Performance Analysis: Evolve on Your System
The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 has been measured in Evolve, a 2015 FPS title. The database records average FPS across three resolutions and four quality presets, and the results indicate that this system is capable of smooth gameplay at most settings, with the exception of 4K Ultra. The following analysis breaks down the measured performance, compares the components to nearby alternatives, and provides guidance on the best settings for each resolution.
Measured FPS Breakdown
The database provides average FPS for each resolution and preset combination. Minimum and maximum frame rates were not recorded for this title, so the analysis relies solely on the average figures. At 1920x1080, the system delivers high frame rates across all presets: Low averages 259.3 FPS, Medium 204.2 FPS, High 161.7 FPS, and Ultra 110.5 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra represents a 148.8 FPS drop, but even the most demanding preset remains well above the 60 FPS playable threshold.
At 2560x1440, the averages are 174.7 FPS on Low, 136.4 FPS on Medium, 109.4 FPS on High, and 75.1 FPS on Ultra. The Ultra preset still clears 60 FPS by a comfortable margin, with a 99.6 FPS gap between Low and Ultra. At 3840x2160, the picture changes: Low averages 100.7 FPS, Medium 80.1 FPS, High 62.6 FPS, and Ultra drops to 41.7 FPS. Only the Ultra preset falls below the 60 FPS threshold, while High remains playable by a narrow 2.6 FPS margin.
The resolution scaling is steep. Comparing the same preset across resolutions, the 1080p Low average of 259.3 FPS is more than double the 4K Low figure of 100.7 FPS. Similarly, 1080p Ultra at 110.5 FPS is 68.8 FPS higher than 4K Ultra at 41.7 FPS. This pattern indicates that the GPU is heavily taxed as pixel count increases, while the CPU has enough headroom to keep up at lower resolutions.
CPU and GPU Roles
The recorded FPS scaling across resolutions and presets reveals how the workload shifts between the CPU and GPU. At 1080p, frame rates are extremely high, especially on Low (259.3 FPS) and Medium (204.2 FPS). These numbers suggest that the CPU, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of feeding the GPU at this resolution without becoming a limiting factor. The CPU's average benchmark score of 17,177 and its 71st percentile ranking among all CPUs support this view.
As resolution increases to 1440p and then 4K, the FPS drops sharply. For example, at Ultra settings, the average falls from 110.5 FPS at 1080p to 75.1 FPS at 1440p and 41.7 FPS at 4K. This is a classic sign of GPU-bound behavior: the RTX 4070's rendering capacity becomes the primary constraint as the number of pixels grows. The GPU's average benchmark score of 37,648 and its 81st percentile ranking place it well above the CPU in relative strength, which aligns with the observed resolution scaling.
The preset scaling within a given resolution also points to the GPU as the dominant factor. At 4K, lowering from Ultra to High increases the average FPS from 41.7 to 62.6, a 50% improvement. At 1080p, the same preset change yields a 46% increase (from 110.5 to 161.7). The relative improvement is similar, indicating that the GPU is the main bottleneck at both resolutions, though the absolute headroom at 1080p gives the CPU more room to operate without being the limiting factor.
Similar Performance Alternatives
The Intel Core i5-11400F sits close to several other CPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, based on average benchmark score, are the AMD EPYC 7H12 (0.3% delta), Intel Core Ultra 7 164U (0.6% delta), Intel Core i5-12450H (-0.4% delta), and AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G (-0.6% delta). All of these CPUs have average scores within 0.6% of the i5-11400F's 17,177. In Evolve, where the GPU is often the primary constraint, any of these CPUs would be expected to deliver nearly identical frame rates when paired with the same graphics card.
For the GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 is similarly close to several alternatives. Its average benchmark score of 37,648 is within 1.3% of the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (1.3% delta), 0.4% of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 (0.4% delta), 0.1% of the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (0.1% delta), and -1.3% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile. The RTX 4080 Mobile is 1.3% lower in score, meaning it would perform slightly below the desktop RTX 4070 in Evolve, while the other three are marginally faster. Users with any of these GPUs paired with a comparable CPU would see very similar average FPS in this game.
How This Combo Ranks
The combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 ranks 830th out of 3,700 tested combos in Evolve. This places the system in the upper quartile of all tested configurations, specifically in the top 22.4% of the list. The GPU's 81st percentile ranking is notably higher than the CPU's 71st percentile, which suggests that the graphics card is the stronger component in this pairing. The combo rank reflects the overall balance: the system is well above the median for Evolve, and the measured FPS confirms that it can handle the game at high settings and resolutions.
The Verdict
Can this PC run Evolve? Yes, with the caveat that 4K Ultra is not playable. At 1920x1080, all four presets average above 60 FPS, with Ultra at 110.5 FPS. At 2560x1440, all presets also clear 60 FPS, with Ultra at 75.1 FPS. At 3840x2160, the High preset averages 62.6 FPS, which is just above the 60 FPS threshold, while Medium and Low are also playable. The Ultra preset at 4K falls short at 41.7 FPS. Therefore, the system is fully capable of running Evolve at 1080p and 1440p with maximum settings, and at 4K with High settings or lower.

Best Settings per Resolution
The most demanding preset that maintains an average of at least 60 FPS at each resolution is as follows:
- 1920x1080: Ultra, averaging 110.5 FPS
- 2560x1440: Ultra, averaging 75.1 FPS
- 3840x2160: High, averaging 62.6 FPS
These settings provide the highest visual quality while staying above the playable threshold. Users who prefer higher frame rates can drop to lower presets, as even the Low preset at 4K averages 100.7 FPS.
