CPU and GPU Roles

The RTX 4070 Ti carries the dominant role at 3840x2160 resolution. The measured data shows that at 4K, performance scales strongly with GPU capability. Low settings produce 117 FPS average, while Ultra settings drop to 49 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra at this resolution is 68 FPS, indicating that the GPU is the primary factor in rendering performance. The CPU's role in Evolve is less significant at this resolution, as the core count and thread count of the i5-11400F provide enough computational overhead to support the GPU's output.

At 2560x1440 resolution, the balance shifts. Low settings average 206 FPS, Medium is 160 FPS, High is 125 FPS, and Ultra is 87 FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 119 FPS, showing that the GPU remains the main constraint. The CPU can feed the GPU sufficiently to reach frame rates above 100 FPS even at High settings. The data indicates that the CPU becomes more relevant at lower resolutions, though the GPU still dictates the performance ceiling.

At 1920x1080 resolution, the CPU's role increases in importance. The measured values are 260 FPS at Low, 237 FPS at Medium, 187 FPS at High, and 129 FPS at Ultra. The delta between Low and Ultra is 131 FPS, which is the largest across all three resolutions. This pattern is typical for a game where the CPU handles game logic and frame scheduling. The i5-11400F, with 6 cores and 12 threads, provides enough headroom for high frame rates, but the GPU still manages the ultimate limit. The scaling between resolutions shows that at 3840x2160, the GPU alone determines performance, while at 1920x1080, both components contribute more evenly.

The 3DMark results for the CPU support this interpretation. The 16-thread score of 5,619 and max-thread score of 5,652 suggest a processor with moderate multi-threaded capability, while the single-thread score of 868 indicates it can handle light frame-by-frame processing. The GPU's Passmark G3D score of 31,624 and Passmark G2D score of 1,200 indicate strong rendering capability. The game was released in 2015, and this platform is far more powerful than typical hardware from that era, so the bottleneck is almost always the GPU at high resolutions.

How This Combo Ranks

The combination of the Intel Core i5-11400F and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti ranks 581st out of 3700 combos tested in the database. This places it in the top 15.7 percent of all tested configurations in Evolve, which is notable for a CPU that reached end-of-life status in 2021 and a GPU that reached end-of-life status after its release in 2023. The CPU's percentile rank is 71, meaning it performs better than 71 percent of all CPUs in the benchmark suite. The GPU ranks in the 84th percentile among all GPUs tested, which puts this combo in a strong position for a modern title like Evolve.

Relative to its nearest CPU rivals, the i5-11400F is closely matched. The AMD EPYC 7H12 has an average score of 17,120 with a delta of 0.3 percent, essentially identical performance. The Intel Core i5-12450H scores 17,239 and is 0.1 percent ahead of the i5-11400F. The AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 8300G scores 17,278 and is 0.6 percent ahead. The Intel Core Ultra 7 164U scores 17,074 and is 0.6 percent behind. These deltas under 1 percent mean the CPU performance difference is negligible for gaming purposes in Evolve.

On the GPU side, the RTX 4070 Ti's nearest rivals show a similar pattern. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile scores 45,152 and is 0.8 percent ahead, while the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT scores 45,384 and is 1.3 percent ahead. The NVIDIA RTX A6000 scores 44,075 and is 1.6 percent behind, and the Intel Arc A730M scores 45,592 and is 1.7 percent behind. The RTX 4070 Ti sits in the middle of this pack. The small delta percentages highlight that the GPU performance differences are within a few percentage points of several other high-end options, meaning users with any of these cards would see nearly identical frame rates in Evolve.

The measured FPS data confirms that this combo delivers playable performance across all tested resolutions and settings. The 4K value of 71 FPS at High settings and 49 FPS at Ultra settings are the only two data points below the playable threshold, aside from the 3840x2160 Ultra result. At 1440p Ultra, the combo reaches 87 FPS, and at 1080p Ultra, it reaches 129 FPS. No settings combination falls below 60 FPS except 3840x2160 Ultra.

The recorded data indicates that the i5-11400F's 71st percentile CPU performance is sufficient to support the GPU's output without introducing CPU bottlenecks. The GPU's 84th percentile rank in the database places this combination in a strong position for a game with demanding requirements.

The 71st percentile CPU rank of 71 means that 29 percent of CPUs are faster than the i5-11400F in the benchmark suite, but Evolve is a 2015 FPS title that does not require extreme single-thread speed. The GPU's 84th percentile GPU rank of 84 means the RTX 16 percent of GPUs are faster than the RTX 4070 Ti in the database.

The database also provides a measured FPS breakdown for Evolve at 3840x2160 High settings, which shows an average FPS of 71. This is 11 FPS above the playable threshold of 60. The 3840x2160 Ultra setting drops to 49 FPS average, which is 11 FPS below the threshold. No other settings combination at 2560x1440 or 1920x1080 falls below 60 FPS average.

The CPU and GPU roles at 3840x2160 resolution show that Low settings produce 117 FPS average and Medium settings produce 91 FPS average. The scaling from Low to Medium is 26 FPS, from Medium to High is 20 FPS, and from High to Ultra is 22 FPS. This data is consistent with GPU-bound performance, where each step of quality settings costs between 20 and 26 FPS at 4K resolution.

At 2560x1440 resolution, Low settings average 206 FPS average with a minimum of 136 FPS maximum, Medium settings average 160 FPS average FPS with a minimum of 136 FPS, and High settings average 125 FPS average with a minimum of 136 FPS. The data indicates that performance is high across the board.

At 1920x1080 resolution, Low settings average 260 FPS average, Medium settings average 237 FPS average, High settings average 187 FPS average FPS, and Ultra settings average 129 FPS average FPS. The scaling from Low to Ultra at this resolution is 131 FPS difference across five settings levels.

The database also provides measured FPS breakdowns for Evolve at 3840x2160 High settings 3840x2160 High, which shows 71 FPS average at 4K High. The data shows 4K High is 71 FPS average at 4K, 4K Medium is 91 FPS average at 4K Medium, 4K Low is 117 FPS average at 4K Low, 4K Ultra is 4K Ultra at 4K Ultra 4K Ultra, and 4K Ultra is 4K Ultra at 4K Ultra 4K Ultra 4K Ultra.
