Performance Analysis: Evolve on Your System
The Intel Core i5-11400F paired with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER delivers a wide spread of frame rates in Evolve, depending entirely on resolution and quality preset. The recorded data spans from a 47 FPS average at 4K Ultra to a 260 FPS average at 1080p Low, showing that this combination has enough headroom for high-refresh monitors at lower resolutions but needs careful settings selection at 4K. The following sections break down the measured performance, the balance between CPU and GPU load, alternative hardware with similar output, and the final verdict on playability.
Measured FPS Breakdown
At 1920x1080, the combination is overwhelmingly fast. Low settings produce a 260 FPS average, which is the highest recorded figure in the entire dataset for this pairing. Medium settings drop to 226 FPS average, with a minimum of 192 FPS and a maximum of 260 FPS. High settings record 177 FPS average, and Ultra still maintains a 123 FPS average. Every preset at 1080p clears the 60 FPS playability threshold by a substantial margin, and even the most demanding preset nearly doubles that target.
At 2560x1440, performance remains very strong but begins to show scaling pressure. Low settings average 196 FPS, Medium averages 152 FPS with a minimum of 129 FPS and maximum of 174 FPS, High averages 119 FPS, and Ultra averages 82 FPS. All four presets stay above 60 FPS, with Ultra being the only one that does not clear 100 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 114 FPS, indicating that the GPU workload scales significantly with quality settings.
At 3840x2160, the picture changes. Low settings average 111 FPS, Medium averages 86 FPS with a minimum of 73 FPS and maximum of 99 FPS, and High averages 68 FPS. These three presets remain playable above the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra, however, falls to a 47 FPS average, which is below the playable threshold and the only recorded preset in the entire dataset that fails to reach 60 FPS. The difference between High and Ultra at 4K is 21 FPS, a steep drop that suggests Ultra imposes a disproportionately heavy load on the GPU.
Notably, the dataset only includes minimum and maximum values for the Medium preset at each resolution. At 1080p Medium, the minimum of 192 FPS and maximum of 260 FPS show a narrow band of variation. At 1440p Medium, the minimum of 129 FPS and maximum of 174 FPS represent a wider spread, and at 4K Medium, the minimum of 73 FPS and maximum of 99 FPS indicate that even within a single preset, frame pacing varies more as resolution increases. For all other presets, only average values are recorded, so the analysis relies on those averages for comparison.
CPU and GPU Roles
The data reveals a clear shift in bottleneck behavior as resolution changes. At 1080p, the CPU has more influence because the GPU can produce very high frame counts, and the recorded averages of 260 FPS at Low and 226 FPS at Medium suggest that the Intel Core i5-11400F, with its 6 cores and 12 threads, is capable of feeding the RTX 4070 SUPER without becoming the limiting factor at these settings. The CPU’s boost clock of 4.40 GHz and 12 MB of shared L3 cache support this interpretation, as the game’s frame generation at low resolution relies heavily on single-thread and multi-thread responsiveness.
At 1440p, the balance shifts toward the GPU. The average FPS drops from 196 at Low to 82 at Ultra, a reduction of 58%, while the same settings change at 1080p only reduces the average from 260 to 123, a reduction of 53%. The larger absolute drop at 1440p indicates that the GPU is becoming the dominant constraint, since the resolution increase adds pixel shading work that the CPU cannot compensate for. The CPU still matters, but its role is less visible because the GPU is already working harder.
At 4K, the GPU is clearly the primary factor. The average FPS at Low is 111, which is less than half of the 260 FPS recorded at 1080p Low. The Ultra preset at 4K produces 47 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold, and this is the only preset where the combination fails to deliver playable performance. The scaling from 1440p to 4K is steep: at High settings, the average drops from 119 FPS to 68 FPS, a 43% reduction, and at Ultra it drops from 82 FPS to 47 FPS, a 43% reduction as well. This consistent percentage drop across resolutions points to a GPU-bound workload where the CPU’s contribution is largely saturated.
The CPU’s benchmark scores place it in the 71st percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of 17177. Its nearest rivals include the AMD EPYC 7H12, which scores 17120 with a 0.3% difference, and the Intel Core i5-12450H, which scores 17239 with a negative 0.4% difference. These figures suggest that the i5-11400F is a mid-to-upper tier processor, but its performance in Evolve is not the deciding factor at higher resolutions. The GPU, which sits in the 83rd percentile among all GPUs with an average benchmark score of 43223, is the component that determines whether Ultra settings are viable at 4K.
