at 1440p and 4K, while the i5-10400F provides enough headroom to avoid limiting frame rates at 1080p. The CPU's percentile of 68 versus the GPU's percentile of 83 also suggests that the GPU is relatively stronger in the overall benchmark suite.

The Verdict

Can this PC run Evolve? Yes. The verdict by resolution is clear. At 3840x2160, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium. The best settings are High, which maintains an average of 63.2 FPS, just above the 60 FPS threshold. The Ultra preset at 4K is not playable, averaging 44.6 FPS. At 2560x1440, all four settings are playable, and the best is Ultra at 72.7 FPS, which clears 60 FPS with a solid margin. At 1920x1080, all four settings are playable, and the best is Ultra at 108.4 FPS, more than 80 FPS above the threshold. The database's playable threshold is set at 60 FPS, and the recorded data confirms that this combination can handle Evolve at high quality across all common resolutions. The only exception is the 4K Ultra preset, which falls short. For users who prioritize 4K, the High preset is the recommended choice, as it delivers 63.2 FPS. For 1440p and 1080p, the maximum quality preset is fully playable. The combo ranks 1014 out of 3700 tested combinations in the database, which places it in the upper tier of systems for this game.