Similar Performance Alternatives
For the CPU, the nearest rivals in the database are the AMD EPYC 7H12, the Intel Core i5-12450H, the AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U. The AMD EPYC 7H12 has an average score of 17120, which is 0.3% lower than the i5-11400F, meaning it would behave nearly identically in CPU-bound scenarios. The Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17239, just 0.4% higher, so the difference is negligible in practice. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17278, 0.6% higher, and the Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 17074, 0.6% lower, placing all four within a very tight band around the i5-11400F. None of these rivals offer a meaningful performance advantage or disadvantage, so swapping the CPU for any of them would not change the game’s frame rates in any measurable way.
For the GPU, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile. The Quadro M6000 24 GB scores 43262, only 0.1% lower than the RTX 4070 SUPER, so it would produce nearly the same average FPS across all resolutions and presets. The GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 43268, also 0.1% lower, and the Quadro M6000 scores 43301, 0.2% lower. The closest rival by score is the GeForce RTX 4090 Mobile at 43667, which is 1% higher than the RTX 4070 SUPER, still a small difference that would not push any preset across a meaningful threshold. In practical terms, any of these GPUs would deliver the same playable settings at 1080p, the same Ultra viability at 1440p, and the same failure at 4K Ultra, since the only sub-60 FPS result is the 4K Ultra preset, where the RTX 4070 SUPER averages 47 FPS.
The data indicates that the RTX 4070 SUPER is not alone in its performance class, as all four rivals cluster within a 1% range around its 43223 average score. This means that users with any of these GPUs would see very similar scaling curves, and the game’s performance profile would be nearly indistinguishable across the entire settings range.
The Verdict
Yes, this PC can run Evolve, but with a critical caveat at 4K Ultra. The verdict by resolution data shows that at 3840x2160, the playable settings are High, Low, and Medium, with High being the best settings. High averages 68 FPS, which clears the 60 FPS threshold by 8 FPS. Low averages 111 FPS and Medium averages 86 FPS, both well above the threshold. However, Ultra is listed as playable, but its average is 47 FPS, which is below the 60 FPS threshold. Therefore, the verdict for 4K is to use High settings for a consistent 68 FPS average, and to avoid Ultra unless a lower frame rates are acceptable.
At 2560x1440, all four presets are playable, and Ultra is the best settings choice. Ultra averages 82 FPS, which is above the 60 FPS threshold by 22 FPS, and High averages 119 FPS, Medium averages 152 FPS, and Low averages 196 FPS. The verdict for 1440p is to run Ultra without hesitation, as even the most demanding preset stays above 60 FPS.
At 1920x1080, every preset is playable, and Ultra is the best settings option. Ultra averages 123 FPS, more than double the 60 FPS threshold, and High averages 177 FPS, Medium averages 226 FPS, and Low averages 260 FPS. The verdict for 1080p is simple: run Ultra for a high-refresh experience, as the average FPS is more than sufficient for 120 Hz displays.
How This Combo Ranks
The combination ranks 662nd out of 3700 tested combos in the database for Evolve. This places it in the upper portion of tested hardware setups, as the 662nd position out of 3700 total combos indicates a strong result. The rank is a relative measure of performance against all other CPU and GPU pairs in the database, and the 662nd position shows that the i5-11400F and RTX 4070 SUPER outperform the majority of tested combinations. The CPU’s percentile of 71 and the GPU’s percentile of 83 support this high ranking, as both components sit above the 70th and 80th percentiles respectively. In the context of Evolve specifically, the rank reflects the strong 1080p and 1440p results, the strong High and Medium results at all resolutions, and the single Ultra failure at 4K. The rank is not a measure of value, but a measure of raw performance, and the data shows that this combo sits above the 82% threshold of all tested combos when ranked by performance.
The rank also indicates that while the RTX 4070 SUPER is a high-end GPU, the i5-11400F is a mid-level CPU, and the combination performs above the 662nd position in a field of 3700, the combined hardware is in the upper 18% of all combos. This is a strong showing, and the data indicates that for Evolve players, this combo is a reliable performer across the vast majority of settings presets.
The combination’s rank of 662nd out of 3700 also implies that there are 3038 combos ranked higher, but the data does not specify which combos those are, only that the 662nd position places this pair in the top tier of tested configurations. The 1080p Ultra average of 123 FPS, the 1440p Ultra of 82 FPS, and the 4K High of 68 FPS all contribute to this rank, and the 4K Ultra of 47 FPS does not hurt the rank, but the overall position remains high.
